Q&A Q: What advice would you give to your younger self? A: You can’t please all of the people, all of the time—concentrate your love, energy and efforts on people who will like you back! Q: Are you high or low maintenance? A: My husband would say I’m very high maintenance, but worth it!
Q: Best words of wisdom you’ve received? A: “Kill ‘em with kindness!”—Elaine LaLanne
Drisha Leggitt D risha Leggitt was working in public relations the day eight-yearold Nicolas Come came into her life. She agreed to the meeting reluctantly, well aware of the obstacles facing such a young entrepreneur. “He walked up to me and said, ‘Hi, I’m Nicolas Come. Let me tell you about my company,” Leggitt recalls. Impressed by Nicolas’ pitch, Leggitt agreed to take him on as a client—for a retainer of one dollar. Nicolas’ Garden (nicolasgarden.com), a healthy eating app aimed at kids, went on to huge success, and Leggitt is proud to have had a small role in helping a brilliant kid like Nicolas reach success. She continues to work with him to bring national attention to his cause. After a long and successful career in public relations—she was named one of the “Top Women in PR” and the “Influencer of the Year” by the Public 10 stylergbr.com - July 2015
Relations Society of America—Leggitt recently moved on to become the new vice president of U.S. business development for Anpac Biomedical Science Company, an organization that has pioneered early cancer diagnosis technology. As a survivor of stage 4 Hodgkin’s disease, it’s a cause near and dear to Leggitt’s heart. Now in remission for over two decades, she spends her free time volunteering with numerous community organizations, including Eppie’s Great Race, which takes place this month on July 18 and supports Sacramento County Therapeutic Recreation Services; and Leggitt is a board member for the California Museum. For Leggitt, giving back is simply about paying it forward. “Not everybody is given a second chance,” she shares. “I have to assume that God and the universe weren’t ready for me yet.” — Amber Foster

Get Your ’80s On
uly is National Parks and Recreation Month, and 2015 marks the 30th year that Congress has acknowledged their enduring importance. From the start, parks were created to serve the community and give residents a place to appreciate nature, exercise, socialize and have fun. Since this national celebration started in 1985, we challenge you to get gnarly and celebrate ’80s style! Snap a photo of your Jane Fonda-style aerobics routine in one of the 72 parks—complete with your leg warmers and headbands. Crimp your hair and go for a ride down a slide; rock some brightly colored zinc oxide at one of the three pools; put on the dolphin shorts during your open space stroll; or keep it simple by sporting your wayfarers while hitting the links at one of the two golf courses. Show us your ’80s-style celebration of all things parks and recreation and get entered into a prize drawing by emailing your photo to parksandrec@roseville. ca.us or sharing them on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag #radrosevilleparks. See you at the park! — Pam Allen For more information about Roseville Parks and Recreation, visit roseville.ca.us/ parks.

What’s in Season: Summer Squash
ask the expert Q: What are the benefits of afterschool programs?
A: After-school activities help children develop social skills, support academic achievement, and help them build strong, supportive relationships with adults other than their parents. Curriculums in after-school programs are meant to make learning more enjoyable. Children are able to explore and learn things about themselves and their environment through hands-on, fun activities. After-school programs help children gain skills to build better relationships with their peers as well. Not only does an after-school program keep your child safe, but it also furthers their growth for the future. Krista Brian, Director Knowledge Tree Children’s Academy 1100 Sunset Boulevard, Rocklin 916-435-9382 knowledgetreekids.com

SELECTION AND STORAGE When purchasing summer squash, produce experts advise looking for ones that are shiny, unblemished and heavy for their size. The best picks are those without hard rinds, since they’re not too mature, and would otherwise tend to have hard seeds and stringy flesh. Bigger is not better when it comes to buying them either; the extra large squash can be fibrous, while at the same time, extra small squash can be lacking in flavor. While they may not appear to be delicate, summer squash is very fragile and should always be handled with care, as the skin is easily punctured. It’s best to store them unwashed in an airtight container in the refrigerator for no more than seven days. While it’s usually not advisable to freeze squash, as it can make it too soft, freezing is considered a good FOR THE RECIPE alternative if you find yourself with excess quantities. TO MAKE GRILLED — Susan Belknap SUMMER SQUASH SALAD WITH HERB For details on where to buy Placer County farm-fresh produce, PESTO VINAIGRETTE, wine, meat and local products, visit placergrown.org. VISIT STYLERGBR.COM. 14 stylergbr.com - July 2015
DID YOU KNOW? While its name might mislead you to think it’s only available a few months during the year, summer squash merely has a shorter shelf life than winter squash. The main types of summer squash include zucchini, pattypan, straightneck and crookneck. All parts of these types of squash are edible, including the flesh, seeds and skin. Some varieties of squash even produce edible flowers!

or many people, grilling and summer are synonymous, and while a good steak is hard to beat, grilled vegetables can be just as delicious. The key is to start with a great recipe, like grilled summer squash salad with herb pesto vinaigrette. Mixed with tomatoes, chopped basil, walnuts and Parmesan cheese, this recipe is the perfect way to showcase the bounty of summer squash that’s available in local farmers’ markets throughout the summer. But summer squash isn’t only delicious in the recipe mentioned above, it’s also tasty sprinkled on top of salads, in sandwiches, eaten raw with your favorite dips, or in a summer harvest ratatouille alongside onions, bell peppers, eggplant and tomatoes then simmered in a tomato sauce. Its delicate flavor and creamy flesh can be a lovely addition to many summer meals.

Sparkles Ice Cream & Yogurt
f you’re looking for a whimsically trendy, family-friendly ice cream shop that also happens to be named after an adorable squirrel, you have oddly specific taste. But you’re also in luck, because Sparkles Ice Cream & Yogurt has just burst onto the Granite Bay scene. Charmingly named after owner Keith’s pet rescue squirrel, he and his co-partner, Paul, have turned the traditional ice cream shop on its head by freezing your treat right in front of you—essentially dessert and a show! On the wall behind the counter loom two massive chalkboard lists of flavors and add-on ingredients— from candy to cereal—giving customers like me the chance to flex their mad ice cream scientist imaginations. Using a huge vat of liquid nitrogen, I watched Paul make my Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream with Reese’s Chunks, the bowl overflowing with spooky smoke while he melded my creation together. It was a rare sight, and I’m not just talking about the steaming concoction—both Keith and Paul were having as much fun behind the counter as I was watching! It was a breath of fresh air and made me feel like a kid again. Sparkles Ice Cream & Yogurt, 5550 Douglas Boulevard, Suite 150, Granite Bay. 916-826-8889, sparklesicecream.com. — Adrianna Valencia

According to the plaque that now stands in the spot, Barter’s body was found a mile away the next day. Three years prior, Rattlesnake Dick and his gang stole $80,000 in gold bullion from a stagecoach caravan outside Nevada City. Legend says they buried half the loot in the mountains; lawmen found the other half, but the buried loot reportedly remains in “them thar hills” to this day.

The year when railroad activity halted completely (in July) due to a general railroad worker strike, which later became known as the Pullman Strike. A Pullman car train from San Francisco was completely halted in Rocklin and passengers were forced to make their way home on foot.

employer. Little did I know that the aircraft would burst into flames on takeoff! While evacuating over 280 passengers from a burning aircraft, I thought of survival and what the rest of my life would be like. I was enthralled by the beautiful reflections on the movie screen from the fire flames on the airplane wings. “It’s like a sunset,” I thought. After many months of post-traumatic stress therapy, I discovered that I’d been an artist all my life. Everyone should be so fortunate to be given the permission to be who he or she is.

HLB: What about calligraphy enticed you? CF: One has to be centered and focused to do calligraphy—a steady hand and a tremendous amount of concentration are necessary. It’s through calligraphy that I allowed myself to have the confidence to paint.

ten—why’s that? CF: I’m [currently] drawn to abstract expressionism. A good abstract can be hung in any direction, therefore lettering is out of place (unless you like to read upside down or sideways). As I paint, I attempt to communicate emotion with colors and shapes. I work intuitively; as I work the painting tells me (if I listen carefully) what to do next. Artists know there is a “brain critic” that needs to be silenced during this process. Jenny

HLB: What do your themes of courage, journeys and listening represent? CF: My themes are a result of my life stories and my persistent pursuit of truths. I’ve had some unusual events occur in my life— the Nellie Granger Award was bestowed on me for bravery, which is something I never would have imagined. Every painting takes courage.
CF: Please know, young ones, that what we do matters tremendously. We are the catalyst HLB: Why are you drawn to warm, vibrant colors? CF: In my mind, reds and yellows represent freedom, summer vacation and a celebratory dance. When I work in blues and greens, it’s because I have committed to a series to stretch myself. My life is more of a red-yellow palette; maybe it was the sunset I saw in the fire flames.

financial feuds Managing Marriage and Money
D
on’t let money matters be the demise of your relationship. Read on for advice about overcoming the dollars-and-cents battle from this month’s relationship expert.
evenly where each partner gets an “allowance” of fun money to spend how he or she wishes. The benefit and disadvantage is the same: Each person has total autonomy. Once the pot has been split, save vetoes for matters of conscience only. A third option is a family vote, which can be a great learning experience for children. To help simplify the process, provide a list of options such as household upgrades, family vacations or new toy splurges. Depending on your kids’ ages, their involvement will vary but may include helping to create budgets, researching alternatives or making family presentations before the vote. This provides ample opportunities for learning and a sense of communal investment. In all cases, the theme is clear— the money is not any one person’s. Spending money against the other’s wishes is a breeding ground for resentment. Once the money is gone, it takes a great deal of repair work to heal the relationship. Each one of you is a valuable and contributing member to the success you’re enjoying, so the solution should be found the same way your success was found: together.
Q: My partner and I fight constantly about money. Recently, he made a “fun purchase.” We can afford it, but I want to spend money other ways. He says he’s the primary wage earner and is allowed to make whatever purchases he wants. His rationale infuriates me, and I’m getting tired of the “breadwinner” thing. How can we solve this? A: You’re in good company! Money is a common source of fights; in fact, more than half of the couples in my office name it as a major source of tension in their relationship. Rather than discussing a particular purchase, however, let’s address the bigger picture with these two questions: How should you handle discretionary spending for your family? and What is each person’s role in the decision? The answers form a baseline of how you and your partner interact with the finances, and make subsequent money issues more easily solved. The approach I typically use with my couples—when it comes to discretionary spending—is pretty clear-cut: The money is treated as the property of both partners. This is more than fair; it’s also wise, as a respected partner will work harder to contribute to the overall success of the plan. Denying a partner financial freedom or input will lead to a stalemate. For some, this means the decision is 26 stylergbr.com - July 2015

best made jointly. Couples might enjoy the process of dreaming together and narrowing down their lists. This can even be fun and turn into a bonding experience. Studies have shown that the process of anticipation is as enjoyable as the splurge itself. In the case of different interests, this joint-decision approach might not work. Instead, consider splitting the money

advocating for all Understanding IEPs by Kristen Castillo
The child will be reevaluated every three years, unless the parent or teacher requests more frequent evaluations. Parents should note that they don’t have to sign anything they’re not comfortable with; once you sign, it becomes a legal document. “An IEP supports students with exceptional needs and benefits the student through ongoing progress monitoring,” says Debbie Morris, director of student services at Roseville City School District, noting “only about 10 percent of a district’s overall population qualify for IEPs, though many more students need additional support.”
Be an advocate Sue appreciates the value of integrating special needs kids into traditional classes. “My son loves being around [general ed] kids,” she says, noting Owen spends a quar-
What is an IEP? IEPs are part of the government-regulated Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and their purpose is to design and implement individualized educational plans for students, ages three to 21 who have a disability, as defined under IDEA. A truly successful IEP involves the support of students, parents, teachers, administrators and school staff. “The plan helps address the unique needs of each child so that families and the school can work together to create a road map that allows the student to be educated in general education to the maximum extent possible,” says Betty Jo Wessinger, director of SELPA and student TO READ “8 STEPS TO support services at Folsom Cordova Unified School District, explaining BETTER IEP MEETINGS: IEP goals include academic, social-emotional, behavioral and mental. PLAY HEARTS, NOT Teachers typically request an IEP evaluation with parents’ consent.

3 Things to Know When Your Child Needs an IEP 1 / It’s a Team Effort. Wessinger encourages parents to ask how they can help the IEP team understand the student’s “strengths, individual needs or hardships, and any health issues.”
2 / Share the Motivation. According to Wessinger, parents should discuss “what motivates their child, what has helped his or her progress, and what their hopes and dreams are for their student” with the IEP team.
3 / Persevere. Sue advises other parents to ask questions, observe in classrooms and be patient. “Don’t beat yourself up,” she says. “You’re doing the best you can…paving your own path.”

ight-year-old Owen Christensen, a third grader at William Brooks Elementary School in El Dorado Hills, has a mild to moderate intellectual delay but is thriving in the classroom. “He’s pretty easygoing and loves school,” says Owen’s mother, Sue, explaining her son was born with a loss of brain tissue and a bilateral cleft lip and palette. Owen, whose family includes his father Bob and brother, six-year-old Ian, has always received special education at school from individualized education programs, known as IEPs. Over the years, he’s had speech and occupational therapy, physical therapy and adaptive PE, in addition to his regular classroom education. “The hardest part about an IEP, for a parent, is it’s a learning process,” says Sue. “I feel like I find my own way.” While not every IEP situation over the years has been ideal (Owen has attended a few other schools), he’s doing well now. “It’s taken to third grade to see what works for Owen,” Sue says.

ollowing his mother’s death in 2011, Jon Jarman adopted an aging dog named Duke from a local shelter to ease the pain of his loss. Mrs. Jarman had spent her final days in a nursing home—an environment her son describes as cold, sterile and devoid of enriching activities. “It was an awful experience for her,” he recalls. “Because of her memory, I wanted to give some of myself [and] help people in care facilities to smile for just a little while.” With Duke in tow, Jarman began visiting area senior care facilities and in time, attained certification from Love on a Leash (LOAL), the Foundation for Pet Provided Therapy. Based in Southern California, the nonprofit was founded in 1984 by Liz Palika, an award-winning author and canine obedience instructor who introduced the concept of pet therapy to San Diego County residents in the early ’80s. Today, the organization has more than 1,900 certified members serving chapters throughout the U.S. In order to start a chapter of his own, Jarman needed just one additional
member to join the cause. In January 2013, after more than a year spent searching for support, Gold Country Love on a Leash (GCLOAL) was born. Since that time, the group has grown to include over 40 volunteers serving nearly a dozen facilities throughout Placer County. Colleen Magda is the life enrichment director at Auburn’s Sierra Ridge Memory Care and says she’s profoundly grateful for GCLOAL’s weekly visits. “Our residents recognize the dogs and the owners as friends,” she explains. Not only do the dogs bring back memories of past pets, [but] the owners take time to visit and reminisce with our residents and allow their animals to be petted and spoiled, which is very beneficial since the interaction helps residents to calm down and enjoy that moment. Since our residents reside in the community full-time, it brings them a feeling of normalcy.” Following months of training and supervised visits, Robert Pierce and his dog Aaleayha joined GCLOAL in February. The past five months, he says, have been transformative for both dog and owner. “I find that I am anxiously anticipating
my next visit to these facilities because of the joy we bring,” Pierce shares. “As a pet therapy team, Aaleahya and I have put smiles on so many faces where hope seems lost, and they may or may not have family and friends visit them. I would ask those with pets to consider joining the organization and be a part of something wonderful.” In addition to their work with local assisted living and senior care facilities, Jarman’s team, which includes his spouse David, also provides therapy pets to boost confidence in children learning to read at the Placer County Library. “As with any volunteer group, it can get challenging juggling the operational side of the chapter with the visitation side,” David, GCLOAL’s treasurer, says. “I think the best our community can do for us is to encourage teens and young adults to become involved as pet-therapy teams if possible. Being unplugged and spending an hour a week with your pet in a warm and caring environment can do wonders.”

what’s hot? Summer Trend Watch by Kerrie L. Kelly, ASID
cially on condo and apartment decks where outdoor floor space can be especially tight.
3 / HURRICANE CANDLES Hurricane candles are this season’s most popular outdoor lighting solution, and are equally as prevalent among budget and luxury spaces. When grouped together on tables or lined up along the patio floor, hurricane candles are romantic and create a wonderful ambiance that can be enjoyed on any budget.
3 Fads to Replace 1 / TUSCAN COLORS Khakis or yellow-based neutrals are out, as well as anything muddy or Tuscan-themed. While these muted hues can bring warmth in moderation, they feel heavy and faux in outdoor spaces, which contrast with this season’s fresh, streamlined aesthetic. Expect to see a rise in citrus color options in outdoor fabrics, textures and materials, as homeowners move toward incorporating color in their patio spaces.
O
ur friends at Zillow Digs (of which I’m a member of their board of designers) recently announced the top three outdoor patio trends for 2015 and the three biggest fads headed out of style. See if you agree and if you’re willing to let go of the reported passé looks.
3 Outdoor Patio Trends Simplicity and elements of nature are the keys to a beautiful outdoor space this season. Fill your patio with pops of citrus, lowmaintenance greenery and soft romantic lighting, but stay away from trendy pat-
terned fabrics, blah beiges and intricate shabby chic furniture, which are now trends of the past.
1 / LIME GREEN ACCENT COLORS Lime green is the most popular accent color for summer 2015. Expect to see this fresh, natural hue manifest in a variety of materials and textures—from throw pillows and vases to outdoor umbrellas. A highly versatile statement color, lime green offers the perfect complement to outdoor greenery and pairs exceptionally well with other citrus tones, like tangerine and sunshine yellow.
Intricate, shabby chic patio sets are fading away as summer 2015 is all about simplicity and clean lines. Detailed wrought iron patio sets will be replaced with sleek outdoor sofas and loveseats adorned with pillows and throws in this summer’s hottest citrus colors. Outdoor spaces are becoming an extension of indoor living, so people will invest in long-lasting furniture that can weather both the seasons and changing fads.
3/EXCESSIVE PATTERNS People grow tired of busy patterns, so keep them to a minimum. Instead, add interest and texture with natural greenery and pops of citrus colors. Look for more solid color choices on pillows and throw blankets.

FASHION RULES TO BREAK
Photo by Dante Fontana.
“Break all the rules! Wear white year-round; mix patterns and textures; don’t match shoes, belts and handbags; wear your hair long and your skirts short after [you turn] 40; wear black and blue together or black and brown together; mix silver, gold and rose gold.”— Coleen Weeks, owner of Nevaeh Boutique, Spa & Salon, Roseville, nevaeh.com
Trixie Boutique
“As far as I’m concerned, fashion rules should always be broken. If you want to stand out, you need to be different. Throw out the rule that white ends after Labor Day and wear it all year—it makes you look clean and sleek. Mixing silver and gold jewelry together creates a cool look that is unique. Mixing black and blue outfits/colors together works well and adds some pizzazz to your style. July 2015 - stylergbr.com 37

Mix prints, as long as they’re in the same color family. Throw on a sequin top with a pair of jeans—sequins aren’t just for eveningwear anymore. Have fun and be open-minded about clothes. When you go into a dressing room, always take one item that is cute but not ‘you.’ You may surprise yourself!”—Marie Muscat and Dan Williams, owners of Reinvent Clothing Boutique and Consignment Shop, Roseville, reinventboutique.com “It’s OK to wear white before Memorial Day, and you don’t need to match your belt with your shoes.”—Robin Taylor, owner of Trixie Boutique, Rocklin, facebook. com/trixiebtq “Rules are meant to be broken. If you want to clash patterns, wear white after Labor Day, or pair something black and blue—go for it! We encourage people to be unique and embrace their personal style, because that’s how trends are started. If you decide to try pattern clashing and it isn’t you, don’t worry—you can always trade past pieces for new, fashionable finds. Don’t play by the book; create your own style!”—FreeStyle Clothing Exchange Team, Roseville, freestyleclothing. com
TIPS OF HIGHLY STYLISH PEOPLE “Always have vintage pieces in your closet that you can pull from. Be it an article of clothing, an accessory or a piece of jewelry—you can never go wrong wearing vintage items paired with newer (on trend) items.”—Angela McDonald, fashion marketing manager at Tadpoles Children’s Clothing Store, Roseville, shoptadpoles.com

“Get to know your tailor. Off the rack doesn’t always fit perfect; the most stylish people take a good piece and get it tailored—taking it from good to great. Add finishing touches to your outfit, like front tucking your shirt into your belt. Your top will drape better, your legs will be elongated, and it’s overall more flattering. Purchase high-impact pieces such as a great leather fringe handbag, a pair of ultra distressed denim jeans, a standout gold menswear watch, and oversized chic sunglasses. Be consistent with your salon appointments, and visit your esthetician! Brows and hair should always look like you just visited your neighborhood salon and spa.”—Coleen Weeks, owner of Nevaeh Boutique, Spa & Salon, Roseville, nevaeh. com
MUST-HAVE ITEMS EVERYONE NEEDS IN THEIR CLOSET
“For women, a classic white long sleeve buttondown shirt, a classic little black dress and a tailored suit. For men, a tailored suit, a casual belt (and a dressier one), pocket squares, nice ties and a tailored tuxedo. Every man, in my opinion, should own his own tuxedo.”—Angela McDonald, fashion marketing manager at Tadpoles Children’s Clothing Store, Roseville, shoptadpoles.com “A great wrap dress, timeless black leather jacket, the perfect pencil skirt, a crisp white buttondown, foldable ballet slippers, classic skinny jeans and a perfect white tee.”—Coleen Weeks, owner of Nevaeh Boutique, Spa & Salon, Roseville, nevaeh.com “A basic black blazer and a nice, crisp white tailored shirt; a few perfect fitting tees; also, every woman needs a pair of nude pumps (they make your legs look leaner and longer); and don’t forget Mom’s advice with the clean underwear.”— Marie Muscat and Dan Williams, owners of Reinvent Clothing Boutique and Consignment Shop, Roseville, reinvent-boutique.com “The little black dress!”—Robin Taylor, owner of Trixie Boutique, Rocklin, facebook.com/trixiebtq “Some of our favorite clothing items include a great pair of jeans, a designer bag, a tailored blazer, and the perfect little black dress that you can wear for any occasion.”—FreeStyle Clothing Exchange Team, Roseville, freestyleclothing.com

FASHION HABITS THAT MAKE YOU LOOK OLD

“A hairstyle where someone can look at you and know what decade that style came from, is a fashion ‘no no’ and should be updated. Also, wearing dated color palettes in makeup or too much makeup can make one look older.”—Angela McDonald, fashion marketing manager at Tadpoles Children’s Clothing Store, Roseville, shoptadpoles.com
“Wearing too many sequins, tops that are too low cut, silly graphic tees, zip-up hoodies (dressing too young), forgoing the tailor, over-plucking brows, wearing your hair too dark or too light (think skin tone), and streaky, high contrast highlights (go for blended).”—Coleen Weeks, owner of Nevaeh Boutique, Spa & Salon, Roseville, nevaeh.com “Mom jeans (jeans that are unflattering to your figure). Always go for a smaller stretch jean. There’s nothing worse than a baggy derriere. Blazers with big shoulder pads are also a definite no-no. Although styles will come back, you can always tell when something is old by the fabric, as fabrics change over the years. So if you have some old clothes in your closet—donate them. Always wear what is in style and fresh.”—Marie Muscat and Dan Williams, owners of Reinvent Clothing Boutique and Consignment Shop, Roseville, reinvent-boutique.com “When someone looks at you and thinks, ‘Gosh, I used to wear those!’ Think jeans from the ’80s, polo shirts with the collar turned up. Any outdated fashion makes you look old; stay with the current styles and you’ll forever look young.”—Jane Powell, co-founder of Designer Consigner, Granite Bay, designerconsignergb.com
OUTFIT IDEAS FOR WHEN YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR “For young girls, sundresses or leggings with a top; for boys, shorts and a T-shirt; for adults (women), a maxi dress with a denim jacket; for men, dark wash jeans with a button-down shirt.”—Angela McDonald, fashion marketing manager at Tadpoles Children’s Clothing Store, Roseville, shoptadpoles.com “A white, button-down top with jeans and a black blazer is a great, simple outfit. You can also take any neutral, black or gray outfit you have in your closet and accessorize with colorful jewelry, shoes or a bag to add instant energy and style to any outfit!”—Marie Muscat and Dan Williams, owners of Reinvent Clothing Boutique and Consignment Shop, Roseville, reinvent-boutique.com “When you feel like you have nothing to wear and are no longer inspired by your closet, it’s time to reinvent your wardrobe. Experiment with different styles and trade your clothes for some fun, new pieces. When you refresh your wardrobe, chances are you’ll be more motivated to dress stylishly and love everything in your closet.” —FreeStyle Clothing Exchange Team, Folsom, freestyleclothing.com

“I would have to say my stainless steel water bottle! It keeps my water cold, so when I’m in hot yoga for instance or in spin class, I get a cool refreshing drink throughout my workout! Also, stainless steel does not gather the germs like plastic often does (not to mention the EPA) so I’m getting a healthier drink. I just throw it in the dishwasher and I’m ready for the next workout!”—Cynthia Besson, founder and CEO of LHT Revolution Family Weight Loss Centers, Granite Bay, lhtrevolution.com; founder of Leaner Healthier Today Weight Loss Centers and author of Leaner Healthier Teen Revolution “Versa Gripps because they are durable, provide support for heavy lifting, and come in an assortment of colors; Femme Fitale Gloves because they are comfortable and fashionable; Fit Bit because it helps you stay accountable for your
calories burned and comes in a variety of colors.”—Jamee Pau, personal trainer and owner of Jamee Pau Fit, Roseville, jameepaufit.com “Rocktape! It helps you work out stronger for longer. As a high-functioning athlete, it keeps you training through aches and pains.”—Amitis Pourarian, owner and 6th degree taekwondo master at The STUDIO, Roseville, trainatthestudio.com “It may sound simple, but a good water bottle and playlist go a long way. Having a water bottle that you like will help you want to hydrate, which is a critical component to ensuring optimal performance and safety. In addition, having a great playlist is the perfect accessory to stay motivated and work out harder for longer durations. Music can also improve your mood on days when you just don’t feel like working out.”—Suzanne Cardenas, personal trainer and group fitness instructor at California Family Fitness (Folsom and Sunrise locations), californiafamilyfitness.com

TIPS TO LOOK STYLISH WHILE WORKING OUT “My favorite tip is to use Bare Minerals foundation, paired with some basic waterproof mascara. This makes me look like I’m not wearing makeup and even if I sweat, it leaves very little residue on my towel (unlike other foundations). I also love using one of the new permanent lipstick stains by L’oreal or Revlon, so I always have a little color on my lips! Put your hair in a high ponytail (do a little comb back on top, put on your rubber band and then use both hands to pull the hair up.) This look, paired with the makeup and a nice matching workout shirt and pants, makes you look like you’re put together, even when you’re sweating!—Cynthia Besson, founder and CEO of LHT Revolution Family Weight Loss Centers, Granite Bay, lhtrevolution. com; founder of Leaner Healthier Today Weight Loss Centers and author of Leaner Healthier Teen Revolution
“Wear solid bottoms with an accent color and match your top to the accent color. Make the accent color your ‘power color.’ Keep in mind, however, that if you look too stylish at the end of your workout, you aren’t doing it right!”—Amitis Pourarian, owner and 6th degree taekwondo master at The STUDIO, Roseville, trainatthestudio.com “Try clothing that complements your body but might be outside your comfort zone, such as a different style or pattern, or a pop of color. You might be surprised to find a new look that makes you feel inspired.”—Suzanne Cardenas, personal trainer and group fitness instructor at California Family Fitness (Folsom and Rancho Cordova locations), californiafamilyfitness.com

WORK IT OUT Bodyheat Hot Pilates & Yoga,
“I was recently introduced to bamboo, and it seems to be great at absorbing sweat, doesn’t have a smell (like cotton can often have), and dries quickly.”—Jimmy Badra, Mr. World, Fitness and Bodybuilding Champion, NASM, co-founder of LHT Revolution Family Weight Loss Centers, Granite Bay, lhtrevolution.com
BEST ITEMS FOR AN AT-HOME WORKOUT “A workout ball! It’s one of my favorites because someone of any size can perform exercises safely. A few that are good to start with are arm and leg raises (hold the ball between your extended arms or thighs and squeeze). Wall squats with the ball are excellent for people who have a hard time doing squats on their own. (You just put the ball behind your back, lean up against the wall and let the ball roll you down and back up). In addition, bouncing up and down is really good for your lymphatic system and is a great way to change your attitude.”—Jimmy Badra, Mr. World, Fitness and Bodybuilding Champion, NASM, co-founder of LHT Revolution Family Weight Loss Centers, Granite Bay, lhtrevolution.com “I own a set of 10-30 pound weights and a TRX to workout at home or to pack while on vacation.”—Jamee Pau, personal trainer and owner of Jamee Pau Fit, Roseville, jameepaufit.com “My favorite pieces of equipment are a mini exercise ball and resistance bands. Both are versatile, can give you a full-body workout and travel easily. If you’re looking to build strength, then I would recommend a kettlebell.”—Suzanne Cardenas, personal trainer and group fitness instructor at California Family Fitness (Folsom and Rancho Cordova locations), californiafamilyfitness.com “A Fitball for core work, stability and strength training; and a jump rope for cardio and plyometrics.”—Amitis Pourarian, owner and 6th degree taekwondo master at The STUDIO, Roseville, trainatthestudio.com

“A natural exfoliation, or a natural facial is great for those with acne or rosacea. Clay and water are combined to create a cream. The cream is spread over the area to be treated. Using only the fingertips the clay is moved around using a featherlike touch. As the clay penetrates the skin, dead cells are loosened and roll off the skin. There are no machines, chemicals or peels used in this procedure. The entire treatment takes one hour and 15 minutes, and when the client is done—they leave with baby cells forming.”—Myriam Liberman, owner of The Tiger’s Eye Skin Care, Granite Bay, tigerseyeskincare.com “I recommend the Micro-Retinol line from Pevonia.”—Noki Ellison, spa manager at Atrium Salon and Spa, Granite Bay, atriumsalonspa.com

You may also want to consider any food allergies and read labels carefully, especially for our friends who have celiac disease, for example. Pick a theme for the basket and use a reusable bag or crate for a beautiful presentation. Your only limitation is your imagination!”—Jill Miller, marketing & community relations team leader at Whole Foods Market, Roseville, wholefoodsmarket.com

WHAT TO BUY A HUNGRY HEALTH NUT “We have many recipes that employ the use of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), which is one of the healthiest fats (monounsaturated) one can consume.

Lastly, our high polyphenol oils have a lot of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits.”—Deb Manley, co-owner at Pairings, Roseville, pairingsevoo.com “A true health nut would appreciate a piece of seasonal fruit accompanied with fresh ground almond butter. Another great option would be a Vega One All-In-One Meal Bar that contains 12 grams of plant-based protein!”—Jill Miller, marketing & community relations team leader at Whole Foods Market, Roseville, wholefoodsmarket.com July 2015 - stylergbr.com 43

SHOP LOCAL BEST PET TOYS FOR YOUR MONEY “You can never go wrong with a KONG. It’s a hard rubber cylinder that you can stuff with all kinds of goodies. We recommend things like kibble, soft dog food, chicken, cheese, cottage cheese, and then plug it with a bit of peanut butter. Put it in the freezer and when you leave or put your dog in their crate, give it to them. It keeps them busy and provides you with a little time to get things done.”—Robin Mizell, owner of Bark Avenue, Rocklin, barkavenueca.com “Treat-dispensing toys are the best! They last a long time and are reusable. Most dogs don’t destroy them because they’re focused on getting the treat out—plus it keeps them from eating the treat too quickly. Some can be filled with peanut butter or yogurt, other with small packaged treats. Good choices are the KONG Original Toy, Petsafe Busy Buddy Toys, or JW Treat Ball.”—Katie Love, marketing manager at Incredible Pets, locations in Roseville, Auburn, Carmichael and Sacramento, incredpets.com

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN PET FOOD “When looking for pet food, we recommend looking for brands that are grain-free with no by-products; food that’s rich in meat, low in carbohydrates, and made with whole fruits and vegetables. Minimally processed fresh ingredients are preferred. Avoid propylene glycol, BHA and BHT, as these chemicals are known to cause cancer. Natural preservatives are always better. Anything with soy or wheat is not unsafe, but a lot of animals are allergic to it, which causes some concern.”—Barb Poteet, co-owner of The Natural Pet Tooth Fairy, Roseville (opening soon!), naturalpettoothfairy. com “Our number-one tip for pet food selection is to find out the cost-per-day of a bag of food, rather than focusing on the total cost of the bag. You might see a 30-pound
bag for $30 and another for $45 and think that the $45 bag is more expensive. However, high-quality foods require less cups per feeding, therefore the bag lasts longer. If the $30 bag lasts 30 days and the $45 bag lasts 45 days, then the cost-per-day is exactly the same! All of our staff have a cost-per-day calculator and can help you find a food that fits your pet’s health needs and your budget. There are many things to look for in pet food. The first ingredient as fresh meat or a specifically named meat meal (like chicken meal, lamb meal or salmon meal) is a good sign that the food is high quality. Always avoid wheat, corn, soy and byproducts. Every pet has different health needs, so it’s best to talk to one of our pet nutrition experts and find out more information.”—Katie Love, marketing manager at Incredible Pets, locations in Roseville, Auburn, Carmichael, and Sacramento, incredpets.com
TIPS FOR DRESSING UP PETS
“If you have a desire to do this, we always recommend starting them at a young age so that they’re used to it and enjoy it. If you’re starting later with your pet, we recommend to start off with basic clothing—T-shirts first and then move into other items such as dresses and/or hoodies and sweatshirts. This helps the pet adjust well. Also, recognizing your pet’s temperament is helpful when dressing them up—for example, some like hats, some don’t, so being cognizant of when your pet is uncomfortable will ensure you’re not constricting them or giving them anxiety. Summertime heat is important to consider. Don’t put clothing on your pet that will cause them anxiety and make them warmer.”—Jennifer Kirk, president/founder of Posh Puppy Boutique, Rocklin, poshpuppyboutique.com “Consider the following three things when dressing your pets: comfort (Is your pet comfortable in the type of clothing selected? Does the hood fall in his face? Does his leg fall out of the leg hole? Is the neck too tight?); proper sizing (This is more important in male dogs—if the body is too long, the dog will pee on the fabric.); climate (Make sure the dog isn’t too hot or too cold.) You don’t want your dog to overheat, but if your dog is small with very little fur, you need to protect them.”—Robin Mizell, owner of Bark Avenue, Rocklin, barkavenueca.com

peru Land of Plenty by Megan Wiskus
Machu Picchu
T
raversing through the Andes, on the last portion of the Inca Trail, Machu Picchu comes into view. As I gaze awestruck at the 15th century Inca civilization surrounded by cloud forests and blanketed in a misty fog—I’m speechless. Words can’t explain the feeling of seeing this wonder of the world for the first time. It’s not the first, nor will it be the last time on my Peruvian adventure that I’m blown away. Booking the trip with luxury adventure travel company Butterfield & Robinson (B&R) has proven to be advantageous in more ways than one. While traveling abroad with loved ones usually brings trepidation and more tiffs than nuevo soles I have in my wallet, B&R has made everything happen so effortlessly that I’m beginning to wonder how I ever voyaged any other way.
LIMA Although most international flights land in Lima—Peru’s capital and the country’s largest city—many tourists forgo a visit and continue on to Cusco, the gateway to Machu Picchu. I advise you spend at least two days here: The seaside city is studded with a mishmash of Lima coastline colonial architecture, modern sky rises and world-class restaurants (don’t miss diving into a plate of ceviche, the star of Peru’s gastronomic repertoire).

Eco Culinary Experience Bike Tours of Lima
50 stylergbr.com - July 2015
STAY: The first arts-boutique hotel in Lima, Hotel B features 17 suites, a signature restaurant and impressive art sprinkled throughout. Nestled in the bohemian, culturally rich enclave of Barranco, the property—sited in a restored 1914, two-story mansion—boasts a relaxed, homey vibe and modern amenities. EXPERIENCE: Bike Tours of Lima takes riders on an easy pedal along the coastal cliffs and around the city’s historic mansions, churches, parks and notable neighborhoods—all while the guide regales you with stories of yesteryear. An Eco Culinary Experience with local celebrity chef, Brisa, means touring an organic, self-sustainable farm, followed by a hands-on cooking class and lunch of seasonal Peruvian fare.

CUSCO At 11,000 feet, Cusco—with its blend of colonial and ancient Incan architecture—is a breath of thin but fresh air. Between its hodgepodge of history (Cusco was once the capital of the Inca Empire), handicraft stands and buzzing Plaza de Armas (the city center that’s surrounded by restaurants, shops and the Baroquestyle Cusco Cathedral), it’s easy to fall for this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

STAY: A former 16th century convent, Belmond Palacio Nazarenas has emerged as one of Cusco’s most Andean cheese at the luxurious retreats. Blending old (traditional Inca walls, San Pedro Market regal frescoes and a centuries-old fountain) with new (oxygen-enriched rooms, heated floors and personal Hotel Sol y Luna butler service), this tranquil space will quickly become your home away home.

EXPERIENCE: Learn how the locals live with a trip to San Pedro Market. Selling everything from fresh Andean cheese and bread to produce, meat and handcrafted souvenirs, ambling through the aisles is the ideal way to while away an afternoon. For a truly sweet experience, enjoy a hands-on Chocolate Workshop at the ChocoMuseum where you’ll make and mold your own confections from scratch while learning about Peruvian cacao.
SACRED VALLEY
Stand up paddleboarding
Machu Picchu
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO • Spanish is the primary language spoken, so brush up on the basics before you go. Lo tengo? • All hail the great potato! There are over 3,000 varieties of spuds in Peru, so whether you like them mashed, fried, baked or roasted, be prepared to get your tuber on. • A trip to Peru isn’t complete until you’ve seen Machu Picchu and, in my humble opinion, imbibed in a Pisco Sour, the country’s ubiquitous cocktail that originated in Lima. Crafted from pisco (South American brandy), lime juice, simple syrup, egg white and Angostura bitters, each sip of this sweet-sour-frothy concoction is a boozy delight.
EXPERIENCE: Saddle up on a Peruvian paso horse, one of the smoothest riding stallions in the world, for a journey through remote parts of the region that aren’t accessible by car. For your daily dose of sodium, head to the Maras Salt Terraces. The huge salt mine—carved out of the hillside thousands of years ago and still operated by local Peruvian families—is peppered with photo ops. Those hungry for culture should dig into a pachamanca, which translates to “earth oven” and is Peru’s version of a luau (think marinated meats, potatoes and other produce cooked with hot stones underground). Work off the feast by stand up paddleboarding on Piuray Lake with the
Pachamanca Cusco Cathedral
Nine miles north of Cusco, the aptly named Sacred Valley does indeed have a heavenly aura to it. Located amongst the wet and wild Urubamba River, and dotted with small towns, ruins that hardly seemed ruined and an agreeable climate, this region is certainly worth pausing in. STAY: If waking up to the chirps of native birds in a 25-acre garden oasis surrounded by majestic mountains sounds idyllic, than Hotel Sol y Luna is the property for you. Each casita features rustic Andean ambiance and lush amenities; what’s more, proceeds from the resort benefit the Sol y Luna Association, which supports local educational, cultural and athletic programs to stimulate a higher quality of life.
Maras Salt Terraces
snow-peaked Andes as your backdrop. Of course, a trip to Peru wouldn’t be complete without visiting Machu Picchu (“old mountain”). Whether you arrive via train or trekking the Inca Trail, what awaits you is far more grandiose than the photos in your high school history book. Once inside, you have the option to hike Huayna Picchu (“young mountain”). Although a pretty strenuous climb, the vantage point from the top looks down on the archaeological wonderland that is Machu Picchu and was one of the (many) highlights from my holiday. With landscapes that range from the Pacific Ocean and Andes to the Amazon, and a culture as colorful as its past, Peru has something to fuel all wanderlust stricken souls. Although I only scratched the country’s surface, I’m certainly heading back for seconds.

Apricot Chicken
Meat and Potatoes I was expecting the mushrooms to be stuffed with a breading of some kind, but instead they were chockfull of spicy Italian sausage with aromatic fennel and rosemary.
Comfort-Inducing Classic American Fare by Jennifer Resnicke photos by Dante Fontana
New York Steak and Prawns Brownie Sundae
ocated in a striking Victorian white house that was originally built around 1880, Meat and Potatoes delivers classic American fare in a charmingly old-school environ—think black and white floral patterned tablecloths with sunny yellow napkins and decorative china displayed on the walls. As my husband and I settled at a table and other patrons made easy conversation over glasses of wine, we made our selections—soon finding ourselves in a similar rhythm. All dinner entrées come with a choice of soup or salad to start, plus a baked potato, French fries, mashed potatoes or rice, and vegetables. The house salad was crisp and refreshing (the chilled plate was a nice touch), and the orzo soup—with its tender beef, and carrots so soft you could cut them with your spoon—was especially noteworthy. Up next was our appetizer of stuffed mushrooms. I was expecting the mushrooms to be stuffed with a breading of some kind, but instead they were chock-full of spicy Italian sausage with aromatic fennel and rosemary. Soon it was time for the main event: steak and prawns (for him) and apricot chicken (for me). It’s hard to go wrong with hearty steak, steamed seasonal veggies and a baked potato, but with so much food—it wasn’t long before my husband was slowing down. The apricot chicken was a delectable and inventive combination—the sweet stone fruit paired nicely with a generous double serving of juicy chicken breast. Scooping up some of the apricot sauce with my steamed veggies proved to be a winning mishmash of flavors. Knowing we wanted room for a little something sweet, we asked (painstakingly) to have about half our entrées boxed to take home. Though the carrot cake is apparently a family recipe and a fan favorite, we opted for the brownie sundae. The enormous serving of homemade brownie was topped with a layer of velvety vanilla ice cream, a cloudlike canopy of whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Word to the wise: You might want to bring friends just for dessert— not only is it worth sharing, but you’ll find yourselves with plenty to go around.

Use just about any white‑fleshed fish you like in these spicy‑sweet tostadas. The recipe calls for tilapia, but sole, cod, catfish, halibut, or flounder work equally well. These fish varieties vary in thick‑ ness, though, so be sure the fish is thor‑ oughly cooked. Watermelon and feta cheese are frequent culinary partners. The tangy, salty cheese—with its firm texture—is a nice contrast to the sweet juiciness of the melon.

Top each tostada with half a fish fillet and about 1/4 cup of the watermelon salsa. Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon of the feta cheese and serve immediately. Makes 4 servings
VILLA TOSCANO 2014 WHITE BARBERA For the salsa, gently toss the watermelon, onion, lime juice, and cilantro together in a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving, up to 1 hour. For the fish, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the blackening spice evenly on both sides of each fillet. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium‑high heat. Add two fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.

The wines produced from Shenandoah Valley’s vineyards—home to some of the oldest vines in the state—are renowned for their intense fruit and deep color. One of my favorite local wineries in this region, Villa Toscano, pays homage to Tuscany with their commitment to serving full-bodied fine wines and good food in a truly romantic setting. Extended oak aging on their red varietals ensures deep, complex vinos, while their white varietals receive no oak aging, thus preserving the wine’s fruit character and freshness. Villa Toscano’s 2014 White Barbera has an aroma that boasts a lovely bouquet of tart green apples, citrus and Asian pears. On the palate, you’ll be greeted with hints of honeydew melon and a dash of pink grapefruit, while notes of citrus fill the edges. This light, refreshing wine pairs nicely with seafood—like this month’s Blackened Fish Tostadas with Watermelon Salsa—and spicy Asian dishes; at $26 a bottle, it also makes a lovely host/hostess gift for a summer soiree. —Christina Leyva, Events Manager, 36 Handles Pub & Eatery

Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you? I’m a holistic health coach and nutrition specialist. I help women not only lose weight and gain better health but focus on the whole of their life, too. Nothing is in isolation; you have to address the body, mind and spirit to achieve true holistic wellness. It definitely found me. I’m a structured planner, and when I let go and simply focused on what I was passionate about that is precisely when my business manifested into this dream job. Where do you go when the going gets tough? The beach! It’s always been my grounding place and reminds me to breathe and not sweat over the details. What’s your hidden talent? I’m an intuitive energy worker. It has come in handy with my son who’s had multiple injuries during football and basketball seasons! What’s your biggest job perk? Seeing a woman start to put herself first. We are so hard on ourselves and feel guilty if we do anything for ourselves. I always tell clients, “You can’t give 100 percent of yourself if you don’t feel 100 percent.” When a client hugs me and tells me what a difference I’ve made in their life, it always brings tears to my eyes. It’s incredibly powerful and humbling. What’s your favorite local business other than your own? Soul Yoga in Roseville. I take “hot belly” yoga there three days a week, and it’s how I’m able to truly give to my clients. It is a physical yet spiritually profound practice that keeps me grounded. I call it my soul food! What is your opinion of Style Magazine? I love it and have been reading it for years. The content and quality are what keep me reading. And finally, customer service is…? The root to any meaningful, successful business. If you’re not in it to truly serve others then you shouldn’t be in business.

Answers by Joe Dorr Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you? Our business found us when I was on crutches five times over a six-year period, and my wife wanted me to be as independent as possible. The first time I used crutches she created HandiPockets so I could carry things at the office without asking for help on everything; of course, it gave my wife a break at home, too. My doctor suggested we had a good idea and should market it. Thankfully, we knew a manufacturer in Fresno who was willing to make our pockets. Further orthopedic surgeries created a need for a walker pocket, and then friends suggested a wheelchair patient could use a pocket, so we developed other versions and now proudly say HandiPockets are “made in the U.S.A. and support the California economy.” What was the first job you ever had, and what did you learn from the experience? I delivered for a florist. The owner told me to drive respectfully because “our name is on the truck.” What life accomplishments are you most proud of? Learning how to run a dairy farm, as it requires multiple skills. I’m also very proud of our family (daughters and granddaughters). Where do you go when the going gets tough? To work in the garden. What’s your hidden talent? Greeting guests as a docent at the California State Railroad Museum and making them feel welcome. What’s your biggest job perk? When I see someone using HandiPockets mobility aids on their crutches, walker or wheelchair. What’s your favorite local event that you go to? Downtown Tuesday Nights. And finally, customer service is…? Telling the truth and giving immediate follow-up.

here are you headed on vacation this summer? Maybe a long road trip across this great land? Well, if you can, swing by and see what’s up in Johnson’s Bottom, or have a quiet conversation with someone in Yellville, or spend a night in Intercourse, which is just down the road from Blue Ball. For years on our radio show, my partners Pat, Julie and I have had a thing about strange place names. It all started when we heard of a lovely sounding provincial park in Canada called “Head-SmashedIn-Buffalo-Jump.” No need for delicate semantics on the rough plains of Alberta: It is a place with a large cliff where, in the old days, Indians would chase herds of buffalo off said cliff. We mentioned it on the air and soon, listeners were pitching in other strange place names, like the aforementioned Yellville, Arkansas, which is actually pretty soft-spoken: just over a thousand people and a lovely old courthouse. It’s not too far from Toad Suck, where if you time it right you can enjoy their annual “Toad Suck Daze.” If you like bass fishing, a trip to Flippin may make more sense since that’s where Ranger bass boats are made. Visit their flippin factory, and then find a flippin restaurant for some flippin food. On your way back, swing through Okay, Oklahoma, and spend the night in one of their okay hotels. We hear there are real people in Humansville, Missouri, and some smart folks in Brainy Boro, New Jersey. Folks in Stiffknee Knob, North Carolina, move a little slow. We’re not sure what you’ll find in Sweet Lips, Tennessee, but it might be worth it to find out. For truly titillating town names though, nobody beats Pennsylvania, starting with Intercourse, which, believe it or not, is in Amish Country—so are Climax, Virginville and, um, Blue Ball. But if those don’t do it for you, then perhaps you’d prefer Abstain, Massachusetts. There’s also a Blue Ball, Ohio, but it’s a drive; plan on a potty break in Pee Pee. Johnson’s Bottom is in Kentucky but you probably won’t want to stay long; we called directory assistance and they couldn’t find anything in Johnson’s Bottom. If that’s too far, maybe head north to Idaho and see what’s up in Athol. Or, even closer, grab your tackle box and catch some bottom fish in Plumas County’s Butt Valley Reservoir. In fact, California’s got some great weirdly named places: We all know Cool, Rough and Ready, Whiskeytown and Weed (where road FOR MORE TOM’S TAKES AND... signs are among the most stolen in the U.S.). You’ll WHAT’S COMING also find Happy Campers in Happy Camp, which is NEXT MONTH? on the way to Fort Dick, where people apparently DON’T MISS STYLE’S like hanging out. Dunmovin is a good place to ANNUAL PEOPLE & settle down. If you hate vowels, Zzyzx, in San THEIR PETS PICTORIAL, Bernadino County, is your kind of place. And if PLUS MUCH MORE! you like country music, skip Tennessee: There’s a VISIT STYLERGBR.COM FOR WHAT YOU CAN Nashville in El Dorado County. EXPECT TO DISCOVER N ot a ll s tra n g e ly n a m e d p la ce s so u n d IN AUGUST, ONLY IN compelling, though. Looking for action? You STYLE! probably won’t find it in Boring, Oregon. Crapo, Maryland, sounds dumpy. And if you have dogs, stay away from Fleatown, Ohio. Feeling existential? Sort through your 66 stylergbr.com - July 2015
what’s in a name? Strangely Titled Towns by Tom Mailey
questions in Why, Arizona. Hungry? Try Good Food, Mississippi, or (mmm), Pie Town, New Mexico. You’re on your own in Forage, North Dakota, though. When AC/DC sang “Highway to Hell,” was it actually about a scheduled gig in Hell, Michigan? As a native Washingtonian, I suggest a trip to Humptulips, which, incidentally, is on the way to the Hoh Rain Forest. If you have time, you could push on to Pysht but don’t get upset, there isn’t much there. Make a point to visit Point No Point. The people of Concrete are rock solid. But alas, there are no Starbucks in Starbuck. And that’s just scratching the surface. There are literally hundreds of oddly named towns all across America, just waiting for you to pass through. Um, especially Johnson’s Bottom.
