Laura Sabia | laura.sabia@lifestylepubs.com EDITOR

A Fresh Start for Greenwich! WELL, Y'ALL, WE HAVE ARRIVED IN 2021! This past year felt both like it went by in a blur and like it would never end. But one thing is certain—we wouldn’t have made it to this turn of the year without the support of our incredible community. That’s you! This January, we want to take some time to focus on our health, your health, and Greenwich’s health. We all thrive when we work together and hold each other accountable. Make a point to check on your friends more often this month. Maybe instead of doing happy hour, you offer to meet up for a fitness class and support your local fitness studio. Maybe you ask for your family’s support as you begin the search for a therapist

FUN / NO FUN: CHILDREN’S BOOK ART BY JAMES STEVENSON The Bruce Museum is pleased to announce an exhibition of children’s book illustrations from the archives of artist, illustrator, and author James Stevenson (American, 1929-2017). Fun / No Fun: Children’s Book Art by James Stevenson will be on view to the public through Sunday, April 18, 2021. Stevenson was the author and illustrator of hundreds of children’s books that induce fits of giggles with silliness voiced with a simple honesty. Deftly drawn with an assured line and colored with soft watercolor washes, Stevenson’s whimsical sketches evoke a sense of memory and nostalgia.

Ups and downs, I toggled between thinking was this a good decision or a mistake. I persevered, something deep within my heart and soul told me to embrace my natural self with its” entirety. Letting the natural color of my hair shine through was one of the most liberating decisions I have ever made in my life. It was the impetus I needed to come full circle with total self-acceptance. I was tired of going with the flow of what society was dictating to be my self worth. No more double standards. Letting my natural hair be seen by all spoke volumes, it said, “this is me, take it or leave it, I am happy with myself”. A sense of inner peace and strength was my new anchor.

concepts relative to being strong and confident women. Lori told me, “People may choose all kinds of changes that speak to them on a personal level. A significant amount of our power comes from the moment to moment practice of deliberately deciding to own our choices. I call this radical ownership. What it means is that we pause before we make our choices, we firm up our stance with ourselves. We take our own temperature FIRST and intentionally decide if we can love the choice we’re about to make. A huge amount of power comes from no longer saying yes when we mean no. Most women are in the habit of making choices they don’t love or making the choice they want and then feeling bad or guilt about it. Radical ownership is our way out of the roller coaster ride of feeling bad, second guessing or thinking our choices still aren’t good enough. The practice is quite simple. The results;

products she suggested for natural hair were Dream Filter and Color Control Foam. www.colorwowhair.com/us/. Experimenting with different products that help infuse moisture and shine is helpful. Personally, my hair is healthier and easier to manage. Ironically my observation has been that women actually look younger with natural hair that looks chic. It matches their skin tone and ladies exude a confidence that is palpable. Any person, man or woman, who chooses to try to make healthy decisions will feel empowered to be the best version of themselves. Express yourself through authentic individuality in mind, body and spirit. Striving for balance and inner peace is right at our fingertips. Reach out and grab it!

elixir championed by everyone from Gwyneth Paltrow to moms in yoga pants, you might not have known that even the grocery store variety has a trace amount of alcohol (less than 0.5%). Rather than try to curb alcohol byproduct from fermentation, Jiant engineered a process to increase it to the equivalent of a light beer or hard seltzer, by taking its brews through a second fermentation. Whereas most kombucha is made with black tea and sugar, Jiant’s hard kombucha is brewed with highgrade organic green tea and sustainably-sourced honey, resulting in a much lighter and smoother taste that lacks the funkiness that can turn some people off from ‘booch.

brands to follow suit,” says Haertel Jr. That being said, Jiant’s intentions go well beyond virtue signaling as Haertel Jr. contends that at the end of the day “high-quality real ingredients simply taste a lot better than something made in a lab.” Since launching in Los Angeles in Summer 2019, Jiant has rapidly expanded from coast to coast and can now be found in Connecticut, California, Colorado, Utah, New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Massachussets, and Pennsylvania, with plans to expand to 20 more markets in 2021. Jiant is sold in over 1200 accounts and has national partnerships with prominent retailers such as Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Kroger, Total Wine, Sprouts, and Costco. You can typically find them at plenty of tastemaking bars and restaurants (editor’s note: it’s fantastic on draft) as well as cool and in-the-know bottle shops such as Cap, Cork, & Cellar in Greenwich. Haertel Jr. says that it’s an interesting time to be in the alcohol business. “The industry as a whole was already undergoing a major recalibration as brands, retailers, and distributors struggled to adapt to shifting consumer preferences. The pandemic has only accelerated some of these changes and I think the landscape is going to look quite different once the dust settles.” He says that Jiant has received tremendous support from its friends, family, and investors, many of whom are part of the Greenwich community. The brand’s strong retail partnerships and chain-focused strategy has also afforded them the ability to grow substantially though a very challenging period. However, Haertel Jr. says that he can’t wait for bars and restaurants to return in full force and how much Jiant is looking forward to helping them in their rebuilding efforts. “While grocery is what keeps the lights on for a brand like Jiant, it’s the independents accounts, resutatants, and bars that really are the soul of our industry. They are what make this endeavor worthwhile. The alcohol business is a total grind but when you walk into an account and see a frosty Jiant can in a patrons hands and people having a good time, there’s really no better feeling,” says Haertel Jr. Whether you’re in on hard kombucha or not, I think that’s a feeling that we would all like to get back to as soon as possible. You can find Jiant on Instagram @jiantcombucha or online at jiantkombucha.com.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is best known for his role in the advancement of civil rights using nonviolent civil disobedience. King has become a national icon in the history of American progressivism. Many schools, businesses, and government offices are closed during Martin Luther King Jr Day. Schools hold programs or teach curricula engaging students in Civil Rights history and lessons throughout the week.

Whether it’s a crossword, jigsaw, trivia, word searches, brain teasers or Sudoku, puzzles put our minds to work. Studies have found that when we work on a jigsaw puzzle, we use both sides of the brain. And spending time daily working on puzzles improves memory, cognitive function, and problem-solving skills.

THE PROLON FA S TI N G MIMICKING DIET ®

IF YOU’VE WATCHED THE GOOP LAB ON NETFLIX, THIS DIET MIGHT SOUND FAMILIAR TO YOU. Gwyneth Paltrow tried it and documented her experience in one episode. It’s a five-day fast mimicking program that includes plant-based meals. Each day is cutely packaged and must be taken in order. There is no swapping meals between boxes. The goal is the cleanse is to nourish your body and support healthy levels of metabolic markers, cellular rejuvenation and healthy aging! ProLon® is a 5-day dietary program that nourishes your body while promoting rejuvenating changes, including supporting metabolic balance. Here at Greenwich Lifestyle, we did it and here is how it went.

Each day, you’ll have an almond butter bar for breakfast, a plant-based soup for lunch (tomato or mushroom), and another veggie soup for dinner (minestrone or quinoa mix). There are snacks throughout (olives and kale crackers). And some nights, there’s a Chocolate Crisp bar after dinner. By the end of the second day, the chocolate crisp bar was something we longed for (it’s not that sweet— it’s just a special treat). The cleanse also includes herbal teas, supplements, and an energy drink that you add to water (based on your weight). Foodies might say that eating powdered soup for 5 days is dreadful, but we’ll do it for the instagram content. 34
