PUBLISHER’S NOTE

Dear Readers, After a long winter, springtime has finally greeted us, along with its warmer temperatures, brighter days, and pleasant evenings spent outdoors with family and friends. Here in Florida, spring is one of our favorite seasons, as we are blessed with lovely weather before the summer heat kicks in. On top of that, this season welcomes Spring Fashion in all its glory.

In this March issue of Tampa Style, we selected for you the Versace Spring Fashion Ready to Wear and one of the hottest looks gracing the runway this spring. The trends from this Versace show with this photo series shall inspire you to dream up and update your spring wardrobe to embrace the vibrant colors of spring.

We love that the days are getting longer, and with the temperature rising we also wanted to get you the first look of the best swimwear for men and women. Pick out some pieces that catch your eye so you can soak up the sun and enjoy the pool or beach in style this season. Get out there and spend some time in this wonderful spring air, and what better way to keep yourself healthy during this pandemic than getting some exercise outdoors? Let’s all get through this pandemic, check the CDC website frequently to get in line for the vaccine. We are so close to overcoming this pandemic and once we’re all vaccinated, we can line up some amazing events as venues are waiting for us to start that again.

This new year has met us with new challenges, but we have also seen new adventures, new innovations, and new technology. Some went through extreme suffering while others got lucky to have some bitcoin from earlier times… perhaps, you should take a look at getting the new Ferrari SF90 Spider, which will shatter your expectations of the Ferrari brand you may have known for years.

While we continue to progress through this global pandemic, we must not forget to celebrate each day we are given. From enjoying our delicious local restaurants with loved ones to exploring some of the fashion trends our shops and boutiques have to offer, Tampa Bay is the perfect place to enjoy life to the fullest.

SPLURGE! BLANTYRE and Café BOULUD THE BERKSHIRES

Let’s face it; we all long to get back to going out and about. Dining, flying, traveling; all of it. And we all also deserve a splurge.

TRAVEL ‘N STYLE

When you visit some places, you are greeted with endless possibilities in splurging and spoils for the senses and the soul. The Berkshires region can be counted among them, as this area is spectacular in scenery all by itself, with its old rustic barns and silos, rough non-manicured landscapes, its pretty sunrises and sunsets, all seemingly sprinkled with fairy dust at every turn.

Located in Western Massachusetts and originally an exclusive playground for the affluent New York City dwellers during the Gilded Age, this region is comprised of 32 separate towns, which now open up their magical doors in welcoming all who choose to travel here. From the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Tanglewood, Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival (most temporarily virtual), the Norman Rockwell Museum, MASS MoCA (Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art) and more, there are endless things to do and places to see, stocked with historic landmarks, museums and performing arts venues.

Perhaps do an antiquing crawl throughout the region or enjoy their treasure trove of culture, a variety of top quality dining spots or maybe chance upon a piece of untouched land and have a delightful impromptu picnic at the dozens of picturesque parks and gardens here.

Enter Blantyre Country Estate, the first United States hotel to become a member of Relais & Châteaux. This sprawling estate is set amidst 110 acres of lush lawns and woods. Arrive and take in this Tudor Style House built in 1902, transporting you to an era of grandeur and opulence. Blantyre’s 24 elegant accommodations are located in the Manor House, the Carriage House and four charming, well-appointed cottages.

Featuring New England’s most extensive wine cellar with a private tasting room and thousands of bottles of wine, this in itself beckons an unparalleled visit, while The Spa at Blantyre- the Potting Shed, provides a calming respite for those who seek rejuvenation, itself featuring 5 treatment rooms, including a water suite and a private shower, guests can relax and indulge in a sauna or a Eucalyptus steam room, a peaceful relaxation lounge, a vitality bar, a fitness center and a spa cuisine menu. Services include massage, facial and body treatment therapies (Temporarily closed due to COVID 19 restrictions).

A heated pool, tennis courts and manicured croquet lawns along with impeccably decorated rooms warmed up by luxury fabrics and wallpapering, fresh flowers, antique appointments and endless shelves of books beckon you back to centuries past, if even for a stolen moment in time.

This Relais & Châteaux Forbes Five Star resort has refreshed New England travel with brand new offerings and exclusive guest amenities, including the region’s premier dining experience, Café Boulud at Blantyre.

Splendid.

Café Boulud at Blantyre Since its debut in July of 2020, and under the helm of Michelin-starred Chef Daniel Boulud, Café Boulud New York at Blantyre has established itself as the area’s most sought after and treasured dining destination. This pop-up offers the flavors of the original award-winning Café Boulud on New York’s Upper East Side to the Berkshires, featuring inventive seasonal French cuisine, enjoyed in a more comfortable and casual café vibe. Using fresh and local ingredients in an impeccably authentic farm to table manner, French classics are featured with a whimsical freshness, a distinct Boulud signature seen woven throughout each menu.

For perfect pairings, Blantyre’s wine collection provides endless premier and rare bottles of wine, and has enjoyed distinction and international acclaim such as the much revered Wine Spectator Grand Award. Their wine-by-the-glass list, allows for tasting and creative pairing throughout the meal. Beer is graciously offered as well. House Cocktails such as the Ernest at Sea; Hendricks’s gin, fresh grapefruit and hibiscus syrup, or the Cooler than Yesterday; Elijah Craig bourbon, Szechuan peppercorn, Fino sherry, lemon, plum compote and apple cider among other mixology masterpieces, add sparkle and celebration to the meal.

Starters such as the pumpkin soup with a rich gruyère espuma, spiced croutons and lingonberry or the popular Spanish octopus with sunchoke skordalia, pickled ahi-dulce peppers, marcona almond and nasturtium whet the appetite, and the Scottish sea trout gravlax with marinated beets, horseradish crème fraîche, pumpernickel also entice. A favorite, duck pâté en croûte with dried figs, gem lettuce and a whole grain mustard Chantilly is consistently divine. Main courses such as the Branzino “Cha Cha” with vermicelli noodles, turmeric, scallions, peanuts, fish sauce and lime seasoning satisfies discerning palates. The grilled lobster tail with littleneck clams, fingerling potatoes, bacon, celery root and chowder sauce is a hit for seafood lovers. The Crescent Farm duck breast with wild rice, quince, fennel, duck leg pastilla and anise scented jus is both classic and refreshed. For lighter fare, the Frenchie Burger with confit pork belly, morbier cheese, tomato, onion jam, cornichon, pommes frites, mesclun salad and sides such as sautéed spinach, garlic and fried shallots or roasted cauliflower vadvouvan yogurt, parsley, make for a perfectly rounded meal.

Meal service throughout the property is offered in complete compliance with state and CDC Requests for private events and intimate celebrations will also be accommodated. Guests of Blantyre can enjoy topnotch culinary moments throughout the estate, including gilded-age picnics amidst the 110acre grounds.

Dinner service Wednesday through Sunday, weekend brunch and private parties at Blantyre, this Relais and Châteaux property. http://www.blantyre.com/

John Adams Farmhouse Since 1990, chef and owner Dan Smith, has been offering farm-to-table dining experience, long before it was in vogue. Since then he has continued to delight guests, from local regulars to travelers far and wide.

Built in the late 1700s, this rustic farmhouse remains surrounded by beautifully landscaped perennial gardens along with panoramic views of its sprawling natural forest backdrop, including an old icehouse built along with the original farmstead.

Enter and find a sprawling bar on your right, perfect for an après touring cocktail. Be seated in the cozy dining room to the left, encompassing several beautifully appointed rooms in the house and granting a comfortable at home feel. Enjoy the candle lit white tablecloth dining, casual and elegant all at once. On chillier days or evenings, take in the crackling fireplace while you dine, providing the perfect ambiance. Al fresco dining is available on the terrace as well, providing an ideal outdoor dining experience.

Chef Dan Smith as always, develops his menu around regional producers and is inspired by what’s fresh and current in seasonal produce and all ingredients. In addition to his work with farmers in the region, Chef Dan created his own garden on the property, which supplies additional produce for the restaurant.

The appetizers here such as the fried oyster salad with mesclun, caesar vinaigrette and parmesan crisps is a well-known signature dish and for good reason. The oysters are plentiful, plump and just the right amount of crispy, giving texture and balance when on the palate. The P.E.I. mussel in coconut milk with lime, chili and scallion is exotic, flavorful and satisfying. Casual fare such as fiery duck wings with blue cheese and celery, offers a unique spin on the standard Buffalo wings appetizer. Main dishes such as the seared duck breast, crisp leg confit, mashed potatoes, balsamic and maple syrup is classic while at the same time amplified by the fresh maple syrup flavor while the seared diver scallops with cauliflower-pancetta ‘risotto’, garlic, spinach, with red quinoa, leeks, roast mushrooms and braised greens offers a delightful seafood selection. Enjoy an extensive wine list, a full cocktail bar and a bar menu for lighter fare.

The John Andrews Farmhouse and Chef Dan Smith, have achieved high accolades from The Daily Meal, is a Lonely Planet Top Choice and has been awarded the Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence, Yankee Magazine Editor’s Choice and the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence. https://johnandrewsrestaurant.com/

BLUE LIGHT SKINCARE

Everything you should know about protecting your skin from blue light.

You probably already have a skincare routine that you do religiously, but have you considered adding an extra step for blue light protection? In this age of digitalization and technology, many people are unaware about the effects that the blue light from their phone or computer screen has on their skin.

Blue light contains high-frequencies and short wavelengths that are detrimental to your skin cells.

The effects are not immediate but are long term. It has been found that blue light causes cell shrinkage, speeds up the aging process, and adds excess stress to the skin.

MILK MAKEUP KUSH HIGH VOLUME MASCARA Kush is a vegan, gluten, paraben and silicone free mascara that provides fluffy clump-free lashes.

“One hit for volume” the hemp-derived cannabis seed oil will condition and nourish the lashes allowing for a creamy texture and intense pigmentation. Kush makes volumizing look easy for those smoky sultry eye looks. $24 / Milkmakeup.com

Recently, many brands have released creams and serums focusing on just blue light protection alone. Before the release of these blue light focused protectants, many professionals recommended just wearing sunscreen or SPF. Unfortunately for the consumer, many of these common sunscreens leave a white cast or a thick and sticky feeling on your face. That’s why brands like Soleil Toujours and Goodhabit have deterred away from the common sunscreen, introducing other products of protection.

The Goodhabit brand, released in 2020, is a leading skincare company in the protection from blue light. They provide on their brand website (goodhabitskin.com) that SPF is not enough to fight the visible blue light. Their best seller is the Water Jelly Dew Cream which is supposed to

provide “heavyweight hydration with a lightweight feel” utilizing their BLU5 technology. This technology they have created is from the extraction of a marine active off the coast of Greenland. This active ultimately creates a light protective film on the skin while neutralizing the effects of blue light.

Furthermore, luxury brand, Soleil Toujours, has also released an anti-blue light formulated mist. Soleil Toujours announced their mission to “erase the divide between luxury skincare and serious suncare, making protection from the sun’s harmful rays a daily routine, not just a beach-day consideration” (soleiltoujours.com). However, their Organic Set+ Protect Micro Mist SPF 30 also provides protection from the blue light with the inclusion of the EcoSun Complex. This is their blend of red algae, ascorbyl pamitate (oil-soluble form of vitamin C), vitamin E, and bisabolol (extracted from chamomile) that is included in their products. They also focus on sustainable packaging and environmental responsibility, so you don’t have to feel guilty when purchasing their products knowing that they are vegan and environmentally friendly.

Make the choice to add the extra step of blue light protectant skincare to your routine and you’ll realize that’s what you’ve been missing.

Lymphatic Drainage Massage: What is it & why are all the celebs getting it? By Devyn Le You’ve probably seen the photos online of Chrissy Teigen, Selena Gomez, and other celebrities engaging in what they call the Lymphatic Drainage Massage. Well, what exactly is this massage and why is this becoming a health and wellness trend? Beginning with the basics, the network of vessels and organs underneath the skin that focus on flushing out toxins is called the lymphatic system. This system disposes of unwanted materials but also transports infection-fighting substances. The mindset behind the lymphatic drainage massage is that if you’re sick, bloated, or achy, then triggering the network into motion should essentially speed up the detoxing process, getting rid of all those unwanted fluids and bacteria.

“Aside from the health benefits to your immune system, many celebrities have been seen hopping on this trend for the slimming effect”

22

| TAMPASTYLEMAGAZINE.COM

Now you’re probably wondering if these so-called massages actually work. The lymphatic drainage massage actually began in the 1930’s in Europe and was called Lymphology. As it became more popular, different techniques started appearing which led to the spa treatment that many utilize today. The most common reason for the practice of the massage was for those suffering from Lymphedema and those recovering from cancer. Lymphedema is chronic swelling in specific areas of the body, so this therapy of unclogging actually helps for the allowance of the lymphatic fluid movement. If the lymphatic system is clogged, the cells in your body are not getting the fluid they need to fight diseases and illness.

Therefore, many people have started incorporating this style of massage therapy for the immunity benefits.

Aside from the health benefits to your immune system, many celebrities have been seen hopping on this trend for the slimming effect. Unfortunately, if you’re only interested in the massage for the purpose of weight loss, it is only temporarily slimming and contouring. There is in fact no actual fat reduction happening. It has been found that the before and after pictures look exceptionally different because of the detoxing and reduction of water retention. This leaves the impression of a temporary visual effect.

Although there may not be any real fat reduction happening, the massage will still leave you feeling light and airy. Here in Orlando we have a few different places that provide the lymphatic drainage massage as a service. Zen Brazil in Southwest Orlando guarantees that “you will leave Zen Brazil feeling peaceful, relaxed and rejuvenated” and offers a fifty-minute session for the lymphatic drainage massage starting at $95.

They also offer different packages for higher amounts of sessions and how long you want the session. If you don’t want to do your body but still want to test the treatment, you can opt for the lymphatic drainage for the face option instead for $75.

Another highly rated spa located in Winter Park, is Lymphatic Drainage Orlando. Lymphatic Drainage Orlando was founded in 2007 and has come a long way since then. They offer several different lymphatic drainage treatments, such as: post-surgery, prenatal, and regular lymphatic drainage.

It just might be your turn to hop on this trend for those not so great days and feel immediate results.

Signs Your Pet Has

Seasonal Allergies

By Melanie Silva

AS SPRING SLOWLY APPROACHES, it brings

a terrible side effect: allergies. Did you know seasonal allergies affect our pets just as badly as they affect us?

Here are four signs your pet could be suffering from seasonal allergies: CONSTANT SCRATCHING

If your pet has allergies, their skin will become very itchy. For dogs and cats, their allergies more often take the form of skin irritation or inflammation, a condition referred to as allergic dermatitis. Pets will most likely start scratching excessively due to the itchiness, and they might even bite at certain areas of their bodies.

They may also rub themselves against some surfaces like the carpet, furniture, or wall.

IRRITATED SKIN

As a result of all the itching and scratching, your pet’s skin may become extremely irritated. Just like humans, pets can break out in rashes if they’ve been exposed to something that they’re allergic to. Pay close attention to the areas around their paws, as well as the belly. If you notice any red, irritated skin, it’s most likely a sign of allergies.

CONTINUAL LICKING

If you suspect that your animal has seasonal allergies, it’s best to have them examined by your veterinarian as soon as possible. You could also try to relieve your pet’s allergies at home by giving them frequent baths, vacuuming your floors, and cleaning your pet’s paws and coat after being outside.

26

| TAMPASTYLEMAGAZINE.COM

If your pet is constantly licking parts of their bodies, it could be that something in their environment is bothering them. Your pet will do anything to try to reduce itching, including licking their skin.

Unfortunately, biting, licking and scratching can cause open sores and scabs. Sores can become infected, which can result in making your pet even more uncomfortable.

RUBBING EARS FREQUENTLY

Pets with allergies also tend to have problems with their ears. The ear canals could become itchy and inflamed, as well as infected with yeast or bacteria. This may lead to hair loss around the ears, head tilting, or constant ear scratching. For cats and dogs, symptoms of ear infections include scratching, odor, discharge, redness, swelling, and crusts or scabs.

RECLAIMING OUR LOST YEAR

BY DAWN HARRIS SHERLING, M.D., F.A.C.P.

In 2020, Americans lost an entire year off of their life expectancy according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). And while we might be able to attribute most of that loss to the coronavirus, we can’t blame it completely. Americans have been losing ground on their life expectancies as compared with other industrialized nations for years. We are living hard lives and it’s taking its toll.

It is perhaps a great irony that some doctors purporting to be able to extend life and stave off illness with massive doses of supplements or radical dietary interventions, often die of diseases that their diets were meant to protect them from (See: Dr. Atkins). Or, they simply die at an expected age of an unremarkable cause (See: many of my patients who transferred to me when they outlived their own doctors). So, if doctors don’t have the answer, who does?

When long-lived individuals are interviewed and asked the secret of their longevity, there are often cute remarks about avoiding the opposite sex or being attached to the same partner, drinking a bit or avoiding alcohol entirely. Listening to their stories, it is challenging to discover the actual fountain of youth. And yet, though there are no witty anecdotes to be had about it, people who live long lives seem to reside in the countryside and eat simple, homemade food, while getting a fair amount of outdoor activity. Besides that, they have a great deal of social and family connections and rarely feel isolated. Scientists have called the places where these people congregate, Blue Zones.

Dr. Sherling is a general internist and clinical associate professor at Florida Atlantic University Schmidt College of Medicine. She is the author of several academic articles and a medical thriller, Not Quite Dead.

Five areas around the world have been designated as Blue Zones. These are places where many more people than expected make it to very old age, having the highest number of residents over 100 years old. Three of them are on islands in Japan, Greece, and Italy, where the hustle and bustle of modern life has made some inroads

over the years, but where ultimately, traditions have held strong. They eat moderately, mostly fruits, vegetables, legumes, and grains. Some drink alcohol and some do not. All get plenty of physical activity and have deep connections to the community. While not an island, the Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica is another Blue Zone with similar characteristics, somewhat isolated from modern life, its people living full lives, eating whole foods mostly derived from the land.

But before you pack your bags for an island retreat, you should know that the fifth Blue Zone is not in some faraway, secluded location. It’s in Loma Linda, California, about one hour east of Los Angeles. The Blue Zone isn’t the whole city or even part of the city. The piece of Loma Linda that’s been designated as a Blue Zone is a religious group—the Seventh Day Adventists who reside there. This group of about 9,000 Americans have made something of an urban island for themselves where their lifestyle resembles that of the Blue Zone Italians or Costa Ricans a whole lot more than their Los Angeles brethren a short ride on the I-10 away. The Loma Linda Adventists eat mostly vegetarian, whole foods diets, don’t drink or smoke, and get regular exercise. Besides that, they have a close knit, active community, making it clear that it doesn’t matter where you live as much as how you live.

Despite decades of fad diets and supplements being hawked on daytime T.V., we are losing lifeexpectancy ground, more quickly now than ever.

If we want to reclaim our lost year (or even lost years), we need to start changing our daily habits.

Residents of Blue Zones aren’t telling what to do us as much as they are showing us. A wise man once said, “Seeing is believing.” Health gurus may make promises, but the Blue Zones are demonstrating how it’s actually done. And the Loma Linda Adventists are proving that it can be done in a busy area of the U.S. just as well as in a remote area of Greece.

DROP OF FOAMED MILK ESPRESSO 60ML

The macchiato is an important feature of Italian coffee culture. It’s basically an espresso (served in a demitasse cup) with a small amount of foamed milk on top.

There is another type of macchiato called “latte macchiato,” which is a cup of hot milk with a shot of espresso. Today, you can order it with many different flavors, and you can even have it iced (which also makes for a “pretty” drink).

Traditional cappuccinos, along with espressos and lattes, are all traditional Italian coffee-like beverages with the combination of espresso and steamed milk. Cappuccinos consist of half frothy steamed milk, half espresso.

Most cappuccinos now are sweetened, flavored, and often made from a concentrated mix, although they still share the same frothed milk and coffee flavors like the original cappuccino. This drink can also be iced.

STEAMED MILK 120 ML ESPRESSO 60 ML

This drink is one of the more complicated drinks to prepare. The flat white consists of a double shot of espresso combined with micro-foamed milk that is heated consistently all the way through. The drink is served a little bit cooler than a cappuccino. The flat white has a velvety texture that remains consistent while you are drinking it.

ESPRESSO 30ML

Many people believe that espresso is a dark, bitter, almost burnt-flavored roast of coffee, when in fact espresso is not a roast at all. It’s a method of preparing the coffee. The coffee is grounded finely and is tightly packed into a “portafilter”.

High-pressure water is then forced through the grounds and extracted in small, concentrated amounts. Why do you think it’s called a “shot?”

| TAMPASTYLEMAGAZINE.COM

SERVE TO YOUR LIKING ADD MILK/ FLAVORS

It is not your typical “iced coffee”. Cold brew, also called cold water extract or cold press, is coffee that’s brewed with room temperature/cold water for several hours (12 to 24 hours! That’s crazy! ) Then the coffee concentrate is ready to be prepared to order. Just like any other coffee, water or milk is used, and it can be served hot, over ice, or blended with ice and other ingredients. Yum!

Lattes are probably the most common drink ordered by people. “Cafe Latte” means “milk coffee” in English, and that’s pretty much what it is. A good portion of the drink is steamed milk with espresso shots to liven it up, usually topped with about 1/2 inch or so of foam. You can add as much espresso shots as you like, along with having it flavored.

ALONG CAME A SPIDER The Ferrari SF90 Spider The spider version of the SF90 Stradale, the SF90 Spider, was unveiled recently and not only is the car the Prancing Horse’s first production plug-in hybrid spider, but the SF90 Spider also sets new benchmarks for performance, innovation and the thrill of driving, not only for the marque’s range, but for the entire sports car sector.

The new convertible has the same extreme supercar specification and record-breaking performance as the SF90 Stradale, yet also adds further excitement and versatility to the mix, thanks to latest iteration of Ferrari’s signature Retractable Hard Top architecture which first debuted on a mid-rear engined berlinetta in 2011. The SF90 Spider thus represents a fundamental revision of the supercar concept that makes it the ideal car for owners that demand the very pinnacle of Ferrari technology, but still want to experience the joy of open-top driving.

The SF90 Spider’s plug-in hybrid system guarantees performance levels unmatched by any other production spider: the car’s 780 cv turbo-charged V8 is augmented by three electric motors, one at the rear and two on the front axle, bringing its maximum power output to a staggering 1,000 cv. This state-of-the-art system does not complicate the driving experience in any way as a sophisticated control logic autonomously monitors and adjust power flows to suit the conditions of use. All the driver has to do is to select one of the power unit modes (eDrive, Hybrid, Performance and Qualify) on the brand-new eManettino for a wonderfully exhilarating experience behind the wheel. Like the SF90 Stradale, the SF90 Spider also has AWD, which has raised the bar for standing starts to unparalleled new speeds: 0-100 km/h in 2.5 s and 0-200 km/h in 7.0 s.

The mechanical layout adopted by the Maranello engineers has allowed them to further advance the car’s dynamic control system. The latter, now

referred to as the eSSC, verifies the car’s dynamic status in real time. Based on that information, it controls vehicle stability by delivering torque independently via the front electric engines to the inside and outside wheel (Torque Vectoring), significantly improving traction coming out of corners and making it much simpler and more intuitive to drive on the limit with confidence.

From an aerodynamic perspective, the result of the development process is an extreme design which, with a maximum of 390 kg of downforce at 250 km/h, sets the absolute benchmark in terms of both downforce and aerodynamic efficiency for the road cars in the range without aerodynamic appendages. The many innovative, patented solutions adopted include most notably the shut-off Gurney, an active system at the rear of the car which adapts to driving conditions, and the forged wheels with wing profiles which recall Ferrari’s F1-derived blown geometry.

The starting point for the SF90 Spider design was to ensure it remained as faithful as possible to the SF90 Stradale’s signature styling. The Ferrari Styling Centre’s meticulous crafting of the tonneau area has integrated it seamlessly with the rest of the car, an achievement that is even more astonishing because the V8 is still clearly visible through the engine bay cover despite the inclusion of the RHT stowage. The V8 thus remains the star of the show and very much on display whether the RHT is deployed or retracted.

The track-derived “eyes on the road, hands on the steering wheel” philosophy, which drove the ergonomics and styling of the interior, has produced an innovative new HMI concept that includes a new steering wheel with a touchpad that allows drivers to control virtually every aspect of the car without moving their hands.

The central instrument cluster is now entirely digital with a 16” curved HD screen, which can be fully configured and controlled using the

controls on the steering wheel. On the central tunnel, the automatic gearbox controls are now actioned by a grille-style feature that references Ferrari’s glorious and iconic manual gearshift gate.

Like all Prancing Horse spiders, the SF90 Spider sports a retractable hard top, which guarantees optimal noise insulation and protection from the elements when deployed, does not deform at high speeds and provides exceptional occupant space and comfort. The RHT is so compact, simple and light, it can be actioned in just 14 seconds and can be deployed when the car is on the move. The key to the success of the Ferrari RHT is that it takes up just 100 litres of space rather than the 150-200 litres required by a traditional system. The use of aluminium in its construction also means that it is around 40 kg lighter than a conventional retractable hard top.

An adjustable electric rear window guarantees superb occupant comfort even at high speeds when the RHT is lowered.

As is the case with the SF90 Stradale, the SF90 Spider is also available with a dedicated specification for owners that want to push its track car vocation to the extreme. The Assetto Fiorano includes a list of exclusive upgrades that set it apart from the standard car, not least Multimatic shock absorbers derived from the Prancing Horse’s GT racing experience and optimised for track use. Others include the adoption of high performance materials (such as carbon-fibre and titanium) that have shaved 21 kg off the car’s weight, a carbon-fibre rear spoiler and road-homologated Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres designed to improve track performance in the dry, thanks to a softer compound and fewer grooves. Lastly, the Assetto Fiorano offers an optional two-tone livery that further underscores the car’s racing vocation.

SOLE-Y SPRING This spring, the designers we know and love have released fuzzy slides and baby heels as the trends of the season. They’re promoting comfort and class by keeping the outfits casual but upping the ante with these shoes that can totally transform the outfit. Furry slides are leaving the bedroom and heading for the streets, turning heads as they pass. The low baby heels that have been detected on this season’s catwalks are bringing femininity and delicacy to the bright spring season with their kitten heels. The versatility in these trends will add the extra spring to your step!

TRENDS TO KNOW FOR THIS SPRING Flower Power & Pretty in Pastel Floral motifs are in and bolder than ever this spring. Designers have matched floral prints with bright neon colors on ball gowns and teatime tulip dresses to casual crop-tops and maxi skirts. These looks will have you blossoming like the Garden of Eden. Don’t forget the floral print heels to mix and match as well. Tom Ford, Valentino, and Marni to name a few, are all in on this trend. Be bold this season and sport that flower power.

Another trend you don’t want to miss out on this season are the pastel tones. Spring is blossoming and it’s time for the lilacs, lavenders and peonies to shine. Many have been sporting this look in monochrome pantsuits matched with trench-coats, but this trend also works for those soft early 2000’s cardigans that have made a comeback, matched with a small handbag.

ACTORS WHO WERE MUCH CLOSER IN AGE THAN PORTRAYED THE TRUE AGE GAPS BETWEEN THESE STARS WILL MAKE YOUR JAW DROP!

By Riesa Pascal

Playing older or younger roles comes with the territory of being an actor and when it comes to fictional characters in Hollywood, we all know that anything is possible. Keep on reading to see the shocking age gaps between co-stars in some of your favorite roles.

Mean Girls This modern cult classic saw Amy Poehler steal the show as the easy going mother of Regina George (played by Rachel McAdams). In real life there’s only a seven-year age difference between the two actresses.

The Hobbit Trilogy Thranduil (Lee Pace) was the father of Legolas in The Hobbit series, but in real life this Elvenking is actually two years younger than his on-screen son portrayed by Orlando Bloom.

Selena This biographical musical drama about the life of Selena QuintanillaPérez stars Jennifer Lopez in her breakout role as the title character.

The real-life age difference between Lopez and her on-screen mother (Constance Marie) is a couple months shy of four years.

Forrest Gump Despite being just nine years older than Tom Hanks, Sally Field was cast as Hank’s mother in the Academy-award winning film Forrest Gump. If that wasn’t surprising enough, the couple had previously played love interest just 6 years earlier in Punchline.

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again Though she is noticeably absent for most of the movie, Meryl Streep reprised her role as Donna Sheridan in this follow-up to the 2008 film Mamma Mia! In the film, her on-screen mother is played by the one and only Cher who in reality is only three years older than Streep.

Alexander Despite having an all-star cast, Alexander was a major box-office flop and left many scratching their heads at the bizarre decision to cast 29-year-old Angelina Jolie as Colin Farrell’s mother. Farrell was 28 at the time making him just one year younger than Jolie.

White Christmas Classic Christmas movie lovers are well familiar with this 1954 smash hit, but some may be surprised to learn that younger sister Judy Haynes (Vera-Ellen) is actually seven years older than her on-screen big sister Betty (Rosemary Clooney).

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Although there is only a 12-year age gap between Sean Connery and Harrison Ford, Connery was cast as Jones’ estranged father Henry Jones, Sr. in the third installment of the beloved Indiana Jones franchise.

CELEBRITY SOUP

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang In what is by far the shortest age gap on the list, Dick Van Dyke was actually six months older than Lionel Jeffries who was cast to play Dyke’s on-screen father in this musical-fantasy classic.

George Lopez Belita Moreno nailed her role as Benita “Benny” Lopez—the bitter and emotionally abusive mother of George Lopez—in his award-winning ABC sitcom. In real life, however, the actress is only 11 years older than her onscreen son.

Golden Girls In 1985, Bea Arthur was cast as Golden Girl Dorothy Zbornakat while Dorothy’s mother Sophia Petrillo was portrayed by Estelle Getty who was actually a year younger than Arthur in real life.

Lose FAT & INCHES Noninvasively

8 Simple Rules Before starring in the wildly successful sitcom The Bang Theory, Kaley Cuoco landed her breakout role as Bridget Hennessy on 8 Simple Rules.

Though Bridget was supposed to be the older sister of Kerry Hennessy (Amy Davidson), Cuoco is actually six years younger than Davidson in real life.

Schitt’s Creek **Spoiler Alert** Though their visible closeness in age is covertly addressed by the fact that the Rose family mistakenly assumes Mutt and Jocelyn Schitt are having an affair, the on-screen mother (Jennifer Robertson) and son (Tim Rozon) are actually only five years apart.

SHANNON R. M. IVEY, DVM Hidden Oaks Animal Hospital A South Carolina Lowcountry native, Dr. Shannon Ivey has found her home in Tarpon Springs, Florida. More than the oak trees draped in moss, beautiful creeks and bayous, cypress swamps, and abundant wildlife, the friendly community of Tarpon Springs drew her here and made her feel welcome. She is the proud owner of Hidden Oaks Animal Hospital, featuring a state-of-the-art veterinary hospital, separate cat hospital, her home, and an updated boarding facility nestled on five acres of a tranquil wooded sanctuary in Tarpon Springs.

Dr. Ivey earned her Bachelor of Science degree at Clemson University and her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine at the University of Tennessee, where she was fortunate to be involved in the medical care of their mascot Smokey and several of the Anheuser Busch Clydesdale horses.

From serving as President of her Student Veterinary Medical Chapter to President of several Local Veterinary Medical Associations in Memphis and Shelby County, TN and in Sarasota County, FL, Dr. Ivey has always been active in local veterinary medical leadership and education. At Hidden Oaks, she is happy to work with student volunteers and interns, fostering close relationships with the St. Petersburg College Veterinary Technology program and the Tarpon Springs High School Veterinary Science Academy. In fact, the year 2020 was unique for Hidden Oaks Animal Hospital in that its employees/alumni represented all three levels of educational achievement earning High School, Veterinary Technology, and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degrees!

While practicing veterinary medicine during a pandemic has presented some unique challenges, Dr. Ivey and her team have diligently maintained the highest standards of care and provided patients and clients with the personalized, compassionate treatment to which they are accustomed. She has incorporated telemedicine, increased prescription and pet food home delivery, provided outdoor client seating, performed outdoor exams and peaceful euthanasia in the butterfly

garden, and implemented contactless payments to help adapt to our changing situation. Regardless of the current demands, Dr. Ivey and her team have continued to practice the highest levels of veterinary care, including advanced soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, Sevo- and Isoflurane anesthesia, digital radiology (x-rays), ultrasonography, dentistry, internal medicine, cardiology, oncology, Class IV Laser therapy, cryotherapy, behavioral consults, and dermatology.

Dr. Ivey also welcomes a board-certified cardiologist to the practice monthly for echocardiograms and consultations.

Despite less than 15% of veterinary hospitals earning the distinction of American Animal Hospital Association Accreditation, she is proud to have just celebrated the hospital’s 25th year as an AAHA Accredited Hospital! Further recognition came as Hidden Oaks Animal Hospital was presented with the Best of Tarpon Springs Animal Hospital Award of 2020!

Through Hidden Oaks Animal Hospital’s support of local animal charities and donations to disaster relief causes, Dr. Ivey strives to have a positive impact on the Tampa Bay community. She also remains committed to community involvement when not in the office. Inspired by her daughter Arwyn, a Double Bassist, she absolutely loves her time spent with the Tarpon Springs Leadership Conservatory for the Arts, Tampa Metropolitan Youth Orchestra, and the Pinellas Youth Symphony. She is extremely honored to actively serve on the Board of Directors for the Pinellas Youth Symphony.

As light filters through the Spanish moss on the oak trees and the deer and turkey roam the grounds, it is easy to see why Dr. Ivey is glad that her home is attached to the vet hospital and why her patients feel so comfortable when they come to Hidden Oaks Animal Hospital for medical care and to board at its newly remodeled spa. The warmth and hospitality of Dr. Shannon Ivey is well matched by the current medical therapies practiced at Hidden Oaks Animal Hospital where your pets will feel at home, too.

Dr. Cowan had a feeling that TBVS best met her vision for settling into the area, and it has not disappointed, working alongside colleagues from veterinary hospitals across Tampa Bay, as well as collaboration with specialists in her own hospital (offering internal medicine, surgery, oncology, radiology, dermatology, neurology, and ophthalmology) to achieve the highest quality of care in a patient-centered and valuesdriven environment. The practice also has a 24 hour emergency department that is extremely busy tending to the emergent needs of veterinarians, pets and their families in the Tampa Bay area and beyond.

Families travel from as far south as Ft. Lauderdale and as far north as Gainesville to consult with Dr. Cowan on various internal medicine disorders such as chronic kidney disease, respiratory problems, endocrine (hormonal) conditions, liver disease, blood disorders, autoimmune diseases, urinary issues, nasal issues and more. Her goal is to have families feel her virtually wrapping her arms of care and expertise around them as she guides them through the complex decision making options often required with internal medicine disorders. She will also diligently communicate with the often much-loved primary veterinarian who has been caring for that individual patient often for 10 or more years, weaving them into the decision making process as a further layer of support to families with sick pets.

Dr. Cowan was born in Chicago, Illinois and received her BS and DVM degrees from The University of Florida with honors. She was

selected for a highly regarded small animal internship at North Carolina State University in 1999, and then completed an internal medicine residency program at The University of Tennessee. She completed board certification and was awarded the ACVIM Resident Research Award in hematology (blood disorders) in 2003. Off for an Outback adventure with her husband from 2004-2015, Dr. Cowan worked as a specialist at the notable Small Animal Specialist Hospital, where she also taught students, interns and residents. She was an invited member of The University of Sydney Mentoring Program for students from 2010-2015. She also held regular lectures and spoke at conferences to colleagues in the greater community, and wrote board certification exams for the Australian College of Veterinary Scientists. Sara was the Director of Infection Control and Antibiotic Use for her Sydney hospital and carries these principles and directives into TBVS and our wider community.

Dr. Cowan attended a cuttingedge Masterclass on non-surgical endoscopic procedures in New York City in 2015, and now brings all of this global experience to our area.

Sara enjoys all aspects of Internal Medicine, with a particular interest in blood disorders, responsible antibiotic use, and endoscopy.

Dr. Cowan is one of the few veterinarians in the Tampa Bay area skilled in placing tracheal and urethral stents, and can also use endoscopy to aid other chronic respiratory and urinary problems in dogs and cats. Sara has a natural focus on compassion, communication and empathy, with detailed attention to the well-being of the sickest of patients, distressed pet owners, and the hard-working staff.

AUDRY FRANA, DVM Broadway Cat Hospital Dr. Audry Frana received her bachelor’s degree cum laude from Iowa State University. She continued her education at the Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine. Upon completing her medical training, she worked in Wisconsin and Texas perfecting her style of medicine. This style was greatly influenced by her upbringing on a farm in eastern Iowa. She is a believer in treating every client and patient like they are her own family. Her values of compassion, empathy, and integrity are instilled in a loving smalltown environment.

As a child, Dr. Frana started visiting the Tampa area. She fell in love with both the climate and the diversity. She has always aspired to become a part of this coastal community and lifestyle. When the opportunity arose for her to take over a feline only hospital in Dunedin, she jumped at the chance. In 2018, she became the proud owner of Broadway Cat Hospital. She is glad to continue the legacy of a local female owned small business. Through her own cultivation, she is bringing progress with technology, as well as continuing the traditional medicine that feline owners know and love.

Broadway Cat Hospital prides itself on concierge type services. They will always see same day emergencies for their current clients. The staff, with a combined 50+ years of experience, has been known to pick up cats for appointments and deliver prescriptions. They can also arrange for at-home visits to further reduce stress. They are truly there to help their clients with any unique feline needs.

Being a completely feline centered practice, Broadway Cat Hospital has a very calm environment with low noise levels. They also have a high level of air circulation to decrease stress pheromones that cause anxiety. These surroundings help incorporate Dr. Frana’s Fear Free Certification and low stress handling techniques. By only treating cats, Dr. Frana is able to focus on continuing her education in order to keep up to date with feline specific techniques and information.

This helps her concentrate on feline health needs that are often overlooked.

Dr. Frana has special interest in feline internal medicine, surgery, and dentistry. She excels at the treatment of chronic diseases such as renal failure, diabetes, and hyperthyroidism, to name a few. Her surgical expertise in both soft tissue and orthopedic, has not only benefited but also saved numerous lives.

Dr. Frana and her family have comfortably settled in the Sunshine State. In her free time, she enjoys going on adventures to the beach and restoring beautiful historic homes with her family. She is honored to be voted one of Tampa’s Top Veterinarians.

LAKE SEMINOLE ANIMAL HOSPITAL Dr. Michael Rumore, Dr. Kristin Wrede, Dr. Veronica Brenes-LaRoche, Dr. Abigail O’Connor or an older pup who is struggling to get around. They all care so much and just want to help.”

Much has changed over the last half century.

Digital x-rays and imaging, advanced testing and new treatments have allowed them to help pets in ways they never imagined. The technology and medical progress has been huge, but even more is our understanding of the psychology of dogs and cats. “We work so much harder these days to keep pets comfortable, pain free and less stressed, especially during their visits here.” Whether it’s for a wellness check up or because a furry friend is very sick, trying to make their visit easier for the pets and their parents is important.

Longevity matters. Lake Seminole Animal Hospital has been helping pets for more than 58 years, with three generations of some families trusting their pets to them. They appreciate the trust, as well as the effort that some people make to drive from other counties and cities to see them. The longevity is reflected in the staff as well, with many being part of the LSAH family for more than a decade or two.

Owner Dr. Michael Rumore truly believes in his staff; “Our staff is compassionate and talented and so loyal because they believe in our mission; all of us came into this field because we really wanted to help animals and it’s fulfilling to be able to go home every night knowing you did some real good in the universe.”

The nurses, assistants and client care specialists are an important part of the mix. “While our doctors are some of the most knowledgeable and skilled, the level of care they provide is multiplied by the excellent staff that supports them,” Dr. Rumore continued. “The team of doctors really work as a team and the collaboration helps – they aren’t a bunch of individual doctors working separately.

Built in second opinions are part of the system.”

The skill level of LSAH is exceptional and the depth of experience ranges from rural Pennsylvania farm work to animal shelters in India and all over the United States. “The doctors and nurses are so excited to learn some new advanced medical technique, but then don’t hesitate to get on the floor with a puppy

LSAH continues to be locally and privately owned. “So much emphasis is being placed on shopping local, but its becoming harder and harder to find veterinary care that’s not owned by a national corporation.

Unfortunately, with a little digging, many people are just finding out that what they thought was a local business is no longer the “mom and pop” operation they thought is was. It’s different when you live and work in your own community and the strings aren’t being pulled by a corporate board a thousand miles away,” says Dr. Rumore.

That’s why LSAH has always been involved in the community, helping local shelters and rescues, as well as founding Nell’s Fund, which helps care for sick and injured homeless pets and finds them forever families locally.

“I feel so blessed to be able to work at Lake Seminole Animal Hospital,” said Dr. Rumore.

“Years ago we had a wonderful client give us a painting of a cabin lit up in the dark woods.

She said LSAH reminded her of that cabin, a beacon of light for her when she was scared for her beloved fur baby. We work every day to continue to be that beacon of light for pet owners. We know how much people love their four legged kids and want to be there for them when they need us.”

NANNETTE C. PARRA, DVM ParkView Animal Hospital Small Animal Dr. Nannette Parra joined ParkView Animal Hospital as a veterinarian/owner in 2015. She has not only grown the practice, but her goal has always been to produce a true family practice where she can harvest long lasting client-patient relationships and deliver superior and individualized care to each and every patient with a compassionate and warm touch.

Dr. Parra was born in New York and raised in Puerto Rico. She is fluent in both Spanish and English. She received her undergraduate degree in Biochemistry from Benedictine College before earning her veterinary degree from Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2002. Upon graduating Dr. Parra entered active duty as a Captain in the United States Army and took her first assignment at the National Naval Medical Center in the Armed Forced Radiobiology Research Institute. She served there as the Chief, Animal Medicine Division of the Veterinary Sciences Department and collaborated with and allowed for the provision of consistent, quality care to precious Department of Defense research assets. She published her research on serum lipids and lipoproteins in the phase of sepsis in the Journal of Comparative Medicine. After her active-duty years, Dr. Parra decided to move to Missouri to join private practice, and eventually moved to Florida to be closer to family. She also volunteers at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine, helping with the admissions process when needed. Dr. Parra’s outside interests include: spending time with family; such as, watching movies with her son, watching her daughter play volleyball, camping and spending time with her German Shepherds (Aslan and Thor) as well as her chickens, “the girls”.

Growing up my dream was always to become a veterinarian and if you would ask me then I would have told you that I loved animals and I want to help them. Well, many years have passed, and if you were to ask me the same question, although my answer is more elaborate, the premise remains the same. “I love my job and I wouldn’t trade it for anything else.” I have the best job in the world, and I share it with not only an elite set of coworkers but with an elite clientele, that are more than clients, they are part of our extended family. Finding a balance between my passion and the real world is difficult but I love spending time with my family, so I make the most of the opportunities I get. I also like to provide mentorship to those aspiring in the field of veterinary medicine, from the veterinary technician to the possible future colleague. My focus is client education and creating a fun and stress-free environment for all of my patients. “I love that they love to come see us.”

After working several years in retail he entered veterinary school at Ross University in 1997. He went on to graduate from Ross in 2000 after completing his clinical rotations at Purdue University.

Dr. Woodside’s passion for veterinary medicine has led him to consider the human-animal bond as his reason for practicing medicine. “It is the cement by which we learn to love, teach, care for, and in some cases tolerate, our pets”. It is the reason we call our furry pals “family members”, and do almost anything for them. Dr. Woodside takes pride in being well-read and current in his field and consistently strives for a diagnosis. He has a special interest in orthopedics and surgery. He is thankful on a daily basis for a caring, professional, and conscientious staff, all of whom are dedicated to the best patient care and client satisfaction.
