ROCS Travel proudly launch Pelagian Islands

ROCS Travel, together with its partners from Italy comprising a consortium of Italian hoteliers on the Italian island of Lampedusa, will be offering a direct flight twice weekly to the Pelagian Islands which are not only a true gem in the med, but even better for us Maltese, they are just a mere 25 minutes flight away. They are better known as the Maldives of the Mediterranean. The Pelagian Islands are a true marvel, with a dreamlike setting, surrounded by a magical atmosphere with incredible marine life and water whose clarity and whose shades of blue attract visitors and tourists from all over the world.

Trip Advisor travellers have declared that the beach of rabbits (La Baia Dei Conigli) in Lampedusa is not just a beautiful beach, but also the most beautiful beach in the world! The trip advisor declaration was awarded in 2013, naming the Pelagian Islands as having the best beach in the world.

Taking their name from the Greek for ‘high sea’, the Islands in Italian which are referred to as Le IsolePelagie, are closer to Malta than their political and administrative home of southern Italy. Belonging to the Sicilian province of Agrigento and situated 150km west of Malta, this group of three Islands comprises of Lampione, Linosa and the largest of the three, Lampedusa.

ROCS Travel will be offering direct flights twice weekly from Malta to the Pelagian Islands starting from June to October 2016. ROCS Travel, not only offers the direct flights, but also truly attractive accommodation and excursion rates, which will surely make a wonderful summer holiday. Needless to say that food is typically Italian and hence absolutely delicious; therefore with such beautiful sea and amazing beaches this new destination will undoubtedly be a natural choice for those who are after an enjoyable summer break.

“It all started when we met Michael Zammit Tabona and Anthony D’Amato. Together we started discussing the idea of organising direct flights from Malta to the Palegianislands. For us such connection was so natural as Malta is closer to our beautiful islands than we are to mainland Italy” stated Giovanni Damiano Lombardo, spokesperson and one of the hoteliers forming part of the hotels consortium who together with ROCS are making all this possible.

“It will be the first ever regular leisure international flight landing in Lampedusa and we are extremely positive we will give all the Maltese a welcome to remember. Our close partnership with Michael Zammit Tabona and Malta’s leading tour operator, ROCS Travel was only natural and I firmly believe we have what it takes to me this venture a success” concluded Mr Lombardo.

“We have already mailed a 16 page brochure dedicated to the Palegian Islands into each and every household in Malta and Gozo. This project is the start of a new cooperation dedicated to a new destination just 25 minutes away from our shores, which ROCS aims to establish in the Maltese islands like it did so successfully through out the past years” commented ROCS Travel director, Rachel Vella.

“The exquisitefood, the unique beaches, the Italian way of doing things make the Palegian Islands the obvious choice this summer. Moreover with such a short flight all those who have always refrained from travel because of long trips, today have no excuse as it is an affordable destination starting from just €199. We are so proud of our relationship with Zammit Tabona and D’Amatotogether with the Italian hoteliers who have made such a venture possible!” concluded Vella.

Dermatologists Say You Should Never Travel Without These 11 Beauty Products — Prices Start at $7

Keep your skin hydrated and nourished with these expert-approved picks.

Travel + Leisure / Daisy Rodriguez

It can be hard enough to find a skincare regime that works for you in general, let alone one that you can travel with. Between airport regulations on what you can and can’t pack to trying to preserve as much space in your toiletry bag as possible, curating a travel skincare routine can be challenging, but not impossible. That’s why we tapped the experts on the subject, a.k.a. licensed dermatologists and aestheticians, to share some insight on what’s worth packing and leaving at home to get your routine ready for travel. 

Complete with an sunscreen that can do double duty and a facial cleansing bar that’ll not only cleanse, but control puffiness from long flights, this list features the 11 best skincare and beauty picks, hand-selected by dermatologists themselves. Better yet, prices start at just $7, so curating the perfect travel skincare stash is just a budget-friendly scroll away.   

Carbon Theory Labs Vitamin C and Caffeine Facial Cleansing Bar 

Dr. Nava Greenfield is a New York City-based board-certified dermatologist that recommends travelers to “prioritize the basics and prescriptions. Don't pack the exfoliators that you use one to two times weekly, don't pack the eye cream that takes up room but only requires one pin drop size when applying.” 

As for her go-to skincare product, she loves this vitamin C and caffeine cleansing bar that “works to control the under-eye puffiness that can occur from flights and lack of sleep, and also as an antioxidant cleanser. This comes in a resealable bag, which is perfect for the hotel and then to bring back home to use again for the next trip.”

Ren Skincare Mini Evercalm Global Protection Day Cream

Ren Skincare

Dr. Greenfield also suggests leaving behind your “large fluid moisturizer and cleanser that can't go on the carry-on." She continued, "Skip the morning antioxidant serum that also needs to be checked. Instead, pack travel-sized products that accomplish multiple functions in one.” 

So, what does she pack when her skin needs a little extra hydration and nourishment post-flight? Dr. Greenfield told Travel + Leisure that she's a fan of Ren Clean Skincare because of the brand's toxin-free products, which are not only clean for your skin, but also for the planet. Snag this powerful balmy moisturizer, which is formulated with soothing and reparative ingredients to keep your skin relaxed and free of redness ,irritation, and dryness when you're traveling.  

CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser Travel Size

Although many hotels come equipped with their own toiletries, these products don’t always cater to every skin type or your complexion's unique concerns. In a TikTok video, dermatologist Dr. Andrea Suarez bluntly shared that “hotel toiletries are horrible" and implored her followers to " do yourself a favor and pack a hydrating facial cleanser,” this way you can ensure that you're effectively washing your face without stripping or disturbing your skin barrier. 

Her top pick is the incredibly popular and travel-sized Hydrating Facial Cleanser from CeraVe, which is gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin. It features skin barrier-strengthening ceramides and hyaluronic acid to restore moisture after cleansing, so your skin will never feel tight or look red after using it. 

Aquaphor Healing Ointment Two-Pack

In that same video, Dr. Suarez also recommended snagging a travel-sized version of Aquaphor to fend away cracked heels, chafing, and, of course, chapped lips. At just a quarter of an ounce, this versatile travel superstar will take you far, and save precious toiletry bag space in the process. Leave your lip balm, foot ointments, and chafing creams at home in lieu of this convenient, effective product. It can also come in handy for minor injuries and sunburns with its healing properties, and even double as a dewy highlighter when applied to your cheekbones. 

Murad Multi-Vitamin Clear Coat SPF 50

According to dermatologist Dr. Tia Paul , “It's essential to take care of your skin, considering factors like sun exposure, changes in climate, and environmental stressors.” This is especially true during the warm-weather travel seasons, which is why she wholeheartedly believes that the most important skincare product is sunscreen. 

Need help picking a new, do-it-all SPF? Dr. Paul loves the Murad Multi-Vitamin Clear Coat SPF 50 that has a clear, gel-based formula that “doesn't just offer UVA/UVB protection, but it also has antioxidant such as vitamins C, D, E, and F to help prevent the early signs of aging that can be caused by sun damage.”

La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum 

Between the stale air of flights and the stress of long travel days, the skin can become incredibly dry and irritated. To keep your skin plump and hydrated, New York-based dermatologist Dr. Jeremy Bauer suggests packing a hyaluronic serum for a daily boost of moisture. 

His go-to is the La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum because it “combines various humectants in one product. It helps hydrate and plump the skin with hyaluronic acid, dimethicone and vitamin B5 — the perfect all-in-one serum for your next excursion.”

Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Brush-On Shield SPF 50

Nurse practitioner and founder of Destination Aesthetics Medical Spa Shawna Chrisman travels a lot for both work and pleasure, and if there’s one thing that you can bet always stays in her travel bag, it's her Colorescience’s Sunforgettable Total Protection Brush-On Shield SPF 50. The genius two-in-one product is both your powder compact and sunscreen with its color-correcting, oil-absorbing, and broad-spectrum SPF 50 technology. 

“Even on the airplane your skin can be exposed to sunlight so it’s important to reapply. This powder, all-mineral sunscreen breezes through TSA and goes on easily over my makeup for all-day, on-the-go, reapplication.” 

Colorescience Total Eye 3-in-1 Renewal Therapy SPF 35

Chrisman also advocates for travelers to pack products that do more than just one thing, which is why she’s also a fan of the brand's Total Eye Renewal Therapy SPF 35, a three-in-one tinted eye cream that conceals dark circles, reduces puffiness, and protects the sensitive under-eyes from the sun with its SPF 35 formula. 

“This product allows me to streamline my eye routine because it is a treatment serum, mineral SPF for the eyes, and concealer all in one product. The cooling applicator feels amazing on tired eyes and it helps depuff and make me look like I got eight hours of rest, even after a red-eye.”

RoC Retinol Anti-Aging Wrinkle Night Serum

Dermatologist Dr. Sejal Shah (otherwise known as the @dermdoctor ) has accrued a massive following on TikTok thanks to his helpful skincare advice and tips. I’m one of his 18 million followers, and I recently came across a video of his where he recommends these genius retinol capsules from RoC that he dubs “perfect for travel.” 

He went on to explain that you only need to use one capsule at night and that the formula is packed with incredibly potent anti-aging ingredients (retinol is great for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, dark spots, and more). They're also incredibly travel-friendly as well. Snag a pack for half off at Amazon.

Mrsdry Travel Toiletry Bottles

Stocking up on travel-sized versions of your favorite products is undoubtedly convenient if you’re packing for a last-minute trip, but if you want to save money and space, Dr. Shah also urged viewers to purchase travel toiletry bottles or pouches to fill up with their go-to products. 

If you have sensitive skin and like to stick to a routine, this is a smart way to get the most out of your trip, and products. Plus, this specific set from Mrsdry is on sale for just $8 today if you want to kickstart curating your perfect travel skincare regime. 

Mirabella Defense CC Cream

Licensed aesthetician Serynne Evans Atwell, who is an in-house aesthetician and education lead at Mirabella , recommends paying extra close attention to your skin during transitional seasons and times when it's put under stress (particularly during travel). As such, she recommends packing Mirabella's Defense CC Crème Foundation because it's a true “M.V.P. skincare and makeup essential for pulling double duty while traveling.” 

She went on to explain, "Infused with skin-loving ingredients, this multitasking wonder not only perfects and renews the skin's appearance but also provides mineral-based sun protection equivalent to SPF 20, guarding against harmful UV rays. As you apply, vitamin E beads burst onto the skin, imparting a luxurious feel and creamy consistency that blends effortlessly to a natural finish." Other key ingredients include bamboo extract, lavender, avocado oil, and rosemary to soothe, moisturize, and protect the skin, while salicylic acid keeps oil and breakouts at bay.

These deals are un-burrito-ble.

National Burrito Day is today, Thursday, April 4 — and fast food restaurants are celebrating with offers for their customers.

The foodie holiday is a highlight of what’s known among the faithful as “burrito season,” which reportedly lasts from March through May and is the busiest time of the year for Mexican food consumption, Chipotle previously told Business Insider .

A spokesperson for the fresh fast casual brand told BI they see their highest sales volume in the spring thanks to “weather and daylight.” The burrito-specific reason this phenomenon doesn’t continue into summer is because the many chain restaurants near colleges and universities don’t do as well when the academic year is over.

But for now, with the season at its height, take some time to enjoy this year’s National Burrito Day deals.

Moe’s Southwest Grill

Moe’s is offering BOGO burritos or bowls for the national holiday.

Customers can buy one burrito or bowl and receive a burrito or bowl “of equal or lesser value” for free.

Add-ons, extras, premium proteins, taxes, fees and catering are excluded, the restaurant clarified .

Also, Moe’s will be hosting a giveaway where 100 winners will get a free burrito each week for 52 weeks.

To win, check in on your Moe’s Rewards account starting at 10 a.m. ET on Thursday by scanning to earn or redeem, placing an order in the app or scanning a receipt. Non-reward members can also enter on Instagram or Facebook.

Customers who order online or through the Baja Fresh app can get BOGO burritos.

The deal is for rewards members, so anyone with a Club Baja Rewards account can use coupon code BURRITO2024 at checkout for the offer.

Qdoba’s Burrito Day deal is also exclusive to rewards members, and the fast-food restaurant wants you to “have a flavor-packed celebration with a BFF (Burrito For FREE).”

Those who purchase an entrée and a drink either in-restaurant or online will receive a free burrito.

Taco Bell has a wide range of deals for National Burrito Day.

Exclusive to the Taco Bell app, buy a burrito and get 50% off a burrito of equal or lesser value.

The fast-food chain is offering deals through delivery apps, too. You can get $5 off DoorDash delivery orders of $20+ when you buy a burrito. Additionally, get a free burrito on orders for delivery of $22+ on Grubhub.

On Uber Eats or Postmates, customers can buy a Beefy 5-Layer Burrito and get one free on delivery orders.

For National Burrito Day, Chipotle is offering a $0 delivery fee to all Chipotle Rewards members ordering online or through the Chipotle app with code DELIVER.

Prior to the foodie holiday, on April 2 and 3, Chipotle launched a new interactive game called Burrito Vault that gave away 100,000 BOGO free entrée codes to be redeemed exclusively on National Burrito Day.

If you were one of the lucky 50,000 fans to successfully decipher the Burrito Vault code, your code is redeemable today only.

Additionally, anyone who played and correctly guessed the code was automatically entered into Chipotle’s National Burrito Day sweepstakes, where 53 fans will be randomly selected to win free burritos for a year, according to a news release .

Dos Toros Taqueria

Dos Toros Taqueria is celebrating National Burrito Day by offering $5 burritos when customers sign into their rewards account via the Dos Toros app or on the Dos Toros website .

Also, customers can get a 15% off of a burrito box for guests catering needs by using the code BURRITOBOX at checkout before April 6.

Bubbakoo’s Burritos

Bubbakoo’s Burritos is offering loyalty membes a BOGO burrito deal at all locations nationwide only on April 4 for National Burrito Day — but the second burrito is to be saved for later.

Once the burrito fan purchases a regular full-price burrito, a coupon will be automatically delivered to the customer’s loyal count to redeem a free burrito at a later date.
