REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT. WITHOUT THE SWEAT EQUITY.

Everyone wants the return of an investment in real estate. But when it comes to the hard work of improving the property? Not so much.

Investing as a funding partner may be right for you. We invest the capital of partners like you – making it possible to earn dividends from real estate investments without having to buy, manage or finance the properties yourself. In other words, without investing the sweat equity.

Create the potential for a steady secondary income stream by diversifying your funds outside of traditional stocks and bonds. If you have some IRA or other extra funds to invest, let’s have a conversation about how you can invest in real estate projects.

Past performance is no guarantee offuture results.

Troy’s fall offering: Style, speed and the luxury in between

In our September issue, we celebrate the luxurious world of style in Troy. Style is not limited to the clothes we wear or how we adorn ourselves; it encompasses every aspect of our lives – the way we decorate our homes, the media we consume, the way we carry ourselves in conversations, the music we lose ourselves in.

It also permeates every facet of our lives, and for good reason. Style is deeply personal. It evolves as we celebrate our quirks, our passions and our desires. How we perceive ourselves and how we want to be perceived.

The great thing about fashion is it always moves forward (says Oscar de la Renta). What better way to move forward than in some of the fastest, most luxurious cars in the world at M1 Concourse? That’s exactly what we did with some of our partners, after styling them at Saks Fifth Avenue Troy, of course.

This month, we explore other facets of style in Troy. Ever thought of your roof as stylish? Yet it’s one of the first features you notice about a home. Patrick Stemmler of United Restoration Disaster Services shows how he’s bringing integrity back into style. And Mathnasium of Troy is making education more than fun; great math students are trendsetters, and local native Diana Badr and her partner Todd Byrne are leading the way.

We stop in at TOUS les JOURS, an incredible French-Asian fusion bakery, and enjoy a taste of Mediterranean cuisine with Cedar Grille.

We’ve found that style is best when you use it to authentically express who you really are. And that’s something no one else can duplicate.

“Style is something each of us already has; all we need is to find it.” – Diane von Furstenberg

The taste of style

Troy hot spots offer a world of flavor, from FrenchAsian baked goods to Mediterranean cuisine

ARTICLE BY REBECCA SCHWEITZER & TODD HAIGHT

PHOTOGRAPHY BY WINTERLAYNE PHOTOGRAPHY

CEDAR GRILLE MEDITERRANEAN CUISINE

The bread! Ohhh, that incredible fresh-outof-the-oven bread delivered to your table, so hot and irresistible. If you’ve had it, you know that’s the first thing to love about Cedar Grille in Troy (cedargrille.com). Of course, you must side it with the famous homemade falafel, hummus and baba ghanouj. Now, you’re off to a great start for lunch or dinner with the healthy, homestyle Lebanese and Middle Eastern cuisine at Cedar Grille.

Founder and owner Camilia Salah is proud to share her family recipes with customers, who she calls her extended family. (After all, you do feed family, right?) The menu ranges from mezza (appetizers and shareables) to traditional entrees like shish kabob, shish kafta, stuffed grape leaves, baked kibbee and lamb chops.

Then there are the sandwiches – shawarma, shish kafta, chicken tawook and many more – and family-ready combo platters. Everyone will find something among the vegetarian options, juices, smoothies, salads and sides.

Eating in is an experience, but you can bring the deliciousness home through online ordering, takeout and delivery options. Have a work party or family occasion coming up? Don’t serve pizza and subs. Try a healthier fare with Cedar Grille’s catering of appetizers, salads, sides, protein platters and desserts. Conveniently located on Crooks Road at I-75; call (248) 267-9100.

at this French-Asian-inspired bakery. You just won’t find this anywhere else, and we’re fortunate owner Jinwan Lee has brought it to Troy.

Every day, TOUS les JOURS (facebook.com/touslesjourstroy )makes fresh breads, decadent cakes and delicious pastries with the finest ingredients and utmost care. The gorgeous cakes and specially designed packaging offer a visually pleasing experience from every angle.

irresistible

TOUS LES JOURS

Who in the world thought to bring French and Asian flavors together into one bakery concept?

We don’t know either, and we don’t care ... just pass the Cloud Cake. If you haven’t tried one yet, you must! This fluffy, delicate sponge cake is a bestseller at TOUS les JOURS, filled with freshly made whipped Cloud cream flavors like milk, chocolate, strawberry and green tea.

That’s just the beginning. You’ll appreciate the artistry within every baked good and specialty beverage

But it’s your taste buds that will celebrate the Strawberry Croissant, Spinach Feta Danish and Yuzu Pie (yum!). Try the Taro Cream Bread and Purple Sweet Potato Loaf (it’s really purple inside). We love the Croque Monsieur (for breakfast or lunch) and Sweet Frank Roll. And we haven’t even talked about the Iced Lavender Latte, Caramel Macchiato and other specialty coffees and teas. Those alone are worth the trip.

So, it’s time for a taste. Now through September 30, spend $20 or more in bakery items and receive one beverage FREE ($5 and under) but you must bring in this month’s issue of Troy City Lifestyle. TOUS les JOURS is at the corner of Crooks and Maple.

Cloud cakes and decadent desserts are simply

Most financial advisors are quick to talk about investment returns and market volatility. We’ll probably talk to you about sleep. Because if you don’t have a plan that aligns with your goals, you may never get any rest. So let’s take the return out of the conversation. Instead of asking how your investments performed last year, let’s talk about how to align your financial decisions with your risk tolerance and long-term goals.

We’ll do more than help manage your investments. We’ll help manage your comfort level. So, let’s talk.

Hot Cars, Cool Style

Yves Saint Laurent famously said, "Fashions fade, style is eternal."

So, for our Style issue, we decided to share some of the luxurious styles, available right here in Troy, that have both international and eternal appeal.

We invited some of our partners to be professionally styled at Saks Fifth Avenue Troy, then took them to M1 Concourse for a oncein-a-lifetime feature photography session.

The result? A fabulous experience with some of the world's most luxuriant brands, like Saint Laurent, Christian Dior, Gucci and Prada. We hope you enjoy the results as much as our partners did.

Who’s your favorite nonprofit?

TROY AGENCIES ENJOY A LEGACY OF GIVING FROM A GENEROUS COMMUNITY

ARTICLE BY TODD HAIGHT

Troy is an exceedingly generous community. We are abundantly populated with not-for-profit organizations that serve, educate, train, heal and restore, and they do it with your generous contributions of time, support and funding.

So, we asked some of our readers, “Who is your favorite nonprofit – and why?” The recommendations we received range from helping underserved children to caring for those touched by the epidemic of suicide.

Along the way, we heard about so many more you support. Boys & Girls Club of Troy. Chaldean Community Foundation. American Lung Association. Easterseals MORC. Families Against Narcotics. Disability Network Eastern Michigan. Arab American and Chaldean Council. And so many more.

These are just a few of the organizations that deserve our support this year – and, as we approach the holidays, with year-end financial gifts.

Who’s your favorite nonprofit? Let us know on Facebook or Instagram (@troycitylifestyle).

Meanwhile, here are a few of our readers’ favorites!

KEVIN’S SONG

KEVINSSONG.ORG

“This is my favorite charity. Their mission is to empower communities to prevent suicide and offer hope and healing to survivors. They offer support to survivors through the conference and support groups. Kevin’s Song has personally helped me and other families in Troy after the loss of loved ones by suicide.”

CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL OF MICHIGAN

CHILDRENSDMC.ORG

“We love Children’s Hospital of Michigan. Not only are they in Troy, but it’s all about children. We’re not the only ones. Last September, during Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month, many people across Troy came together to collect the most-requested item from the children at Children’s Hospital – Squishmallows! These are soft and cuddly, and they comfort pediatric patients as they go through care at the hospital.”

– Harnisha Shah (FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Center)

THE CHILDREN’S CENTER

THECHILDRENSCENTER.COM

“The Children’s Center is a nonprofit in Detroit that provides children with clinical, behavioral and academic support, plus emergency crisis care. And they often counsel children who need a safe, comfortable environment to open up. So, our team adopted a flower garden at the center. We cleared out the area, sketched out a plan for the various flowers and plants, and we’ll begin planting soon.”

Unlocking the Power of Math with Mathnasium

EMPOWERING STUDENTS, ONE EQUATION AT A TIME

ARTICLE BY REBECCA EVE SCHWEITZER PHOTOGRAPHY BY WINTERLAYNE PHOTOGRAPHY

Meet Diana Badr, the woman behind Troy's new Mathnasium learning center, who knows firsthand the life-changing power of math. As a student with ADD, Diana struggled with math during her time at Troy's Larson Middle School, almost failing seventh-grade math. However, her mother's intervention led her on a path of transformation, ultimately preparing her to become a math teacher herself.

Today, alongside her business partner, Todd Byrne, Diana is on a mission to help students excel in math through her Mathnasium learning center (mathnasium.com/troy/about). The center is offering free student assessments just in time for the new school year.

"Mathnasium can change the trajectory of your child's life," says Diana, a qualified educator with degrees in Mathematics and Education. She currently teaches Honors Geometry and Precalculus at Stoney Creek High School. Diana emphasizes that the disruptions caused by COVID have left many students falling behind in math, but Mathnasium can bridge the gap and help them get back on track.

The results speak for themselves, with 94% of parents reporting improved math skills and understanding in their children after joining Mathnasium, and 90% of students noting an improvement in their grades. It's no wonder

Diana Badr, Mathnasium of Troy

Diana was passionate about bringing this program to her hometown.

Having grown up in Troy, attended its public schools and spent most of her life here, Diana has a strong connection to the community. Her involvement in various local activities, from working in the Troy Community Center to instructing at the Troy Aquatics Center and helping with the kids' camp at the Troy Farm, underscores her commitment to the well-being of Troy's youth.

When Diana and Todd were searching for a business opportunity, they aimed to serve the community where she had her educational journey. Recognizing the absence of the math program she once attended, Diana saw the need for Mathnasium and seized the opportunity to make a positive impact on Troy's students.

Mathnasium's unique approach to math education begins with a complimentary evaluation for each student. This allows instructors to identify knowledge gaps and tailor personalized programs to help students catch up or excel. The focus is on making the learning process engaging and enjoyable.

Diana's eyes light up as she shares stories of students who have achieved remarkable progress. One student, initially testing at a first-grade level, climbed to the fourth grade within just six months. High school students typically witness a 20% grade increase within three months, while elementary students can advance a full grade level in the same timeframe.

In the wake of COVID's disruptions, many students are struggling to catch up, with some classes lagging an entire year behind the expected levels. Mathnasium not only makes math fun by offering rewards, including an Xbox, for completing work at the center, but it also provides individualized attention to each student, eschewing homework to maximize their focus and productivity.

The diverse team of 12 instructors at Mathnasium addresses the whole child, taking into consideration any attention issues or learning difficulties a student may have. This holistic approach ensures that every child receives the support they need to thrive in math and beyond.

To learn more about Mathnasium's individualized programs and to schedule a free back-toschool assessment, call (248) 234-4926. Don't wait for struggles to begin; unlock the potential of math for your child with Mathnasium's expert guidance and support.

“The disruptions caused by COVID have left many students falling behind in math. Mathnasium can bridge the gap and help them get back on track.”

THE little BLACK DRESS

ARTICLE BY ANGELA BROOCKERD PHOTOGRAPHY BY JANIE JONES STYLIST: AMANI SKALACKI

Most of us can say we have that one staple black dress that can be worn at any occasion, and the classic look is not only popular but is elegant and timeless. It is the dress in our closet that can be accessorized to fit the event and often is the dress we go back to time and again. It is one of the most versatile items we own, never goes out of style and looks good on anyone. But how did this classic look originate?

Prior to the 1920’s, black was reserved for funeral wear, but when Coco Channel made the bold move to print a short, black dress on the cover of Vogue in 1926, all of that changed. The popularity of the black dress skyrocketed, and it became one of the most influential pieces of clothing. Chanel transported fashion from tight corsets and bustles to straightlined silhouettes. Because of its affordability, black remained a popular choice during The Great Depression. The black dress had another boom in popularity when “Breakfast at Tiffany’s’’ debuted, and Audrey Hepburn showcased her iconic black dress with long, black gloves. Today, people accessorize the black dress to fit any occasion.

We enlisted the help of stylist, Amani Skalacki, to show us how versatile the little black dress can be.

THE POPULARITY OF THE BLACK DRESS SKYROCKETED and IT BECAME ONE

OF THE MOST influential PIECES OF CLOTHING.

COCO CHANNEL MADE THE BOLD MOVE TO PRINT A SHORT, BLACK DRESS ON THE COVER OF VOGUE IN 1926

“We usually think of the little black dress as a piece you wear to an event. However, because black is so flattering on all body types and skin tones, women have multiple black dresses from casual to evening,” Amani says. “I selected this collection of dresses to show the versatility of the black dress and to give women some new ideas of how to wear the evening gown with a train on a night out with her girlfriends or the traditional summer strappy maxi dress while running errands in cooler temperatures.”

Although black is a timeless, classic look, that doesn’t mean it goes without personality. You can make it your own style by accessorizing to infuse new life into a dress that you already own.

“A sequin dress can be dressed up with heels, or that same dress can be transformed into a casual outfit with the addition of tennis shoes and an oversized blazer or a denim jacket. Transform that strappy dress you have been wearing all summer into an outfit that is perfect for chilly fall temperatures. Add a narrow scarf, a leather jacket and sandals or a tall pointy boot, and you have a whole new look for an evening out,” Amani adds.

If you have a dress in the back of your closet that you haven’t worn in years, don’t be afraid to dust it off and give it new life. “Take that evening gown you wore years ago to a tailor for a little transformation. Turn it into a high low dress-top that can be worn out with girlfriends or on a date night. Pair the top with leather leggings, ankle boots, a chunky belt and some statement jewelry, and now you have a piece that pushes the boundaries of the little black dress.”
