WE’VE ALL HAD THAT MOMENT WHEN OUR CLOSET IS FULL BUT WE CAN’T FIND A SINGLE THING TO WEAR. Whether it’s too big, too small, or just plain last season, the perfect outfit can be difficult to find.

It’s no wonder, too. Our style is the first thing the rest of the world sees, and whether or not we want to admit it, deep down we all care a little about how the world perceives us. With style being all around us in the form of clothing, hair, accessories, home decor or even food, we bring you our September issue—have you guessed it yet? The style issue!

Whether you’re interested in a complete fall wardrobe refresh or are just looking for a few style pointers, we’re excited to share with you the stylings of Green Valley.

We’re not just into clothes and accessories, though. From local designers and local boutiques to style for your home, your hair and even your meals, Green Valley has so much to offer we wish we could’ve squeezed it all in.

Whatever kind of style you’re into this season, we hope this issue inspires you to

Mathnasium SUBTRACTING CHALLENGES, ADDING SUCCESS

THEODORE ROOSEVELT ONCE SAID, "NOTHING IN THE WORLD IS WORTH HAVING OR WORTH DOING UNLESS IT MEANS EFFORT, PAIN, DIFFICULTY." This is, of course, true with almost everything that we do in life, including school.

However, it is more often true for math. Unless you are part of a tiny part of the population that is naturally gifted at math, it was probably one of the harder subjects for you; I believe that is something we can all agree on.

But you must have gotten through it somehow by either spending hours upon hours studying the issue or perhaps begging your teacher for extra credit. Whatever method you employed, there is probably another thing we can all agree on: We don't want our children to suffer through that. And just not taking math isn't even within the realm of possibility. With 95 percent of the highest paying jobs straight out of college requiring high-level math, it is simply unavoidable.

However, if Batman is the hero of Gotham, then Mathnasium is the hero of any child taking a math course. While the subject they teach is rigid, their method is assuredly not. With the options of private tutoring and summer programs, Mathnasium tailors a custom approach to every child's needs. And this is all possible because of their hand-picked team of specialty math tutors. These tutors undergo extensive training to learn Mathnasium's unique and enjoyable approach.

This patented pantheon of learning is all made possible because of Nicholas Mele, the owner of Green Valley Mathnasium. For 20 years, Nick taught all levels of math at Green Valley High School, from pre-algebra to AP Calculus BC and IB Math HL. Based on AP and IB Exams, GVHS was selected to Newsweek's Top Schools eight times. Nick also has more than 10 years of experience as a teacher instructor, designing and teaching courses for a masters in mathematics education program.

Mathnasium can turn any struggling math student into the next Einstein of our time. Look, math is rarely easy, but just because something requires more effort does not make it harder. I wasn't the best math student myself, but going to math tutoring wholly turned around my grade. And with an average improvement rate of 88 percent, you'll see the difference. Help your kids, grades K to 12, have a strong foundation in math, and take them to Mathnasium.

G R A& C L E A C E THE INSPIRING STORY BEHIND HOW RICK AND MELISSA HINNANT TURNED TRAGEDY INTO VICTORY AND CONTINUE TO GIVE BACK THROUGH FASHION + STYLE 14

Green Valley Lifestyle | September 2018

THEIR “ACCIDENTAL COMPANY.” It’s what Melissa and Rick Hinnant call Grace & Lace— their successful fashion company that bloomed from great tragedy and a pair of boot socks.

Rick owned a landscaping company, and Melissa was in real estate. They decided it was time to slow down and start a family, but surprisingly to them, this took more time than they expected. After years of trying, Melissa finally had a healthy pregnancy, and the two were on their way to fulfilling a lifelong dream.

“IT WASN’T SOMETHING EITHER OF US SET OUT TO DO, BUT LOOKING BACK, IT’S LIKE EVERYTHING FELL INTO PLACE DESPITE THINGS FEELING LIKE THEY WERE—AT TIMES—FALLING APART.”

“One day, I was inspired to make a pair of boot socks for myself that had lace on the top of them peeking out of my boots,” Melissa says. “They took me eight hours to make and were a pain in the butt—I swore I’d never make another pair again. However, every time I wore them, women—total strangers—would stop me to ask where I bought these socks.”

Rick encouraged Melissa to sell them online, where people fell in love with both the socks and the story behind them. That’s how the “accidental business” started.

“It wasn’t something either of us set out to do, but looking back, it’s + Honeycomb Knit Sweater + Lightweight Two Fit Knit + Chiffon Hi/Low Extender

like everything fell into place despite things feeling like they were—at times—falling apart,” Melissa says.

In 2013, Rick and Melissa appeared on ABC’s hit show “Shark Tank” and developed an incredible partnership with self-made real estate millionaire and “Shark Tank” investor Barbara Corcoran. People were continuing to fall in love with the brand and its story. Grace & Lace went

WE ALL AT TIMES CAN ENJOY A SPECIALTY COCKTAIL OR CRAFT BEER WITH OUR FAVORITE BARTENDER AT OUR LOCAL PUB. And there's no shame in it; many a time we've had a few laughs and some good drinks.

Indeed, your local tavern, pub or bar is probably a welcome sight after a long day of work, to hang out with friends and family and to relax. And yet, with all the great times we experience, it's always the same old things.

Even at the local tavern level in Henderson, operations are much less personal. Everything seems to be run with a corporate emphasis on the “bottom line,” and less emphasis is placed on the personal relationships with clients that once were the hallmark of successful Las Vegas operations. However, there are at least some people out there who are willing to change that.
