back to the basics Add a little happiness to your life

At various points during the day, I check Facebook and my email like many of you—my feed flooded with products and programs promising happiness and fulfillment, for a price. The thing is—whether your happiness is temporarily increased by clothes, electronics, or fast food—the high is soon over. It is followed by the heavy burden of guilt over purchasing something you didn’t actually need or the feeling of pure exhaustion after a grease-covered meal.

If you want to take control over subtle influences in your daily routine (and live life just a little lighter) consider the following options:

1. Live below your means.

• Coupon queens everywhere are about to really hate me, but

Written by

understand that I do mean well. Stocking up on items you will definitely use with coupons is a fantastic idea—as long as you really do use them. Otherwise you end up with a large amount of food you have to throw out because it expired, and the money you thought you saved becomes money you could have put towards an existing debt or a vacation.

•

Do some research on minimalism and see what parts of it you can apply to your own life. Minimalism gives less power to the objects that surround us—but it doesn’t take away the meaning of the important things in our lives. Instead, it allows us to consciously choose what is important and why without being bogged down by meaningless objects that hurt our health, relationships, and hold us back from reaching our full potential. Visit www.theminimalists.com to see if you can benefit from any of their suggestions and tailor them to fit your needs!

•

Donate items that you don’t use to people who really need them.

The obvious choice is Goodwill, but you can also post free items on websites like www.freecycle.org. They have a specific section for Roanoke already, so it is as easy as going on their site, creating an account, and posting what you have to give away. august 2015

2. Take charge of your diet.

• Organize your kitchen to encourage your family to spend more time

cooking, cleaning, and eating healthy. Place items in drawers where they will be convenient to reach when you need them and get rid of extra dishes, cups, and utensils that no longer serve a purpose. When you have more space, your kitchen looks clean and welcoming after a long day of work or running errands. You may even look forward to getting there and spending time with your family rather than waiting in line at McDonalds to pick up dinner.

•

While we are talking about fast food, it is also important that you try to spend your food budget wisely. Make a list of things you need before you go grocery shopping and stick to that list. We have fallen into a habit in which we place very high value on convenience. Therefore, if it is on an end cap and on sale, we are far more likely to add $3 here and $5 there to our basket without thinking twice about it. Unfortunately, many of those products are not healthy and can include chemicals and preservatives that leave you hungry, tired, and even sick. Commit to the list—accounting for every meal during the week. You’ll save money AND feel better at the end of the day.

•

Consider growing your own fruits and vegetables—it’s possible, even in the city! Look into making some of the staples in your pantry by yourself. With a little practice, you can make your own cheese for 1/3 of the store price and bake your own bread for about fifty cents per loaf. No matter how committed you are to the idea of sustainable living, Woman-Powered Farm by Audrey Levatino is a great book to add to your library. From teaching you the basics on raised garden beds and farm animals to operating farm machinery, it is perfect for the woman who wants to become more self-sufficient.

3. Reorganize your schedule • Completely banning electronics from your house is unreasonable, but

Choose any of these suggestions and tweak them to apply to your • circumstances. At the very least, you may find that it is easier to identify the subtle influences that challenge your happiness and follow your own path instead.

page 8 | bella magazine | august 2015

cutting down on your TV time and opening a book is better for your brain. Get out of the house with your family, or on your own, and hike one of our area’s beautiful trails. See the world around you without a camera phone lens. Choose activities that will inspire you to be a healthier, happier version of yourself. Very often, happiness is just outside of your comfort zone.

Make time for energy-saving activities like hanging clothes on a line or chopping wood for a wood stove this winter. Not only will you stay active, but you will save money on your electric bills. If these ideas are too extreme for you, ease yourself into it. Bike to work or carpool if you can, keep those lights turned off, and set the temperature in your house to a comfortable but reasonable number. Little changes now can make a huge difference over time.

barefoot bucha k

a virginia kombucha company with a mission of sustainability

Kombucha is a live, fermented tea that originated in Eurasia approximately 2,000 years ago. Often enjoyed after a meal, it is considered healthful to the digestive system for its probiotic content, amino acids, and active enzymes.

If you are interested in trying this delicious craft beverage, we recommend

Barefoot Bucha. Their certified organic kombucha is brewed in Virginia from pure Blue Ridge Mountain water and infused with organic and fair trade ingredients.

Founded in 2010 by husband and wife team Ethan and Kate Zuckerman, Barefoot Bucha believes in good health, sustainable business practices, and the ability to positively impact the world through every day choices.

This mission is best illustrated in their “no waste model.” It is composed of greening measures such as reducing energy consumption, partnering with local delivery companies to minimize distribution impact, and composting brewery waste. They also keg their kombucha and offer it on draft at retail locations and restaurants.

The first time you purchase Barefoot Bucha, you also purchase a refillable bottle that you can reuse at any fountain location. It is a commitment that is worth the effort. In their five years of business, Barefoot Bucha drinkers have saved over 250,000 bottles by using the refillable option!

“Bringing your own bottles is not for everyone, but people who drink our kombucha tend to be really loyal to our model and excited about the positive contribution they are making by reusing their bottles,” says Head Brewer and company owner, Ethan Zuckerman. “We want to inspire our customers to be more conscious consumers, to think about the real impact that their purchasing decisions have in the world.”

Barefoot Bucha offers a variety of flavors including Black Raspberry, Ginger, Bluegrass Bucha, Cherry Root, Cold Brewcha, Kombuchai, and Classic. Visit www.barefootbucha.com for more information on distribution locations and the ingredients that make up each flavor.

Molasses Grill

European Flare Meets Southern Hospitality in Halifax County Tucked away in the heart of the logging country of Southwest Virginia, you will find Molasses Grill. Sitting across the street from the Halifax County Courthouse, which was originally built in 1777, stands the Schopen’s restaurant. Chef Steve Schopen and his wife, Karen, opened Molasses Grill in 2005. Much like the courthouse, it has stood the test of time.

Chef Steve brings a vast array of culinary expertise, knowledge of worldly flavors, and understanding of the freshest ingredients to their menu. Steve started his culinary journey in Kent, England, where he was born and raised. As a kid, he began to gain his passion for cooking from his mother, Marjorie. “Sunday dinners were always a hit. There was always a roast of some sort. She had a bountiful garden so there was always some sort of fresh vegetable, whether it be roasted parsnips, English peas, gooseberries. We all sat down, there was no excuse to miss it!” These meals fueled his obsession with cooking, and at the age of 15 he took an apprenticeship at “City and Guilds” in London, England. From there he went on to cook abroad all over Europe, finding himself in Germany, Sweden, and even a short stint in Morocco. It was in 1982 that he jumped the pond and landed in Washington D.C.

Alongside his wife Karen, who has 25 years of professional experience in the restaurant and hospitality industry, they finally realized their lifelong dream of opening a restaurant, finding their home in Halifax County, Virginia. Inside of Molasses Grill you will find a menu that is full of local meats, fish, and vegetables that are all locally sourced between Virginia and North Carolina.

Chef Steve puts meticulous attention to detail into his dishes, going as far as to make everything from his marinades to ice creams in house. The dining room itself resembles that of an early 1920’s grand ballroom, and all of the walls are lined with local artwork. Visitors will spot paintings created by their bartender, and even a few from Chef Schopen himself! From exquisite European spins on Southern Classics, radiant décor, and some of the kindest and most hospitable staff you can find, Molasses Grill has solidified themselves as one of the premier destination restaurants in the state of Virginia.

Be sure to try their pesto rubbed and flash grilled Blue Fin Tuna, served over a succotash of locally grown sweet corn, Roma beans, black eyed peas, and a yellow tomato coulis. The delectable dish is topped with a red and yellow tomato, basil salad in an aged sherry and local honey vinaigrette, and finished with crushed pecans and raw locally grown blueberries. They are open Thursday through Sunday, but reserve your table today because those seats fill up fast!

SYDNEY HALE COMPANY a small business doing big things for virginia Candles are a staple in almost every household. It is easy to go the grocery store and purchase a big name brand, but once the pleasant smell has dissipated (most often, very quickly), you are quickly restocking on your next trip, and your investment no longer seems worthy of its price.

If you haven’t already, it is time to consider investing in candles that support local businesses, are made with soy, and last longer than the cheap candles to

Meghan Cook

which you are accustomed.

Sydney Hale Company’s candles are handmade in small batches right here in Virginia. Their premium soy wax blend, double cotton wick, and 50 hour burn time makes them stand out among any competition.

Traditionally crafted and tastefully fragrant, they will quickly become a household staple.

Purchasing just one candle from Sydney Hale Company helps support the Purcellville, Virginia business owned and operated by a husband and wife team, Meghan and Chris Cook. They have two employees and three shop dogs. Their more than 26 signature fragrance products are available in over 150 boutique retail locations across the USA and Canada.

Everything is handmade in a small 700 square foot studio lending to a truly ‘small batch’ operation. And, if you needed any additional reasons to try their products, 10% of their profits are donated to dog rescue—a cause very important to them.

Not only can you purchase their products on their website, but you can also see snap shots of dogs they have sponsored every month for The Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation. Visit www.sydneyhaleco.com for more information on this local company doing great things for our area.

Centering pregnancy

i

The value of community

Inside a large conference room, expectant mothers discuss nutrition, breastfeeding and exercise with a certified nurse-midwife. The skilled provider tosses out topics as the women take turns offering insight and encouragement. This is CenteringPregnancy, a group pre-natal care model mixing education classes with monthly exams at Centra Medical Group Women’s Center.

Pregnancy is draining. The questions pile up, sometimes outpacing the answers. Pre-natal care visits feel rushed—both for the patient and the provider. Moms-to-be plow through books, magazines, and blogs looking for reassurance and resources.

Preparing for delivery is only a piece of the puzzle. Moms have concerns about proper nutrition, breastfeeding techniques, and exercise. First-time parents know little of bathing, swaddling or changing newborns. This is completely new territory and at times, the tasks seem daunting. To ease the stress and help soon-to-be parents prepare, a new pre-natal care model—centering—combines monthly exams with education classes, offering two hours with a provider.

Centering groups offer a unique care model, catching on fast across the country. Born out of frustration over short appointment times, the program gives certified nurse-midwives more one-on-one time with each patient. In traditional care, an appointment lasts 15 minutes. One of the advantages of centering is giving the patients two hours a month with their provider.

For years, hospitals have offered childbirth and family education courses for soon-to-be parents, but centering is different. The provider isn’t teaching the class; they are facilitating the discussion.

There is a group dynamic and support from other women in the same pregnancy stage.

Groups are formed after the first trimester with eight to 12 ladies—all at the same pregnancy stage—meeting once a month for

Peggy Karpenske, RN, is the manager of Centra Medical Group Women’s Center. Centra Medical Group Women’s Center, which offers centering groups along with traditional, one-on-one care, includes certified nurse midwives, offering comprehensive midwifery obstetrics and gynecologic care.

two hours. The first 30 minutes include private, individual check-ups, allowing patients to ask questions and listen to the baby’s heartbeat. As women rotate through exams, the rest of the group records their blood pressure and weight in a pregnancy journal.

The final 90 minutes revolves around a group topic (nutrition, exercise, breastfeeding or childbirth preparation), allowing women to learn from the midwife and each other. Centering groups include 10, two-hour sessions designed to enhance pre-natal care and education with mothers meeting in a comfortable setting, discussing their pregnancies and enjoying healthy snacks and water. Patients talk through things rather than feeling rushed. These women form close bonds during the sessions.

This program is about offering much deeper support to expectant mothers and another layer of encouragement and education.

Fathers are welcome to attend centering groups, which also include a reunion with parents and newborns after the program ends.

Healthy pregnancies and newborns is the heartbeat of centering, which provides education to make healthy lifestyle choices, curb smoking habits, and lower obesity rates.

Research shows group pre-natal care decreases premature births and low birth weights and increases breastfeeding rates. Centering is an innovative program, but it is also evidence-based and increases healthy outcomes.

Across the country, CenteringPregnancy energizes moms looking for heightened support, education and encouragement. We want to empower women to take ownership of their healthcare. Everyone in the group is experiencing the same thing in the same point of their pregnancy. Centering is pre-natal care at its best. august 2015

Get Organized, Ladies!

getting Organized

Setting up your space for maximum efficiency Written by

a

As silly as it may sound, many people find the idea of being organized a little scary. Can you recall a time when a friend, family member, co-worker, or maybe just a random person opened their purse and everything had a place? It’s mindblowing for some, but the truth is that a little declutter can make a huge impact on your day-to-day life.

Whether you are working with a tiny space or have ample room, you can never be too organized! As you go into a space, there are two things that you need to remember: First, everything has a home. Secondly, if you aren’t using it then lose it!

Let’s start with the foyer. If you’re a fan of repurposing items, and you just so happen to have an old shutter lying around, then you may benefit from a makeshift mail rack. This will help eliminate unneeded clutter on your kitchen counter or desk, and it will make for cute décor. Add hooks for hanging keys and you won’t have the stress of misplacing them and trying to find them at the last minute!

One space that desperately needs organization is a home office and/or study. As you prepare to declutter, make a list of things you need to sort through and pitch into the trash.

How long is long enough to keep receipts before throwing them out?

Most stores accept returns within 90 days after purchase, so after the 90-day period, you are probably safe to throw it away. Unlike receipts, bills and other important documents (i.e. birth certificates and social security information) you will need to keep. Keep hard copies of the items listed above, but other records could be scanned into the computer and stored on a hard drive.

If you have kids that are in school then you are no stranger to the school forms that are sent home each week. Try to take care of signed forms immediately. Those that you aren’t sure if you can commit to, like chaperoning a field trip next month, can be marked with a tab providing the due date. Set a phone alert for the same date, just to cover all bases.

Also in a common living space, chalk paint can be used as a fun alternative to a calendar. The space that was occupied by your surface calendar can be open to things like organizers, and you can customize them to your own preferences whether it be small or oversized (perhaps to match your husbands handwriting!). You can also use a fabric-covered display board for added organization. This cute piece has taken over the classic cork board, and the best part about it is that you can modify it to the theme of your space! Be sure to add things like clothespins and thumb pins to get the most use you can out of it.

As we make our way into the bedroom, a space that’s every clean freak’s dream is a closet! Most people suffer from compulsive purchases, which most often result in neglectful clothing items. As you enter your closet, put your guilt aside and follow this rule: if you haven’t used it in the last two years then just lose it! Someone else would love to have what you don’t wear! After you have page 24 | bella magazine | august 2015

Lani Maddox

sifted through your clothes, try rolling your jeans/tights, t-shirts, and bathing suits. That will open up a lot of space for items like belts, shoes, dresses, and hanging jewelry systems (also another great idea!).

As you know, a closet is home to many items other than clothing, like sheets and such! To save space, it’s a great idea to fold bedding and place inside of pillowcases. If you are a shoe addict (like myself!) consider hanging your flip flops on a DIY shoe hanger instead of just tossing them in the corner. Visit Pinterest for easy guidelines on how to create your own!

Unless you have a humongous bathroom, most often you need as much storage as possible! I suggest starting with your medicine cabinet. Begin by sorting through items such as makeup and medicine.

Roanoke Valley Resources Authority helps dispose of unused medicine at the Tinker Creek Transfer Station on Hollins Road in Roanoke.

Many people love storing things in baskets, but as you know, they tend to take up quite a bit of space. Instead of having them sit upright, try floating baskets! This will double as storage and wall décor. If you are interested in Southern vintage, then mason jars are a great way to organize your makeup and add a little flair to your countertops.

A little organization can go a long way and impact your life in ways you didn’t expect. You may even find that it can be fun! w w w. l o v e l y b e l l a . c o m

bella loves The Akola Project

A young woman’s compassion inspires women to transform their lives Brittany Underwood founded Akola as the result of a meeting with a Ugandan woman, Sarah, who cared for 24 street children in her home. Brittany’s compassion led to action and she founded an organization to construct an orphanage for the children. A non-profit and social business, Akola now empowers over 400 women to transform their lives and the lives of their 7-10 dependents. Through these dignified women, Akola’s development approach holistically cares for 4,000 disadvantaged children sustainably. The project invests years of training women with no opportunities to become artisans in jewelry and accessory designs. Every material used has a story and each piece is handmade with care.

In 2014, the project launched Akola Dallas to offer an economic alternative to sex trafficking victims through business training and employment at a US distribution center.

Their products, including jewelry and woven bags, speak for themselves. Unique accessories that you can’t find anywhere else, they set you apart from the crowd and allow you to give back to women who are working hard to change their circumstances.
