FOUNDER’S LETTER
LUCK BE A LADY CHEERS TO 2015! We hope your year is off to a great start. Seven years ago we took a gamble by starting 3W Magazine (a philanthropic publication), and it paid off. Lady Luck has definitely been on our side, and this year we’re celebrating several others who could say the same. We’re dedicating 2015 to all the leading ladies in Northwest Arkansas who work so hard to find balance in this life, but not without giving so much of themselves to a community they love. Be on the lookout throughout the year for special features on leading ladies. We’re kicking things off with two wonderful women – Kirsten Blowers Stuckey, owner of Riffraff; and Martine Pollard, Executive Director of Communications and Community Integration at Mercy Health System Northwest Arkansas. By day, Martine stays busy making sure things at the hospital run smoothly and by night, she’s supporting her husband at football games and caring for their two kids. Kirsten was recently recognized by the National Retail Foundation as one of 25 individuals shaping retail’s future. She even has a new blog: heykirsten.com. Just how does she do it all in 24 hours? Check it out on here. Also in this issue, we’ve talked to the industry leaders about all things health and wellness in Northwest Arkansas. Where to go for the best in beauty, Botox and blowouts? We tell you on page 26. We also sat down with Dr. Serena Pierson of Mercy Health System Northwest Arkansas to answer some of your most-asked women’s health questions. And of course, not to be missed is our cover story. Health and beauty looks different in your 20s, 30s and 40s and we were thrilled to get advice from three fabulous women who tell all. We hope you’ll stay with us on our journey this year as we celebrate all the good that’s happening in Northwest Arkansas. Big changes are on the way at 3W Magazine, so stay tuned!

The 3W team attended more than 120 events in 2014, keeping our calendars filled to the brim with fun, philanthropic events. We finished out the year on a strong note, bidding farewell to fall and celebrating the holidays among friends and community supporters. November was a jam-packed month with plenty of events before the holiday season. At one of the biggest events of the season, The Jones Center whisked guests away to New York City for a very Big Night, raising $200,000 and featuring great food, dancing and entertainment. On the same night Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. & The Tea Rose Foundation’s Celebrity Waiter Event was a night to remember, with community leaders in media serving as “celebrity waiters” and raising funds for scholarships.

Fayetteville Public Education Foundation held a Society Party for interested individuals to learn more about giving to the Fayetteville Public Schools. Local chefs and restaurants pledged to help save babies at the March of Dimes’ Signature Chefs Auction where guests sampled signature dishes from area restaurants, and the Arts Center of the Ozark’s 5x5 Soiree featured original works of art up for grabs in a silent auction to raise funds for the arts center’s season. The following week, Circle of Life Hospice took over Crystal Bridges for their elegant Art of Hospice event that featured a private gallery viewing followed by a multi-course dinner with wine pairings. The Northwest Arkansas Children’s Shelter held its Circles of Giving event where guests lovingly assembled journals for the shelter’s residents. Loving Choices Banquet

The Association of Philanthropy Professionals honored local individuals and organizations at the Philanthropy Day Luncheon for their service to our community. Youth Bridge transformed the John Q. Hammons Center into a French cottage for Starry, Starry Night where patrons enjoyed the arts to raise funds for art therapy programs. In that same vein, the Sunshine School & Development Center hosted its A Very Special Art Show at the school the following evening with a Frozen winter wonderland theme. A couple of days later, we attended CASA-Northwest Arkansas’ Light of Hope Breakfast to benefit abused and neglected children. And last but not least, the NWA Food Bank’s Jewels of Giving Gala gathered more than 350 attendees to help fill the plates of people in need just in time for the holidays. December was certainly an eventful month with plenty of holiday cheer for partygoers. Children and their families enjoyed The Arts Center of the Ozarks annual Breakfast with Santa. The Junior League hosted a Moonlight Masquerade where guests were dressed to impress and the same evening the Mercy Health Foundation Northwest Arkansas’ O’ Night Divine Charity Ball went off without a hitch. Comedian Ryan Hamilton entertained guests during dinner and Country star Danielle Bradbery had guests swooning over her vocals. The special event ended up raising more than $910,000. At our very last event of the year, guests celebrated Christmas at the Peel Compton Foundation’s Annual Christmas Gala among the beautifully adorned Peel Mansion in Bentonville.

HOURS WITH
KIRSTEN BLOWERS STUCKEY
FOUNDER RIFFRAFF
8:30AM
My favorite thing is sleep. I’m sure most would agree, but I get very little of it, so I usually sleep in as long as I possibly can. I find myself checking my texts and emails before my feet have hit the ground in the morning. It’s the best way to get my mind prepared for the day. Part two of getting my mind ready is stopping by my favorite coffee shops, Arsaga’s or Onyx Coffee Lab, to grab a large cup of caffeine. I’ve got a bad dependency on coffee at this point. If I don’t have it, then I can almost expect a headache by noon!
9:45AM
I finally make it into the office. I usually end up checking in with my husband, Jordan, who is head over our social media. Then I run over and get a rundown from my web director, Morgan. This is the easiest and fastest way to get the days challenges figured out in the quickest manner.
12:00PM
LUNCH! Wait, I never really have time for my second favorite thing...food. But, I somehow find a way to fit it in on the run.

Meetings with my team. We are such a young group of people that it’s hard to find the time for everyone to get in the same room at once and for everyone’s schedules to line up. There’s a lot of things we have to check off by days end to keep the well oiled machine running, and unfortunately, it doesn’t always go smoothly when it’s an office of girls all trying to throw ideas out in a short time period. Oddly, we make it work!
TRÉS CHIC
5:00PM
There’s a sense of peace and quiet. What could that be? Everyone has gone home for the day and I am finally able to stop answering questions from every direction and start working on things I need to finally get done in order to start MY OWN day. In all seriousness I’m ok with people asking me questions. If they weren’t, then things probably wouldn’t turn out as great as they do.
7:00PM
It’s dinner time, and I don’t miss dinner. It’s my second jolt of the day. I get to unwind and hang out with my husband or go to dinner with friends. It helps to find time during the day to relax so you can reboot later.
9:00PM
I’m finally home and on the couch. I can find out what’s actually going on in the world or have my husband ask me, “Have you seen this episode of Seinfeld yet?” when he knows I’m going to say, “Yes, probably 5 or 6 times.” I still laugh regardless.
10:00PM
I get my mind right and I’m able to start back in on emails and anything that I wasn’t able to get to during the day. This is also a hard time for me because I end up debating whether or not a shower is a good or bad thing, but I do it so I can get moving faster the next day.

“I LOVE THAT WE’RE ALL A FAMILY AND IT FEELS LIKE HOME.” WHEN POOJA RETURNS FROM FIGURE SKATING NATIONALS FOR THE THIRD TIME, she knows she’ll be greeted by a group of friends. “They’re all supportive about my skating and excited to see how I’ve done. I feel really proud that they care about how I do.” THE NEW SCHOOL IS A SPECIAL PLACE where students are given the freedom and opportunities to grow together in a supportive environment of learning and discovery. “I love that we’re all a family and it feels like home. Over the years you learn how to interact with each other more. I was really shy when I first came here, but ever since I got to elementary, I started opening up to everyone.” Teachers here strive to instill this confidence and match it with dynamic teaching so our students are prepared to tackle anything. NOW, POOJA LOVES A CHALLENGE. She’s a decorated figure skater, a talented violinist, loves algebra, can do 80 pushups and is ready to master piano.

COVER STORY
AT EVERY AGE Everyone wants to know the secret to timeless style and effortless beauty. Each decade of life offers new challenges to sustaining health and preserving beauty. While we try to remember that feeling beautiful is more important than physical appearance, sometimes the two feel inextricably linked. As we age, the truth is that maintaining both inner and outer beauty requires hard work and dedication. We found three local women in different stages of life that have found ways to stay beautiful and healthy while also succeeding in their daily lives. We’re excited to share some of their secrets.

COVER STORY What types of healthy habits are you forming now to take you into your 30s and 40s? I’m working to develop a desire to run and do cardio to keep my heart healthy. I’ve always enjoyed strength building and toning exercises over cardio, but as I get older I’m growing fonder of the idea of morning runs. Also, portion control is something I am practicing now in hopes of maintaining in the future. When do you feel like your most beautiful, confident self? After I work out or do something active, I feel like a new What inspired you to run for Miss Arkansas? person.

So I then found the Miss America Organization and started competing What have you liked most about being Miss Arkansas? in the Miss Arkansas’ Outstanding Teen pageant system. The people I have been able to meet this year have changed After three years, I won the title and served my senior year my life in so many ways. Being able to connect and spend as the representative. I waited a few years and began my time with so many angels at Arkansas Children’s Hospital short journey to the title of Miss Arkansas. This year alone, and students of all ages has been the most fulfilling aspect of I have won more than $27,000 in scholarships from the Miss the job. Arkansas Organization, and an additional $22,000 from the Miss America Organization. I’m so thankful for the assistance I’ve received to complete my education at the University of Arkansas. What is your go-to beauty regimen? I wash my face with a Clarisonic and I use a moisturizer before I go to sleep at night. I exfoliate my skin twice a week to deeply cleanse my pores. Before I apply my makeup, I always use a primer or BB cream under my foundation. As for my makeup routine, I try to keep it simple. I use a liquid foundation and a photo finish setting powder - the rest of my makeup is subject to change, but I try to keep my foundation and skin care regimen consistent. How often do you work out and what is your favorite way to get in shape? I try to work out a few times a week, but it’s definitely a modified workout. I love to swim and go hiking as a way to stay active and fit. However, when that’s not an option, I rely on mini workouts with free weights. When you are traveling how do you make healthy choices? Chick-fil-A grilled nuggets have been a lifesaver for me in terms of eating “healthy fast food.” I think it’s all about moderation and portion control, that’s how I maintain my diet on the road.
What do you hope your legacy will be as Miss Arkansas? As someone from a very small town with big dreams, I hope the legacy I leave is that if I can do it, so can you. I want to be remembered as the Miss Arkansas that always did everything she could to make everyone feel like they’re important and valued.

JAMIE ROMINE 34, wife, mother of 2, Barre3 instructor, creator and writer of Dinner In Gym Clothes
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE…? DRUG STORE PRODUCT: ST. IVES PEACH SCRUB. I LOVE TO EXFOLIATE! I USE IT HEAD TO TOE. IT ACTUALLY MAKES AWESOME SHAVING CREAM. LOCAL RESTAURANT: THAT IS A TOUGH ONE! IT’S PROBABLY A TIE BETWEEN MEIJI FOR SUSHI OR LA HACIENDA FOR MEXICAN. BOUTIQUE: CHIC BOUTIQUE IN FAYETTEVILLE WAY TO WORK OUT: I LOVE GROUP FITNESS, SPECIFICALLY BARRE3, WHICH IS A FUSION OF YOGA, PILATES AND BALLET. COCKTAIL: THEO’S MOSCOW MULE, NO QUESTION.
COVER STORY Do you try to stick to a daily caloric intake? The short answer is, yes. My caloric intake varies on how many fitness classes I’m teaching or how intensely I’ve worked out that day, but generally I consume between 1,600 and 2,000 calories a day. The longer story is incredibly important, though: I pay careful attention to the nutritional content of foods and to serving size. Four hundred calories can look like ¾ of a cup of granola, or it can look like a spinach and cheddar two egg omelet, a side of turkey bacon, and half of a whole wheat English muffin drizzled with a touch of honey. Calorie for calorie, you are getting substantially more protein, healthy fats and whole grains that will keep you full longer.
When did you start your blog Dinner In Gym Clothes and what was your inspiration? The January following the birth of my second child my husband and I made a pact to make our health a priority. This meant some big changes to how we were eating. When I started researching where to start our new lifestyle, the sheer amount of information available was overwhelming and the advice from one article often contradicted the last. I just wanted someone to tell me how to eat better without having to give up everything I loved. Slowly we found our way and the pounds started to come off. That is when I started writing Dinner In Gym Clothes. I was shocked that people were reading what I was writing, but hearing that readers were enjoying my recipes made me so happy that I kept posting. What is a go-to healthy dinner for you and your family? I make pork tenderloin in the slow cooker at least a few times a month. The base recipe is always the same, but with the simple addition of a sauce or side dish you can make a fresh meal without any extra work. For example, with a single pork tenderloin I might make BBQ sandwiches, pork enchiladas, and shredded tenderloin bowls. Do you have any guilty pleasures? If so, when and how often do you let yourself indulge? I try my best to live by the 80/20 rule. Eighty percent of the time I eat healthy, whole foods but the other 20 percent of the time I allow myself to enjoy that brownie at a family BBQ or glass of wine at girl’s night. If I had to pick a guilty pleasure though, it would probably be Mexican food. I love chips and cheese dip with a margarita or splitting an ice cream sundae with my girls.
Have you noticed any changes to your body and metabolism in your 30s? In my 30s there have definitely been major changes in my body, largely due to two pregnancies. While having babies is a miracle, the aftermath of that process is not always exactly what you’d like it to be. What I feel has really changed in my 30s is my outlook on why I’m exercising. In my teens and 20s my focus was strictly on weight. Spending an eternity on the elliptical machine and skipping meals was the norm when I needed to drop a few pounds. Now in my 30s, I listen to my body instead of punishing it. I work out to feel good physically and mentally. What makes you feel like your most beautiful, confident self? As a fitness instructor and busy mom I feel like I live my life in workout clothes. When I have the opportunity to take a long shower, fix my hair, take time to do my makeup and put on a great outfit, I savor every second.

COVER STORY What inspired you to get into fitness? I began in the fitness industry by becoming an ordinary client trying to lose my baby weight. I loved the way I felt and I loved the way my trainer pushed me. At what age did you decide you wanted to make a career out of your passion? After moving around from state to state, I decided I wanted to help others feel good about themselves. In 2006 at age 33, I started asking questions about fitness and then began my studies to become a personal trainer. Once I began, I was unstoppable. I kept pushing myself to know more and more ways of training. We know you run a fitness center, but do you work out every single day? I try not to stress on how often I work out but I do try to make it a priority to put myself first. I typically work out four to five times a week. I also like to change up my workouts by doing barre work, HIIT, strength training and yoga. Yoga is a great If you only had 10 min. what work out would you do? way for me to get in tune with myself.

Women’s Health Q & A with Dr. Serena Pierson The first time Dr. Serena Pierson delivered a baby in medical school, she knew specializing in obstetrics was the right path for her. A physician at Mercy Clinic Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dr. Pierson enjoys giving compassionate and thorough care for patients through their life changes, pregnancies and beyond. “Today’s women are often over-burdened with the many responsibilities we have, but it’s important to take care of ourselves to ensure we’ll be able to continue to do all the things (and care for all the people) we love,” Pierson says.
WHAT TYPES OF DAILY VITAMINS SHOULD WOMEN BE TAKING? In general, recent recommendations are that adults who eat a balanced diet don’t need additional vitamin supplementation. However, I think it’s difficult for many people (myself included) to ALWAYS eat a balanced diet, so for many patients, a daily multivitamin isn’t a bad idea. For women of childbearing age (or who are trying to conceive), it is essential to get at least 400 mcg of folic acid (but preferably 800 mcg, as this dose has been suggested to decrease the risk of neural tube defects) daily, either from diet or a vitamin. Also, it’s important for all women to ensure adequate calcium (recommended intake is 1200 mg calcium per day, either from calcium-rich or calcium-supplemented foods or a combination of foods and supplements) and vitamin D intake (recommended intake is at least 400 IU daily in young women and at least 800 international units in older adults). Adolescents and children (ages 9-18) have an even higher daily calcium requirement: 1300 mg daily. DO YOU RECOMMEND THAT WE GIVE OUR DAUGHTERS (OR SONS) THE HPV VACCINE? IF SO, AT WHAT AGE? The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), as well as ACOG (American College of Obstetricians and Gyecologists), the American Cancer Society (ACS), the World Health Organization (WHO), the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics), the AAFP (American Academy of Family Practice), all recommend vaccination of females with HPV vaccine, ideally at age 11-12, but as early as 9 years of age and up to age 26 years old. The ACIP also recommends routine vaccination of males ages 11-12, but says vaccination can be started as early as 9 years, and up to 26 years old. Personally, I
recommend we give our daughters (and sons) the HPV vaccination series, preferably between 11-12 years of age. It is a vaccine that has been proven to prevent cancer! Why wouldn’t we want to prevent that? WHEN FAMILY PLANNING, HOW LONG SHOULD YOU TRY WITHOUT SUCCESS BEFORE CONSIDERING FERTILITY TREATMENTS? In general, for women less than 35, doctors usually recommend trying to conceive for one year prior to proceeding with fertility treatments (in the absence of other issues). HOW OFTEN SHOULD WOMEN HAVE A GENERAL BLOOD TEST DONE (CBC, DIABETES SCREENING, THYROID SCREENING, FASTING BLOOD GLUCOSE ETC.)? How often a woman needs general screening lab tests depends on multiple factors, including a woman’s age, medical problems, weight and other risk factors (including family history), as well as her symptoms. Many physicians check some or all of these labs every one to three years; some physicians may recommend they be checked more or less frequently based on an individual’s risk factors. AT WHAT AGE SHOULD WOMEN WITH A FAMILY HISTORY OF BREAST CANCER START GETTING MAMMOGRAMS? In general, the recommendations are to start screening 10 years prior to the age the earliest (close) relative was diagnosed or at age 40, whichever comes first. 21

Keeping Your New Year’s Resolutions Healthy Tips for an On-the-Go Lifestyle We all have the same New Year’s resolutions, usually concentrated around the idea of a better self. We have the best of intentions – planning workout days and pinning healthy recipes to our Pinterest boards – but those commitments quickly diminish once the thrill of a “New Year, New Me” mind-set fades and the hustle and bustle of everyday life sets in. Whether you’re in the office five days a week or working hard at home, there never seems to be enough time in the day to make it to the gym and that kale salad never sounds quite as appetizing as a bag of chips. This compilation of onthe-go exercises and healthy snacks will help keep you away from the leftover pizza and vending machines. 23

Making Makeup Last The girls at Glo maintain that primer is the very best way to make a beauty look last. When women complain about their makeup not staying on, the question should always be asked if primer is being used. The best thing about a primer is that it fills in fine lines and pores so that makeup can go on smoother and stay on longer. For touch-ups throughout the day, the Glo girls keep their lip color or gloss handy and recommend a facial mist for a refresh on the go. A staff favorite is the Natura Bisse Diamond Mist spray, which smells like lavender and is relaxing as well as restorative.
2015 Trends The Glo girls predict flawless, dewy skin, bold brows and liner with subtle smokey eyes and soft, stained lips for Spring 2015.
Contouring There are many ways to contour, but one of the most simple and effective ways is Trish McEvoy’s “C-into-a 3” technique. Start by applying bronzer from the forehead to the temple, (the “C”) and then from the cheekbone to the jawline, (the “3”.) This will define the face. For highlighting, use the “V” technique by sweeping highlighter from the upper cheekbone to above the outer brow. Apply blush to the apple of the cheek to brighten the complexion and finish the look. 27

KARA RICHARDSON is a PA, licensed by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants. Kara has been with Premier Dermatology since 2007. She enjoys caring for patients and customizing treatment plans for both medical and cosmetic skin problems. Most Popular Procedures 1. Botox can help erase the lines that make people appear tired, unhappy, or sad as they age. Botox is by far the “best bang for your buck”. It can really improve those frown lines of the forehead or smile lines around the eyes without breaking the bank. 2. Laser treatment and Broad Band Light therapy to address/ erase dark spots and sun damage.
Innovation The most exciting new technology is the use of gold nanoparticles with laser activation. This innovation is showing great promise in helping treat acne and prevent scarring.
Daily Routine The key to skincare is simplicity combined with consistency. Kara’s twice-daily regimen incorporates four steps: exfoliation, hydration, prevention and protection. She uses a SkinMedica face wash as an exfoliator. Then she applies TNS Essential Serum, which protects her skin from environmental factors and helps it rebuild collagen. She uses a daily brightening cream called Lytera to help battle pigment from Melasma. She finishes her regimen with sunblock in the morning and a moisturizer at night. Kara says, “Make sure your regimen is customized for your skin and fits your lifestyle. A skincare regimen only improves the look of the skin if it is used consistently.”

KELLI BOGER is a hairstylist at Bombshell in Fayetteville. She has been doing hair for 11 years and specializes in color. Kelli loves making people feel good about the way they look and feel about their hair. Extentions Kelli says extensions are her new favorite thing to do to hair. The technology behind them has come a long way in the past few years. She uses hair extensions to add volume, length, color and/or depth for her clients. Kelli (as well as the other stylists at Bombshell) is certified to apply “she by socap” extensions, which are “bonded” human hair extensions that utilize melted keratin to adhere the extension to the hair.
Color Trends Kelli is a color specialist so she loves color! She says requests for the “ombré” have been overtaken by those for the “sombre.” The sombre: keeping a lot of really light pieces around the face, then darkening around the middle and back of the head with small, blended highlights or “babylights”. This color technique helps a lot with regrowth and stretching out time between appointments. Kelli is excited about a new innovation called “olapelex,” which is coming to Bombshell in December. It can be added to any hair color and it protects the hair so there is absolutely no damage from color or bleach application.
Hair Loss As long as you aren’t experiencing thinning or a bald spot, don’t worry if you feel like you’re losing a lot of hair. Hair loss is normal and can vary in amount depending on activities and hormones.

Where it all comes together... It was a wonderful victory and championship for the Bentonville Tigers and David but also for all of us. There were definitely lots of sacrifices to make this happen, and we did it together. I’m very supportive of David and his coaching career. He’s also very supportive of me and the work I do, all while trying to “get it right” in raising a family. 39

COLLEGE STUDENTS AND HUMMUS: A HEAVENLY MATCH Denise Rohr and A.B. Merritt have been producing out-of-this-world hummus together since 2005, and thanks to the demand from friends, family and the aligning of the stars, Bernice’s hummus will soon be hitting the shelves at your favorite grocery store. Their organic hummus starts with a mix of garbanzo beans and chick peas which are prepared fresh, never canned, and this translates into extra love and time put into every batch. Creating a healthy and great tasting product was only half the battle for this dynamic duo, as their biggest challenge would come with how to advertise their products without breaking the bank. 41
TRÉS CHIC “Being a local start-up, we wanted to find a cost efficient way to advertise our product and that’s when we turned to the students of the Walton College of Business,” said A.B. Merritt. Integrated Marketing Communications is an upper level marketing class at the University of Arkansas taught by Dr. Anne Velliquette and the low cost advertising solution that Denise and A.B. were looking for. “We were so excited to be selected from the list of local businesses! It’s a huge opportunity for us as a tiny, new business to have access to these kinds of marketing ideas,” says A.B.
Kendall Kraus’ ad
The students were put in teams and asked to create a marketing campaign for Bernice’s Hummus by creating three different advertisements. “Denise and A.B. came to our marketing class at the beginning of the fall semester, told us their story, and left it up to our creativity. I really enjoyed the experience of working in groups and applying everything we’d learned throughout the semester to help out a local business,” said Katie Schuveiller, a senior marketing major and member of Illuminate Marketing Agency, one of the winning groups chosen by Bernice’s Hummus. There were no limits on what the students were allowed to integrate into their ad campaign and one group even took the hummus to twitter with the #showushowyouhummus tagline, earning their team a winning spot. “We wanted to use social media to create some buzz and also thought it was creatively unique” said senior Kendall Kraus. Following weeks of work, Denise and A.B. returned to the classroom to choose their favorite campaigns from each class and their favorite ad overall. “The experience was extremely personal and beneficial to me,” said Trent Lamers, a member of Roundhouse Marketing, the group with the overall winning ad. “These students are sure to be the next generation of creative marketers and this project was a great way to prepare them for what lies ahead. It was a great experience and a win-win for all of us,” said A.B. Merritt. Bernice’s Hummus is produced in Fayetteville, AR at the University of Arkansas Food Science and Innovation Center. Each batch is made fresh and delivered straight to the store from production. You can buy Bernice’s Hummus at Harp’s on Garland, IGA, and Ozark Natural Foods in Fayetteville, as well as through FarmBox Delivers.
