HOWDY COWBOY! GET READY TO WORK HARD, PLAY HARDER AND LOOK GOOD WHILE DOING SO
SHOPPING
SEE WHAT'S HOT IN MEN'S EYEWEAR AND WATCHES
Welcome to our Precious Summer
Since we covered a lot for the ladies last month, June marks our annual Gentlemen’s Issue. So, we packed the issue with a bunch of fun to check out.
Men are fathers, brothers, mentors, friends, and partners. They serve in every role imaginable from teachers shaping young minds, doctors saving and changing lives, builders creating the physical world around us, and community leaders driving change. Contributing to advancements in science, the arts, politics, social justice, and so much more. Every day, the men we see harbor strength, responsibility, sacrifice, love, and help to anchor families and communities. I personally see these contributions every day through work, my own family, friends, and through simple interactions in the neighborhood.
Guys, if you are wanting to spruce up the family vehicle before hitting the road this summer, or turn heads in that beloved sports car, Davila’s auto detailing can make it happen. Founded in 2021, Francisco and Edson’s team provides excellent service both in shop and in your very own driveway should you prefer.
Chris and Julie at Owl Optical have some great trends for men’s eyewear, and carry many of the top brands for everyday wear and sunglasses. Their team will make sure you are looking your best while finding the best fit and shape for your face.
Time is precious, so why not keep track of it in style? R.F. Moeller has some of the best watches both new and pre-owned to make sure you are on time and ready to conquer.
When hitting the greens this summer, consider secrets from a pro. Scott Stallings reveals what he does behind the scenes to make sure he’s at the top of his game.
With so many shows pointing to life out west, we have included a brief idea on how you too can head out into the sunset.
Lastly, the Edina Art Fair returns with great connection, talent, and family friendly activity.
Gentlemen, I hope you enjoy this fabulous season!

A FAMILY-RUN BUSINESS DRIVING EXCELLENCE IN VEHICLE CARE
DAVILA’S AUTO DETAILING
Since opening in January 2021, Davila’s Auto Detailing has swiftly become a trusted name in Minnesota for premium vehicle detailing services.
growing demand. They also introduced a mobile detailing service, which has been instrumental in broadening their reach and serving customers with
“WE WANT TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY AND MAKE A GOOD LIVING FOR OUR FAMILIES.”
Owned and operated by cousins Francisco Canedo and Edson Davila, the business combines family values with expert craftsmanship to deliver exceptional care for cars, boats, motor homes, RVs, and motorcycles.
The story behind Davila’s Auto Detailing is one of partnership and complementary skills. Edson, who honed his detailing expertise in California, brought the idea and technical know-how, while Francisco, whose background lies in HVAC and small business management, provided essential support in setting up and running the shop. “I didn’t know much about car detailing at first,” Francisco recalls, “but using our own unique skills, it was a perfect partnership.”
The duo quickly recognized the need to expand, moving into a larger facility in St. Louis Park to meet
convenience. Their team now includes four full-time and two part-time professional detailers, all dedicated to high-quality results backed by stateof-the-art equipment.
One of Davila’s Auto Detailing’s key differentiators is their commitment to using organic and environmentally friendly cleaning products. They rely heavily on items made from natural citrus extracts, ensuring effective cleaning without harsh chemicals. Francisco emphasizes that their advanced high-PSI machines, combined with a two-person detailing team for each vehicle, allow them to complete highgrade interior detailing in two to three hours—significantly faster than the industry standard of five to six hours per vehicle. This efficiency translates to more affordable pricing and superior customer satisfaction.
Davila’s also stands out for its comprehensive range of services. Their offerings include full interior and exterior detailing, buffing and waxing, ozone treatment for odor removal, engine detailing, steam cleaning—capable of eliminating 99.9% of viruses and bacteria—paint correction, and undercarriage pressure washing.
The most popular service, the full interior detail, goes beyond vacuuming to include shampooing carpets and seats, deep cleaning vents, cup holders, door panels, and conditioning leather, vinyl, and plastics. Even a mini detail promises thorough vacuuming of all interiors and trunks, ensuring every client’s needs are met.
For Francisco and Edson, the joy in their work comes from seeing the transformations they bring to customers’ vehicles. “When a mom brings a messy minivan filled with junk and chaos, and we return it looking like new, that moment of happiness is what makes me proud,” Francisco shares. It’s a sentiment that reflects the company’s honest, straightforward approach: no upselling unnecessary services, no hidden fees—just quality detailing performed by hardworking professionals who treat every vehicle with care.
“RELIABILITY, ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND INTEGRITY.”
Above all, Davila’s Auto Detailing is building its reputation on reliability, attention to detail and integrity. Francisco sums it up simply: “We’re here to build a serious, long-term business. We want to serve our community honestly, provide competitive pricing, and make a good living for our families.” As they continue to grow, their passion for excellence and customer care remains the driving force behind every sparkle and shine they deliver.

Men’s Eyewear Trends in 2025
INSIGHTS FROM CHRIS HANSEN OF OWL OPTICAL
ARTICLE BY SARAH KNIEFF | PHOTOGRAPHY BY LUCY HAWTHORNE AND PROVIDED
As men’s eyewear continues to blend fashion and function, understanding the latest trends can help one choose frames that complement their style and lifestyle. We sat down with Chris Hansen, co-owner of Owl Optical—a renowned boutique eyewear store helmed with his wife Julie—to get the inside scoop on what men are wearing this year and which brands are making waves.
Lightweight Dominate Among Younger Wearers
According to Chris, younger men are gravitating toward more lightweight frames, particularly plastic and metal designs that offer both comfort and a modern aesthetic. “These frames are what I call the George Costanzas,” Chris says.
Chunky and Matte for the More
Mature Crowd
On the other hand, men in the older demographic tend to favor chunkier, heavier frames. These bold styles provide a striking statement and often utilize timeless colors. “Tortoiseshell is always a hot color, but matte finishes seem to be really in right now,” Chris explains. Matte black and gray frames are particularly trendy, marrying subtlety with sophistication.
“IT” BRANDS AT OWL OPTICAL
Owl Optical prides itself on curating a diverse selection of eyewear that caters to various tastes. Some of the top brands favored by their clientele include:
Ahlem: This French brand is popular among both younger and older customers. Its chunkier styles appeal to a more mature audience, while the sleek gold and silver metal frames align with the younger crowd’s preferences.
Cutler and Gross: A British heritage brand dating back to the 1960s, Cutler and Gross is known for its bold frames that make a statement. These pieces blend vintage flair with contemporary design, appealing to those who appreciate craftsmanship and individuality.
Moscot: An iconic American label from New York, Moscot offers timeless, classic looks that never go out of style. Their frames balance old-school charm with modern sensibilities, and they also provide options for those who like chunkier, distinctive eyewear.

SCOTT STALLINGS’ WORKOUT
Like many impressionable kids with giddy enthusiasm for their favorite sport, Scott Stallings discovered his interest for golf at the young age of 3.
But it was the “aha moment” for his LOVE of the game that came in 1997 when Tiger Woods won the Masters and would forever change the entire landscape of the industry, as well as what Stallings would aspire to achieve in his future professional endeavors.
Upon realizing “that Woods wasn’t that much older than him,’’ Scott set himself into overdrive to “get it together” and tapped into his natural drive to be one of the best.
He trained his way through achieving allstate golfer and Dean’s List status in high school. He was a seven-time tournament winner and was an All-American while attending Tennessee Tech, and he has won on the PGA Tour three times as a professional golfer.
In 2016 he learned he had been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea and acute adrenal fatigue. It was a result of some unhealthy nutritional habits, both of which affected his ability to continue effectively as a professional athlete.
“ GOLF IS A GRIND, BUT DON’T LET PHYSICALITY GET IN THE WAY OF YOUR GAME .”
With the guidance of doctors, surgeons, and his good friend Rich Froning, a four-time Crossfit champion, Scott developed a workout to trim 60 pounds, boasting 10% body fat, revising his daily eating habits, and sleeping healthily through the night.
“I came to the realization that it was no one’s fault but my own. The excuses and finger pointing led back to me, and once you take ownership, you take power in that,” Scott says.
“The voice within gave me some scary realizations that I always hated the doctor, and that they would tell me something was wrong. I learned a little information goes a long way, and that saved my health. Make one change today, and make another one tomorrow, and you’ll never look back.”
Had Scott not gone to the doctor because of that innate fear, he never would have known the diagnosis of sleep apnea that needed to be addressed.
“You only get one body,” he says.
Luckily for Scott, he didn’t have an overwhelming, crazy life overhaul. Instead, he was able to find one small thing, delivering simple systematic changes in his workout that led to his improvement in fitness and quality of life.
He still was driven to be one the best PGA Tour players and the best family guy he could be, and he would do all of the discovery, the surgeries, and the daily changes all over again to continue living his best life.
“I legitimately have some great people push me and stay around me,” Scott says.
Scott has traveled the world over, playing on some of the best courses around, from Augusta National twice, to courses across Asia, Europe, Australia, and the hope to cross the Middle East and more stunning destinations in New Zealand off his global travel list. His next “bucket list” trip?
Today, Scott happily shares healthy time with his wife and kids and is leading up The Scott Stallings Kids Play Free Junior Golf Initiative, a partnership with the Tennessee Golf Foundation to bring free junior golf to the Knoxville area.
THE WORKOUT BASICS :
KETTLEBELLS
Cast iron or cast steel ball with a handle attached to the top; ideal for exercises that combine cardio, strength and flexibility training.
BARS AND WEIGHTS
A long iron bar on which weight plates are placed. Weights come in a variety of styles, including weight plates, barbells and dumbbells.
DUMBBELLS
Short barbells, usually held in each hand
MEDICINE BALLS
Weighted balls roughly the diameter of the shoulders that are used for strength training and rehabilitation
STALLINGS’ PRIMARY EQUIPMENT: HIS TOP EXERCISES:
KETTLEBELL POWER SNATCH:
Uses ground force to leverage the kettlebell upward, then the shoulder, arm and back support the weight as it gets pushed overhead. Also a great cardio exercise and trains the body for a good golf swing.
KETTLEBELL HALO:
Start by holding the kettlebell upside down at chest height, then lift the weight to head height and rotate it around the head like a halo in both directions. This exercise focuses on shoulder mobility— which is important for a good golf swing— and warms up the muscles and soft tissue around the shoulder girdle.
CLEAN TO LUNGE:
First, the kettlebell is lifted from the ground to shoulder height. Then, the foward lunge loads weight into the legs one at a time, which happens from the backswing to the downswing. The exercise increases strength in calves and forearms, which is essential for a powerful swing.
SO YOU WANT TO BE A COWBOY
DISCOVER THE WHIMSY OF THE WEST AT PAWS UP MONTANA
Favorably referred to as the “Last Best Place” and the “Treasure State,” Montana has captured the hearts of cinematic cowboys like Taylor Sheridan and Harrison Ford and inspired the television series, “Yellowstone” and its prequels, “1883” and “1923.” Though fictional, they’ve reminded America of its deeply-rooted spirit for adventure and the simple yet rugged way of life that we all crave. Whether its the backdrop of jagged, snowcapped peaks or the endless golden pastures that are peppered with livestock, this Rocky Mountain soil is a breeding ground for dreamers and doers, and the people who call it home are no strangers to the ritual of ranch life.
So, you want to be a cowboy? Slipping on some leather and having a little hide in your hat are good ways to start, but visiting a resort that brings the best of this life to the forefront, while also embracing modern luxury, is the experience of a lifetime.
Paws Up Montana sprawls the distance of 37,000 private acres of historic estateland, which houses a working ranch and 10 miles of Blackfoot river. Personalization is key—a divine selection of cuisine for the foodies, awe-inspiring activities for the adrenaline seekers, and world-class lodging that tickles every fancy from stargazing glamping, to timber-style family dwellings, to the uniquely designed green “o hauses” that invite the outside world in.

WHERE TO STAY
WHAT TO DO
To change your attitude, you need a change in altitude. Gain some speed or turn up the adrenaline level with ATV tours, electric biking, mountain biking, go-karts, paintball, rappelling down Lookout Rock or whitewater rafting down the Blackfoot River. Indulge in the western art of living with archery, fly-fishing, hiking or sporting clays. For those who want to immerse themselves in the language of horses, there are horse-related adventures such as lessons, grooming or feeding, horse-whispering workshops or organized trails rides. Riders can also enjoy cattle drives that bring you back to yesteryear—driving a herd of cattle across the famed landscape—and bear witness to mustang gentling, where the Equestrian Manager communicates with a wild horse through body language and tone of voice. Skyline Aerial Adventure Park is another notable warm-weather activity, taking guests on two high-ropes courses.
Luxury Homes are categorized into preference-based properties that boast the thrill of wilderness living. For larger families and multigenerational groups, consider the Wilderness Estates. At 3,250-square-feet, these estates sleep up to eight guests and feature three large suites with private baths. The Big Timber Homes are available in one-to-three bedroom options and come ornamented with fire places and private decks. The Meadow Homes are 1,100-square-foot single-story homes that sleep up to four guests, situated amid a pastoral and treed setting. For an extra nod of perfection, choose one of the luxury homes that comes equipped with a private tent—ideal for anyone traveling with children (or adults who beckon back their childhood!).
For a more primitive experience, Glamping Homes offer the right amount of canvas to create a close-to-nature experience. Available mid-May through mid-October, choose from river settings to creeksides, bluffs or cliffs. Each tent is adorned with something unique—a copper tub, a picturesque view of Lewis and Clark’s famous Lookout Rock and Western-chic furniture throughout. Zip down the windows to allow for the cool nightly breeze, yet enjoy the modern convenience of electricity. Each campsite has a dining pavilion. And don’t miss the s’mores boards around the communal fire pit, offered by your own s’moresologist—yes, you read that right, and yea, it’s a thing.
Lastly, but certainly not least, are the state-of-theart accommodations of the Green O hauses. This portion of the property is completely curated for those 21 years of age and older. It’s a resort within a resort, a hidden pearl in an oyster of experience. The Tree Haus is elevated 23 feet in the air and offers unparalleled forest views. The Green Haus includes a skylight above the bed for an unmatched view of pluck-em-from-thesky stars. The Round Haus has curved, floor-to-ceiling windows that offer 180-degree panoramic views. Both the Green and Round Hauses are dog friendly, too, so Fido can rest in the lap of luxury. The Light Haus is illuminated by skylights and unique glass design.
DRINK & DINE
Montana’s best kept secret? Our hideaway chefs, making waves from the Montana wilderness. Chef Brandon Cunningham, Executive Chef at the Green O, is a James Beard Award finalist whose creations at the Social Haus are highly curated through an 8-course tasting menu. Other highly trained and talented chefs like Chef Brett Edlund, Chef Ben Scott, Executive Pastry Chef Krystle Swenson, and Sunny Jin, the General Manager of Food and Beverage, are part of the intricate patchwork of the culinary experience at Pomp, Trough, Shed, Camp and the notable Chuck Wagon—a summertime treat where guests can ride a hay wagon along the banks of the Blackfoot River for an Old West-inspired chuck wagon dinner. The menu ranges from all-natural chicken and Tomahawk ribeye to fresh vegetables grilled over an open flame campfire.
HOW TO GET HERE
Airport: Missoula Montana Airport (MSO) Airport transfers from Missoula are complimentary for guests and all luxury home and Green O accommodations come with a Lexus luxury SUV for transportation use on property.
