EDITOR’S LETTER

SUMMER 2018 CEO/Publisher Lynette Janac Editor-in-Chief/Creative Director Sherri Balefsky VP of Business Development Dawn McCullough Business Development Manager Loreanna Gonzalez Photo by David Warren Photography

Marketing & Events Coordinator Luisa Pou

S

ummer is here, and the living is easy, especially with some proper planning. For our annual Destinations issue, we’ve rounded up our picks for top travel destinations around the globe to help you map out your summer—or any time of year—vacation (page 57). With longer days, the kids out of school and, if you’re lucky, a more relaxed work schedule, summer is the perfect time to get away. But if that presents a challenge, consider a staycation.

Thanks to our guide to some of South Florida’s leading hotels and resorts, you can feel like you’ve escaped without ever being too far from home (page 71).

Operations Coordinator Betty Alvarez Event Sponsorship Sales Kathy Courshon č` /À>vwV > >}iÀ Leo McAdams Accounting Lori Hering

This issue also includes our annual Beauty and Wellness special feature. We hope that you can take advantage of the tips we’ve gathered to help you look and feel your very best this season (page 119).

Senior Writer Robin Hodes

South Florida Luxury Guide always stays true to the notion that the opportunity to give back is one of life’s greatest luxuries. With that in mind, we are pleased to present our 2018 Women of Style & Substance, where we spotlight six inspiring local businesswomen who have not only achieved success in their professional lives, but also significantly contribute to the welfare of the community. Each profile highlights the charity with which the honoree is involved and why it is especially close to her heart (page 135).

Contributing Writers Diane M. Byrne, Angela Caraway-Carlton, Zlata Faerman, Bill Fink, Julia Ford-Carther, Christie Galeano, Eric N. Hart, Liana Lozada, Michele Marin, Vanessa Molina Santamaria, Chadner Navarro, Jerry Perez, Becky Randel, Victoria Randolph, Steve Winston

Lastly, as Mother’s Day and Father’s Day approach, we’ve made finding the perfect gift a breeze in our Shop section, which is filled with goodies to bring a smile to these all-important people in your life (page 140).

Copy Editor Julia Ford-Carther

Summer is scintillating, but fleeting, so we encourage you to savor every moment of the season. Enjoy!

The Sandbox par-3 course at Sand Valley

This May, Wisconsinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sand Valley Golf Resort introduces not one, but two new courses to its growing roster of award-winning links.

BY ERIC N. HART

M

ike Keiser is a king-maker,â&#x20AC;? says David McLay Kidd, the architectural mind behind the greatest course youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never played (it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t open until May 31). â&#x20AC;&#x153;He builds where no one else will build and only works with A-plus-plus-plus sites,â&#x20AC;? Kidd adds, citing Keiserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s award-winning golf destinations Bandon Dunes (Oregon), Cabot Links (Nova Scotia) and Barnbougle Dunes (Australia) as evidence.

Sand Valley Golf Resort in Nekoosa, Wisconsin, only further validates Keiserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foolproof formula and impeccable vision.

6JG HWNN UGTXKEG TGUQTV QRGPGF KVU Ć&#x201A;TUV CPF namesake course in 2017, which received Golf Digestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best New Courseâ&#x20AC;? honor. Preview

players already say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to imagine Sand Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second championship course, Kiddâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forthcoming Mammoth Dunes, will earn anything less than the same prestige.

As if one new course per year wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough for this remote golf resort, this season also brings the debut of Bill Coore and Ben Crenshawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s innovative par-3 collection, The Sandbox. While diminutive in size, the 17hole assortment is a big-time complement to the championship pair.

Additional courses are already planned for Sand Valley, furthering the notion that Keiser is not just a â&#x20AC;&#x153;king-maker,â&#x20AC;? but a â&#x20AC;&#x153;kingdommaker.â&#x20AC;? sandvalleygolfresort.com

SAND VALLEY

at a glance

GETTING THERE Sand Valley is 160 miles from Milwaukeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Mitchell Airport, about a 3.5-hour flight from Miami.

WHEN TO GO The courses are open April through November, though prime golf season is July through September.

WHERE TO STAY Reserve one of the Lake Leopold Cottages, which house up to eight and overlook Sand Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original courseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ninth hole.

Terms, conditions and fees of accounts, products, programs and services are subject to change. This is not a commitment to lend. All loans are subject to credit and property approval. Certain restrictions may apply on all programs. Offer cannot be combined with any other mortgage offer.

1 Available for clients with a minimum of $500,000 or more in investable post-close assets, and at least $50,000 in traditional assets must be on deposit with Citi at least 10 days prior to closing. This amount may be part of the $500,000 eligibility requirement. Real estate, loan proceeds, stock options, restricted stock and personal property will not be counted as part of the $500,000 or more investable post-close assets or the $50,000 in traditional assets. Net cash value of life insurance can be counted as part of the $500,000 but not part of the traditional assets. Investable assets are defined as deposit accounts (checking, savings, money market, Certificates of Deposit), unrestricted stocks, non-vested stock and restricted stock, bonds and retirement accounts held by the individual who is personally liable on the loan. These asset types held in revocable trust may be used provided the trust document meets the Trust Policy. 100% of the face value of all assets, except non-vested stock and restricted stock, may be used to calculate the amount of funds available to meet the eligibility criteria. For non-vested stock and restricted stock, the borrower must be 100% vested within 1 year of closing and a maximum of 70% of value may be used to calculate qualifying equity. Additional conditions apply.

2 A Citibank deposit account and automated monthly transfers of the mortgage payment from a Citibank personal deposit account using automated drafting will be required to receive Citibank mortgage Relationship Pricing. Ask a Mortgage Representative for details on eligible balances and the qualifying closing cost credit or rate discount. Availability of the Citibank mortgage Relationship Pricing for Citibank account holders is subject to change without notice.

3 Final commitment is subject to verification of information, receipt of a satisfactory sales contract on the home you wish to purchase, appraisal and title report, and meeting our customary closing conditions.

SPECIAL FEATURE BEAUTY & WELLNESS

Summer Radiance Year-round beach and boat weather calls for beauty, body and wellness routines to match. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no sloughing off for South Floridians when it comes to couture self-care. For our annual Beauty & Wellness feature, we took inspiration from our warm temperatures, long days and balmy breezes to source products, services, treatments, workouts and healthy living tips that work with our elements (and combat some of its unfortunate aging effects!) to take advantage of all that summer brings.

Hot stone massage using Saltability Himalayan salt stones

Pass the Salt For years, we were told that too much salt is too much of a good thing.

But, it turns out, when used in the right way, some salt does the body good. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Himalayan salt is considered the purest and most beneficial salt ever discovered on Earth, containing 84 naturally occurring minerals,â&#x20AC;? says Ann Brown, founder and CEO of Boca-based Saltability, a highend Himalayan salt provider for luxury spas around the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mineral-rich, alkaline and extremely therapeutic. It hits so many levels of homeostasis, which allows the body to find its own natural rhythm.â&#x20AC;?

Want to give it a try? Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where to get salted.

HOW TO STAY FOCUSED TO ACHIEVE YOUR FITNESS GOAL G

rowing up, anytime I had a big task ahead of me, my mother would say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Con paciencia y voluntad se comio la hormiga al elefante,â&#x20AC;? which essentially translates to: â&#x20AC;&#x153;With patience and willpower, the ant was able to eat the elephant.â&#x20AC;? I still laugh when I remember it, but it comes to mind anytime I have a goal that seems too big to handle.

The last goal I tackled was competing in the bikini division of a physique competition eight months postpartum. If I could insert an emoji right now, it would be the wide-eyed scared-looking smiley face. I gained about 32 pounds during my pregnancy, which is well within the healthy range, but I also lost a lot of muscle mass, strength and aerobic conditioning. I felt completely out of shape and very weak.

Plus, I was so sleep deprived, I was nowhere near being able to work out at the intensity I used to.

I was six months away from the competition when I received clearance from my doctor to begin exercising. Nothing was like I expected it would be. I knew caring for a newborn would be challenging, but I did not know that exclusively breastfeeding meant that I would be nursing every hour or so for up to 40 minutes at a time. It would have been so easy to give up at that point, but I took some steps to help myself commit to my goal. Here are some techniques I used that you, too, can apply to keep yourself on track.

more of a tip-toe. The idea is to keep moving forward.

Hitting small goals will help you stay on track because you will feel encouraged to keep going. If success feels too far, it is easy to lose motivation. These smaller goals can be as simple as sticking to the changes youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve committed to OCMKPI (QT GZCORNG VJG Ć&#x201A;TUV OKNGUVQPG + UGV YCU VQ PGXGT miss a resistance-training sessionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;no matter what. When you make your milestones about behavioral changes, you will feel successful because you can change your behavior much faster than you can change the number on the scale.

Little by little, I chipped away at my â&#x20AC;&#x153;elephantâ&#x20AC;? until my consistency paid off and I stepped on stage. It was incredible for me to see the transformation Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d made because I knew what the journey looked like to get there. It was not perfect, but it was consistent.

What can you reach with a bit of patience and willpower?

Implement these tips and bring your appetite for success.

South Florida Luxury Guide’s 2018 Women of Style & Substance honorees will be celebrated at a special Pamper & Pledge fundraising event on Thursday, June 14, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at Jungle Island. Guests will be treated to mini-massages, hairstyling, makeup touch-ups and more while receiving beauty tips from experts in the industry.

There will also be a selection of vendors selling products and services at the event. All ticket proceeds and 15 to 20 percent of revenue from purchases will go directly toward one of the six featured Women of Style & Substance charities (purchaser’s choice). The women will be competing to see who can raise the most money for her cause.

THE LIGHTING You don’t need expensive studio lighting to get a professional soft light. All you need is a beautiful window and natural sunlight.

Be sure to check out the beautifully decorated event space by The Lounge Design & Event Furniture Rental, making its U.S. debut.

THE MAKEUP It’s OK to go a little heavier than usual on your eye makeup and lip color. My personal must-have is LipSense lipstick, which won’t smudge or budge for hours.

HTWO™ is pure water infused with nanobubbles of hydrogen gas (H2)

HTWO™ is a functional beverage that promotes energy and endurance without the addition of counterproductive sugars, caffeine, and additives.

Return to Form™ With the Power of Molecular Hydrogen

Reduces Fatigue Reduces Lactic Acid Boosts Endurance Provides Antioxidants A Metabolic Breakthrough As a small gaseous nutrient, molecular hydrogen can enter the interior of our cells where metabolism occurs. Created by Dr. Cody Cook, HTWO is the first hydrogen water available in the US market and is based on countless scientific studies on the biological benefits of hydrogen gas. HTWO Hydrogen Water generates a full spectrum of health benefits from a boost in cellular metabolism, working at the foundation of our metabolic processes.

Doesn't Water Already Contain Hydrogen?

Molecular hydrogen (H2) has very different properties than the hydrogen atoms that comprise water molecules (H2O).

In fact, molecular hydrogen is a stable molecule that floats freely in between the water molecules. In regular water, two hydrogen atoms are chemically bonded to oxygen preventing our bodies from absorbing hydrogen.
