APRIL 2021 PUBLISHER

Jim Newman | jnewman@lifestylepubs.com EDITOR

Hello friends, WITH

THIS

ISSUE,

WE

CELEBRATE

NINE

YEARS

PUBLISHING

BUCKHAVEN LIFESTYLE. Can you believe it? When I answered a Craigslist ad and met Jim Newman and the founder of Lifestyle Publications in Buckhead for a job interview, they were launching the 11th magazine in a portfolio that now numbers nearly 90 across the country. We had grand plans to bring stories about philanthropy, small business growth and family values to our readers who lived in neighborhoods in Buckhead and Brookhaven. Jim and Karyn Slovin hit the pavement to tap businesses that wanted to advertise, reaching you, homeowners nearby who cared about shopping locally (before it became so trendy, I might add). We have met so many motivated entrepreneurs, savvy businessmen and women and generous people along the way who believed in our mission and in print media.

Nine years!

CULINARY CREATIONS

Meet t he Ma i ne S q uad NEW COOKBOOK “FEEDING FAMILY, FEEDING AMERICA,” CREATED BY THREE GENERATIONS OF WOMEN, OFFERS DELICIOUS, EASY-TO-MAKE RECIPES

ARTICLE BUCKHAVEN LIFESTYLE STAFF PHOTOGRAPHY CRISTINA HILL

“FEEDING FAMILY, FEEDING AMERICA” WRITTEN AND PRODUCED AS A FAMILY AFFAIR BY FAMILY MEMBERS AND THREE GENERATIONS (ALLISON HILL, CRISTINA HILL, CHAUNCEY HILL, JOAN SATTER, CARLISLE GHIRARDINI, CATE GHIRARDINI, CAROLINE GHIRARDINI), HAS BEEN RELEASED WORLDWIDE. This 112-page cookbook features favorites from Allison and her family, the “Maine Squad.” Developed while this extended group self-isolated in Ogunquit, Maine, the dishes are organized by meal type, and cover a broad range of styles – each packed with flavor and relatively simple to make. One hundred percent of the proceeds from each sale are donated to the non-profit hunger-relief organization, Feeding America, with up to 100 meals served per book purchased.

“While the disappointments rolled in – missed senior years, missed prom, missed friends – we noticed many Americans were severely affected by the pandemic due to no fault of their own, especially those most marginalized. As a mom, watching my daughters and nieces with a project and purpose to keep them focused on others was very rewarding,” said Allison Hill.

16

BuckHaven Lifestyle | April 2021

“We felt very fortunate as a family to have the things we needed to quarantine like internet and food but it wasn’t the same for so many others. The time to make the book is a small gesture of kindness to others.” said Cristina Hill, photographer and junior at Lovett.

According to Feeding America, “due to the effects of the pandemic, more than 50 million people may experience food insecurity in 2021, including a potential 17 million children. Having the creative support from families like this raising funds is so valued and appreciated.”

Feeding Family, Feeding America can be purchased through retailers worldwide, including BarnesAndNoble.com and Amazon. The paperback retails for $24.99, and the hardcover retails for $29.99. Wholesale orders are available through SeacoastPress.com.

Civana was graced with a multi-million dollar renovation four years ago, with new wellness space filling former conference rooms with art therapy classrooms, yoga studios, a fitness club and self-discovery programming and soothing treatments to make even the most practiced yogi say, “namaste.”

The 184-room resort, located in Carefree (where else?) is an easy drive from Phoenix Sky Harbor airport with a gem of a spa, 22,000 square feet of bliss. Consider one of the spa’s signature treatments as

An hour-long body exfoliation and layered body wrap with essential oils (your choice) combined with organic seaweed or Arizona mud to detox will work for even the tightest of uptights. If that’s you, stay put for another hour on the table for a full-body replenishing massage with infused shea butter, performed by a quiet but strong therapist, an angel in disguise. Later in the afternoon, after a magical wander through the Spur Cross Ranch Conservation Area, join Civana’s guided meditation that will remind you who you are, or who you want to become.

trails, grand outdoor art installations, and an outdoor café. Design fans must visit Taliesen West, Frank Lloyd Wright’s home, studio, and architectural laboratory built by gathering rocks from the desert floor and sand from the washes to keep the design in balance with the environment. Book the 90- minute guided tour by (likely) a retired architect in sensible shoes and endless anecdotes about the iconic artist and his family of apprentices. Check COVID hours before you go.

Heading out of Carefree in a dreamy state of semi-self actualization, we were skeptical of reintegrating to the general population. But, checking into The Scott Resort & Spa in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale was comforting and exciting, thanks to a color palette of old Havana, a New Orleans flair, and recognizable geometry of Bauhaus accents. If this combo sounds jarring, it’s not. It’s a lush retreat, a low rise collection of 200-plus guest rooms around a shady courtyard with two pools, one sand-bottomed, and one with a pool bar and private cabanas. Classic black and white movies are screened on the covered patio and conversation nooks dot the property, in case you need time and space for further contemplation. And, who doesn’t?

Home Fresh Home WE’RE WORKING WHERE WE LIVE! This is motivating people to remodel their homes to create more comfortable and efficient workspaces and living environments and includes landscape design, gardening, repair of older decks and patios as well as the expansion of these hardscapes.

The increased interest in these activities along with shortages in some equipment and building supplies can lead to increase project costs. Sustainable options, long equipment lifetimes and sensible warranties are a must for your protection.

Below are several locally owned companies that can help manage projects indoors and outdoors and make the time you spend outside more enjoyable.

MILTON MECHANICAL SERVICES Improvements in the control of indoor temperature, humidity, equipment noise, air quality, and energy efficiency can often be obtained simultaneously with the installation of new modern HVAC equipment.

Proper design and options selection at the time of installation is the most cost-effective means of upgrading and completing projects. There is strong interest in air quality, air filtration and and sanitization and the choices available are daunting. Make sure you work with a knowledgeable contractor to choose, and install cost effective equipment that can meet your long term specifications. Note replacement filter and bulb costs vary considerably with different brands of equipment. Understand these cost before you start your project.
