Alex Cooper is one very happy newlywed.

Speaking exclusively with PEOPLE at Media Row in New Orleans, La., theCall Her Daddypodcast host, 30, opened up about her relationship with husbandMatt Kaplanand how the two have kept their “newlywed glow” during their first year of marriage.

“Matt and I have at least weekly whiskey and hot tub nights,” she revealed as the secret to keeping their spark alive. “We get naked, go in the hot tub for like literally an hour until we turn into prunes, and we drink in the hot tub. And it really is the best way to end a day.”

“Even if we’ve had the most stressful day, that’s usually the moments where we’re like, ‘Hot tub?’” Cooper said. “And we literally just walk across our yard naked.”

She noted that they often get in the tub with their dogs, and “sometimes” they have snacks too. Cooper joked that she doesn’t need a vacation to relax, because, “My backyard’s my sanctuary and I love my hot tub.”

Back in December, Cooper, who also launched herUnwell Hydrationbeverage line, told PEOPLEher advicefor other people looking to start a business. “My advice to everyone that is trying to start businesses is don’t get sidetracked," she said. “Don’t try to appease everyone. Don’t try to do a million things at once.”

“If you focus on the one thing that you are educated on, and you are essentially a savant in, then just focus on that and trust your gut because trying to appease everyone is not going to get you anywhere,” she said.
