Our June issue makes my heart sing. We’re celebrating local creators, innovators and makers in our community who are making the world a little bit better (and brighter!) through their artistry, imagination and boldness. And let me tell you, these people are my jam. It never ceases to amaze me how you can take an idea that forms in your head, play with it and then go off and create it. Sometimes you can hold that idea in your hand (jewelry) or look at it on the wall (art), walk through it (architecture), taste it (food) or wear it (clothing). Does it get any cooler than that? Have you ever heard the saying by Theodore Levitt, “Creativity is thinking up new things. Innovation is doing new things”? Great creators are what keep this town humming. Whether that’s a building, skincare product, landscape, drink, condiment or stunning accessory, we’re spotlighting people who are dreaming things up and making them happen. We hope the pages to come help unlock your own personal creativity. Stay curious,

Vanessa Barcus Describes The Intentionality Behind Her Pieces, and How She Evolves As A Person As Her Collections Do

I NSP IR E D BY | STY L E + BE AUTY

TIME

Vanessa Barcus, designer and owner of Talisman Fine Jewerly, has sculpture inherently imbedded in all that she does. Her wearable art is inspired to be sustainable and minimalistic, as her Denver-based jewelry boutique showcases collections near and dear to her heart. Drawing inspiration from her “hippie” Boulder upbringing in the 80’s, to people, music and places, Vanessa’s eco-friendly and made-to-order jewelry serves as a conduit for the passing of energy and ideas.

Tell us a bit about Talisman. Talisman Fine Jewelry is my collection of sculptural, heirloom jewelry, which is handmade in recycled 14K gold. The idea for Talisman really started back when I owned a boutique in Denver, called Goldyn. We sold a lot of fine jewelry at the store, in addition to sustainable and forward-thinking designer apparel, and eventually, it just made sense to do our own in-house line. How has sculpture influenced your pieces? I love the tactile nature of sculpture as an art form. My mother’s late first husband was a sculptor (Boulder-based artist Kim Field), and I grew up with his work and others’ around in the house. Perhaps that’s why it’s inherently imbued in what I do. I really see jewelry as just a smaller-scale, wearable version of sculpture when it’s done right. What sparked your interest in the jewelry industry? What makes Talisman unique? I see apparel and jewelry as sacred adornment. I think my mom instilled that in me. It’s how we communicate who we are, or who we want to be, to the outside world. I believe it’s one of the most important mediums for personal expression, and at times can even be armor. Jewelry, in particular, interests me because it has a timeless nature that can transcend trends, and almost always has some significance attached to it.

Although the Talisman Fine Jewelry collection is meant to include classic, everyday staples, it is definitely anything but “basic.” My signature aesthetic balances organic, wabi-sabi style, with clean, minimalist lines…perfectly, subtly imperfect.

Tell us a bit about your upbringing in Boulder—how has the Boulder community shaped some of your work? I am definitely a Boulder kid, I’ll put it that way. My parents were both hippies, who came to Boulder in the 60s and 70s, respectively. My mom’s first place here was a cabin with no running water up Fourmile Canyon! Spirituality, art, activism and healthy living were a part of my life from day one. Now I value it more than ever. What goes into creating sustainable jewelry? Why is sustainability important to your process? In my opinion, if it’s not sustainable at this point in time, it’s not worth talking about. I don’t want to put new objects out into the world that create more waste or do something that is damaging to the planet. I go by the philosophy of “as you know better, do better.” I work with recycled metals and ethically-sourced or reclaimed stones. I hand-make all of my pieces using old-school techniques, and I always try to source responsibly when I do buy components. It’s why I work with solid gold in general; I want to make pieces that will be cherished for generations. CONTINUED > JUNE 2 0 2 2 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C O M / BO UL D E R

What is your vision, or goal, for Talisman in the long term? Although I’ve been doing this since 2015, in my mind, Talisman is really still in its infancy with endless opportunities ahead. As Talisman’s retailer base expands, I envision getting to travel to beautiful destinations with the brand, meeting more inspiring people. Equally important is the fact that the more the collection expands, the more I’m able to take creative risks and really define who I am as an artist. I want to really step into that artist self, hone my craft and aesthetic. I evolve as the collection evolves, growing more and more into a better version of myself. That’s always the real goal, isn’t it? TalismanFineJewelry.co

Imagine if you could bottle sunshine, happiness and positive vibes and harness it into glass beads…then you’d have the makings of Lawn Party, a bespoke jewelry brand based out of Boulder, founded by Julie Fuller. Lawn Party jewelry consists of unique, colorful, oneof-a-kind vintage glass beaded pieces all made in the hopes “to make other’s eyes light up with color.” Julie says the fun behind her company’s name evokes a “joyous laidback vibe.” While most of her work is comprised of unique necklaces, there are also sunglass chains, bracelets and anklets available. With new creations released weekly, every wearable piece is different. Her necklaces and bracelets are meant to be worn solo or layered; sometimes she mixes in 14K gold-filled chains and vintage sequins. The quality of her creations shows in her five-star average ratings on Etsy with happy customers gushing their praises—most being repeat customers. “I truly get excited anytime I see anyone wearing a piece of mine. I love seeing how people style their piece and make it their very own,” Julie says. We take a moment to hear what life is like as a jewelry creator and how the past few years have fine-tuned her work.

M AK E R’S ST U D IO | A RTS + CULTURE

Do you listen to anything while you create, like music or podcasts? If I am photographing and editing photos, I am listening to music. My Spotify playlists are all over the place. This winter and spring I was listening to a lot of Erykah Badu, Poolside, Santigold, Harry Styles and Billie Eilish. When I am creating pieces, I am usually binge-watching something, and I listen to podcasts when I am shipping out orders. I listen to a lot of True Crime, then some music podcasts like Broken Record and The Fader, and I’ll mix in some light and fluffy celebrity podcasts. How has your work evolved over the past few years? I know it’s been a wild ride with the pandemic for all of us. I have made jewelry on and off for a long time, but it was not something I ever really focused on. Then towards the end of 2020, I was realizing I needed something creative to focus on and a place to put that creative energy that I had put on hold. Starting out, I really only knew three things I wanted these pieces to be. I wanted each piece to be one of a kind. Something you can pick out, fall in love with it, and know that you are the only person with that piece of jewelry. To me, there is something really special about that.

“Vintage clothing is my love language. I live in vintage denim and vintage t-shirts and wanted to make pieces that would mix well with other vintage or be worn with anything else.” I had realized that during 2020, color had brought me comfort. I wanted to be surrounded by it and I also wanted to be wearing it. So I knew I wanted to play a lot with color, and the mixing of colors. Now I am constantly looking for amazing color combos anywhere I go. Whether it is a mix of colors that was thoughtfully planned out or some random colors that happen to be next to each other out in nature or on a building or something. I also knew that I wanted to only use vintage beads. Vintage clothing is my love language. I live in vintage denim and vintage t-shirts and wanted to make pieces that would mix well with other vintage or be worn with anything else. Are any exciting things in the works for the coming months? I have a collaboration that I am currently working on that I am really excited for. It is something I haven’t tried before with beads so I am excited to see how it turns out and how it's received. Etsy.com/Shop/LawnParty IG @LawnParty

Spotlight on a Comprehensive Outdoor Living and Landscaping Project by RSL Outdoor

When it comes to creating ideal outdoor living spaces for his clients, John Herron’s goal is not that each of his projects be easily discernable because of a signature, go-to or overarching style. As the general manager of local landscaping design/build firm RSL Outdoor, he says that it’s all about designing spaces that truly speak to the clients’ own distinct personalities, preferences and goals. “Every project that we do is unique and specific to that client and space,” says John. “Our goal at RSL Outdoor is to create partnerships in which our creativity and professionalism help our clients realize the potential of their spaces.” For one recent project, John and the RSL Outdoor team helped a local client completely transform the outdoor spaces surrounding their home—a sweeping outdoor living and landscape design and build initiative that would maximize the area’s function and match the style and stature of the residence. “This was a massive project, going from bare dirt to completed total landscape,” says John. “Every element had to work with the homeowners’ aesthetic of an upscale, sophisticated outdoor living area, while also complementing the architecture of the house and working seamlessly in flow and function.”

Beginning with a complete master plan of the property, the RSL Outdoor team designed an extensive outdoor living space complete with a pool that includes a tranquil water feature, a hot tub, an outdoor kitchen with a bar area, walls for seating and a fire pit to facilitate both lively gatherings of friends and family as well as quiet everyday relaxation. The project also involved softening these elements with eye-catching boulder work and a variety of plantings throughout the landscape, including grasses, roses and evergreens for a dually sophisticated and traditional Colorado feel. These luxurious project features are further elevated through the incorporation of a series of unique natural materials. Sleek granite countertops line the various elements of the outdoor kitchen and dining area. The cut stone for all of the vertical cladding seamlessly links the space to the home’s grand exterior. John notes that the sprawling 1,000-square-foot patio space is particularly notable both in its design and its execution. “The flagstone patio is probably the most unique material used in the project,” says John. “Each piece of stone was hand-cut to make the placements all look random in the layout. But each and every piece was carefully planned

“Our goal at RSL Outdoor is to create

partnerships in which our creativity and professionalism help our clients realize the potential of their spaces.”

to also keep the joints looking tight and clean. We do fewer patios these days using stone, and so it’s a product that has become more distinct.” As a whole, the project is a sterling example of the balance of thoughtfully incorporating the best products, materials and layout to create a lush, luxurious outdoor living space and landscape that fulfills the goals of the homeowners. “It may sound cliché, but my favorite thing about this project is how happy the client is with the end product,” says John. “These spaces aren’t ours, they’re our clients’. So the most important thing is that our designs are ideally suited to them.”

OF THE BRAND

NOW OP E N | FOOD + BEVE RAGE

Dedalus, Boulder's newest wine store, was born as a passion project out of the backroom of an IT business in Burlington, Vermont. You may be familiar with Dedalus, as it recently took over Cured, a specialty wine and food store located at 1825 Pearl St. Although the iconic storefront is under a new name, that doesn’t mean guests won’t find delicious wines and hand-selected food and cheese offerings. They will also find community. “Dedalus is a more wine-focused business than Cured, but that doesn’t mean that the cheese counter or market are going anywhere,” says Ashley Bryant, chief marketing officer at Dedalus. “The shop on Pearl will continue to operate as a market, wine shop and full-service cheese counter. Dedalus will still offer sandwiches using our beautiful charcuterie, cheese and new local bread.” The idea for Dedalus came about after founder Jason Zuliani had difficulty finding good wine in Vermont. So he turned his passion into a tiny bottle shop in the backroom of his IT business. A few years later, Jason jumped into the wine business full-time, and he hasn’t looked back since. Today, Dedalus has two shops in Vermont and now one in Boulder. After meeting Will and Coral Frischkorn, the owners of Cured, Ashley says the similarities between Cured and Dedalus were clear and made the transition into new ownership seamless. “They started Cured for the same reason Jason started Dedalus—to bring people closer to the producers and products they fell in love with. Their passion for small producers, for wine and for beautiful food was palpable,” Ashley says. “Their connection to the community was clear

as soon as you stepped through the door; it felt so familiar. It is the same energy people feel when they walk into our shop in Burlington. We both want to connect people with good food and good wine.” What makes Dedalus unique is its focus on making wine accessible and bringing consumers closer to the vintners who make it. The shop also places an emphasis on sustainable wines because some of the best winemakers use organic, biodynamic and sustainable practices. Why, you might ask? Because the winemakers live on the land in which they grow their grapes and produce their wine. “Their food grows in the valleys beneath the vines. It is not a trend or a marketing strategy for these farmers/winemakers. It is a way of life, a philosophy,” Ashley says. “It’s a way of respecting the land and future generations. And to be completely honest, it is the best way to get the purest expression of the grape into the bottle.” Dedalus will bring new wines from regions around the world, ranging from Burgundy and Champagne to Alsace and Friuli, to our local community. “By bringing home a beautiful bottle of wine from Galicia, a tin of octopus, some Piparra peppers and crusty bread, you are able to experience far-off places in your own home. This is why we do what we do,” Ashley says. Dedalus will also offer weekly wine tastings and monthly classes. Ashley says they also hope to eventually have a larger wine shop in Boulder—the current space

is only 200 square feet—and a wine bar for people to gather and share stories over food and wine. While their purpose is to bring people closer to the maker, it's also to bring people closer to each other—to create connections and community and unforgettable evenings. “We are on the precipice in the U.S. of something really exciting in the wine world—establishing our own wine culture. Sometimes all it takes is one glass or bottle and a lightbulb goes off. It makes you want to learn more, drink more, explore more. At Dedalus, we want to be the people that help guide you on that journey, to turn you on to new and beautiful things,” Ashley says. “We want to bring you closer to the people who create the products we love.”

Painting From Life REMINGTON ROBINSON FINDS HIS NICHE ARTICLE BY ADAM PERRY | PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF THE ARTIST

Boulder painter Remington Robinson, a Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design graduate, has lived here for almost 20 years, but our stunning setting still inspires him regularly. "The rock formations and the mountains are always fun to paint, either up close or from far away,” he says. “When you have atmosphere involved—if there is weather—that’s always fun to do paintings of. Maybe some days there is snow or rain, or light shining through the atmosphere. Something about the mountains is always fun to paint, but then there’s all the different subject matter within town that has nothing to do with the mountains.” Robinson has diverse talents and experience, from ultra-realist paintings that look like photographs to giant mural projects, but in recent years he has focused on gorgeous pleinair paintings inside Altoid tins— setting up somewhere intriguing and “painting from life.” He says he has fun doing them, in Boulder and while traveling, and their popularity never seems to stop growing. “I always kind of knew that it was smart to have a niche, but I

LOCA LS ON LY | A RTS + CULTURE

didn’t know what my niche was going to be. I struggled for a lot of years, and I remember learning maybe 15 years ago that it’s smart to have a niche, and about eight years ago my brother turned me on to a book by Robert Greene called Mastery. I think that was where I heard that the more specialized you can be, the more indispensable you are, the more you’re able to market yourself and be a specialist in your field.” Remington continues, “One of the important points is that your niche doesn’t land in your lap. It takes a lot of hard work to achieve.” Remington’s Instagram account is also a huge success, and he doesn’t hesitate when asked if he has any simple advice for aspiring—or just relatively unknown— artists who want to expand their presence online. “For me, it was partly ‘right place, right time,’” he asserts. “But there are a lot of different techniques you can do. One, have a consistent feed showing what you do, not a bunch of other things. When people follow you, they’re signing up to see your stuff. Another thing is posting at the right time,

like when people open their phones in the morning, maybe while eating breakfast. So before work, but definitely right after work too.” Remington seems like he could teach artists a class on social media, but he also doesn’t take it so seriously he’s lost sight of what he really loves: making art. “I try not to feel that pressure, because it doesn’t feel good. It’s like you’re living your life as a slave to posting, which is kind of dumb. But in a way, if that’s how you’re trying to make your living, it’s part of your job.” An Ohio native, Remington has impressively made his passion his real job, and is glad to

hear from fledgling plein-air painters in Boulder who’ve taken his lead. “People have sent me messages telling me that I’m inspiring them,” he says, noting that he considers quitting drinking to be a major part of why his career blossomed. “It’s about being prolific, and staying focused, you know? I couldn’t really do that when I was drinking. But I feel like I have a lot of improvement that I need to make. I feel like I still have a lot of work to do. If you feel like you’ve made it to the top and there’s nowhere else to go, then you might have a disorder or something.”

Focusing On What The Work Says, Not The Material Erica Green Would Love To Sit and Dream Up Places Where Her Art Could Live; for Now, It’s at BMoCA

Focusing on the “seemingly unending process of repairing and rebuilding one’s self,” Boulder local artist Erica Green works using a range of materials that speak to the themes of mending and repair. After receiving her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree and moving to Boulder from the Midwest, Erica taught high school art for 10 years while simultaneously completing a two-year post baccalaureate program in ceramics at CU Boulder. Erica and her husband have lived in Boulder for nearly 20 years because of its unique community and close proximity to running trails. “When I need to think about the work I’m making in my studio, or just step away to not think about it, going on a trail run or hike is crucial to my process. It usually puts things into perspective.” Although her academic background is in ceramics and ceramic sculpture, she eventually began to integrate fibers into her ceramic work while studying at

CU Boulder. She explains how she eventually dropped clay entirely to focus on textiles, with a push coming from one of her professors. “The professor asked me, ‘Why are you focusing on ceramics when you clearly are drawn more to textiles?’ That was when I began to focus more on what the work is saying, not the material. Sewing techniques and materials are a natural fit. My work now uses a range of materials that speak to themes of mending and repair, such as fibers, sewing pins, clay, staples, tape and nails.” While building a custom piece for a Denver musician’s ceiling in his home audio studio, Erica found her current favorite piece to work with. The thick industrial wool felt she used had both fascinating sound-damping qualities as well as a manageable feel. “It is really lovely to work with because it is soft and pliable, but also strong enough to show the delicate nature of my work. I enjoy how my work dampens the sound and calms whatever space it is in—I believe this adds to the simplicity and meditative qualities of it.”

As a self-described “site-specific artist,” Erica enters each art site with the mission of finding the most unique part of the space and honing in on that. “I love to create intimate areas where people can experience their surroundings in a new or different way. While some artists might find certain gallery spaces too quirky, my work seems to shine in those environments.” The sites her art will live in are her biggest source of inspiration for the pieces. She conducts several site visits, takes videos and notes and draws out plans in her sketchbook. “To me, it’s magic when my work and the architecture go hand in hand.” Erica’s art reflects how mending, repairing and rebuilding oneself is a continuous process that can take on different meanings throughout life. As a former soccer player, her art has been a metaphor for physical healings from surgeries, or as a mother, recovering from childbirth. During other times, it takes a more meditative approach—keeping hands busy knotting fibers while time passes, as it does for us all. “Making art is deeply embedded in me. I couldn’t stop if I wanted to.” Erica’s solo show on display at Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, ‘Once They Were Red,’ explores the ideas of mending and repair using fibers, as well as the idea of time by using gradient as a metaphor. Her art strives to find the balance of undertakings in humanity—strong and fragile, messy and disciplined, heavy and light. Erica aims to bring comfort through her art in these moments. “My work is a visual reminder that all of life’s moments come and go. The comfort comes from recognizing, accepting and eventually celebrating this fact.” ‘Once They Were Red’ is up at BMoCA currently, and running until June 12.

An esthetician for over a decade, Shelby Gray takes a small glass bottle’s dropper between her fingers and squeezes facial oil into her palms every morning. She closes her eyes, deeply breathing in the oil’s calming scent before applying it to her cheeks, forehead, neck and décolleté. Grounding yourself in the tactile feel and smell of a daily and nightly skincare routine can serve as a comforting self-care reminder. In the hectic nature of everyday life, especially during a years-long global pandemic, the pleasure of rituals has become more meaningful than ever. Shelby created Beaux Supply Co. two years ago out of her Boulder-based oil lab. Her inspiration came from the inability to find a facial oil with the right consistency and beautiful scent that absorbed well into the skin but still left a dewy glow. When Shelby first started, she defined what effect she wanted from each product, perfected the smell, and created oils with all people, skin tones and textures in mind. Beaux Supply Co. combines organic essential oils and organic carrier oils with floral scents such as neroli and the earthiness of frankincense and helichrysum. Once Shelby completed her small-batch formula for facial and body oils, she passed out samples to her friends, who responded with rave reviews. Shelby says, “The intoxicating scent made applying the oil feel like a sacred ritual that, in turn, became a sensory experience each time for myself or when my friends used it.” Beaux Supply Co. products are made for various skin types, so every product has different results. Because they can be used in combination with other products, Shelby’s goal is for her oils to be a go-to supplement for skincare routines everywhere. “The whole purpose of oil is to protect your skin and lock moisture in,” Shelby says. Because

of this, she recommends applying facial oils after thinner serums and water-based lotions in your skincare routine. You can apply facial oil to protect your pores from makeup in the morning or use Beaux’s body oil directly in the bathtub for a bit of aromatherapy and hydration. Beaux’s Cast Away cleaning oil removes makeup, sunscreen or lingering dirt after a long day. Beaux Potion facial oil is age-defying, brightening and tightening skin to even out tone and repair cell damage for hydrated, glowing skin. No. 13 facial oil calms inflammation, reduces redness and heals skin. The Bright Eyes oil comes in a roller with the cooling effect of cucumber, plus coffee bean oil to improve circulation and antioxidants to lighten dark circles. It rebuilds collagen and elastin to tighten, reduce puffiness and hydrate undereye skin. Your senses can also choose between Daybreak body oil with a honey citrus and floral nose, or Dusk body oil’s notes of vetiver and sandalwood. Beaux Supply Co.’s products are newly available in Christina’s Luxuries boutique at 2425 Canyon Boulevard, and are soon coming to more area stores. You can order on BeauxSupplyCo.com or by messaging @beauxsupplyco on Instagram.

Texture, Material, and Firmness—Find the Perfect Mattress for a More Restorative Rest ARTICLE BY LIVIA HOOSON | ILLUSTRATIONS BY GINA DODGE

Optimize Your Sleep The average person spends over 200,000 hours in their lifetime sleeping, during which our bodies and minds are going through a vital process of restoration, recovery and detoxification. So it’s essential that we give ourselves the best possible environment to receive a quality night of rest with the goal to wake up refreshed and rested. Getting a great night of sleep is not guaranteed though, and there are many influential factors to consider. Everything from your mental health to the temperature of the room to the material you are sleeping on can greatly affect your rest. To learn more about the most common problems people have when it comes to falling asleep—and staying asleep—and how to find results-based solutions, we spoke with Alexa Williams, chief strategy officer of Urban Mattress, here in Boulder.

When you are in a deep sleep, you are actually moving through multiple Rapid Eye Movement (REM) cycles each night, which is when you get the best quality of rest. One major factor that can interrupt these cycles is not having the proper mattress, which can cause you to wake up throughout the night. “Sleep quality significantly impacts how we operate, perform and feel the following day,” says Alexa. “It's extremely important that those potential distractions have been eliminated as much as possible. The five main deterrents of quality sleep are pressure points, temperature irregularity, motion transfer from a partner, general lack of support and stress.” She says that our mattresses can also give us problems when they have just been around too long, losing their ability to support or provide pressure relief.

JUNE 2 0 2 2 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C O M / BO UL D E R

It could also be that the mattress was purchased without being tested, so it simply doesn’t offer the appropriate firmness, causing pain and restlessness. “With the different stressors of the last few years, it’s become increasingly important to customers that their mattress isn’t another point of stress in their lives,” she says. Now that storefronts are opening back up, Alexa is seeing a huge increase in customers seeking hands-on guidance in finding the right mattress for them. By using a European design and materials to target shoulder and hip pain, Urban Mattress utilizes a layering technique to lessen the efforts of the body, offering a supportive place for the entire form to rest. Side sleepers will perhaps notice this support the most, as this position can cause a lot of physical issues, but with the right mattress, their urge to toss and turn is minimized. For those sharing a bed with a restless partner, they offer motion isolating products so you don’t wake up with every turn your partner takes. Looking at the material of your mattress is also a key component. Urban Mattress opts for natural materials that cool the body down, like foam, latex and USDA-certified memory foam, while using significantly denser foams and coils that help maintain its longevity. “We use clean, non-toxic materials, so our customers can feel confident knowing they are sleeping on a mattress with natural fibers,” says Alexa. She recommends replacing an Urban Mattress every 12-15 years, which is actually very rare for contemporary mattress designs, with most traditional styles needing to be replaced every 5-8 years. Designed and manufactured in Colorado, Urban Mattress has 30 years of development and 100-night sleep trials so they can bring the best quality of sleep to the public. At the

H EA LT H Y LIF E ST Y LE | W E LLNE S S

Boulder and Denver showrooms, customers can expect face-to-face consultations where an Urban Mattress team member can observe their spinal alignment on the different mattresses and pillows to discover their perfect match. “Having a mattress that is expertly designed with zero pressure, heat or motion transfer is an incredible gift to our body,” says Alexa. Boulder.UrbanMattress.com

Tips and Tricks for a Better Night's Sleep If you are waking up with pain in the body or finding your arms are falling asleep frequently, you may be experiencing spinal discomfort at night. A well-trained sleep consultant can match a customer to a mattress that may help alleviate discomfort and take pressure off the body. Here’s what to look for: Side sleepers—a forgiving mattress that is a medium plush to a medium firmness level. Back sleepers—a mattress that fills in the curve of the lumbar yet is still supportive; medium to medium-firm. Stomach sleepers—a mattress that doesn’t arch the back; medium to medium-firm. Allergies and sensitivities—Look for natural fibers like wool or bamboo.

Find the Perfect Pillow The proper height of a pillow is important and will be based on each individual’s spine and past injuries. Take an adjustable pillow to the chiropractor to have it fitted for your needs.

IRREVERENT TEA Like many, Boulder couple Darcie Shively and John Kieselhorst found themselves drinking a lot more tea while at home during the pandemic. Pretty quickly, the dissonance between the tea’s zen branding and the zeitgeist set in. “We’d be drinking these teas and reading the labels on them, and it would just be all this zen stuff while the world was really falling apart around you,” Darcie explains. “And we were just laughing as we were reading them because it’s so ludicrous. It was like, ‘Yes, I can feel what you’re saying…but not really at all.’” So they set out to make a tea brand that lightened things up a bit. Enter: Irreverent Tea. The couple worked with an award-winning formulator in Amelia Island, Florida to execute one-of-a-kind concepts, which launched last fall. Darcie and John share a background working at advertising agencies and handled the branding and packaging design themselves. Currently, the brand offers six classic flavors but each with their own twist.

For example, the nighttime tea, “Joyride,” boasts a dream-inducing mix of chamomile and valerian to encourage lucid dreaming. The green tea, “Awoke,” is actually blue, thanks to butterfly pea, but turns purple when you add lemon. "Part of This Nutritious Breakfast Tea" boasts notes of coffee, so as Darcie puts it, “You don’t have to choose.” “I think we just want to infuse a little bit more fun in the world again and help people take themselves a little less seriously. I just feel like people are very hard on themselves now in a way that I don’t remember people being growing up," she says. "We just want to try to help people take better care of their health, but have fun while doing it.” The teas are available locally at Cedar & Hyde, Lucky’s Bakehouse Café, Boulder Wine Merchant, Peppercorn and Dedalus, as well as on Amazon.com.

BONA COFFEE To Andre Di Bonaventura, coffee is about connection. “Sometimes there are some words or phrases that can’t be translated. But not for coffee! In Portuguese you can ask, ‘Vamos tomar uma cafezinho?’ In Italian you say, ‘Prendiamo un caffè,’ and in English, ‘Let’s get a coffee!’” he explains. “But we all know that when we say that, it’s way more than just a coffee. It means that you will be with someone, you will talk, sometimes share good news, sometimes not so good, sometimes just talking about the coffee that you are having, but at the end of the day, it means that you care.” This is the philosophy that permeates every step of his Boulder-based roasting operation, Bona Coffee Roasters. From the producers in Ethiopia and Brazil, to fellow beverage makers and collaborators right here in Colorado like Boulder Spirits, Sanitas Brewing Co. and 4 Noses Brewing Company, Andre has made connection a big part of each cup of coffee.

Bona sources beans from coffee producers they know personally across the globe. Some, Andre even grew up with in Brazil. Then, through a rigorous blind testing process, the team selects which coffees will make it to their state-of-the-art roastery. “We use the most innovative and sustainable technology available to highlight the coffee’s unique characteristics and develop the best taste for each bean,” Andre says. “We work tirelessly to craft dynamic and distinct roast profiles and blends that will knock your socks off." To try it yourself, visit Bona’s coffee shop inside Sanitas Brewing Co., or keep your eyes peeled for the chance to try “They Call Her Joe,” a coffee blond stout created in collaboration with Sanitas Brewing Co. and 4 Noses Brewing Company. Andre reports they will also start offering classes again this summer, so specialty coffee lovers should join the waitlist for more info. BonaCoffeeRoasters.com
