TALK OF THE TOWN

From cocktail parties to board meetings, everyone is talking about the changing face of Palm Beach. True, the influx of people from other parts of the country has grown exponentially since the pandemic, and our community has changed—but often for the better.

Case in point: among our many new neighbors are some very fascinating, accomplished, and generous individuals who are contributing to their new home in positive ways. People like Bobbi Brown and her husband, Steven Plofker, newish part-time residents of Palm Beach Gardens, are so bullish on this community that they’ve brought their first Jones Road store outside of the Northeast to Palm Beach. And if Jones Road’s opening party is any indication, Palm Beach is equally enamored.

In this month’s cover story, we talk with the woman behind the makeup empire, which she began in 1991 with Bobbi Brown Cosmetics (now owned by Estée Lauder) and recently reinvented with Jones Road. After a few hours in her presence, I found Bobbi to be a whip-smart entrepreneur but also a down-to-earth woman who knows exactly who she is—and walks her talk every day. Get to know her in “American Beauty,” starting on page 94.

PURE POETRY

I love the prose poem by local poet Susannah Winters Simpson, “Buying Spices at the Waterfront Green Market,” with spices as a metaphor for nostalgia and hope. Page 58.

TACOS AND TEMAZCALS

The Riviera Maya’s OG luxury hotel, Maroma, has emerged from its top-to-bottom renovation, and it shines like the gem it is. Page 75.

COURTESY OF THE CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH

Since April marks our annual look at health and well-being, we also feature a wealth of wellness content, starting with “20 Ways to be Happier.” Writer Paige Bowers talked to happiness coaches, therapists, and psychologists across South Florida to glean nuggets of advice and actionable plans for finding—and maintaining—your happy. Check out this information-packed story on page 116.

And if you’re a fan of our fashion features, you’re in for a treat. This month’s editorial, produced by fashion editor Katherine Lande and shot by Nick Mele, is a cheeky take on the social swan’s beauty and health regimen. Follow our “swan” around the clock for such daily musts as “beauty snacking” and “cardio”—in high fashion, of course—beginning on page 108.

Here’s to the good, and healthy, life!

FROM THE PUBLISHER

SUPPORT ABOUNDS

Palm Beach Illustrated has been media sponsor to and an active participant in the Historical Society of Palm Beach County’s “Endless Summer: Palm Beach Resort Wear” fashion exhibit (on view through May 25). As part of the programming, PBI’s fashion editor, Katherine Lande, has moderated panel discussions with such fashion industry luminaries as Mark Badgley, James Mischka, Dee Ocleppo Hilfiger, Sarah Wetenhall, Cameron Silver, and Amy Fine Collins. For the final panel discussion held at Palm Beach Dramaworks, an audience member from the fashion program at the Dreyfoos School of the Arts posed a serious and reasoned question to the group: how do designers bridge the divide between the rarified environs of the island and the audience that seeks to emulate the Palm Beach look?

Without missing a beat, Hilfiger chimed right in. “Fashion is something you buy,” she said. “Personal style is something you create.” The audience applauded both the response and the encouragement from a fashion leader to embrace what it means to be confident in your choices. For me, it was the perfect embodiment of what this community is about. We have such incredible access and opportunity in the Palm Beaches, given the thought leaders who live among us. Palm Beach Illustrated is proud to have helped expand awareness for “Endless Summer” and all the conversations it has inspired.

As our region continues to grow, industry leaders are making Palm Beach County their full-time home. The influx has brought about new ideas and solutions to some intractable problems. One that we became aware of recently through our partners at the Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties is the Early Literacy Fund. Grants from this fund will help support programs that teach phonics-based reading skills to gradeschool students in order to reverse a yearslong decline in reading comprehension scores. The reading program, which originated at the University of Florida, has produced dramatic results in young readers. The goal is to foster a lifetime of reading and improve outcomes for citizens across our region. Kudos to the Community Foundation for channeling its grant making toward this important cause.

Until the next issue,

Sparking Hope for Digestive Disease Research

It’s estimated that more than half a million Americans have Crohn’s disease, a type of inflammatory bowel disease that causes inflammation of the digestive tract. Symptoms can be difficult to live with, including abdominal pain, severe diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss and malnutrition.

“Crohn’s disease has been a part of my life for decades,” says Florida resident Ellen Shulman. “I know firsthand the uncertainty, pain and debilitating effects that accompany it, as well as the emotional impact on those who love you.”

Her own experience with the illness is what motivated her and her husband, Steven Jay Shulman, to make a $5 million gift to Cleveland Clinic Florida in 2022. Their donation is funding research and education in the Digestive Disease Center at Weston Hospital, led by Steven Wexner, MD, PhD (Hon), FACS.

In recognition of their generous contribution, the Center was named the Ellen Leifer Shulman and Steven Shulman Digestive Disease Center.

“For both patients and their families, Ellen and I want to spark hope through action that will yield important results,” says Mr. Shulman, an entrepreneur and veteran of the managed care industry. “With this donation and the world class leadership of Dr. Wexner, we believe that the Digestive Disease Center can achieve new breakthroughs in research and patient care. There will be increased hope both for digestive disease patients and those who love them, thanks to the Center’s work.”

WORLD CLASS CARE OF DIGESTIVE DISEASES

Dr. Wexner (pictured above with the Shulmans) has been helping build the digestive disease programs at Cleveland Clinic Florida for more than 35 years. “Our many achievements have been due to the efforts of our superlative team,” he says. “Since our inception in 1988, we have made numerous advances that have become global standards. Through our teaching, we have disseminated our innovations to our residents and fellows who have become renowned leaders and to colleagues in virtually every country.”

Crohn’s disease has no known cause, although certain factors such as smoking, having an autoimmune disease or a genetic predisposition may increase the risk of developing the condition. And while Crohn’s disease has no cure, treatments and lifestyle changes can keep the disease in remission and prevent complications.

FINISHING

As the florist of the ultra-exclusive, members-only Carriage House on Palm Beach, Betsy Doyle (owner of Hydrangea Flowers & Events in West Palm Beach) pops in several times per week to refresh, rearrange, and replenish house flowers or festoon the club for dinners and events, sometimes with only a few hours’ notice when guests arrange impromptu parties or arrive with special requests.

Over the past two years, Doyle has come to know Carriage House cofounder and creative director Paula Bickford’s taste—her penchant for arrangements with an unarranged, “just popped in from clipping stems

in my English garden” vibe—and sources blooms to complement each space. It’s a tall order when club interiors vary dramatically from room to room, while still maintaining a cohesive elegance that’s hard to put your finger on. Doyle’s ease in designing for various styles stems from her 30 years of experience in men’s fashion, specifically visual merchandising; when you’re creating window displays for brands from Eddie Bauer to Versace, “you zig, you zag, you learn,” she says.

“Betsy has been with us from the start,” says Bickford. “She is lovely to work with, and her kindness shines through in her approach to the florals at the club. She really embraces the concept of Carriage House, always there and ready to adapt to what we need. Betsy is also loved by our members, who enjoy her floral masterclasses throughout the season.” (carriagehousepb.com, hydrangeaflowershop.com) —Skye Sherman

Glimmers OF HOPE

A recent collaboration between Hamilton Jewelers and the Hope for Depression Research Foundation (HDRF) is a natural synergy, as is Hamilton Jewelers’ CEO Hank Siegel’s longtime support of HDRF and its founder and chair, Audrey Gruss. Crafted to inspire, the Charms of Hope jewelry collection—manufactured by Hamilton with design input from Gruss—features necklaces (available in three sizes) and a charm bracelet in 18-karat recycled gold. Having debuted at a private luncheon in February, the Charms of Hope collection is available for purchase at brick-and-mortar Hamilton Jewelers locations (including on Worth Avenue and inside The Gardens Mall) and online. Priced from $1,250 to $7,500, each piece comes in plain gold, gold with yellow sapphires, or gold with diamonds (hamiltonjewelers.com, hopefordepression.org) —S.S.

in a traditionally male-dominated sphere: according to the American Association of University Women, only 34 percent of the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math)

workforce is made up of women. The everyday sea-turtle-saving tasks of the female-led Gordon and Patricia Gray Veterinary Hospital team (composed of both staff and volunteers) are heroic enough, but these marine life specialists also have impressive backgrounds. Barron, who is a licensed wildlife and sea turtle rehabilitator with more than 25 years of experience in wildlife medicine, has authored more than 120 scientific publications and traveled the world speaking and consulting. Amy Kow-

alski, a certified veterinary technician and the hospital’s manager, earned a sea-turtle-focused master’s degree from Florida Atlantic University. Jamie Pescatore, the hospital’s technician and student coordinator, was formerly head sea turtle rehabilitator at The Turtle Hospital in Marathon and is studying to become a certified veterinary technician. Together, they care for an ever-rotating cadre of rescued turtle patients, treating and rehabbing them until they are ready for release. (marinelife.org) —S.S.

Q&A

HOW SWEET IT IS

FOOD BLOGGER MAYA KRAMPF TURNED A PERSONAL QUEST FOR IMPROVED HEALTH INTO A WINNING RECIPE FOR SUCCESS

BY JUDY ALEXANDRA DIEDWARDO

In 2010, when Boca Raton resident Maya Krampf began experimenting with healthy recipes to address her own poor eating habits and addiction to sugar, she had no idea that publishing them online would lead to a fulfilling career. In 2015, she launched her website, Wholesome Yum, sharing lowcarb, sugar-free recipes. Since then, she’s released cookbooks—including The Wholesome Yum Easy Keto Cookbook —and introduced a line of zerosugar products sweetened with Besti, a natural sweetener derived from monk fruit. Krampf sat down with PBI to share her secrets to smart eating and more. (wholesomeyum.com)

PBI: How do you prioritize health within your recipes?

Krampf: I walk a fine line because I’m not a doctor and I can’t cater to specific medical conditions. Whole foods is really my mantra, along with not eating sugar, which is broad enough to benefit most people. Sugar is the root of so many health conditions. … The product line that we developed tastes sweet without spiking insulin levels like sugar does [and] without the unpleasant aftertaste.

What are the best sugar substitutes, especially for kids?

Fresh pineapple, mango, or frozen blueberries.

I also use my Besti zero-sugar line of natural sweeteners for homemade desserts. But I don’t make a slice of birthday cake or an ice cream at a carnival “off-limits.”

Any tips for healthier snacking?

Veggies and homemade ranch dip make great snacks. Proteins, like hardboiled eggs or roasted chickpeas, are ideal and keep you full for longer. Chocolate hummus is also surprisingly satisfying, as is 70 percent dark chocolate, which is low in sugar.

What are some of your favorite secret ways to utilize veggies?

How do you navigate eating out?

Pick a protein and a vegetable for each meal: a taco [with] a Cobb salad, a bun-less burger with a lettuce wrap, pan-seared chicken breast with a side of vegetables. If you can’t resist dessert, get frozen yogurt or vanilla ice cream, which have fewer processed ingredients than most desserts.

I use vegetables in dishes like cauliflower casserole for the comfort food vibe of loaded potatoes. [Also,] zucchini for Parmesan zucchini fries or air-fried zucchini chips.

KRAMPF’S TOP 5 COOKING TIPS

Don’t be stingy with salt. Nothing adds flavor like the right amount of salt, especially in meats, seafood, and chicken.

Stock your spice cabinet. Herbs, spices, and garlic add so much flavor to what-

ever you’re cooking. Use fresh when possible.

Choose a flavor profile as your guide to developing a menu, whether it be Mediterranean, Italian, French— whatever you prefer.

Don’t overcook anything. It’s the most common way to ruin a dish.

Read labels. If you don’t know an ingredient, it’s probably not good for you.

The Staying Power of BROWN Furniture brown

BY SEBASTIAN CLARKE AND KATHERINE VAN DELL

Everyone can think of a term or phrase that makes them cringe. “Brown furniture” is generally one such term that leaves a furniture specialist wincing—whether it be the association traditional furniture has with an often-assumed softening market, its reference to the stuffy sitting rooms of a New England home, or the hours spent tipping over library chairs to check joinery while cataloging an auction. But the real issue with the vague and potentially derogatory term is that it does a disservice to a monumental and highly specific period in English and American furniture making.

12 Chippendale dining chairs, all overshadowed by a towering breakfront bookcase filled with china. Situated nearby is a dusty library with a leather-inset writing table, a matching armchair, and a sizeable terrestrial globe next to a fireplace. While relatable, modern living has moved many collectors away from this approach to decorating. The market and desire for brown furniture has changed dramatically in the past decade, especially in our post-COVID world. Dining tables that have long declined in value are enjoying a renaissance of sorts now that many of us prefer a more intimate dinner party to venturing out to a crowded restaurant. Breakfront bookcases are once again being filled with china for entertaining. Writing tables, partners desks, and anything library related are also in demand as we all struggle to create a home office that functions as an office and not just a dumping ground. Still, the Darwinian nature of the art market has pushed many antique dealers to diversify or close up shop. In general, English and American furniture remains extremely buyable—you just have to know where to look. Auctions are a reliable source, and a relationship with the right antique dealer or decorator can be priceless. Make sure you know the condition of a piece, as the difference between the original patina and a refinished surface can add or subtract zeros to the price.

So, what is brown furniture? The term is most closely associated with English and American furniture made of walnut, mahogany, and even rosewood from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In England, the Georgian period spanned more than a century, from 1714 to 1830. Here in America, the Queen Anne, Chippendale, and Hepplewhite/ Sheraton styles ran concurrently but went by different names.

Historically, these periods and styles have stuck together in interiors. Imagine a Georgian triple-pedestal dining table surrounded by a set of

Understanding the differences between primary timbers is also helpful. Available across England and Northern Europe, walnut has a nutty, earthy brown tone. Tropical mahogany has a depth and warmth that is easy to spot. Normally reserved for highquality pieces, exotic rosewood displays black, inky lines that run through the grain. In the case of rosewood and other endangered tropical hardwoods, there can be complicated export restrictions. While frustrating, these restrictions do dissuade international buyers, meaning those who are not shipping overseas have stronger purchasing power. «

BUYING SPICES AT THE WATERFRONT GREEN MARKET

By Susannah Winters Simpson

(Previously published: Short Editions, 2023)

X

Saturday is overcast. My husband and I are only married four months and we are doing things we think married people do like agreeing to pay to use the parking garage, then holding hands as we climb down four flights of concrete stairs, stairwell covered with murals: marine blue, summer yellow, leaf green, these scrolled over in black spray paint, slogans, and personal symbols. The market is listed as “The Best Green Market in the Country,” we wanted to see what “Best” looked like. Lots of dogs, lots of bicycles. A woman with a French accent dressed in black is selling spices and teas. Smiling, she said my turquoise dress and glass beads are perfect for my coloring, but I remind myself that, after all, she is selling things, making small talk to make a sale. The exotic labels are enough to prompt a sale: African Bird’s Eye powder, Ras El Hanout, Baharat, Cote D’Azur, Turkish asafoetida, Zhug from Yemen, cinnamon from Vietnam, Moroccan Atlas Blend, African, Sri Lankan, Thai curries. Tamarind. White peony. Today, we all walk away from the news: guns, deaths, controversies. Instead, we are walking by booths of orchids, hand-turned wooden bowls, and greeting cards. Send your abuela, your grammy, your nana a note across

the country. Wildflower seeds embedded in recycled paper will sprout in her garden. We are all here to touch and eat and see and smell hope. A beautiful young man and his lover are smelling a spice blend from South Africa, he says “I am South African—let me see.” I pick up a spice bag labeled “Afghan,” open the resealable seam on the small bag, bury my nose in it. It all comes flooding back, my childhood in Kabul, rice pilau, kabobs. I tell her “I grew up in Afghanistan” she nods, she is not surprised. The market goers must tell her their stories as they smell home in small portions on her table.

Use fresh, surprising language and images. Avoid overused words (such as heart, tears, love, soul) and overly “poetic” sounding language.

Be brave. As Don Henley says: “Get down to the heart of the matter.” It takes courage to write what most wants and needs to be said.

Silence your inner critic. Do not edit until you have it all written down. Only then go back and whittle the poem to its essence.

Print the poem in large font. Write the word “breathe” next to each stanza.

Slow down. Read more slowly than you think you should. Pacing every word counts.

Speak up. If there is a microphone, use it. If not, then project.

Palm Beach Atlantic University Celebrates Community Leaders and Scholars at Women of Distinction Luncheon

Since 1968, Palm Beach Atlantic University (PBA) has been committed to whole-person education. With a curriculum rooted in biblical values and the American Free Enterprise system, the university prepares students for their chosen fields, enabling them to grow in wisdom, lead with conviction and serve God boldly.

A key part of service is exemplifying charitable leadership. For more than three decades, PBA’s Women of Distinction event has celebrated women who have done just that.

In February, PBA’s 32nd annual Women of Distinction Luncheon at The Breakers Palm Beach honored community leaders Denise Hanley and Sheila Rinker for their dedication to the Palm Beaches. Proceeds raised scholarship

funds for female students. This year, six scholars were awarded for their excellence in academics, leadership and service. The sold-out event was attended by Palm Beach Mayor Danielle Hickox Moore and Former U.S. Ambassador Bonnie McElveen-Hunter, both of whom are Women of Distinction Hall of Fame honorees.

The event also featured the inaugural Women of Distinction Humanitarian Award to students Claire and AnnaMae Predtechenskis, who became temporary caregivers last year to a nonverbal, autistic young Israeli woman whose family was affected by the Middle East Crisis.

Hanley and Rinker join a growing list of honorees— including veteran advocate Lois Pope; fashion icon Iris Apfel; Harvard Mahoney Neuroscience Institute cofounder Hillie Mahoney; Race for the Cure founder and former U.S. Ambassador Nancy Brinker and philanthropist and chair of the Women of Distinction Committee Frances Fisher—who embody the values of faith, family and service.

Both honorees, Denise Hanley and Sheila Rinker, have demonstrated longtime involvement in charitable causes throughout the region, including PBA.

Hanley has served on numerous boards, including the Rehabilitation Center for Children and Adults and The Ryan Licht Sang Foundation.

Rinker has also served on many boards, including the Palm Beach Habilitation Center and Urban Youth Impact.

This year’s luncheon came at the heels of the groundbreaking of PBA’s Marshall and Vera Lea Rinker Business Hall. The facility is one of four projects planned under the God-Sized Dreams campaign, a major capital plan that will enable PBA to expand programs and build innovative spaces for students, industry leaders, and the public—as the university continues to welcome record-breaking enrollment. At the forefront of these expansion efforts is John Rinker, with the support of his wife, Sheila. They have contributed $20 million, along with $6 million from the Marshall and Vera Lea Rinker Foundation, Inc., making this the largest one-time gift in PBA’s history.

AN ICON REBORN

NESTLED BETWEEN THE JUNGLE AND THE SEA, MAROMA UNVEILS A REINVENTION THAT HONORS ITS MAYAN ROOTS WHILE ELEVATING THE RIVIERA MAYA EXPERIENCE TO NEW HEIGHTS

BY DAPHNE NIKOLOPOULOS

In the 1970s, when the Riviera Maya was a tangle of jungle and virgin coastline, an architect flew over and fell in love. José Luis Moreno acquired a 200-acre site and, after living there for a few years, decided to build a small but stylish hotel that was faithful to the area’s architecture

and artisan traditions. Thus was born Maroma, the first luxury property on the Riviera Maya and the beginning of a tourism juggernaut.

Forty years later, Maroma, a Belmond Hotel since 2002, has emerged from a multimillion-dollar renovation that is worthy of its legend. At the

heart of this reinvention is the spirit of the Maya, which informs everything from design to rituals.

In rethinking spaces, London-based design studio Tara Bernerd & Partners began with the property’s original intention to honor Mayan sacred geometry. Back in the day, Moreno had employed Mayan masons to build every wall with rounded lines, lest any sacred energy get snagged in sharp corners. Bernerd and her team built upon this tradition when adding suites, villas, and public spaces, expanding the resort to 72 keys, four dining destinations, and a new spa.

Every decision was purposeful. Whitewashed buildings with treebranch railings and thatched roofs peek through the verdant growth as if they’ve always been part of the land. Broad balconies and rooftop terraces are positioned to catch the subtropical breezes and sweeping sunrise views. Bernerd worked with local artisans to create a line of furniture that seamlessly merges Mexican regional craftsmanship and international-caliber design, offering a modern take on ancient artistry. A sense of place infuses every space, through elements like the 700,000 Jalisco clay tiles handcrafted for the room and suite floors, Yucateco carved-timber doors, henequen textiles, shell-encrusted chandeliers, and the cutest in-room kaftans embroidered in the Mexican state of Chiapas.

Perhaps the buzziest part of the resort’s reimagining is the opening of

Woodend, celebrity chef Curtis Stone’s first culinary venture in Mexico. The grill-centric restaurant specializes in seafood cooked over an open flame and makes use of local flavors like Mayan chocolate, jocoque, and chaya. Aside from some excellent crudos and grilled fish and meat, Woodend offers a surprising array of vegetable-forward dishes, such as a beautifully composed cabbage heart with seeded macha and Camembert.

Next to Woodend is the new cocktail lounge Bambuco, a fine spot to begin the evening amid elevated Mexican decor and living room–style seating. The bar specializes in Mexican spirits and wines, with a big focus on mezcal and tequila from the country’s various regions. The new Journey into Agave experience, held off-property, spotlights the spirits that define Mexican mixology—worm definitely not included.

Maroma’s experiences extend to the restaurants, and a perennial favorite is the Nixtamal Journey, which teaches guests to make tortillas, from the grinding of the corn to the proper way to flatten the dough for the griddle. Your guide is Tia Olivia, a sweet señora who makes the resort’s tortillas on-site, including the daily breakfast quesadillas served at Casa Mayor. The experience ends with street-style tacos that will trump anything you’ve ever had in the States.

Holistic wellness is a cornerstone of the Maroma ethos, and this is evident at the new Maroma Spa by Guerlain. Centered around the healing power of honey and spirituality of the local Melipona bees, the spa—Guerlain’s first in Latin America—boasts such treatments as the honey-based Bee Healing

Ritual, which combines exfoliation and herbal compresses to soothe and restore.

The spa also features an apothecary with various herbs and botanicals that can be combined in DIY curative recipes. Ask about the apothecary workshops, offered occasionally to share the ancient wisdom surrounding healing plants, as well as how to process them to create naturally therapeutic formulations.

For those who want to delve deeper into a spiritual state, the temazcal—a sort of Mayan sauna—awaits. Inside a tent-like structure on the edge of the beach, a shaman presides over a ceremony while guests sit on benches around a pile of hot stones. After the purification, guests and shaman walk into the sea to cool down and, presumably, feel renewed. It’s a ritual as ancient as the continent’s first people, and, like so many other regional traditions, it comes alive at Maroma. (belmond.com) «

Bahamas BREAK LUXE Lairs

FOUR REASONS TO ESCAPE TO BAHA MAR NOW

BY PAUL RUBIO

Since the multibillion-dollar Baha Mar complex debuted on the Bahamas’ New Providence Island in 2017, it has defined the concept of mega-resort chic. Despite an ambitious size, the property delivers excellence across top-tier hotel products, renowned restaurants, Vegas-style amenities, and fun-in-the-sun experiences, all against a backdrop of dreamy ocean blues. Seven years in, Baha Mar stands at its best—and beckons as an easy and exciting international escape (requiring just a 35- to 55-minute direct flight to Nassau from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, or, now, Palm Beach). Looking for an excuse to visit or return? Here are four. (baha mar.com, rosewoodhotels.com)

X

Across three trusted hotel brands—Grand Hyatt, SLS, and Rosewood—Baha Mar houses a staggering 2,300 rooms and suites. The lion’s share (1,800) are within the towers of Grand Hyatt. Baha Mar’s most refined offering, the 225-key Rosewood Baha Mar, rests on the property’s eastern perimeter, away from the masses and, therefore, delightfully quiet. All rooms, suites, and villas at Rosewood soothe with a contemporary Bahamian aesthetic, each featuring a spacious balcony or a terrace overlooking lush coconut forests (plus turquoise waters from higher floors). A favorite among the myriad room categories is the residential-style, 728-square-foot Ocean View Studio Suite with a separate living space, kitchenette, and full marble bathroom. While Rosewood guests have access to all the trappings of greater Baha Mar, they also have a surfeit of amenities exclusive to them, including a sleek pool and cabana area, private beach, fitness center, and kids club.

SPA Time

What’s a vacation without a visit to the spa? Treat yourself at not one but two wellness sanctuaries: Sense, a Rosewood Spa, and the Caribbean’s sole Espa, both accessible to all Baha Mar visitors. At Sense, choose from more familiar body and facial treatments using products by Maison Caulières and Evidens de Beauté, or wager on the lesser known “Lost Remedies” rooted in native ingredients and traditional healing practices of some of the original inhabitants of the Bahamas, the Arawak Indians and the Lucayans.

Fabulous FOOD

Some 45 food and beverage options are scattered across Baha Mar’s 1,000-acre campus, including ones by big-deal chefs like Daniel Boulud, Dario Cecchini, and Marcus Samuelsson. At Carna, for example, enter Cecchini’s seductive, ambience-heavy steak house and prepare to feast on the best-of-thebest charcuterie, premier cuts of meat from around the world, and sublime shellfish selections. Even at restaurants without celeb-chef backing, expect impressive combos of cuisine and style. Floating over a serene koi pond in the Rosewood gardens, Costa is a seafoodforward Mexican restaurant with a Bahamian twist, featuring items like scorch conch xnipec (a spicy conch salad with tomato, onion, habanero, and avocado puree) and courgette quesadillas made with locally grown zucchini and Oaxaca cheese. At oceanfront Tingum on the Sand, whet your palate with rum-spiked cocktails before a lunch of Bahamian comfort food including sweet corn ribs and jerk shrimp skewers.

Family FUN

Despite adult-centric amenities like the largest casino in the Caribbean, a Jack Nicklaus signature golf course, and shopping arcades rife with high-end brands, there’s another dimension to Baha Mar that’s very familyforward. In addition to kid-friendly pools at the hotels, there’s Baha Bay, a sprawling water park with thrilling slides, a wave pool, a lazy river, and a surf simulator. Families can also enjoy nonmotorized water sports on the beach, watch riveting fountain shows (with fire, lights, and choreographed waterworks), and learn about local wildlife through close encounters. Little ones love the touch tank experience at the Sanctuary, where stingray, nurse shark, and sea turtle feedings also take place. That being said, a favorite animal activity is the “Flamingo Meet and Greet,” a private feeding and 30-minute interactive session with Baha Mar’s ambassador flamingos. Those age 16 and older can also sign up for 55-minute yoga classes with these national birds of the Bahamas—one of the most unique wellness experiences on the planet. «

FLORAL TRIBUTE

CELEBRATING 65 YEARS OF FASHION ICON LILLY PULITZER, THIS SPECIAL-EDITION MOKE MAKES THE PERFECT SHOPPING CART

BY HOWARD WALKER

What better way to embrace your inner Lilly than a Lilly Pulitzer–adorned, all-electric Moke urban cruiser from Moke America? The carmaker has partnered with the famous Florida fashion brand to mark Lilly’s sixty-fifth anniversary with this adorable, limited-edition electric runabout.

How adorable? The Moke is wrapped in Lilly’s “Just Wing It” print with a matching fringe canvas top. Choose from white-painted wheels or go all out with peony pink rims and bumpers. Climb aboard—not too difficult considering there are no doors—and you’ll find a “Just Wing It” dash, peony pink steering wheel, and tennis-ball-size pink shifter knob. By comparison, the refrigerator-white

vinyl seats look positively restrained.

Unless you’ve been living a million miles from the shopping meccas that are Palm Beach’s Worth Avenue, Naples’ Third Street South, or Miami’s Design District, you’ll know the cool car of choice these days is an electric Moke. A baby-blue version with a stripy top is my favorite.

Never heard of a Moke? The cars first appeared in 1964, when the British Motor Corporation started cranking them out. Originally intended as a lightweight army vehicle, they gained fame when Brigitte Bardot was photographed driving one around Saint-Tropez. The Moke has also been featured in no fewer than four James Bond films.

This all-electric version has little in common with the original, apart from that iconic styling. It’s longer, wider, and built stateside in Sarasota.

But a Moke isn’t for everyone. It’s a so-called “LSV” (low-speed vehicle), which means its top speed is restricted to 25 mph. Think of it as a glorified golf cart ideal for spinning heads along shopping streets, in gated communities, or when cruising to the beach. Mokes are fully street-legal, so long as the street has a 35 mph or less speed limit. Trips down I-95 are a no-no.

As for the mechanical bits, it’s all pretty primitive and a million miles from the latest crop of electric vehicles. Driving the front wheels is a 20-hp electric motor juiced by a bank of simple lead-acid batteries. They’ll give a range of around 40 miles, with 8 hours needed for a full recharge using a domestic 120-volt outlet. Just a month or so ago however, Moke America announced it would be offering a lithium-ion battery upgrade to stretch the range to either 50 miles with a 160-amp hour (AH)/60-volt battery or a whopping 75

miles with the beefier 175-AH/72-volt pack.

That being said, the current versions are a joy to drive. They may not be slingshot fast, but they can scoot off the line and hit 25 mph in around 6 seconds. With the wind whipping around that upright windshield and the “wheeee” from the electric motor buzzing in your ears, 25 mph feels more like 75. Between the pin-sharp steering and grippy rubberware, this four-seater scoots around curves like a go-kart. Slotting

into a parking space outside a Lilly store couldn’t be easier.

This special edition comes with a $33,975 price tag. (A standard version starts at $22,975.) As for cruising around town in such a cool, grin-inducing vehicle? Priceless. I’m sure Lilly would have approved. «

SEAT OF POWER

TIARA’S NEW 48 LE OUTBOARD CRUISER HAS COCKPIT SEATING THAT WILL PUT YOU IN A SPIN

BY HOWARD WALKER

There are cool boat features, and then there are really cool boat features. My current favorite is the “power-actuated rotating lounge module” on Michigan-based Tiara Yachts’ brand-new 48 LE luxury cruiser. Think of it as a spinning sofa.

Typically, this bench sits east-west across the Tiara’s roomy cockpit. Yet at the push of a button, it can power-rotate a full 360 degrees. With its unique tracking system, you can position it at any angle you want. Spin it 180 and you can gaze at the sunset over the stern. Rotate it 90 to face the portside, lower the fold-

down terrace, and watch the kids do Greg Louganis–style triples with a twist. The sofa itself features a mirrorvarnished, fold-out table for nibbles, while behind it is an electric grill and food-prep counter. Lift the top and there’s a locker for lines and fenders. It’s just a brilliant piece of design.

The 48 LE is the new flagship of Tiara’s socalled Luxury Express range and sistership to the LS (for Luxury Sport) open dayboat. Both share the same soft-riding deep-V hull design

and triple Mercury 600 V12 outboard setup. However, whereas the LS—with its open foredeck and acres of loungers—is all about family fun in the sun, this new LE is more accommodating. It boasts two roomy cabins and a spacious saloon, which is separated from the cockpit by sliding glass doors and a glass panel that drops down into the bulkhead. The result

is a truly airy feel. Want even more openness? Retract the 8-foot-wide sunroof over the helm and slide open the side windows behind the wraparound windshield.

Below decks there’s a full-beam en-suite primary in the bow with large side-hull windows. Amidships there’s a full-beam guest cabin with twin singles that can slide together to make a double. It even has its own head with a separate shower. All through the boat, the quality of materials, cabinetry, fit, finish, and detailing are hugely impressive—as you’d expect of something with a base price of around $2 million.

To put this new 48 LE through its paces, I’m in St. Petersburg on Florida’s Gulf Coast, where a feisty northerly blow is frothing up Tampa Bay. With joystick control plus bow thruster, easing out of the slip is a cinch. And with such terrific allaround visibility from the helm, the boat is easy to position. Pour on the power and this 16-ton heavyweight lifts elegantly onto the plane in just over 7 seconds and settles into a 30-knot cruise speed. That’s what 1,800 horsepower delivers.

Despite the short, sharp, 3-foot wave action, the Tiara slices through the chop without any slamming or pitching. Even when I push the throttles wide open and the speedo shows 47 knots—just below Tiara’s claimed 49-knot top speed—the 48 LE feels like it’s running at half that velocity.

What sets the 48 apart is its astonishing refinement. With the cockpit doors and sunroof closed, there’s an eerie silence inside the saloon. Much of this comes down to those silent-running V12 Verado outboards hanging off the transom. But throughout the boat, there’s a real focus

The same goes for agility. Spin that lovely wooden wheel and the LE leans confidently into the turn, hardly flinching as it slices through its own wake. There’s precision and plenty of feel with the helm too.

Of course, there’s no lack of competition in the fast-growing sub-50-foot outboard-powered cruiser market, but the Tiara is a standout. Personally, I’d choose it just for that spinning cockpit sofa. «

MAKEUP ARTIST AND ENTREPRENEUR BOBBI

BROWN MARKS A NEW CHAPTER FOR HER BEAUTY EMPIRE

On a bright and clear afternoon, a few weeks ahead of the opening of her newest cosmetics storefront in Palm Beach, makeup mogul Bobbi Brown appears refreshed. Rejuvenated, even. It’s the type of look that a few swipes of lipstick or eyeshadow can never produce. Instead, it’s an expression that’s generated from within.

Sitting against a white wall at her home in Palm Beach Gardens, Brown admits that before this interview began, “I just stuck my finger in Tawny Miracle Balm, and there’s nothing else on my face,” she says, referencing the cult-favorite, multipurpose balm from her newest cosmetics brand, Jones Road. For someone considered a makeup industry legend, there’s an irony to Brown showing up to this conversation not wearing much at all.

A pioneering makeup artist who became the face of her eponymous line in 1991, Brown has been reintroducing herself over the past four years with Jones Road, a brand marketed as clean, no-makeup makeup—aka, makeup for people who don’t feel like wearing makeup. Natural-looking shades and easy-to-apply products have become Jones Road’s calling card. Everything is cruelty-free, made from clean ingredients, and void of potentially harmful chemicals. Fans include Cindy Crawford, Brooke Shields, and Gloria Steinem as well as a legion of TikTok influencers.

Friend and Palm Beacher Daphne Oz (they met when Oz hosted Brown on an episode of The Chew in 2012) is a devoted fan of Jones Road’s brow pencil in Light Brunette—and of Brown’s steadfast focus. “I have especially come to appreciate her fearlessness,” Oz says of Brown. “Every time we get to spend time together, I find myself energized by her belief in herself and her vision, and her enthusiasm to bring every part of herself to the table.”

The Palm Beach location of Jones

Brown launched her epony-

Road—the first in Florida—sits inside a historic building erected around 1915. It was how the sun’s soft light seeped through the windows that sold Brown on the space. Here, as rays filled the room from the west- and south-facing windows on Royal Poinciana Way, Brown remembers saying, “This is it.” The corner space resplendent in sunlight is ideal for makeup application. Today, as Brown is putting the finishing touches on the store, she’s stumped on whether to include some neon acrylic containers. Either way, this Northeast gal knows one thing: “I don’t think it’ll have as much pink as I imagine people here are used to.”

Though Jones Road may be a newer endeavor for Brown, its foundation was set decades ago. While it’s true that Brown believes makeup application can be artistic, she also believes in the art of subtlety. It was a subversive take for a makeup artist during the 1980s and early 1990s, when bold, “more is more” looks were the norm. When she came out with her 10 shades of natural-looking lipsticks in 1991 under the name Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, it shook the cosmetics industry. It was so successful that, in 1995, Estée Lauder bought the company for a reported $74.5 million, retaining Brown as its chief creative officer.

Now more than three decades removed from founding her first company, Brown is a founder once again, this time as a sexagenarian. Launched in October 2020, Jones Road is Brown’s most visible endeavor since breaking with Bobbi Brown Cosmetics and Estée Lauder in 2016. In fact, one could say it was long overdue. After waiting out her noncompete agreement with Estée Lauder (Brown etched a Helen Ficalora charm necklace with the numbers 10/20 to signify the month and year her noncompete ended), Brown debuted Jones Road. And if you ask her, it feels good.

Beauty Tips FOR ANY AGE

1. Hydrate. “My first tip is not a makeup tip. It’s a hydration tip. If you put on makeup and you say you look tired, it’s probably because you are tired and you’re not drinking enough water, and maybe you aren’t eating the right fatty foods.”

2. Use face oil. “For some of us, moisturizer just isn’t enough. You need to layer face oil with a moisturizer.”

3. Try this secret weapon. “We just launched these retouching pencils to color correct purple, red, and gray under your eyes,

and they are game changers. You put it everywhere you’re dark—not just under your eyes—and it blends in on your skin. I also recommend that you apply it in the inner corner of your eyes [to] open up the eyes. Then throw some mascara on and you’re ready to go.”

“ I wanted to make the best brown pencil and the best brown eyeshadow out there so I could use it. And, if I think it’s the best, I assume my friends will think it’s the best.”

“It was really important to me to be in charge,” she says, “and to have my freedom. Anyone who has signed a noncompete knows it feels so good and freeing to be released from it.”

Named after a street in the Hamptons, Jones Road is an ode to women as they are: their natural, beautiful selves. The idea really took shape around, of all seasons, Halloween. Back when she was with Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, Brown would gift trick-or-treaters at her home in Montclair, New Jersey, with candy and Bobbi Brown

Cosmetics products. The neighborhood fete was attended by a thousand revelers (estimates Brown’s husband, businessman Steven Plofker) who would look forward to the gifts. Now that Brown had left Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, Plofker says his wife was concerned about what else to give the trick-or-treaters. “She found a lab that made lip gloss and gave it out,” he shares.

“We didn’t sit down over dinner one day and say, ‘Let’s start a company,’” Plofker continues. “We don’t think like that. We didn’t think about a brand or selling; it was just something that Bobbi wanted to do.”

The giveaway was a hit. Not only was the gloss beautiful, but it was clean, a requirement that Brown had as she leaned into a healthier lifestyle. “It’s like telling my kids to put their seat belt on; it’s just what you do,” Brown says about this embrace of clean products.

With help from her close-knit team at Jones Road—which includes Plofker; her son, Cody, who serves as chief marketing officer; and Payal, her daughter-in-law and head of brand—Brown says the company is finding success in being an unapologetic reflection of her. In fact, when asked for whom Brown created Jones Road, she says without hesitation, “Me!” The reason was simple: “I wanted to make the best brown pencil and the best brown eyeshadow out there so I could use it. And, if I think it’s the best, I assume my friends will think it’s the best.”

If sales are any indication, then Jones Road is loved by more than just Brown and her friends. Industry sources estimate that Jones Road earned $20 million in 2021, three times that in 2022, and nearly double that total in 2023. In addition, the brand has a gamut of dedicated fans that range from those close to Brown’s age (66) to a younger demographic, thanks in part to a strategic social media presence. Via platforms like TikTok, Brown speaks directly to her multiage, multiracial audience, giving tips on how to use the products and responding to user questions.

Jones Road is a family affair, with Brown’s husband, Steven Plofker (opposite page), son, and daughter-in-law all involved. Brown and Plofker purchased their Palm Beach Gardens home in 2022 and now reside there part-time with their chocolate brown rescue dog, Pippa (left).

“It’s instantaneous,” Brown says of social media. “I also knew people were struggling with products like our Miracle Balm. So, I told them in a video, ‘You’ve got to break the seal, and that gets it going.’”

At the end of the day, Brown still thinks of herself as a teacher. The author of nine books on makeup application and a MasterClass instructor, Brown never wanted to be a salesperson. In fact, she downright refuses to be one. “Even when I went on QVC, I refused to sell things,” she says. “I will teach, though. I still am the same way; I want to teach women how not to look tired and how to apply mascara.”

Ron Robinson, an industry peer and founder of skin care line BeautyStat, says Brown has been influential in his career. As a new entrepreneur, Robinson would listen with intent when Brown would tell him and others to go with their gut. “I look to her as a mentor and guide, and [for] how entrepreneurs should trust their feelings,” he says. “That hasn’t steered me wrong.”

Life these days has shifted slightly for Brown. She now splits her time between her homes in Montclair and Palm Beach Gardens, which she and Plofker purchased in 2022. She’s a grandmother to a toddler named Lily, whom Brown is “smitten” with. When she’s at her Palm Beach Gardens home, Brown says she has fewer distractions because “there’s no office here. It’s just me and my husband and my dog,” a chocolate brown rescue they’ve named Pippa. The Florida lifestyle has given her more time for her morning walks, with most business meetings starting around 11 a.m. instead of 9. She even plans to pop into the Palm Beach store to interact with customers, Plofker says.

After all, to Brown, if life has taught her anything, it’s that it should be as easy as applying makeup. “Throw on some Miracle Balm, some blush on your cheeks, and that’s it,” she says. “It’s the same philosophy I have in life: be simple.” «

When Brown was searching for a location for her Palm Beach store (opposite page), one of the deciding factors was the space’s surfeit of sunlight.

The new Jones Road storefront—Brown’s first in Florida—is in good company along Royal Poinciana Way, which has seen an influx of new businesses and restaurants in recent years.

This is bolstered by findings (published in a 2015 issue of the Journal of Physiological Anthropology) that plant-related tasks can potentially reduce stress by suppressing the autonomic nervous system. Other studies and reviews have identified additional ways in which living with plants may support physical, mental, and emotional health, such as speedier recovery from illness, decreased fatigue, increased feelings of happiness, and improved attention span.

For Stephanie Amaro, founder of Garden Girl West Palm Beach, consistency is key when it comes to nurturing plants and their impacts on health. Within nine years, Amaro went from being a casual caretaker to looking after more than 5,000 specimens across her two greenhouses and nursery-certified backyard, shipping 150 plants per week out of her home.

“With plants … everything thrives on consistency,” says Amaro. So, too, do the people working with them. “It keeps you active. It keeps you moving, [which is] a health benefit. If your plants are inside or outside, you still have to care for them constantly.”

Houseplants also do wonders for their caretaker’s environment. Plants oxygenate the space around them, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen during photosynthesis. Furthermore, they humidify the air during transpiration (the process of a plant releasing water vapor

from its leaves as a byproduct of absorbing water from soil), which has been shown to alleviate dry skin, soothe sinuses, and reduce allergies. Clustering plants together increases these effects.

As the popularity of plant collecting has grown, their design possibilities have flourished. Gone are the days of confining your photosynthesizing pals to hanging baskets, desktop planters, and windowsill propagations. Talita Gutierrez, founder of São Paulo– and Miami-based Verde Vertical, takes biophilic design to new heights with her vertical gardens—towering mosaic installations of living plants that sprout from the walls. Gutierrez’s gardens are built from recycled materials and contain a fine-tuned hydroponic system (with integrated, automatic irrigation and fertilization) that can be utilized on any surface of any size. According to Gutierrez, they are a low-maintenance, sustainable solution for the indoors, even small areas.

“The use of gardens indoors is recognized scientifically to reduce stress, enhance creativity and clarity of thought, and improve well-being and overall health,” says Gutierrez. “Vertical gardens promote interesting, inspiring, and calming views. Through biophilic design, you can improve the relationship between humans, nature, and the built environment.”

If navigating the wild world of healthy houseplants is daunting, this guide to which ones to start with, how to nurture them, and more will help plant the seeds. It’s a jungle out there. Let’s explore.

PHILODENDRON BRASIL

This heartleaf philodendron variety is a fast grower that is easy to care for. “You really can’t kill it,” Amaro assures. It drapes beautifully and offers color variation thanks to lightgreen variegation on most leaves.

EXPERT TIPS FOR SELECTING THE RIGHT PLANTS TO BEGIN YOUR HOME COLLECTION, AS WELL AS HOW TO CARE FOR THEM. (INSTAGRAM.COM/ GARDENGIRLWPB)

ANTHURIUM

Most plant people have a story of heartbreak that involves an anthurium (or two). Amaro is first to defend them against their finnicky reputation. “Anthuriums are probably my favorite plant,” she says. “They look unreal.” Amaro notes that anthuriums appreciate cooler temperatures and thicker soil that stays moist.

DIEFFENBACHIA

According to Amaro, dieffenbachias, or dumb canes, are a “big bang for your buck,” as they grow large and boast colorful foliage. There are more than a dozen commonly available varieties to choose from for the home.

RHIPSALIS

Also called mistletoe cactus, rhipsalis are similar to cacti but they can tolerate low light.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

Peek into any plant parent’s collection and you’re sure to find ZZ plants, snake plants, and spider plants, all renowned for being hardy and supremely easy to care for.

Watering

If the plants are being housed indoors, Amaro advocates for watering once per week. Water lightly but consistently. Remember: underwatering is better than overwatering.

LighTIng

Most houseplants thrive in bright but not direct light. When advising new plant parents, Amaro shies away from using the term “indirect light” because it can mean different things to different people. For example, some may think indirect means low light, which is not ideal for any plant. If natural light is an issue, Amaro says that grow lights are a great option. “Just click the light on, let it hit your plants, and shut it off at night.”

FerTILizer and Pest Treatments

“I fertilize every month,” says Amaro, who opts for Miracle-Gro or fish fertilizer. While she tends to go heavier on the mix, Amaro recommends that beginners follow the instructions on the bottle to avoid going overboard. Two weeks after fertilizing, she’ll do a pest treatment, watering her plants with a dose of horticultural oil (which doubles as a topical leaf shine).

Soil

Amaro’s secret to a balanced soil mix? Cocoa husk. It absorbs moisture and allows for airflow, which prevents root rot (a consequence of overwatering). Try mixing cocoa husk with regular potting soil. Additional options include nutrient-rich additives like worm castings or anti-bacterial ones like horticultural charcoal.

IF CRAMPED QUARTERS OR LESS-THAN-IDEAL GROWING CONDITIONS HAVE HELD YOU BACK FROM STARTING THE HOUSEPLANT COLLECTION OF YOUR DREAMS, KEEP YOUR HEAD UP—WAY UP. TALITA GUTIERREZ OF VERDE VERTICAL CLUES US INTO BIOPHILIC DESIGN AND SHARES INSIGHT INTO HOW TO START A VERTICAL GARDEN OF YOUR OWN. (VERDEVERTICAL.COM)

PBI: Describe your craft as it relates to residential design.

Gutierrez: I develop solutions that can be applied on any wall, indoors or outdoors, to create living walls, green walls, or vertical gardens. The gardens can be made with living plants [using] automatic irrigation or with preserved natural plants, which eliminates the need for maintenance. They bring the green indoors, with lots of diversity, creating beautiful views and points of interest without compromising a lot of space in the house, almost like artwork.

What is your process for designing vertical gardens in homes?

I start with a walk-through to analyze the space’s conditions, including microclimate, access, available infrastructure (water and electricity sources, as well as drainage), views, architecture, and style. I consult with architects, designers, and clients to understand their needs, inspirations, expectations, and personal taste. Some clients are very involved with the design process, requesting specific plants, flowers, and colors, while others let me create freely. Every design is unique, and I think of each garden as an artwork where my media is nature— alive, in constant transformation, and sensitive to the elements.

What spaces are ideal for vertical gardens?

Vertical gardens are adaptable and

customizable, but the ideal situation for a living wall would be a space with great natural light, partial morning sun, and protection from strong direct winds and salty ocean spray. However, we can always add grow lights to areas that don’t get natural sun or enough natural light and use plants that are wind- and salt-tolerant in those scenarios. I would not recommend a garden in a dark place where grow lights cannot be installed, nor in places where irrigation cannot be properly done because living walls need consistent daily watering.

What are your favorite plants to work with in a Florida home’s microclimate?

I love the versatility, diversity, and exuberance of philodendrons and ferns. They are the ideal plants to grow hydroponically because they release their roots and can climb on any rough surface. Pothos, peperomias, begonias, pileas, asparagus ferns, and orchids are also excellent.

Do you have any tips for people who would like to create their own vertical garden?

Start with plants that are already developing well in the space and conditions, preferably climbing plants or orchids that don’t have flowers anymore. Create a simple frame with substrate where you can attach the plants and give them consistent irrigation or mist daily.

Talita Gutierrez creates living green walls for residential spaces, bringing the benefits of biophilic design to private homes.

THE WORD

SMALL BUT MIGHTY, HERBS PACK A DELICIOUS AND NUTRITIOUS PUNCH. HERE ARE FIVE UNIQUE OPTIONS FOR A COUNTERTOP HERB GARDEN.

1

Bay laurel

How to Grow: Leaves from this Mediterranean broadleaf evergreen tree are usually dried and packaged as bay leaves. Grow your own by planting bay laurel in a container with well-draining potting mix for edible plants and place in a spot that receives at least five to six hours of bright light through a window.

Best In: Everything. From chicken soup to tomato sauce, stews, and roasted meats, bay leaves lend depth to whatever you toss them into.

Main Benefits: Bay leaves contain immune-boosting vitamins C and E, as well as carotenoids that can help lower cholesterol.

3

How to Grow: Plant dill seedlings in a deep pot with well-draining, slightly acidic soil for edible plants. Place in a window that receives five to six hours of sunlight per day, or under a grow light for 12 to 14 hours.

Best In: Homemade pickles, salmon dishes, and yogurtbased sauces, like tzatziki

Main Benefits: Dill is a good source of vitamins C and A, as well as manganese.

How to Grow: Take mint cuttings and plant them in a deep pot with soil for edible plants that allows for water retention, but with enough air space to prevent sogginess. Place in a window that receives five to six hours of sunlight per day, or under a grow light for 12 to 14 hours. Mint grows best in milder temperatures, so keep indoor temps between 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit.

Best In: Tea, watermelon salad, chutneys, ice cream, and, of course, mojitos

Main Benefits: Mint can help relieve indigestion. Derivative menthol can also alleviate cold symptoms, like congestion.

2

How to Grow: This parsley relative is essential in French fines herbes and can be grown from seeds in a large, deep container filled with well-draining soil for edible plants, watering regularly. Chervil enjoys cooler temperatures and shadier conditions, so consider keeping it away from harsh sun and maintain indoor temps of between 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Some people even recommend growing it in a wine fridge.

Best In: Béarnaise sauce, vinaigrettes, salads, and poultry, egg, and fish dishes

Main Benefits: Chervil contains calcium and potassium, and is also rich in dietary fiber.

5

How to Grow: Lemongrass crops are easy to start from propagations. Place leftover stalks in a glass with 3 inches of water and move to a window that receives five to six hours of sunlight per day. Replenish water if levels drop. Once roots sprout, plant the stalks in welldraining potting mix for edible plants, ensuring that the crown is covered by soil.

Best In: Tea, stir-fries, and marinades

Main Benefits: Lemongrass contains quercetin, a flavonoid with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that can slow cancer cell growth, lower cholesterol, and reduce one’s risk of heart disease.

Does happiness seem like a feeling you chase after but never quite reach? The good news is this: happiness is always available to us— though it’s often buried beneath layers of thoughts and emotions. Want to learn how to reconnect with a happy state of mind? Local experts offer 20 simple ways to tap into happiness.

By Paige Bowers

FIND YOUR FOCUS

To truly achieve happiness, Kathy Andersen, a Miami-area life coach who holds a certification in positive psychology, says we must define what happiness looks and feels like for us. She recommends making a list of 50 things that you think will make you happy—from keeping your house tidier to spending more time with friends and family to volunteering with a local organization. To stave off feeling overwhelmed, focus on achieving a few items from your list at a time. Andersen also suggests keeping a second list of things that rob you of happiness, so that you can reinforce what to avoid.

GO FOR GRATITUDE

“You can’t be grateful and anxious at the same time,” says Megan Greer, executive director of the Blue Zones Project of Southwest Florida. Dedicate a few minutes each day to making simple journal entries of the things you’re thankful for. If writing isn’t your jam, try using a mala—a string of 108 beads from the Buddhist and Hindu traditions—to name one thing you’re thankful for as your fingers move across each bead. While 108 may seem like a big number, remember to notice and appreciate the small things (the breeze through the trees, the food that nourishes you, the ground beneath your feet) and you’ll find your list expands in proportion to your gratitude.

ENGAGE YOUR SENSES

“I encourage my patients to pay more attention to their five senses,” says Dr. Nicole Jaffe, a Naplesbased therapist with the Center for Psychology. “For example, if you’re walking your dog, home in on one of these senses, like smell or touch, and ask yourself how that focus changes your perception of your environment.” To put this into practice, try using the 5-4-3-2-1 Rule: take a moment to acknowledge five things you see (a pen, a spot on the ceiling, your car keys), four things you can touch (your hair, a pillow, the shoes on your feet), three things you hear (birds chirping, a horn honking, the sound of your breath), two things you can smell (soap, freshly cut grass, a favorite essential oil), and one thing you can taste (gum, coffee, toothpaste). You’ll feel more grounded and prepared to allow happiness to flow.

LEARN SOMETHING NEW

“When you stay curious, you remember just how magical and interesting the world is, and that leads to happiness,” says Robin Rubin, a positive psychology professor and director of the Robin Rubin Center for Happiness and Life Enhancement at Florida Atlantic University. Learn, but don’t forget to fail. According to the 85 Percent Rule (validated by research at the University of Arizona), the sweet spot for motivation, learning, and ensuing happiness is an 85 percent success and 15 percent failure rate. Why? Because if you never fail, you won’t be challenged to continue, and if you fail too frequently, you won’t be motivated to keep learning; fail 15 percent of the time and you will keep coming back for more.

OWN YOUR OM

Thanks to new research into neuroplasticity, we now know that one’s happiness set point (the level of happiness that we naturally feel) can be altered. Meditation thickens the areas of the brain that help us to process uncomfortable situations, as well as shrinks the amygdala, the part of the brain that’s activated under stress. Meditating for as little as two minutes a day leads to a calmer mind, improved cognition, and better self-awareness. Try an in-person meditation class at a local studio, or download guided meditation apps like Headspace and Calm. If you’re a person who likes tech feedback, check out the Hyperice Core, a meditation gadget that uses vibrations to center your attention. Core’s biosensors also give you real-time feedback by measuring your heart rate variability, which is your leading indicator of wellness.

releases mood-boosting hormones that can reduce stress and make you feel happier. If traditional cardio isn’t your thing, don’t despair. Researchers at the University of Derby found that depressed patients who took salsa lessons reported improved moods; a similar Australian study found that people who tangoed for 20 minutes felt happier and had lower levels of stress hormones than people who sat on the sidelines.

you have to plaster a fake smile on your face. But the next time you’re feeling low, try cracking a smile and see what happens. Laughter produces similar results; Rubin suggests watching a funny YouTube video, listening to a humor podcast, or streaming a comedy special the next time you need a mood lift.

HUG IT OUT

A research study published in Journal of Nonverbal Behavfound that people who were consistently hugged over a twoweek period reported being in a better overall mood. Not only does hugging reduce stress levels and unleash feel-good hormones like oxytocin, but it also makes people feel less lonely, which increases their sense of well-being. Based on research into what’s known as deep touch pressure therapy, a product like HugSleep’s Sleep Pod offers cocooning, hug-like comfort that stimulates the brain in the same way a traditional hug does.

LET IT GO

According to the Mayo Clinic, holding onto grudges increases anger and bitterness, making it difficult to enjoy the present moment. Letting go of a grudge is not the same experience as forgiveness—in which you replace a negative judgment of a person or situation with a positive feeling. Instead, moving on from a grudge might conjure indifference instead of positivity; you don’t need to feel warm and fuzzy toward a person who wronged you to avoid letting negative feelings control your life. Take time to consider the perspective of the person who wronged you, and you’ll have a better understanding of what might have contributed to the situation at hand.

BE KIND TO OTHERS

Research shows that acts of kindness can have a significant impact on mental health, reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety and increasing feelings of well-being. Consider small acts of kindness that can be done on a regular basis. This might include volunteering in the community, offering a listening ear to a friend in need, or simply taking a few moments to tell the people in your life how much they mean to you.

FIND YOUR PEOPLE

“Deep and fostered relationships instill in us a sense of self-worth,” Greer says. “They show us ‘I am liked because there are people in my life who truly know who I am, people I love who value me and vice versa.’” Maybe it’s a book club, a knitting circle, or a tennis group, but being part of something helps you feel less alone and surrounded by people who share your interests. Companionship doesn’t have to be limited to other humans. Pets can offer similar benefits, according to multiple studies.

CREATE A JUDGMENTFREE ZONE

In the Buddhist tradition, our attachments are the cause of suffering because all things can change—or disappear—in an instant. One way to practice nonattachment is to get rid of the idea that certain people, thoughts, etc. “should” or “must” be a certain way. When you look at your life without that judgment, it is easier to go with the flow. Work to release yourself from the happiness that comes from external things like clothing, cars, or food. You don’t have to sell everything you own and become a monk or a nun to practice non-attachment; you just need to embrace the importance of letting go.

GET OUTSIDE

TAKE A BREAK FROM TECH

When we put down our phones or step away from our computers, we can recoup from the constant ping of emails or negative news.

“The greatest challenge to our happiness is switching off the things that send us to a dark place—things like the news, for example—and instead choosing to put ourselves in places that make us feel happy and healthy,” says Andersen. By spending time with loved ones over dinner or a board game, for example, or riding our bike along the water with a friend, we can forge real connections that lead to happiness. If you struggle with self-control when it comes to scrolling, use a lockbox like this one from Mindsight that allows users to lock their phones away for as little as a minute or as long as 30 days.

The Japanese practice of shinrin yoku, or forest bathing, is the simple act of getting into nature, observing it, and breathing deeply. According to Kaiser Permanente, studies have shown that spending 10 to 20 minutes a day outside doing something like gardening, listening to the sound of waves at the beach, or walking in a park can lower blood pressure, heart rate, and levels of stress hormones.

REPLACE TRIGGERS WITH GLIMMERS

Be aware of your triggers (things that make you feel sad or anxious) like certain social media feeds, that friend who always seems to go on better trips, or a relative who puts you down and avoid them. Replace those with glimmers (things that spark joy) like walking with a friend who makes you laugh, feeling the sun on your shoulders, or curling up with a new book.

SAVOR THE MOMENT

“What we think about, we bring about,” Rubin says. A tactic known as “savoring”—attending, appreciating, and enhancing positive life experiences—can help flip the script from negative to positive. In moments of stress, try to find one thing that’s good about the circumstances you’re in. It could be something small (for example, maybe a favorite song has just come on the radio). Research shows that savoring a positive experience by actively reflecting on thoughts and emotions is effective at enhancing well-being and happiness.

KEEP IT UP

PUT YOUR PURPOSE INTO PRACTICE

A National Institutes of Health–funded study showed that those who expressed having clear goals or a purpose lived up to seven years longer than those who did not. To find your sense of purpose, make a list of your mental, emotional, and physical talents. Then reflect on what you like to do and where you can use those skills. Maybe it’s tutoring students in math or volunteering at the Humane Society. Find places where you can contribute and make a difference.

DON’T DELAY

Fight the urge to wait to seek happiness (think: “I’ll be happier when I lose 10 pounds”). Happiness comes from appreciating what you have in the present moment, Rubin says. Making your happiness conditional on something you don’t have and may not get is counterproductive.

BE REALISTIC

Recognize that you won’t always be happy in every moment—and that’s normal. “Happiness is not a constant thing,” Rubin says. Whether you’ve received bad news, are running late, or somebody hurt your feelings, take a moment to acknowledge that the frustration, fear, or anger you feel is not permanent. Allow yourself to experience it and then shift your focus toward what made you feel this way and what it might take to recover. Then let the moment pass and take care of yourself. But remember: if you are struggling to reframe your thoughts, Andersen says it’s important to find someone to talk to.

Like anything else, happiness is a habit, and research tells us that it takes time and dedication to build any habit you want to see through long-term. Consider the 21/90 Rule, which is based on studies that show that it takes 21 days to make a habit and 90 days to turn that habit into a permanent lifestyle change. Commit to making happiness your goal for 21 days, or start small and adopt any one of these suggested practices. Push past that initial 21-day period to 90 days, and active happiness will become a part of your lifestyle. «

BE THE LIGHT

Shaped by her own life experiences, Dr. Shanteria Dixon seeks to help patients in times of need

Shanteria Dixon’s color-coordinated calendar and daily to-do list keep this emergency room doctor on track. Her schedule is a master class in juggling: Dixon is the new medical director of Jackson North and the outgoing assistant medical director of St. Mary’s Medical Center. She also works for Sollis Health, a concierge medical service on Palm Beach.

A seven-page curriculum vitae lists Dixon’s research experience, publications, presentations, lectures, and awards. She is also active in philanthropic efforts, to include serving on the advisory board for the Florence De George Boys & Girls Club of West Palm Beach and on the Moments Luncheon committee for the Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition of Palm Beach County.

So, what keeps Dixon grounded? Her faith.

“I’m not sure I could cope with this job if I didn’t have my faith to fall on because I am somewhat of a pathological empath,” she says. “I pray before and after every shift for God to use me as a vessel to care for each patient in the way he would. I also make sure I am constantly studying and am up-to-date on the latest treatments and advancements.”

Her pursuit of excellence and call to serve comes from her mother, who raised eight children (the youngest three as a single mom). As a girl growing up in West Palm Beach, Dixon experienced insecure housing and spent some time living at The Lord’s Place, a local organization that seeks to break the cycle of homelessness.

“My mother didn’t have the option for higher education, but she was extremely hardworking and managed to raise us in a loving home centered around God and faith,” Dixon shares. “We always went to church on Sundays, and my mom was always volunteering. She taught us to use our negative experiences for something better.”

At age 13, Dixon was hit by a drunk driver and rushed to St. Mary’s, where Dr. Richard Weiner, a still-practicing orthopedic surgeon, operated on her. While in physical rehab, she became interested in medicine after seeing how the doctors and nurses worked together as a team.

“I told a rehab nurse I wanted to be a nurse too, but she told me I was young enough to become a doctor,” Dixon recalls. “I had never seen a Black doctor, and I didn’t think that was something achievable until that moment. I handwrote a letter to Dr. Weiner thanking him for being a kind surgeon and told him I was interested in medicine. He was the chief of orthopedic surgery then, and he called me back. That was the beginning.”

Weiner eventually offered her an office job, and Dixon spent her weekend evenings at the hospital shadowing him and Dr. Robert Borrego, the director of trauma. She attended the University of Florida for undergrad and was awarded a full-ride scholarship to medical school.

“Emergency medicine fits my personality because the doctors have to be relaxed and down-to-earth,” she says of her current vocation. “I want to take advantage of the second chance God gave me to be worth something. I’m very blessed. I don’t know what I did to deserve everything I am, but I’m just trying to make the best use of it that I can.” —Stephanie Gates

MOTIVATED TO DO GOOD

Dr. Antonella Leary pays it forward through her work as a gynecologic oncologist

Antonella Leary always wanted to work in medicine. Goal accomplished.

Not only has she been a gynecologic oncologist for 17 years, she has served as the principal investigator with the national Gynecologic Oncology Group, was at the forefront of studying and trials for the HPV vaccine, was the head of minimally invasive surgery and robotics at the University of Massachusetts (where she also taught), has written for many peer-reviewed journals, and has presented her research to prestigious organizations such as the New England Association of Gynecologic Oncologists and the International Society of Gynecologic Cancer. Currently, she works at Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute in Wellington and Palm Beach Gardens, as well as at several neighboring hospitals.

“When I was 11, my mother was diagnosed with MS, and it changed our family dynamic,” Leary says. “Then, when I was 14, I watched my cousin’s ‘white coat’ ceremony, and it was very moving to me. I knew then that I wanted to go into medicine.”

While still in high school, she applied to the Siena Albany Medical Program, which offered both the four years of college and the four subsequent years of medical school. During this time, she completed “summers of service,” wherein she worked on both Navajo and Apache reservations in New Mexico. She also went to Mexico, where she performed minor procedures in the homes of people who could not travel to the local medical office.

“Other friends served abroad, but I thought it was important to stay in this country because we have so many different cultures and socioeconomic issues here at home,” Leary says of her student experience in the states. “I learned so much more than I could ever give back.”

Originally from Farmingdale, New York, Leary and her husband moved to Florida in February 2013 and currently live in Jupiter.

“I treat all female cancers, anything from the waist down,” she says. “My passion is minimally invasive surgery. Robotics came out around 2006, and it really revolutionized the care for these women.”

Roughly 80 percent of gynecologic oncologists use robotics in their cases, most commonly in treating uterine cancer. The patients have shorter hospital stays, smaller incisions, and require less pain medication. From Leary’s perspective, robotics and minimally invasive surgery have become the kinder, gentler course of cancer treatment.

“The instruments are no longer rigid,” she explains. “Instead, they have similar motion, flexion, and extension as a human wrist, but they operate inside the abdomen and can rotate all the way around. I tell my residents, ‘You are either a doer or a thinker.’ We need both, but I’m a doer. I love surgery.”

As a wife and mother of four, Leary understands the strains on modern professional women. “What’s at the forefront now is female burnout,” she notes. “Females are expected to run the household and still have very high-powered, demanding jobs. If you find someone who does both well, you have an extraordinary person. I try my best.” —Stephanie

He takes pride in his compassionate and comprehensive care, making himself always available to his patients in both the office and hospital. Over the years, he has maintained a close relationship with Jupiter Hospital, having been instrumental in the development of its cancer center in the early 1980s, becoming its first director of oncology. As a senior member of Jupiter Hospital’s staff, he works closely with the oncology floor nurses and a group of highly experienced physicians in several different specialties. If needed, he can refer patients for transplant and investigational studies to Moffitt Cancer Center or other major cancer centers. Utilizing cutting-edge targeted therapy and immunotherapy,

Dr. Michael Connor, double board certified in ophthalmology and oculofacial plastic surgery, has been improving patients’ lives for more than a decade. After completing a highly competitive fellowship in oculofacial plastic surgery, he is one of approximately 600 surgeons in the country who specialize in a field dedicated specifically to the aesthetics of the eyes, and we are fortunate to have his expertise in Palm Beach County.

His knowledge of the underlying anatomy enhances his ability to preserve the function of the eyelids and achieve a naturally beautiful result. “Finesse and anatomic precision are needed to perform surgery around the eyes safely and effectively,” he says.

Dr. Connor’s area of expertise includes cosmetic blepharoplasty, brow surgery, ptosis or droopy eyelid surgery, and revisional eyelid surgery.

While many of his surgical procedures are performed in an outpatient surgery center, he has also perfected the art of in-office eyelid surgery utilizing local anesthesia. Patients can undergo eyelid rejuvenation, performed comfortably in his surgical suite, in less than an hour.

His practice also includes non-surgical anti-aging options, including neurotoxins, facial fillers, chemical peels, and laser treatments in the skilled hands of both Melanie Craft, APRN, and Taylor D. Caparo, PA-C. Dr. Connor lives in Jupiter with his wife, Dr. Jeanmarie Burigo Connor and their four children.

BOLD FLAVORS, COOL COCKTAILS, AND LOCAL FAVORITES

MEET YOUR NEW NEIGHBORS X

Now that Mohamed “Mo” Alkassar and chef Niven Patel of Alpareno Restaurant Group have made their mark in Miami— having opened such lauded restaurants as Erba and Ghee Indian Kitchen—they’ve set their sights on Palm Beach County. In February, they debuted NiMo in Tequesta, moving into the airy and inviting space briefly occupied by Josco Garden. Diners can expect coastal Mediterranean fare, tinged with the same light touch, seasonal ingredients, and cool flare that permeate Patel’s other ventures.

“We have a lot of layers of flavors and familiar dishes but with our twist,” says Patel. “How I love to cook is very light and simple. It isn’t heavy with cream, butter, and heavy spices, but there are lots of layers of flavors.”

A portmanteau of both owners’ names, NiMo is a true

marriage of Alkassar’s heritage and Patel’s cuisine. “You’ll see a lot of inspiration all the way from Syria to Spain,” says Alkassar, citing standouts such as green chickpea hummus and NiMo’s best-selling lamb chops. “I was born in Madrid and raised in Syria. It’s a little bit of my story told through Niven’s food, and I think it’s also an evolution of our partnership—many years of sharing stories and talking about food and what I grew up eating.”

Above all, Patel and Alkassar want NiMo to be a neighborhood restaurant, where locals can have multiple meals a week and a different dining experience each time. As they note, that ambition starts with approachable price points, warm hospitality, daily happy hour offerings, and a simple yet bold menu that encourages discovery. (nimoeats.com)

FROM FRENCH TOAST TO COFFEE, WEST PALM BEACHER TAKI KASTANIS IS BUSY BUILDING A BREAKFAST EMPIRE

BY MARY MURRAY

As the child of restaurateurs, Taki Kastanis has early memories of growing up inside his parents’ diners. “I’d do homework in a booth,” he says. “At times, I’d jump in and help bus tables. It was a big part of our lives.”

Hailing from Greece, Kastanis’ parents always had around five restaurants at a time in the Chicago area. He notes that while there are a lot of Greek influences in New York, Chicago, and Detroit diners, his parents offered traditional American breakfast fare. When it came time to carve his own path in the restaurant industry, Kastanis wanted to blend his experience with the real estate know-how he garnered in college.

“Having the old-school training from my childhood and the newschool training from college, I wanted to put the two together and do things more efficiently … without losing the personal connection with guests,” he says.

In 2006, he opened his first Yolk restaurant in Chicago, serving creative brunch fare tinged with his personal history. “I wanted to bring some of my family’s original recipes and dishes,” notes Kastanis, citing examples such as eggs Benedict, pancakes, and waffles. “I wanted to bring those family recipes to the mix but also spice it up a little bit, put a little spin on it.”

Since then, Kastanis has opened Yolk locations in Illinois, Indiana, Texas, and Florida, in Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, and—most recently—Boynton Beach. He moved to West Palm Beach with his wife and four young children three years ago, and he is now an investor in Celis Juice Bar, which is slated to open a new location in Delray Beach this summer as well as in the forthcoming Nora neighborhood. In addition to continuing to expand Yolk, Kastanis is looking to grow his Espresso and Milk coffee shop concept in Chicago.

While he remains a consummate Chicagoan, Kastanis is enjoying the small-city feel of West Palm Beach and sampling the region’s burgeoning restaurant scene. “There are some great restaurants, a lot of mom-and-pop types where the owners live in the neighborhood,” he says. “We like the fancy restaurants on the island where you can go for a date night, [and] we like the mom and pops near us that we can walk to. You have to seek them out and ask friends for their favorites.” (eatyolk.com)

PIE in the Sky

In another life, Nikita Rao was an accountant with a passion for baking. After her family moved from England to the United States, she focused on raising her children and fine-tuning her recipes for such delights as key lime pie. When the pandemic hit in 2020, she decided to host a dessert pop-up of sorts, inviting her neighbors to stop by one Friday evening to purchase her cinnamon buns.

“Everyone was doing their social distancing, yet there was this line of customers outside my door at 5 o’clock just desperate to pick up these cinnamon buns,” Rao recalls. “They were just so happy that I was doing this.”

All are available to order on her website.

While Rao’s current vocation is worlds away from her work as an accountant, she does see a relationship between the two. “There is a correlation, and it is precision. It is striving for excellence,” she says. “I am a perfectionist. With baking, you have to measure, but I will measure even a teaspoon of vanilla extract. I won’t eyeball it. My goal is to create perfect desserts.” (nikitabakes.com) —M.M.

OVERDELIVER

BY MICHAEL DRAPKIN

With most items we buy, there is a relatively clear correlation between quality and price. When it comes to wine, however, things tend to be opaque. A wine’s price seldom reflects the precise value of what’s inside the bottle; instead, factors such as the cost of the vineyard land and the wine’s reputation and availability are often at play. With this in mind, those who wish to find the best quality-to-price ratio should look to unsung regions, indie producers, and overlooked grape varieties. Here are a few to seek out.

2022 Turley Cinsault Bechthold Vineyard, Lodi, California ($34). Cinsault is an underrated Mediterranean variety with only about 100 acres under vine in California (compared to the 100,000 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon planted in the state). The vines of this Cinsault come from an iconic property, are 150 years old, and yield a concentrated, silky glass of red.

1

2022 Peter Lauer Neuenberg Riesling, Mosel Valley, Germany ($56). Here is a dry Riesling made by a master and sourced from a cherry parcel. Riesling is objectively one of the most profound white wines thanks to its versatility: it can be enjoyed with gusto in youth and with many decades of age. A wine of equivalent quality from a Grand Cru Burgundy would be at least quadruple the price.

TEATIME MEETS COCKTAIL

HOUR WITH THIS CHEEKY DRINK

BY JULES ARON

The most widely consumed beverage in the world after water, tea and its history unfold like a centuries-old story steeping with intrigue and cultural nuance. Fittingly, the beloved brew that has sparked revolutions and fueled gossip across generations has its own holiday: National Tea Day, held April 21.

As legend has it, Emperor Shennong of China accidentally discovered the concept of tea when a leaf fell into his boiling water in 2737 B.C.E. By the ninth century, tea had spread to Japan and then to Central Asia and the Middle East through the Silk Road trade routes. In the sixteenth century, Dutch and Portuguese traders introduced tea to Europe, where it became popular among the elite. The British East India Company played a significant role in the global spread of tea, establishing plantations in India and Sri Lanka.

Today, tea has evolved into a symbol of hospitality. Much like tea, cocktails have long brought people together. In fact, punch (considered the first cocktail) was popularized by sailors and included

East India Company tea, sugar, citrus, and whatever spirits they had on board.

Tea’s rich flavor and texture bring a unique dimension to drinks of all kind. Since National Gin and Tonic Day also falls this month (April 9), the following celebratory tipple is an ode to both libations.

Matcha Do About Nothing Ingredients

1/2 oz. yuzu juice

1 oz. coconut cream

1 tsp. matcha powder

1 1/2 oz. Spring 44 Old Tom Gin

1/2 oz. vanilla simple syrup

Coconut flakes for rim

Prepare a glass by rimming it with coconut flakes. Add all other ingredients to a shaker filled with ice and shake vigorously. Strain mixture into the glass and enjoy.

FROM CITY TO OCEAN, THE FINE ART OF PALM BEACH LIVING

DESIGN

Freedom to LAYER

Inspired by her Southern heritage and love of a fully dressed room, Shani Risinger Core of Shani Core Interiors crafted this living room in her Palm Beach Gardens home by layering different styles, patterns, and periods. Her goal was to impart a sense of timelessness to what was a new construction, as well as capture her and her husband’s personalities,

which she describes as a combination of casual and formal, traditional and modern. “From the vintage rocking chairs I redesigned and reupholstered in front of the fireplace to the white daybed in front of the windows and the hundreds of books lining the bookshelves, this is a room where you want to curl up, slow down, and stay for a while,” says Core. “At the same time, it’s also ready for an elegant cocktail gathering and easy conversation. The best rooms are the ones that truly reflect all the different ways we want to gather, relax, entertain, and, yes, take a leisurely afternoon nap.”

HOW TO DESIGN A SPA-INSPIRED BATHROOM SANCTUARY

BY LIZA GRANT SMITH

A SHOWSTOPPING SHOWER

Gone are the days when showers served merely as a functional necessity for cleansing our bodies. Now, given the right considerations and components, they can become lingering destinations for disengagement from the outside world. A big shower offers big appeal—both visually and experientially. Maximize the size based on what your square footage allows and increase its pampering potential by placing multiple showerheads both above and on the walls. Another trend is a couple’s shower, where each person has their own shower area. These can be side by side in one large shower space or two separate showers in the same bathroom.

AN HAUTE HYBRID

For a more modern and expansive feel, consider a wet room. This open-concept design pairs a freestanding tub and shower in the same space. In addition to accessibility, a wet room instantly imparts the high-end look of a posh resort spa.

AU NATUREL

Incorporating natural elements will enhance the organic feel and rejuvenating properties of the space. Materials such as stone, wood, and bamboo evoke the outdoors, as do biophilic touches like living plants or small trees.

LESS CLUTTER LEADS TO MORE IMPACT

Part of a spa’s calming power comes from its visual minimalism, so bring that same approach to your home bathroom. Eliminate clutter from vanities and opt for open shelving, where you can display basic goods in pleasing containers like apothecary jars. Invest in high-quality towels and fold or roll them for a spalike showcase on shelves or at the base of the vanity. Everything else should be out of sight and tucked away in drawers.

A BREATHTAKING BATH

Choose a bathtub that deserves the limelight and let it take a leading role in your bathroom production. Up the zen quotient of your bath time with a freestanding soaking tub, which tend to have a great enough water depth to allow for total submersion. Be sure that the tub’s material—anything from marble to copper to wood— speaks to the desired vibe that you’re trying to achieve.

HOST A WHITE PARTY

An all-white color scheme is a good way to maximize the calming effect of your bathroom and ensure it is distraction-free. Add some dimension with metallics or other subtle muted elements.

Historic HOT SPOTS

THESE TWO LEGENDARY RESTAURANTS WERE ONCE HUBS OF PALM BEACH SOCIAL LIFE

BY MARIE PENNY

Palm Beach is known for its restaurants and clubs that offer unparalleled glamour and ambience. While the spirit of fine dining and alfresco socializing remains, transport yourself to a time when drinks were served from a merry-go-round bar and everyone flocked to a beloved restaurant on Worth Avenue.

1. THE COLONY CLUB (1928-1942)

In 1936, John Volk redesigned The Colony Club (in the Fashion Beaux Arts building on Bradley Place at Seminole Avenue) for owner Stanley Warrick. There was indoor dining but also, more importantly, an outdoor patio that featured a merry-go-round bar, a bandstand, and plenty of space for dining and dancing. In addition to striped awnings and director’s chairs, the club boasted early air-conditioning for those rare winter nights that required it. Palm Beach Life declared that The Colony Club “promises to be the gathering place of smart Palm Beach society each afternoon during the 5 o’clock cocktail interval.” Originally designed by architect August Geiger, the Fashion Beaux Arts building was sold in 1942 and later demolished.

2. PETITE MARMITE (1949-1983)

French for “small pot,” Petite Marmite was located in the Worth Avenue Arcade. It was run by the husband-and-wife duo of Gus and Cheri Pucillo and included murals that brought Gus’ native Capri to Palm Beach. The FrenchItalian cuisine and charming design made it a year-round destination for locals and tourists alike. French doors led to a courtyard, where more dining took place. In 1967, Bert Morgan photographed the interior, with its mid-century modern chairs and Elsie de Wolfe–inspired painted trellises (evocative of de Wolfe’s Colony Club in New York City). The restaurant was sold in 1983, but it lives on in the collective memory of Palm Beachers.

Marie Penny writes “Heritage” on behalf of the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach.

With a shamanic healing history that dates back to Mayan and Aztec cultures, cacao continues to play a powerful role in modern-day ceremonies. Thanks, in part, to the high levels of the stimulant theobromine, high-grade ceremonial cacao is believed to help open the heart, relax the body, and shift consciousness. Marit Tuisk, co-founder of Palm Beach County–based Casa Rituals, provides a safe environment for interested parties, leading them on an introspective journey through intention-setting exercises and guided visualizations and movements. “People often come with a scattered mind and feeling disconnected from or overwhelmed with day-to-day life,” says Tuisk. “After going through the two-hour session, they are able to free their mind, be more observer than absorber, and see a slightly different perspective to their problem.

IN THE ZONE

BLUE ZONES’ SIDNEY STOLZ WILL SHARE LONGEVITY SECRETS AND PRACTICES AT THE MEALS ON WHEELS OF THE PALM BEACHES LUNCHEON

BY PAIGE BOWERS

The four-part Netflix docuseries Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones illustrates that longevity isn’t just about the plant-forward food you eat, but rather an embrace of a nine-pronged set of principles—among them, natural movement, a sense of purpose, and connecting with others. So, Blue Zones (the term used to describe regions with the healthiest, longest-living populations, as well as the company that promotes research-backed strategies to help people live longer, happier lives) is more than a meal, which is exactly how Meals on Wheels of the Palm Beaches views its role in bringing healthy meals and a dose of connection to homebound local residents. The organization turned to Sidney Stolz, the chief design and experience officer for Blue Zones LLC, to deliver the keynote at its annual More than a Meal luncheon, which will be held at the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach April 4. Here, he offers insight into Blue Zones and more. (mealsonwheelspalmbeaches.org)

PBI: What is the main goal of Blue Zones?

Stolz: Everything we do here is based on empowering everyone, everywhere to live better longer. The principle that gets a lot of conversation is moving naturally. So, we create environments where you and I would have to walk together

to see each other, and we would maybe garden together or play pickleball.

Is that mission similar to Meals on Wheels of the Palm Beaches in any way?

We know that if you’re not moving and getting the right nutrition, the idea of holistic well-being and happiness is probably not going to happen. And so, the mission of Meals on Wheels is to provide nutritious meals to the most vulnerable in Palm Beach County, which goes perfectly with our mission.

Is there any Blue Zones research that has become even more relevant recently?

The science has shown that people who are involved in some faith-like community activity four times a month live three years longer than those who are not. Isolation and loneliness had always been there, but they really came to the forefront during the pandemic. We’ve always worked on connecting people in moais, or groups that are

committed to each other for life. Everything we do encourages you to never do anything by yourself because the data shows that if you do, it’s too easy to stop.

What will people learn from your keynote?

I will take them on a journey to each of the original Blue Zones. We are lucky enough that we get to partner with National Geographic, so [through] the pictures and the way that I’ll be able to enhance the experience by actually going and visiting these locations, you’ll get to see and meet some of these centenarians. I’m hoping that everybody picks up a bit of inspiration that they can use for their own well-being journey.

The team at Boca Raton’s FTX Wellness believes that what you do after a workout is just as important as the workout itself. That’s why they created a private Recovery Lounge that provides members with holistic post-exercise offerings like an infrared sauna, cold plunges, Theragun personal massagers, and Normatec compression boots, which aim to boost circulation, rejuvenate muscles, and alleviate swelling. “The Recovery Lounge stands as the ultimate conclusion to our workout regimen,” says Paige Griscom, a trainer with FTX as well as the company’s marketing director. “This dedicated space plays a pivotal role in aiding optimal muscle recovery, catering to the diverse needs of every workout.” Griscom adds that FTX now offers memberships solely for Recovery Lounge access.

SHROOM TO GROW

Belle Glade natives Deonte Thompson and Fred Taylor made names for themselves in the world of professional football. Now, they are scoring points on a whole new field as two of the founding partners of The Mushroom Coffee Company. A combination of adaptogenic mushrooms (including lion’s mane, chaga, and cordyceps) and fair-trade Colombian coffee, the brew supports cognitive health, energy, and focus. Thompson and Taylor are both believers.

“It’s my alternative go-to because I can drink as much as I want without the jitters or crashing, while still getting my caffeine boost,” says Thompson.

“Mushroom coffee gives me an extended moment of clarity,” adds Taylor. “Every time I have a cup, I feel more energetic and focused.”

Thompson drinks his the same way as regular coffee (with two creamers and brown sugar), while Taylor likes his iced or hot with almond milk or French vanilla creamer. For added energy and more endurance during workout sessions, he sometimes puts half a scoop in his pre-workout protein shake. (drinkmushroomcoffee.com) —L.G.S.

WHAT IS THERANOSTICS?

Theranostics, a new precision-based paradigm in medicine, is the combination of imaging and molecular radioactive therapy, using similar molecules to image the cancer with a small tracer dose and treat the same with a larger, more potent dose of radioactivity.

When pimple patches, face washes, photodynamic therapy, or antibiotics aren’t the answers to acne, where do you turn?

Enter AviClear, a laser treatment approved by the FDA in 2022 that’s being touted as an alternative to Accutane (an oral medication that curbs acne but comes with potentially worrisome side effects).

“AviClear is a solution to acne for people of all ages and skin types, but without the concerns that can come with taking antibiotics,” says Sharon Halle, owner of Begin Anew Med Spa in Jupiter. “It treats all kinds of blemishes. From cystic acne to hormonal acne, to whiteheads, blackheads, and even blind pimples—anywhere on the face or body.”

wavelength laser downregulates these glands, making them less able to produce the sebum that causes breakouts. According to studies, 87 percent of AviClear patients saw at least half their acne resolve six months after treatment. At their two-year follow-ups, patients reported an average clearance of 97 percent of inflamed pimples.

Halle notes that AviClear’s ease of protocol has many teenagers flocking to her doors for the treatment. “It’s just three 45-minute in-office appointments,” she explains. “That’s helpful not only for teens, but also for busy adults who have difficulty sticking with at-home regimens of creams, pills, or washes.” (beginanewmed.com) —Kristen Desmond LeFevre

GOOD NATURE

5 LESSONS

I’VE LEARNED FROM MY GARDEN

HAPPY TEACHINGS FROM THE BOTANICAL WORLD

BY TAMMY FENDER

EVEN THE MOST COMMON PLANTS CAN BE POWERFUL.

I’ve learned never to underestimate the plants that we know best. Take mint, for example, which has been served as a digestive tea for centuries and is revered for its ability to clarify the mind and dissolve tension. Dandelion supports detoxification, and plantain weed, which grows in every crack in the sidewalk, has traditionally been used medicinally as an anti-inflammatory and to treat wounds. Recognizing the potency of these powerhouses is a beautiful way to reconnect with the natural world.

HAVE FAITH IN NATURE.

If there is one thing a garden teaches like no other, it’s trust and patience. We can’t unbury a seed to check its growth; we just have to believe that once the conditions are right, it will grow. What a metaphor for life. Observing the smallest changes in the garden with wonder and reverence is something that has brought our whole family together over the years— from watching our seedlings grow strong to marveling at the mangoes fattening until they weigh down their branches.

BEAUTY CAN HEAL.

When I was just learning about herbalism—while living on an outer island in the Bahamas, where

there was no easy access to medical care—I witnessed the kind of healing plants can provide. When one of the local people suffered a cut, I knew to stanch the bleeding with geranium leaf. I was stunned by the efficacy. As I grew my practice and began working with herbal remedies in more subtle ways, I saw how plants could do even more over time. The healing potential in a single rose is breathtaking, working not only on the physical level and as an emotional support, but also on the spiritual plane. Plants don’t distinguish between these realms. Their generous

beauty may come to us through the senses, but it travels directly to the soul.

THERE IS A SEASON FOR EVERYTHING.

While everyone knows this adage, falling into step with the rhythm of the seasons and with the natural world brings such preciousness to every moment. Attuning to nature is a living meditation. Sometimes the garden is active, and sometimes it’s quiet and still. When we approach our days in the same way—with time for action and time for deep rest—the results can be magical.

WE LIVE IN RECIPROCITY.

When I spend time in my garden, really sinking into contemplation, I feel connected to the world at large. The effort and care that I’ve poured into my relationship with our little patch of land is reflected in the beauty and bounty of the plants that grow there. I like to imagine what life would be like if we all remembered how to hold nature with reverence and curiosity. Spring is a great opportunity to explore this connection, and I hope that you’ll feel moved by the green world in the freshness of the moment. «

The garden presents a bounty of opportunities for natural healing such as fresh mint tea (left) to clarify the mind and dissolve tension, and dandelion (below), which supports detoxification.

WEALTH

THE HEAT

BY JOE PYE

Luxury real estate in South Florida has boomed in recent years, and real estate agents expect this to continue. Regional trends—including a surge of new wealthy residents—and national factors like decreasing interest rates are all setting the scene for a hot seller’s market.

Thanks to thriving business and a low-tax environment, the Sunshine State has been experiencing a wealth migration. Between 2020 and 2021, more than 40,000 households earning $200,000 or more moved to Florida, according to data from the IRS. And by the end of 2023, home prices in Florida were up 5 percent year-over-year, reaching a median price of more than $400,000, according to Redfin. Data from Douglas Elliman and Miller Samuel found that the average home sales price in Palm Beach topped $20 million in the third quarter of 2023. And that was all reported before the Federal Reserve (the Fed) signaled that it was likely to cut rates in the coming months.

Brad O’Connor, chief economist of the trade association Florida Realtors, believes that the Fed’s news could motivate potential buyers to shop around for larger homes or second homes. “It’s going to change buyers’ psychology,” O’Connor says. “I think that people who’ve been on the fence for a bit are now going to slowly start coming off. Based on the way things are going, we’re going to see a better year than last.”

LOWER INTEREST RATES, HIGHER DEMAND

In October 2023, mortgage rates hit 8 percent for the first time in two decades. Then they dropped to 6.61 percent at the end of December, when the Fed announced it would stop raising interest rates. The Fed doesn’t directly affect mortgage interest rates, explains Jacob Channel, an economist at online loan marketplace LendingTree. “But it certainly influences them,” he says.

Because luxury homebuyers are more likely to

pay in cash, talk of interest rates can be immaterial. However, Kim Price, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices - Florida Realty, notes that this news from the Fed could heat competition in a low-inventory market.

“There’s no doubt it’ll bring out more buyers,” Price says. “Uber-wealthy people also want to use bank money. You’re going to see price increases. You’re not going to see any price declines on the island of Palm Beach, Jupiter

Island, Admirals Cove, or any of those markets.”

While luxury homes tend to stay on the market longer than mid-range and affordable homes, remember that what may look expensive to Floridians could be seen as a steal to potential buyers from wealthy enclaves across the country.

CONTINUED MIGRATION

In comparison to some West Coast and Northeast markets, Florida real estate can seem affordable—a factor that is fueling the influx of new residents. “We are a low-tax, pro-business state,” Price says. “We’re the No. 1 destination for migrating New Yorkers. And with that, they bring their income.”

Since 2020, major financial service compa-

nies, including Blackstone, Goldman Sachs, and Citadel, have opened offices in Palm Beach County, bringing their $3.5 trillion total combined assets with them. The region is quickly earning a reputation as the Wall Street of the South.

When it comes to the Magic City, Knight Frank global real estate consultancy recently ranked Miami’s luxury price appreciation No. 2 in the world. Data provided by Miami Realtors shows 148,688 people moved to Florida from foreign countries last year. An additional 527,797 people moved from out of state, mostly from New York, California, Nevada, Illinois, and Texas.

O’Connor feels that we’ll continue to see a heightened level of immigration from other states for the next several years. “We’re at the top of the rankings statewide in terms of population growth and job growth,” O’Connor says. “Florida’s a great investment and I don’t see it going out of style anytime soon.” «

This show hardly needs an introduction, but fortunately for uninitiated audiences, it’s spelled out plenty throughout. Having last toured through West Palm Beach in early 2020, Hamilton will return to the Kravis Center ’s Dreyfoos Hall April 10-21. The winner of 11 Tony Awards, this shot-heard-around-the-world musical takes audiences on the revolutionary journey of Alexander Hamilton, as told by Lin-Manuel Miranda, who was inspired to pen a story about the oft-overlooked Founding Father after reading Ron Chernow’s biography. Much like its titular subject, Hamilton is truly “Nonstop,” with Pulitzer Prize–winning wordsmithing, epic musicality that spans and bends genres, and a cast of characters you’ll recognize from history books.

Don’t throw away your shot to see Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton, returning to the Kravis Center’s Dreyfoos Hall stage April 10-21.

LAST WORD

What was a defining moment when you realized that you’d made it?

When Bloomingdale’s began selling my designs in the 1980s, marking my entry into major retail. The collection was flying out, and they gave me my own shop next to the best designers from all over the world. It was a moment when women were fully entering the business world and my clothing resonated strongly with them.

What influences you most as a designer?

I’ve always been visually curious. I draw inspiration from the energy and creativity of my home, New York City. It can be the beauty of Central Park, the architectural design—old and new—or the way that women live in the hustle and bustle of the city. I also love to travel, and being in new places ignites my imagination.

What was your inspiration for the Spring 2024 collection?

During the pandemic, comfort and isolation became paramount as we adapted to remote work and restricted social interactions. However, for my Spring 2024 collection, I wanted to capture the essence of newfound freedom and optimism. This collection is an ode to the reawakening of life, a celebration of feminine expression and individuality. I wanted to embrace color in all its vibrancy and introduce fresh fabrics and hues. I want each piece to connect with a woman’s inner self.

What’s one wardrobe item every woman should own?

An impeccably tailored, perfectly fitting blazer. This timeless piece not only served as the foundation of my business but also remains,

REAL TALK WITH... Elie Tahari

The Israeli fashion designer reflects upon his origins, influences, and future

BY KATHERINE LANDE

in my opinion, the cornerstone of a remarkable wardrobe. It effortlessly elevates any look, exuding confidence and sophistication. A well-cut blazer transitions between occasions, making it indispensable in a modern woman’s wardrobe.

What’s next for the brand?

As we approach our fiftieth anniversary, we’re going to celebrate with a collection that embodies

our DNA: creativity, quality, and collectibility. Expect pieces that look like one of a kind. I am playing with beading, shimmering textures, and patina. The colors are rich and passionate shades of burgundy, garnet, black, snow white, and gold metallic.

Our brand has evolved beyond just clothing; we now offer Italian accessories, including hats, belts, and handbags. My vision is to continue to expand into areas such as swimwear and luxury coats, always with the essence of timeless sophistication.

Elie Tahari’s Spring 2024 collection (below and right) showcases vibrant colors and fresh fabrics.
