Travel
The food is as important as the setting, which is why nothing beats delicious (unlimited) eats in Cabo.
A neglected desert village at the tip of Baja California, there was a time when Cabo's future was simply a tuna cannery with a massive potential waiting to be discovered.
The Sierra Madre Mountains loom in the distance over dense, verdant jungle that wraps around the crescent-shape Banderas Bay, the site of wandering peacocks, sunbathing iguanas and an all-inclusive resort introducing a fresh take on paradise.
Countless tourists travel to the tip of the Baja peninsula every year to take advantage of all the luxuries offered in Los Cabos, even if only for a weekend. But for those who choose to stay, there is one community offering residents a lavish lifestyle that you'll never have to depart from.
The crown jewel of most Mexico resorts is a sparkling pool, over-the-top spa or world-renowned chef. But for these boutique stays, it's their funky, avant-garde features that keep guests coming back.
If there is ever a time to over-indulge in excess, it is on your wedding day, one of the most exciting celebrations of love.
The magical boutique getaway is tucked into the jungles of the Celestun Biosphere Reserve and is a thriving hideaway where the adventurous side of life is celebrated and embraced.

Music
MTV's Hottest Breakthrough MC of 2011, and "Wild Boy" rapper, Machine Gun Kelly (MGK), has been firing out brutally honest lyrics at rapid speed. With one album under his ammo belt and a second to be released soon, MGK has his sights set on one day selling out arenas.
From his hometown church choir to the Grammy stage, R&B singer-songwriter Anthony Hamilton is known for his honest and emotional songs-both heartbreaking and joyful-that are characterized by raw feelings and smooth, soulful sounds.
It doesn't take long to recognize the voice of reggae artist Shaggy whose music is replete with funky sounds, feel-good beats and catchy lines. Managing to stay true to himself and his musical style, Shaggy has found success in a variety of genres from reggae to pop to dancehall.
While she might be known for some of her big hits of decades past as part of rock and roll group Heart, Ann Wilson is her own force to be reckoned with. Setting out on her own tour, Ann is stretching her wings and giving fans a dose of her own musical stylings.
Nightlife & Entertainment
Going to the gym can lead to a fit body, healthier lifestyle, and a positive mind. Sometimes it can lead to even better things, like Tipsy, the new nightlife app that helps support and promote your healthy partying habits.
In recent years the way music is listened to has completely changed with listeners no longer purchasing music to own it, but rather stream it by using platforms like Spotify, Pandora and Apple Music. With just a few services dominating the streaming game, it's become nearly impossible to please both the artist AND the listener.
What could be more exclusive than your very own private space in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale, reserved for only those who hold the key? Perhaps to throw a fancy party or an exquisite business dinner?
Food & Drink
What happens after you've created one of the most luxurious places to live? You create a tequila to match.
One of summer's more popular drinks, sangria is the perfect poolside companion and tapas-dinner accompaniment. With fruity flavors and refreshing notes, its impossible to not sip at least one of these during a sizzling Arizona summer.
