After a long week in the kitchen, Martinez’s go-to ritual is a calming bath with. “I try to do it at the beginning and end of the week on Sunday and Thursday nights,” she says.
Martinez oversees the desserts at all three of the hotel’s restaurants, and at Tiny Lou’s, the hotel’s ground floor brasserie, the hits keep coming.cheekily called “fraises with benefits,” is a recent customer favorite, and the chocolate Royale, with Venezuelan chocolate and cardamon ganache is frequently the menu’s best seller. When Martinez finishes her kitchen shifts, a hot bath with the soak, made up of bath salts and essential oils, “leaves my skin feeling really smooth,” she says.
Martinez first discovered French Girl Sea Soak at an Anthropologie store . She prefers the rose scented version, although it’s also available in mint. She says that unlike other bath bombs she’s tried, the French Girl Sea Soak doesn’t leave residue in the tub.
