giving, the memories created over the holidays and the warmth of a loving community.

CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHERS

When my family and I visited Fort Collins six years ago this month, it was simply that joyous feeling of warmth and community that made us decide to move our family of four from New York City to beautiful, sunny Colorado. In November 2014, we opened our locally focused small business, Higher Ground Rehearsal Studios, to serve the community we love so much. Every year as our roots grow deeper, we feel more and more privileged to be a part of the fabric of Fort Collins.

As editor, my promise is to focus on the heart and soul of Fort Collins and the people who make a difference here. I hope that through the holiday season and into the new year, the stories you read inspire you, that you see a few familiar faces, master a new skill, learn about community organizations that need our support and read articles that are worthy of sharing with friends and family.

There’s a unique perspective that working in editorial brings. We are always looking to what's next. Whether it’s planning our next issue or developing story ideas for the next year, we’ve often already surpassed the present and are living well into the future before the current month has even begun.

The fast-paced lifestyle this industry calls for can often make it difficult to really settle down and absorb what’s going on around us, and before we know it, the year is over and it’s time to move forward yet again. So this December, publisher Nick Wood and I will be slowing down to enjoy the season with our families, and we hope that you take the time to slow down a little bit as well.

Enjoy your time with family and friends, bask in the magic of the winter season, reflect on past memories you hold closely in your hearts and keep the new ones you create in the present for as long as you can. Thank you to our partners, who took a chance on

Our $50 New Patient Appointment includes an exam, digital xrays, ultrasound imaging (if needed) and recommendations from one of our specialists.

Use code LIFE50 when scheduling.

W I N T E R’ S REVEL YOUR GUIDE TO A SIMPLE AND STYLIZED NEW YEAR’S SOIRÉE ARTICLE NICOLETTE MARTIN

Fort Collins Lifestyle | December 2018

FOLLOWING CLOSELY ON THE COATTAILS OF AUTUMNAL AND WINTER HOLIDAYS, THE CELEBRATION OF THE NEW YEAR CAN OFTEN BE OVERLOOKED DUE TO AN UNDERSTANDABLE DESIRE TO TAKE A BREAK FROM THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE OF THE SEASON. But, a holiday that celebrates past memories and the opportunity for both new experiences and a fresh start shouldn’t lack any of the glitz of its celebratory predecessors. Round out the final days of the year reminiscing on or saying goodbye to the experiences—good and bad—of the previous 12 months with a simple end-of-the-year gathering that isn’t lacking any of the glamour.

1

THE DRI N K S

Champagne has long been a traditional drink to toast to the new year. Keep it simple but step up your game with your own DIY Champagne cocktail bar. Consider stocking your bar full of custom Champagne or bubbly choices, festive mixers like cranberry juice or rosemary simple syrup and unique garnishes like fresh fruit and herbs or decorative ice cubes with edible flowers.

2

THE DECO R There’s no need to go out and buy a ton of additional decor when you just decked the halls (quite literally) with holiday ornamentation.

Make those decorations work as hard as you did by repurposing all the greenery, pine cones and wood place settings you just couldn’t say no to. Throw in some neutral napkins, some natural twine and some dried orange peels for a woodsy (and fragrant) twist.

WHAT YOU NEED + Cheese board or serving plate

Cheese is best served at room temperature, so

Keep your guests happy with the perfect cheese plate. Consider

be sure your cheese has time to rest prior to

how many people you’ll be serving, whether you’ll be serving before or after dinner and what cheeses you’ll want to include.

According to WineFolly.com, sparkling wines pair best with creamy, sticky cheeses due to the high acidity and carbonation.

serving. Slice the cheeses and arrange artfully on your cheese board with labels for each.

Consider providing separate serving knives for each cheese to avoid any mixing of flavors.

Add any additional bites you’d like and enjoy!

Media, Raycom Media/NBC and iHeartmedia. She also has a life-long passion for music and for creating meaningful community partnerships.

Jen is originally from Devon, England, where she grew up on a farm in Totnes surrounded by music and the arts. Jen’s professional career started when she joined Future Publishing in Bath, England, which was founded by Chris Anderson, current owner of the famed TED Talks.

At Future, she sold advertising and successfully launched several video game magazines, including Amiga Format Magazine. Her sales and marketing career transitioned to Origin Systems, an Austin, Texas-based video game company, serving as their brand manager in England, France, Germany and Spain. She was then promoted and transferred to the U.S. to lead worldwide marketing. Origin was later acquired by Electronic Arts. From EA, she joined Ziff-Davis where she was the associate publisher and helped launch Sony’s PlayStation Magazine.

With her extensive knowledge base, Jen hopes to grow our local Fort Collins community radio station, 88.9 FM to reach new heights through community partnerships, public affairs coverage and of course, new live and local music.
