We visited the most popular Pubs & Grills in downtown Lodi. They all deserve a 5 star rating in our book!
Porters pub is one of the newest pub and grill additions downtown Lodi. Post at the bar with it’s unique polished metal top. Plenty of bar seating along with out door or inside dining. Multiple flat screen TV’s showing all available sports events. A variety of Ales and Craft Beers on tap along with popular Banquet Beers and local wines. Food was amazing! We are saying “THE BEST WINGS IN TOWN!” The servers were friendly and efficient and the owner, Scott Porter, is pleasant and engaging with all of his patrons.
Smack Pie is another great addition to down town Lodi as the only pizza joint around. What a great concept!
The pizzas are made right in front of you with your choice of any of their fresh abundant ingredients or you can choose one of their designer pizzas. The pizzas are then cooked in a fire oven for only a few minutes and they are done and “ADDICTIVELY DELICIOUS!” The price is amazing as well at only $8.99 per pizza. Nom! Nom! Nom! Lots of draft and craft beer on tap and a family friendly environment.
Lodi Beer has been a fixture in the downtown for many years with a solid and consistent reputation. The beautiful buildings architecture and bar make it one of downtown Lodi’s jewels. The “SERVERS ARE THE BEST” and chances are you will see them each time you visit. They’ve all been there a very long time indicating that it must be a terrific place to work! All of the food is exceptional from gourmet salads and wraps to the 5 napkin burger.. Which was named for the number of napkins you will need! Yum! Yum!!
Newest on the Lodi scene is Shep’s Sports Bar & Grill. Shep’s is a the perfect place to grab a cold beer on tap or snack before or after the show as it’s located close to Stadium 12 Cinema. The owners, Eric (Shep) and Claudia Scheper, are the “NICEST & FREINDLIEST” people you will ever meet! The culinary chef prepares all his own gourmet sauces and recipes. Shep’s does not attract the typical bar goers . You can watch and hear the game on one of their 11 flat screens while the kids enjoy a burger or snack.

5 Genius Weekend Beauty Treatments By Fashion & Beauty Editor Audreana Lang
Highlights Hit the gym to minimize wrinkles. Stash your eye cream in the fridge to reduce undereye puffiness. Apply a nourishing avocado hair mask to repair dryness, breakage, and dullness.
After a grueling work week, the weekend is a welcome opportunity to relax, hang out with friends or do some laundry. But, if you can also squeeze in these quick and simple beauty treatments you’ll see major improvements in your skin and hair by Monday! 1. For Younger-Looking Skin: Try that new spin class you’ve been meaning to take this Saturday. Aside from the obvious tummy-flattening and mood-boosting benefits, working out also minimizes wrinkles. Why? Exercise helps support the production of collagen, which keeps your skin smooth and firm. Just don’t blame us if your coworkers start demanding your skin care secret at work this week.

2. For Thicker Hair: Treat your scalp to a massage, which promotes blood circulation, stimulating hair follicles and eventually boosting your strand count. Start with your normal shampooing routine in the shower on Saturday night and gently knead and rake your fingers over your scalp for about 30 seconds. Repeat Sunday night and as often as possible for fuller hair. 3. For Brighter Eyes: Look for an eye treatment with caffeine on the ingredients list like Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Eye Gel and stash it in the fridge this weekend. The cold constricts blood vessels, reducing under-eye puffiness, while the caffeine detoxifies the thin skin under your eyes, breaking up the baggage. Dab - don't rub - the cream onto your under-eye area as soon as you get out of bed Saturday and Sunday to look more awake on Monday. 4. For Glowing Skin: On Sunday night, mix a pinch of turmeric with 2 tablespoons of manuka honey in a small cup, advises Jolie Martin, director and laser skin care specialist at Skinney Medspa in New York City. “Apply the mask to your face and neck to stimulate blood flow, draw out toxins, lighten dark spots, and kill bacteria,” she explains. Leave the mixture on your face for 15 minutes for radiant skin all week. 5. For Shinier, Stronger Hair: Show your hair some love on Sunday night with a nourishing avocado hair mask that’ll repair dryness, breakage, and dullness. You can try a DIY version by mashing up the entire fruit, combing it through your hair in the shower, leaving it on for 10 minutes, and rinsing it out with your favorite shampoo. Or, opt for a store-bought version like Kiehl’s Olive Fruit Oil Deeply Repairative Hair Pak, which is laced with avocado oil that will leave your hair soft and manageable throughout your 40-hour work week.

1. You Must Eat Less Some diets may focus less on calorie counting, but the truth is you must eat less if you really want to lose weight. Losing weight starts with a simple calorie deficit. You can create a deficit by simply eating less total food, or by exercising more. A deficit of 500 calories per day over the course of one week is 3,500 calories, or one pound of fat! The more of a deficit you create, the more weight loss you will experience.
How do you know if you are eating less? Calories should be set between 10 to 12 times your bodyweight, depending on how much weight you need to lose and how much activity you do on a daily basis. Don’t just consider your exercise routine, but also the exercise you do outside of the gym . 2. Structure Although some people don’t like the word structure when it comes to diet, every successful diet has some. Even flexible diets have structure. Whether it’s the amount of calories you are eating or the amount of each macronutrient you are taking in, these are parameters that will lead to success. By keeping track of what you are eating, including calories and the amount of protein, carbs and fats, you can make appropriate adjustments when something is not going right. Structure to a diet plan can also ensure that you stick with it. It’s hard to maintain your results. When you first start on any diet plan, you will need to eat less and be restrictive with your choices, but once you have reached your ideal weight, it is possible to eat a little more. Remember that if you were dieting, it probably will not be possible to maintain your top conditioning 365 days per year, but you should aim to maintain your weight within 10 pounds. Slowly start to add calories back into your diet—
By making slow adjustments you will be less likely to fall off your plan completely and fall back into old habits. Aim for eating calories at about 12 to 15 times your new bodyweight, based again on your activity level and your new metabolic rate. 3. More Protein, Healthy Fats and Fiber
4. Eliminate the Junk Food
A diet that is focused on building a healthy lean body should be high in protein, provide a moderate amount of healthy fats and at least 25 grams of fiber every day. As a general rule, follow a diet that provides at least 1 to 1.5 grams of protein from lean sources that are high in all the essential amino acids, including poultry, whole eggs, lean cuts of red meat and nonfat dairy like whey protein. Protein is a necessary nutrient for building muscle, maintaining muscle and assisting in recovery.
It’s also highly thermogenic, which means eating it actually burns calories! Many people think they should skip over the fat when it comes to a diet, but this is far from the truth. Fat is essential for balancing hormones and can even play a role in helping preserve muscle. Lastly, a good diet will have a whole of lot of fiber. Fiber from fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds and whole grains is important for maintaining a healthy gut, and removing toxins from the body. Diets that are high in fiber can also help reduce appetite and blood sugar levels. Most successful diets focused on building a lean body provide about 40 to 50 percent protein, 30 to 20 percent carbs and fats.
The occasional cheat on junk food is a given when it comes to any diet, but the majority of the time junk food should be eliminated. Junk food doesn’t provide good nutrition because it’s loaded in sugar, fat or both, and not much of anything else, so it’s easy to see why junk food should not be included as part of your diet. If you are new to following a structured, clean eating plan, don’t go cold turkey! Instead, ease off your bad eating ways by eliminating the junk food slowly. Limit yourself to once per week. Come your cheat day, don’t go overboard and eat back all the calories you eliminated. Instead, pick one or two of your favorites, or one cheat meal. By giving yourself a treat here and there, you will be less likely to go off your diet completely, and feel much more satisfied with your new diet plan. It’s also been shown that the occasional bad eating can help increase your metabolism and keep it from down-regulating. This is called “Adaptive Thermogenesis,” which is when your body gets accustomed to the low calories you are eating and starts to plateau, slowing your metabolism and storing or maintaining your body in the same state. Busting out of this plateau can be as easy as having the occasional cheat meal, so don’t be scared to give in every once in a while.
5. Maintenance Plan for Life The ideal diet should essentially become a way of life. It shouldn’t be so restrictive that it’s difficult to stick to or it makes it

Uber Service in Stockton & Lodi
Uber Ride Service Anyone who has spent time in larger cities such as New York or San Francisco knows how easy it is to get around. Either through public transportation, a cab, bike sharing programs, buses and other forms of public transit. There are a number of options when it comes to getting from Point A to Point B. In Stockton and Lodi, however, if you want to get somewhere, taking your own car is almost always your only choice.
Uber is made possible by downloading the smart phone ap called “Uber Taxi”. Using a smart phone app, riders can locate Uber drivers in their vicinity, pick the driver they want, and wait to be whisked away to their preferred destination.
Uber is now open for business in the Stockton and Lodi area. This is how it works. This service provides a ride to your destination through a private driver service made possible by smart phones. Uber has become a quite a hit with residents as well as tourists and busy professionals in nearly every major city inside and outside the U.S. Uber provides a new, more convenient way to get around if they are planning a fun night out and don’t want to drive or just need a ride somewhere.
The drivers arrive in their personal vehicle and have gone through backgrounds checks prior to being able to provide services. Once you have set up your account and plugged in your credit card the payment , including the tip is linked to your Uber account. Once you reach final destination, all you have to do is get out... No money exchanged!

Uber Service in Stockton & Lodi The new service is a potential game changer for residents. Stockton and Lodi have long been a cities where you can only really get around with your own personal car. There is very limited taxi services, and buses don’t reach everyone at convenient times or locations, especially at night. With the introduction of Uber, you can head to the downtown for a movie, dinner, a Port’s baseball game or out for a beverage on the Miracle Mile and not have to worry about battling for parking of having too much to drink.
Some additional Info on Uber Uber has three levels of car services, starting with UberBLACK and UberSUV, which are more premium services that cost more to use. Lodi and Stockton have started out only with the company’s UberX feature, which is a much more affordable ridesharing service that allows anyone with a car, a license and insurance (and passing a background check) the ability to turn their personal ride into a taxi. In return, the drivers get a chunk of the profit. According to the drivers we spoke to, there is never any shortage of drivers in the cities they have launched in, and the Stockton and Lodi should be no different. As the market in area progresses, Uber could expand service to include all three car types.
Style of Lodi Put Uber To The Test Our editors recently tried the Uber ride service for several weeks in a row to see how the service works and how dependable and consistent it really was.
It's very simple.. Just download the Uber Taxi ap in your smart phone and within minutes you're ride can be on it's way. So Cheers to Uber and we hope you will try and enjoy the service!
We planned our evening in downtown Lodi both times, obtaining a ride to and from our night out. The experience was pleasant and the rides all came within 5-10 minutes of our request. Clean cars and friendly drivers etc. The rates were below $10 total for a ride from our home to the downtown area. Our past experience with the one cab in Lodi was a $10 cost for only one way. Uber proved to be less than half the cost. Overall a Great Experience! www.StyleOfYourCityBoutique.com 24 Style of Your City Community Magazines Winter 2015 StyleOfYourCity.com . StyleOfLodi.com .

Pets are an important part of so many people's lives. They each have their own unique personalities and bring happiness and love into our lives and families. In this issue of Style of Your City Magazines, we asked our readers to share their story and send in pictures and the story of their best friend and how they have enrich their lives. Anna & "Cali" You should see the difference from earlier this year. Anna was not planning on getting a dog! Cali & Anna... its LOVE! Anna lost her two senior babies right now, but then saw Cali's picture at Stockton impound. She was sad and scared and alone and Anna's kind heart reached out to take her in and saved her life. Very hard on the scared ones to get adopted. They named her Cali, as she reminded them of a California girl! She is now Cali girl! She is HOME!
The Kane Family & “Kane” The Kanes of Angels Camp have appropriately adopted the pup named “Kane”, that was obviously just meant to be! Karlee shared, “I want to give a dog a better life than its had. I want to give a dog a life it deserves. All animals deserve a home and family for a lifetime and I can give that to a dog/puppy. My husband and I have been wanting another dog for a long time. We just bought another home that has 30 acres. We have been looking for a dog that will be our companion and enjoy living on a ranch while being able to cuddle up in our home. This breed of dog is perfect for us and our family. And getting a young dog allows him to grow and learn on our ranch.
Please Adopt Adopt Your
My small family is finally ready to add a new member to our family. We have been patiently waiting till the time would be right. The time is right, now that we own our new home with 30 acres a new puppy can run around and play with us and be able to do the things he was bred to do. Now the time is right we finally found the right puppy. We can't wait to welcome Kane to our Kane Family." Happy Happy Day for the Border Collie babies!
