LIFESTYLE LETTER

Embrace Community: A Love Local Extravaganza I don't know about you, but this time of year, I am always torn. Torn between resisting the commercialization of another greeting card holiday and indulging in all the sweet excuses to enjoy the season. The perennial question looms large: to do a Valentine’s Day date out or enjoy a cozy night at home? To buy a card or just say a kind word? I usually find myself somewhere in between, navigating the delicate balance between tradition and authenticity. We’ll each arrive at different answers based on our preferences and personalities, but what we hold in common is an opportunity to make sure those around us know we love them.

Regardless of how you choose to celebrate, we hope the pages of this month's magazine will help you do just that as we celebrate and highlight what’s to love in your local community.

As we teeter between the chill of January Winter and the excitement of Spring, we hope you’ll be inspired to take a moment to come together with the people in your life.

The ones in your home and on your street. In your neighborhood and your community.

"Love local" means not only supporting your local businesses and community but also cherishing what is near and dear—those under your own roof included.

So grab a coffee at LeCitron and head home for a game night around the fire with the family. Or snag a bottle of wine from Comal Creek Vineyards and some cheese from Groumage, and indulge in a movie night in.

In the spirit of this month's theme, I want to share a personal reflection. One of my fondest memories is a quiet Valentine's Day spent at home, cooking a simple dinner with a loved one. It wasn't about grand gestures or expensive gifts, but the warmth of shared laughter and the joy of being together. It's a reminder that sometimes the most meaningful moments are the ones we create ourselves.

We've always believed that what we can do together is so much more than what we can do apart. And we continue to see that demonstrated through the many stories told in these pages month after month.

Thank you for letting us be a part of the life you’re building, whatever that may look like. Our hope is that we inspire you to love it just a bit more than you did before.

Happy February!

The TEA CHARMER SIP, SHOP, AND BE CHARMED: UNVEILING THE ENCHANTING WORLD OF TEA AT THE TEA CHARMER

ARTICLE BY JAYNA OWENS | PHOTOGRAPHY BY KATE WELLER

M UST SE E | FO O D + BEVE RAGE

T

homas Fuller once said, “A stitch in time saves nine.”

Universally, the world understands the meaning behind this quote. Take the time to face the problem as it arises. Wise words, but the execution tarries as we live in a culture that wears businesses, productivity, to do lists, and being constantly on the go as a badge of honor. A 15-minute break in stillness in the midst of our busy lives is for the weak. Or is it? Research has

consistently proven that increased productivity, contentment, new and creative ideas, increased problem-solving skills, and improved relationships are almost always found in a place of stillness.

The Tea Charmer is a locally owned boutique tea retail store nestled in the historic town of Gruene specializing in loose leaf teas, vintage tea-ware, and tea condiments for customers to purchase and make at home. The shop is truly an experience as every tea features tester jars where customers are able to smell, see,

and touch the beauty of the tea leaves.

There is even a vintage telephone booth to capture photos of our customer’s nostalgia experienced in the shop. It is designed for customers to come in and go from a place of wandering to refuge. To create a longing in our customers to find this same refuge within their own homes. This is a sacred place, where our customers discover beauty lies in its purest and simplest form. The whistling of a tea pot, organic tea leaves sifting through their fingers, and stillness. A timeless experience.

Sweetheart of Steaks ARTICLE BY SAMANTHA BOWERS

Savor the romance with perfectly seasoned steaks, grilled to perfection!

Using smoked salt can add a unique and delicious flavor to your steak.

Here’s a simple recipe for a perfect smoked salt-seasoned steak:

ingredients: • 2 thick-cut steaks (such as ribeye or sirloin) • Smoked salt & pepper mix; we like New Braunfels 7th Generations Smoked Salts

directions: Step 1. Bring the steaks to room temperature, ensuring even cooking. Pat them dry to enhance the sear. Generously season both sides with smoked salt and pepper mix.

Step 2. Preheat your grill or skillet until hot. Cook the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for a medium-rare result; adjust based on your desired doneness. In the final minute, add butter for extra richness.

Step 3. Once cooked, allow the steaks to rest for at least 5 minutes, letting the juices redistribute.

Step 4. Finally, slice against the grain and serve.

Feel free to personalize the recipe with additional herbs and spices to suit your tastes.

BOUTIQUES, HERITAGE, AND THE HEART OF LOCAL BUSINESS WITH KAT KYLE BALMOS

If you ever find yourself walking the streets of New Braunfels with a 6th generation local, you’re in for a treat. Local business owner and entrepreneur, Kat Kyle Balmos cannot hide her passion for the city as she points left and right with zealous excitement while walking between her boutiques. She calls attention to historical buildings, explaining their past, who owned them, what different businesses have come, gone, and stayed over the years, which building housed her family's different ventures, and more. Kat has made her entrepreneurial footprint in New Braunfels through her debut boutique, Lot 59, her thriving flagship store known as The Local, and her most recent venture, Heritage.

Kat’s journey into boutique ownership began with Lot 59, a unique space that blends vintage charm with contemporary flair. Reflecting on its inception, she shares, "Lot 59 was birthed out of necessity to provide for my daughter." This first venture was a testament to her retail acumen, mixing vintage and new items while showcasing the work of local vendors.

CONTINUED > FEB R UARY 2 0 2 4 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C O M / N BT X

25

In 2018 Kat began a new chapter by opening The Local. It quickly became her "flagship" store, offering a curated lifestyle atmosphere.

"The Local is 'the place' to find the perfect gift for anyone or memento from a trip to our beautiful town," she says. The success of The Local and the strength of her dedicated team paved the way for her latest boutique, Heritage.

"Heritage is not for everyone," she acknowledges, " It's darker in mood and atmosphere and definitely depicts that I'm older, a more mature businesswoman with a variety of tastes and am willing to take more risks."

Working in retail as a teenager, Kat found her passion for customers, fashion, and retail.

She worked her way through ranks and into management for two major national retailers, which has significantly influenced her approach to curating and managing her boutiques. She recalls, "It was amazing to work closely alongside designers, buyers, merchants, and executives carving out the brands and the importance of marketing, hiring, and creating an atmosphere within the stores."

Her early experiences taught her valuable lessons about effective management and team building. "It's the people," she emphasizes, "Find the right people that live the brand, teach them, treat them well, and let them feel a big part of the journey."

Being a 6th generation local with deeprooted family ties to New Braunfels, Kat has a unique perspective on the city's history and future. "I'm certainly proud to have grown up here," she shares, reflecting on her childhood and the growth that has transformed the town over the years. While acknowledging the challenges posed by growth, she recognizes the opportunities it brings. "Sure, I miss when it was small and not so overcrowded," she admits. "But I'm certain I wouldn't have been able to do what I've done without the growth." Kat emphasizes her commitment to contributing to the community's ongoing legacy "I feel a responsibility to add to this town in a positive way," she adds, recognizing her responsibility to contribute positively to the town’s unique character.

The Local has become a popular destination in New Braunfels' historic downtown, and Kat attributes the success to several key strategies.

"Downtown specifically is about maintaining its historic charm while being relevant in an 'online society'," she observes. To attract visitors to brick-and-mortar stores, she believes they must offer more than just products.

26

A RT IST ’S PA LE T T E | S HOPPIN G

She notes that the town's growth has created room for variety in retail, but it also calls for thoughtful planning. "It's so important that property owners are intentional on who they rent to and care about how it impacts the overall feeling of downtown," she advises. Kat also emphasizes the need for community involvement. "This is such a caring community," she says, "if they see you care and are working hard to add to this beautiful place... they will show up."

Kat has worked to perfect the balance of preserving the charm and character of historical locations while also staying innovative and meeting the expectations of her customer base. “It’s a tightrope walk of preserving and growing simultaneously,” she explains. “New Braunfels has a past and a history with stories, and we must protect what makes us unique and move forward at the same time to stay relevant,” she adds. Kat’s boutiques, each with its unique identity, contribute to the diverse spectrum of New Braunfels' retail environment. Through her dedication to preserving historical buildings and her vision for a vibrant and thriving New Braunfels, Kat Kyle Balmos continues to make a lasting impact on the place she calls home.

Four Seasons Bora Bora

Finding a life partner just might be easier than finding someone you can travel with.

When the stars align, both partners have an affinity for generally the same kind of vacation, or are willing to compromise.

Here are a few ideas for fabulously romantic getaways. Bon Voyage!

Reservations For Two Dreamy destinations for couples looking to get away.

The Willows

Four Seasons Bora Bora FourSeasons.com/BoraBora

Bora Bora, French Polynesia

At the Four Seasons Bora Bora, overwater bungalows line a glassy lagoon, inviting early-morning swims off your own private dock with a bright breakfast table set on your patio overlooking Mount Otemanu. Meander down the paths of the resort to the Te Mahana Spa. With breathtaking lagoon and Pacific Ocean views from twin infinity pools, the treatment begins with a foot massage and then continues with rebalancing rituals starring indigenous ingredients.

The Willows TheWillowsPalmSprings.com

The Pendry

Palm Springs, California

Originally a millionaire’s private luxury hideaway, the Italianate style mansions were built side-by-side. Rooms include oversized tiled showers, priceless antique pieces and a turndown service to make you feel like the royalty you are. Situated at the base of rugged Mt. San Jacinto with views of the Coachella Valley, The Willows is a perfect base for exploring the Palm Springs or hiking the Andreas or Big Morongo Canyons or nearby Joshua Tree. Open September through May.

The Pendry Pendry.com

Park City, Utah Pendry Park City is a contemporary mountain enclave bringing the mastery of Utah’s awe-inspiring landscape to new heights. The resort is nestled in the center of Canyons Village, with slopeside modernist design, luxury service and thoughtful amenities, ideal for a couple’s escape. Rejuvenate the body with Spa Pendry for a couples massage and enjoy the herbal steam room, relaxation spaces, complimentary refreshments, fitness center and access to the hotel rooftop pool and whirlpool, with stunning views of the mountains.

T R AV E L J OU R N A L | TRAV E L

Traveling can be as stressful as it is sublime. Exhausting as it is inspiring.

Traveling as a couple requires additional planning and communication with a healthy dose of patience. Much like marriage!

But, waking up in a faraway place, exploring unknown terrain together and leaving your routine and all its trappings behind can be therapeutic. You both can take on new roles and release tired habits.

PHOTOS VIDEOS SOCIAL MEDIA (210) 279-9198

1

Write new vows over lunch or take a random nap because you can.

2

Share planning and talk about your goals for the trip. Do you want to completely unplug or will one of you need excellent wifi to call into a few meetings?

3

If you’re parents, consider setting boundaries for texting and phone calls so you can put the phone away and immerse in one another. Let the kids know you will be checking your phone at a certain time each day (and stick to that).

Let the grandparents or caregivers handle the day to day drama.

4

Take turns charting a course for the day. On day one, you check museum opening times, get the timed tickets and find a nearby spot for a healthy lunch. On day two, you sit back and let your partner call the Uber and source out the perfect shopping district, walking distance to a park. Enjoy the ride, either way.

Unlock new depths of flavor with Texan hardwood smoked salt. Add a touch of sophistication to your recipes with this unique, handcrafted seasoning.
