ne house, seven girls, two bathrooms. Yes, I just returned from a long overdue girls’ weekend in Santa Barbara, my old college stomping grounds. It had been years—way too long in fact—since we roomies were all together in one place at one time. Having rented a house near the beach and right downtown, the weekend delivered countless throw-your-head-backlaughing moments reminiscent of the amazing times spent together in our 20s. Regardless of the years passed, time zones crossed and children born—it was like we never missed a beat. And while on this occasion we may have traded our less-luxurious, randomly decorated and perfectly simple off-campus “We don’t home for one that afstop playing forded modern décor, because we fabulous bedding and flat screens, it regrow old; ally didn’t matter—it we grow old was 1999 all over because we again. We could have stop playing.” been in sleeping bags —George and tents and it would Bernard Shaw have been just as great (maybe even better?!). Returning home after pretending to be 21 again for a few days, I was filled with giddy upon recounting the weekend to friends and family. I often daydream and say to myself, “oh to be back in school again…” as if my thoughts could mentally turn back the clock. But after this weekend, I realized, who needs school to feel young and carefree (I get that I’m not old, but you know what I mean…)? All it took for me was a break from my big girl schedule to “play” with friends again. The moments of silliness we share with loved ones keep that eternal flame of youth aglow, pushing us to never stop achieving that which our souls whisper to seek. This month find plenty of inspiration to revisit your beginnings in our “20+ Under 20” feature that captures local youth following their dreams. — Desiree

at the Rotary Club and the Placer SPCA (placerspca.org). In January of this year, he was elected president of the SPCA’s board of directors, and he is excited to help make a difference in enhancing the lives of companion animals and the people who love them. On May 29, the organization will host a “Woof, Wine & Dine” event to raise funds for the SPCA’s new facility on Yosemite Street in Roseville. Shellito—a lifelong dog lover—is just proud to be part of an organization that boasts nearly 1,000 volunteers who supports the care and adoption of 2,189 animals each year. “When you’re lucky enough to have a career that gives you the chance to make a difference, you should do that,” Shellito shares. “It all comes back to you and makes your life better, too.” — Amber Foster

uring his 31 years as Roseville’s Parks and Recreation director, Mike Shellito helped plan and execute over 50 major park improvement projects, including the Woodcreek Golf Course, the Roseville Sports Center, the Martha Riley Library and the Roseville Aquatics Complex. Upon his retirement, one project was even named after him—the Mike Shellito Indoor Pool—but for Shellito, the most rewarding part of his years with the city was helping to create recreational facilities for future generations to enjoy. “It’s a lot of people’s legacy,” he explains. “Myself, along with hundreds of people, helped make that happen. It’s wonderful to know that I had a hand in helping to create that.” Since retiring from the City of Roseville in 2010, Shellito continues to volunteer

roseville parks and recreation Operation Swim

icking out a new swimsuit (or two), jumping into the pool, swimming for hours on end— these are cherished memories many of us have of our childhood summers. Unfortunately, many children in our community can’t afford a swimsuit, and the opportunity to learn how to swim is even less likely. Learning the important skills of swimming and water safety can be lifesaving. Operation Swim is here to help! THE GOALS OF OPERATION SWIM: 1. Collect donations of new swimsuits and beach towels for children in need. Donations are currently being collected at the Mike Shellito Indoor Pool. Check the website for more locations. 2. Provide swim lessons to at least 150 children in need through monetary donations. For every $40 collected, a child will receive a new swimsuit, beach towel and swimming lessons. HOW CAN YOU HELP? All donations are accepted—you name the amount. To donate, visit roseville.ca.us/ operationswim or call 916-772-PLAY and say you would like to be a part of Operation Swim. — Pam Allen For more information about Roseville Parks and Recreation, visit roseville.ca.us/parks.

season’s eatings

PlacerGROWN and Foothill Farmers’ Market

What’s in Season: Blueberries

hile they may be small, when it comes to nutrition and flavor, nothing beats the power of blueberries. In terms of popularity, blueberries rank second in the U.S. (strawberries are number one), and they happen to be one of the few fruits that are native to North America. Blueberries are at the head of the class nutritionally, too, with their abundance of vitamin C and manganese. What’s more, they’re low in fat and sodium, a good source of fiber, contain only 80 calories per cup, and are rich in many types of antioxidants and enzymes. Try adding a handful to your breakfast cereal or smoothie, baking them into your favorite muffin recipe or in an elegant dessert layered with yogurt and served in a parfait or wine glass. They’re also delicious mixed with wine and ginger and layered on a pan-roasted pork chop (for the recipe, visit stylergbr.com).

SELECTION AND STORAGE When shopping for the best-tasting blueberries, it’s a good idea to shake them; if they seem to move around freely in their container, you can safely assume they’re not too soft, moldy or damaged. Blueberries are considered to be the most delicious when they maintain a consistent color of blue. Take note to avoid berries that are dull in color, as these tend to be soft and sometimes watery. Moisture is indeed the fruit’s enemy and can cause it to decay at a faster rate than those that are kept dry; therefore, don’t wash them until ready to use, and place in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to three days (if kept at room temperature, they’ll usually spoil after a day or two). If you find yourself with more than a three-day supply, freezing them is a good option 14 stylergbr.com - May 2015

ask the expert Q: What does the term “green cleaning” mean?

Green cleaning protects the health of the environment and allows you to avoid exposure to dangerous chemicals and cleaning practices that could be harmful to you and your family’s health. Here are some green cleaning tips: 1/Clean with plant-oil disinfectants like rosemary, sage or eucalyptus, along with some “elbow grease.” Vinegar also disinfects and inhibits growth of mold and mildew. 2/Use old T-shirts and socks to clean, instead of paper products. 3/Cut a lemon in half, run it over chrome faucets and buff for instant shine; sprinkle baking soda on the other half to scrub away surface stains. Grind both halves in the garbage disposal to freshen the sink. 4/Simmer cloves or cinnamon sticks in water for an hour to create a natural air freshener. 5/Open windows to let product pollutants out. 6/Use a vacuum cleaner that utilizes a HEPA filtration system to capture tiny bacteria and particles that distress allergy sufferers. —Rick and Becky Kraemer The Maids 6611 Folsom-Auburn Road, Suite L Folsom 916-294-5700, maids.com (although this can slightly change their texture and flavor). Before freezing, wash, drain and dry the berries, making sure to remove any damaged ones. For best results, experts suggest spreading them on a tray until frozen and then placing in a sealable, plastic bag for storage. FOR THE RECIPE TO MAKE PAN-ROASTED PORK WITH BLUEBERRY-ZINFANDEL COMPOTE, VISIT STYLERGBR.COM. — Susan Belknap For details on where to buy Placer County farm-fresh produce, wine, meat and local products, visit placergrown.org.

foodie find

Short Stuff Café

reakfast burritos are the pinnacle of breakfast foods—minus the orange juice, it’s an entire breakfast table rolled into one soft tortilla. As such, I have high standards for them—they should be full of flavor, like a stacked plate at a good Vegas buffet. Thankfully, I uncovered a goldmine at Short Stuff Café. Don’t let its hidden location at the Chevron station deter you. At Short Stuff, you can fill up the gas tank while a quality breakfast fills yours. I was lucky enough to try the Sausage Wrap (sausage, eggs, pepper jack cheese and green onions), and was surprised at the freshly fried fluffiness of the eggs—which are real I might add, and made right in front of you—and the cheesiness of the gooey pepper jack within a chewy tortilla. What the café lacks in seating and ambience it makes up for in tastiness and convenience. The burrito silenced my early morning tummy rumbles and rivaled every other breakfast wrap I’ve tasted, which made me realize that Short Stuff truly has the right stuff for the most important meal of the day. Short Stuff Café, 1505 Eureka Road, Roseville, 916-786-3935. — Adrianna Valencia

Go loco this Cinco de Mayo by sampling Style staffers’ 10 favorite local Mexican dishes. Just don’t forget the margaritas! In no particular order… 1. For a meal that’s filling and feels guilt-free, order the Chicken Taco Salad at Jimboy’s Tacos. It may be the only “salad” I crave. jimboystacos.com  2. As a kid, frozen taquitos were my fav, so it’s no surprise the fresh-made Chicken Taquitos at Casa Ramos are my grown-up go-to. casaramos.net 3. The beer-battered Fish Tacos at Don Quixote’s Mexican Grill are consistently crunchy, fresh and flavorful. What’s more, you can customize between regular or spicy (perfect for my fire-loving palate)! thedon.net 4. Spicy and citrusy, the Tostada de Ceviche at Plaza Jalisco never fails to impress the taste buds. plazajaliscorestaurant.com 5. Sometimes less is more, and the Al Pastor Tacos at Fresh Mex Jalisco Grill are proof. Meat, salsa, cilantro, onions and corn tortillas are the makings of Mexican food success. jaliscogrill.com 6. The Super Nachos at Rudy’s Mexican Gourmet Restaurant have a perfect ratio of chips to toppings, ensuring each bite gets loaded with goodies galore. 916-435-4050 7. The Chile Relleno Burrito at Taqueria El Tapatio is easily enough for two meals, but it’s so scrumptious that stopping halfway through is hard! 916-788-0212 8. For a simple supper that hits all the right flavor notes, try the Steak Quesadilla at Dos Coyotes Border Cafe. How can you go wrong with gooey, melty cheese and tender meat in a grilled tortilla? doscoyotes.com 9. When you’re craving something off the usual Mexican food path, try the Mulitas (think of a corn tortilla quesadilla on steroids) at Chando’s Tacos. chandostacos.com 10. The aptly named Super Burrito with carnitas at Los Cabos Grill isn’t only “super” and titanic in size, but tasty too. Try it “wet,” and thank me later. loscabosgrill.net — Megan Wiskus

Breaking Through

I also became friends with working artists and began studying the masters of impressionism.

HLB: Why did you choose to work with oils and in the impressionist style? VB: I studied oil painting because of the texture and richness it has. I’m primarily an oil painter, but work in watercolor and acrylic as well. I love the vibrant energy and painterly quality of impressionism.

HLB: How did you get started in plein air? VB: I’d been hearing how beneficial working on location—directly

Chasing the Light by Heather L. Becker

or years, Victoria Brooks lived the fast-paced Southern California lifestyle as a graphic designer/art director for television and movies. Ultimately wanting to be a fine artist, she went back to school to study painting and eventually traded city life for the Loomis countryside. Brooks recently celebrated her 10th anniversary of teaching international plein air workshops (her next one is September 28-October 5, 2016, in the French Riviera); in addition, she instructs a weekly “Impressionist Oil Painting” class at the Sacramento Fine Arts Center and a plein air painting workshop (May 16-17) through the Mendocino Art Center. You can view her work at the Old Town Gallery of Fine Art in Auburn, Patris Studio and Art Gallery in Sacramento, and the Loomis Art Loop (May 9-10).

HLB: What do you love most about your community? VB: The sunshine! Living in the foothills is beautiful and sort of a midway point between the Northwest and tropical Los Angeles— [except there’s] a lot more open space and less [people]. There are many wonderful artists and art organizations here, too.

HLB: What inspires you most? VB: Beauty. It’s all about the light and how it illuminates the landscape, figure, portrait or still life. I’m always “chasing the light” and trying to capture that effect in oils.

HLB: Do you ever get “artist’s block”? VB: Not often. I have a wonderful library of my favorite artists (deceased and alive) who guide me in some of the problem solving that arises in oil painting. I usually have several paintings going at once and can let one rest while I work on another and think about how to improve the first. Most people don’t realize how much of painting is done in the mind first. For more information, visit vbrooks.com.

HLB: Tell us about your early days as an artist? VB: I grew up in Portland, Oregon, and my parents gave [my siblings and me] art supplies to keep us busy during all those rainy days. I was always sketching and painting. In high school, I painted posters and sold them to teachers and students. Then in college, I chose to study graphic design, which included lots of art classes.

HLB: What has been your biggest influence? VB: Attending The Art Institute of California. While learning new skills, 22 stylergbr.com - May 2015

from life—was from my artist friends. I finally took a plein air workshop with Arizona artist Matt Smith. I had no idea what I was doing, but he shared everything with me and I was hooked! What I love about plein air is the challenge of capturing the color and atmosphere of a live subject. Capturing the moment with the sun racing across the sky forces you to see and paint quickly, giving it a spontaneous and fresh feel.

furry friends with benefits 6 Benefits of Pet Ownership //

Not everyone is equipped to own a pet, but that doesn’t mean you can’t spend time with animals. Check out your local animal shelters and rescues to see what volunteer opportunities are available. Many of these nonprofits need dog walkers or someone to help socialize cats. It’s a fun, rewarding and meaningful experience that can make you feel good and help the potential pet have a greater chance of finding a forever home. Check out Placer SPCA (placerspca.org), Animal Services in Diamond Springs (edcgov.us/ animalservices) and Folsom Felines (folsomfelines.org).

THERAPY DOGS You and your dog can become someone else’s best friend. It’s beyond rewarding to share your pet with someone who needs support, encouragement or simply unconditional love. Our area has several groups: • Sacramento-based Lend a Heart Lend a Hand Animal-Assisted Therapy brings dogs of all sizes to people of all ages for an interaction of love. • Mercy’s Hospice Source of Unconditional Love (SOUL) program brings animals to terminally ill patients and their families for a loving break from sadness and sorrow. • Sutter Roseville Medical Center has several dog/human teams that offer support and a bright spot during a hospital stay.

he paw print shaped bumper sticker asks: “Who rescued who?” Although the grammar is incorrect, the sentiment is spot on. Who benefits from the partnership more: the human or the pet? Judith Esquivel, a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Roseville, says “Pets of any size, from fish to horses, are instrumental in helping people get better from physical or emotional issues.” She says there are multiple scientific studies that prove pets enrich our lives in many ways. “Animals are very intuitive to our needs and feelings,” Esquivel says. “They care about you in a way a fellow human might not.” Dr. Brad Cahoon, owner and veterinarian of the Veterinary Healing Centers of Folsom and El Dorado Hills, agrees. “My relationship with animals as a veterinarian has enabled me to value them in a unique way,” Cahoon explains. “They don’t judge you and are always loyal friends and companions.” In his integrative practice, which brings Western and Eastern medicines together, he sees a lot of good in relationships between pets and their owners. “Entering into a relationship with a pet creates an opportunity to care and bond with them...This responsibility and position as a caretaker gives the pet owner a purpose. In return, the animal’s love and devotion can help these individuals heal from all types of physical and emotional traumas.” Here are six additional health benefits of cohabitating with a furry friend.

Shari (human) with Jax

4 / Peaceful Petting The act of stroking the fur of an animal is proven to bring about all sorts of calming effects, including reducing blood pressure and heart rate.

5 / Physical Prowess Just having that friendly, all-loving pet around can help you lower cholesterol levels and ease pain. No matter what happens—from job loss to financial problems—your furry friend will still be happy to see and stand by you. As James Taylor sings in his hit “You’ve Got a Friend”—You just call out my name, and you know wherever I am, I’ll come running to see you again. In other words, your best buddy will be there if you’re down.

6 / Disease Detector Science has proven that certain dogs have the ability to detect some cancers. Also, therapy dogs can be used to tell diabetic owners when their blood sugar is dangerously low.

1 / Allergy and Asthma Assistance It sounds counter intuitive, however, recent studies show infants exposed to animals are less likely to develop allergies or asthma in adulthood.

2 / Socialization Success Having a pet can increase opportunities for social interactions. A dog is a natural conversation starter and can lead to friendships…and beyond.

3 / Exercise Incentive Pets need attention and care. Having a canine means a daily walk. Whether it’s around the block or a long run, both you and your pooch will reap all of the health benefits.

ourkids BECOMING A FOSTER PARENT “Foster parenting can be a terrifically rewarding experience,” says Richard S. Knecht, MS, client services director at Children’s System of Care-Placer County. “Helping young people who’ve not experienced the peace and joy of family is life-changing for all involved.” Foster parents receive a monthly stipend from the state to feed, clothe and otherwise meet the needs of the child. Individuals wanting to foster need to:

promoting possibilities

• Apply for a license from the state to ensure health and safety requirements are met • Attend an orientation, as well as an 18-hour training program, and become First Aid and CPR certified • Pass a TB test and health screening, get fingerprinted and pass a criminal background check For more information, call 1-800-KIDS4-US.

The Truth About Foster Care

hen Destiny Bullock’s mother was arrested for drug possession and her grandfather was too elderly to care for her, the then oneyear-old was put into foster care—a temporary living arrangement for neglected or abused youth whose parents are legally not capable of caring for them. At 14-monthsold, Lilliput Children’s Services placed her with the Bullocks, a family who fought to keep her, even after Destiny’s mother was released from jail and wanted custody. Her birth mother “was unable to prove to the court that she could provide and take care of me,” says the 22-year-old, who was eventually adopted by the Bullocks and now lives in Citrus Heights. While Destiny forgets most of her childhood, one thing stands out: “I remember having a close bond with my family, especially my mom, Peggy,” she says. These days, Destiny is happy and eager to get rid of foster care’s stigma. “Being a foster child doesn’t automatically make one bad or damaged,” she says, explaining kids need good role models and a positive environment. “The key is to surround children with strong role models who can build [them] up and teach them how to be a good person,” Destiny says. Being in foster care isn’t easy. Children are separated from loved ones, friends, schools, teachers and everything they know. “It’s very

scary for a young person—they are typically removed from their home suddenly, by a stranger, and with little understanding of why,” says Dr. Laura Heintz, PsyD, chief executive officer at Stanford Youth Solutions in Sacramento. “Then they await placement or go to a shelter. Wherever they go, it’s different than [what] they know. It’s hard to have a sense of belonging.” Heintz explains kids in foster care also face emotional family visits, as well as court hearings. Life feels “unpredictable and it’s very hard for them to trust adults,” she says, noting if kids can make a connection, it’s devastating when those adults—such as social workers—leave the child’s life. Many kids get reunited with their birth parents, but others remain in the system. The median number of months in foster care for kids in California is 14. Of the kids who entered in the first half of 2012, one year later, 39 percent were reunified with their families and 58 percent remained in foster care. “There are far more children in foster care that need a permanent, adoptive home than there are families available to adopt them,” says Elizabeth Morabito, community relations manager at Lilliput Children’s Services, noting Lilliput recruits foster families who are also committed to adoption. “In California, about 10,000 children are not going to return home and need to be

Last year, nearly 2,000 youth “aged out of the system,” without a family connection, which means they turned 18 while in foster care. “All it takes is one caring adult to make a difference in the life of a child,” says Morabito. “With the support of a family, youth have better chances of graduating from high school, attending college and holding a steady job.”

Clean water helps mothers breastfeed their babies and helps fight malnutrition.” In addition to accepting tax-deductible donations through the organization’s website, Bowin and her supporters are currently seeking volunteers interested in writing grants to secure much-needed funding. “Taste of Loomis,” a local celebration of food, wine, live music and dancing, also benefits the organization. This year’s event will be held Friday, June 19, at the Blue Anchor Stage and Park in downtown Loomis; advance tickets are available on FOA’s website for just $40. “The number of children who die from lack of clean water just breaks my heart. Everyone deserves the basic human right to have access to [it],” Bowin shares. “I am thankful to have so much, and I’m always up for the opportunity to give back. This life is so much more about giving than receiving. To see someone’s life impacted in so many ways from the hard work that we do is such a blessing.”

ollowing a near-death experience in 2007, Carrie Beth Bowin says she was inspired to serve others. She began by moving to Ecuador and working at an orphanage. The experience was so rewarding that, with the help of friends, she founded her own non-profit organization in 2009, dedicated to affecting positive change in the world. While doing relief work in Haiti following the catastrophic earthquake of 2010, Bowin once again found inspiration. “People were coming into our clinics suffering greatly from dehydration and parasites. Children were begging us for water,” she explains. “I knew there could be a way to end this needless suffering and that is when our foundation started focusing on water and clean water needs around the globe.” As executive director of the nonprofit For One Another (FOA), Bowin and her team of mostly volunteers donate Sawyer Point One water filtration kits to orphanages, clinics, schools and small communities throughout North, Central and South America, and India and Africa, while educating children about hygiene. “It’s an amazing thing to be a part of changing the lives of others in the sense that clean water actually saves lives,” says FOA Board Member, Elham Watson. “We have met people who lived with severe health issues due to waterborne illness and as a result of our water filters, experienced a completely improved quality of life.” According to UNICEF, more than 1.1 billion people lack access to safe and affordable water, while End Water Poverty—a global coalition dedicated to combating the world’s water and sanitation crisis—reports that access to clean water and proper sanitation could save the lives of more than half a million children. “I know our foundation has saved lives,” Bowin says. “Children in rural areas can go to school because they do not have to walk as far to get water with the solutions that we

better with age 5 Tips to Increase Intimacy by LeeAnn Dickson

sion is an evolving part of the whole.” In her practice, Improve Intimacy, she sees people of all ages—helping older people, however, is very close to her heart. Being of a certain age isn’t a crime; we need to count it as a blessing. As the old Irish proverb advises: A new broom sweeps clean, but the old brush knows all the corners. Here are five tips to help you bring some love back into your life.

1 / Communicate with your partner or with a therapist. Talking about your wants, needs, and possible problems helps you and your partner avoid misunderstandings and hurt feelings.

2 / Set the mood and build up to a romantic interlude. Put on Sinatra, light the candles and pour the wine. Then, when the mood is set, take your time and enjoy each other.

3 / Mix it up. Try something new and

maybe try another time to enjoy each other. Morning is the new night when it comes to having a romp—some have more stamina when rested and fresh.

4 / Increase stimulation. Don’t rush— it’s the journey not the destination that brings the most satisfaction. As we age, certain areas tend to get dry; thankfully, there are many over-the-counter products to help in that delicate department.

5 / Just do it. Don’t let negative stereotypes stop you from enjoying this very important part of living. Get on with it, and have a good time! Rocklin couple Fred and Ethel Mertz* know Fisher is right. “We’re in our 70s and are both healthy and feel great, so we’re not going to let that part of our lives fade away,” Fred says. Ethel agrees. “We just don’t make a big deal of it—we enjoy ourselves and have a fun and fulfilling sex life.” *Names changed to protect their identity.

s baby boomers, we want to stay as young in our bodies as we feel in our minds. Thankfully, science has helped make this happen by creating better lotions, potions and miracle cures, which keep aging at bay; while our TV sets are filled with anti-aging advertisements promising plumper this and smoother that. Even though the wrinkles aren’t as deep as our parents and liver spots are a thing of the past, there are some areas of our bodies that—to put it delicately—may not function as well as they once did. When it comes to sexual function, some of our parts and/or the sum of our parts may not be working as intended. “Performance issues, such as erectile dysfunction (ED) or low to no desire, are often more of an emotional or physiological problem than purely physical,” says Dr. Fran Fisher, an AASECT certified sexual counselor who’s based in Granite Bay. And she’s right. With derogatory terms like “dirty old man” and “cougar” being bantered about, it’s easy to start believing that after a certain age society dictates that intimacy in our life is over. Well, it doesn’t have to be. “We can all be sexual to the day we die, if we choose to,” Dr Fisher explains. “However that looks—it’s beautiful. Aging changes everything in our lives, and sexual expres-

what’s your style?

sofa and chairs in an island colonial style can pair well with those Adirondacks, or a more rustic outdoor dining set of wood and metal. Finish it off with bright pillows and a simple and stylish outdoor rug, and you’ll find yourself enjoying the space at all times—even when you’re not entertaining.

3 Outdoor Furnishing Options

3 / CLEAN AND CONTEMPORARY

ne of the best perks of California living is the outdoor spaces; whether we’re talking a small patio, porch, balcony or a resort-like backyard, a little thought and planning can lay the foundation for creating a stylish, functional living space.

may not actually match your interior furniture, but you’ll keep the traditional theme going inside and out. If you’re looking at allweather patio sets made of durable resin, consider a wicker finish. For a more traditional look, pick pieces with a higher back that have a little more curve and flair, and choose fabrics and cushions accordingly. Bold and bright stripes will take you a little toward the transitional, while a beautiful floral print will root you firmly in history.

2 / TAKE IT TRANSITIONAL

FIRST THINGS FIRST Take a minute to figure out what you really want to do in that space, and what the weather, light and exposure will allow. Are we talking parties of 10 a couple weekends a month, or leisurely Sunday mornings and dinners for two throughout the week? What is the actual size of the space you’re working with? Next, determine whether your basic design style is traditional, transitional or contemporary—you’ll want to complement that style with your outdoor design in order to create the illusion of extra square footage. Let’s break down your outdoor furniture options by style.

1 / KEEP IT TRADITIONAL If your indoor style is traditional, a beach-y getaway motif is a simple and solid style. Adirondack chairs and a similarly simple dining table and chairs—even a standard picnic table updated with fresh paint and fun fabric—will allow for lots of flexibility. It 34 stylergbr.com - May 2015

Most of us are working from a transitional design perspective—a little of the old, a little of the new. This is actually a smart style that can evolve with you over time and doesn’t box you in. The key with transitional design is to keep the background muted and simple so that you introduce pops of color and texture to bring the pieces together; a mix of materials—such as wood and metal— work well in this setting, too. Keep the lines clean and straight, and you’ll have room to accessorize with more personal pieces and landscaping. An all-weather wicker

Taking your contemporary style outdoors really highlights that feeling of some extra square footage, as it tends to be a style that blurs the line between indoors and out. Design the space like a hip, outdoor lounge and focus on seating for friends—an outdoor sectional with clean lines and a low back with matching chairs will more than double the sitting space available for those weekend parties. An outdoor bar instead of a dining table has at least two advantages: first, an outdoor bar (!); second, the choice to forgo the table for seating and the bar means you’ll need to stick to finger foods when you entertain, making it that much easier to send out the invitations.

My Super Son Grows Up by Tom Mailey

his kid. Who came into the world screaming and squirming so much I nearly dropped him moments after the nurse placed him in my arms. I held him closely, tightly. His first exhalations were wails in my ear. This kid, with the quick laugh and jacko‘-lantern grin, whose face was just another surface for food at mealtime. His eyes snapped open each morning like big blue headlights, and then spent the day flicking toward the slightest little everything. He went straight from crawling to running, a diapered machine of perpetual motion, a little man with a mind of his own, whose first words were “me do!” On walks, he was always five yards ahead glancing back—not to see if we were there, but wondering what the hell was taking us so long. Once, he squeezed through a golf course fence and ran straight for a sand trap, turning it into his own personal sandbox until we flagged down a course marshal, who chased him back to us. 38 stylemg.com - May 2015

This kid. His fearlessness to dirt, heights and things that left dents made him a great—if sometimes misguided—little helper, like when he was three and decided our carpet needed watering so he brought the hose inside and turned it on. This kid, who we noticed early on was repeatedly flicking his wrists, shrugging his shoulders, clearing his throat and flaring his nostrils. Who genuinely couldn’t sit still (save for back scratches from Mom—then he could be still for hours). Sometimes he talked way too much; sometimes he was way too impulsive. Listening was a challenge. In third grade he would be diagnosed with both Tourette’s and ADHD. We worried other kids might make fun. Many didn’t. Some did. This kid, who we put on medication— the first of which dimmed the light in those bright blue eyes; and another that made him nauseous. We decided medication created

This kid. My kid. My fine young man.

more problems than it solved, when a third gave him terrible nightmares. Without meds, focusing could be tough for this kid. If something interested him, fine. If it didn’t? Getting him to concentrate was like trying to thread a needle in a whitewater raft. But this kid was also stubborn . Surprisingly, if something didn’t interest him, he didn’t dismiss it. He’d chip away at and come back to it for as long as he could. He repeated algebra twice, but passed. He retook countless tests, but he passed. He never gave up, never threw in the towel. Rarely got frustrated, actually. Maybe those involuntary shoulder shrugs were indicative of a steel will, a resolve that would find the impediments of adversity... eh, unimpressive. There were teachers along the way, too. Teachers who saw someone a little different, but instead of trying to sand his anomalies away, polished them, and made them shine. Harvey. O’Conner. Caulkins. Silva. They encouraged him to grab onto those things he was interested in and let the other stuff take care of itself. And as he did that? This kid blossomed. He built three guitars in eighth grade, was a certified scuba diver at 15, and became a lifeguard at 17. He helped found a mountain bike team at his high school. He spent his senior year in the ROP firefighting program. He’s a sensitive and expressive writer. Loves history. He has friends and a girlfriend, and sometimes still helps around the house— although his room is probably eligible for disaster relief funds. This month, this kid will graduate. He did well in subjects he liked and well enough in subjects he didn’t. That’s fine by me, because more than a precious GPA, this is a kid who knows where he wants to go, has the self-confidence and drive to get there, and, still quick with that jack-o’-lantern grin, possesses a joie de vivre that some people never find in decades of living.

taste GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH SPANISH-STYLE GARLIC SHRIMP

• 1 pork tenderloin, about 12 oz. • 12 cloves garlic, peeled • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for garnish • 1/4 cup sherry • 4 tsp. kosher salt • 1 tsp. ground black pepper • 1/4 cup sherry vinegar • 2 tbsp. smoked paprika • 16 jumbo shrimp (21–25 count), tails on, peeled and deveined, about 12 oz. • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish Remove and discard the silver skin from the tenderloin. Thinly slice 8 cloves of the garlic and combine with 1/4 cup of the olive oil, sherry, 2 teaspoons of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper in a quart-size, zip-top bag. Add the tenderloin and marinate in the refrigerator overnight. Finely chop the remaining 4 cloves garlic and combine in a small bowl with remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 teaspoons of salt, half teaspoon of pepper, sherry vinegar, and smoked paprika. Refrigerate overnight. Heat a grill over medium-high heat or a grill pan over high heat. Divide the garlic-paprika sauce in half. Arrange 8 shrimp in a line, all facing the same direction and, using 2 skewers, skewer through the shrimp on each end so they will stay flat and are easy to flip on the grill. Repeat with the remaining shrimp. Slather both sides of the shrimp with one-half of the garlicpaprika sauce and let marinate while the pork is cooking. Remove the tenderloin from the marinade, and discard the marinade. Pat the pork dry and grill until nicely charred, about 3 minutes per side, for

dinner date Food and Beer for the Season a total of 12 minutes. The pork should reach 145 degrees for medium rare. If your tenderloin is larger than the 12 ounces, you may need to finish cooking it on a cooler part of the grill for about 5 minutes. Place on a plate and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm; the carryover cooking will bring it to just the right temperature. Arrange the shrimp so there’s a little space between them on the skewers. Add the shrimp to the grill and cook for about 45 seconds, then flip and grill for another 45 seconds. Continue flipping and grilling for a total of 3 minutes cooking time. You don’t want to char the shrimp, hence the flip-and-grill method. When the shrimp are done, they’ll be opaque; they cook fast, so watch carefully. When they come off the grill, slather them with more of the garlic-paprika sauce. Transfer the tenderloin to a cutting board, reserve the juices, and slice on the bias. Pour the reserved juices into the remaining garlic-paprika sauce and stir to combine. Arrange the tenderloin on plates, top with the shrimp, and drizzle with the sauce and some additional olive oil; sprinkle on some torn basil leaves. Serves 4.

GUINNESS BLONDE AMERICAN LAGER Lager lovers, rejoice! Guinness, known for producing Ireland’s dark velvety “meal in a glass” extra stout, recently launched a significantly lighter, blonder version of itself in a bid to try and appeal to American palates. This crisp, amber beer clocks in at five-percent alcohol-by-volume and has a floral, hoppy aroma—thanks to a combination of Mosaic, Willamette and Mount Hood hops, plus the world-famous 125-year-old Guinness yeast— resulting in a much smoother and less bitter brew than traditional Guinness draught. The crisp and refreshing, medium-bodied beer pairs perfectly with this month’s Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Spanish-Style Garlic Shrimp. —Richard Righton, Owner, 36 Handles Pub & Eatery

Pure Pork Awesomeness by Kevin Gillespie with David Joachim (Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2015, $29.99)

1 / Morgan Booth, 17, Citrus Heights Author of seven full-length novels in print and in the form of e-books, Morgan Booth is an established author in the genre of “anthropomorphic” fiction, where the characters in her stories are animals that speak with human voices. Not only has she authored the books, but she also created the illustrations for them. “I’ve always loved animals and had a talent for writing since I was little,” she says. And when her first book was printed, she was elated. “Holding the first printed copy of my first published book (The Last Winter) felt like Christmas!” she reminisces. Her tales range from orphaned puppies and wolf hybrids to legends of big cats and endless winters. With Booth’s passion for animals, it should come as no surprise that she interns at the Placer SPCA and plans to become a veterinarian. With a GPA of 4.0, it’s clear she’s on the right path. Booth is set to pursue her future and with a keen sense of purpose. “Knowing that I am doing

Local Youth Raising the Bar

By Rachel Meeker and Tara Mendanha

2 / Cole McCune Thompson, 17, Folsom

A future Harvard graduate, Cole Thompson has much to be proud of. He set the state record for single season touchdown receptions (34), and helped his team, the Folsom Bulldogs, win the Division 1 state championship. “Winning a state championship with guys I’ve been playing with for 10 years” was a memorable moment for Thompson. That’s not all—he works equally hard off the field as he does on it, earning himself a GPA of 4.27 at Folsom High School, being part of the student government, and becoming a National Football Foundation Scholar Athlete. Throw in his hobbies of playing the piano and drums and his involvement with Bayside Church of Folsom, and you’ve got an all-rounder. But Thompson thinks otherwise. “I’m a jack of all trades and master of none,” he claims. Having played football since elementary school, he’s experienced when it comes to hard work and determination, and has this advice to offer, “Treat your future self as someone you want to please. Put in the hard work now to make it easier on them.”—TM

3 / Naguib Abduila, 11, Rancho Cordova

Naguib Abduila is a rock star student with As in all his classes. He also enjoys playing baseball, basketball, volleyball and soccer (his soccer team, Sac United, recently won the State Cup in their U13 division). His favorite part about playing sports is “[getting to know] new people” and developing teamwork. His soccer game is so advanced that he plays in the U13 division when most kids his age are playing in the U12 division. Achieving a perfect GPA is a difficult feat for most students, and when asked where his favorite place to study is, Abduila says, “My room—I like to listen to music.” Not only is this 11-year-old skilled in the classroom and on the soccer field, but he spends quite a bit of time doing volunteer work and particularly enjoys helping at hospitals. It’s no surprise that his advice to the under-20 community is to “never give up on your dreams, do well in education and play sports,” considering the words of wisdom he lives by are “study and stay focused on education.”—RM

(Friends Offering Respect Creating Empowerment). According to the 16-year-old, “ATOU provides disability-awareness programs designed to educate a new generation to understand the challenges associated with disabilities and to accept and respect all individuals. It’s comprised of people with and without disabilities working together as a team.” She has risen to president of the club and also manages two high schools’ clubs on different campuses. What’s more, Pirnik volunteers with Special Olympics. She says because of her Aunt Sara who deals with mental disabilities, she always knew she wanted to work with those less understood and accepted. When she’s not in any of her leadership roles, Pirnik enjoys hanging out with her friends, shopping, playing miniature golf and going to the movies. She admits, “Pretty much everything we do involves eating as well.” A piece of advice she claims has helped her

is to not avoid things she fears. With that in mind, she auditioned for her school’s show choir, a glee club of sorts, and she now enjoys performing—something she thought she could never do. When asked what advice she would give to the under-20 community, she says, “Don’t be afraid to try new things—especially the ones that may make you uncomfortable at first!”—RM

5 / Brandon Alpert, 18, Granite Bay Brandon Alpert has a heart for giving back to his community, as he achieved Eagle Scout status at age 15, works with the leaders at Koinonia Family Services, assists with food drives for Wellspring Giving Tree, mentors younger lacrosse and trumpet players, volunteers at Jesuit High School events, serves as a Big Brother, and helped build homes for people recovering from Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. His favorite part of giving back to his community is “seeing who is impacted by my effort.” When talking about his experience in New Orleans, he says: “It was a lot of hard work rebuilding housing for people to move into in the Saint Bernard Parish. It was good knowing our work would eventually help many families later on.” In addition to community service, Alpert does a lot of photography for Jesuit and produces school videos, plays soccer and lacrosse, and serves on Jesuit’s Executive Council. With such a crazy schedule, Alpert makes sure he uses his time efficiently by studying with teammates before practice. One of his favorite pieces of advice is, “Be true to yourself, don’t hurry your life, and stay creative.”—RM

Jonny Lyda has a bright future ahead, as he keeps good grades in school, plays first chair saxophone on the Folsom Middle School Jazz Band and plays lacrosse. In addition to the saxophone, Lyda plays the flute, piano and guitar. When asked what additional instruments he wants to learn, he says: “I do want to learn more about guitar and also learn vocals.” He started playing lacrosse after a couple of friends told him he should try it. He enjoys the sport, but also really enjoys playing soccer—an activity he pursues because he was told he should “get out of [his] comfort zone and experience new things.” This is the same advice he would give to anyone under 20. Other than music and sports, Lyda enjoys photography, but has plans of being involved in music or science in the future.—RM

Now an expert in caring for animals, she provides pet sitting and behavioral training for pets in the area. At home, Marini cares for a filly who was born last summer. “I’ve always enjoyed working with animals...and I am spontaneous and adventurous with my guide dog by my side,” she says.—TM

Admitting that she may spend “as many as 30 hours a week studying and completing homework outside of school,” it’s no mystery why Kimberly Gledhill has over a 4.0 GPA. When not studying, she can be found at Chick-fil-A dressed in the iconic cow suit. Even though she really enjoys her job, she also takes pride in coaching a youth girls’ softball team and helping inner city youth. Of coaching and volunteering, she says: “I may teach a girl to pitch a softball or help a third grader with his spelling, but those kids teach me far more than I could ever teach them, and for that I am so grateful.” Gledhill credits the support of mentors she’s had throughout the years for her success and advises the under-20 community to “find somebody older than you who you care about and trust, and start talking to them. Don’t be afraid to ask for advice or help.” Gledhill is also the president of the Speech and Debate Club at Vista Del Lago High School and mentors a group of middle school students. After she graduates, this over-achiever aspires to get an advanced college degree and go into social work as a child advocate.—RM

She says one of her favorite parts of Girl Scouts is “working with friends on projects that directly benefit the community.” She recalls one of her favorite projects, “A few years ago we helped plant and cultivate a community farm in Granite Bay, and all of the fresh vegetables were donated to the [local] food bank.” When asked what most people don’t realize about marching band, she responds: “Most people definitely underestimate the physical strength that marching band requires— [you have to] be able to play music very loudly, while marching at sometimes up to 200-beats-per-minute.” Marching band has taught her great teamwork skills, too, as “everyone must be extremely focused in order to create the correct shapes on the field while maintaining cohesive music.” Her love of music helps keep her focused when she studies, especially listening to Mozart when doing math. To help break up a long night of studying, she will often go for a walk or run. She recommends the under-20 community to “seize every opportunity to challenge and learn about something outside themselves—volunteer as often as possible, take a class that sounds difficult, and sign up for programs you would never imagine yourself participating in.”—RM

10 / Sarah Peterson, 17, Rocklin Sarah Peterson’s proudest achievement thus far has been her mission trip to Kerala, India, in order to build a school that serves 500 children. “I wasn’t just able to serve people, I was able to see myself grow in trust and love,” says this insightful Rocklin teen. Her need to assist has also taken her to the Dominican Republic where she served as a Spanish translator for medical personnel. For these accomplishments and more, Peterson won the Forman Award at her school, John Adams Academy, for exemplifying core values and the mission of the school. In addition, she also serves as the scholar body president and is the varsity volleyball captain. When she’s not playing the piano or babysitting, she’s tutoring a ninth grader in English and history. She’s also helped pack food for the nonprofit Feed My Starving Children, and organized school-wide service projects like a pajama drive at Christmas. “I work hard to accomplish my dreams and do

11 / Demetria (Demi) Whisenhunt, 18, El Dorado Hills Demi Whisenhunt is a senior at Oak Ridge High School and has achieved a 4.0 GPA. She enjoys helping at homeless shelters as well as animal shelters, churches and other organizations in the community. What’s more, she was invited to attend the National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists in Washington, D.C. last November and received an award from the academy at the conference. Upon her invitation to attend, Whisenhunt admits, “In all honesty, I thought it was a joke. [I couldn’t believe that] I was chosen to attend.” One of her favorite parts of the experience was watching a live surgery. Whisenhunt says, “Being in a room with fellow peers from across the nation that had the same passion as me was absolutely life-changing.” She has plans to further her education in medicine with an interest in emergency treatment and recognizes that other jobs offer flexible hours, less schooling and travel, but she believes the ability to save lives outweighs all of the benefits of different career paths. One piece of advice that has influenced her and that she believes is important for others to hear is to live each day like it’s your first— in other words, live every day in awe and wonder at what’s around you, as if it’s your first experience with everything.—RM

Andrew Wilson has been playing lead roles in the theater since he was nine years old, but first fell in love with performing at the age of four when he saw The Nutcracker. He says, “Seeing all of the performers and hearing all the music completely captivated me—I was hooked and couldn’t stop dancing.” Of the countless shows he has performed in, Singin’ in the Rain is his favorite. “It is one of the most iconic Hollywood musicals. Plus, I’ve always wanted to play the role Gene Kelley created. There’s great singing, great dancing, and you get to splash in a lot of puddles.” Kelley is one of the many actors Wilson has been inspired by over the years. Among his other favorites are Fred Astaire, Kenneth Branagh, Hugh Jackman, Meryl Streep and Kate Blanchette. The 19-year-old finds his motivation from knowing he is making a difference. “When I know I have touched an audience, that keeps me going despite all adversity.” After committing 11 years to the performing arts, Wilson has plans to pursue his passion as a full-time professional performer. His advice to the under-20 community is: “If you have a dream, follow it. Most dreams fail because someone gave up, not because it was impossible.”—RM

Clay is also an accomplished contemporary dancer and has been dancing ever since she was two years old. She now belongs to two competitive dance troupes and competes statewide.

15 / Neilson Powless, 18, Roseville Neilson Powless spends his time traveling the world with the USA Cycling team. He is one of the top mountain bikers in the country, but also trains for road cycling with the U.S. team in Europe. He was gradually introduced to the sport as a child and says he “tried almost every sport under the sun—from boxing to swim team—but always seemed to do best with endurance sports like cross-country and triathlons.” Powless finished his junior year of high school with an eighth place finish in D2 State Championships for cross-country running and first started racing with the USA Mountain Biking team before making the transition to road cycling, which is what he currently does. When not cycling, Powless says he can be found “eating, sleeping or trying to recover for the next race, which is the next day most of the time.” When he is home, he tries to hang out with friends as much as possible or watch Netflix. His favorite cyclist is Greg LeMond, as he is still the only American to ever win the Tour de France now that Lance Armstrong and Floyd Landis have been stripped of their titles. His advice to the under-20 community is: “Find something you love to do, and devote yourself completely to whatever that thing is.”—RM

Cynthia Besson Founder LHT Revolution Weight Loss Centers Author “Leaner Healthier Teen Revolution” 6891 Douglas Blvd. | Granite Bay 800-528-0926 | www.LHTRevolution.com Watching my mother die of diabetes at the age of 38 (I was only 18 at the time) made a great impression on me. I made a decision that very day that I would NEVER get diabetes, and that I would help other families so they would not suffer the same loss. I attended college for nursing and quickly learned that I had a passion for nutrition and wellness. Having had a weight problem myself as a teen, I found myself pulled towards the weight loss industry. Now, 30 years later, I have worked with most of the giants in the industry, helped literally thousands of men, women and children lose weight and most recently achieved my lifelong dream of creating my own weight loss franchise. Even though I have been blessed to have achieved many of my own personal goals, (I was featured in “TIME” magazine and took a company public), my journey as a new franchisor (founder) hasn’t been easy. However, now that I’m at the finish line (or the starting line, whichever way you see it), it has certainly been one of my greatest accomplishments. There are only a small percentage of women franchisors in the industry and because of that, I wanted to be an example to other women that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to (including losing weight or owning their own business) if they find their passion, dream big enough, and never EVER give up!

program that incorporated home-cooked meals, planned outings and structured daily activities that engaged the children and fostered learning.

My journey began after I was left disappointed in my search for “the right" childcare for my son, who is now a senior in high school. After going through five different programs and with my daughter on the way, who is now going to be a sophomore in high school, I began reflecting upon my family’s needs. It was then that I decided to change my career focus and venture into childcare. My mission then, and now, is to provide a nurturing, loving, safe and educational environment for every child.

In 2010, I expanded my business and moved to a large building on an acre in El Dorado Hills. It’s been a dream to serve so many children and give families the satisfaction I never felt when my son was in daycare. I pride myself in providing a safe place for children to come to.

On June 10, 2000, I opened my home to three newborns, two 2-yearolds and a 3-year-old. I immediately knew that this was my calling— everything felt natural. I went back to school and started a preschool

Currently I have 30 wonderful, loving, professional teachers and over 200 children where we provide care for infants, preschoolers, private kindergarteners, and school agers.

We work together on communicating with parents and developing each child's individual needs. It delights me that so many children have the opportunity to experience our program.

Old-Fashioned Decadence with a Contemporary Kick by Jennifer Resnicke Photography by Dante Fontana Seared Diver Scallops

ituated in the same shopping center as the celebrated Paul Martin’s on Eureka Road is the newly opened Cibo 7 Ristorante Wine Bar & Spirits, featuring European-inspired food and an impressively lengthy wine list. As my husband and I walked up, we couldn’t help but notice the cozy patio seating, which looks like the perfect spot to enjoy not only the spring breeze but some conversation and a Sangiovese, too. We opted to settle inside on this trip, at a generous table draped in a stylish black tablecloth with deep red napkins. The restaurant is shrouded in dark tones and rich wood (think ornately carved mirrors and elegant high-backed black leather chairs), with crystal chandeliers and pale-red brick walls evoking an old-fashioned decadence. The staff was attentive and friendly; we realized just how perceptive they were when our waiter dropped by and mentioned that the owner noticed we’d skipped the wine list—and said if there was something we’d like to try, it was on the house. We started with the perfectly bubbly and chewy house-made flat bread, which was topped with a layer of crispy manchego cheese, tart pickled red onions, rich chorizo, fresh cilantro and a delicious saffron crema. Maybe it’s because I’m Italian, but I couldn’t help but order the

ultra-soft, house-made sage gnocchi. The dish came to the table in an individual cast iron skillet—the presentation just as warm and hearty as the tender Mary’s Free Range chicken coq au vin, bacon confit, earthy oyster mushrooms and delectable and dusky coq au vin jus. My husband opted for the pan-rendered Muscovy duck breast, served with creamy Grass Valley white polenta, chorizo-braised collard greens from Tin Roof Farm in Loomis and a vibrant blood orange-chipotle glace. The dessert menu came out next, and along with our French-pressed coffee, we tried “breakfast for dessert”—cornbread seared in a cast iron pan just enough to crisp the edges (the slight caramelization was perfect), with a generous scoop of faintly tart but über creamy buttermilk ice cream and a chewy piece of brown-sugar candied bacon. It was so good that I’ve been craving “breakfast for dessert” for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert ever since. Editor’s note: Since the writer’s visit to Cibo 7, the menu has switched over to their spring offerings, which include the pictured Seared Diver Scallops and Formage Blanc Agnalotti.

Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you? The idea for Hello! Bliss Box came to me as I was at the mall one day. How is it possible I come to find something for myself (a shirt or something pretty) yet leave with something for my kids every time? I decided I needed a special treat that’s just for me—a gift package at my doorstep sure would be blissful! How are you involved with both the community and your customer? We are heavy into social media, and I love getting my customer’s feedback on a product we are thinking of featuring in upcoming Bliss Boxes. I enjoy letting them vote on the color or scent we put in the boxes. After all, their bliss is important to me and I want them to be happy every month. Why is your staff the best in the business? My staff is my family. It doesn’t get much better than that. My husband helps package and ship, my kids get to test out new products with me, and my two-yearold really enjoys spreading our tissue and Bliss Box filler all over the room (now that’s an important job!). Where do you go when the going gets tough? I throw my earbuds on, blast the music and go for a long run. Surprisingly, I feel much better when I return—almost rejuvenated. What’s your biggest job perk? Aside from being able to run Hello! Bliss Box at home with my kids, I get to seek out so many wonderful product lines and meet the masterminds behind them. Many of our items are handmade by talented moms. Where do you and your family go locally to have fun? We enjoy doing family bowling nights at Strikes in Rocklin. It’s great bonding time. And finally, customer service is…? Number one. It will make or break your reputation—plus, when Mama’s happy, everyone’s happy!

Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you? Massage found us. We love what we do and couldn’t imagine going back to the monotonous office and sales jobs we previously held. How are you involved with both the community and your customer? We have participated in the yearly Getty Owl Run/Walk by offering chair massage to participants. In 2014, we offered chair massage to the DSIA (Down Syndrome Information Alliance) and donated all proceeds raised to the organization. We love helping our community in any way we can, and volunteering is our favorite way to give back! Why is your staff the best in the business? Our passion is to give clients the best experience available by being state licensed, staying on top of the latest techniques, and continuing our education when/as needed. What life accomplishments are you most proud of? Going back to school so late in life, earning an associate of arts degree in massage therapy, and building a successful business with certified massage therapists who have the drive and passion to help one person at a time realize the healing effects of massage therapy. What’s your biggest job perk? Watching a client come into our office in pain and seeing them leave with a smile—knowing they can get back to doing what they most enjoy in life! Where do you and your family go locally to have fun? We love country music, so whenever there’s a country concert, or when the Folsom Rodeo comes to town, we’re there! If you could be in any other profession, what would it be? Kerri would like to open up her own bakery one day; Angella would be an author. And finally, customer service is…? The key ingredient to what we do. We have to listen before, during, and after each session to ensure we have met and, hopefully, exceeded your expectations.

“Don’t let the absence of butter and eggs fool you—the Vegan Donuts at Whole Foods— which come in a variety of flavors (all equally sweet and scrumptious)—are as decadent as any other donut. I’m not sure what the magic ingredients are, but they work in a wondrous way!” wholefoodsmarket.com

“The Classic Glazed Donuts at Bill’s Donuts are warm and airy upon first bite, followed by dough that seems to melt in your mouth. No matter what your go-to flavor is, Bill’s makes it yummy and delicate.” 916-791-1086

“Although known for their all-youcan-eat sushi, I would pay just to eat the Sugar Donuts at Raku Sushi. Each one is about the size of your palm and madeto-order, so they come out hot with a slight crunch and fluffy center.” rakurestaurant. com

“Holy donuts! I can’t get enough of the Vanilla Sprinkle Donuts at Jasmine Donuts. The dough is nice and cakey with a welcoming hint of floral, while the showering of sprinkles makes me feel like a kid again. They oftentimes throw in a few complimentary donut holes, too!” 916-632-2740

“The Crumb Donuts at Manley Donuts will make you feel like you’ve died and gone to donut heaven! The buttery, cinnamon-sugary covering and moist center is good to the last crumb.” 916-781-2411
