FROM THE EDITOR

DOING GOOD CAPEHART

It’s no secret that philanthropy is a big conversation in Palm Beach County, where significant wealth is juxtaposed with equally substantial need. I’ve seen it firsthand in my own volunteerism for the West Palm Beach Library Foundation, where I serve on the board of directors. Libraries are, by nature, open to all, so the disparity is clear any day of the week, when you can see everyone from well-to-do young families coming in for story time to teenage girls picking up monthly supplies they can’t afford at home. It takes all of us to make a community, and helping each other benefits everyone. That’s the guiding principle of the Junior League, whose Palm Beach chapter turns 85 this year. Over the decades of its existence, its all-female members have provided thousands of volunteer hours and helped build incredible facilities for unmet needs. Through service, these women have become leaders and lifelong advocates for underrepresented voices. In this issue, we salute the Junior League of the Palm Beaches with a series of member profiles, photographed at nonprofits the Junior League has impacted over the years. Turn to “A League of Their Own” on page 104 and meet five philanthropic powerhouses. Speaking of powerhouses, I am convinced there is nothing this month’s cover star can’t do. For the first Palm Beach fundraiser for Spoons Across America, Katherine Gage Boulud—chef, young mom, and wife of celebrated chef Daniel Boulud—transformed Café Boulud into a flower garden and welcomed more than 100 glamorous guests in hats. Walking into the exquisite scene, it was impossible to guess she did it all practically single-handedly. Katherine’s dedication to Spoons stems from her conviction that American eating habits need to change for the better, especially when it comes to children. Read about her mission and everything that led her to this point in “Taste Tester” (page 98). Continuing with our fabulous female lineup, we present the story of HGTV star Sarah Baeumler, who famously moved her family from Canada to a Bahamian island to renovate a derelict hotel and document it in the series Renovation Island. Having stayed at that resort, Caerula Mar in South Andros, post-renovation, I can tell you her design choices are impeccable. Meet Sarah and read about her growing list of fascinating projects in “Doyenne of Design” on page 110. Enjoy this issue and the accompanying Palm Beach Charity Register, which I hope you’ll use to deepen your knowledge of our incredible nonprofit community for your own philanthropic projects.

CONNECTIONS

CAPEHART

My gym closed recently. Let me clarify: the gym that I used to drive my wife to several days a week so that she could work out like a demon closed recently. We found it right before the COVID interruptions and enjoyed the relaxed environment. We became familiar with the faces, followed the schedules of our fellow members, and took pleasure in the “Oh, hey!” moments when we saw that guy who lifted too heavy in the produce aisle at the market. Interpersonal relationships can be like that. You enter a new environment and make quick connections within the situation or circumstance. But often, when the routine is disrupted, those relationships can end just as quickly. Nowadays, Mrs. Duffy and I have no idea what’s happening with Norman the Cardiologist, Brightline Girl, Goatee Guy, or Damien the School Counselor. As have we, I am sure they too have found their way into new workout regimens and connections. As our region has expanded, so has the number of people each of us interact with on a given day. Restaurants open and we meet the funny couple at the next table. You stop at the renovated bagel place and discover a great spot next door to source treats for the grandkids. So, while you may be stewing today at a traffic light for an extra rush-hour cycle, tomorrow you can rejoice that Glazer Hall has opened and The Royal is rife with pre-show dinner options. Each addition creates opportunities to forge new relationships and strengthen existing ones. A fresh set of interpersonal relationships is now evolving at our new gym: with the owner, who is usually halfway through his morning workout when we stroll in at 5:30 a.m.; with the doting father on the treadmill, planning trips to see his son in Miami; with the married couple doing a toddler handoff as one leaves and the other arrives. We are becoming familiar with all of them—their schedules, their connections—as they are with us. I miss the connections from the old gym. They were familiar. It was our routine, until it wasn’t. The Palm Beaches are always evolving, and it’s up to all of us to connect and evolve too. As we kick off season, we here at Palm Beach Illustrated look forward to seeing you Wednesdays at The Colony Hotel for the Living Room Series and at the many events we support across the region. My hope for the season is to create many new relationships as we strengthen existing ones. Until the next one,

SPOTLIGHT

ART IS SERVED For globally recognized West Palm Beach–based fine artist Cayla Birk, savoring art means engaging beyond the visual. Best known for her mixed-media paintings and contemporary Neo-Dadaist style, Birk’s new food-as-art video series transforms significant works into edible masterpieces. A portmanteau of the words “palate” and “palette,” The Palatte reimagines art through the lens of food, transferring mood, energy, composition, and color from canvas to plate. “I’ve always creatively moved through the world and knew my career would be centered around that, but I also come from a hospitality background,” says Birk, who worked in restaurants for more than 15 years. “Over the years, I’ve shared my love for the culinary world via social media, and the response was always overwhelming.” Now entering its third season, The Palatte has featured dishes inspired by works from the Mona Lisa (“raviolo à la mona”) to Mark Rothko’s Yellow, Cherry, Orange (gravlax on toast). Birk typically starts with the painting then plans the dish, but sometimes it’s vice versa. Her creative process is “still very analog” and includes a lot of preplanning and sketches. “I draw every dish prior to even stepping foot in the kitchen,” she says. Outside the kitchen, Birk’s newest series, “Late Checkout,” featuring largescale versions of stationery from wellknown hotels, is slated for exhibition during Miami Art Week.

CERAMICS

FRAGILE FINERY COURTESY OF KASS O’BRIEN

The highly textural nature of artist Kass O’Brien’s work makes it difficult to practice one of the golden rules of art appreciation— look but don’t touch. But that adage is especially important when it comes to her most fragile of art forms. O’Brien’s “kaleidoscope of offerings” includes handmade ceramic pieces for interior settings (think: vases, mirrors, and sconces that can’t help but serve as the focal point of a room) inspired by the natural world, all with an evocative, sculptural style that invites reflection on texture, color, movement, and more. O’Brien took ceramic classes in art school but chose a different route, working as an elementary school art teacher for 20 years. “I fell back in love with ceramics when I was teaching,

Kass O’Brien draws inspiration for her ceramics from nature, with an emphasis on pineapples, barnacles, and more.

but I really dove into it when I started creating my own pieces,” she says. “I was a bit bored just making forms, and I remember seeing this pineapple and how the texture was just so interesting; I thought it would be very cool to create that type of texture in clay. That silly pineapple kind of changed everything.” She moved on to barnacles—an oft-overlooked arthropod. “Barnacles have a special meaning for me because they create a strong glue, and I’m extremely close with my family,” O’Brien shares. For her, barnacles represent a childhood boating adventure from Cape Cod to Erie, her six siblings, her love for the ocean, and happy memories of paddleboarding with her son or shelling with her daughter. “Each piece I make has a memory—a joyful memory of something that either I’ve happened upon or from some experience.” O’Brien keeps studios in West Palm Beach and Lake Forest, Illinois. Her pieces are available on her website as well as locally at The Kemble Shop, Devonshire of Palm Beach, Hive, Casa Branca, and more. (kassobrien.com) —S.S.

MA DIA LAU FC CO

After a recent relocation to West Palm Beach, 30-year-old jewelry designer Claudia Kronfeld has worked her way into locals’ hearts via the most direct route: their pets. Under her eponymous line, Claudia Mae, Kronfeld can create custom charms of your furry friend. The multistep process begins with a photo of your pet, followed by digital sketches that capture features like the tilt of their ears, muzzle shape, markings, and spots. The Claudia Mae team then handcrafts a mini pet portrait in 14- or 18-karat gold, finishing it with optional engravings, diamonds, or sapphires using the brand’s signature burnish-setting technique.

Kronfeld didn’t start with her compass set on bespoke pet jewelry or, in fact, on jewelry at all. Her bedazzled journey began as a “lunchhour escape” from her corporate day job, when she’d window-shop fine jewelry houses but never spotted the gold band she sought. Since the only way to make sure something is done right is to do it yourself, Kronfeld studied under master jewelers and at the Gemological Institute of America and the Fashion Institute of Technology. Today, the Nomad Ring is a brand hallmark, though Kronfeld’s line includes a full collection of rings, necklaces, charms, earrings, bracelets, and more, all created with conflict-free natural diamonds and primarily untreated gems. Her West Palm Beach showroom is open by appointment only. (claudiamae.com) —S.S.

SHOW RUNNER KRAVIS CENTER CEO DIANE QUINN DISHES ON CIRQUE DU SOLEIL’S SIGNATURE HOLIDAY SHOW Diane Quinn was instrumental in bringing ’Twas the Night Before to the Kravis Center.

X KYLE FLUBACKER, MSG ENTERTAINMENT

ERRISSON LAWRENCE

Before joining the Kravis Center as its CEO in 2022, Diane Quinn spent many years at Cirque du Soleil, to include serving as its chief creative officer. Now her worlds are colliding as the iconic Canadian acrobatic theater company will soon perform at the Kravis Center for the first time ever, sharing its holiday show, ’Twas the Night Before, with West Palm Beach audiences November 20-30. “After 17 years in a creative leadership role with Cirque du Soleil, to see ’Twas the Night Before reprised for our stage here is so rewarding,” Quinn says. Inspired by Clement Clarke Moore’s classic poem, A Visit from Saint Nicolas, the show was co-conceived by Quinn and James Hadley, Cirque’s senior artistic director. “The Kravis Center is the ideal intimate venue for this production,” says Hadley. “Audiences are in for an extraordinary experience.” PBI caught up with Quinn and Hadley to learn more about Cirque, this show, and the Kravis Center. (kravis.org)

PBI: How has your experience at Cirque du Soleil influenced your leadership at the Kravis Center? Quinn: Both organizations thrive on multidisciplinary collaborations and leadership that’s not afraid to take creative risks, which fosters an environment where both innovation and forward thinking are key. Cirque really taught me that audiences everywhere are seeking more than entertainment. They want to feel connected and captivated, which is what drives my decision-making. How has this show evolved since premiering in 2019? Hadley: At Cirque du Soleil, we’re constantly evolving and finding new ways to elevate our shows—and ’Twas the

Night Before is no exception. We’ve added some beautiful music, dazzling new costumes, and exciting new acts, all while continuing to deepen the characters and refine the storytelling. What excites me most is the magical blend of reimagined Christmas music, vibrant visuals, and breathtaking aerial moments brought to life by our incredibly talented acrobats and dancers. Was any special accommodation made for such a technically demanding production of this scale? Hadley: Cirque teams have the highest safety standards and perform meticulous technical and artistic validations well in advance of each production to ensure the safety

of our aerialists and stage performers. Thankfully, the Kravis stage is state-of-theart and was built for grand opera, so it is the best-case scenario to accommodate a production of this magnitude and complexity. Has audience feedback or changing demographics helped drive the Kravis Center’s mission to attract programming of this caliber? Quinn: Absolutely. As our community continues to grow, we are responding to that growth by providing an ever-expanding variety of programming. Under the leadership of Georgiana Young, our team has worked diligently year after year to create a rich and inclusive international season lineup. You’ve also leaned into family programming and even offer booster seats for kids. Quinn: Yes, it’s been a vital direction. Last season alone, we welcomed 91,000 students, many of whom experienced professional live entertainment for the first time, which is essential to both our mission and our mandate.

CHANGE MAKER PHILANTHROPY IS PERSONAL FOR THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION’S DANITA DEHANEY BY NILA DO SIMON

Danita R. DeHaney remembers crying in her car on two occasions. Both times involved the people she fights for the most: the local community. Entering her fifth year as president and CEO of the Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties, DeHaney is hitting a stride, as evidenced by the projects she has championed. Take, for example, the Florida State University–backed program she brought to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County that addressed children’s mental health. Ten students who were identified as having social or behavioral setbacks entered a class with instructors ready to teach them cognitive-behavioral tools, art, and play-based techniques. What DeHaney saw unfold was inspiring. “The kids began learning how to identify emotions,” DeHaney says. “At the end of class, a little girl walked up to an instructor and said, ‘I’m feeling sad because I miss my home.’” In a different session, a young boy began coloring a picture of himself, using red to cover his hands and feet. When the facilitator asked him why he colored those body parts with red—the color of anger—the boy said that when he gets upset, he punches and kicks. “This gave the facilitator a chance to break down that emotion with the boy and why he felt that way,” DeHaney adds. “And as she did that, I went out to my car and started to cry.” Philanthropy has been ingrained in DeHaney from a young age; her earliest memories include contributing as

a member of Girl Scout Troop 1349 in Fort Meade, Maryland. She worked for 25 years in higher education, first as associate vice president of alumni relations and development at the University of Maryland, then at the University of Florida as the executive director of its alumni association and then in external affairs. She later became the vice president for institutional advancement of Florida Atlantic University (where she also earned a PhD in business administration and management) and CEO of the Florida Atlantic University Foundation, achieving record-breaking fundraising figures. At the Community Foundation, DeHaney has worked with area donors

to advise them on how to give responsibly to nonprofits, as well as furthered community partnerships. One such partnership is the building of the African American Museum and Research Library in West Palm Beach’s Coleman Park neighborhood, for which the Community Foundation is raising support and providing leadership. Another initiative is improving Palm Beach County’s literacy rate by introducing University of Florida’s Literacy Institute curriculum to nonprofits that work with children at risk for falling behind in academics. Above all, DeHaney is a firm believer that philanthropy can change lives. As she notes: “I think this is what I am here to do.” (yourcommunityfoundation.org) «

It was the (paparazzi) shot heard around the world—or at least around Palm Beach County. On May 23, Swift and Kelce dined at Harry’s in West Palm Beach after rumors swirled that they’d been spotted at Boca Raton’s Meat Market. So began their South Florida era, when they rented a mansion to put Kelce near off-season football training. No word on what they ordered, but let’s hope it was the beef Wellington, a staple since 1972. (harrysbarrestaurant.com)

THROUGH TIME FOR CENTURIES, TEXTILES HAVE TOLD STORIES OF SURVIVAL, SPIRITUALITY, ARTISTRY, AND INNOVATION

From the earliest civilizations, textiles have been used to reflect one’s cultural identity. Derived from the Latin “textilis,” the word “textile” reflects the foundational techniques of and motivations behind making cloth. What began as a practical act of survival—creating nets, clothing, and shelter—has, over the course of humanity, become far richer. According to legend, silk was discovered in China around 2700 BC; its production was a closely guarded secret for thousands of years, ultimately leading to the creation of the Silk Road, an expansive network of trade routes linking the East and the West. In ancient Egypt, linen derived from flax was not only worn by pharaohs but used to bind the dead, connecting the living to the afterlife. Across the Andes, vibrant woven cloth carried spiritual and communal significance, with alpaca and llama yarns dyed in alluring colors to honor the natural world. These early textiles are a window into long-dead civilizations, reminding us that simple cloth could be a record of human

creativity. Across Asia, techniques like Indian ikat or Japanese shibori demonstrated how dye, thread, and expertise could transform simple fibers into vibrant works of art. The vast medieval tapestries of Europe consumed entire walls of castles, often depicting biblical tableaus, mythological and allegorical scenes, and spectacular battles and conquests. As castles gave way to manors and eventually to smaller, more intimate homes, these monumental tapestries were cut apart to suit new spaces, some reduced to fragments as small as pillowcases that adorned tufted and tasseled sofas. Like many facets of human creativity and expression, the Industrial Revolution forever changed the pace of textile production. Modern methods made fabric uniform, affordable, and abundant.

Different cultures have become synonymous with various textiles, such as silk in China (above), alpaca yarn in the Andes (left), and tapestries in Europe (below).

While this threatened handwoven traditions, artisans across the world have protected their techniques perfected over generations. Whether delicate silk or fibrous tapestries, all woven works are, by their nature, organic. The biggest issue you must look for when considering acquiring or presenting pieces is condition. Moisture—and all the evil microbes it can create—must be avoided at all costs. Pay attention to how works are mounted or framed. Some older approaches to framing, for example, have turned out to be detrimental to the pieces themselves. The cost of reversing how something was framed (e.g., glued to a board) can be quite expensive and, in some cases, impossible to accomplish without causing irreparable damage. Always abide by the three Cs: condition, condition, condition. Throughout the twentieth and early twentyfirst centuries, fiber art has experienced a wonderful rebirth. Artists have used textiles as a medium for bold expression, creating sculptures and experimental weavings. Galleries and institutions alike are taking a second look at this category, each reconsidering what was once considered a craft as fine art. When presented well, fiber art and weavings can truly capture the spirit of the artist who created the work, as well as a shared history of humanity. «

How Does Your Garden Grow?

FROM HOME DESIGN TO GRAND GARDENS, THESE NEW RELEASES DIG INTO THE WONDERS OF THE PLANT WORLD

BY MARY MURRAY

JASON INGRAM

THE DARK SIDE For those who prefer gothic glamour to cottagecore, this one is for you. Slated to hit newsstands November 18, Felicia Feaster’s The Goth Garden: The Mystery, Beauty, and Lore of Dark Gardening (Adams Media, $20) is an illustrated encyclopedia that dives into the history and myths behind 50 dark plants. With this book by your side, you’ll be ready to craft your own spooky garden, full of Queen of the Night Tulips, Black Lace Elderberry, and Black Magic Petunias. (simonandschuster.com)

HORTICULTURAL HERITAGE Part-time Palm Beacher Aerin Lauder credits her love of florals to her mother and grandmother, who was the co-founder of the now-iconic Estée Lauder cosmetics company. Aerin followed in her grandmother’s footsteps both in business (she launched her own eponymous global lifestyle brand) and in her passion for petals. In Aerin Lauder: Living with Flowers (Rizzoli, $60), she chronicles the myriad ways she brings flowers into her home and offers ideas for designing arrangements. (rizzoliusa.com)

CUTTING EDGE What philosophies and aesthetics are shaping the gardens of today? In collaboration with an international team of horticultural experts, the editors at Phaidon shed light on that question in The Contemporary Garden ($65). Released in October, this new book features 300 of the greatest contemporary gardens from around the globe, highlighting the work of influential designers from the last several decades. (phaidon.com)

BOB STEFKO

PETAL TO THE METAL Whether you put the tips inside Garden to the Max: Joyful, Visionary, Maximalist Design (Timber Press, $40) to the test or just put the book on your coffee table, it’s bound to spur intrigue among the gardeners in your group. Writer Teresa Woodard and photographer Bob Stefko spotlight more than 20 maximalist gardens from across the United States, with Woodard sharing insight into the inspiration—and ecological aspirations—behind each. (hachettebookgroup.com) 56

FRESHLY PICKED The proliferation of social media has bred influencers of all stripes—including celebrity gardeners. Authors Debra Prinzing and Robin Avni share stories, how-tos, and favorite varieties from 29 of the world’s top floral influencers in The Flower Farmers: Inspiration and Advice from Expert Growers (Abrams Books, $35). Readers will feel like they’re scrolling through their own flower-focused feed, populated by stunning photography and packed with useful tidbits. (abramsbooks.com)

STYLE Tell us about the newest launch of the United in Love collection. The United in Love collection was created as an exploration of connection— how love unites us across boundaries of time, culture, and experience. Our most recent launch expands on that idea with new medallions and jewels that celebrate commitment. They’re meant to be collected, gifted, and passed on, serving as tangible reminders of the ties that hold us together.

What is your brand ethos and design philosophy? At its heart, FoundRae is about providing the tools of self-discovery and selfexpression. Each piece is designed not only as jewelry but as a modern heirloom—meant to be worn, lived in, layered, and collected over time. Our philosophy is grounded in symbolism, quality craftsmanship, and authenticity. We create pieces that honor the past yet are deeply relevant to the present, allowing people to express who they are and who they are becoming. Describe the symbolism and meaning behind your collections. Every collection is built around a lexicon of archetypal symbols that make up our 10 tenets, our core beliefs that inform the choices we make. The jewelry becomes a personal compass: you can wear a piece as a reminder of your own values, milestones, or aspirations, and over time it gathers meaning as part of your life’s story. 64

What inspires you about Palm Beach? Palm Beach has a very particular light—bright, luminous, golden—that feels almost symbolic of joy and vitality. I was inspired by the lush natural surroundings, from palm fronds to the shimmer of the ocean, and by the town’s storied sense of elegance. It felt like the perfect backdrop for FoundRae’s newest doorway, where our symbolic language could intertwine so authentically with a place so rich in natural and cultural texture.

COURTESY OF FOUNDRAE

Where does the name FoundRae come from? The name is a composite of two words that represent the inspiration of the FoundRae collection. “Found” speaks to the idea of uncovering parts of ourselves through the jewels we wear, while “Rae” is a reference to my grandmother’s name, Ray, as in sunray, a ray of light, warmth. Together the name expresses jewelry as a tool of self-discovery that also connects us to something timeless and enduring.

REAL TALK WITH...

Beth Hutchens

The founder of FoundRae jewelry reflects on her design philosophy and new Palm Beach boutique BY KATHERINE LANDE

What in-store experiences will the new store offer to cater to its unique location? The Palm Beach boutique was conceived as a “golden solarium,” a space filled with natural light and symbolic detail. Within that setting, we wanted to create experiences that feel both celebratory and foster individuality. As with all our stores, the Palm Beach location will have an on-site bench jeweler, allowing our clients to create their jewelry story on-site or come in to restyle it whenever they please.

FoundRae collections such as Snow Blossoms (top left), United in Love (above), and Protection (far right) are rich with symbolism. The brand’s Palm Beach exclusive medallion is pictured at right.

A PROPOSAL AT SEA

THE WEDDING AT THE BREAKERS

Richard’s proposal mirrored the essence of their relationship—adventurous yet timeless. Beneath the Florida sun, aboard the vessels that mark their journey, Sarah said yes. • Wolfgang (Cigarette 42X)—symbolizing independence and the freedom of forging their own path. • Mrs. G. (Pershing 6X)—a tribute to Sarah, christened in her honor, signaling a new chapter together. • Wolfpack—their newest vessel, reflecting their belief that life is meant to be shared with loved ones. “The ocean has always been the backdrop of our love— endless, free, and full of possibility.”

On October 10, 2025, Sarah and Richard exchanged vows at Palm Beach’s most iconic venue, The Breakers. The ceremony, equal parts timeless romance and modern glamour, was a tapestry of elegance, emotion, and the enduring presence of those they hold closest. “It wasn’t just about saying ‘I do’—it was about weaving two lives into one, in front of everyone who mattered most.”

RICHARD’S LEGACY

A SHARED VISION Together, Sarah and Richard are building not only a marriage, but a legacy rooted in unity, family, and adventure. Whether hosting soirees, sailing into open horizons, or sharing quiet evenings at home, their bond is a testament to living fully and loving deeply. Palm Beach, with its glittering shoreline, remains their anchor—a place where their forever story begins.

Richard Gonzalez, founding chairman and CEO of AbbVie, shaped one of the most successful biopharmaceutical companies in the world. His leadership and vision are mirrored in his personal life—measured, bold, and rooted in passion. A son of South Florida, his connection to the ocean runs deep, making this nautical chapter of his love story all the more poetic.

SARAH’S WORLD California-born Sarah brings creativity, style, and grace into every facet of life. Fashion and photography are her mediums of expression, while family, tradition, and celebration ground her world. Palm Beach, for Sarah, is a canvas where ocean, art, and elegance converge. “Palm Beach is more than home—it’s where art, fashion, and nature dance with the sea.”

AN EVENING TO REMEMBER Their engagement soirée reflected the life Sarah and Richard have built: warm, welcoming, and touched with sophistication. Friends and family toasted to a love story that felt aspirational, loving and deeply personal.

World-Class Neurosurgery Right Here in Boca Raton. When every second counts, Marcus Neuroscience Institute is here. A fall. A sudden headache. A moment of confusion. For many older adults, these are more than just passing symptoms — they can signal a serious brain bleed called a subdural hematoma. At Marcus Neuroscience Institute at Boca Raton Regional Hospital, part of Baptist Health, patients have access to world-renowned neurosurgeons like Brian Snelling, M.D., director of cerebrovascular and endovascular neurosurgery and director of the stroke program. One of the most promising advances in his field is middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization, a minimally invasive procedure that significantly lowers the risk of subdural hematomas returning — often sparing patients from the need for multiple open surgeries. “This approach has been a game-changer for many of our patients, especially older adults on blood thinners,” says Dr. Snelling. “It allows us to treat the problem safely while helping patients recover faster.” Dr. Snelling and his team are among the most experienced in the nation, with more than seven years of expertise and over 200 MMA embolizations performed. Thanks to a tiny incision in the wrist instead of traditional brain surgery, many patients are able to go home the very same day. This approach is especially safe for older adults and those with fragile health. For patients on blood thinners — whether for heart disease, atrial fibrillation or prior stroke — Dr. Snelling’s method allows medications to be restarted earlier, protecting them from other life-threatening conditions.

Our innovation extends beyond brain bleeds. For patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IH), a condition that can cause severe headaches and vision problems, Marcus Neuroscience Institute offers venous sinus stenting, restoring normal brain pressure and improving quality of life. The Institute is also proud to be enrolled in multiple national stroke trials, giving patients in Boca Raton early access to promising investigational therapies that could define the future of stroke care. But advanced medicine is only part of the story. At Marcus Neuroscience Institute, compassion is central to everything we do. “We know how frightening it is when a loved one is facing a brain emergency,” says Dr. Snelling. “I treat every patient as if he or she was a member of my own family — and I want families to feel informed, supported and reassured every step of the way.” With 24/7 neuro-emergency response, stateof-the-art imaging and a team of experts who care for hundreds of patients each year, Marcus Neuroscience Institute delivers lifesaving care when every second counts — and the peace of mind families need most.

“By 2030, chronic subdural hematoma will be the most common cranial neurosurgical disease — and Marcus Neuroscience Institute is leading the way in treating it.” Brian Snelling, M.D.

Director of Cerebrovascular and Endovascular Neurosurgery Director of Stroke Program Marcus Neuroscience Institute Dr. Brian Snelling is a fellowship-trained neurosurgeon specializing in subdural hematomas, aneurysms, strokes, AVMs and complex surgical diseases of the brain and spine. He is an expert in catheter-based procedures performed through the wrist, which enhance patient safety and speed recovery. Before joining Marcus Neuroscience Institute in 2018, Dr. Snelling completed his neurosurgery residency and fellowship at Jackson Memorial Hospital and the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. Fluent in English and conversational in Spanish, Dr. Snelling has trained hundreds of surgeons worldwide, published extensively and presented at major neurosurgical conferences.

When the Four Seasons debuted on Peninsula Papagayo in 2004, it shifted the trajectory of Costa Rican tourism, trailblazing barefoot luxury in the small Central American nation. More than 20 years later and following a multimillion-dollar refresh, the resort remains a pillar of the peninsula, one that excels across every category: a coveted beachfront setting, a rich roster of activities, a deepened commitment to wellness, and a culinary program that draws as much from local farms as from international traditions. Set across 45 acres at the tip of the peninsula and immersed in a semi-deciduous forest ecosystem, the resort commands one of the most privileged locations in Central America, flanking two sparkling beaches. Facing the bay, Playa Blanca is the center of family activity, while 78

The Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo is home to the Virador Beach Club (above and right), which serves a diverse menu of Eastern Mediterranean fare, seafood, salads, and grilled items. Other property highlights include four pools and the Arnold Palmer Signature Golf Course.

Playa Virador offers Pacific-fronting sands shaded by palms and kissed by surf. A new beach club has brought fresh life to Virador, with Mediterranean-inspired dining that shifts from relaxed by day to atmospheric by night, complemented by an adults-only infinity pool and private cabanas. Three more pools, including a kids’ splash zone and sprawling family pools, provide reprieve from the salty breeze. Accommodations reflect the environment rather than compete with it. The 199 rooms and suites incorporate stone, lava rock, and native wood into their architecture, with interiors that feel pared back but warm.

Even at this size, the property feels alive with nature: iguanas sunning on rocks, butterflies drifting along walkways, monkeys hanging in trees, and more than 150 species of birds punctuating the air with color and song. The Four Seasons thrives on experiences, many of which are complimentary. Days can start with yoga, drift into a rum and chocolate tasting, and spill into tennis, pickleball, or snorkeling. Golfers love the Arnold Palmer Signature Course, a par-72 layout recognized as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary (its 2023 renovation introduced an irrigation system that reduces water use by 20 percent). For more intrepid adventures, Papagayo Explorers takes guests zip-lining through jungle or paddling outrigger canoes, while SurfX allows them to

chase breaks at the famed Witch’s Rock. Wellness is equally defining. Suspended high in the treetops, the new Wellness Shala (designed by Mexican firm Arquitectura Mixta) channels the Guanacaste winds through its open-air, biophilic form. Here, yoga and meditation unfold alongside ancestral healing rituals, while a sound bath with the resort’s master practitioner carries vibrations that seem to ripple through every cell. Closer to sea level, a full-service spa and bi-level gym provide further opportunities to recharge, with most facilities available regardless of booking a treatment. The dining program is just as ambitious. With 80 percent of ingredients drawn from regional farmers and fishermen, the six restaurants create distinct experiences without losing sight of their Costa Rican identity. Virador Beach Club draws inspiration from the Eastern Mediterranean, serving mezze beside the sea. At Pesce, dishes like pumpkin tortellini are a delicate marriage of Italian tradition and Costa Rican sourcing.

Papagayo stand out is not one marquee feature but the way it layers so many strengths together. Two beaches, four pools, endless eco-adventures, a wellness culture that reaches from treetops to shoreline, and a dining scene rooted in place yet expansive in scope—every element reinforces the next. Guests wake to birdsong, spend the day moving between water and wilderness, and close the night with dinner under the stars. Twenty years after its debut, the Four Seasons continues to define Papagayo, proving that its legacy lies in the rare harmony of setting, quality, and breadth. (fourseasons.com/costarica) «

Colin Cowie is an expert in many things. Hailing from Zambia, he is the CEO and founder of Colin Cowie Lifestyle, an internationally lauded event design and planning company that caters to discerning clients around the world. Plus, he’s a published author and TV personality. A self-proclaimed “avid safari junkie,” Cowie has been on at least 50. His most recent was in Botswana, which he visited this summer to check an item off his bucket list: witness the flooding of the Okavango Delta. “What is a desert for half the year becomes this complete fertile land,” he says. “And because of it, you have an abundance of game.” Read on to head out on safari with Cowie. (colincowie.com) —Abigail Duffy

X 1. WHERE TO STAY We stayed at two Wilderness camps. The first one was Chitabe, which was just a phenomenal experience. This area of Botswana is known for having the healthiest and biggest elephant population, so sometimes we would see a herd of 40 to 50 elephants at a time. Then we traveled to King’s Pool camp on the Linyanti River, which divides Botswana from Namibia. The camp was extremely luxurious, with air-conditioned tents, beautiful interior design, and exceptional food. Twenty feet away from our tent was a pod of hippopotamuses in the water. (wildernessdestinations.com) 82

2. MORNING ROUTINE When you fly from the United States to Botswana, you’re jet-lagged and waking up early in the morning. The perfect thing to do is to start your safari right away. Wake up at 5 a.m. with coffee, have a light breakfast sitting around a fire, and watch the sun come up. 3. OUTDOOR ADVENTURE After breakfast, you go looking for animals. Usually, the game hunts are in the early morning or at nighttime. Safari takes place in open-air vehicles, and you spend at least five to six hours a day driving around looking for game.

A LEGEND IN ITS OWN RIGHT SERVICE-FORWARD AND CLASSICALLY ELEGANT, THE PENINSULA STANDS AS ONE OF THE CITY’S HOSPITALITY ICONS BY DAPHNE NIKOLOPOULOS

Clockwise from above: The Peninsula New York’s elegant lobby; The Peninsula Suite; Clement dining room; the Beaux Arts facade fronts a steel structure; Pen Top’s bird’s-eye view of the city.

If you’ve ever stayed at The Peninsula Hong Kong, chances are you use it as a standard—fairly or unfairly—by which to measure other hotels. (The flawless service, the twin helipads, the fleet of Phantoms … I could go on.) While no property is quite the “Grande Dame of the Far East,” the other hotels in The Peninsula portfolio rival its hospitality and glamour while offering a unique sense of place.

The Peninsula New York, for example, is a Manhattan icon whose language is rooted in the city’s history and culture, starting with the building it occupies. The elaborate Beaux Arts structure, patterned after The University Club of New York, began life in 1905 as The Gotham Hotel, an elegant if troubled enterprise that at one point housed the legendary disco L’Interdit. It had changed hands many times before finally hitting its stride under The Peninsula flag. In a city full of luxury hotels, The Peninsula stands out for its Asian-inflected hospi-

tality. From the bellhops in their cute all-white uniforms to the backof-house staff, this team is all about the guest experience. It starts with in-room amenities (who doesn’t love a chocolate Brooklyn Bridge?) and carries through to the old-school-luxe room service and the expert care at dining venues like Pen Top, the rooftop cocktail and small-plate lounge with a breathtaking view. Hotelwide, the motto could be “You will want for nothing.” Among the many superlatives at the brand’s Manhattan outpost is The Peninsula Academy, a program of bespoke excursions designed to provide immersion and rare access to New York City’s landmark institutions. Enjoy a Broadway show with producer’s tickets (seats don’t come any better) and meet the cast with the Behind the Curtain experience, or take the New York City Food Tour and discover the most authentic bagels, hiddengem pizzas, and more during three hours of indulgence. Pro tip: opt for the Top of the Rock Observation Deck add-on and marvel at the great city sprawling at your feet. Not even Hong Kong could compete with that. (peninsula.com/new-york) «

FLORIDIANA COURTESY OF VISIT TALLAHASSEE

Capital Gains TALLAHASSEE EMERGES AS A CULTURAL HOT SPOT WITH A DOSE OF SOUTHERN FLAVOR

X HISTORY IS EVERYWHERE Tally, as it’s known to locals, is rich in history. In the Park Avenue Historic District, don’t miss the Knott House, where the Emancipation Proclamation was read in 1865, liberating enslaved people in the region. Also fascinating is the circa-1835 First Presbyterian Church, the city’s oldest place of worship still offering Sunday services. Or combine history with a night out at places like Amicus Brewing Ventures (amicusbrewingventures.com), located in the city’s first water facility, and The Edison (edisontally.com), whose food is as intriguing as the circa-1921 architecture of the Old City 86

Electric building in which it’s housed. Our favorite historic hybrid? Bar 1903 (bar1903tlh.com), originally the Walker Library and now a lively, if tiny, night spot with a perpetual wait list. FOOD, Y’ALL For a taste of the city’s Southern hospitality, hit up Leon’s at Lake Ella (leonstallahassee.com) for a killer shrimp-and-grits sandwich, enjoy a Southern-inflected brunch (hello, candied bacon) at Table 23 (table23tally.com), or customize your meat-and-three at Earley’s Kitchen (instagram. com/earleyskitchen). For modern fare, The Huntsman (huntsmanrestaurants.com) offers interesting riffs on game meats and foraged food for carnivores and vegans. We’re obsessed with the country-fried South Texas antelope ourselves. At SoMo Walls, The Monroe (themonroetlh.com) combines a lively social scene with creative American cuisine and spirits by the adjacent Walls Distilling Company. Downtown, Il Lusso (illussotally.com) offers elevated Italian fare, like a gorgeous bucatini carbonara, just steps from the Capitol.

ARTSY VIBES One benefit of a three-college town is an intense embrace of the arts. Here, museums are literally found around every bend and music springs from venues both vibrant and moody. The local favorite for music is Blue Tavern in Midtown (bluetaverntallahassee.com), where there’s something happening every night. Take note: Tuesday Blues Day is wildly popular. Bookstore lovers will adore Midtown Reader and its charming pie shop, Piebrary (midtownreader.com), where the reading community gathers for author signings and book club meetups. Every April, the literary and music worlds collide at the Word of South festival (wordofsouthfestival.com), which takes over Cascades Park. Culture vultures will never be bored in the capital city.

In Florida, the saying goes, “You’ve got to go north to go South.” That’s truly the case in Tallahassee, the state’s capital and its most Southern city. Located near the state’s northern border, about 20 minutes’ drive from Georgia, Tallahassee is on the crossroads of Floridian and Southern cultures, and it wears both influences like a baby-blue seersucker suit. Tally’s unique character emerges in everything from its robust music scene and sophisticated literary culture (it’s a college town, after all) to its diverse foodie-ism and quirky but lovable throwbacks. Here, we spotlight three great reasons to love the capital city. (visittallahassee.com)

REGARDLESS OF HUE, ROLLS-ROYCE’S NEWEST GHOST II STILL SETS THE GOLD STANDARD

COURTESY OF ROLLS-ROYCE MOTORS

JOURNEYS

BY HOWARD WALKER

Nothing conjures dreamy images of Provence and the South of France more than sunflowers and lavender. They must have served as inspiration for the color of the equally dreamy Rolls-Royce Ghost II I’ve been piloting around Provence. The color is actually called “Boracay Blue,”

and it was named after Boracay Island in the Philippines. (It’s one of a staggering 44,000 colors offered by Rolls-Royce.) That being said, to my eyes, there are more hints of lavender than blue in its paintwork. Now open the vault-like door and prepare for your jaw to descend at the sight of the sunflower-yellow and white interior. Yes, the yellow is more lemony than sunflower. But coupled with the contrasting leather, it shouts “South of France” more than Brigitte Bardot frolicking in the warm waters off Saint-Tropez. I’m here to sample the newest Ghost Series II, which has just had a nip, tuck, and dab of moisturizer to keep it fresh and in demand. The changes are more evolutionary than revolutionary; the Ghost was completely revamped in 2020, so consider this a mid-cycle refresh. Up front, the Ghost’s unmistakable face boasts slimmer LED headlights, along with a cleaner, less-fussy lower section. At the rear,

there are fresh taillights similar to those on the Spectre electric coupe. New wheels too. Climb aboard and the biggest change is the glass instrument panel stretching the entire width of the dashboard, now with digital gauges. One funky addition is the in-dash clock “cabinet,” which features an illuminated though slightly tacky-looking mini version of the Spirit of Ecstasy. Home base for my Provençal excursion is the glorious Château La Coste. This famed hotel and winery is nestled close to the village of Le Puy-Sainte-Réparade, just a 15-minute drive north of Aix-en-Provence. Acquired by Irish property magnate Paddy McKillen in 2002, it was transformed into a leading organic winery and boutique resort with 28 lavish suites and a robust culinary program. But what really sets Château La Coste apart are its various art installations created by some of the world’s leading architects and artists, everyone from Richard

I’m spending the day threading my way through the mountainous Luberon region, gliding from one French village to another. Part of the magic is what lies beneath that long hood. Unchanged for the Ghost II is the silky-smooth 6.75-liter twin-turbo V12 that’s been here since launch. V12s are fast becoming a thing for the history books, but the Ghost’s potent, smooth 12-cylinder has the power (all 563 horses) to waft this 5,440-pound leviathan from standstill to 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds. It’s still a huge occasion to drive this car. You can’t help but savor the silence, poise, magic carpet–like ride, and hedonistic comfort. Inside, you feel completely buffered from the typical sounds of driving. There’s only the hint of a distant thump as the tires glide across a pothole.

AQUILA’S VERSATILE 36 SPORT POWER CATAMARAN HAS THE SPACE— AND LOTS OF IT—TO CRUISE IN STYLE BY HOWARD WALKER

Twenty-six is quite a crowd. It’s all the U.S. presidents going back to Chester A. Arthur. It’s how many members make up the South Korean K-Pop boy band NCT. It’s how many dancers from New York’s Pilobolus company squeezed into a BMW Mini to set a new Guinness world record. Twenty-six is also the number of warm bodies that can easily fit across the multitude of seating areas that come with Aquila’s spatially spectacular 36 Sport power catamaran. Tally them up: At least eight can get comfy up in the bow. Another 10 or 11 can lounge in the cockpit. An additional four can take in the action at the helm. Three more can perch on the rear-facing transom sofa. Wedding parties and bar mitzvahs? No problem. 92

This family-friendly 36-footer is the top seller in Aquila’s ever-expanding range of power cats that runs from the 28 Molokai fish-catcher to the palatial 70 Luxury. Since the first-generation 36 Sport debuted in 2017, more than 200 examples have been delivered.

Like all Aquilas, it’s built at the sprawling Sino Eagle plant in Hangzhou, China. Aquila itself is based in Florida, with headquarters in Clearwater and sales looked after by the mighty MarineMax empire. It was MarineMax who sold my friend Mike his brand-new 36 Sport earlier this year. He parks it in the slip next to my trusty Mainship 390 trawler near downtown St. Petersburg. A recent relaxing afternoon spent bobbing around Tampa Bay in Mike’s 36 Sport was a great way to discover what makes the cruiser so appealing. The key is its twin hulls and 14-foot-7-inch beam. The combo makes for a wide, superstable platform to deliver all this flexible seating and surprisingly spacious accommodations. Each hull features an en-suite bedroom

And while a 36-foot cruiser typically doesn’t offer much in the way of privacy for a couple of couples, the Aquila’s cabins are on opposite sides of the boat and completely self-contained. When it comes to the 36 Sport, there are a few options with the layout. The standard Sport is more of an open boat, with a windshield and hardtop. Check the box for the Cruiser Package (like Mike’s boat) to get a full glass enclosure—and air-conditioning to boot. Pricewise, a standard open 36 Sport with a pair of 300-hp Mercury Verados sells in the low $700,000s. A Cruiser Package costs around $785,000. Options are plentiful and include a step up to whisper-quiet Verado 400 V10s. The other big option is Aquila’s Hydro Glide Foil System. This clever piece of design—created by the minds behind America’s Cup sailboat foiling technology—adds a wing between the two hulls, plus two winglets farther back. At

cruising speed, the system literally lifts the boat so it sits higher in the water, reducing drag, increasing speed, and improving fuel efficiency. Aquila claims the system can reduce fuel economy by as much as 40 percent. Even without the foils, Mike’s boat is a lively and smooth-riding performer. Flat out with the 300 V8s, we saw a top speed of 44 mph, with those twin hulls slicing through the chop like a hot knife through warm butter. Throttle back to a 37-mph cruise speed and the only noise came from the Jimmy Buffett–playing six-speaker Fusion stereo. Twin hulls and that

wide beam also result in minimal roll, even at anchor with side-on swells. No Dark and Stormies were spilled here. When anchored out or beached on a sandbar (courtesy of a skinny 2-foot draft), the 36 Sport is a lovely place to chill. The one-level cockpit beneath that oversize hardtop boasts a galley with a grill, sink, and fridge. A dinette sits opposite and sliding glass doors lead down into the hull cabins. It’s hard to imagine a more spacious, more versatile, more entertainment-focused 36-footer. I’ll give it 26 out of 26. «

TESTER Katherine Gage Boulud is lending

her culinary talents and advocacy to Spoons Across America, a not-forprofit focused on helping children develop healthy eating habits BY PAIGE BOWERS PHOTOGRAPHY BY JORIANN MAYE-KEEGAN Shot on location at The Brazilian Court Hotel and Café Boulud, Palm Beach

Chef Katherine Gage Boulud’s perspective on food was shaped by her foodie upbringing and work in high-profile kitchens. Now she aims to expand the minds and palates of picky young eaters across the country with her advocacy for Spoons Across America, a not-for-profit that teaches students in Pre-K through middle school the joys and benefits of healthy eating. “One of the most important elements of what we do [at Spoons Across America] is encouraging families to create a ritual of enjoying a meal together that is a place of respite from the rest of the world,” Boulud says. “Statistics show that children will be less likely to do drugs, have a teenage pregnancy, or commit suicide if they are connecting with their families at the table multiple times a week.” Born in New York City and raised in New Jersey, Boulud felt she always had “a foot in the city,” as her mother’s identical twin lived in Manhattan and her father worked downtown at the New York Stock Exchange. She grew up enjoying family meals where everyone sat down, said grace, had conversations with each other, and tried new dishes—even if they weren’t sure they’d like them. Food wasn’t forced on anybody, and Boulud always understood that if she tried something and didn’t like it, she wouldn’t have to try it again for another six months to a year. Food was always something that was happy and positive, she says, noting such favorites as her grandfather’s Caesar salad, his fresh linguine with clam sauce, and buttery-sweet soft-shell 98

One of the most important elements of what we do is encouraging families to create a ritual of enjoying a meal together that is a place of respite from the rest of the world." crabs, which she still adores to this day. That sense of excitement at the table made her a more adventurous eater when she dined out at restaurants. “Going out to dinner, we’d always [take] the opportunity to impress the waiter by ordering something that seemed a little more grown-up,” she recalls. Boulud’s mother loved to cook. Her grandfather loved to cook. She too fell in love with cooking, proficiently following recipes by great chefs as a teenager. Cooking and entertaining were favorite hobbies, and she enjoyed keeping up with the best restaurants. When it came to school, however, the idea of a culinary career had yet to cross her mind. Instead, she earned a degree in art history with a concentration in media and politics. After college, she began studying journalism with the intent to go into cable news. But while volunteering for a U.S. Senate campaign, she was hired full-time as the deputy finance director to spearhead fundraising efforts and organize special events. When that campaign ended, she visited family in Palm Beach for the holidays, and her grandmother suggested that she take a class at the regional culinary school while she was in between jobs. “After one semester, I was hooked,” Boulud shares. While double majoring in culinary arts and hospitality management, Boulud wrote for the school newsletter and cooked at local fundraisers. As a student chef, she trained under chef Zach Bell at Café Boulud in Palm Beach and was selected to cook at the American Pavilion at the Cannes Film Festival. The latter experience set off a series of summers spent living abroad and working in Michelin-starred kitchens in the South of France, Paris, Bali, and Spain. (When not abroad, she worked at Restaurant Daniel in New York.) On the Riviera, she fell in love with the fresh produce and embrace of communal meals. She launched the blog Miel et Lavande (Honey and Lavender) to feature the region’s lifestyle and culinary culture. She would also eventually fall in love with chef Daniel Boulud, whom she married in 2013. They welcomed a son, Julien, in 2014 and a daughter, Gigi, in 2017. Though Boulud was still involved in her husband’s restaurant group, she was also coming to terms with being a wife, a mother to two small children, and a young woman who was prioritizing her family’s health and wellness.

Boulud’s background in professional kitchens, her studies in nutrition education, and her knack for fundraising and forging connections are all on display in her work for Spoons Across America.

“It was not just about me anymore,” she explains. “It was about looking after my family and being very conscious of what my children were putting in their mouths. But I also wanted to teach other children how to have good nutritional habits, too.” Boulud returned to school to study nutrition education, with the goal of teaching children about healthful eating, especially in relation to school lunch programs. “I felt like if I could take what I knew as a chef and add the nutrition side of it, then I would be able to go forth and help children in schools, improve the school lunch system, and get kids eating more healthfully,” she says. “If you start with parents, it can sometimes feel like an uphill battle. But if you start with the children and they bring it to their parents, the parents are much more receptive.” While Boulud was immersed in her studies, her aunt invited her to a benefit for Spoons Across America. Boulud admired the group’s mission of educating children and families on the virtues of good nutrition, supporting local farmers, and coming together at the table around shared family meals. Plus, it already had a nutrition curriculum it was using in schools. She began volunteering with the group—mostly as a chef during Spoons’ fifth grade “dinner party projects,” when program graduates prepare a full meal and host their families in their schools’ cafeterias—and became the vice president of its board of directors in 2018. Since then, she says she has been fully involved in fundraising, forging new partnerships and developing ideas that can bring the organization into every school and afterschool program across the country. “There’s nothing she doesn’t do for us,” says Travis Hicks II, Spoons Across America’s director of development. “She’s a perfectionist and a gogetter [who] goes out of her way to talk about us any way she can. Martha Stewart wouldn’t be at our events if Katherine hadn’t written her a letter to invite her. She’s one of our No. 1 cheerleaders.” One of Spoons Across America’s free initiatives is the Food Exploration Project, which brings together key points from its school-based program. It includes a kit with such necessary “nonedible” tools as a 12-session curriculum guide with handouts and parent newsletters, two books, an electric skillet, child-safe knives, cutting mats, measuring 102 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

cups and spoons, trays, mixing bowls, tasting cups, and 500 wooden stirrers. Many of the recipes can be adapted to use food that is local and seasonal. “The idea is to entice kids into the world of food and to get them to really feel like they’re doing the exploring themselves,” Boulud explains. “It’s very fun in the sense of a science project or experiment in class, where they can put their food explorer cap on and be able to taste things themselves. Kids like to have that kind of control and power over something that’s clearly important, but it’s not something that most kids are doing, and it allows them to have that pride in, well, impressing a server by ordering something they didn’t expect you to order. Kids like to be impressive. They like to act grown-up, and that’s something that the curriculum appeals to. It’s a good path in with them.” Spoons Across America is currently in 200 schools and community-based organizations,

but Boulud says the goal is to keep expanding its reach every year. To do that, fundraising will be key, which is good because Hicks says Boulud is a powerhouse. This past February, she raised $150,000 at the inaugural Spoons Across America Winter Hat event at Café Boulud Palm Beach. Then, Spoons raised another $400,000 at its spring fundraiser in New York. Boulud notes that the organization’s current goal for this year is to line up corporate sponsors and foundations that will commit to Spoons for a longer period of time so it can focus more on growth and programming. “If you don’t educate children about food, then how will you get them to eat healthier?” she asks. “I’m not saying that [Spoons] is the entire solution, but I do insist that it is the first step and a critical step in that solution.” With Boulud in the mix, it’s a recipe for success. « PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | NOVEMBER 2025

FOR 85 YEARS, THE JUNIOR LEAGUE OF THE PALM BEACHES HAS HELPED MEET THE NEEDS AND SHAPE THE FUTURE OF THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES—NOT TO MENTION THE WOMEN WHO HAVE BEEN ITS GUIDING LIGHTS BY KELLEY MARCELLUS PHOTOGRAPHY BY CARRIE BRADBURN/CAPEHART

A strong, vibrant community doesn’t happen by accident. No one knows that better than the women who are determined to build a place worth living in, by evaluating unmet needs, making plans to address them, and providing the training needed to sustain them. Started in 1941 by 15 visionary women, the Junior League of the Palm Beaches ( JLPB) operates under the umbrella of the Association of Junior Leagues International, welcoming all women who value its mission of promoting volunteerism, developing leadership in individuals, and improving communities. JLPB has been critical in the development of West Palm Beach’s Cox Science Center and Aquarium, Quantum House, and Fun Zone at Gaines Park as well as the renovations at Vita Nova, to name just a few projects. Over the past four years, JLPB has distributed more than a million feminine products to those in need and helped bolster the reading skills of area school children with more than 24 free Little Libraries that have been installed at Title 1 schools across the county. The organization also supports the work of other nonprofits and governmental programs, and it provides training to its members on effective volunteerism, bolstering leadership skills and relationships that fuel each member’s personal growth. “We are a group of women who want to inspire and be inspired,” says Kate Stamm, JLPB’s current president. “There’s nothing more powerful than a group of women who want to work together. The things that can be done are simply amazing.” (jlpb.org)

A storm blew through on Kathryn Vecellio’s birthday in 1992 and changed everything. She’d become president of JLPB a few months earlier, and when Hurricane Andrew hit on August 24, the organization shifted its focus toward getting supplies to MiamiDade County. “Any plans we had stopped for a while,” recalls Vecellio. “The next day, we started to get everything we possibly could, from food and water to paper towels and diapers, to Miami-Dade County.” JLPB sent 28 truckloads of supplies to those affected and donated $4,000 to the Salvation Army for immediate needs and additional funds to the local Junior League for longer-term relief efforts. Yet, Vecellio and her league of volunteers charged ahead with other plans too. “That year,” she says, “we had 1,433 children from 37 preschools and daycares that we put through our Eye and Ear Alert program.” JLPB also held a health and immunization clinic for adults and children who did not have access to health care. These are just two of the many projects JLPB initiated and supported between 1992 and 1993. For the league’s members, the planning and execution of such programs result in lasting relationships. “You build lifetime friendships,” Vecellio says. “So many projects have benefited so many people that I’ve had a chance to really get to know the community.”

When Laura Russell found JLPB, she was brand new in town and feeling unsettled. “I grew up in Tallahassee, went to college there, and had a really close-knit group of friends,” she says. Someone encouraged Russell to consider the Junior League, and she never looked back. “It truly was one of the best decisions I ever made. I met my best friends in the provisional classroom. We’ve grown together, gone through loves and losses, and come together as leaders.” Russell served as JLPB’s president from 2015 to 2016 (during its seventy-fifth anniversary) and worked on supporting those aging out of the foster care system as it partnered with Vita Nova to give people ages 18 to 25 a “lovely place to go and grow and figure out the next stage of their lives,” she says. Russell is grateful to the women who laid the foundation for the Junior League’s ongoing programs and for what she’s gained through her involvement. “I learned how to plan, run, and contribute to effective meetings and the critical role governance and structure play in nonprofit work,” she says. “There’s truly no better teacher than the hands-on experience you gain in the Junior League. Not to mention you can do it with some of your best friends.” 106 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Julie Rudolph’s Instagram profile boasts “Junior Leaguer 4 Life,” and it’s a motto she stands behind. Rudolph grew up in South Florida and caught the volunteer bug in high school, so joining JLPB was a natural step. When she assumed the role of president in 2020, however, she realized the organization was a pillar of her own strength.

“My mom was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and the sicker she got, the more I volunteered,” says Rudolph, whose mother ultimately passed away from the disease. “The only thing that made me feel better was helping other people.” Given the timing of her presidency, opportunities exploded. JLPB joined forces with Feeding South

Florida to operate its pandemicrelief food distribution program. “By 8 in the morning, we’d have a line of 2,000 cars,” she says. “We’d stay until the trucks were empty, but we never saw the end of the line.” JLPB also marked its eightieth anniversary that year, but plans for a glamorous celebration were dashed. “We got through it, and

here we are at the eighty-fifth,” Rudolph says, noting that though the pandemic impacted membership, the Junior League has rebounded, and its members are ready to serve. “When you volunteer, it makes you feel better as a human, a society, and a woman. When you can’t control anything else, you can control what you do.”

Roberta Jurney was a mother with young children when her neighbor planted a seed about JLPB. “I liked the idea that I could do something that really represented who I was, not as somebody’s mom or wife,” Jurney explains. “It was work that I was going to do to give back to the community.” Jurney served as JLPB’s president from 1994 to 1995 and, over the course of three decades, has been involved with myriad projects—including one that eventually shaped her career. Beginning in the late 1990s, the Junior League worked to open West Palm Beach’s Quantum House in 2001, the only pediatric health care hospitality house between Orlando and Miami. Jurney went on to serve as Quantum House’s CEO for 16 years, after which she returned as a member of the organization’s board of directors. “One of the things that the Junior League has focused on is to train women to become exceptional volunteers who go out to serve on boards of other organizations in the community,” she says of training that is the bedrock for lasting friendships. “[These] women come from all different backgrounds, occupations, and family situations with no other agenda than getting things done right. It’s really a very homegrown vision of making sure that the place where you live is doing the best it can for its people.” 108 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

At a dinner last May, Kate Stamm stood in a line of women who once led the Junior League of the Palm Beaches. They passed a gavel until it landed in Stamm’s hands, marking the start of her yearlong term as president. “I was so impressed by these women,” she recalls. “They had their missions. They were driven. They knew how to carry themselves. I just want to emulate that [example] and have an impact on my community and be of service.” One of JLPB’s focuses this year is on literacy. The approach is multipronged, supporting kids with educational and recreational activities that promote reading, comprehension, and creativity as well as installing Little Libraries at Title 1 schools, serving more than 13,000 students with book donations for lending. Over time, JLPB will shift to meet other community needs, but Stamm assures that gains are not lost. “When something new comes to the page, we work hard to continue all those [previous] projects into perpetuity,” she says. That continuance (“you can join at 22 and be a sustainer at 80,” she says), camaraderie, and mentorship have been the secrets to the Junior League’s success during its 85 years. “Some come to make friends and others come to make a lasting impact on the community,” Stamm says. “All of us find our place within the community.” «

HGTV star and part-time Wellington resident SARAH BAEUMLER has built more than luxury resorts and TV empires—she’s crafted a globe-spanning life that blends family, wellness, and bold creativity BY LINDA MARX PHOTOGRAPHY BY JERRY RABINOWITZ

Sarah Baeumler’s passion for blending functionality with the design of modern, luxurious living spaces has taken her down a less conventional path. Her love for nature, design, family, and thinking outside of the box has brought both challenges and rewards. Raised in Canada, the HGTV personality, entrepreneur, hospitality designer, and lifestyle brand ambassador always had a creative streak—particularly in the arts and dance. After earning a degree in political science and English from Ontario’s Western University in 1999, she pursued a post-graduate degree in international business. The daughter of a creative father who designed furniture as a hobby and a nurse mother, Sarah began her career in Toronto, working with the legal team for one of the largest investment banks in Canada by day and as a dance teacher at night. Still, she dreamed of a more creatively fulfilling life. “I’ve always liked design and am fascinated by wellness and creating healthy lifestyle products,” says Sarah, who now lives part-time in Wellington 110

The property was more of an old bungalow when Sarah and Bryan purchased it. They gutted the home and hangar and built a secondstory addition. Sarah was responsible for the interior design, which now includes colorful paintings by artists like Stacie Krupa (turtle painting, opposite page).

and maintains a West Palm Beach office for her lifestyle products and brands. “I’ve become a blend of both of my parents.” Bringing her vision to life took time. She met her husband, Bryan Baeumler—now also an HGTV personality, entrepreneur, and construction expert—when they were in high school. They started as friends, began dating after college, and were married in 2004. Their dinner-table conversations often revolved around careers, goals, and dreams. Bryan encouraged her to follow her heart. “I needed to work for myself and set my own schedule,” Sarah says of her early frustrations. “I wanted to balance my life outside of the corporate world, and Bryan encouraged me.” 112

Sarah returned to her dancing roots full-time in 2007, opening a dance studio in Canada. She and Bryan also purchased their first commercial building and worked tirelessly to build their careers. “I loved the dance studio because it was a wonderful experience in building a team and working with customers,” she says. “Bryan always told me to work longer than anyone else and figure out how to get where I want to be.” Meanwhile, Bryan was heavily involved with his own company, Baeumler Quality Construction, and looked at television as a wonderful marketing tool. He took a bold step and wrote to HGTV executives, offering to do construction work for free. “We were both interested in TV,” Sarah recalls. “I liked to put my two cents into the work he was doing and actually got to do interior design for various projects on the shows.” In 2007—years before their hit show, Renovation Island, debuted on HGTV in 2020— Bryan’s first major HGTV series, Disaster DIY, premiered. Sarah contributed design work while continuing to run her dance studio.

House of Bryan, which showed Sarah and Bryan building their own custom home, debuted two years later. It was followed by Renovation Inc., which chronicled the Baeumlers’ client projects as they grew their Ontario-based renovation company. The series was a prequel to Renovation Island, which aired until 2022 and followed the family as they undertook the massive renovation of a long-abandoned hotel in South Andros, Bahamas. “We were on vacation with the kids and not shopping for a hotel,” Sarah says of the 2017 Bahamian holiday that started it all. “We like to go off the beaten path in untouched natural areas like South Andros, which is a smaller, family-oriented island. We fell in love with it and were intrigued by a decade-long abandoned hotel we found there.” Eager to restore the property, the couple decided to take their four young children out of school and leave Canada. It was a significant lifestyle shift for the entire family, which includes Quintyn, now 20; Charlotte, 18; Lincoln, 14; and Josephine, 12. “We told our parents and the schoolteachers that we were relocating to the Bahamas because we had a unique opportunity to live and work in another culture,” Sarah says. “Teachers were supportive by packing up work for the kids— journaling, math, science, etc. I was crying because the whole process was so emotional.”

Sarah went for a neutral palette in the home’s kitchen, to include countertops and a stove backsplash in Calacatta marble.

In true Swiss Family Robinson fashion, the family arrived in South Andros by boat, excited yet naive. The hotel had no water and no electricity, and they had no idea where to find fresh food. “At first, we stayed on the boat in the marina and asked a lot of questions,” Sarah recalls of their adventure. “We needed to see what life was like.” Five months later, they started construction on the hotel. The couple found a 700-squarefoot villa and moved in with their kids. Shortly thereafter, they put together a construction and design plan, assembled a small film crew, and let the cameras roll. “We had constant sourcing and shipping issues since we were on an island in a country we didn’t know,” Sarah says. “The experience taught us how to deal with problems and overcome them.” For example, there was no Home Depot, let alone reliable access to construction materials. Yet the children adapted quickly, made friends, played sports, and bonded with their parents. “It was a unique experience for us as a family unit,” Sarah says. “It was stressful and a logistical nightmare. But the kids embraced it, so we all coped.” The result was the late-2019 soft opening of Caerula Mar Club, their boutique luxury resort comprising villas and suites on 10 secluded beachfront acres. But the grand opening in March 2020 coincided with the pandemic lockdown, resulting in a major setback. “We had invested our life and money in the Bahamas, then came COVID,” Sarah says. “But we liked our Bahamian life where we could fish daily, eat mango and papaya, [and] leave the kids outside—where they never got sick like they did in Canada—and just enjoy nature. This was a key moment for us. We felt we could survive on the island.” They remained on South Andros for seven months before reopening the resort, which they still own, operate, and continue to improve with new amenities. Around the time of the lockdown, they visited Florida to look for a home and found a property in Wellington’s Aero Club community. (Bryan is a pilot and now flies Cessnas back and forth from the

Bahamas to Wellington.) They also maintain a home in Canada not far from their corporate head office near Toronto as well as their original villa in South Andros. With frequent travel, home is wherever they land. Sarah spends weekends at the resort in the Bahamas and several days during the week in their Wellington home and at her West Palm Beach office. She juggles a dizzying number of roles as a TV star, designer, and brand ambassador. One of her latest ventures is Prelude,

her sophisticated wellness line of natural coconut cactus body butter, oil, and scrub products, and pure soy candles. She originally created the products for Caerula Mar Club but has relaunched them for sale in the United States. “Working with Sarah is nothing short of inspiring,” says Carlin Domi, brand director for the Sarah Baeumler lifestyle brand. “She’s a true visionary with an unwavering commitment to seeing things through. She doesn’t stop until it’s done—and done beautifully. The truth is she is PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | NOVEMBER 2025

“[Sarah] is a true visionary with an unwavering commitment to seeing things through. She doesn’t stop until it’s done—and done beautifully.” —Carlin Domi just getting started. The best is yet to come.” The Baeumlers want to grow their responsibilities on South Andros and expand their regenerative travel portfolio to include other islands. They have established the 50M Real Estate Fund to support hospitality ventures and a residential community development within the Bahamas. Sarah envisions integrating wellness, sustainable farming, job creation, and marine science into these projects. “Our experience will drive this as we look to buy land in the hospitality sector and community development,” she says. “Since we still live on South Andros, we engage in family time, enjoy the beach, and do a lot of swimming, kayaking, and scuba diving. We love the healthy life.” Another major project is their renovation and redesign of the Pines & Palms Resort in Islamorada, which is featured in a new television series, Building Baeumler, that recently aired in Canada and will later air on HGTV. It showcases their efforts to upgrade the Florida Keys 116

resort while maintaining its historic charm. The show also shares updates from Caerula Mar Club in the Bahamas. Beyond their own shows, the Baeumlers appear on other HGTV series, including Rock the Block, Battle on the Beach, and Home Town Takeover. Recently, they broke ground on two Princess Margaret Cancer Centre Lottery Show Homes near Toronto, with Sarah leading design and Bryan managing construction. Her team also designed the new Ronald McDonald House in Halifax, Nova Scotia—a 44,000-square-foot, four-story facility serving 1,300 families annually. Expanding on her passion for yoga, Sarah operates four U.S. locations of Power Yoga Collective and Power Yoga Canada, with plans to grow to 84 studios in five years. The next U.S. studios are slated for West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and Estero. Her continued success is fueled by her influential voice and massive reach: her TV

shows air in 52 countries, and she has more than 600,000 social media followers. She’s committed to diversity, inclusion, and empowering women—principles that resonate with her audience. “I know I’m busy, but I do like the chase,” Sarah admits. “I fly back and forth to the Bahamas with Bryan piloting. I come and go constantly. Since I love doing many things, I have no plans to slow down.” «

BOLD FLAVORS, COOL COCKTAILS, AND LOCAL FAVORITES

At Pomona, Johnny DeMartini crafts elevated comfort food, from fried chicken to crispy beef lo mein.

OPENINGS

Modern Comforts «

Fans of Lantana’s Ravish Off Ocean will find lots to love at Pomona in downtown Lake Worth Beach. Operated by the same management team as its sister restaurant, Pomona also features fare from executive chef Johnny DeMartini but executed in a more casual way. “We specialize in modern comfort food—familiar items that are priced appropriately but have unique twists and unbelievable flavors,” says operating partner Alexandra Dupuis. “Our cocktail program is ever evolving and has an amazing team behind the curation and creativity. From the back and front of the house, we utilize fresh ingredients that are locally sourced and always aim to support small business vendors.”

Creative highlights include chickpeas dusted with Cheetos, housebrined fried chicken with white gravy, crispy beef lo mein, and loaded Wagyu hot dogs. Pomona is open seven days a week and serves food late into the evening, anchored by a reverse happy hour available from 10 p.m. until close. When it comes to why Lake Worth Beach felt like the right fit for this new spot, Dupuis credits the area’s overall vibe, community spirit, and potential for growth, as evidenced by the reimagination and anticipated 2026 reopening of the historic Gulfstream Hotel. “Lake Worth is one of the remaining downtowns in South Florida that has preserved its oldschool charm,” she says. “It has an amazing community full of wonderful businesses and customers in the surrounding neighborhoods.” (pomonakitchen.com) —Mary Murray

Fall for Maman

Slice of Life COURTESY OF MAMAN

Since its debut in Soho in 2014, Maman has captured America’s affection with its French-inspired design, irresistible baked goods, and seasonal menus. In just over a decade, the café has expanded to more than 50 locations across the country, including a West Palm Beach outpost in CityPlace. And autumn is Maman at its best, when the café goes all in on our obsession for pumpkin spice and fall harvest flavors. This year also ushers in a special collaboration with Martha Stewart to join other seasonal creations (available through December 3). Here are four to anchor your next visit. (mamannyc.com) —Paul Rubio

Pie it Forward offers pies by chefs from the Eau Palm Beach, Wycliffe Golf & Country Club, and Boca Grove Golf & Tennis Club, among others.

CAPEHART

Martha Stewart’s Harvest Tart This savory celebration of the season features butternut squash, carrots, Comté, red onions, roasted garlic, and fresh sage baked in Stewart’s signature all-butter crust.

Spiced Apple Danish with Cinnamon Crumble Expect the taste of autumn in one perfect pastry: a croissant base filled with spiced apples and finished with a brown sugar crumble.

A Thanksgiving feast is just not complete without a delicious pie—pumpkin, apple, or otherwise. And when you purchase one as part of Meals on Wheels of the Palm Beaches’ Pie it Forward program, your pie packs a philanthropic punch. Preorder your pie online from November 1-19 and then pick up the freshly baked delicacy the Tuesday before Thanksgiving at one of three locations: the Palm Beach County Convention Center in West Palm Beach, Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium in Jupiter, or Duffy’s Sports Grill on South Federal Highway in Delray Beach. The pies are baked and donated by chefs at some of Palm Beach County’s top restaurants, country clubs, hotels, and bakeries, such as Table 26, the Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa, and The Colony Hotel. They range in price from $30 to $35, and each purchase provides a week of meals for a local homebound senior. (mowpbpie.org) —M.M.

Maman’s Pumpkin Pie This is a Thanksgiving essential Maman-style, with a pumpkin custard infused with warm spices, topped with whipped mascarpone cream cheese, and nestled in a buttery, flaky crust.

Maple Chocolate Laminated Brioche Comfort meets decadence over layers of brioche ribboned with maple-dark chocolate cream, lightly dusted with powdered sugar. 134 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

WORTH THE DRIVE

In the more than 14 years since he opened Buccan on Palm Beach, Clay Conley has become a titan within the South Florida dining scene. In recent years, the Michelin-recognized, James Beard–nominated chef has found a second home in the Gainesville area, and it is there that he has launched his latest venture: Stoke Barn & Kitchen. Conley and his wife, Averill, founded the 5,000-square-foot, open-air pole barn, kitchen, and event space along with their neighbors, Vanessa and Hutson Rapier. This season, they’re inviting foodies from across the state and beyond to eight monthly prix fixe dinners showcasing hyper-local produce and livestock—all plucked or sourced from the Rapiers’ working farm and other regional purveyors. The food is complemented

by locally brewed beer and kombucha on tap as well as wine from the Rapiers’ family winery in Tuscany, Villa Bibbiani. The series kicked off October 25, and future dates are November 15, December 6, January 10, February 14, March 7, April 11, and May 16. Each meal supports the Stoke mission to showcase the healthiest, most flavorful, most sustainable ingredients from the land while advancing education around local and regenerative agriculture. A hundred percent of proceeds benefit Buccan Provisions, a nonprofit launched by Ember Management Group (the team behind Buccan, Imoto, Buccan Sandwich Shop, and Grato) in April 2020 to combat food insecurity and injustice.

COURTESY OF WEST PALM WINE CO.

When most of our customers at West Palm Wine Co. think about cellaring bottles for the long haul, the usual suspects come to mind: Bordeaux’s structured Cabernets and Merlots, Burgundy’s ethereal Pinot Noirs, and Napa Valley’s powerhouse Cabernets. These regions have earned their reputation for producing wines that evolve beautifully over decades. But some of the most rewarding bottles come from less-expected places. While everyone chases the blue-chip stalwarts, three styles are quietly aging into something spectacular: Cru Beaujolais should be in any serious cellar. Forget everything you know about Beaujolais Nouveau—the 10 crus produce Gamaybased wines with serious aging potential. While lovely in their youth, these wines reveal earthy, Burgundy-like depth after 10 to 15 years. Franciacorta, Italy’s answer to Champagne, is another hidden trea-

sure. Made in the same method, these sparkling wines are built for the long haul. After a decade or so, they develop bakery-like richness and make for truly meditative sipping. Chablis may seem obvious, but many people drink it too soon. We do love young, vivacious Chablis, but delayed gratification can pay off. True Chablis—especially Premier and Grand Cru bottlings—transforms dramatically with age. The beauty of these three styles lies not just in their aging potential but also their accessibility. While top Bordeaux and Burgundy prices have skyrocketed, exceptional examples of Cru Beaujolais, Franciacorta, and Chablis remain relatively affordable, making them perfect for building an age-worthy cellar without breaking the bank.

SAVOR SIP WITH PBI

TOASTING THE SPIRIT(S) OF THE SEASON

L EL VI CO CA FRANCES

FROM THE BAYOU TO YOUR GLASS BY JULES ARON

Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a lively Mexican tradition celebrated November 1 and 2 that honors loved ones who have passed away. Rooted in centuries-old indigenous customs and blended with Spanish Catholic influences, it’s a time to commemorate the lives of those no longer with us. Families create colorful altars adorned with marigolds, candles, and favorite foods, welcoming spirits back for a visit. The holiday reminds us of the importance of remembrance, gratitude, and celebrating life’s enduring connections—values that naturally align with the spirit of Thanksgiving as well. This season, as we reflect on gratitude and the importance of gathering with loved ones, Poydras & Peters at the Loews hotel in New Orleans offers a cocktail that embodies the same sense of celebration. The Bayou Breeze, with its blend of aged tequila, berries, and elderflower liqueur and a hint of heat, balances warmth and refreshment in every sip. Like the holiday’s subtle acknowledgment of life and loss, this drink invites a moment of reflection and connection—an elegant toast to the season’s quiet, meaningful traditions.

X The Bayou Breeze Ingredients 3-4 muddled berries (strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries) 4-6 fresh mint leaves 1-2 slices jalapeño 2 oz. Casamigos Reposado Tequila 3/ 4 oz. elderflower liqueur 1/ 2 oz. fresh lemon juice Splash of Sprite Fresh berries and mint sprig to garnish

JOIN US ON INSTAGRAM FOR SIP WITH PBI EVERY OTHER FRIDAY AT 4 P.M. (@PBILLUSTRATED)

In a cocktail shaker, gently muddle the berries, mint leaves, and jalapeño slices to release their flavors. Pour in the tequila, elderflower liqueur, and fresh lemon juice. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously. Strain the mixture into a tall glass filled with ice. Top with a splash of Sprite and garnish with a few fresh berries and a sprig of mint.

FROM CIT Y TO OCEAN, THE FINE ART OF PALM BEACH LIVING

CARMEL BRANTLEY

Cindy Rinfret designed a complementary bedroom and study area that showcases both bright and vintage elements.

DESIGN

WRITELY SO For New York journalist and novelist Holly Peterson’s Palm Beach apartment, designer Cindy Rinfret wanted the space to relate to the island’s color and playfulness, but in unexpected ways. “It needed to look casual enough for sand and wet bathing suits yet sophisticated enough for a smart Palm Beach cocktail party,” says Rinfret. “It also needed to incorporate Holly’s love of art and photography and her passion for travel.”

For the bedroom and study area, Rinfret mixed vintage classics with bright colors and textures that she deems “Palm Beachy but not too Palm Beachy.” She added a few pops of whimsy, such as the travel-poster-adorned Scalamandre Cote D’Azur wallcovering behind the desk. “This provides a relaxing, happy oasis for Holly to escape New York and pen some of her fun and witty articles.” (rinfretltd.com) —Liza Grant Smith PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | NOVEMBER 2025

ALL THE DIRT on Dirty Kitchens WHILE THE NAME HARDLY SOUNDS ASPIRATIONAL, THIS CULINARY SPACE IS ONE OF THE MOST COVETED HOME DESIGN ELEMENTS FOR 2026

BY LIZA GRANT SMITH

Is a dirty kitchen the same thing as a butler’s pantry or a scullery? While all these spaces are offspring of the same matriarch (the kitchen), they each differ in functionality. Think of the butler’s pantry as a toddler: cute but limited in what it can do. It is typically located between the kitchen and the dining room, and houses tableware, glassware, linens, and other hosting essentials. It can often include a small beverage fridge, a small sink, and/or an ice maker.

EGGERSMANN USA / PHOTO: LINDSEY TANNER, LIVING PROOF REAL ESTATE PHOTOGRAPHY

The scullery is the sensible older sibling: pragmatic and traditional but lacking a bit of innovative thought. The term evolved from the Georgian and Victorian eras, when the scullery was a place where the scullery maid cleaned dishes and scrubbed pots. In more recent times, a scullery has served as a staging area for caterers. It is

primarily for simple prep and postmeal cleanup. The dirty kitchen (or back kitchen) is the teenager: fun, inventive, and not afraid to get their hands dirty. It is a fully functional, often tricked-out kitchen—complete with culinary essentials like a wall oven, fridge, freezer, and deep sink. Adding to its allure, dirty kitchens

typically have counter space to accommodate appliances and gadgets of all sizes. What’s with all the buzz? Several factors have contributed to the popularity of a dirty kitchen. The first is the movement toward open floor plans. The kitchens of old were separated from living areas by actual walls, meaning a messy kitchen could remain concealed while entertaining. In the absence of walls, your kitchen becomes a central visual component of your party venue. The dirty kitchen is a hidden gem that allows your main kitchen— all primped and polished—to remain the leading lady. Additionally, there has been a renewed interest in both home entertaining and traditional hobbies like cooking and baking in recent years. The dirty kitchen frees up space for friends and family members to congregate in the main kitchen and allows for culinary abandon backstage.

What is a “dirty kitchen”? A dirty kitchen is essentially an extra kitchen where your cooking and prep can occur, leaving your main kitchen ready to serve as an unblemished entertaining hub.

What are the keys to a good dirty kitchen? 4. Maintain a cohesive aesthetic but introduce a surprise. While you want the dirty kitchen to complement the style of your main kitchen, a wallpapered ceiling or unexpected cabinet color can add to its panache.

2. Utilize as much of the available square footage as possible and contemplate the organization schematics. Cupboards, deep and shallow drawers, and open shelving are all good options. Many successful dirty kitchens also have at least one wall of floor-to-ceiling storage, replete with open sections for large trays and pans, chopping boards, and other items that can’t be easily nestled away.

5. Let its light shine. While we tend to give less thought to lighting in utility spaces, a dirty kitchen should be the exception. In terms of function, task lighting, under-shelf LEDs, and lighting on motion sensors are welcome inhabitants. When it comes to final touches, a statement-making pendant can be just the right accessory.

3. Durability is paramount. You want a pretty space, but you also want one that will stand the test of time. This means heat-resistant countertops, sturdy cabinets, and flooring that is slip-proof and durable.

6. Personalize to suit your culinary passions. Make sure your dirty kitchen connects with who you are, whether that is an aspiring baker or a pizza lover who wants to craft their own pies.

SUSAN JAMIESON, BRIDGET BEARI DESIGN / PHOTO: SPM PHOTOGRAPHY

1. Think through the flow. Mentally divide the space into zones based on function (i.e., prep, cooking, and cleanup), then design it in terms of layout and storage based on that progression.

WE TRIED IT

GIVE ME STRENGTH babies over three years, I was a little trepidatious to try Solidcore. But my worries melted away as I stepped into the boutique studio on North Railroad Avenue. The staff was friendly and enthusiastic, eager to tell me that I could do it—or, at the very least, survive it. Classes occur in a long, narrow room, flanked by floor-to-ceiling mirrors and lined with lights in Solidcore’s signature blue. Sophia Willis, head instructor at the West Palm studio, got to know everyone—even prompting us to bond over our favorite fall drinks—before the sweat sesh began. I’m not going to mince words: it was hard. Like, sore-muscles-for-days-afterward hard. But instructors are quick to offer modifications to those who need them. At the end of the workout, I was left with feelings of accomplishment and pride, proving that while the physical results of Solidcore come from repetition, the mental benefits are immediate.

Solidcore officially debuted in late September, marking the popular Pilates studio’s second location in Palm Beach County and tenth in Florida. In the years since founder Anne Mahlum launched Solidcore in 2013, the brand has built a national following among both fitness enthusiasts and celebrities; everyone from Sydney Sweeney to Michelle Obama has been spotted in classes across the country. Solidcore offers 50-minute, high-intensity, low-impact, strength-training workouts, conducted on a custom-built Reformer machine. The classes revolve around slow, controlled movements that challenge muscles to their breaking point, with the goal of building them back stronger.

STUDY UP FOR THE 2025 EUDEMONIA SUMMIT BY SKYE SHERMAN

Get your wearables charged and your athleisure ready, because the Eudemonia Summit returns to West Palm Beach this month. The second annual gathering of health, wellness, and longevity zealots will take place November 13-16 at the Palm Beach County Convention Center, and this year’s event is stacked with more leading scientists, researchers, influencers, and voices in the world of next-gen human potential than ever. Returning headliners include neuroscience giant Andrew Huberman and renowned physician Mark Hyman, while new talent includes Blue Zones expert Dan Buettner, author and podcaster Rich Roll, psychedelic pioneer Rick Doblin (founder of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies), author Gabby Bernstein, actress Halle Berry, and more. Below, we review what’s new to optimize your plan for the weekend of well-being. (eudemonia.net)

This year’s Eudemonia Summit includes headliners and highlights such as (clockwise from left) Johanna Hellrigl Wilder, Taryn Toomey, Shiftwave, Halle Berry, Mark Hyman, and the Gracie Brothers.

X EAT WELL, LIVE WELL D.C.-based celeb chef Johanna Hellrigl Wilder has completely revamped what’s on the menu with the help of healthy local vendors, so expect to eat better than ever at the event. GOOD VIBRATIONS Boring, boozy networking obligations be gone— this year, there’s a new outdoor nonalcoholic elixir lounge where attendees can meet, greet, and build real connections. SWEAT IT OUT New fitness and movement modalities added this year include Brazilian jiujitsu from the Gracie Brothers—legends in the world of martial

arts—as well as Taryn Toomey’s The Class, TRX (Total Resistance Exercise), cardio trampoline, balance and mobility workshops with famed physical therapist Kelly Starrett, and even aerial silk meditation. BACK TO CLASS From a panel titled “The Art of Hard Conversations: Are We Really Making America Healthy Again?” to an EEG-monitored piano performance by Dr. Mei Rui—director of the Music-in-Medicine Initiative at the MD Anderson Cancer Center—to talks on everything from Internal Family Systems therapy to metabolism during menopause, Eudemonia promises a full stack of stimulating insights and fascinating lectures, all by the pioneers and experts themselves. SHOP AND SAMPLE Aside from the sessions, the Exposome—a sprawling expo area with two stages—is the

heart and highlight of the summit, and this year, it’s doubled in size. Nearly 120 crunchy and cutting-edge brands will have a presence, offering more than 50 interactive demos of the latest health technology, including an in-vehicle cold plunge by Rivian, four Ammortal chambers, free functional health consultations, a ZeroGravity PEMF lounger, and even guided light, sound, and visualization meditations from Brain Tap. Sound like more than enough to keep you busy? This year, there’s a $69 Exposome-only pass on offer so you don’t have to full-send the agenda and expense of the three-day event.

Nicholas and Samia Pedalino created the Lino SPF 50 All-in-One Serum.

Single-Minded FOCUS Samia Pedalino credits the genesis of Lino Cosmetics to motherhood, sunscreen, and a little bit of impatience. The Palm Beach mom was juggling two kids, three coffees, and about 12 skin-care steps every morning when she realized it was unsustainable. She wanted one product that did it all: sun protection, glow, and hydration with anti-aging benefits that “played nice” under makeup. She teamed up with her husband, Nicholas, a beauty industry veteran, to formulate a clean and effective serum complete with such powerhouse ingredients as vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and green tea. “The serum is like your overachieving best friend because it shows up, does everything you need, and makes you look good without you having to try,” says Samia. “Whether you’re hopping on a Zoom meeting, doing school drop-off, or heading to a beach day, it’s one step and done.” The couple’s efforts have paid off, as their Lino SPF 50 All-in-One Serum was named an Oprah Daily Sun O-ward Winner for 2025. “When Oprah likes your product, you call your mom, cry a little, and then you hug your husband because you both realize those late nights building a beauty brand actually paid off,” Samia shares. “It was surreal, humbling, and one of those pinch-me moments I’ll never forget.” (linocosmetics.com) —Liza Grant Smith

GETTING YOU BACK TO YOUR BEST SELF WHAT IS YOUR SPECIALITY?

I am a fellowship-trained, board-certified orthopedic spinal surgeon. While I do see patients for all orthopaedic issues, and I treat osteoarthritis in all joints with an innovative nonsurgical therapy called A2M, my focus is on spinal disorders such as neck pain, back pain, disc degeneration, disc herniation, and spinal stenosis.

WHAT ARE YOU BEST KNOWN FOR?

I am best known for artificial disc replacement (ADR) surgery, in both the neck (cervical) and low back (lumbar). Very few spine surgeons are trained to perform lumbar ADR, and even fewer perform multilevel lumbar ADR and revision ADR. I have performed nearly 1,500 ADR implantations, more than most surgeons across the country and am considered a specialized spinal arthroplasty surgeon.

WHO SHOULD SEE YOU?

If you are suffering from disc disorders causing low back, leg, neck, or arm pain, or symptoms such as numbness or weakness in your hands or legs, you should be evaluated by an experienced spine surgeon. I strongly believe in doing everything possible to avoid permanent spinal fusion and preserve motion of the spine in patients of all ages. This is best achieved with ADR surgery.

WELLNESS

HIGHER LOVE While many traditional wellness concepts treat health as a clinical Higher Order offers a new social wellness checklist, Ryan and Brittany lifestyle concept in West Palm Beach. Brown view it as a lifestyle and shared journey. Ryan’s diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes and Brittany’s work as a holistic healer underscored their belief that our health care system is too geared toward managing symptoms rather than supporting overall well-being. That’s what led the couple to create Higher Order, a new social wellness sanctuary in West Palm Beach where medicine, movement, and meaningful connection come together. “Most wellness experiences today are fragmented, as your workout happens at the gym, your treatments and consultations in a clinical office, your group fitness classes across boutique studios, and your social life somewhere else entirely,” says Brittany. “Higher Order brings it all under one roof. It’s a club where you can sweat, reset, and connect—all in one day, all in one place. Higher Order is a whole-person, whole-community approach to wellness that feels alive.” Higher Order’s offerings are designed to build resilience, restore balance, and spark connection. Members can experience classes in hot yoga, qigong, guided meditation, and more. They can take part in restorative practices like cold plunges, saunas, and immersive sound baths and also utilize circadian-aligned recovery tools. And they can access modern functional medicine through IV therapies, peptide shots, lab testing, and personalized protocols supported by a clinical team. But most importantly, they can gather—thanks to a zero-proof social lounge, workshops, and retreats where members meet, linger, and grow together. “When people gather with intention, they not only feel better, they sustain the lifestyle,” says Ryan. “In a world that often pulls us apart, Higher Order brings people together around wellness—creating meaningful and lasting results for our members. Personal healing becomes collective transformation when we do it together.” (higherorderhealth.com) —L.G.S.

INSIDE-OUT LUXURY MASTER METABOLIC HEALTH TO FEEL, LOOK, AND BE YOUR BEST

SKIN AND MUSCLE

BY CHLOE KRAMMEL

U CO

You can’t green juice your way to glowing skin or toned muscles—you must build them. Muscle increases your basal metabolic rate, burning more calories at rest than fat. Meanwhile, your skin often reflects your internal metabolic state, making it a visible mirror of overall health.

NUTRITION

Today, health is the highest form of luxury. This is not about what is hanging in your closet, but rather what is happening inside your cells. Imagine you wake up every morning without an alarm and you feel clearheaded, radiant, and energized. Your skin glows without filters. Your appetite is stable. You don’t crash every day at 3 p.m. You have the strength—and motivation—to crush a workout without caffeine. When your metabolism is thriving, so are you. Metabolic wellness is your body’s ability to efficiently regulate blood sugar, produce and use energy, and maintain a healthy balance of hormones and muscle, all of which support overall resilience and long-term health. Here is your game plan, rooted in the four pillars of metabolic wellness that foster the most luxurious feeling of all: being well.

Food is the foundation of metabolic function. Think of your body like a computer: every bite you eat either upgrades its performance or slows it down. You can stack the supplements and wellness routines, but if your foundation is shaky, the whole system will eventually crash.

Glucose spikes = glycation = wrinkles. Frequent glucose spikes trigger glycation, a process wherein sugar binds to collagen and elastin. This stiffens tissue and accelerates wrinkles. Nutrients like omega-7 fatty acids counteract this process, supporting collagen synthesis and blood sugar stabilization. Resistance training is skin care. A 2023 study published in the journal Scientific Reports found that resistance training improved skin elasticity and upper dermal structure and increased dermal thickness in middle-aged women compared to aerobic training.

Prevent glucose spikes. Glucose is your body’s main source of energy, but quick spikes from refined carbs or sugar can trigger mood swings, hormonal imbalances, cravings, and even chronic conditions. Glucose spikes are like split ends: small at first but damaging if left unmanaged. Don’t fear fat. Fear fake food. Fat has long been blamed for heart disease and weight gain, but science now shows that the type of fat and one’s overall diet quality matter far more than simply cutting out fat completely. Healthy fats fuel hormones, brain health, and satiety, while ultra-processed foods do the opposite. The enemy isn’t olive oil or eggs—it’s the lab-engineered ingredients designed to keep you hooked and unwell.

HORMONES Hormones are the chemical messengers of your metabolism. When they’re balanced, your body feels steady and resilient. When they’re off, you’re more likely to experience mood swings, cravings, and fatigue.

Or take note of daily rhythms. Men experience a 24-hour hormonal cycle. Testosterone, cortisol, and DHEA surge in the morning and steadily decline as the day progresses. Sync daily activity with this male “mini cycle” and reserve mornings for strength training, sex, and high-output work; afternoons for lighter tasks; and evenings for rest. Minerals matter. It’s not necessarily how much water you’re drinking but whether it’s hydrating your cells. Magnesium, sodium, and potassium are key players in hormone signaling. Add mineral drops, Celtic sea salt, or coconut water to boost your hydration.

ENERGY Your stamina functions on one thing: energy. This energy is your body’s most honest feedback loop. When your metabolism is running efficiently, you don’t need that third coffee or afternoon nap. Stop borrowing energy from tomorrow. Over-caffeinating spikes cortisol, taxes the nervous system, and makes you crash. Support natural energy by eating high-protein meals and balancing your circadian rhythm with morning sunlight. One night = off track. Just one bad night of sleep can throw your endocrine system out of whack. A 2008 study published in the Journal of Sleep Research found that subjects who experienced significant sleep deprivation had elevated levels of ghrelin (the hungercue hormone) but stable levels of leptin (the satiety-signaling hormone). This means that poor sleep has the potential to increase your perception of hunger.

This is more than a drink—it’s a functional metabolism boost. Coconut water and cream of tartar supply potassium, which helps produce energy, while a pinch of sea salt adds sodium to support adrenal health and cellular hydration. Orange juice has vitamin C, which is essential for collagen synthesis, while the collagen powder provides protein, supporting muscle growth and counteracting a potential glucose spike. Ingredients (serves 1-2) 1 cup coconut water 1/2 cup orange juice 2 tbsp. unflavored collagen powder 1/8 tsp. cream of tartar Pinch of sea salt Slice of citrus and a sprig of rosemary to garnish

Cycle sync your life. Cycle syncing utilizes hormonal fluctuations to optimize energy, strength, and recovery. In the follicular and ovulatory phases (days 1–14), rising and peaking estrogen primes you for strength training, socializing, and high-output work. In the luteal and menstrual phases (days 15–28) progesterone rises then falls, supporting rest and introspection. Align your life with these hormonal peaks and dips so you can work with your body rather than against it.

METABOLIC MOCKTAIL

Combine all ingredients in a shaker or large glass. Stir or shake well until the collagen fully dissolves. Pour over ice in a chilled glass and add garnishes.

WHY WATERLESS? 1. Fewer Preservatives. Water can encourage bacterial and microbe growth, which necessitates preservatives to prevent contamination. Waterless products need fewer or no preservatives, meaning they are gentler on the skin. 2. Concentrated Formulas. Removing water means a higher concentration of active ingredients in your beauty products. Translation? More bang for your buck. 3. Sustainability. Waterless products reduce water consumption and typically have a lower shipping weight and size, which means lower carbon emissions and more eco-friendly packaging.

CREATIVE JUICES

FROM CALMING FLORALS TO ENERGIZING HERBS, BOTANICALS CAN UNLOCK NEW DIMENSIONS OF CREATIVITY

O UR TE SY OF TAM MY FENDER

BY TAMMY FENDER

Simple holistic health practices (including great sleep, exercise, and a diet consisting of whole foods) enhance so many aspects of our lives, but the way these choices support creativity is truly remarkable. Creativity isn’t just for artists; it is a way of thinking and being in the world that breeds new perspectives. Once the nervous system is stabilized at its core, expansive thinking can take us into new dimensions. I’ve made my best and most inspired decisions as a parent, entrepreneur, and holistic practitioner when I’ve felt confident and grounded—all results of a well-regulated nervous system. Beyond the basics of sleep, food, and movement, there are several botanical remedies that can induce creativity through two unique pathways. The beautiful and fragrant florals jasmine and ylang-ylang help sink us into relaxation, a primary requirement to launch into an expanded state of mind. Ylang-ylang, in particular, has been shown to recalibrate the nervous system through regulating blood pressure and pulse rate, 178

which is why I always take a little vial with me wherever I go. On the other hand, herbs like rosemary and peppermint stimulate the mind, stirring new thoughts by increasing fluid circulation in the body. Importantly, peppermint excites circulation through mild vasodilation, offering that energized lift through ease, not overexcitement. To use these botanicals to boost your creative potential, first assess your mindset: do you need to relax to sink into generative thinking or do you need a boost to help you shift into innovation? Then, exercise creativity by inviting these potent essences into your routine. You can use an essential oil diffuser, pour yourself an herbal foot soak spiked with one to two drops, apply diluted oils to the bottoms of your feet, or massage them into an acupuncture point. Sometimes I press a drop into a book and fan the pages. I’ve planted both ylang-ylang

and jasmine below our windows so their fragrances can waft through the house with the breeze. Peppermint and rosemary grow abundantly in my garden, and I blend them into my morning herbal teas. Creativity is something we all crave, not only because of the new possibilities it presents but because it feels so good. When we live creatively, we’re in our most natural state. «

WHERE MONEY OPENS BORDERS TRUMP’S “GOLD CARD” HINTS AT A TREND THAT’S ALREADY RESHAPING GLOBAL MOBILITY: PAY-TO-STAY RESIDENCY PROGRAMS FOR THE ULTRA-WEALTHY BY JOE PYE

In February, President Trump floated a new idea for immigration in the United States: a $5 million “Gold Card” that allows wealthy foreigners a fast track to U.S. citizenship. Except, it’s not all that new an idea. The United States has had an immigration visa program in place since 1990 called EB-5 that grants permanent residency to those who invest at least $800,000 in job-creating business ventures. Trump’s plan, which costs more than five times the price, promises to streamline the citizenship process and tantalize the world’s wealthiest to invest in the United States. Trump is calling his plan the “Gold Card,” like a fancier green card, and it doesn’t sound much different than “Golden Visas,” citizenship and residency by investment programs that serve as luxury alternatives to

traditional immigration paths. Based on its sticker price and details compared to other popular options around the world, the program Trump is pitching may not yield the results he’s looking for, according to Kristin Surak, an associate professor of political sociology at the London School of Economics who has been studying elite mobility and international migration for years. “Trump’s proposal is kind of interesting globally in that it’s a massive increase to $5 million,” says Surak, author of The Golden Passport: Global Mobility for Millionaires. “The average amount is about $270,000, but [they] can go much higher.” Why Americans are Moving Abroad While often grouped together, citizenship and residency by investment are different.

Citizenship is generally for life and even passes to children, while residency can be lost if you divest the qualifying investment. There are 63 countries and five territories that have residency-by-investment programs, and about 20 countries that have legal provisions for citizenship-by-investment programs, Surak says. Historically, Americans sought these programs for schools, business ventures, or banking access. Today, they’re often used as a hedge against instability. Safety issues, including mass shootings, as well as political dynamics and global lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic have led more Americans to explore alternative residency and citizenship as a contingency plan. “This was not there five years ago, definitely not there 10 years ago. And now [Americans are] like, ‘Hey, what are my

180 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

180_WEALTH_1125.indd 180

9/30/25 2:03 PM

options?’” Surak says. “And it’s kind of astounding, because it used to be, ‘Of course, the world is my oyster.’ And then suddenly [with] COVID, people were like, ‘Why can’t I travel wherever I want, whenever I want?’” Simon Gabbay, an executive at the consulting firm Henley & Partners, cites polarized politics as a motivating force for many of his clients. From 2024 to 2025, Henley & Partners has seen a 183 percent increase in Americans requesting consultations on migrating from the United States. Most notably, Gabbay says, is a 39 percent uptick in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the last quarter of 2024. Where Wealthy Americans are Investing in Residency One of the most expensive golden visa programs in the world is New Zealand’s, at NZD 5 million. According to Henley & Partners, the programs most popular with Amer-

icans are Portugal, Greece, Italy, New Zealand, and Costa Rica, with the European options offering Schengen access (the ability of EU and certain non-EU citizens to travel freely among 29 European countries). In contrast, the others provide seclusion and lifestyle appeal. In the Gulf, the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) golden visa program stands out. Launched in 2019, it extends beyond investors to entrepreneurs, academics, and even athletes. In essence, it is the UAE’s way of pulling global talent from all over to live in a country with no income tax and low corporate taxes. Spain launched a $500,000 real estate option in 2013, and experts say property is often the most popular investment route. But

this popularity can also lead to its demise; Spain eliminated its program in April following criticism that it caused housing affordability issues for locals. “When a program gains attention, governments tighten the screw to ensure applicants have the financial capacity,” Gabbay says. “They want to make sure it has a certain exclusivity.” «

FINE LINE After a quiet summer, the Boca Raton Museum of Art is bounding back this season with “Timeless Mucha: The Magic of Line,” a stunning retrospective of works by Czech Art Nouveau pioneer Alphonse Mucha, presented in partnership with the Mucha Foundation. On view November 19 through March 1, the blockbuster exhibition features more than 100 works that highlight Mucha’s influential linework and decorative style, dubbed “le style Mucha.” Mucha rose to prominence in the late-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries with imagery that revolutionized the graphic arts and advertising as they were known, fusing fine art with commercial appeal in his many posters, magazine covers, postcards, calendars, decorative panels, and more. Mucha’s art informed some of the most iconic concert posters and album covers of the second half of the twentieth century (think: the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, The Rolling Stones, and Diana Ross and The Supremes) as well as American comic books and Japanese manga. These contemporary examples will be displayed alongside Mucha’s own creations, illustrating the full extent of his artistic legacy. (bocamuseum.org) —Abigail Duffy

From top left: Nova, No. 36B by John Tyler Christopher (published by Marvel Comics) and The Arts: Poetry by Alphonse Mucha will both be on view in “Timeless Mucha: The Magic of Line.”

Defying Gravity A whimsical exhibition of seemingly weightless works will float into Delray Beach as the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens unveils “Light as Air: The Buoyant Sculptures of Mariko Kusumoto,” on view November 6 to April 5. Hailing from Kumamoto, Japan, Kusumoto draws inspiration from the serene surrounds of the centuries-old Buddhist temple she was raised in. From painting and printmaking to metal sculpture and now tsumami zaiku (the art of folding and pinching cloth), Kusumoto’s works historically draw on her observations of nature. For this exhibit, visitors will be enchanted by the artist’s fiber art that evokes the buoyant beauty of marine life and botanicals, plus a site-specific installation of floating forms in the gallery. Learn about Kusumoto’s process and creative journey firsthand during her talk at the Morikami November 7. (morikami.org) —A.D.
