FROM THE PUBLISHER

Mark Shaffer be important to me when I least expect it…

She said stay “Busy” have “Boundaries”, and be in “Balance”. Well, I got “Busy” with MYVEGAS Magazine, and my band and music in performing nights and weekends with my new partner Amanda, (and my new cd coming out in a few weeks), and last year I re-acquired my real estate license, to which I am now showing homes on weekends… (Love Real Estate), then “Boundaries”, I set my boundaries and got real clear who and what was healthy for my life, and who wasn’t… and now I’ve discovered the value of “Balance!”

WHAT I’VE LEARNED FOR SURE… THE THREE B’S OF LIFE! I never realized how valuable “Balance” was until this last June 2018. My dear friend Debby Wright, from Four Seasons Dental Spa told me about four years ago, that the Three B’s would

ed t i v

In e u’r

Yo

Without “Balance”, this last couple of months could have been a sad state of affairs. And, I found there are seven areas of life that should be important and in balance at all times. This has been critical in my ability to keep negative people from killing my mojo and knocking me out of balance. These seven are: Faith, Family, Health, Social, Passion, Business and Community.

I spend a lot of time in my faith, and the gym, and

involved a lot in my new family, a fair amount of time in the social scene and in my community, but like many, my day job (here at MYVEGAS Magazine) takes up the majority hours of my week, to which I find the need to offset, almost nightly, and weekends, with my music.

My music life literally takes me to another place, in my mind!. (Mostly Nashville). And together singing with Amanda on stage, I must say, this has been the best part of my personal life and the “Balance” has been amazing. I thank Debby for teaching me the Three B’s, and showing me the value of each pf them!. And I thank Amanda for adding to the balance in my life. Our band is called Second Chance, and we look forward to seeing you at one of our shows soon! Hope you enjoy this amazing Summer Issue of MYVEGAS Magazine, and wish you Balance in everything you do!

Magdalena Groover

P.I. and Engaged Community Leader

M

agdalena Groover has an affinity for watching TV crime shows such as Crime Scene Investigation, Forensic Files, A Crime to Remember, Disappeared, and Cold Case Files. That is not surprising as Magdalena has a fascinating profession. She is a Private Investigator (P.I.). Ms. Groover loves her work because her clients and cases are unique and exciting, although, in some situations they can be downright dangerous.

For the past 16 years, P.I. Groover has acquired a repertoire of skill sets at a national and international level serving clients from all over the globe. As a Mexican immigrant Magdalena understands the dire predicament individuals find in seeking the “American Dream”. Groover is fluent in Spanish and understands the immigration system. Las Vegas Immigration Lawyer Hardeep “Dee” Sull works with Magdalena on behalf of clients unable to afford counsel. “Magdalena Groover is an exceptional member of the business community.

She has been a champion for my underprivileged clients and for the Rule of Law without any monetary gratification”, states Attorney Sull.

Ms. Groover’s clients are diverse with a mixture of individuals, families, attorneys, businesses and corporations. An extensive collection of experiences gained over the years allows Magdalena to produce exceptionally detailed reports that are ‘JUSTICE’ ready. CEO Stephen Rybar of Reliance Security offered this insight, “I have worked with Magdalena for a number of years utilizing her skills of in depth research and well thought out-analysis to provide

homeless population. Ms. Groover works with individuals who require guidance in terms of education and workforce development. “What I do for them, for example, is when someone does not even know their own name, has no identification, birth date or Birth Certificate, I go through their life history to gain information to help them track their identities and reengage into the community”, comments Groover. As Magdalena further points out, “I am an immigrant and have a responsibility to give back”.

In some instances, Groover helps people navigate the judicial system and other avenues of the legal system.

For individuals that have been scammed, she helps direct them to the correct jurisdictions so as to not suffer further abuse.

the best information for my client’s needs.

Magdalena’s accuracy and attention to detail in an investigation is surpassed only by her work ethic and ability to provide timely responses.”

For a P.I. like Ms. Groover, these are some of the best attributes one can have and certainly those that provide a level of comfort for clients that entrust her with the highest of sensitivity for their personal and professional matters.

The majority of P.I. Groover’s cases are complex demanding her absolute attention. In her off hours, Magdalena also volunteers with the

Tiger Todd of Hero School has long been a supporter of the homeless population in Las Vegas. Tiger spoke about Magdalena’s abilities, “Plenty of people overpromise and under deliver. Magdalena Groover overpromises and over delivers, unleashing her unstoppable energy, know-how and deep professional network onto every challenging mission until it’s accomplished.”

Magdalena is a P.I. and besides being completely committed to assisting her clients she has another purpose in life -- to help others. She makes a difference in our community. When asked what she does during times of not working or volunteering Ms. Groover points out, “I love to play the harmonica, travel and do yoga. It helps the body, mind, and soul.” MV

Natural Sunburn Remedies Monet

W

ith summer in full swing chances are that you will experience at least one time too much sun resulting in painful sunburn. Well whether your sunburn is mild or more severe there are some natural remedies that you can do to soothe the burn.

Relax in a cool bath not hot water which will only dry your skin out further. Avoid bath gels or soaps that will irritate your skin.

Instead add one cup of apple cider vinegar or two cups of baking soda to ease redness and irritation.

After your bath moisturize with lotions that contain aloe Vera. Aloe Vera has good benefits for sunburn including peeling skin.

Your moisturizer can also be refrigerated for added relief.

3.

Reduce sunburn pain by applying a cold compress to the area which will help absorb some of the heat and reduce swelling.

4.

Drink lots of water or consume fruits high in hydration such as watermelon, cantaloupe or honeydew to counter the drying effects of bad sunburn.

By Tammy Kincaid

5.

What you have already in your kitchen can help as well. Cornstarch mixed with water can be applied like a paste for relief.

Likewise yogurt can be applied to the entire area and rinsed off in a cool shower. Always pat dry, not rub so as not to cause further irritation.

6.

If all else fails over the counter products containing hydrocortisone may help.

Once the sunburn begins to subside your skin will probably begin to peel. Resist the urge to peel! Peeling can cause further damage even infection if there is blistering involved.

Once your sunburn heals remember to ALWAYS wear your sunscreen. Also be mindful of any medications you may be taking with adverse warnings of sun exposure. If you think your sunburn is severe enough not to be treated at home or there is cause for concern about infection or severe blistering always consult your physician for appropriate care.

How to Treat the Dreaded Sun Induced “Lobsteritis”

L

ike cats drawn to the warmth of a windowsill, native Vegans and travelers flock poolside to escape the heatwaves. Although the water can mimic the relaxation of a hot shower, the double sun rays that reflect off its surface can cause a more disastrous effect.

“Lobsteritis” aka sunburn, is a common ailment among our chlorinated oasis worshipers. A bad sunburn can lead to pain, dehydration, heat stroke, and a hospital room replacing your cushy hotel.

Prevention The best way to thwart lobesteritis of course is prevention! Avoid the sun during its most intense rays from 10 am-2pm. Seek shade when you can and wear an SPF 30 or higher. Remember that one shot glass full of sunscreen should cover the whole body, but it must be reapplied every 2-4 hours. A few sunscreen brands like Neutrogena contain a molecule called Helioplex, which helps the ingredients from breaking down as fast.

Application of a sunscreen should be done 20-30 minutes before water activities, giving it time to penetrate the skins surface and work efficiently.

Sun Protective clothing is another great way to shield those UVA and UVB rays. Companies like Coolibar make shirts, shorts, glasses, and hats to protect the wee ones and adults. These types of fabrics tend to offer greater protection

than chemical sunscreens. According to www. coolibar.com, “SPF in sunscreen measures only effectiveness against UVB rays, while UPF measures protection against the full spectrum of ultraviolet radiation. ALL UPF 50+ Coolibar clothing, accessories and products offer broad spectrum protection that blocks 98% of UVA and UVB rays.”

Yet, a third innovative way to prevent the dreaded lobsteritis is the new offering of a supplement used before sun exposure called Heliocare. It includes an active ingredient called Polypodium leucotomos fern, which offers antioxidant effects against UV damage.

Treatment For those affected by the steady flow of margaritas and other icy cold concoctions, a little inebriation can kill common sun sense. Thus, after you shake off the drool from an unexpectedly long sunny nap, you may find your back has been baked like a pepperoni pizza!

Before you reach for the aloe, lend your skin to the healing nature of Calendula. As a natural antioxidant, this flower extract can calm the scream of sunburn. Try sticking the tube in the fridge for an even greater cooling sensation.

Beyond this alternative medicine, the old mainstay of hydrocortisone should also be used in tandem, applying a thin layer of each twice a day for a week to the burn area.

Cool compresses, ibuprofen, and oral rehydration with plain or electrolyte infused water is also an important post-sunburn protocol.

Sunburns that cause fever, severe pain, large surface areas of blisters, chills, dizziness, or fatigue should be considered serious and medical attention obtained.

The best treatment of sunburn is prevention. But if that Vegas sun is just too hypnotizing, these treatments will help you on the road to recovery.

BE MENTALLY PREPARED While this might seem like the most obvious requirement for successful dieting, many struggle with the mental commitment that is needed.

Remember the saying, failing to prepare, means preparing to fail. Studies show that writing your weight loss goals down, and mentally and physically preparing for them, automatically accounts for approximately 60% of your success.

The rest is really just follow through.

CLEAN OUT YOUR PANTRY We all have “trigger” foods that cause us to sometimes binge late at night. Stay far away from them! Clean out your pantry and throw away all junk and processed foods. I know there are moms out there that battle with their toddlers snack jar, but if these foods have been proven to be of no health benefit to anyone, and can actually cause heart disease, hypoglycemia and type 2 Diabetes to name a few, why would you want your children to eat it?

ELIMINATE ALL SUGAR This includes alcohol, because our bodies process sugar and alcohol the same way. They provide no nutritional value, wreak havoc on our hormones, spike our insulin levels causing the excess sugar to get stored as fat. This is one of the main reasons we accumulate that uncomfortable thing called “belly fat.”

EAT MORE FAT NOT LESS Fat does not cause fat. In fact, fat and cholesterol helps us to lose weight, increase our energy, aid in digestion and produce testosterone, which is what helps us to builds muscle. Healthy fats such as coconut oil, avocados and nut butters are an excellent source of healthy fats. So eat more, not less of them. Healthy fats also curb our appetite.

GO TO BED ON AN EMPTY STOMACH Consume your last meal at least 3 hours prior to bedtime. We have a harder time digesting food while lying down, so food tends to burn much slower while asleep causing restlessness and resulting in lower energy levels the next day.

Following these simple steps will help you reach your weightless goals, since nutrition is the backbone of all fitness programs. You cannot out exercise a bad diet no matter how hard you try.

MV In Good Health!

Las Vegas Entrepreneur Kema Ogden Wears Multiple Hats in Spearheading Community Projects As a long-time Las Vegas community-minded business entrepreneur, philanthropist and CEO Kema Ogden wakes up every morning refreshed and eager for the daily challenge of advancing remarkable community changes.

Kema takes pride, for example, that in 2008 she founded The Ogden Family Foundation, a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization along with her husband, Jonathan Ogden, a former professional football player who played offensive tackle with the NFL Baltimore Ravens and inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The Foundation’s goal is to provide homeless, foster and at-risk youth, as well as underserved families, with programs and services that support families, unite communities, and promote healthy lifestyles in southern Nevada.

Mrs. Ogden is also executive director of the Community Outreach Medical Center, a nonprofit clinic that provides medical and behavior services for low-income and high-risk Southern Nevada populations. COMC offers a wide-range of medical services that include: prenatal care for teenagers and women ages 16 to 40 in partnership with the University of Nevada School of Medicine and University Medical Center Hospital’s Baby Steps Program; an extensive HIV/AIDS program; cancer screenings; family planning services for women such as PAP smears, mammograms, pregnancy tests, gynecology services and birth control and services for men that include testicular exams, prostate screening, nutritional counseling and safe-sex counseling.

Kema has the distinction of being Nevada’s first female minority owner of a

cannabis dispensary as co-owner of Top Notch THC, a minority-owned dispensary and cultivation business based in Las Vegas, NV. Top Notch’s parent company is Nevada-based Global Harmony LLC. Top Notch offers a wide variety of cannabis as well as an abundant selection of edibles that are produced locally in Las Vegas.

“Health and wellness has always been a passion of mine,” Kema says. “I’m fortunate to have been able to bring health and wellness strategies to the community for over 10 years as an entrepreneur.”

And just recently, Kema joined the board of the national organization Doctors for Cannabis Regulation, the first and only physicians’ organization dedicated to the legalization, taxation and effective regulation of cannabis for adult use. Kema will be serving on the development committee of the eight-member board based in Washington, D.C. “ I am extremely honored and humbled to be selected as one of the Top 100 Women in Southern Nevada by MYVEGAS magazine and to be acknowledged as someone helping to make positive changes and differences in people’s daily lives,” Mrs. Ogden says.

“Southern Nevada is my home and I hope to be very involved for many years to come as an active leader inspiring individuals to reach for their dreams, while pursing healthy bodies and strong minds.”

Selfie Season

I

t’s summer vacation season and if you’ve been to a tourist hotspot lately, you may want to call it the selfie season. It’s no secret, vacationers want to broadcast the trip highlights to the social media world but if you take too many, you may not be just missing out on real life fun. You may have a bigger problem.

A recent study focused on students, mostly under the age of 25, and broke down their selfie actions into 6 categories: self-confidence, attention seeking, mood modification, environmental enhancement, conformity, and social competition.

In the end, the Exploratory Study of “Selfitis” concluded “selfitis,” the obsession with taking selfies, is real.

Life is Better When You’re Bronzed.

“People are trying to treat their brain; stimulate positive chemistry and there’s a social comparison thing going on as well. We look at other people – they’re having great lives – I want to look like I’m having a great life, so I post my best moments or best photos out on the internet,” says Dr, Scott Bea from the Cleveland Clinic.

While the psychologist did not participate in the research, he says focusing too much on ourselves can amplify bad feelings.

“When that self-awareness becomes intense, we’re often chanting about what’s wrong with us.”

The Cleveland Clinic even points out a reported rise in plastic surgery to attain that perfect look on social media.

But the advice isn’t to put down the phone all together. Instead, Dr. Bea says set social media limits for yourself. So perhaps, take in the sights, and less selfies. MV

From all of us at MYVEGAS!

MYTOP 100 DOCTORS & DENTISTS

Dr. Paul Lanfranchi at The Lanfranchi Center For Facial Plastic Surgery & Rejuvenation are the only named practice in the valley with a board certified facial plastic surgeon exclusively performing facial rejuvenation procedures. The second unique aspect of our practice is in the “how” we perform our procedures. Every procedure is performed in our Center under local anesthesia with mild oral sedation. This significantly decreases the risk associated with deeper methods of sedation (i.e. general anesthesia) and allows us to offer services to a wider range of clients both young and aged.

Q: Tell us about the inspiration behind founding the TLC Lift For Life program for the American Cancer Society.

A: The Team and I decided that we wanted to “give back” in some meaningful way. We wanted to find a charity that would be far reaching but would also allow for significant donations and real-life results that could be measured. We collectively decided on working with the ACS to create a charity that would supplement their current patient outreach services which needed support. The TLC Lift For Life provides monies for transportation for cancer patients getting to their life saving treatment appointments.

Q: When was the Lanfranchi center founded?

A: TLC was established and founded in the Spring of 2015. We opened our doors to our community on August 10th at 215 & Eastern which has proven a successful location allowing everyone within the valley to reach us in under 30 minutes.

Q: What sets The Lanfranchi Center apart from other’s in Las Vegas?

A: There are two very distinct qualities that make TLC one-of-a-kind. The first is specialization. We

“Selfies Don’t Lie.”

SM

BEFORE

AFTER

We have committed $50,000 to this program and continue donating $100 for every TLC Lift (Lower facelift and neck lift) performed.

Q: Have you or anyone you personally know ever been touched by this terrible disease?

A: My father (still practicing dentistry after 40+ years) aged 69, was just recently diagnosed with Lung Cancer. He and my mother live alone back in New Jersey, and I can already see how difficult and challenging it has, and will be, for them to get back and forth to his appointments (due to mom’s declining health as well).

Q: What is your overall goal with patients and the most rewarding part?

A: To be a true partner and provide an amazing overall experience. The actual “surgery” and cosmetic outcome are only parts of the equation.

How the patient “feels” during the process is just as important. Truly getting to know each patient on a personal level and giving them an experience that is unparalleled is key. MV

CHAD AND KATE MCCULLOUGH

Top Power Couples

Las Vegas, the land of love! MYVEGAS Magazine is proud to announce Las Vegas’ Top Power Couples! With Nevada having one of the highest marriage (and Divorce) rates in the nation, only the strongest of couples survive! Some of Las Vegas’s most successful businesses are ran and operated by couples! These nominated couples are in-love, heavily involved in the community, hard-working, reliable, and are truly outstanding businesspeople. In Las Vegas today, love emanates the town; and we would like to showcase that with this special feature. MYVEGAS is pleased to present our favorite Pairs in Power.

Fauzia & Ralph Carullo The Carullos first met in England in 2000 when they both were in medical school and quickly became best friends. After 15 years together (9 married), Fauzia and Ralph remain so. The couple agrees that any success in their respective careers can primarily be their shared core belief: “Practicing medicine is intellectually difficult and emotionally draining, but always a gift.” The Carullos sum their relationship in with a “math problem”: nine years of marriage, plus two demanding schedules, plus one combined commitment to helping others while still finding time for each other, plus their commitment to raising their two wonderful children. For the Carullos, who cite their complementary strengths as the backbone of their relationship, the solution is best expressed in fractions: “We can only do it all with the support of our better halves. Together, we add up to a great ‘whole’”.

Rocky and Mariela Faith Rocky and Mariela are best friends, business partners and more importantly, parents. A lot of people ask how they able to run a business and be around each other all the time, but they wouldn’t have it any other way. Off The Wall is like their baby and they work really hard to make sure it becomes more successful everyday. Monica was born and raised in San Diego which attributes to her laid back but motivated personality. Although Rocky was born in Oklahoma, he was raised in Vegas and understands the fast pace this city is all about. Rocky is a Vet, an amazing husband and father, and Monica is his biggest fan. They absolutely love what they do and their OTW family!

Dave and Monica Papas As a female in a new service industry, Monica stands tall as a role model for female entrepreneurs.

Monica has dedicated her adult professional and personal life to protect children, seniors, disabled, aged out foster care kids and homeless youth. Monica also founded Community Lifters, a Grassroots Volunteer Group, in 2017. Dave, an inspirational leader and effective team builder with 25 years successful high-level executive experience opening, operating and marketing 5 Star Las Vegas resorts & casinos: Mirage, Bellagio, Wynn and Cosmopolitan. Currently, an energetic positive minded entrepreneur and community volunteer dedicated to protecting: children, seniors and vulnerable populations from known criminals.

This original blueberry strain has been in the fold of the Cannabiotix genetics lab for over a decade. This heavy Indica smells like freshly baked blueberry muffins and has hues of violet purple throughout the buds. The smoke has the overwhelming taste of ripe blueberries combined with a relaxing euphoric feeling that make this strain a great night cap indica.

Las Vegas Real Estate: The Market is Hot The local Las Vegas real estate market is on fire and is set to be cooking for the next few years. With the onset of our national sports teams, the Las Vegas Golden Knights, the Las Vegas Raiders, and the Las Vegas Lights, this town is set to explode with real estate values. In this market, many properties are receiving multiple offers and same day sales which means homes are flying off the shelf.

Many lenders are offering a grant program to assist you with the entire down payment, so if you thought you could never buy a home, a home is possible!

Steps To Buying A Home In Today’s Market…

It’s A Sellers Market Out There!

S

o you are ready to buy a home here in Vegas? Well before you begin that journey, take my advice to avoid some of these common mistakes and pitfalls…. that often lead to financial unrest and often emotional disheartenment. First be aware that it’s a “SELLER’S MARKET” which has adverse effects on the BUYER. The Seller has certain advantages in a Seller’s Market, that don’t usually occur in a balanced market. Homes that normally take 3-4 months to sell, are selling now in 3-4 days!

And some with 10-20 offers on the same house, in ONE DAY! Buyers have to be READY! When they find that perfect home, they need to have all guns loaded and ready to seal the deal! Here are my personal steps I recommend for all my buyers in this Seller’s Market.

PREQUAL LETTER: Get your prequel letter asap! First things first!

A prequal letter is a Pre-Qualified Letter from a Mortgage Lender, stating that they have prequalified you for a certain amount of money to buy a house. To the Seller, that means you are strong, already qualified, and can close the home and move in quicker. You look like a much stronger buyer than everyone else. Don’t even go looking at homes, till you have that letter in your hand! That’s the Golden Ticket!

OFFER OVER LIST: Be prepared to offer “Over List”, which means offering MORE than the Seller has the home listed (priced at). If it’s the “Perfect Home” for you, it’s probably the perfect home for someone else too. And it’s perfectly legal to pay a man more than he’s asking for his house. The reason today’s buyers are offering over list relates to a few points. They really love the home, and really want to get it before anyone else does. Other buyers are out there looking at the same time, and the Seller will most likely accept the Highest and Best offer. Not that you have to, but know that it’s very common to see offers Over List in this Seller’s Market.

KNOW YOUR FINANCES: After meeting with the Mortgage Lender, you will have a clear picture of what your financial strength is… what you can buy, how much of home you can buy, what size of down payment

80

you will need, and what your monthly payments will be. You might be pleasantly surprised how strong you are! Meeting with a lender costs absolutely nothing, and only takes 30-45 minutes. Time well spent to prepare you for this exciting chapter of your amazing life!!

CHOOSE A GOOD REAL ESTATE AGENT: In my opinion, the most important decision you can make. Google and real estate websites are not up to the minute accurate, however your agent has instant and accurate access to the current status of any home. The home you see on your computer could already be sold.

Outdated and old information. Your agent is also looking out for your best interest. Most people wouldn’t go to court without a lawyer, and I wouldn’t go looking at homes without a Professional Real Estate Agent. They know the questions to ask, how to negotiate a better deal, and they have the resources to protect you along the way.

MAKE A LIST: Sit down and put some thought into your search. What area of town do you like? Do schools matter? Shopping? Parks? How many bedrooms? Baths? Pool? Fireplace? Garage?

By Mark Shaffer

Think about your growth and expansion plans. I recommend taking a sheet of paper, and drawing a line down the middle, and on the left side, put your “Must Have” features… and on the right side put your “Would Be Nice” features. This will give you a better picture of your vision, and also some great points for your real estate agent.

MAKE IT FUN! This can be the most enjoyable experience of your life, if you let it be. Home shopping is FUN! I love going shopping with my clients on weekends! It feels like I’m buying my house all over again. Seeing different things, different floor plans, different ideas… opens up a whole new world than what we see in our own domain seven days a week. Selecting your new home, planning moving day, fixing up your new home the way you like, making it YOURS! It’s all part of the fun of buying a home.

Hope you enjoy this journey, and if you’re not sure if you would qualify for a new home, or not, please don’t hesitate to call me and let’s get you PreQualified! It’s Free, Easy, and could change your life! Thank you for your time, and reading this! Mark Alan Shaffer, Real Estate Agent at Realty One Group, Las Vegas. 702-497-5715 MV

o, you’ve got a Smart Phone, maybe a smart watch, and we all know “you’re” pretty smart. So why not a Smart Home? Imagine walking into your house, putting the keys down and saying “RELAX”, and the mood lighting comes on, the blinds go down, and your favorite relaxing song comes on the sound system! Or you’re at work one morning, and you forgot to lock the front door… you grab your phone, and lock it from your desk! It’s here! Smart Homes are taking over, and if you’re not there yet, better get on board!! You’re gonna love the features and conveniences, and… it will make your home more attractive and sellable and… potentially increasing your homes value over all the others!

Here’s a current list of some of the Smart Features you can add to your home and life right now!

1.

SMART CAMERAS: Both Motion and Audio triggered recordings for 7 days back, todays Smart Cameras are wireless and come with no long term contract! They include 2 way audio, Siren, Night Vision, DIY installation, weatherproof, 1080p HD Quality, Smart Alerts, and Free Mobile App! Imagine, being able to monitor your homes activity, while you’re away, right from your phone! And the new Baby Cams come with Air Sensors and a Music Player! Many companies to choose from!

2.

SMART DOORBELL: Ding Dong! Ring is the new doorbell! Now you can answer the door from your Smart Phone or Computer!

With crystal clear HD video, you can monitor your front door and even has night vision! With a built in Motion Detector, this unit works on any home, with or without an existing doorbell. Security has never been better!!

3.

SMART LIGHTING: When you want to set the mood, there’s no better lighting than Smart Lighting for your home! Be the living room, bedroom or bar area, you can now bring color uplighting effects to any home! Helps you relax, and get away from the bright world we all live and work in.

You can flash your team colors during your favorite game, and also control your lights

82

when you’re away from home, or make a schedule for your lights to come on and off. And best of all, “voice control” means you can change everything with your word!

Smart Lighting, from white to color, for any room. I recommend the HUE system!

4.

SMART THERMOSTAT: Now, a thermostat that programs itself, and then pays for itself!

These new thermostats learn how to ready your habits, and then save you energy when you’re not at home! NEST is the brand I highly recommend.

5.

SMART DOOR LOCKS: On your front door, you’re gonna want one of these! You can lock and unlock your door from anywhere in the world, all from your Smart Phone.

It’s BlueTooth connected and also features “Touch Open”, similar to your car, you don’t need the key anymore, but it comes with keys for back up, as well as a key fob, offering a variety of options for your front door, that you didn’t have before! I recommend the KEVO system!

By Mark Shaffer

6.

VOICE COMMAND CONTROLLER: Wow, did I say WOW! These things are great!

Now you can run your entire house just speaking out! Lights, Camera, Action, Music, Blinds, TV, Stereo, literally anything that plugs in, can now be operated with your voice!! And with Alexa’s Echo Show, you can SEE your commands! Order recipe’s with your voice, get the sports updates, watch your security cameras, stream music from your favorite channel!

Everyone should get one of these babys!!

Try Amazon Alexa or Google Home!

7.

SMART TECH FOR PETS: Imagine, saying hello to your loved ones from work! And giving them a treat at the same time! The new wireless, two way audio units with treat dispenser system, allows all this and more! Includes built in 1080p HD camera so you can see how happy they are, right from your phone! Take pics and videos too!

All wifi, try the PetCube or Guardzilla! Your pets are gonna love you for this one!

For a tour of today’s new Smart Homes, and see them in action, call me! I’d be happy to take you on a New Home Tour! Mark Alan Shaffer, Realty One Group. 702-497-5715 MV

MYREAL ESTATE

Las Vegas Real Estate Market

T

HE MARKET IS HOT: The local Las Vegas real estate market is on fire! And it’s set to be cooking for the next few years! With the onset of our national sports teams, The Las Vegas Knights Hockey team, and the Las Vegas Raiders, this town is set to explode with real estate values. The under $300,000 home market is selling super-fast. 83% of homes in this rage are selling in 60 days. Some homes, if set to sell right, and move in ready, are selling as quick as same day. And in this market, some properties for sale are receiving multiple offers, as much as 20-25 offers on the same house, all at once. The median price in Vegas is now at $260,000, which is up 10% from last year, and these homes are flying off the shelf. In some cases, homes in this price range are selling “over appraisal” because of the shortage of homes for sale in today’s Las

Vegas market. (Recent MLS count was only 5157 homes on the market). And 2017 Sales are outpacing last year 2016.

Luxury homes, ($750,000 and higher), are also moving at a fast pace than usual. Average days on luxury market are around 120, and the selling prices are very close to the listing price, if not the same.

For those in a pinch for the down payment, you might want to consider the HIP program! Home is Possible. Many lenders are offering this “Grant” program, to assist you in coming up with your entire down payment. Very attractive for those who thought they could not buy a home. With the HIP program, a Home is Possible!

By Mark Shaffer

Rate Watch: Rates are floating around 4.0% and make it very affordable to buy a home now! Often times cheaper than renting! Loans available include FHA with a maximum loan of $287,500, VA and Conventional loans at maximum of $424,100 and Jumbo loans up to $3,000,000!

Some Stats: This year, cash home sales represent about 25% of all homes sold and Short Sales represented about 7% of all sales. Average MLS listed homes are at $350,000 and average new listings are coming in at $279,000.

MY RESTAURANTS

Osteria Costa

W

e knew Osteria Costa was the newest offering at the Mirage but we were not quite sure of exactly where it was. As we walked through the casino, we were drawn to a clean crisp awning suspended over the perimeter of the restaurant. Realizing the location was formerly Samba, we had officially arrived at our destination. We were no longer in Las Vegas but on the Amalfi coast, dazzled by the bright and airy shades of blues and teals that filled the restaurant. Walking in, Osteria Costa has an open area bar and lounge that looks over the casino and is a spot we could both imagine having a cocktail and people watching.

We ascended the staircase, passing a traditional Neapolitan style hearth oven adorned with the same the aqua tiles that can be found throughout the restaurant. We liked the fact that there were plenty of bar stools surrounding the oven so you can enjoy dinner and a show, watching the chef’s prepare the pizza to order. We chose to have our dinner in the main dining room, which was just as lovely.

By Michele Polci, CPCE, CMP and Shauna B. Lederman, CPCE, CHE

One of us started with an Italian classic, the Negroni, and Osteria Costa’s did not disappoint, as it was balanced and simple.

right amount of salt and the other thought that the crust was impeccably light and airy with exquisitely crisp edges.

Both of us are fans of anything beet. In our opinion, beets are the new Brussel sprouts and are found on many a restaurant menu in the valley these days.

The name says it all for the Spaghetti with shrimp, garlic, olive oil, chiles, and mint. One of us thought the mint added an unexpected freshness and there was a good bite from the chiles and the other thought adding a few fresh tomatoes and zucchini ribbons created a beautiful kaleidoscope of color and flavor.

The beet salad was a home run for both of us. Supremes of citrus, fresh arugula, and pistachios elevated this salad to the next level.

It was dressed with vincotta pesto, made from a white balsamic reduction and shaved ricotta cheese. One of us enjoyed the meatballs made with pork, beef, and veal. Served with whipped ricotta, grilled bread, and a Pomodoro Sauce that offered the perfect amount of acid. Not only were they delicate and moist, but the sweetness of the whipped ricotta made them down right indulgent.

Branzino is a Mediterranean Sea Bass simply grilled with lemon and oregano and this one is served whole, stuffed with lemon, herbs and kissed with just the right amount of olive oil. One of us was delighted with how crispy the skin was and the other, while not a fan of fennel, thought it complemented the dish perfectly.

The Chef told us that the Fettuccine with neopolitan beef ragu and pecorino was made to the exact specifications to be a traditional pasta using sofrito as the sauce, which evoked spices like clove and nutmeg. This dish was hearty and a flawless transition from the lighter first courses into the pièce de résistance, the Pollo Parmigiana.

The next course included a margherita pizza topped with hand handcrafted mozzarella and torn basil. One of us thought the pizza had the

Anyone can make a chicken parmigiana but this was something special. Breaded chicken breast, pan-fried to perfection, created the perfect canvas for the rest of the dish to shine.

Pomodoro and handcrafted mozzarella had been a steady theme throughout the meal, and this was no exception. We both thought it was the perfect bit of crunch, salt, sweet, and herbs.

We would be remiss if we did not mention the outstanding service, from the time we walked in and the hostess escorted us to our table, walking at a perfect pace and engaging us in conversation; to the Sommelier who guided us towards the perfect sip; to the back server, Manuel, who consistently kept smiles on our faces throughout the entire dining experience.

He and our server did not miss a beat.

Our sweet finish came in the form of lemon ricotta cheesecake and olive oil cake. One of us can never get enough lemon or cheese so this was a highlight and the other had her first experience with olive oil cake and it will not be her last. And that’s what she said. MV

From Eclectic Art to Divine Delicacies –

Park on Fremont

W

hen you’re looking for delicious, eclectic, and just plan cool, Park on Fremont is just that. From the moment you walk in, until the wiping the last bite off your chin Park on Fremont is the place to be. The artwork throughout the Park is full of unique and very creative images you won’t see anywhere else. The specialty drinks here are delish and something to behold. You have to try the Twisted Grapefruit.

OK OK, so they have a way of liquefying the inside of a whole fresh grapefruit, THEN add Stoli Vodka. (WOW) Being originally from Buffalo, I know my Buffalo style wings. They not only are really good but the presentation makes these little morsels even more appetizing to the palate.

The Crispy Brussels Sprouts, these are a MUST try.

Made with pink lady apples, an incredible, edible honey glaze and chilled brown butter almonds.

“Are you kidding me?”

This little place is a true example of comfort food at its best. Park on Fremont’s menu is just so

By Frankie Scinta

different from the everyday blah. Each and every sandwich has its own style and flavor. The drink menu is enough to make any lover of the spirits try more than one of their diverse concoctions.

The environment is very cool for anyone looking for great food and much more. The patio is a great place to indulge your taste buds under the stars and intimate lighting, whether with a group or one on one. Bottom line, Park on Fremont has

great food, great drinks and great service.

My wife and I sometimes don’t agree on things but in this case we both totally agree when downtown it’s a must eat, drink and see place to visit.

I truly liked this place and will go back so I can try the food and drinks I didn’t the first time. In two words “Deliciously Cool” MV

Sitting at the bar and enjoying the Salsa is where you may want to start. This is where you’ll find yourself in spice heaven. Not too spicy, not too sweet, but packed with flavor. & what fun is Mexican food without the guacamole? Borracha has an amazing creamy guac that truly melts in your mouth like butter! With everything on the big screens going on you’re going to want to keep those chips coming!

Ordering the “Coconut Ceviche” is a quality second quarter move. What a fantastic way to experience an old favorite in a fun and creative way! The Coconut Ceviche is enticing and refreshing, the perfect pick me up to give the team of your choice those good luck vibes. You’ll definitely want to savor in the tart, and tantalizing dynamic flavor this Coconut Ceviche has to offer. & the best part is, it’s served with fresh banana chips - total game changer from the tortilla chip norm.

marinated diced Portobello, the exciting zing of Pico de Gallo, sweet corn, perfectly ripe avocados, complimented with a side of rice and beans for added protein. Whoa! Along with the house salsa, this was an easy dish to finish in a flash! Delicious!

If you are looking to tackle something exciting then the “Veggie & Tofu Fajita” is also a great move. Talk about presentation at its finest. Like all the best Fajitas, these are served on a sizzling plate. You will be drawn in as the peppers and onions entice your surroundings with fragrant flavors of fresh food.

Finishing off the game strong, you may want to order the “Heat of the Moment“ to spice things up right when you need it. Made with the best Reposado Tequila this sweet cinnamon rimmed beauty is served with two fresh peppers to make it as spicy as you can handle it. Talk about a game to remember…

Here’s why you need to join: “On top of all the cost saving programs provided by affliated vendors of the NvRA, being part of the Association allows me to keep up with the pulse of the industry from a political standpoint and to the actual health of it. With such insight it’s easier to plan long term and adjust short term.

Joining the NvRA has definitely been one of the smartest decisions I have made.”

MY CAREER

How to start and end conversations at a networking event.

C

hances are that, sometime during your career, you will be required to attend an event for the benefit of your workplace.

If you’re introverted, or think of yourself as an

awkward conversationalist, such outings may fill you with anxiety, especially as one of the biggest networking challenges is how to gracefully start and end the required “small talk.” Below you’ll find

By Anthony Lai

few tips to make those awkward occasions less awkward and even worthwhile.

Start off light Start off with short and friendly conversations with people around you. You needn’t talk about the weather, or something similarly banal (it’s Las Vegas, after all), but instead a simple “How are you” and personal introduction usually suffices.

It’s a great way to break the awkward initial silence and will set a positive tone for the rest of your conversations.

State your purpose Tell people why you’re attending and ask them why they’ve chosen to attend. Hopefully you will be able to find some similarities in both of your answers which will lead toward a pleasant, or even productive, discussion later on.

Focus on your surroundings Another technique to start talking to people is to have the topic be all about the actual event. Does the event come with an agenda or a speaker? Is food and beverage provided? Any entertainment during the event that you can comment on?

Those are a few neutral conversation starters that all the networking attendees can at least share their opinions on.

Ask for a business card Having a business card comes in handy when ending the conversation. This will let the other person know that you are still interested in hearing them, however, gives you the opportunity to leave.

Follow up You should always follow up with the people you meet at an event. Networking extends beyond the quick conversations. The goal is to form business relationships, not transactions.

Most importantly, you should be honest and straightforward with your personal connections while networking. The conversations should be authentic and not forced, otherwise, you lose the value of the contacts you made. Now go out there and network! MV

MY ENTERTAINMENT

Making Milestones and Achieving Dreams

Meet Noelle Chiodo

S

inger/songwriter Noelle Chiodo (chi-do) begins and ends her days the same way.

“I have a dream board in my room,” Noelle said.

“It’s the first thing I see when I wake up and I always take a second look before I go to sleep so I know that every day I’ve accomplished something that brings me closer to those goals.”

Among the dreams she has listed includes winning a Grammy and buying her parents their dream house. Those may be lofty goals, but Noelle is well on her way toward accomplishing them and more.

Noelle recently finished recording her self-titled EP. The first single, “Up All Night”, was released April 1, the second single, “Yellow Van”, will be released end of July, and her third single is expected to release in August. But that’s not all, the full EP will be released early fall where listeners can expect an addicting mix of pop and soul. “People can expect a lot of diversity,” Noelle said. “I think that there’s something for everybody. I have the pop anthem, the urban, let your hair down vibe and I have other songs that represent the soul music I was raised on. People will be surprised.”

Noelle’s talents go beyond singing. She also plays multiple instruments, and played piano and guitar on her EP. The singles are a result of months of work. Noelle wrote and co-produced each song on the EP and she traveled between Las Vegas and Los Angeles to get the five tracks ready and recorded the final vocals at the studio at the Palms, which has seen artists like Celine Dion and Michael Jackson roll through. “It’s been a crazy, but amazing experience,” Noelle said. “I just wanted to make sure I was completely involved with my music, that it sounded the way it did in my head. Some of these songs were songs I’ve had for two years.

I was open to experimenting, but I wanted to make sure the songs remained true to me.”

Noelle’s music is available on all music platforms, including iTunes, Spotify and more. Links can be found at her website, www.noellechiodo.com.

The songs are a culmination of years of refining her craft.

I learned more about the industry and I fell more and more in love with every part of it.”

Noelle learned how to play the piano and guitar along the way and wrote her first song at the age of 12. “That will never see the light of day,” Noelle said, laughing. “I self wrote, produced, and released my first original song when i was 14.”

But it wasn’t long after that her talent for song writing began to develop in earnest. “It didn’t get good until I was 16,” she said. “That’s when I started living more and feeling more real emotions. A lot of my inspiration and love of music also came from growing up in my home.

We had lots of parties and the music that was played would be everything from Soul, Blues, Pop to Latin music. Still to this day when my family has a small or large party there is a lot of diversity in the music and at some point the salsa music will start playing and before you know it everyone is dancing & singing. Music and dance are a way for my family to celebrate, it is an expression of fun & happiness no matter what was going on in life, in that moment they get lost in the music and dance. That’s what music is for people, a way to express themselves whether it be happy, fun, sad or just relaxing.”

Her influences included a pantheon some of music’s biggest names. “Some of my songwriting influences include Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Bruno mars & Lady Gaga. Artist that have been an inspiration are Aretha Franklin, Christina Aguilera, Jessie J, Taylor Swift plus so many others.

Songwriting and singing are my outlet and have always been my best way of expression.

I’m not really good at putting my emotions into words, but give me my piano or guitar, a notepad and pen and I can put it all into a few minutes of melody.”

During high school, Noelle Chiodo performed at various venues in Las Vegas and she minored in music production at UNLV. “It’s amazing,” Noelle said. “Whenever I’m performing, it’s a high. I’m on cloud nine. It’s hard to explain it, but it’s the best feeling in the world.”

Follow Noelle on social media, and sign up for her mailing list to stay up to date for news, upcoming shows and more.

To be at this moment marks a big milestone for Noelle, but she knows this isn’t the destination.

It’s the launching point toward something much bigger. “There’s so much more to accomplish,” Chiodo said. “There’s so much more to do.” MV

Mark your calendar for Wednesday, July 4 where we will serve up lots of great eats, drinks and live entertainment throughout the late-afternoon into the evening on July 4th capping off with an incredible fireworks show as well.

Dishing up some new tasty treats With significant renovations taking place at both Palace Station and the Palms, there’s a variety of new culinary offerings to enjoy. The Palms recently debuted A.C.Y.E Buffet, Lucky Penny, SEND Noodle and Scotch 80 Prime steakhouse. Palace Station will unveil a new FEAST Buffet in August and will also welcome two new restaurants, BBD’s and Boathouse Asian in August to join its existing culinary line up.

When the family is looking for fun time together, and want to stay indoors away from the heat, there’s always a good time to be at SoBe Ice Arena at Fiesta Rancho, a variety of great family-friendly movies at all of our movie theaters and hundreds of bowling lanes available at all five bowling centers.

Life is Beautiful

The Festival of the Year

By Cassie Youssef

As you’re walking through the 18 blocks of joyous crowds, and old school Vegas hotels, be sure to stop and admire the art and murals that have been painted on the walls by past collaborators like Dface and Morag Myerscough; and the props that will blow you away by collaborators like controversial street artist Banksy. Last but certainly not least, don’t forget to swing by the one and only Art Motel, by Meow Wolf, which was once a vacant motel, and now has transformed to exquisite pieces of art during these three days! When it comes to the art in the heart of downtown, nothings is as it seems.

S

in City, gambling, nightlife, and city lights are the first few thoughts that come to mind when one thinks Las Vegas. Yet this beautiful city is host to an astonishing, cultural, unique festival that brings together thousands of tourists, and locals to the beautiful downtown Las Vegas. Three words. Life Is Beautiful.

This festival, which mixes food, music, motivational speakers, and attractions is a once in a lifetime experience that one will never regret. On its sixth year, the festival is slated for its usual three-day extravaganza starting Friday September 21st – Sunday September 23rd, with

The festival also brings in special guest speakers who have previously enlightened the crowd such as Bill Nye the Science Guy, who has attended the festival on a number of occasions, and Lizzie Velaquez spoke to the crowd and who is an antibullying activist. headliners such as The Weeknd, Death Cab For Cutie, Odesza, Travis Scott and so much more.

Visit the food trucks to try specialty foods from culinary geniuses, local mom and pops shops, foods that have been inspired by celebrity chefs, and your all-time favorite restaurants. Make sure you stop and get refreshers from places like Fruits and Roots, try that deep fried grilled cheese sandwich and top it off with deserts from the famous Donut Bar. You will not regret your decisions.

Whether you’re at Life Is Beautiful for the unimaginable art, to watch your favorite headliners take the stage with utter bliss and liveliness, or to try the diverse and delectable food, these are three days that will fill your life with a one of a kind experience.

Tickets are on sale at lifeisbeautiful.com. So bring your family, bring your friends, make a new friend, and experience the enthusiasm in the crowds, because it is as Life Is Beautiful says “A world in which music and art transform, positivity prevails, imagination overwhelms and creativity thrives.”

More than Numbers:

Alzheimer’s Disease in Nevada

MY CHARITY

The Desert Southwest Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association is a 501c3 charitable organization devoted to providing services and support to people like Steve and Jackie. A 24/7 Helpline, support groups, one-on-one consultations, education seminars, respite funds, and lists of medical, memory care facilities, and financial resources are just some of the services available.

Nevadans can support the Alzheimer’s Association Desert Southwest Chapter through donations of funds, volunteering or attending special events. The largest special event is the Walk to End Alzheimer’s that 4,000 people attend annually. This year’s walk will be at Town Square on October 27, 2018.

T

he number of older Americans is growing rapidly, so too is the number of people living with Alzheimer’s and the subsequent impact to the nation’s economy.

By 2050, the total cost of care for Alzheimer’s is projected to increase to more than $1.1 trillion. Nevada has the third highest growth rate for Alzheimer’s in the country. The disease is expected to grow in our state by 42.2% by 2025.

“He’s still a person,” says Jackie. “He still likes to have social interactions. He would really like to be with people more.”

“People stay away,” says Steve. “Don’t stop. Keep coming at me.”

Alzheimer’s patients, family members and caregivers throughout Southern Nevada can call for more information on programs and services, anytime at 702.248.2770 or visit www.alz/dsw.org.

Hear more from Steve and Jackie by visiting www.youtube.com/alzdsw. MV

But numbers alone don’t demonstrate the long-term impact this disease has on families and the need for help in the Southern Nevada community.

Steve Johnson was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2013. “Walking the dogs is part of my routine,” says Steve. “I get out. I’m not sitting in the house all day.”

“I think they picture somebody who just kind of sits there, doesn’t recognize anybody, and doesn’t do anything; those later stages, says Jackie.

“Where he’s at - early to moderate - it can last a really long time…which I didn’t realize.”

Steve and Jackie have been married for 42 years.

“I’m the anti-social person. He’s the gregarious one,” says Jackie. “He wants to be with people, chatting away all the time. He doesn’t do the chatting anymore like he used to. He’s very quiet.

And that’s not him.”

“I don’t have the confidence I used to have,” admits Steve. “I used to be able to carry on a conversation. I can’t.”
