The first month of the New Year is one of the most inspiring holidays that many look forward to. After all, it's all about new beginnings, right? You might write down a few New Year's resolutions, plan travel to your favorite place, snuggle in bed with a good book, or go to a New Year's party with friends. And while you may already be doing some year-end reflecting, it's also the perfect time to connect with loved ones and wish them a happy 2024. It's a thoughtful gesture and can happen in all manner of ways, from a quick phone call to sending off a card or even a sweet text. You might even use one to make a New Year's toast if you're blessed enough to have all of your loved ones gathered together. However you are bringing in 2024 we hope you enjoy learning more about Windsor through our pages month after month. January you will find recipes from one of our favorite downtown Restaurants, inspiring words from Windsor Soccer coaches, and learn more about how important it is to take care of your skin. Wishing you joy and happiness in 2024 and beyond!

TWO MEN FOCUSED ON CHANGING LIVES BOTH ON AND OFF THE FIELD
The Scoreboard
MORE THAN THE SCOREBOARD 16
M UST SE E | S P O RTS + RE CRE AT ION
To be in a position of influence is a great privilege and one that coaches Mike Lordemann and Charlie Kingsbury both hold in high regard. They do not
soccer and life with a strong foundation of who they are and an ability to work together, be honest, and give kindness. They believe that soccer is a great place
take the opportunity to help build strong foundations rooted in teamwork, kindness, and strength lightly. In fact, they consider it a great honor. Soccer is a unique game because there are no time-outs, the players must learn to solve problems in the moment, working with their teammates, which is a lot like life. We don’t get redo’s and we are required to learn and move forward with mistakes, integrating the positives with the negatives to learn and grow. Through their own life experiences as both fathers of daughters themselves and coaches, they bring a unique perspective and aim to instill bricks of character and grace into their team in hopes of helping their players approach
to build character and the best way to do that is to communicate that. “We know from our experience that we get a lot of time with these girls on the field, and we are fortunate to have great kids and great families, and that time will produce a better team but the challenging part for us, is the character piece and knowing that that is what is going to get us through the tough moments on the field, so we really put an emphasis on letting soccer be an avenue to help teach life,” shares coach Mike. The coaches set their aim at letting soccer not only be the best part of the day for their players but also being a safe place where their players can come to build confidence and be supported.
“LIFE IS NOT BEST LIVED THROUGH THE SCOREBOARD; LIFE IS MUCH MORE PRECIOUS THAN WINS AND LOSSES.” - CHARLIE KINGSBURY

Coach Mike and Coach Charlie have made it a point to have female members on staff because they understand that sometimes as men, they may not always get what may be going on for their players on any given day, week, or hour. Making sure their young women have a place to go and people they can talk to and confide in on those tougher days is something they make sure is understood within their team to help support these young women and to ensure they feel seen and heard. A code of honesty encompasses their program, allowing for authenticity to thrive and offering a place where players are allowed to be themselves, whilst being a part of something bigger. Looking back on his notebook from the last three years of coaching, Mike and Charlie realize that there is more to soccer than a scoreboard, a goal, or winning; it is about what can be taught outside of sports that will make them a better team and better individuals. Focused on enhancing the whole being of their players, they bring in three unique mission statements that have become a tradition for them. First, every year they make “Be a Good Person” shirts for the team and families; a reminder to give to others and bring forth kindness. Second, an amazing motto of theirs is Family – Forget – About - Me – I – Love – You. Focused on helping them realize
“WE REALLY PUT AN EMPHASIS ON LETTING SOCCER BE AN AVENUE TO HELP TEACH LIFE.” - MIKE LORDEMANN “The Team”
family comes in all shapes and sizes and from more places than one. And last but certainly not least, to focus on taking the pressure of the scoreboard out. Sharing that life is not best lived through a scoreboard, life is much more precious than winning and losing. Surrounding their players and their community with support, voices of encouragement and wisdom, they hope they can convey that when the pressure arises and we are prepared with the right education and perspective, it can refine us, purify us, and allow the best of us to shine. Windsor is lucky to have coaches dedicated to not only helping their young women become better soccer players and athletes, but also centering their focus around helping them succeed in becoming kind, generous, and authentic human beings.

The Hidden Gem Room 9 ¾ THE IMPORTANCE OF INCORPORATING SKINCARE INTO YOUR WELLNESS ROUTINE
YOUR BUSINESS HAS A VERY UNIQUE NAME - ROOM 9 3⁄4. WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS NAME, AND HOW DOES IT RELATE TO YOUR BUSINESS AND PRACTICE? 9 3⁄4 is actually a Harry Potter reference! I told my husband I didn’t want a typical spa name for my business. I wanted something unique to me so people would remember me. I started my business out of a room in our house and combined my love for Harry Potter. People will know right away if it's a Harry Potter reference, or if they don't I tell them. Then when they see Harry Potter things, they’ll tell me they thought of me! WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO PURSUE A CAREER IN ESTHETICS? In college, I worked at a reception desk at a med spa. I liked what the estheticians were doing. I loved the one-onone connections they had with people and the trust that people put in them. It's more than just skincare. It’s the relationships you build with people. I get to hear about the milestones and life events of my clients. In skincare, especially facials, I focus on making people feel and look good. In turn, it makes them feel more confident in their skin. I couldn’t be more thankful that I pursued this career; helping others in their skincare journey is incredibly rewarding.

CAN YOU SHARE AN EXAMPLE OF A SKINCARE ROUTINE THAT CONTRIBUTES TO BOTH THE ESTHETIC AND OVERALL WELL-BEING OF THE CLIENT? When we look good, we feel good. The habits we form, the lifestyle choices we make have an impact on our overall health. Our skin health depends so much on what we put in our bodies and what we apply directly to our skin. When you're on a good skincare routine, you feel more confident about your skin and as a result, it makes you feel good. HOW DO YOU EDUCATE CLIENTS BEYOND THE TREATMENT ROOM, SUCH AS HOME SKINCARE ROUTINES? Our skin is the body’s largest organ and it works super hard to protect us. In return, it’s our job to protect our skin. A regular skincare routine helps maintain our skin's health, keeping it clear, smooth, and radiant. The benefits are not just skin-deep. Good skin care practices, like exfoliating, facial massage, & Gua sha can help stimulate blood circulation and lymphatic drainage and promote overall physical health. HOW DO YOU BALANCE THE DESIRE FOR IMMEDIATE AESTHETIC RESULTS WITH THE LONG-TERM HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF YOUR CLIENTS? I remind clients that instant gratification treatments aren't nourishing or protecting their skin. Giving it quality ingredients like vitamins, peptides, and antioxidants and protecting it with a good SPF will have a long-term health effect on your skin. Treatments are temporary results. Eighty percent of your skincare is what you do at home; 20% is what you do in a treatment room. Getting facials and practicing good skincare habits is amazing for your skin but also even better for your mental well-being. Good things take time. I use the analogy of going to the gym. You don't go to the gym once and suddenly you're in shape. It takes time. It's the same with skincare. By developing a continuous habit and routine and being disciplined to do that routine, you’ll begin seeing the benefits. You'll feel so good. CONTINUED >
“By taking care of your skin, you’re sending a powerful message to yourself that your wellness matters and it’s a daily affirmation of self-worth, self-respect, and self-love.” - Jenny Pearson JANUARY 2 0 2 4 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C O M / W I N D S O R

HOW WOULD YOU GUIDE A CLIENT IN ACHIEVING THEIR SKINCARE GOALS WHILE CONSIDERING THEIR OVERALL HEALTH? Practicing self-care and skincare is a step towards overall wellness. It's not about having a flawless complexion but creating a healthier relationship with yourself. By taking care of your skin, you're sending a powerful message to yourself that your wellness matters and it's a daily affirmation of self-worth, self-respect, and self-love. WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST FOR TAKING CARE OF OUR SKIN GOING INTO 2024? Start simple. Skincare does not have to be the 12-step routine you see on social media. It’s not that complex. Getting in the habit of cleansing, moisturizing, and wearing sunscreen is a great start. If skincare seems daunting, set up a time to meet with me! I would love to help guide you and help you feel more confident with your skincare routine.

SMOOTHIE BOWLS
ARTICLE BY ANGELA BROOCKERD PHOTOGRAPHY BY JANIE JONES Start your day with a nutritious and vitamin-packed breakfast. Smoothie bowls are a great way to add a variety of fruits and vegetables. Top with chia or flax seeds for an extra omega-3 boost, nuts or seeds for added protein, or sliced fruit for additional vitamins and fiber. Including a hint of turmeric or ginger can aid in digestion and has anti-inflammatory properties. Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables can aid in cellular repair and gut health, and smoothie bowls are a delicious way to incorporate more into your day.
