Lifestyle Letter

February 2023 PUBLISHER

Cody Sturma | cody.sturma@citylifestyle.com EDITOR

Allison Bankston | allison.bankston@citylifestyle.com

I don’t know about you, but this time of year I am always torn. I find myself torn between resisting the commercialization of another greeting card holiday and indulging in all the sweet excuses to enjoy the season.

To do a Valentine’s Day date out or enjoy a cozy night at home? To buy a card or just say a kind word? I usually land somewhere a little in between.

We’ll each arrive at different answers based on our preferences and personalities, but what we hold in common is an opportunity to make sure those around us know we love them. And regardless of how you choose to celebrate, we hope the pages of this month’s magazine will help you do just that as we celebrate and highlight what’s to love in your local community.

While we embrace these winter months, take this time to just live in the moment. We often hurry through our days not realizing that these moments...even right now...will soon also become a memory. We hope you’ll be inspired to take a moment to come together with the people in your life--the ones in your home and on your street, in your neighborhood and your community, because like a memory of reading this, they will remember their moment with you!

“Love local” means your local businesses and those in your community, but it also means loving what is near, including those under your own roof.

We've always believed we can do so much more together as part of our community. We continue to see that demonstrated through the many stories told in these pages month after month. This month, we also recognize our Reader’s Choice winners! These are the businesses, organizations, and professional individuals who have fostered great relationships with their clients and customers and have provided exemplary customer service. Thank you to everyone who submitted nominations and to those who voted.

Thanks for letting us be a part of the life you’re building and enjoying, whatever that may look like. Our hope is that we inspire you to love our community even more than you did before.

Happy February!

These unique keepsakes enhance both our personal and professional lives, and Crown Trophy in Arvada is here to provide them with a distinctly individualized touch.

Nowadays, product engraving is available online from corporate giants like Amazon.

However, ordering online from a massive seller can have significant limitations. Some sites offer a limited amount of fonts or design options which does not allow for the personal attention and artistry that Crown Trophy prides itself on providing. “We're able to really sit down with our clients, design exactly what they're looking to do, and take pride in our artwork and our quality,” owner Marshall Movius says.

Marshall has been in the business for decades.

When Marshall was nine years old, his father began a Crown Trophy business out of their garage in Highlands Ranch. Then they opened the first shop in Littleton. Growing up, Marshall

would work with engraved plates to earn his privilege to watch The Simpsons. Marshall branched Crown Trophy out to Arvada in 2009. Now, he’s been in the business over three-quarters of his life and is continuing to serve the community with artfully engraved products.

Don’t let the name fool you; Crown Trophy offers far more than just a wide array of trophies.

Whether you need wedding wine glasses or personalized desk accessories, they provide a solution to nearly every engraving need.

For corporate products, Crown Trophy creates custom name tags, plaques, drinkware, awards, and more. Individuals and families can enjoy products like personalized cutting boards, ornaments, picture frames, and even deeply personal items like memorials. “People are just blown away with some of the products that we're able to create for them,” Marshall says. Next holiday, consider celebrating and appreciating your loved ones with a thoughtful engraved gift. For an anniversary or Valentine’s Day, a custom frame with a personal engraving is the perfect memento to display a photo of you and your partner. For Father’s Day, a custom glass set is great for whiskey or beer-loving dads.

If you are looking for an award, Crown Trophy offers a huge range of types and designs. They have championship cups, specialty sculpture awards, plaques, belts, rings, and other options.

The staff at Crown Trophy guides you through the product design process to make your vision a tangible reality. Interacting with real experts in the field allows you to customize and adjust your design to fit exactly what you’re looking for, which is far more difficult to accomplish while using an online service. “What someone is envisioning in their mind is sometimes difficult

to convey to a computer or to a website,” Marshall explains. “We really want to make sure that our customers are happy,” he adds.

Recently, the business has noticed a sharp increase in corporations requesting engraved products for employees. Perhaps the COVID19 pandemic inspired companies to up incentives in order to retain new hires, or maybe the spirit of giving is in the air. Either way, receiving a Yeti tumbler with your company logo or a custom name tag is a welcome surprise for any employee.

Crown Trophy’s mission is genuine and customer-centric. Marshall aims to have customers come back happy and satisfied with their orders. “Getting those kinds of responses really allows us to feel good at what we're doing,” he says. Their services allow them to flex creatively and express artistry while crafting unique products designed to be cherished.

If you’re looking to order a special gift, something practical, or anything in between, visit Crown Trophy at 6680 Wadsworth Boulevard in Arvada. Pay a visit to their site at crowntrophy.com to learn more.

Artist Profile Talia Swartz Parsell

ARTICLE BY ALLISON BANKSTON | PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED BY TALIA SWARTZ PARSELL

Talia Swartz Parsell has been making art her entire life.

“I have four sisters, and growing up, we all attached to something. Art was my world.”

With roots in the midwest, Talia describes her art as abstract geometric landscapes with bold, vibrant colors and what she calls a simplified view. Don't let that uncluttered perspective deceive you into thinking her pieces are not complex in their structure, and they certainly are not simplistic in the emotions and reactions they conjure in people. “I think about how can I reduce it to the most important elements," she says.

"Getting rid of the noise makes it ubiquitous to people, allowing a deeper connection.”

Her work has developed over time. Early on, a teacher noticed Talia's natural talents and encouraged her. As a teenager, one of her paintings was selected for the Ohio Governor's Award, and that piece lived in the governor's mansion for a while. She considers that her first introduction into the art world.

Talia did geometric landscapes in the past but then taught elementary school art classes and went on to get her master's degree in art and painting at Adams CONTINUED >

“My paintings are about moments in my life, dreams I’ve had, things I’ve imagined, feelings evoked through music or poetry, places I’ve been, and things I’m healing from.” -Talia Swartz Parsell

State University in Colorado. During her schooling, she got away from the simplified landscapes, but over time, she came to realize that specific perspective is part of who she is. “I love the clean design and lines. I'm meticulous, and now I'm embracing the fact that that's part of me. That's how I rearrange landscapes in my brain.”

The local artist has been represented

by Westward Gallery in Denver for a few years. The gallery gave Talia her first solo show last summer. She's also done several murals in the area including ones at Denver Center for International Studies, Piffs Pizza Place in Lakewood, and two murals in Edwards on the Riverwalk. Most of her mural work has been done in conjunction with fellow artists Katy Casper and Grow Love. Talia has done several murals on her own, including one in Kaiser Permanente Hospital in Colorado Springs, the Olde Town Arvada street mural, and a mural at Redline Contemporary Art Center in Denver.

The artist's lifestyle comes with a lot of ups and downs and requires a willingness to hustle. “It's a constant matter of where my next project will be while wearing lots of other hats--teaching classes, being your own social media manager, and handling the day-to-day life responsibilities as a mother at the same time.” Talia says it takes an organized person who is driven to make it work while not losing the passion

A RT IST ’S PA LE T T E | A RTS + CULTURE

that got you into the artistic field in the first place. “Seeing something you created hanging on a wall or hearing that your work really resonates with someone... it's everything.” She loves doing mural work because of its broad reach. “Only a small percentage of the population is going to visit a gallery and see your work, but murals are for everyone and community-focused.”

Talia's parents are her biggest inspiration. “My parents both faced so much adversity in life, and they both still followed career paths that developed into passions. Any parents who are out there trying to do their passions while raising kids are amazing and inspiring to me. It also teaches kids you can be successful doing what you truly love, if you work really hard and accept that the path is not always linear."

In describing her art, Talia says, “My paintings are about moments in my life, dreams I've had, things I've imagined, feelings evoked through music or poetry, places I've been, and things I'm healing from. My paintings are very personal.

My approach is very personal.” Talia's love of the environment and the beauty of nature is present in all her work. She hopes the layers of experienced moments, dreams, and ideas come through and that through seeing her work, others may create their own new, lasting memories.

Business Owner Profile FIVE PARKS WINE AND SPIRITS

Adnan and Umbreen Shafeeq and their family became the owners of Five Parks Wine and Spirits at The Square at Five Parks on December 1. Adnan's family previously owned Five Star Liquors off 64th and Wadsworth in Arvada. Adnan has a long history in the business and understands the needs of the community. He also actively helped his brother-in-law with his liquor store, Fizzies Wine and Spirits in Wichita, Kansas, so he has considerable experience in the industry.

“My family has a long history in Arvada,” says Adnan. “We're here for Arvada, for the community, and it was a blessing to know we'd be coming back to being business owners in the community again.”

Adnan says they strive to be knowledgeable and to help guide their customers to the best choices for them while offering great customer service. They're looking forward to serving the community for years to come.

ELEVATE YOUR CLOSET

3 WAY S T O O R G A N I Z E A N D

Every woman dreams of an organized and beautiful closet space, but it often comes last on the list of places that get their time and attention. Follow our three tips for transforming and elevating your closet as you Spring clean and declutter for a more peaceful, inspired space you absolutely love.

A sneak peek inside the closet of active mom and entrepreneur Keri Tarantino of Leawood, KS reveals a dressing room that rivals celebrity homes in Beverly Hills. But it didn’t come easily. Keri painstakingly planned, designed and curated the space with care.

When we first stepped inside, we gasped as our eyes beheld the glory. No detail went unnoticed in this dreamy dressing room. Here are some guiding principles that can be drawn from her exquisite taste and vision. How you organize your closet will of course differ based on the size of your space, the size of your wardrobe, and the kind of life you lead. But applying the guidelines Keri used in her space will result in a much more organized and aesthetically pleasing space.

1. USE REAL ESTATE WISELY Reserve the front and middle of the closet for clothes worn most often. For someone who gets dressed for work each morning at 6 a.m., work clothes should be at the front of the closet. Store lesser-worn items like formal wear and out-of-season clothes toward the back and on the upper shelves. The large mirror and counter with chair provides the perfect spot to select jewelry and finalize finishing outfit touches. While every closet is different, the key here is everything has a home.

2. ORGANIZE BY KIND AND COLOR Group clothes by kind first and color second. This ensures quick location of that favorite shirt when it’s needed.

Bonus - it’s easy on the eye. Group like with like: Gather belts, sweaters, long-sleeve shirts, work pants, dresses, button-down shirts, jeans, shorts, etc., and decide the best place to store each item as a group (e.g., hang pants in the closet, fold and stack sweaters in a bureau). Working with groupings will help you figure out how much space you need and the best way to store each type of item.
