LIFESTYLE LETTER

Happy Holidays!

December 2023 PUBLISHER

Sharon Duffy Thomas sharon.duffy@citylifestyle.com PUBLISHER ASSISTANT

The holidays are here and as the spirit of the season is among us, we often try to replicate what made the season feel so magical to us in our youth. The traditions we set for our own families often mirror some of what we experienced as a child whether it is the smells, the sounds, the lights, the holiday activities or a combination of it all that reflect that best. This month, we wanted to highlight the magic of the season and what our city has to offer that helps spread holiday cheer. While this season can be beautiful for some, it can be painful and lonely for others, especially those who have recently lost a loved one. In the true spirit of the season, let’s take care of those in our community that need assistance or who are alone. My hope for you this season is that you feel love and peace and that we all remember to take care of each other extending grace, empathy and love.

YOUR SMILE is our specialty

Smiles and Photo by Dr. Jensen

So you’ve been thinking about orthodontics as an adult. It can be scary to take the next step, but after hearing all the reasons to get adult ortho at Jensen Orthodontic Arts, you’re going to run (not walk) to your free consultation with Dr Jensen. Consider why orthodontics should be on your to-do list:

1. It’s Trending: Google “Ortho as an adult” and you’ll learn two things: It’s never too late to get your teeth straight AND, you aren’t alone if you want to get started as an adult. 2. It’s Affordable: You deserve the power of a beautiful smile and the fees shouldn’t hold you back. We provide excellent orthodontic treatment at reasonable prices. 3. It’s A Confidence Booster: The difference a straight grin can make in your personal and professional life is so impactful that you won’t want to push this item off your to-do list. 4. You Have Esthetic Treatment Options: Clear braces, Invisalign, Lingual (tongue-side) braces. 5. Your Teeth May Have Shifted After Braces: What else on our bodies doesn’t change with time?! Teeth wear, settle and shift over time if you don’t do something about it. 6. It’s Good For You: Enjoy better tooth health, avoid potential jaw pain, headaches, digestive issues, or even sleep apnea. At Jensen Orthodontic Arts, we don’t let anything hold you back from getting the straight smile you deserve.

Imagine Your Home Or Business With No Electricity Bill BECOME THE ENERGY BARON FOR YOUR HOME AND BUSINESS Why continue to “rent” one-time-use electricity from an unreliable grid, with rising electricity rates? Guarantee your electricity cost and ensure you always have power when you need it most with onsite solar generation plus a backup power solution. Ask your tax professional how a Tax Credit or Bonus Depreciation could offset your tax liability.

Now, when you’re “home-free” you can be “electricity-bill-free” too!

Discover ‘Tru’ Beauty With Personalized Spa Experience TRUMED SPA: WHERE SCIENCE MEETS RELAXATION

In the bustling world of beauty and wellness, it can be overwhelming to navigate the sea of options available. From creams and serums to surgical procedures, it’s sometimes hard to know what truly works and what is just a passing trend. With a dedication to science-backed treatments and individualized attention, local TruMed Spa professionals say they are transforming the med spa field. Located in McKinney and The Colony, TruMed Spa is the vision of Misty Bode, a passionate entrepreneur with a background in aesthetics. The success of the McKinney location prompted the opening of a second location in The Colony during October. Misty says she saw a need in the area for a higher-end, technologically advanced med spa that offered a wide array of services. “TruMed Spa aims to provide the same exceptional services at both locations, ensuring that clients have access to the best treatments, no matter where they are.” But why should people consider going to a med spa? Misty explains, “Skin health is everything. You can literally buy anything, like breast enhancements. But your skin, you are stuck with forever. Skin health is everything for long-term anti-aging measures.” Many people find themselves lost when it comes to skin care, unsure of what products to use or what

treatments to seek. Misty says TruMed Spa offers a solution to this issue with their free consultations. During these consultations, she says clients receive a comprehensive skin analysis that provides a 180-degree view of their skin’s health. This analysis allows the esthetician to create a personalized treatment plan based on the client’s goals, lifestyle, comfort level and budget. One of the key factors that sets TruMed Spa apart from other med spas, as noticed by consumers, is the commitment to safety and expertise. Misty emphasizes the importance of going to a reputable practice, highlighting the potential risks that come with careless procedures. Misty stresses at TruMed Spa, clients can rest assured they are in good hands. With a team of health care professionals and a medical director overseeing all treatments, Misty says TruMed Spa prioritizes the health and safety of its clients above all else. In addition to their focus on safety, the TruMed Spa staff prides themselves on staying at the forefront of technology. Misty and her team verify that they constantly educate themselves on the latest advancements in the industry, ensuring they can offer the most innovative and effective treatments to their clients. TruMed Spa offers a wide range of treatments, each tailored to address specific concerns and deliver exceptional results. One such treatment is Sofwave, a cutting-edge ultrasound technology that kickstarts the body’s collagen production, resulting in smoother, softer and firmer skin. This non-invasive procedure provides the look of a facelift without the need for surgery, making it an ideal option for those who want to rejuvenate their appearance without downtime. With Sofwave, Misty says clients can have the treatment and go back to their daily activities immediately, thanks to its integrated cooling mechanism that protects the skin’s surface. Another popular treatment at TruMed Spa is CoolPeel, a non-surgical approach to reducing the appearance of wrinkles, improving skin tone and diminishing sun damage. By using fractional technology, Misty says CoolPeel targets specific areas while leaving the surrounding skin intact. “This innovative laser treatment provides smoothness and radiance in one step, making it a go-to option for those looking for a skin refresh.” The TruMed Spa team also offers FDA-approved procedures for eliminating stubborn fat. Misty says

S ELF CA R E | BEAU TY


CoolSculpting Elite uses controlled cooling to reduce resistant fat in the treated area by 20 to 25 percent, resulting in a sculpted physique. EmSculpt NEO, on the other hand, she says burns fat and builds muscle mass simultaneously, providing comprehensive body contouring in just 30 minutes. “These treatments are perfect for those who struggle with stubborn fat that does not respond to diet and exercise alone,” she adds. TruMed Spa doesn’t stop at skin care and body contouring. They also offer a range of services to address other concerns. Their signature facials are customizable to each client’s specific needs, targeting issues such as aging, acne, sun damage and hydration. Misty says TruMed Spa utilizes state-of-the-art treatments such as Hydrafacials, Oxygeneo, and Diamond Glo Products to help clients achieve younger, smoother and more radiant skin. For those looking to combat wrinkles and fine lines, TruMed Spa offers a wide range of injectables, including Botox and dermal fillers. These treatments provide natural-looking results, reducing visible wrinkles and restoring youthful volume to the face. Additionally, TruMed Spa offers laser hair removal for those who are self-conscious about unwanted facial or body hair. Their laser hair removal specialists customize treatment plans to meet each individual’s needs, making it an effective solution for patients with fair skin and dark hair. TruMed Spa is viewed as going beyond traditional med spa services by offering a unique experience at their TRU Drip Lounge. Clients can relax in a massage chair while receiving customized IV hydration drips. Misty says these drips help replenish, restore and detoxify the body more effectively than drinking water alone, making them a perfect complement to the other treatments offered at TruMed Spa. With a team of 11 dedicated employees across both locations, Misty states the approachable and knowledgeable staff ensures every client feels comfortable and confident in their treatment plan. “At TruMed Spa, we believe that everyone is unique and deserves a personalized approach to their skin care journey, taking into account their individual needs, lifestyle and budget.” Misty asserts there is something for everyone at TruMed Spa. “Whether you’re looking to improve your skin’s health, sculpt your body or simply pamper yourself, TruMed Spa has the expertise and technology to help you achieve your goals.”

‘Tis the season for finding perfect gifts. As Christmas approaches, the joy of discovering something unique and special for loved ones comes. But for some consumers, holiday shopping can be overwhelming and stressful. The Griffin Jewelry team members say they’re dedicated to making Christmas shopping experience a breeze. Celebrating the store’s 39th Christmas in McKinney, for many, Griffin Jewelry has become a beloved part of the local tradition. From timeless classics to contemporary styles, the store offers a diverse selection of jewelry designs. Cherye Griffin Walker, a second-generation owner, says Griffin Jewelry is an established go-to destination for holiday shopping needs. The store’s extensive collection encompasses fine jewelry and fashion jewelry, providing customers with an abundant selection to find great gifts for anyone. The Griffin Jewelry staff understands the importance of finding that one-ofa-kind gift. “Our customers have come to realize that they can wait until two days before Christmas, and we will have a gift that is unique and within their budget,” Cherye shares. At Griffin Jewelry, located in Eldorado Plaza, 2811 Craig Drive, every piece is different and unlike anything found at other stores, assures Cherye. Handpicked with care, the store’s selection guarantees uniqueness and affordability, surpassing the mere convenience of online shopping, she adds. What many customers state that sets Griffin Jewelry apart is the staff’s personalized approach. Cherye explains, “We listen to the customer, ask questions about who they are buying for,


and are highly experienced in picking the perfect gift.” When customers leave the store, they should feel confident that they have chosen a piece that someone will truly love. Griffin Jewelry goes beyond just purchasing; they offer a full range of services, such as sizing, shortening chains, soldering and special orders, ensuring each gift is tailored to perfection. Griffin Jewelry not only caters to special people in customers’ lives, they also offer a diverse range of options for teachers and coworkers. With items available for every budget, fashion pieces start at less than $20, while fine jewelry can range up to $20,000. Cherye emphasizes, “We treat every customer the same, no matter their budget. The gift is important to them, and we go above and beyond in the customer service department.” Griffin Jewelry was awarded the McKinney Chamber of Commerce “Small Business of the Year” Award in 2019. “We just want to make buying Christmas gifts stress-free. Many customers come in overwhelmed and intimidated, so we try to make it easy for them,” says Cherye. “When they leave, they feel like that was an easy process.” She says Griffin Jewelry has become Collin County’s location for wedding jewelry, including engagement and wedding bands. During Christmas, she adds that Griffin Jewelry sees a significant demand for engagement rings as gifts. Many people choose this time to propose because they are surrounded by their families. “We take great pleasure in assisting our customers in making this special purchase, as engagement rings are among the most significant pieces one will ever buy,” says Cherye. “Even during the busy holiday season, we ensure to allocate time for this important process.” Customers come to Griffin Jewelry from throughout the North Texas area. Some of the store’s longtime customers, who have moved away, even call to have gifts shipped. Cherye rejects the

It was 1985 when Jack and Fran Griffin opened their jewelry store. In 2007, the reins of the family business were turned over to their daughter, Cherye Walker.

Paula and Tim Michel

Glass Solutions From Designs To Installations Collin County Glass: Local Experts For Custom Shower Doors, Mirrors And Windows ARTICLE BY AMY SCHMIDT | PHOTOGRAPHY BY CATHERINE CHONG

Tim Michel is not one to openly brag about what he has done for local communities. Customers of family-owned Collin County Glass indicate Tim is committed to helping them create luxurious spa-like bathrooms with customized, frameless shower enclosures; however, they may not realize he helps local groups in ways not as crystal-clear as the glass he uses in these showers and windows. Tim provides precision-fit shower enclosures that transform even small bathrooms into bright and open sanctuaries. "Custom-fit glass used in frameless showers is sturdier than traditional showers," he explains. “Many of our customers select low-iron glass

to provide maximum clarity with higher visible light transmittance than traditional clear glass." Protecting customers is nothing new for Tim, who was a volunteer firefighter for five years. So when Frisco Fire Department representatives contracted with Collin County Glass for the installation of the Central Station showers, Tim was able to help Frisco Fire staffers meet their budget with nearly at-cost pricing, a gesture of gratitude for their unwavering dedication and sacrifice.

communities, extending generous discounts to first responders and military personnel, as well as serving in their local church where Tim can be found playing keyboard in two services each Sunday. Collin County Glass also recently sponsored his church’s golf tournament benefiting the group’s upcoming youth mission trip. He also donates to the St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, and has contributed to Frisco Education Foundation. “We’ve lived in Collin County for over 40 years. Our children went through Frisco schools. We reinvest into our community,” says Tim. “Our customers appreciate the equally impressive commitment to their projects,” Tim says, adding that his crew takes great pride in their work, addressing customer concerns, providing solutions to customized projects, such as oversized gym mirrors, dresser mirrors and even a glass-enclosed trophy case for a Prosper ISD Middle School. “We help our customers make customized, yet affordable, aesthetic upgrades in time for holiday guests, help add to curb appeal when selling a home, or even get the most out of insurance claims,” Tim explains. “We’re quick and efficient, from first contact to quote to installation, while providing cost-efficient, high-quality work that’s as seamless and beautiful as our shower enclosures,” Paula assures. The business covers all areas in Collin County, including McKinney, Prosper, Frisco, Allen, Anna, Celina, Fairview, Melissa, Plano and Princeton. “We do one thing, and we do it well, as experts in shower doors, mirrors and windows for

bathroom enhancements without the time and expense of a full remodel,” Tim vows.

COLLIN COUNTY GLASS DELIVERABLES PRECISION-FIT GLASS SHOWER DOORS Precision-fit shower doors and enclosures are wall-mounted using thicker, sturdier glass that requires no metal frame. Minimal and discreet hardware help create seamless, modern designs that open up and brighten small spaces.

ENDLESS DESIGN POSSIBILITIES Collin County Glass offers a diverse selection of glass textures and coatings, numerous hinge and door handle combinations, and a wide array of elegant finish choices to showcase customers’ style and personality.

SPA-LIKE OASIS Seamless, crystal-clear glass enclosures eliminate the need for outdated metal frames and heavy shower curtains. Frameless showers and doors enhance the overall atmosphere of a bathroom, creating a bright, updated, luxurious oasis.

BUDGET-FRIENDLY REFRESH Simply updating bathroom mirrors, windows and shower enclosures can add to a home’s value at a fraction of the cost of a full remodel. Additionally, low-e (low-emissivity) bathroom windows help protect from UV rays and keep electric bills at bay. Free estimates from the Collin County Glass team can be scheduled online. 214.534.4444 CollinCountyGlass.com

Make Christmas Memories Together At Gaylord Texan Advice Editorial: Head For Holiday Vacation Everyone Will Enjoy ARTICLE BY KARA WITHEROW | PHOTOGRAPHY BY GABBY KEMPTER

M UST SE E | EN TERTA INME NT


Perry Como may have crooned, “(There’s No Place Like) Home for the Holidays,” but a trip to Gaylord Texan Resort, with its festive decor, seasonal dining and original holiday experiences may be even better than staying home. This year, let someone else do the cooking and cleaning. Gather the family, pack the bags and head out of town for a Christmastime vacation everyone will enjoy.

FESTIVE FUN FOR ALL

CLOSE TO HOME, BUT WORLDS APART

FOR THE THRILL SEEKERS:

Standing on the shores of the majestic Lake Grapevine, Gaylord Texan is a perfect choice for families looking for a fun holiday getaway close to home. Through Dec. 31, 2023, the resort transforms into a wondrous holiday haven with acres of décor, live entertainment and immersive activities for all ages.

ICE! FEATURING DR. SEUSS’ “HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS!” The coolest attraction of all is ICE! featuring Dr. Seuss’ “How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” This holiday spectacle, kept at 9 degrees and hand carved by artisans out of 2 million pounds of brightly colored ice, is back again this season.   And there’s no need to pack coats (scarves, gloves and extra apparel are suggested for those who tend to get cold). Even though it’s chilly inside, Gaylord Texan provides parkas to keep guests comfortable as they marvel at larger-than-life displays, take cherished photos, and wander through the one-of-a-kind, arctic attraction.

ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY Love a Broadway-style spectacle? An original Gaylord Hotels production, Cirque: Spirit of Christmas features amazing acrobatics and feats of flexibility. Designed for the entire family to enjoy, the story centers around Noel, a child dismayed by the hustle and bustle of the holidays. A heartwarming story that soars through the air and sparkles with imagination, this 45-minute show

will delight and dazzle with a riveting score, worldclass contortionists, jugglers, trapeze artists and more.

With signature events, classic holiday activities, and thrilling experiences, there’s something for everyone to enjoy during So. Much. Christmas. at Gaylord Texan Resort.

• Hop on a tube and race friends down a snowcovered hill.   • Put those sleuthing skills to the test in one of three festive escape rooms. • Enjoy a yuletide glide on the indoor ice-skating rink.   • Build and toss real snowballs at Snowball Build & Blast.

FOR THE CHILL SEEKERS:   • Let the Christmas creativity run wild at the Gingerbread Decorating Corner.   • Search high and low at the resort-wide The Grinch’s Wonderful Awful Idea Scavenger Hunt. • Take a spin on the Christmas Carousel. • At Elf Training Academy, create a keepsake craft and learn how to become one of Santa’s helpers.

SO. MUCH. CHRISTMAS.   After a festive day of memory making, unwind with a meal at Old Hickory Steakhouse, Riverwalk Cantina, Texas Station, or Zeppole before seeing the holidays light up the night at theLIT Light Show. This dynamic, celebratory light show brings the fun of decorating the tree to life through thousands of dancing lights, culminating in a delightful and memorable tree lighting experience. This season, give a gift that can’t be wrapped but will be remembered forever. Unwrap the magic of Christmas at Gaylord Texan. 817.778.1000

Through Dec. 31, the Gaylord Texan resort transforms into a wondrous holiday haven with acres of décor, live entertainment and immersive activities for all ages.

The City Lifestyle

Giving Campaign

2023 42

G IV IN G BAC K | L IFE + CULTURE


“

This Giving Campaign is all about personally impacting the lives of people we know with an unexpected check in the mail just to say that someone thought of them this holiday season.”

The annual City Lifestyle Giving Campaign is in its 4th year. Last holiday season we gave away over $300,000 to help 116 individuals and families in need, but we need your help to make it happen again this year. With nominations flooding in from community members and leaders such as judges, police officers, teachers, nurses, social workers, mentors and readers like you, we were able to reach people who might otherwise go unnoticed. Perhaps you know of a single parent struggling to provide for their family, an elderly person who has experienced loss, someone enduring a health issue, a co-worker suffering a sudden, unexpected tragedy or a neighbor with a financial hardship who has fallen between the cracks of getting assistance. Chances are you know someone with a specific need, even if no one else does. “We believe in giving back and serving the communities where we live in a real and tangible way,” says Steven Schowengerdt, CEO and founder of City Lifestyle. “This Giving Campaign is about personally impacting the lives of people we know with an unexpected check in the mail just to say that someone thought of them during this holiday season.” “We believe God has blessed our company with continued success, so we in turn want to be a blessing to others,” Matthew Perry, President of City Lifestyle adds. City Lifestyle has also enacted an internal giving program whereby every employee in the company receives $100 to give away to someone in the community. “The idea is to encourage our employees to keep giving on their own,” Steven says. “Taking care of one another and blessing others is truly rewarding and it perpetuates a cycle of giving. It’s extremely important to me as a person and as a company to foster a culture of generosity.”
