ECO-FRIENDLY JEWELRY
With a hint of the primitive and exotic, the Passionate Collector's tiger-striped ring is made from rosewood and brushed sterling silver. Hand-carved on the island of Bali, it makes a bold, yet classic statement and it's so comfortable.

SEXY HOT SPOT
submitted by Sean in Newport Beach
Tucked away behind the old Port Theatre in Corona del Mar lies my favorite sexy hot spot "Port Restaurant/Bar". The food is mouth watering and the vibe is truly European. Beautiful people, exotic libations and amazing food. Friday nights are hot! 440 Heliotrope AVe, CDM, 92625 949.723.9685

DELICIOUS EXOTIC HEALTHY EATS
submitted by Clarissa in Tustin
I eat here an embarrassing number of times a week. I can't get enough of the Malaysian stir-fried Chinese water grass with shrimp chili sauce and sliced chicken (belachan kangkung with chicken) and a hot bowl of rice. (It's not on the menu, but you can order it anyway.) I leave feeling light and healthy and full, and I credit this place with keeping me trim yet my stomach happy. Right next to Zov's Bistro in Tustin, just off the 17th St. exit of the 55 Freeway. 17460 E. 17th St.,Tustin, 714.505.9908
