How do you show that you love local? For us it’s choosing to support small businesses and make an impact on our community through our local economy. When we moved here in 2013, we had just one business. Who could have possibly imagined that 9 years later we not only grew our business portfolio 5x but would also publish this incredible magazine and employ so many amazingly creative humans. We keep our dollars and our hearts here and plan to do so for many years to come. We truly want every business in Fort Collins to not only survive but thrive, to grow beyond what their owners thought possible. As we transition into the new year we plan to utilize Fort Collins Lifestyle to share more about the local businesses, brands, and people we love. We feel it’s our duty to provide you, our amazing readers, with the information you need to choose to support a local business not only with your wallet but your heart.

Meet some of Northern Colorado’s most talented and unique artists

Victor Salazar

Victor Salazar has been working with alabaster for nearly fifty years. While his day jobs may have changed over the years, the struggle to create life in this medium has remained constant. Carving animals, roses, fruit, and hands among other things, Salazar looks to the shape of his raw material to guide what will be made. Drawing inspiration from traditional art all over the world, and materials from alabaster veins as close as Owl Canyon and as far as Italy, his style has developed over the years to be unique and inspired. “I’ve enjoyed the hell out of it,” He says of his life-long passion. Salazar’s currently available work can be found at Sanderosa Art Gallery.

Fort Collins Public Media AN OASIS IN A MEDIA DESERT ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY GRAHAM MACKEY

In the dimly lit video editing bay of Fort Collins Public Media (FCPM) Executive Director Chris Winslow sits talking about the non-profit media station. He says the mission of the organization is to be the counterbalance to corporate media and give a voice to the underprivileged. Those being members of the community and other non-profit organizations (NPOs). When it comes to the work for NPOs, Winslow mentions that there are a variety of projects FCPM takes on. Ranging from event coverage such as galas and races to creating marketing content helping to promote the NPOs’ message through visual storytelling. Recently, FCPM worked with the Alliance for Suicide Prevention to bring attention to the suicide rates of Larimer County, the sixth highest rate in Colorado. This collaboration helped to shine a light on an issue that otherwise keeps to the shadows. This work with NPOs serves a dual purpose for the non-profit multimedia organization. It keeps the lights on in the underfunded studio, and it cultivates cooperation between other like-minded community groups. FCPM also provides media consultation to non-profits. When the Poudre Wilderness Volunteers came to FCPM for help Winslow says that they already had the perfect tool, a GO Pro camera. Which became their best friend because of its weather resistant design, “What we find happens more often than not is that [organizations] know what they

do, they just don’t know how to show other people that they do it.” With FCPM’s help the Poudre Wilderness Volunteers were able to create video content that spreads awareness of what the organization does in the community. Ironically, being a voice-box for others usually means that your voice is muted. Winslow believes this is a cause of the lack of public funding for public media stations such as FCPM. This shortcoming has not stopped the plucky NPO as they are constantly pursuing other avenues to secure financial support through sponsors and underwriters for their original programming, “but that requires manpower,” to reach out and find those financial backers. He says that the challenges that most Public, Educational and Governmental (PEG) Stations face is not the lack of equipment but operational funding to hire more people to act as ambassadors for them. Winslow says it might be easier to commercialize by selling ad time but that would go against the mission of FCPM which is to remain “true to your core, serve the lower income people, serve the community in a way that gives them an approach to archiving all of the cool events that happen without having them break the bank to try and do so.” However, all of the uncertainty surrounding the future of PEG stations hasn’t shaken Winslow’s resolve about the next step for FCPM; To become the go to place for all things related to video and events in Fort Collins.

“Not the primary people who necessarily create all those things but the place that everybody goes to,” Winslow says, whether that be local filmmakers or senior citizens to find out what is happening in the city. There are even talks about FCPM becoming a news station of sorts to cover local stories within the Fort Collins area, which lies within a “media desert,” meaning that the closest news stations are either in Wyoming or Denver. Winslow believes FCPM can be an oasis, “There is not a day that goes by that I’m not conscious of the idea of trying to impact and create content that’s best for the entire community of Fort Collins.” This wouldn’t be an overnight change as this type of undertaking requires a veritable army of people to join the organization to help tell these stories. From video producers to editors cutting the new story that just came in and putting it up online, this would require more than the estimated eighty people that come through the small station yearly. It would however align perfectly with FCPM’s mission, they are truly passionate about projects that make an impact in the community. What better way to do that than to give a voice to the people of Fort Collins? Along with this change comes the ever-evolving media landscape in which people are ditching the rabbit ears and cable television, moving toward more convenient and affordable streaming options instead. FCPM foresaw this change five years prior and opted to move their entire library of programming online which is available free of charge while also staying on regular television. Winslow believes the organization could shift completely online if cable ever goes by the wayside, but he isn’t worried about the possible move as, “the vehicle isn’t as important as the impact.” All of this would not be possible without Winslow, although he won’t come out and say it, being a modest person. He also knows that he isn’t alone in this, and says that he thinks that FCPM has improved since he joined the organization ten years ago. With him helping to move the organization over to high definition, setting up the new studio, and being the main producer, the work is ongoing. But the most important thing to Winslow is the organization itself, “If it’s doing well, I’m doing well.” Fort Collins Public Media is located at 200 Mathews Street in the Carnegie Building next to the library. The board of directors meets the second Wednesday of every month unless otherwise noted and is open to the public.

Positively Glowing CUSTOMIZING YOUR SKIN CARE AT AMNA RAFIQ’S SKIN LOUNGE

ARTICLE BY LILY CONTESTABLE

Amna Rafiq has been making people’s skin soft, glowy, and full of elasticity since she began her business The Skin Lounge in 2019. Her love of skincare dates all the way back to her childhood in Pakistan where she mixed her own face masks and did makeup for her friends and family. She says she loves Fort Collins for its embracing community that has welcomed her from the moment she arrived. Rafiq has always been interested in new skin treatments and products, “when I moved up to Fort Collins in 2001, I saw this niche missing where skincare is very personal and people just didn’t treat my skin the way it was supposed to be treated.” Rafiq tells us that The Skin Lounge stands out because she incorporates all of the nitty-gritty aspects of skincare,

20

O PE N H OU SE | BEAU TY


including education on quality products, makeup, what’s trending, and ingredients to use or avoid. She also uses high-quality products that she tries out herself before using them on her clients. The popular brands she uses at The Skin Lounge currently are Environ and Reguvi. Treatments Rafiq provides at her business include permanent makeup, facials, and Plasma Fibroblast. Many women believe that skin damage is irreversible, but with the proper treatments, anything is possible! Rafiq states that at her salon, no two facials are the same. Through a thorough consultation, Rafiq examines each client’s skin and determines its underlying needs. She also discusses her client’s lifestyles and overall skin goals they desire to create a treatment that matches

everything to them perfectly. The effectiveness of personalized facials such as these is what keeps clients coming back for more. “When I give a facial, it’s like a very customized treatment. So I have a consultation before and then everything is customized around their skin type.” Rafiq’s daily inspiration lies directly with her passion for skincare and through learning, she has carved her way to an amazing business. I had the pleasure of receiving a facial myself and witnessed firsthand a full personalized treatment. A few days before my facial, I filled out an emailed form where I answered questions about my skin and any specific issues I’d like to be helped with. The form included a wide variety of skin insecurities like acne, rosacea, sun damage, wrinkles, telangiectasias, and much more. CONTINUED >

When I arrived at The Skin Lounge, I was given a towel to change into and asked to lie on a spa chair with soft blankets. The room was very warm and welcoming, allowing me to feel comfortable and relaxed the whole time. My treatment included a bundle of cleansers, masks, creams, and serums that were spread all over my face and neck and then gently wiped off and repeated one after the other. After the product she used was evenly spread, Rafiq used her magic hands to work them into my skin until it was fully soaked in. Her massages stimulated my skin and worked my facial muscles. My eyes were closed the majority of the time, but I could feel my skin feeling more tightened, and refreshed with every concoction and massage she used. To get the best results in anything beauty-related, consistency is key! I wasn’t expecting to see too many results due to it being my first time, but my skin looked and felt vastly different. Rafiq handed me a small mirror after the treatment was done and my skin was crystal clear. My favorite products used were the hydrating clay mask and the flavonoid complex. She told me my skin was lacking some brightness so she used one of her vitamin C serums that left my face glowing. That evening I rinsed my face with water and was left with a smooth, moisturized complexion that my other lotions and cleansers never achieved! Overall, my experience at The Skin Lounge left me feeling calm, rejuvenated, and very happy with my results. Having beautiful skin is one of the best steps to take towards confidence and wellness. What better way to pamper yourself than to schedule an appointment with the best skin care professional in Fort Collins? Check out Rafiq’s website to learn more about all the amazing treatments she offers. www.studioskinlounge.com

HOW LOCAL BUSINESS OWNERS SHOW LOVE IN THE COMMUNITY, AND HOW TO LOVE THEM BACK!

Photo provided by LoCo Think Tank

A couple months ago now, I attended the Respite Ball on invitation from a former colleague in the banking industry. Though still limited in attendance by covid restrictions, there were hundreds of people at the event and it raised well over $250,000 in donations and pledges - and I don’t know how much in sponsorships! The event is the major annual fundraiser for Respite Care, which provides short term, quality care to families of children with developmental disabilities in our region.

Lovin’ the Local Community


For most of the attendees, it was our first large event in many months, and for me, the first since the Project Self Sufficiency Luncheon on March 12, 2020. PSS helps single parent families chart and navigate a course to sustainable income through education and career development. Good causes both, serving demographics who desperately require support, and who are often overlooked by national or state programs. One thing that both events had in common is that they were like reunions of sorts for me - I ran into dozens of friends and acquaintances, some of whom I hadn’t seen in 5 or 10 years or more. After 15 years serving the small business community as a banker, and now this month celebrating 8 years of supporting small business owners in their role as an enterprise - I know a lot of small business leaders. And one thing that’s constant is that these leaders show up to support good causes. Our motto at LoCo Think Tank is “Ask of Your Needs and Share of Your Abundance” - and the holding of these events, and people showing up are great examples of both. I’m proud to be a business member of Realities for Children - a very unique organization developed here in Fort Collins, which serves thousands of children facing abuse or neglect in our region through direct service and a network of partner agencies. I don’t have space to describe all that Realities does in this article, but I would have you know that they have over 200 small business members like me that pay $150/month or more to be a member. In return, members get marketing and networking opportunities, and to know that they are making a difference in the lives of children for whom there are often no other safety nets. CONTINUED >

Beyond all these fundraisers and memberships, however, the core of what small businesses do is to serve our goods and services needs at the ground level. Need your house painted, a cup of coffee, your taxes done? - most likely you are relying on a small business. Small businesses don’t launch satellites into orbit, and they don’t build many houses anymore, and they don’t build planes, trains and automobiles - those are all things that big businesses have always done or have taken over. Do you know what those big businesses don’t do? - they don’t sponsor the Respite Ball, or become members at Realities for Children, and they usually don’t give your kid his or her first job. Small businesses serve the direct needs of others, and in so doing they create enterprises that provide jobs and sometimes create wealth and abundance to share. That sharing of abundance reveals the heart of a community! By thinking

creative planning for your future ARTICLE BY ALLISON SWAN | PHOTOGRAPHY BY JANIE JONES

Creative Planning believes there’s a richer way to wealth. Their team of CFP professionals, CPAs and attorneys work together to create clear customized plans to maximize your wealth, all in one place. Their award-winning in-house services span a variety of financial disciplines, including comprehensive wealth and investment management, insurance, tax prep, trusts, estate, financial and retirement planning. Founded in Overland Park, KS, they have since branched out across the globe, gaining a national reputation that has earned them numerous prestigious awards, including #1 wealth management firm in America by Barron’s, CNBC and Forbes. President and CEO Peter Mallouk shares his wealth of knowledge with approachable financial advice. Two issues coming together at once inspired the creation of Mallouk’s business. “My dad was a physician frustrated with his financial advisor who sold him products and didn’t really explain things well, and I was an estate attorney that saw a full view of the advisory world and thought there was a better way to deliver the all around experience. Ultimately, that led to Creative Planning offering investments and planning as well as legal and tax advice in a very approachable, consultative way.” Mallouk has written several books, including 5 Mistakes Every Investor Makes and How to Avoid Them, and has cowritten Unshakeable: Your Financial Freedom Playbook and The Path: Accelerating Your Journey to Financial Freedom with Tony Robbins. When looking for a financial advisor, find the right one by asking the right questions.

F IN A N CIA L BU Z Z | FIN ANCE + LE GAL S E RVI CE S

“Most don’t realize that the vast majority of financial advisors don’t have to act in the client’s best interests. A minority of financial advisors are fiduciaries and operate under laws that share similarities with doctors and lawyers, meaning they do have to act in their client’s best interests. First, ask your advisor if they are registered as a broker or are dually registered. If they say yes to either, that means that part or all of the time, they don’t have to act in your best interests. There are thousands of advisors that will act in your best interest, so take the time to find one. Second, ask your advisor if their parent company, or the ownership of their parent company, own investment vehicles. If the answer is yes, don’t be surprised if some of those investment vehicles find their way into your portfolio. Essentially you may find yourself paying an advisor to then put you in a fund where the company collects another fee. There is no need to accept this conflict. Find a fiduciary that is not dually registered and that does not own their own investment products. At that point, you at least have someone that is incented to act on your behalf all the time. From there, look for education, credentials and experience with people like you.” As for the future, it’s never looked brighter at Creative Planning. “It’s an exciting time—we can do more for our clients today than at any point in our history. In many ways, it feels like we are just at the starting line.” For more information, visit CreativePlanning.com.
