SMILE BRIGHT With custom-made veneers that give beauty to your expression

By STEPHANIE KOHL

Marilynn Zieman doesn’t duck out of photos anymore.

Once upon a time, the office administrator at Webster Dental, 1121 Warren Ave., Suite 130, Downers Grove, had crooked front teeth and spaces on either side of her front teeth.

“I was not happy about that look and I always wished it was different,” she said.

So in 2000-2001, Zieman had veneers put on her top eight front teeth.

“They just came out beautiful,” Zieman said.

Veneers are thin, porcelain shells that are attached to your existing teeth. They can be matched to the natural or desired color of a person’s tooth for a uniform, authentic appearance. Porcelain veneers are also highly stain-resistant and may actually strengthen a person’s natural teeth.

“It’s nice,” Zieman said. “It’s very nice. I smile more.”

For those unhappy with their smile, Barbara R. Webster, DDS, of Webster Dental offers a myriad of options ranging from whitening to dental implants.

“You get instant results (with whitening),” Webster said. “It makes a big impact quickly.”

“Oftentimes, it’s an accident or trauma patient that will get this,” Webster said.

When it comes to whitening, Webster said the difference between an at-home whitening kit you can purchase over-the-counter and a whitening treatment from your dentist is the concentration you are getting. She said dentists offer a higher concentration of whitening solution and are also able to better manage sensitivity. Webster offers a 1.5 hour in-office treatment and added overthe-counter whitening generally takes longer and it might take more than one kit. She said it can be more economical to get an in-office treatment with the dentist.

For patients unhappy because they have a crooked smile or tooth, Webster also offers minor teeth straightening through the use of aligner trays. Through this procedure, Webster is able to move teeth half of a millimeter to one- or one-and-a-half millimeters total. Generally, teeth will move 0.15 mm every three weeks and new alignment trays are used every three weeks.

“You get good results with that one visit,” Webster said.

Veneers are another option for someone unhappy with their smile. The procedure allows a dentist to shape the alignment and color of teeth. The procedure ranges from little to no prep to having to take off part of the tooth.

“Veneers are an excellent option for someone that may have discolored teeth or misaligned teeth,” Webster said.

“I think the first thing people look at when they meet you is your eyes and then your smile,” Webster said.

Crowns also can also be used if there is more damage to a tooth and also allow for the change of shape, contours and shade of a tooth.

Cosmetic bonding is another option, which, basically, is a tooth-colored filling to build up, contour and reshape a tooth – all done chair side.

Webster said some of the most entry-level cosmetic dentistry is the use of tooth-colored fillings and whitening. The dentist said she hasn’t placed a silver filling in about 15 years and that she is able to match the tooth-colored filling to people’s teeth.

Dental implants are another option for those with some of the most severe problems. It is typically used when someone is missing a tooth.

The dentist is able to replace a single tooth or everything in the mouth, but it really depends on the expectations and budget of the patient.

“(This is) perfect for people who already had braces, but had a relapse,” Webster said.

Webster said improving her patients’ smiles is one of the most rewarding things she gets to do.

“This could be life-changing for people,” Webster said. “I’ve had patients that never smiled and people that, if they laughed, would cover their mouths to hide their smile.”

The dentist said improving a smile is a big confidence booster for many of her patients and makes a big impact on their ability to interact with people. She has even seen tears in the eyes of patients when she is done.

Zieman said for someone considering veneers or any other cosmetic procedure, it is important to find a dentist the patient trusts. And she would recommend Dr. Webster to anyone. Zieman has been in the dental field since 1963 and said she knows good, bad and mediocre and Dr. Webster is the best.

“She enjoys what she does and if you enjoy what you do, it’s going to make a difference,” Zieman said.

Fountain of

YOUTH

FOREVER 25 OFFERS BEAUTY, ANTI-AGING AND WELLNESS IN ONE CLINIC By SHERRI DAUSKURDAS The Fountain of Youth is a legendary spring that supposedly restores the youth of anyone who drinks or bathes in its waters. Tales of such waters have been recounted throughout time and across the globe.

And while the attributes of such a restorative natural pool remain unconfirmed, you can find all the real-world benefits of youthful restoration at Forever 25 Medical Center, in the form of rejuvenating treatments, enhancing services, and attentive care.

Offering cosmetic, anti-aging and pain treatments and procedures, Forever 25 provides a wide array of options, customized for each individual patient’s needs.

Nesreen Suwan, M.D., is the clinical director of Forever 25 Medical Center. She has more than 32 years of medical practice experience in various fields of medicine.

Her goal is to make treatments affordable and available to everyone with the highest standards of medical practice.

“I always say, the face is the first thing you see in the morning,” explains Dr. Suwan. “It is

the first impression someone gets when they meet you, and the image that stays in their mind. We can make that face more youthful.”

Forever 25 Medical Center offers enhancing services such as Botox and dermal fillers, as well as other services not typically found at

“The face is the first thing you see in the morning” other centers. For example, one can indulge in what is called the “Vampire Facelift.”

Don’t worry, you won’t end up with piercing red eyes or extra-pointy canine teeth. Instead, Dr. Suwan makes use of a patient’s own blood to repair weak or damaged skin. Blood is taken, and spun in a centrifuge to separate platelet-rich plasma from platelet-poor

plasma. The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is then injected into the face for facial rejuvenation, explains Dr. Suwan. “It’s a wonderful treatment.”

PRP is being studied throughout the medical community for a variety of treatments from joint regeneration to soft tissue repair, as well as the cosmetic applications. At Forever 25, “PRP can be injected in the scalp to treat patients suffering from thinning hair,” she explains.

Dr. Suwan also offers lasers that stimulate hair growth for patients, as well as multiple laser treatments for beauty, including skin rejuvenation, acne and skin discoloration treatments, and hair removal.

Acne, a very common medical condition, can lead to insecurity and low self-esteem. Forever 25 provides acne and acne scar treatments with many advanced modalities.

The center also offers all types of facials, chemical peels, microdermabrasion and tri-polar radiofrequency, and micro pen. MicroCurrent NonSurgical Facelift use tiny electric

currents to help stimulate muscles and promote increased collagen growth.

“We offer an integrated approach to anti-aging and wellness where we are providing cosmetic and regenerative medicine and variety of skin rejuvenation services in cooperation with each other.”

Forever 25 also offers Fractora, which Dr. Suwan describes as a “breakthrough” antiaging medicine, decreasing wrinkles and skin irregularities, and improving skin complexion. The Fractora technology, Dr. Suwan explains, produces the quality of results formerly achieved through CO2 lasers, but without the associated downtime, prolonged redness, and pigmentation drawbacks.

“We provide a healthier younger-looking you… all in one session,” she says.

It is Dr. Suwan, herself, who performs all the medical procedures at Forever 25 – Botox, all types of dermal fillers, PRP facelift, micropen and Fractora – without delegating those services to others, because she believes the personal attention provides the highest level of services to her patients.

Dr. Suwan maintains privileges at Adventist Hinsdale Hospital, Alexian Brothers Medical Center and Ingalls Hospital. She is a proud affiliate of Suzanne Somers “forever heath physicians network” which focused on wellness and prevention, and she has been treating many women with bio-identical hormones as a means of menopausal therapy.

To help patients not only look and feel great, but actually become healthier, Dr. Suwan offers a complete weight loss and management program that includes laser, radio-frequency treatments, meal replacements, supplements and prescription medications.

CoolSculpting® is an innovative, non-surgical way to permanently lose the bumps and bulges of stubborn fat, Dr Suwan explains. This procedure permanently freezes away unwanted fat cells in selected areas, to induce a noticeable, naturallooking reduction in fat bulges.

The CoolSculpting procedure is non-invasive, with no needles and no need for surgical incisions.

Regular daily activities could be resumed same day of the procedure.

Our mission is to let you feel better and look better, and bring out the more confident and beautiful you,” she says. “I want women to feel their real beauty, at any age.”

Turn to a team of specialists to help manage cancer risks and fears with DR. SAMIR UNDEVIA

Women have more information about their breast cancer risk than past generations ever had. If they're identified as high risk, they have more options for prevention.

Some women at the highest level of risk, such as those with a dangerous BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation, may feel their choice of options is relatively clear-cut. This type of mutation and a strong family history of cancer led actress Angelina Jolie to famously opt for a double mastectomy and removal of her ovaries and fallopian tubes. For some women at moderate risk levels, however, the decision between preventative surgery and increased surveillance can be emotionally overwhelming.

But you don’t have to face it alone. Assessments with medical experts – oncologists and genetic counselors – are available to help women determine and understand their risk, and, if necessary, decide what course of prevention and/or surveillance to take.

As the air chills, warm up to the choice of assisted living with RENEE CERVENY

E

verybody can use a helping hand at some point, and that’s especially true as we age. Seniors often discover that maneuvering throughout the house and running errands become more challenging with each passing year. These and other activities of daily living, also known as ADLs, are the reason many seniors opt to reside in an assisted living environment.

When the cold weather arrives, these activities can get all the more difficult. Snow, ice, even a blustery wind can mean problems with balance, and increase the chance of falling. For a senior, a fall can mean serious injury, which sometimes lasts for the rest of the individual’s life. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, falling can cause head injury and hip fractures that prevent normal mobility, and can even lead to early death. In 2013, 734,000 seniors were hospitalized due to falls, which are the leading cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries among the elderly.

In an assisted living facility, seniors can enjoy the freedom from typical homeowner chores like shoveling or icing the driveway. Free of the burden of driving or using public transportation that may pickup a block or more away, seniors can enjoy a range of easily accessible activities. From local and out-of-town trips to on-site entertainment and educational presentations, assisted living residents enjoy an environment that is always stimulating, without the worry of how to get there.

The cold air and shortened daylight hours of the upcoming season also can mean more time spent indoors. If a senior lives alone, this can be a lonely time.

Seniors who are unable to stay connected with family and friends can get the assistance and interaction they need within the assisted living community. Social activities, common dining areas and being surrounded FAMILY in FOCUS

with people of common age and interest can eliminate isolation and keep a senior active and engaged, as opposed to feeling housebound and alone.

If living with family members, the issues of loneliness may subside, but it can be difficult to make the needed safety changes to an existing home environment, especially if an entire family is living with the senior – keeping spaces clean and uncluttered, especially the floor. Minimizing loose papers, clothes, linens, small pieces of furniture and other objects, installing bars next to the toilet, inside and outside the shower, next to the bed and along both sides of the stairs, and even increasing the amount of light – it can all be overwhelming in a busy, active home.

But in an assisted living facility, seniors enjoy the freedom to navigate their home and community areas unfettered, and maintain a sense of independence by keeping their own living arrangement in a residential setting.

Every senior is different, which means no two levels of care are alike. Assisted living provides an ideal opportunity to deliver customized care for seniors.

One of the most crucial actions a person ever will take concerns the decision to leave one’s home. When it’s time to make that decision, for yourself, or a loved one, rest assured that assisted living is an option well worth considering.

SETTING THE SCENE

By Wendy Foster

An empty tabletop to a host is much like a blank canvas to an artist. It provides the perfect opportunity for the hostess to reflect personality, while setting the tone and character for a dinner party through the tablescape that is created.

Sally Conness is one of four owners of Downers Grove-based Avec Panache. “We call ourselves a special occasions store,” she says. “We try to have the things that people are looking for, for occasions that are special in peoples’ lives, such as weddings, showers and home entertaining.

changed through the years. People are “less and less formal,” she says. “You don’t see people using fine china or crystal like when I was growing up.”

Conness says there are components of the basic table setting etiquette from generations past that remain constant today. For instance, plates, glassware and flatware take up the same positions as they always have. Forks are to the left of the plate which is in the center. Knives and spoons are on the right. Silverware is in the order of its use, from the outside in.

“Most people don’t have enough dishes from one service for large numbers,” she explains. “It’s maybe even more interesting to do a little bit of mixing and matching of china patterns.”

But other components of table setting have 26 | OCTOBER 2015 | SUBURBAN LIFE MAGAZINE

Instead, mixing and matching is a hot, and practical trend.

White dishes, she adds always are in style, because food looks good on white dishes and they easily can be mixed with other colors and patterns.

DINING & ENTERTAINING

Glassware, Conness says, often is more casual today than in past generations, as is flatware.

“Women are busy so they don’t have time to polish silver,” she says. “They’re looking for flatware that is easier to maintain.”

Conness says hostesses can get very creative when it comes to table linens. Items such as tablecloths, runners, place mats and napkins come in a myriad of different shapes, textures and colors. Linens can be layered and placed symmetrically or asymmetrically. Many hostesses will substitute non-traditional items for table covers including quilts, pieces of fabric and more.

There will be glitches, so roll with it. People are so delighted to be invited out. They’re just happy to be there. So work on making people feel welcome, rather than making everything perfect.”

Pumpkin Spice Crème Brulee

It’s that time of year for pumpkin and spices...what better way to bring in the fall season than with a creamy pumpkin Crème Brulee. It’s very easy to prepare this creamy dessert filled with autumn flavors ... serve it with fresh berries or even toasted pecans or walnuts.

INGREDIENTS (serves six) 2 cups heavy cream 2 teaspoons rum or vanilla 8 egg yolks 1/3 cup granulated white sugar 1 cup pureed pumpkin

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 1/4 cup granulated white sugar for caramelized tops

TO MAKE Preheat oven to 300 °F. In a large bowl, whisk together the cream, rum or vanilla, yolks, sugar, pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, Blend well. Strain into a large bowl, skimming off any foam or bubbles.

Divide mixture among six ramekins or custard cups. Place in a water bath and bake until set around the edges; but still loose in the center-about 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven and leave in the water bath until cooled. Remove cups from water bath and chill for at least two hours.

TO SERVER When ready to serve, sprinkle about two teaspoons of sugar over each custard. Caramelize the tops of the custards using a hand-held torch - holding it four to five inches away from the sugar maintaining a slow and even motion.

Watch carefully so the sugar browns and does not burn.

For an alternative presentation, this recipe could be served in hollowed-out mini pumpkins.

CRAFT BEER CRAZE

By YVONNE BENSON

W

hile the range of choice from craft beer can be a little overwhelming to some who gravitate toward an old favorite brew, there’s no doubt that tastes are trending toward small batch, often local, creatively flavored options.

“I think consumers are realizing there are a lot of great choices out there,” says Jason Ebel, cofounder (and one of the brothers) of Two Brothers Brewery in Warrenville and Aurora.

“I subscribe to the ‘rising tide raises all ships’ philosophy, and I believe that has happened with craft beer over the years. There are so many breweries out there making a lot of great and innovative beers. People are discovering those beers and wanting more.”

Ed Malnar, cofounder and owner of Pollyanna Brewing Company in Lemont, says it is a delicate balance between creativity and quality that keeps micro-breweries popular.

statement which would have, once again, legalized home brewing,” he explains. (It wasn't until much later that this error was corrected.)

This led to the future founders of places like Sierra Nevada, Anchor Brewing, and The Boston Beer Company (to name just a few) to start tinkering around in their garages and basements, and eventually opening up the first wave of craft breweries in the 1980s and 1990s.

“Craft beer has brought diversity to the marketplace and it’s an affordable indulgence.”

Ebel discussed the individuality of craft beers as another reason for the appeal.

Dan Rosenberg is the Brewer and Operations Manager at Urban Legend Brewing Company in Westmont, and a bit of an historian when it comes to beer-making lore. The current popularity of craft beer can actually be traced back to the repeal of Prohibition, he says.

Autumn is one of the most creative seasons for brewers, incorporating traditional flavors of the harvest and the fall holidays into the process.

“Some brewers produce pumpkin beers and spice them accordingly,” Malnar explains. “As we move closer winter you will see darker beers with higher alcohol emerge. We will release our Personal Chain Letter – Russian Imperial Stout

32 | OCTOBER 2015 | SUBURBAN LIFE MAGAZINE

Ebel agreed, “It seems everyone makes an Oktoberfest or Pumpkin beer, or both. We release our very popular Atom Smasher, which is an Oktoberfest style lager named in honor of our Fermilab neighbors. It was released in late August and has been in high demand. It’s a great seasonal option for the fall.”

“As their popularity increased and more states started to lift their bans on home brewing, more and more brewers started to play with their Two Brothers own recipes, and releases a ‘wet the movement hopped’ beer gradually spread called Heavy into what Ed Malnar, owner of Pollyanna Brewing Company Handed IPA it is today,” annually. “With Rosenberg says. this beer, we pick local hops and add them to the

“Craft beer has brought diversity to the marketplace and it’s an affordable indulgence,” he explains. “There is an ever-expanding craft beer universe. Brewers are constantly pushing beyond established style guidelines to create very unique beers, satisfying people’s appetite for something new. However, the flipside to that thinking is that people always want to fall back to a beer that is known to them – so there are many of those as well.”

“When Prohibition was repealed, the court stenographer unfortunately omitted the

in both keg and Bourbon Barrel aged versions in November. No doubt you will see numerous sour and funky beers place their mark on the season, as well as this is a growing trend across the board.”

“I think each brewery has its own identity. Two Brothers is focused on providing quality beer for a wide variety of tastes. We don’t want that to cater to just your stereotypical beer aficionado.

We want to be inclusive.”

beer almost immediately,” Ebel says. “We do this with three different hops (Centennial, Cascade and Chinook) and distribute all three throughout the Chicago area. We try to encourage our fans to try and track down all three varieties and tell us which hop they like best.”

If all these flavor profile intrigue you, there are plenty of local craft breweries and tap rooms where you can enjoy a pint, or perhaps a flight of different styles. If it all seems a bit overwhelming, don’t distress.

“People should know that craft beer isn't as daunting as it may seem,” says Rosenberg.

“While there are hundreds of unique styles out there, people don't have to attack them all at once. Just keep sampling, and you'll figure out what you like. It's all about trying something new.” mysuburbanlife.com/magazine

GIVING 110 PERCENT Mabel Chirolla an advocate for families

By MELISSA RUBALCABA RISKE

F

or Mabel Chirolla, her job is more than just work. It is a dedication to each and every person who walks through the office doors.

Dr. Tim Wall invited her 16 years ago to join Pediatric Health Associates as the manager for the West Chicago location. It didn’t take long for the health care office to become a community resource as the staff began to provide more than physicals and care for the sick.

Chirolla says one of the biggest differences she has found in the United States is a desire – and ability – to help others, something she thinks is lacking in her home country.

“We know their names, we know their families, and we know the moms."

Gieseman says Chirolla led the charge to help the community, bringing attention to patients’ needs and searching for the resources to help, whether that was providing volunteers to help transport patients to their appointments or creating a network of volunteer interpreters to accompany patients visiting a specialist and provide face-to-face translations from the doctors.

“I’m so proud of our office, how we treat our patients. They are not a number or just another patient,” Chirolla says. “We know their names, we know their families, and we know the moms.

This is the way we make them feel comfortable and show that we can help them.”

Chirolla helped create PANNA, a Spanishspeaking support group for families affect by autism, in 2010. Chirolla says the group, which started with just four families has grown to more than 20 families and now includes support from Western DuPage Special Recreation Association.

The desire to help is just a part of Chirolla’s vibrant personality. Born in Bogota, Colombia,

“I think the U.S. has the most opportunity for people and everybody is willing to help,” she says.

She is a founding member of Carelink, a foundation developed to help close the gap in health care for the homeless and low income minority populations where English is not the primary

language.

“I see a lot of underserved families who need somebody to guide them to the right resources, to help them find the help they need,” Chirolla says.

She makes regular visit to the county health department to speak with prenatal patients about services and resources available. For several years she was the director of program providing up-to-date car seats to low-income families.

“They would come in with these car seats that were so old, that they had bought at a garage sale,” she says. “We provided the car seats and if the families had older children, we made sure they had car seats too.”

like to create a support group for adolescents dealing with eating disorders, after noticing an increasing problem in the community. As with many programs, Chirolla says education is a priority and at times, it can be a challenge helping families unfamiliar or unaware of health issues.

“Sometimes it can be difficult to get people to believe in you, that you can get the resources for them,” Chirolla says.

And yet she is overwhelmed when people take the time to say thank you, bringing in homemade food to the office or making a special stop to visit and share family updates.

Chirolla says she was disappointed when state funding put an end to the much needed program, “I need more hours in a day,” she jokes, “because 24 hours is not enough." but not one to slow down, she is always working on new programs and projects. She’d

“Whenever she saw a need, she would find a way to get that need met,” says Romina Gieseman, a nurse practitioner who worked with Chirolla many of those years.

Chirolla arrived in Chicago in the mid 1980s to study English. A few weeks into her stay she met Alfredo, also a student. The two married and made the Chicago area their new home. She and Alfredo have two grown daughters and now reside in the western suburbs.

Vicki Martinka Petersen enjoys taking long train rides through the western suburbs to her job as a media relations specialist for a health care association in Chicago. She believes Chicago isn’t the only fun destination along the train line and is sharing what the suburban train stops have to offer.

Ticket to Ride

By VICKI MARTINKA PETERSEN

Date night destinations I never truly grasped the significance of date nights until I became a mother. Not only did “me time” get placed on the backburner but soon, so did couple time. In an effort to recharge and reconnect, my husband, Chris, met me after work for three dates along the train line.

FIRST STOP – Bottle and Bottega in La Grange (south of tracks, 1 W. Harris Ave., bottleandbottega.com). Unleashing your hidden artistic talents while sipping on wine certainly has become a growing trend for both date and girls’ nights. Bottle and Bottega has plenty of wine glasses and corkscrews to accommodate the bottle you bring from home.

Donning our paint splattered smocks, we followed along as the teacher sketched the night’s painting: the Chicago Blackhawks logo. Soon Chris jumped in working ahead of the class while I, who recently went to a similar place with friends, treaded cautiously, with hopes my second painting would be better than the first!

As the night went on and the wine kicked in, even I began experimenting with blending colors.

Neither of our paintings looked precisely like the logo, but with a bit of practice I think we can get the hang of this.

SECOND STOP – Tivoli Theatre in Downers Grove (north of tracks, 5021 Highland Ave., classiccinemas. com). It was déjà vu coming back to the Tivoli. For years I worked just steps from the theatre where Chris often met me after work to watch second-run movies. Before Chris started working from home

to care for our son, we would check the marquee every week from the train to see what was playing and plan an evening to stop in Downers Grove when we found a flick we liked. It’s not just the inexpensive date night that appeals to us, but the grandeur of stepping into the 86-year-old theater, which opened on Christmas Day in 1928. Although the theatre has undergone renovations through the years, its history lives on through the French Renaissance décor and Wurlitzer pipe organ. It’s even a nice venue to take the kids, and show them what movie theaters looked like before the days of multiplex cinemas.

LAST STOP – Paramount Theatre in Aurora (southwest of tracks, 25 E. Galena Blvd., paramountaurora. com). Last summer we treated ourselves to a subscription to Paramount’s Broadway Series and enjoyed it so much we renewed our subscription this year. This season kicks off with “Oklahoma!,” which I never have seen (but know “The Surrey with the Fringe on Top” courtesy of Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan belting out the tune in the middle of a store in “When Harry Met Sally.”) Speaking of movies, the rest of season features stage productions of beloved movie classics: “A Christmas Story,” “Hairspray” and “West Side Story.”

The quality of production at the Paramount rivals its downtown counterparts. Stop at one of the fine dining restaurants in downtown Aurora to cap off the date (our favorite is Two Brothers Roundhouse).

¢ STAYING IN STEP ¢ With Ann Garvey

One sweet date night…

Ann Garvey is an accomplished dancer, instructor, choreographer and the owner of Celebrity Dance Studio in Downers Grove. Celebrity offers private dance lessons from all styles, such as ballroom, Latin, and hip hop.

Sweetest Day is October 17, and remains one of the more popular date nights of the year. If you’re looking for something cleverly romantic and out of the box, why not try dance lessons?

For a long-term couple, discovering a shared hobby or activity can renew feelings of intimacy, connecting you on a romantic level that you may have forgotten. It's a great thing for the couples to share.

When two people share a goal to dance together, they learn to grow emotionally and physically together by working with one another in a close, intimate setting. It also allows for romance and attraction to grow.

If you’re parents of growing and busy kids, date night can be one of the most important things you can do for your relationship. Dance lessons provide not only a great outlet for you as a couple, but also a designated time and place, a regular appointment to be somewhere, together, just the two of you.

New couples can use the dance lessons as a way to challenge themselves by learning something new together. The shared experience puts both people on a level playing field, and you can experience the successes and struggles as a team.

You can opt for private couples dance lessons or a more social group format. Taking a combination of both is the best way to truly learn to dance. If a couple chooses

OUT & ABOUT

to do private lessons the benefit – besides one-on-one training with an instructor – is also going at your pace.

For many people, getting up to dance at a social event is very intimidating and nobody likes to feel embarrassed. But with formal training they feel that together they have the tools to have fun on the dance floor. Dancing is a great motivator and confidence builder, and learning to dance can be a great and healthy hobby you can do together for a life time.

Sign up for a dance class today, and have more fun out of life!

ART APPRECIATION with LYNN DAY

A R T, I N T H E E V E R Y D AY Art can change a look. Art can change a mood.

Whether you are the creator or enjoying the creation, art enhances your life through its story and thought-provoking beauty. Art is diverse.

Art is dynamic. It’s something that each of us interprets individually.

Lynn Day is owner and events manager of the wine & art party studio, Bottle & Bottega located in Glen Ellyn. She has over 20 years of experience in event planning both as a not-forprofit volunteer and professionally.

The Oxford Dictionary defines art as “The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.” In today’s culture, this definition can be expanded to include performance art as in dance, acting and music along with culinary art, architecture, graphic arts, drawing and literature.

To truly appreciate whatever form of art engages you, one must reflect not only on the final “masterpiece” but also on all that embodies the final production. Take, for example, a ballet. It is made up of the physical grace and prowess of each dancer, but also the choreography, the

OUT & ABOUT

costumes, the music lighting and staging. While a production may last from a few minutes to a couple of hours, it has been a work in progress for many years….years that include hours of lessons and rehearsals, heartaches and triumphs, along with all that goes in to its creation…fabrics and costumes, instruments and music, stage architecture and direction. To fully embrace and experience art, one must consider all that happens before the final masterpiece is unveiled.

I love art for those very reasons! Whether it’s painting and design, dancing, cooking, listening to music, or reading a great book, art takes me to another dimension…one which helps me to create balance, allowing me to unplug, let my mind wander and my imagination bloom. Art is in the everyday. Be sure to take some time to create your own art or to enjoy the creation from another.
