THE MAGIC MICRO CROTON OIL PEEL

This cosmetic treatment utilizes croton oil, a substance derived from the croton plant. It’s designed to improve the appearance and texture of the skin. The Micro Croton Oil Peel is considered one of the best peels for those with specific skin concerns that require deep exfoliation and rejuvenation. Consultations are recommended before undergoing this treatment to ensure it’s suitable for your skin type and to understand the aftercare requirements.

BENEFITS

IMPROVES SKIN TEXTURE

Helps smooth rough skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells.

ENHANCES SKIN BRIGHTNESS

By exfoliating the skin, it brightens dull skin, giving it a more radiant and youthful appearance.

MINIMIZES ACNE SCARS:

Helps reduce the appearance of acne scars and other skin blemishes bypromoting cell turnover and collagen production.

REAL WORLD RESULTS

“After spending tons of money trying to get rid of this mom’s terrible melasma after pregnancy, this peel completely cured her aesthetic insecurities. She now has flawless skin, and walks with confidence wearing no make-up.”

REDUCES HYPERPIGMENTATION

Can lighten or completely eliminate age spots, and other forms of hyperpigmentation, resulting in an even skin tone.

STIMULATES COLLAGEN PRODUCTION

The peel stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, essential proteins for maintaining skin’s firmness and elasticity.

PROMOTES SKIN RENEWAL

Accelerates the natural process of skin renewal resulting in fresher and healthier skin.

IMPROVES SKIN TONE AND CLARITY

Helps even out skin tone and improves overall skin lucidity.

Wear it wisely

The dress I'm wearing in this photo is over 15 years old. I got it at Forever 21- probably the last time I shopped there- for about $20. To this day, it's my go-to LBD.

To me, style doesn't need to come with a high price tag. At age 21, when I got my first job as a TV news anchor in Yuma, I made $7 an hour. I basically rotated through the same black pants paired with different tops (no one saw my pants anyway because the desk covered it). However, presenting myself with professionalism was always a priority, so I made it work.

When I worked in TV news in Phoenix, I was a morning show traffic anchor. I had staple items spanning oversized belts, leopard print blouses, and colorful dresses. Viewers enjoyed voicing their opinions, and I often got love emails complimenting my ensembles, partnered with hate mail ripping my style choices apart. People can be mean! Tough skin for the win.

Now that I'm old(er), I find style is all about what makes me feel confident. That's the beautiful thing about clothes- they truly have an emotional impact on how you feel about yourself. In addition, my accessory choices are all meaningful... my wedding ring, something representative of my sons and often a Hamsa symbolizing protection.

For our Style issue, I was determined to spotlight a rockstar designer on our coversomeone who appreciates color, pops of pizazz and feminine sophistication. I also wanted to feature someone who balances work, life, motherhood and all the things... I love supporting women who wear many hats (and wear them all fantastically).

I took a stab at reaching out to my #1 choice- Stacey Bendet- assuming my message would filter to spam. However, Stacey responded directly excited to partake.

Stacey is the mastermind creator behind the celeb-adored brand, alice + olivia. She's utterly fabulous- I hope you enjoy her interview!

Also in this issue are features on local designers... PXG's Renee Parsons, Mill & Habs' Ellie White, and Pacific Heritage Boutique's Jessie West. The City Scene section is dedicated to news anchor style, and we also share insight on creating a stylish home rich in greenery and great interiors. Plus, we scored a fashion infused piece with our beloved Diamondbacks. Remember, style is an expression of individuality, revealing who you are without uttering a single word. Wear it wisely.

THE QUICK FIX: PLASTIC SURGERY BEFORE AN IMPORTANT EVENT

Injectables and Skin Resurfacing

K2 Adventures Foundation Announces Fall Fundraising Events

In general, Botox, filler, and facials are safe to perform within 1-2 weeks of the event. These minor procedures can improve fine lines, increase lip or cheek volume, and restore the overall “glow” of your face quickly.

Breast Augmentation

Looking to fill out that bathing suit or brand-new dress? Breast augmentations can make a “big” difference with minimal downtime. The overall improvement in the size and shape of your breasts is immediate and the healing scar is well hidden. Breast lifts and reductions also have instant gratification, although strenuous activities are usually restricted for 3-4 weeks for these procedures.

Eyelid Surgery

Looking tired or do you have heavy set eyes? The upper eyelid procedure (blepharoplasty) gets rid of “hooding” to make your eyes brighter and your appearance more youthful. Swelling and bruising often resolves in 2 weeks. A lower lid blepharoplasty can also be performed to get rid of “heavy under eye bags”, but the recovery is slightly longer.

Mini Neck Lift

Is a SMALL double chin bothering you? Using a combination of liposuction, radiofrequency skin tightening, and platysmaplasty (neck muscle tightening) a tight jawline can be restored. With mini neck lifts, only a small incision under the chin and ears are needed. By 4 weeks post-op, most patients look great. It should be noted though that not everyone is a candidate for a mini lift. Facelifts and regular neck lifts (i.e. for big double chins or turkey necks) require about 6 weeks before you are photo ready.

Any major surgeries?

I have personally performed nose jobs, breast lifts, tummy tucks, mommy makeovers, and fat grafting for several brides as early as 6 WEEKS before their weddings! They looked and felt phenomenal. I would never recommend these procedures so close to an important event, but I can often work my magic on a deadline. However, a “time buffer” is important when possible.

Have something special on the calendar and want to look your best? Here are the do’s and don’t of Plastic Surgery before a big occasion. 9250 N 3rd Street #1003 Phoenix, AZ 85020 | (602) 331-7811

If you ’ ve been reading the news or checking out our Palestini Law Instagram, you ’ re probably aware of a new Ford option coming soon that plays police.

Yes, Ford has filed for a patent for an in-car system that would allow the car itself to become the vessel for measuring and reporting the speed of vehicles And yes, it’s true that these reports will lead to traffic stops.

However, it isn’t built to report on the vehicle it’s built into, but rather on other vehicles

The initial newsy headlines were all clickbait - all Ford did was design a radar gun and camera system that can be built into the frontend of the next wave of Ford-based police vehicles, allowing officers to simply switch to a monitoring channel on their in-vehicle display that would capture pictures and videos of anyone speeding near the police vehicle In essence, the police cruiser becomes a traveling photo-radar booth.

Arizona boasts many scenic open stretches that often result in your foot hitting the pedal, but that pedal to the metal can often backfire.

Interestingly enough, according to reports during their beta phase, Waymo vehicles were doing the exact same thing, allegedly as part of the autonomous driving program training... but what actually became of that data may never be known. As far as anyone knows, Waymo footage was never used during training to issue any citations, but the idea that it could have done so was enough for Ford to pursue developing the technology.

Here are Palestini Law, we ’ re all about the joy of the open road (safely), freedom, and justice So if you find yourself on the end of a high-tech, or even a low-tech, speeding ticket, call us today, where you’ll never deal with an automated system.

STACEY BENDET: ALICE + OLIVIA’S VIBRANT VISIONARY

A Fashion

Icon

ARTICLE BY NADINE BUBECK | PHOTOGRAPHY BY RONY ALWIN

Stacey Bendet

Imagine a wardrobe where every piece feels like a celebration- a mix of bold prints, pops of color, and unexpected silhouettes that transform everyday dressing into an art. That’s the vibrant vibe of alice + olivia by Stacey Bendet, a brand synonymous with a playful yet polished aesthetic.

We sought to connect with the trendy trailblazer redefining modern femininity, Stacey Bendet, CEO & Creative Director, alice + olivia.

Stacey is a visionary icon whose eclectic sense of style and innovative design approach has made her a leading force in contemporary women’s fashion. In addition to being a wife and mom, she’s also passionate about philanthropy and the Founder of Creatively, a networking platform for the creative industry.

Here’s our exclusive chat with the esteemed designer.

CONTINUED >

Stacey Bendet

IN 2002, YOU STARTED ALICE + OLIVIA BY STACEY BENDET. YOU HAVE SINCE EVOLVED THE COMPANY TO BEING A STAPLE OF STYLE. HOW DOES THIS MAKE YOU FEEL?

I’m proud of what I’ve built, proud of our team, and proud of our product. As much as I love to make beautiful clothes, I want to make women feel great when they put them on.

DID YOU ALWAYS WANT TO BE A FASHION DESIGNER?

My dad, grandfather, and great grandfather were in the textile import business, so I grew up around beautiful fabric.

My dad always fueled my creativity and encouraged me to focus on art and doing things I love. He told me to follow my passion, and given work is a huge percentage of your day, to do something that made me happy. If you can take what you love and make that your work, it never feels like work.

WHAT DOES ALICE + OLIVIA REPRESENT?

What your wear is your personal art- what you share about yourself to the world. My design style allows women to express themselves through color, silhouette, and style. My hope is that each piece can be worn by different women in different ways.

alice + olivia Fall Launches

Stacey Bendet

Our clothes are about empowering women and allowing women to empower themselves. When women put things on that feel feminine, are colorful, and fit well, they encompass the best versions of themselves.

BEING A GIRL MOM AND ROCK STAR ENTREPRENEUR, WHAT KIND OF PARENT ARE YOU?

I raise each of my children individually. You must raise the child you have, not the child you think you could have. My girls are at different schools and do different activities. I hope to raise them as independent, strong, and thoughtful, while encouraging them to be who they are.

HOW DO YOU HOPE YOUR ICONIC SENSE OF FASHION IMPACTS GENERATIONS TO COME?

Our brand is for women of all ages; my daughters wear our jeans, tanks, and some of our dresses, but their grandmothers wear our jackets, blouses, and shoes.

I recently did the most epic event for Paris Hilton and her new album; it was a special night. We’ve dressed many musicians and celebrities; it’s always fun having them frequent our stores. However, I’m excited every time I see any woman in our clothes.

DESCRIBE YOUR SIGNATURE STAPLES.

My personal favorite look is a rocker tee, cool coat, bell-bottoms, and my iconic belt. But then I also love a big, beautiful skirt and tank top. My vibe is rock and roll meets timeless and elegant.

For fall and winter, we’re going to see a lot of animal prints- snake and leopard- in addition to large-scale floral prints.

WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

When you’re a creative person, creativity is like stream of consciousness; it’s always evolving and always around you. It’s watching, seeing, and absorbing.

PLEASE SHARE SOME INSIGHT INTO YOUR COLLABORATION WITH TOM WESSELMANN.

I’m a big fan of his art and am excited to use his talent as inspiration. I look at his prints and think: that would be amazing as a long dress! Expect 60s retro... sequins, tweed, metallic jacquard gowns, color block jackets and embellished brocade skirts- the collab is truly art unto itself!

TELL US ABOUT YOUR BIGFEELINGS COLLECTION.

The sleep to streetwear line supports different charities as I value giving back.

WHAT DOES SCOTTSDALE’S ALICE + OLIVIA STOREFRONT MEAN TO YOU?

Scottsdale is a booming scene with a youthful spirit. I have a lot of friends and ties to Arizona and feel the Valley community is really excited for our store!

HOBBIES OUTSIDE FASHION?

I’m a big yogi. I also like studying science as it pertains to skin care; my friends refer to me as an investigator of nutritional science.

STYLE ADVICE FOR PEOPLE THAT NEED HELP IN THE WHATTO-WEAR DEPARTMENT?

Think about what you’re most comfortable in. What makes you feel like the best

version of you? I always encourage people to start there and then carefully curate a look. You don’t want to wear 80s jeans and a 70s style jacket – don’t mix the wrong things together.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE ACCESSORY?

OMG I’ve been really into vintage Fendi bags and bought this amazing embroidery one.

HOW DO YOU HOW DO YOU DEFINE SUCCESS?

Success is not by how high you’ve climbed, but how far you’ve come. aliceandolivia.com

BACK IN ACTION:

Ready to Run After Beating Back Pain

INTRODUCING THE DISCSEEL® PROCEDURE

AM I A CANDIDATE FOR THE PROCEDURE?

Low back pain doesn’t need to dominate your life. Any person with chronic low back pain is a potential candidate. A person with low back pain who wants to avoid surgery or still has low back pain following back surgery is a potential candidate.

WHAT ARE COMMON CAUSES OF LOWER BACK PAIN?

The cushions in our spine are called discs and degenerated, damaged or leaky discs are the most common cause of low back pain. The Discseel® Procedure uses biologics to seal disc tears and promote healing of those torn discs. This revolutionary procedure treats the source of the problem, naturally, and non-surgically.

WHAT IS THE SUCCESS RATE?

82% of Discseel® Procedure patients report an improvement and a reduction in overall pain.

Dr. Wolff is dubbed the first Master Instructor for the Discseel® Procedure, a non-surgical outpatient treatment for chronic low back pain resulting from damaged discs.

FROM REALITY TV TO MARITAL BLISS, MEET THE VALLEY COUPLE THAT’S CRUSHING IT AT LOVE AND LIFE

HAPPILY EVER AFTER

The red rose wasn’t in the cards for Chase McNary who competed on The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise However, his longing for love was fulfilled after meeting the Valley’s Ellie White. In July, the couple wed in Dillon, Colorado.

“CHASE

had a “Man of Honor.” Our first dance was to Jason Aldean’s “You make it Easy.”

DESCRIBE YOUR BRIDE STYLE.

My dress was by Galia Lahav. Julia Ward, owner of Muse Extension Lounge Phoenix, took the lead on my locks and

IS MY ROCK, MY HOME, AND MY BEST FRIEND.”

“Loveland Pass is where he first said, ‘I love you;’ it’s also where he proposed. We couldn’t think of a better place to marry than those very mountains,” said the newly Mrs. Ellie McNary.

We caught up with Ellie on her love story, wedding, and booming hat biz.

WHAT MADE YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH CHASE?

Chase is my rock, my home, and my best friend. Because of him, I found the courage to pursue my dreams. We both love the outdoors, daring activities we call “Chellie Adventures,” and 5am gym sessions.

WHAT MADE YOUR WEDDING UNIQUE?

We are not stiff people and wanted our wedding to reflect our non-traditional style.

We got married at 11,500 ft elevation and my brother walked me down the aisle. Chase had a “Best Woman,” and I

I can’t rave enough about her utter hair talent. She is the Valley’s best for natural looking extensions!

SINCE RETIRING FROM REALITY TV, CHASE IS NOW A MANAGING PARTNER AT KJ1, SPEARHEADING LARGE SCALE PROJECTS. AS FOR YOU... YOU’RE CRUSHING IT AS A HAT DESIGNER! TELL US ABOUT MILL & HABS.

Mill & Habs is my designer hat brand. We curate high-end 100% American handmade hats by our in-house Milliner.

Our process is special because we get raw felts, dye them, hand block them to size, hand-shape them, sew in headbands, fire distress them, hand sand them... and then on the backend, we design them. We are known for our custom-made department where we build and design hats specifically for each client after a one-on-one consultation.

CONTINUED >

“EACH HAT IS HANDBUILT WITH THE HIGHESTGRADE MATERIALS.”

HOW DID YOU START YOUR COMPANY?

It started out of our home’s carport. I never intended on launching a big business; I simply loved the art of millinery and building things with my hands. However, people were literally wanting to buy hats off my head and Chase finally convinced me to build the brand.

Within a year, I outgrew my home studio, opened my Scottsdale showroom, and am now considering expanding! Life clicks into place when you find your purpose and do what you love.

WHAT WENT INTO DESIGNING YOUR WEDDING HAT?

I chose my timeless Signature High Side shape on the crown. I took a scrap of hand stitched floral from my wedding dress and implemented it on the side of the hat and laser engraved “11,500” into the felt representing where we got married along with, “I did, I do & I will.”

WHAT MAKES MILL & HABS HATS UNIQUE?

Mill & Habs is not a “hat bar;” we build our hats versus buy them pre-made. Each hat is crafted with the highest-grade materials spanning the felt selection to the gold and sterling silver pendants. Often requested styles include greendyed felts, monocratic designs, and flat brimmed fedoras.

DOES CHASE SPORT MILL & HABS?

Yes! You can also catch him sporting our MH trucker hats.

PXG APPAREL

DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONAL GOLF STYLE.

Fashion, fit, and performance are paramount when it comes to my golf style and was the impetus for founding PXG Apparel. I wanted to create apparel that addressed a significant gap in the golf apparel market, especially for women, while also creating clothing that speaks to golfers and non-golfers alike.

On the golf course, I want to feel stylish and equipped with attire that enhances my play. PXG Apparel embodies this philosophy with pieces that are tailored to the modern golfer and meticulously crafted to be fashionable and functional. We value incorporating performance enhancing features like concealed compartments, breathable, UV technology, and smart snap closures.

Most importantly, I want to feel confident on the golf course. Our collections are not just about looking good; the pieces are designed to make the wearer feel confident and perform their best. Golf is an extremely mental game and confidence is paramount to achieving success on the course.

Breathtaking Transformations Perfectly Styled.

We also aim for versatility that goes beyond the golf course. PXG clothing is created to be wearable no matter what your activity may be.

DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE OFF THE COURSE.

Off the course, I would describe my personal style as classic with a modern, chic edge. I have a deep appreciation for clean, timeless silhouettes like a Dior Bar Jacket, or sweaters and dresses from our new PXG Fall/Winter 2024 collection. I enjoy experimenting with the latest looks from the runways, in addition to blending classic styles with trend-driven sophisticated pieces.

TELL US ABOUT THE PXG APPAREL FALL/WINTER 2024 COLLECTION.

Our Fall/Winter 2024 Collection is all about elegance and versatility, designed with individuality in mind. The collection beautifully marries a nostalgic, classic country club-esque charm with contemporary flair, featuring updated silhouettes, luxurious fabrications, and meticulous detailing. The result is a sophisticated, modern, and polished aesthetic that I’m excited to share with our customers.

CONTINUED >

WHAT’S THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE FALL/ WINTER COLLECTION?

PXG Apparel’s Fall/Winter 2024 Collection pushes the boundaries of classic golf apparel. Reminiscent of old English 1920’s traditional styles, there is a collegiate nostalgia vibe infused with a modern edge that makes each piece elegant yet cutting-edge. This is what makes us unique within the golf apparel industry - we are the brand that transitions with you from the golf course to the boardroom or an evening out with friends.

WHAT COLORS AND STYLES ARE WE SEEING IN PXG’S NEW COLLECTION?

The Fall/Winter 2024 exclusive seasonal hues draw inspiration from the stunning desert landscape of Scottsdale. This palette features captivating marigold yellow, luxurious orchid, warm rust, dynamic blues, and timeless taupe. These seasonal colors bring a vibrant enhancement to our signature PXG palette of black, white, and shades of gray.

For our female clientele, standout trenddriven styles include a fashionable black “caddy” jumpsuit, elongated pleated skirts and dress, a skirt pant hybrid, and collegiate-style two-in-one sweaters and pullovers. For our male customers, we offer our signature PXG polos in an array of colors, along with sharp outerwear pieces featuring suede-like trims and brass button details, English plaid references, and slim trouser pants.

Performance fabrics are breathable, machine washable and include quick dry, moisture wicking, and UV protection.

SPECIFICS TO SNAG FROM THE NEW COLLECTION...

Men’s pants feature updated, comfortable, tailored cuts like the Daily Golf Jogger and Windowpane Slim Trousers. Key outerwear pieces for men include the Hybrid Quilted Sweater Jacket and the Plush Rolled Collar Pullover.

For women, opt for the black and white collegiate-inspired layering pieces, such as the Two-in-One Knitted Vest Mock Neck, Contrast V-Neck Cardigan, and Peekaboo Collar Pullover. These items easily pair with pants or skirts for an on-course look or après-golf outings.

ASK LINDSAY

How do I choose the best family law attorney for me?

I understand that the selection process can be daunting with so many attorneys in Arizona. First, it is very important to work with someone who practices primarily (or preferably only) family law, as the laws and regulations are continually changing in Arizona. Speaking for myself and the attorneys in my firm, we always try to maintain peaceful relations in order to keep the family intact as much as possible ev en though the parties have decided to go their separate ways. We truly never want our clients' children to suffer needlessly because of their parents' divorce, and we recognize a lot of that hangs on the dissolution process; this is a responsibility we take very seriously Children should never have to endure the stress of worrying if their parents are going to be in the same room Instead, they should be able to experience the happiness of seeing their parents sit together at their practices and events, be together during the holidays and even dance together at their weddings. No, this isn’t some far-fetched fantasy By treating all parties with dignity and mutual respect, we see these sorts of results for many of our clients, and we hope to continue to aid in the peaceful resolution for families of all kinds for many years to come.

Jessie West is the bubbly bombshell owner of Old Town’s Pacific Heritage Boutique. Nearing the chic storefront’s one year anniversary, the shop is a total haven for fashionistas.

“I look for high quality brands that aren’t readily available online or at chain stores. I love carrying local designers who contact me as I value supporting small businesses,” says Jessie.

Jessie sells carefully curated hand-picked designer finds. Personalized service is her hallmark ensuring a fun and engaging experience for shoppers.

“Having shoppers leave feeling better than when they came in is the defining motto of the store- we’re all about fueling people’s confidence through fashion. While we’re stocked for the ladies, we also carry men’s clothes! You will never find a happier husband than one who is shopping with his wife and realizes there are options for him as well.”

Owning a business was always Jessie’s ambition. Her father encouraged her to get an MBA and acquire the fundamentals of finance as a foundation; her mother owned clothing stores up and down the west coast. Clearly, entrepreneurship and a flair for fashion runs in her blood.

“I grew up in the Pacific Northwest wearing flip flops and a swimsuit with a surfboard under one arm, so I trend toward a natural laid-back look paired with statement pieces. In my closet, you’ll find basic staples (great denim, linen button downs, and white tees) accompanied by one-off investment pieces to layer. Vintage leather jackets and jumpsuits are my latest obsessions.”

Here are Jessie’s picks for fall must-haves, all available at Pacific Heritage.

Line & Dot Deep V-Neck Jumpsuit

Retire that LBD and stand out with a pop of fall color! Pistachio is on point for this versatile jumpsuit. Dress the jumpsuit with heels and jewelry for a holiday soirée or slide on sandals for a chic poolto-brunch look. The flattering cut looks good on all body types, and if the deep V is too revealing, layer it over a bralette or bandeau.

Greylin Dress & Driftwood Bag

Every closet needs a pullover dress, and this one’s equipped with adjustable straps and a tie back. The striped ensemble embodies that light airy feel for late summer gatherings, while incorporating the weight of winter with an oversized suede bag. Suede adds a warm vibe to any outfit, and the bag carries nice into winter with jeans, booties, and a faux fur vest.

PHOTOGRAPHY BY THE VIRIDIAN SCOTTSDALE

STEP INSIDE THE VALLEY’S LUXE BIOPHILIC DESIGN SHOWROOM

Nature often symbolizes growth, renewal, and life and incorporating plants into your home creates a more vibrant, healthy, and enjoyable environment. However, not everyone has a green thumb or an eye for earthy embellishment.

Enter The Viridian Scottsdale, an exclusive studio offering carefully curated nature-inspired pieces consisting of everlasting botanicals, pottery, and decor.

“Consider The Viridian an art gallery of biophillic design spanning bespoke preserved moss decor, wall pieces, unique high-end vessels, elegant silks and more,” says Rachel Hamid, owner of The Viridian Scottsdale.

The haven for high-end biophillic design offers ideal finishing touches to any interior space. The best part: Viridian offerings are virtually maintenance free.

“Because we live in Arizona and humidity levels are low, our pieces often thrive forever with minimal care or demand,” says Rachel.

Reflecting on The Viridian’s luxuriously preserved pieces, Rachel reveals her designs aren’t necessarily stylish, rather timeless.

THE BIOPHILLIC DESIGN

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF GREEN

According to studies, bringing the outside in and surrounding oneself with nature offers a profound sense of tranquility, fostering mental well-being. Nature inspires creativity providing a refreshing perspective, a more mindful lifestyle and increased productivity. In color psychology, green is found to reduce stress; therefore, incorporating biophilic elements around the home has both emotional and aesthetic benefits.

Sourced from France, Japan, and South America, all Viridian items are carefully constructed to the client’s personal style. The studio’s intimate by-appointment-only philosophy allows devotion and connection to clients and expert insight is always offered based on client preference, taste, and desire.

‘Tis the Season for

Trending Beauty Treatments

1. 3 HAIR TRENDS THAT ARE ALL THE RAVE

• What’s hot for hair color? Low Contrast roots. These strategically placed highlights mimic where the sun would naturally hit topped with a root tap applied at the base. The root tap is 2-3 shades darker than the highlights creating the illusion of a more lived-in look. Low maintenance commitment is generally every 4-6 months.

• “Babylights” are great for blonde-loving clients. Very thin highlights and slices are used to achieve this blended look. Unlike traditional highlights, application is a very in-depth and detailed foiling process that allows a closer-to-the-root seamless blonde. Complete the look with a global gloss.

• Grey coverage blending covers stubborn grey hairs. Add a few face-framing highlights where the sun hits so grey

grow-outs are softened and prolonged. Maintenance is every 4-7 weeks.

2. 3 EASILY DONE AND VERY EFFECTIVE FACIAL SERVICES

• Ideal for winter hydration, plumping, and radiance, Intradermal Hyaluronic Acid Injections are a long-standing beauty staple. Incorporating the HA microdroplet injectable gel pulls in up to 1,000 times its weight in water, helping the skin retain its natural moisture and softness. This results in fewer lines and effects can last 6-9 months.

• Often dubbed the best facial laser, the non-invasive Aerolase Zero Downtime Laser Facials combat the signs of aging (pores

and fine lines/wrinkles), reduces acne/ acne scarring, and restores a youthful radiant glow. Aerolase lasers are less likely to cause damage and other complications associated with laser treatments during the sunny months.

• Micro-Botox Facials treat patients with mild to moderate fine lines, as well as younger patients seeking preventative wrinkle treatment. It’s also an effective method for reducing pore size, sweat gland size, and sebaceous gland size. Add PRP/PRF to amp collagen production. Dr. Randy Craft MD, MBA, FACS, CraftMD craftmd.com

3. 3 DRIPS TO ELEVATE YOUR HEALTH FROM WITHIN

• NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every living cell and is essential for energy production, healthy mitochondrial function, and DNA repair. NAD+ plays a crucial role in maintaining mitochondrial health, but its levels decrease as we age. It reaps potential benefits like improved memory and focus, enhanced mood regulation, and neuroprotective effects. Ideal for ages 35+, NAD+ therapies are delivered intravenously with a duration of 1.5 hours or more.

• Vitamin therapy, provided by IV (intravenous) or IM (intramuscular) shot, address the breakdown of cellular health. The energizing therapy helps improve immunity, and if done via IV, it typically takes 30-45 minutes to fully absorb into the body. IM shots are a quick alternative, only taking a few minutes.

• Fat loss injections are helpful for enhancing weight loss efforts in addition to lifestyle changes. With these weekly injections, results are nearly immediate and help regulate blood sugar levels by enhancing insulin secretion and suppressing appetite. Available for ages 18+, it takes 5-10 minutes each week.

4. 2 SIMPLE BEAUTIFYING SERVICES

• The ZO Stimulator Peel is the perfect “lunchtime treatment” with zero downtown. This revolutionary beta/alpha acid peel stimulates cellular turnover, reduces fine lines, and and improves overall skin tone, texture, and clarity. This painless peel results in no redness, irritation, or post-treatment peeling.

• Classic full set lashes give a natural, timeless look that defines and flatters your eyes. These specialized lash extensions are applied at a 1:1 ratio, meaning one lash extension is attached to one lash. 85% of your natural lashes will get adorned with the synthetic-mink lash extensions, and you can determine preferred style, thickness, and length.

5. 3 FULL BODY PROCEDURES PERFECT FOR RECOVERY OVER HOLIDAY BREAKS

• Facial rejuvenation is an outpatient procedure that includes a facelift, neck lift, and upper and lower blepharoplasty (like an eyelid surgery). Facelifts remove sagging skin, heavy jowls, and deep wrinkles. Neck lifts correct the “turkey neck” or “double chin deformity” resulting in a tighter contoured jawline. Blepharoplasty surgery omits droopy upper eyelids and baggy discolored lower eyelids.

• Mommy makeovers combine a breast procedure with a tummy tuck to restore a woman’s body. Breast procedures can include an augmentation with implants, a lift, reduction, or a combination of a lift with implants. Tummy tucks remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen, repositioning separated rectus

muscles, and fixes any hernias. Women who experience excess bloating and/ or is unable to lose abdominal weight likely have a muscle separation that can only be fixed with surgery, making them excellent candidates.

• A rhinoplasty (nose job) is a procedure that reshapes the nose and septum to improve appearance and breathing. Size, shape, proportions, and structural problems of the nose that cause difficulty breathing can all be corrected. Swelling can last several weeks, and final results may not be visible for several months.

6. ALL ABOUT EBOO

• EBOO (Extracorporeal Blood Ozone and Oxygenation) is a medical procedure that involves removing a small amount of blood from the patient, treating it with ozone, and then returning it to the body. This detoxification process omits heavy metals, bacteria, fungi, yeast and inflammation from the body by flooding it with oxygen. As a result, patients see improved circulation with a decrease in inflammation and increase in overall health and wellness. Ideal for both men and women.

Rebekah Wilhelm, RN, Metier Clinical Services metierclinicalservices.com

7. RED LIGHT THERAPY

• Red light therapy is best via the Sculpt Pod. Utilizing a vibration plate to stimulate the body, this safe regime promotes lymph fluid release, eliminating toxins and fat cells. Results include weight/inch loss, cellulite removal, collagen reproduction, and reduced varicose veins. Kate Wagner, Red Light Envy redlightenvy.com

Art for your Face

Frame your Style: Unveiling the Artistry of Stylish Specs

According to Jessica Ortiz, eyewear should be art for your face. Jessica is the dynamic owner/optician of Sassy Glasses in Phoenix, an edgy, fashion-forward optical boutique that curates a high quality inventory of over 1,000 extraordinary frames.

The family-owned optical business has been serving the Valley for over 20 years offering personalized eyewear from independent frame manufacturers from all over the globe.

Jessica is an esteemed optician with an amazing “eye” for beauty and fashion. In fact, she has a vast celebrity clientele including Arizona-based Robert Kiyosaki, the author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad.”

Known as the Valley’s genius in picking the right frame for your face, Jessica’s optometry journey dates back to her childhood. As a young girl, she contracted spinal meningitis going legally blind in one eye. This experience has channeled her love for helping others to see better... and see in style.

According to the eyewear connoisseur, Jessica says vibrant colors are trending in the wonderful world of eyewear. She also suggests opting for shapes- round and octagonal- as they tend to flatter some face shapes by softening sharp features, balancing out a face, or highlighting the eyes. And to best showcase your unique personality, Jessica says customization is key (something she values at Sassy).

Here are four trending styles and brands you won’t find at mainstream retailers, all available at Sassy Glasses.

D-BACKS ARRIVAL GEAR STEPS UP TO THE PLATE IN STYLE

Walk this Way

Our beloved D-Backs surely rock a stylish statement with their arrival gear. When it comes to flaunting a fashionable swagger off the field, these baseball boys project confidence and flair.

According to Geraldo Perdomo, Shortstop and 2023 National League All-Star, “I wear clothes that show my personality. I’m happy. I have fun. I keep it loose. On the field I wear bright shoes to show a little bit of my style. Off the field, I dress the same way.”

We scored special “arrival photos” from some of our famed Diamondbacks. Ketel Marte looks dashing in green; Zac Gallen has a preppy side; and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. prefers a pop of color on his kicks... and his luscious locks.

“The Diamondbacks are a fun, young team who will see great success,” said Randy Johnson when we talked to the iconic D-Backs legend for our March issue cover story.

Los Serpientes are in the hunt for the MLB playoffs and we’re rooting for our lineup of handsome, hard-working hotties. As the guys walk into the ballpark in arrival style and walk out on the field in uniform, they’re pumped for homers via the sound of their walk-up songs.

Actor Sterling Jones

on Horseback Shines as a Superstar

OUR CHAT WITH THE A-LIST CELEB PLAYING IN THIS YEAR’S POLO PARTY AT WESTWORLD

PHOTOGRAPHY BY AMANDA ROWAN

Sterling Jones is known for being in 2023’s blockbuster Barbie , along with roles in NCIS and Grey’s Anatomy... but he’s also a superstar via horseback.

“I am not a professional athlete; I’m an actor who has the privilege of playing polo alongside professionals, which is beyond fun!”

Sterling is one of the celeb guests partaking in 2024’s 13th Polo Party this October at WestWorld.

“The entertainment industry can be incredibly stressful and demanding, and playing polo serves as a valuable stress relief. Every time I finish a game, I feel remarkably invigorated and ready to do it again.”

We scored a chat with the polo-loving actor on his personal style vibe, closet staples, and the celeb’s next big screen project.

DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE ON AND OFF THE HORSE.

On the horse, I keep it safe and fun. I’ve seen photos of myself playing polo, and I often have such a wide grin that I look dorky, but it’s so genuine.

Off the horse, my style is versatile. I love combining classic elements with vintage touches. For example, I enjoy pairing a high-quality, stylish jean with a vintage shirt, or reversing that by wearing a brand-name shirt with wellworn, torn jeans. I believe in keeping my style dynamic and unpredictable, often choosing pieces that challenge my usual fashion choices. If I have the thought, “Oh I’ll never wear this,” I buy it. This approach allows me to continually evolve and express myself through what I wear. Also, I’m not afraid to dress younger than I am. Bring on the baggy jeans!

WHAT ARE 5 STAPLE ITEMS IN YOUR CLOSET?

• Classic white T

• Classic Black T

• Classic Levi’s

• Perfectly tailored suit

• and of course, VANS

WHY DO YOU LOVE PLAYING POLO?

Polo has significantly boosted my confidence both on and off the field. There’s truly no better feeling than executing a solid hit and seeing the ball go exactly where you intend. However, the game is more than scoring goals. The most rewarding aspect of the sport has been the incredible people I’ve met. For example, Marc and Melissa Ganzi are two of the most incredible people I have ever known. They introduced me to polo and some of my closest friends who have truly become family. The Grand Champions polo crew is the most supportive and loving group.

This modern mountain ski home represents slope-side sophistication. Located in The Colony’s prestigious guardgated residential neighborhood at White Pine Canyon, enjoy seclusion, views, and privacy on over 4.43 acres in a quiet cul-de-sac. Take advantage of the private ski-in and ski-out access. Start your day with first tracks on a powder day from Snowwonder and ski directly to three different lifts, Dreamcatcher, Iron Mountain express, and Timberline. At the end of the day ski back via the Quicksilver Gondola. As you step inside, you’ll be greeted by impeccable design and luxurious features for entertainment and relaxation. The expansive chef’s kitchen, with top-of-the-line appliances and abundant counter space, makes meal preparation and entertaining a joy. The open living room provides a seamless flow, perfect for hosting gatherings or spending time with loved ones. Additional amenities include two owner’s suites on the main level. Upstairs, you’ll find four en-suite bedrooms, a secondary family room, an office, and more. The heated 3-car garage keeps your vehicles and outdoor gear ready for your next adventure. Outside, the main floor patio beckons with its large fireplace, providing a cozy ambiance for gathering with friends and family. Unwind in the hot tub as you soak in the breathtaking views of Iron Mountain and the Snowonder ski run, adjacent to the property. The unbeatable location extends beyond the mountain adventures. Hop on your e-bikes and embark on a scenic journey down the mountain, arriving at historic Main Street in no time for exclusive shopping and dining, or access to miles of hiking and biking trails. 40 minutes to two FBOs, KSLC and KHCR, and the Salt Lake City International Airport. This one-of-a-kind home presents a rare opportunity to own this exceptional residence with contemporary comfort in a year-round paradise.

WHAT’S IT LIKE PLAYING IN THE VALLEY?

Last year was my first year playing at Scottsdale’s Polo Party and I was blown away. I heard so much hype around the event and it lived up to its reputation. The event is all my favorite things combined, especially the music; I was sweaty from dancing.

YOU GREW UP ON A HORSE RANCH, SO CLEARLY YOU HAVE A CONNECTION WITH HORSES. WHAT DO THEY MEAN TO YOU?

I know dogs are dubbed man’s best friend, and I agree- my dog is literally the love of my life. However, I’d say the horse is a close 2nd for that position. Horses are part of the human DNA; they helped us evolve into the species we are today. I had my first horse at 5 years old and hope to never know life without them.

ANY MOVIES YOU’RE WORKING ON?

I’m currently putting the finishing touches on the feature version of my short film, Hit Friends, which I wrote and starred in. After a fantastic festival run with the short, we’re thrilled to expand it into a full-length feature! Literally a dream come true.

I’m so thankful to get to speak to your magazine! Means the world!

Much love, Sterling

Greatest Fits (Vol. 1)

Fashion psychology explores the complex relationship between our minds and our style choices, specifically how our clothing impacts our emotions, self-perception, and interactions with others.

According to studies, when we dress a certain way, our ability to acquire knowledge improves.

But how does fashion evolve? What dictates trends? And how has the Valley become one of the foremost fashion exhibitors in the nation?

The Phoenix Art Museum (PhxArt) displays the answers via The Collection: Greatest Fits (Vol. 1): The Art of Archiving Fashion , an upcoming exhibit debuting this October.

“Our exhibits put Phoenix on the map as a nexus of fashion. PhxArt’s fashion design collection is one of few such collections housed in American art museums,” says Helen Jean, PhxArt’s Jacquie Dorrance Curator of Fashion Design.

According to the museum’s style aficionado Helen Jean, PhxArt produces provocative and compelling fashion exhibitions like The Collection: Greatest Fits (Vol. 1): The Art of Archiving Fashion , the first in a three-part series of rotating installations that uncovers impressive and iconic trends.

“All the designers featured are ‘celebrities,’ but the high-end couture is always a crowd pleaser, and this one will be resplendent with McQueen, Chanel, and Dior.”

The exhibit will consist of over 80 garments and accessories presented by The Arizona Costume Department like priceless pieces from Balenciaga, Schiaparelli, Dolce & Gabbana, and more. Showstoppers include an 18th century court gown and 1920s beaded gowns.

“Flapper dresses were a symbol of modernity and independence worn by young women who stayed out late, danced to jazz music and likely had a job the next morning to afford her lifestyle and nightlife.”

The Power of Pink

ICONIC EXHIBITIONS

Prior to the launch of The Collection: Greatest Fits (Vol. 1): The Art of Archiving Fashion , the museum held The Power of Pink , an installation that celebrated all things pink. Visitors viewed a handful of pink-hued garments from Christian Dior, Valentino, and Yves Saint Laurent presented in conversation with major exhibition Barbie®: A Cultural Icon Exhibition

Before The Power of Pink , PhxArt showcased MOVE: The Modern Cut of Geoffrey Beene, which offered a rare and intimate view into the work of one of the most awarded fashion designers. Beene was a fashion rebel who ignored trends and instead designed garments that began as geometric shapes and evolved into free-flowing silhouettes.

SUPPORTING THE ARIZONA COSTUME INSTITUTE

The ongoing lineups of stylish displays are courtesy of The Arizona Costume Institute (ACI) founded in 1966 to support the museum’s Fashion Design Department. The ACI is excited to announce details on its 2024 Holiday Luncheon, one the Valley’s most anticipated fashion fundraising events, being held on December 9th. Attendees will be wowed by this year’s keynote speaker, famed designer Christian Siriano. Known for curating glamorous gowns, cocktail dresses, and tailored sportswear, Siriano has worked with A-list celebs like Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Lopez, and Taylor Swift. Spoken like a true fashionista, Siriano swears by the saying: “It is better to be overdressed than underdressed.”

PREGNANCY BEYONDAGE 35

September is NICU Awareness Month, and we connected with Lexi Hill, MD, FACOG, to discuss pregnancy and its potential risks- beyond age 35. Dr Lexi is a board-certified OB/GYN and Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialist who is bridging the gap between patients and physicians.

Driven by her passion for helping women navigate pregnancy with confidence, Dr. Lexi provides education via social media, YouTube, and her exclusive modules for pregnant individuals.

For instance, her “Pregnancy Health & Nutrition Course” guides women through a healthy pregnancy with helpful videos, resources, and links. Topics include choosing a prenatal vitamin, folate & folic acid insights, breech baby scenarios, and information on Down syndrome screening. Use coupon code LIFESTYLE for free access for one year.

Here are the most common questions Dr. Lexi is asked:

For NICU Awareness Month, we asked a Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialist how to navigate a later-in-life pregnancy journey

Lexi Hill, MD, FACOG

SHOULD I BE WORRIED ABOUT GETTING PREGNANT AT/AFTER 35?

It is often more difficult to get pregnant at age 35+ as our eggs diminish in quantity and quality. Additionally, pregnancies at this age face elevated risks of developing high blood pressure or diabetes, needing a cesarean delivery, and having a child with chromosomal abnormalities.

AT AGE 35+, DO I HAVE TO HAVE IVF?

No, but it could be more difficult to conceive naturally. When I turned 36, someone advised me to “go freeze my eggs,” which is not an easy or cheap process. Since we lose eggs as we age, IVF can assist with becoming pregnant and evaluating a healthy embryo before it’s implanted. An IVF pregnancy still has risks, and a consultation with a MaternalFetal Medicine specialist is recommended.

WHAT SHOULD I KNOW ABOUT THE NICU?

NICU stands for Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Premature babies often need time in the NICU for more intense medical attention. Full-term babies might also visit the NICU if there’s fluid in their lungs, breathing difficulties, or issues with low blood sugars.

HOW CAN YOUR SERVICES HELP DURING MY LATER-IN-LIFE PREGNANCY JOURNEY?

As a Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialist, I have specific training in managing patients that have medical issues during pregnancy. As we age, our list of medical issues increases, and the physiologic stresses require specialized care.

Licensed in 21 states, book a telehealth consultation with Dr. Lexi to address your worries about a future pregnancy, prior pregnancy trauma, or issues with your current pregnancy.
