Bruce Bernstein | bruce.bernstein@citylifestyle.com Mindy Katz | mindy.katz@citylifestyle.com EDITOR

Who doesn’t love summer? It’s the time of year where life’s pace seems to slow down and we can spend more time outdoors, enjoying longer days and warmer weather. It’s the season for barbecues, beach days, family outings, outdoor parties, and summer concerts. If we’re lucky, we can take some time off from work to relax at home, or maybe even travel. In this issue, we kick off the summer season by getting to know some of our local influencer friends who share their favorite summer foods, essentials, activities, and hidden gems. While outside enjoying the beautiful weather, don’t forget to protect your skin. We checked in with the newly opened, Kissoapery, for the latest natural skincare tips and trends. And if travel plans are on your radar, Tuscany is magical any time of year, but especially in the summer. If you’re in a BBQ rut, don’t miss Culinary Creations–we promise the delicious grilled chicken with pineapple salsa from Cat’s Kitchen won’t disappoint. And if fitness is your thing, check out our feature on Mayhem Nation, the international brand behind 9-time CrossFit Games Champion, Rich Froning Jr. whose motto is Faith, Family, Fitness, and Service. July is finally here! Enjoy every minute by soaking up the sun outdoors, and of course, taking in the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells of summer!

Stephanie Webster,

CTbites.com

Stephanie Webster started her career as a self-described “eater”, photography editor, and digital strategist whose passion for food began as a kid. Her family travelled extensively, where Stephanie was exposed to flavor profiles from all over the world. “Eating was always an adventure” says Stephanie. Stephanie launched CTbites.com in July 2009, as a culmination of her experience with creative concept development, branding, and art direction. “I like to think that we are advocates for the restaurant industry,” says Stephanie. “We worked to found ‘Food For Behind The Lines,’ a philanthropic organization created to feed and support unemployed restaurant workers, as well as ‘Food For The Front Lines’ which provided income to local restaurants while feeding our healthcare workers during the pandemic.” CT Bites was created with the intention to seek out the very best (not necessarily fancy) eats in Fairfield County, and years later, as the site grew, expanded to include every corner of Connecticut. “We are here to support the CT restaurant industry, by shining a light on local chefs, restaurants, farmers, bakers, and artisans in the CT culinary scene,” says Stephanie. Her quest to find great food in Connecticut is ongoing and all consuming.

Sherri Bartley Rivera & Jean Rossi Wergeles,

Fairfield County Lifestyle

Started by Sherri Bartley and Jean Rossi Wergeles during the pandemic, FCL focuses on positivity, health, wellness and lifestyle. “We love when we make a small difference in the community such as showering a deserving family with holiday gifts or sending a shipment of clothes to displaced residents,” says Sherri. “And of course, we could not do these kind acts if it weren’t for the generosity of local businesses,” adds Jean. Using their writing backgrounds and love for all things local, the almost-empty-nester friends with day jobs (Sherri is VP of Sales at Bartley Manufacturing and Jean works in cause related marketing for Jammin Hammer Jewelry and Jesse Lewis Choose Love Movement), always talked about working together. “When we noticed some of our favorite small businesses closing, we wanted to encourage people to shop local and shop small,” says Jean. “These are the same businesses that donate to fundraisers, support our kids’ sports teams and make up the fabric of our community.” TOP 5 CAN’T-LIVE-WITHOUT SUMMER STAPLES: SHERRI: Blowout at HSalon, facial at Veda Healing Spa, summer dress from Traveling Chic Boutique, Green Dream at Organic Krush, and fresh veggies from Sport Hill Farm. JEAN: Wine, good friends, sunscreen, chick-lit books and flip-flops. FAVORITE THING ABOUT FAIRFIELD IN THE SUMMER: S&J: The beaches! FAVORITE FAIRFIELD HIDDEN GEM: S: Walking at the CT Audobon Birdcraft Museum and the Par 3 Golf Course. J: Sitting outside at Harborview Market eating their delicious cookies and listening to live music. ULTIMATE SUMMER MEAL: S: Seared Salmon Teriyaki and a salted marg at Malibu Taco. J: “Lobstah” roll (what else?) at Lobstercraft. SUMMER BOOK I’M LOVING: S: One Italian Summer by Rebecca Serle (Jean read it first!)

Ria Rueda,

TheBuzzCT

California raised and Connecticut based, Ria Rueda started TheBuzzCT on Instagram during the height of the pandemic in August 2020. A strong believer in supporting and shopping local whenever possible, Ria decided to share her CT-based business finds on Instagram, and as they say, the rest is history. Ria loves sharing her discoveries—everything from fashion and beauty to hospitality and wellness, but what she loves most is having “real” conversations. “I think it’s important to show my audience that life isn’t always pretty so I express my vulnerabilities with the hope to make others feel that they are not alone,” says Ria. With a successful 25-year career in public relations and events, Ria affectionately refers to TheBuzzCT as her side hustle which compliments her day job as Brand Ambassador for Aitoro and Monogram Luxury Appliances, perfectly.

“I think it’s important to show my audience that life isn’t always pretty so I express my vulnerabilities with the hope to make others feel that they are not alone.”

WHEN I THINK OF SUMMER, THE FIRST THING THAT COMES TO MIND: The smell of freshly cut grass, the sound of crickets, dinners on the beach, dining al fresco, watermelon, and farmer’s markets. FAVORITE WAY TO SPEND A SUMMER EVENING: Getting a few friends together to enjoy dinner on the beach complete with candles when it gets dark. TOP 5 CAN’T-LIVE-WITHOUT SUMMER STAPLES: SuperGoop Glow Sunscreen, wide brim hat, a great tan, a refreshing drink, and Kopari Shimmer Body Oil MOST EXCITING SUMMER SPOT I RECENTLY SHARED WITH MY AUDIENCE: Sullivan’s Island in South Carolina FAVORITE FAIRFIELD HIDDEN GEM: The Green Next Door next to Southport Yacht Club that overlooks the water.

Jen Telford & Blair Church,

CT Sprinkles

When CT natives, Jen Telford and Blair Church, met at Eastern Connecticut State University twelve years ago, they had no idea they’d later give birth to CT Sprinkles. Since the two were always dining out, their friends were constantly asking for restaurant recommendations. So, the food-loving friends started an Instagram page posting their food adventures in CT. The addition of “sprinkles” is a tribute to their joint love of all things sweet, especially rainbow sprinkles! Launched in January 2020, just two months before the world shut down, the pair quickly pivoted. “We were able to use our platform to promote and support local restaurants offering curbside pickup and family meals during Covid,” says Jen. “Now that we are able to dine in restaurants again, we go out to eat as much as possible,” adds Blair. Although their primary focus is food, they have recently started highlighting other local businesses they love like GlowBar and SkinLab. CT Sprinkles is purely a creative outlet—Jen is a teacher and Blair is an occupational therapist. Over 10,000 followers later, this dynamic duo loves trying new restaurants and connecting with new people. “It’s the best feeling when a follower tried something we recommended and loved it!” adds Jen. FAVORITE THING ABOUT FAIRFIELD IN THE SUMMER: The beaches! We love getting take-out and bringing dinner to the beach. MOST EXCITING SUMMER SPOT YOU RECENTLY SHARED WITH YOUR AUDIENCE: Cisco Brewers at The Village in Stamford. FAVORITE SUMMER ADVENTURE: Our annual trip to Block Island. ULTIMATE SUMMER MEAL: Oysters, rose, and lobster rolls with French fries. FAVORITE WAY TO COOL OFF: Froyo (We have a slight obsession with 16 Handles!) GO-TO SUMMER DRINK: Aperol Spritz FAVORITE OUTDOOR DINING IN FAIRFIELD: Artisan FAVORITE SUNSCREEN: SkinCeuticals Daily Brightening UV Defense Sunscreen SUMMER GUILTY PLEASURE: Ice cream…every evening.

Clothes Dryers Are a Leading Cause of Home Fires!

Dryers create flammable lint which accumulates in the exhaust vent, and a dryer with a partially blocked vent has to work harder, causing it to overheat and catch fire. Many homeowners attempt cleaning the vent themselves, only to make it worse by compacting lint and debris in hard-to-reach places, putting their home and their family at risk.

SUMMER... THE NATURAL WAY ARTICLE BY DANA EPSTEIN ALTMAN

I NSP IR E D BY | BEAU TY

“The antioxidant properties of distilled rosewater help to strengthen cells, regenerate tissues, clean pores and tone skin; the antibacterial properties aid in healing scars, cuts, and wounds; the anti-inflammatory properties help reduce redness, acne, dermatitis, and eczema.” After years of visits to the dermatologist for skin conditions later determined to be brought on by products containing harsh detergents, cheaply refined ingredients, and artificial fragrance, Nicole Georgakis, a television industry veteran, literally took matters into her own hands by creating her own all-natural, plant-based soap. Nicole personally sourced the highest quality organic, non-gmo, unrefined vegan butters and oils, each of which provides their own natural skin benefits. After discovering that many friends and family were suffering in silence from the same painful skin conditions, Keep It Simple Skincare was born. Lucky for us, Nicole recently opened her first store, Kissoapery, located at 43 Unquowa Road. YOUR COLLECTION IS MADE WITHOUT PARABENS, PETROLEUM, PESTICIDES, PHTHALATES, SULFATES, GMO, SILICONE, ARTIFICIAL DYES OR FRAGRANCE, WHICH IS WONDERFUL! WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE REEF-SAFE? Growing up on the Sound in Fairfield, I witnessed the increase of chemical pollutants in the water. I was on a mission to create products that wouldn’t contribute to the problem. It’s often forgotten that the bath and body products we apply not only can be absorbed into our skin, disrupting our endocrine systems, but also go down the drain and into our water sources around us. Sadly, that destroys ocean ecosystems causing the deterioration of coral reefs. DID YOU MAKE ANY OTHER STRATEGIC DECISIONS UNDER THE “ECO-FRIENDLY” UMBRELLA? I use recycled and compostable packaging, as well as glass containers. We also source the highest quality biodegradable, sustainable sea sponges from a small, family-run company that has their own sea sponge beds in Florida and Greece. It’s very important not to use plastic poufs—they not only harbor and spread bacteria but when disposed will live forever in landfills. ARE YOU A BELIEVER IN CHANGING UP SKINCARE PRODUCTS SEASONALLY? Absolutely! Sun, excessive heat, humidity, and swimming can wreak havoc on delicate facial skin.

Our popular Rosewater Toner helps maintain skin’s pH balance, controls excess oil, hydrates, revitalizes and moisturizes. The antioxidant properties of distilled rosewater help to strengthen cells, regenerate tissues, clean pores and tone skin; the antibacterial properties aid in healing scars, cuts, and wounds; the antiinflammatory properties help reduce redness, acne, dermatitis, and eczema. SUNSCREEN IS A CRITICAL PART OF ANY SUMMER SKINCARE ROUTINE. TELL US ABOUT YOURS. A summer favorite, our 30+SPF Reef-Safe Mineral Sunblock is handcrafted with a proprietary blend of organic unrefined butters & oils that have their own natural SPF, with the addition of non-nano sized mineral zinc oxide, a natural reef-safe UV blocker that doesn’t absorb into the skin. BUG SPRAYS CERTAINLY GET A BAD RAP. Traditional bug sprays are loaded with chemicals, all of which are absorbed into the skin and inhaled into your lungs, which can be extremely dangerous for your health. Our popular KISS Off Bug Repellent spray and soap bar, both handcrafted with our proprietary blend of Cedarwood, Eucalyptus, Lemongrass, Lavender, Peppermint and Tea Tree organic essential oils, deters insects naturally, without the use of chemicals. ARE YOUR PRODUCTS SAFE FOR KIDS? Since our products contain all natural ingredients, our soaps are safe for kids. We’ve received countless emails thanking us for helping eczema and other skin conditions. For canines we offer the Pupcare Dog Shampoo bar, created out of necessity for our dog who suffered with seasonal allergies and itchy skin. This allnatural shampoo bar deep cleans and moisturizes your beloved pup’s skin and coat with our proprietary blend of activated charcoal, organic shea butter, organic neem, coconut, olive, castor and dog safe amounts of essential oils. kisbotanicals.com JULY 2 0 2 2 | C I TYL I FE STYL E .

In the heart of Lucca lies Grand Universe Lucca, a boutique hotel with 55 superbly appointed rooms and suites. The propert y stands proudly adjacent to the Piazza Napoleone and across from the iconic Teatro del Giglio, where performances by Lucchesi composers Puccini, Catalani, and Luporini have inspired a moving music culture that beats well into the present day. Music, one of the hotel’s inherent pillars, inspires the name of each room categor y, including the ‘Piccolo Room’ and ‘Puccini Suite.’ For a truly curated experience, guests can unlock their own theme song with the ‘Prelude of Existence’ experience, whereby the hotel’s classical composer creates a personalized prelude, crafted to ref lect the guest’s personalit y.

Also worth noting is the hotel’s Sommità Martin Orsyn Champagne Rooftop, the first Martin Orsyn branded terrace in Italy. Set against the magic skyline of Lucca’s rooftops, the new champagne terrace offers a bespoke sampling menu of four cuvées with a curated menu of culinary pairings designed to enhance each of the champagnes. When adventure calls, the best way to explore the art, culture & cuisine of Lucca is by bike. The hotel’s Bikes & Bites experience includes a bike rental and pre-packed picnic to enjoy wherever your bike adventures take you. Head 40 minutes north and find Renaissance Tuscany Il Ciocco Resort & Spa, an ideal home base for travelers seeking an authentic, off-the-beaten-path Italian respite. Perched atop a hill overlooking the Serchio Valley, this 180-room resort boasts a spa, two restaurants, two swimming pools and breathtaking views of Tuscany’s natural beauty.

Online Bodyweight and Minimal Equipment Workouts

Sweaty and challenging workouts done in 30 minutes or less at home

ARTICLE BY KELSEY HARRIS AND JEN FRUDAKER

G E T ACT IV E | FITN ESS

Bags are packed, reservations are made, and the Out of Office automatic reply is letting everyone know you have officially entered vacation mode. There’s one thing that’s lingering: how to go on vacation without pressing pause on the fitness progress you’ve made, or avoid commuting to a gym and paying drop-in fees. Mayhem Athlete provides online programming that guarantees challenging workouts which can be done in 30 minutes or less. These quick but effective workouts incorporate compound movements such as burpees, push ups and lunges. Compound movements use more than one muscle group, requiring more energy from your muscles to recover. This means you can continue to burn calories while enjoying the beach or sitting at work, long after the workout is over. The Mayhem Athlete M30 program offers two options for all fitness levels. Mayhem Bodyweight, a 30-minute format that requires no equipment, and Mayhem Minimal, a 30-minute format which only requires a couple dumbbells. Mayhem Athletes’ easy to use app, SugarWOD, provides you with a warm up, workout, accessory cool-down, and coaching video - ensuring you get the most out of your 30 minutes! You can also find video demonstrations for each movement within the app and a community of like-minded individuals who are doing the same workouts around the globe.
