One of my favorite haute Hamptonites is gorgeous Melanie Brandman, owner of The Brandman Agency [one of the country’s premier PR agencies specializing in luxury hospitality and lifestyle brands!] and founder of the fabulous luxury travel site, The Travel Curator. This awesome Aussie represents some of the world’s most recognized and prestigious brands in luxury travel~ from iconic hotels such as the Cipriani in Venice to La Mamounia in Marrakech. Brandman shares, “I’ve been lucky enough to visit most of the world’s most compelling destinations, one of the true joys of traveling is the intoxicating feeling that there’s still more to see!”

KDHamptons caught up with this jetsetter to find out if she has any inspired New Years resolutions to share with our readers. Check out her KDHamptons Diary below:

Melanie shares, “2012 was a very busy travel year for me. It’s always busy, but this year was more about the exotic and adventurous~ from hiking in Bhutan to sailing the Irrawaddy River in Myanmar (formerly Burma).  I find it incredibly difficult to stay on my wellness regime when on the road – too many fantastic new tastes to experience!”

Adding, “What’s my secret weapon for staying healthy? I like to embrace the classic juice cleanse with an enticing twist. From California to Miami, juice bars and cleanse companies offer varying amounts of support for customers, but, in my opinion, Organic Avenue’s “Cleanse Concierge” service takes the cake — or replaces it, as the case may be!”

Melanie says, “Although New Year’s resolutions often get a bad rap as promises just waiting to be broken, with the help of your own personal cleanse consultant to answer questions and provide encouragement, it makes it much easier for me to stay on track.”

“When summer comes, I tend to stick close to home, which includes my boathouse in Southampton,” say Melanie. “The availability of Organic Avenue on Jobs Lane in Southampton has made it so much easier for me to get through the summer in tip top shape. I am a huge fan of their juices, but also love their vegan food – the kale salad is particularly fabulous (and I don’t even like kale!).”

An Organic Avenue Cleanse Concierge will assess your goals, nutritional preferences, and dietary restrictions to design an inspiring cleanse experience. Whether you’re taking the first step towards a healthier lifestyle, or looking for a seasonal routine to maintain optimal health. http://www.organicavenue.com/
