Hey. Hey. Hey. That's where I'll be walking. Figured I get up a little early. Not that early, but I wanted to see a bit more. I'm excited to explore. Let's go. Heat. Hey, Heat. Hello. Hi. How's it going? I'm so excited. I'm coming to you from Spain. If you've seen my channel before, you may have seen like over the years I've done these really fun large group trips every other year or so. Like we went to Costa Rica. We went to to Sicily and Santa Palazo. And this year, we're doing another friend group trip here in Costa Bravo, which I'm so excited about.

Costa Bravo, if you're unfamiliar, is a coastal region in Catalonia. And it's just like literally a few hours away from Barcelona. And it's just like a part of Europe that I've never explored. And I'm grateful to say I've done a lot of the Mediterranean and I've just never been to this region. And we basically found this insane place to stay here. There's 11 of us, which is insane. I feel like we started off with like seven and now there's like other friends and partners and it just kind of shifts and evolves every year, which is really exciting.

I always enjoy capturing these videos cuz they're outside my like normal travel videos or even vlogs because there's just such fun, unique energy when you're traveling with so many people and there's so many like beautiful fun ridiculous silly little moments. And I'm really excited, as I said, to get to know this part of the Mediterranean. So, it's going to be so beautiful. I'm so ready for some sunshine, a tan. I need one. I'm overdue. And just to have like a really beautiful warm weather trip. And I'm also very excited because this video is sponsored by Hotels.com, which for one is a dream to work with Hotels.com.

Like, I'm genuinely so excited about it. But also, this is genuinely something that is so helpful if you're a traveler. Like, I would be speaking about it organically. When I learned about this new feature, I was like, "Wait a second." Like, everyone needs to know about this. Basically, Hotels.com is launching this new feature called Save Your Way for members. When you go to book something, you can basically choose to save money instantly with member price discounts or save rewards for a future trip down the line. Like when I was in Barcelona a few days ago staying in a hotel, I could basically gain rewards from that and then use that down the line.

Especially when I'm doing these more local trips here in Europe, I personally like using the saving feature because I want to save those rewards for a bigger, further away, longer trip. I'm basically can save in advance and bank my points to use them in the future. It's literally just a way to get rewards to be able to travel more. I also think for any of you who book your own work travel, it is again an incredible way to save some rewards for yourself so you can plan an exciting trip. It's literally totally free, no strings attached.

It literally just helps you save money and travel more. I'll of course leave everything down below. This is your sign to book with hotels.com and use the save t-shirt. So, I'm so excited to share that from hotels.com. I think that is incredible for all my travelers out there. And on that note, I'm going to go get settled and let's meet the whole crew, too, shall we? Okay. Come on. Come on. Say that you love me. Don't leave me all alone. No. I got to have you. Baby, won't you? Wait, what's it name?

She dropped. Yay. Very girlhood of us. Girls. Should I put bronzer on my chest? Tonight we're having a little at home dinner, which is super cute. I've been doing my makeup the same way all the time. A little bit of this foundation or I love the Dior like foundation stick. It is so good. Never had like a cleaner foundation finish in my life. A little bit of brown eyeliner. The most important thing in the summer is blush. We just been using this Sephora creamad. It looks like a fish. Don't you feel the times are coming when it feels so right?

I dance in the moonlight baby with you. We are strong. But when the sun's my face, I think of you in all my trouble. This diva I would copy them. This is precarious. I usually don't get fair of heights, but like this is a lot more thin than it looks. Peter, if you're sick the whole time really bad, anything just a piece of you and me. You and me. I just want to give you everything. But this is so beautiful. We haven't been in the sea yet. Look at this. I just want to give you everything.

You can see anything, baby. Just a piece of you and me. You and me. I just want to be a symphony. Turn off the lights. My favorite time aka book review. Today has been beautiful and we're getting ready right now because we're about to head out to a cute little dinner on the top of the town. I finished this book, Martyr, today and oh my goodness, this was incredible. This is I think my favorite read so far of 2025. This book is beautiful. It's basically the story of this like Iranian I don't know if you would call him an Iranian refugee, Iranian-American, and he was raised since like infasy in the US.

And it's kind of this like exploration of like for one this sense of self identity when it comes to like cultural belonging also as well as sexuality, different musings as an artist. And the writing style is so exquisite. Not going to lie, the plot was a little slow the first like twothirds of the book, but I didn't care. And I I like a good plot. But then the last third of the book, crazy plot twist. Did not see it coming. Like the plot picked up. I loved it. I highly would recommend this.

Beautifully done. Okay, let's get an outfit. I got this boow number like 6 months ago and I've never worn her. Let's try her on. Is that how it goes? I don't know. Do I keep my hair down? Do we do like a bun situation? Ash, what are you wearing? Where are you? Hello. Oh, cute. Hi. Somehow we've ended up on the side of the road. Oh no. My sweet angel drama here. There's too much costume. Oh, good morning. It's birthday time. Heat. Hello. This for you dress. Vanessa Bruno bag. Also Vanessa Bruno.

We have this cute little necklace by Orvi Beerman. love. Look at this. My life don't you still the one I want you to by the pool all day at her house in Spain. She said come a little bit closer now. Don't be shy. Oh, won't you be mine? You've been slaving away. I made this match like 4 hours ago. Teamwork. Yeah. Now it's a moment and a sh who Heat. Heat.
