Mittenaere became the 65th Miss Universe this past January and is the second woman from France to hold the title, bringing the crown home 64 years after her predecessor. "As the fi rst French Miss Universe in over 50 years, Iris is a natural fi t as Guinot's brand ambassador," says Joel Lachman, president of Lachman Imports/Guinot USA. "We're thrilled to have such a smart, warm and talented person representing the brand." Mittenaere says she's grateful that Guinot will make it easier for her to maintain a well-balanced beauty regimen during her busy schedule as Miss Universe. "I travel a lot and value good skincare products," she notes. "I've been able to learn more about my skin type and which Guinot products and treatments are best for me, and I look forward to sharing the Guinot experience with others." Mittenaere is also in her fi fth year of dental school, and as Miss Universe she will be working with Smile Train, a global organization that provides cleft repair surgeries for children in underdeveloped countries.

Hospitality brand Hilton is working to change that with its new Five Feet to Fitness program. The wellness concept establishes a separate room category featuring 11 exercise equipment options, allowing hotel guests to work out in their own private quarters. Equipment includes an indoor bike from British cycling innovator Wattbike; the Gym Rax functional training station; and a Fitness Kiosk embedded within the Gym Rax system, where guests receive equipment tutorials and follow guided workout routines. Additionally, Five Feet to Fitness offers a meditation chair for the mindful traveler, blackout shades for restorative sleep, Biofreeze to ease muscle tension, and a selection of protein and hydration beverage options. These rooms are part of the company's efforts to modernize the hospitality fi tness experience and make it more inclusive for all. "We've gone much farther than simply placing a piece of equipment in a room," says Ryan Crabbe, Hilton global wellness senior director. "The range of activity is motivating, and is made to suit our guests' varied and evolving wellness habits." The program is currently available at Parc 55 San Francisco, and will soon launch in regions including Atlanta, Austin (Texas), Chicago, Las Vegas, New York and San Diego. Sweat en Suite
