International Women’s Day
Women’s History Month A moment of recognition March is Women’s History Month, marked by International Women’s Day on March 8. Sometimes, as women, it is hard to remember that we are defined by so much more than our size, the way we wear our hair, and if we wear the right makeup. What defines us, and what actually matters is something much deeper. It is our desire to make a positive change in our own lives and the lives of others. It is our willingness to listen when we need to and lead with our hearts when the opportunity arises. Last year, we highlighted some extraordinary local women in our magazine and on our website for our 100th issue. We feel fortunate to work with and live alongside those women, and look forward to a future that is better because of them. Throughout the year, we will continue to introduce you to women in our area doing amazing things. After all, our publication is a celebration of you, our readers—the things that inspire you, make you healthy, and confident to pursue your dreams. We want to encourage you to reach out to the women in your life who have helped you achieve your goals or simply gave you a shoulder to cry on when times were tough. Take your mother, sister, or friend out to lunch. Remind someone you care by sending them chocolate or flowers if you cannot meet up with them. And if none of these are an option, call them or send them a text to let them know you care. We all need that every once in a while. On that note, we would like to take the opportunity to recognize one important woman who has influenced each of our lives. Narrowing it down to one was hard—we have all known some very incredible ladies! We hope this inspires you to share a photo of yourself and a woman you would like to recognize with us by emailing editorial@ beckmediagroup.com. We may give you a shout out on our Facebook page! w w w. l o v e l y b e l l a . c o m
Danielle: “My aunt Mollie
has been the most influential woman in my life. She is a selfless and beautiful person whom I hope to be like someday. Because of her, I know how to garden, stay strong, and love. And she was the first person to make me realize my beauty and capabilities.”
Cheryl: “I know I have
tried to model myself after my parents in many ways because I think they have done many things right. The way I live my life has been influenced by them; my faith, my hard work and determination. The simple values of life such as love, goodness, sympathy, and respect for others.”
Joey: “Valerie became
my “big sister” when I turned 12 as part of the Big Brother, Big Sister program. With no mother figure in my life, she became that and so much more. Today, we remain the best of friends. Even though we live miles apart— and through husbands, children, careers and daily lives—our friendship is stronger than ever.” march 2015

We are kind of obsessed with beets. Some of us may have decided to start growing them in our gardens this year, because we spend a LOT of money on them at the grocery store. That’s why, when we stumbled upon this recipe from Minimalist Baker, we knew we had struck gold. Even if you are skeptical, you should give this a try—we think you will fall in love just as quickly as we did! march 2015

Bella Eats
smokey black bean beet burger 3/4 cup cooked quinoa 1/2 large red onion, finely diced (about 3/4 cup) 1 cup finely chopped mushrooms (shitake, baby bella or white button) Salt & Pepper 1 15-ounce can black beans, well rinsed and drained 1 cup finely grated raw beet 1 tsp cumin 1/2 tsp chili powder (or sub extra cumin) 1/4 tsp smoked paprika 1/2 cup raw walnuts, crushed or ground into a loose meal
Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat and add some nonstick spray or a bit of olive oil. Once hot, add the onion and sauté, seasoning with a pinch each salt and pepper. When the onions are soft (about 5 minutes) turn up the heat to medium and add the mushrooms. Season with another pinch of salt and pepper and cook until the mushrooms and onions are slightly browned and fragrant (about 3 minutes). Remove from heat and add black beans and mash. You’re looking for a rough mash, so you can leave a bit of texture if you want. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and add the quinoa, beets, spices and stir. For even more flavor, add a shake of vegan Worcestershire or A-1 sauce (optional). Lastly, add the walnut meal a little at a time until the mixture is able enough to form into patties. Set in the fridge to chill while your oven preheats to 375 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with nonstick spray or olive oil. Form mixture into roughly 8-9 patties. The thicker you make them, the longer they’ll take to cook through, but the “juicier” and heartier they’ll be! Thinner patties will cook faster. Arrange burgers on a baking sheet and brush or spray the tops with olive oil. Bake at 375 for a total of 30-45 minutes, gently flipping at the halfway mark. Cook longer to dry them out even more and achieve more crisp, but it’s not necessary. Serve on small buns or atop mixed greens with desired toppings.

Warm Weather & Unwanted Houseguests
Cheryl’s Pest Defense to the rescue!
Spring is right around the corner! Unfortunately, with the promise of warmer weather comes the threat of insects making their way into our homes. Ant season has already started, and they are often accompanied by termites and roaches. Although it may seem more economical to take care of these pesky unwanted visitors on your own, it could end up costing you more in the long run if your attempts are unsuccessful. The same is true for those awful stink bugs, bees, and any other insect that sneaks into our homes. Most people do not realize that when something flies it is nearly impossible to eliminate it completely. Fortunately, Cheryl Albert, of Cheryl’s Pest Defense, has the solution to eliminating these unwanted visitors. One of the only female-owned and operated extermination companies in the Roanoke Valley, Cheryl’s Pest Defense offers free inspections to homeowners. Cheryl has been an exterminator for twenty years, and her experience has taught her a lot about the pests that annoy us the most. For example, people may begin to see termite “swarmers” in their homes in the spring. Once this happens, it is too late. You will need to get the problem taken care of professionally. Termite swarmers are reproductive only, but they come from a colony that does damage. By the time you see them, there are many more that are covertly causing destruction to your home. Instead of buying the chemical-laden products and trying to tackle the problem yourself, it is wise to call and get a free inspection to see what professional extermination will cost. Also, many homeowners fear the methods in which exterminators will eliminate their pests. However, those methods have changed over the years. w w w. l o v e l y b e l l a . c o m
“The chemicals that we work with are safe and not considered restricted use chemicals,” Cheryl explains. “Not only are they safer, but we mainly apply them outside. We also apply them to areas of the home where bugs will enter and live like unfinished basements, bathrooms, and garages. This way, families have less exposure to the chemicals.” She goes on to say that most of the chemicals she uses are waterbased or baits and are applied in voids, cracks and crevices. They are not airborne, so they are not out in the open for animals and children to be breathing. Protecting your family is a priority for Cheryl. Years ago, she lost her sister to ovarian cancer. It was one of the most important reasons she started her own business. “She never got to live her life,” says Cheryl. “I worked for a big company before she died, and they run you crazy. After she passed away I decided that I would go out on my own.” To honor her sister, Cheryl chose teal as the predominate color for her business because it represents ovarian cancer awareness. We love Cheryl’s story, but we also love her track record of great service. If you are faced with pesky insects in your home this spring, give her a call. Remember, once you see the insects, the problem may be worse than it appears. A professional can assess the situation and actually save you money (and a lot of headaches) in the long run. To schedule your free inspection, call 540-293-4176.

Skincare Tricks Keep your skin glowing
by staying active
:
f
For some, chillier weather can decrease the likelihood of sticking to a consistent workout routine. Spring is right around the corner, but we still have a few tough chilly days ahead of us. Luckily, there are plenty of small changes one can make to ensure that staying active during short winter days and long nights remains a priority. Not only does exercise benefit physical and mental well-being, but it also has a positive effect on the look and feel of skin. Celebrity fitness trainer Kacy Duke’s motto for staying active is “movement is a privilege.” She firmly believes that colder weather is no excuse to press pause on one’s workout routine. Duke is well-versed in the positive impact that physical fitness can have on one’s complexion. She shares her tips for how anyone can stay active and ultimately keep their skin glowing.
Make it a habit
Duke advises clients to get into the habit of working out now. “Push yourself by setting unrealistic goals that you think you may not be able to achieve,” she says. “In other words-- think big to win big, so even if you fall a little short, you’re still ahead of the game and on your way to locking in a healthy exercise habit.”
Lean on friends
Switch out happy hour drinks for fitness outings with friends so that being active becomes a social activity. Plan to run a 5 kilometer race with a friend or schedule a weekly spin class together so that all parties are held accountable. “I recently created my ‘Girlfriend Training Sessions’ and ‘Bromance Workout Sessions’ so that girls and guys can work with me in a small,

semi-private group setting and bond over a great workout and healthy sweat rather than calorie-packed cocktails,” says Duke. Fitness won’t feel like a chore once it’s enjoyed in a social setting.
Remember the skin-loving benefits
Exercise increases blood flow and helps flush cellular debris out of the system. Plus, exercise tones muscles and reduces stress, all of which contributes to an improved overall appearance. At the end of any movement session, make facial cleansing a can’t-miss step to remove sweat and remaining traces of makeup. Try products that have no dyes, artificial perfumes or harsh chemicals that can upset skin, such as facial wipes that refresh with one step (no rinsing required) and are ideal for packing in gym bags. As sleeping in makeup can increase likelihood of skin sensitivity, irritation and dullness, follow Duke’s advice: “Washing one’s face post-workout and before bed ensures what I like to call a ‘No Makeup Wakeup’—so you can start the day with naturally healthy-looking skin.” Visit our website, www.lovelybella.com, for more great tips on keeping your skin (and your entire body) healthy this year! w w w. l o v e l y b e l l a . c o m
The best place to keep your perfume is in a dark place away from direct light, heat and humidity. Some may think we should keep it in the refrigerator because it’s dark and cool. While keeping it away from heat is definitely important, perfume is best stored close to room temperature, so the fridge is a little too cold. A lot of women keep their perfume somewhere in the bathroom—on a counter or medicine cabinet shelf. But the humidity from the showers we take can break down the fragrance so it’s best to store your perfume in another room. When in doubt, a dresser drawer in your bedroom usually is great!

Skincando’s Combat-Ready product line Spring is approaching, and that means so are pesky bug bites and sunburns. Fortunately, Skincando has a solution. The company began when founder and ecofacialist, Sara Damelio, set out to fix her own problem skin. She created the line of 100 percent organic skincare products from the purest and cleanest ingredients. She also created Operation Sand Flea, a not-for-profit branch under Skincando that donates a portion of products to members of the US Military. Their Combat-Ready line is great for your lips and skin, but it is also perfect for calming and soothing the incessant sand flea bites, sunburn, and dry skin faced by our military. Not only does Skincando donate products towards this cause, but they also provide an option for their customers to purchase and send Combat-Ready kits to soldiers overseas. Visit www.skincando.com for more information and to purchase your Combat-Ready kit before spring arrives!

Sticking to Your Goals
Keeping the momentum with New Year’s resolutions It doesn’t take long to run out of steam with New Year’s resolutions. According to research, less than eight percent of Americans actually stick to one. We start off strong with goals and aspirations, but soon, the excitement turns into work and weeks later, frustration with the whole process. Most people throw their hands in the air and move on, remaining in the same routine year after year. The problem lies not in the goal, but the planning and execution. New Year’s resolutions, an American tradition, represent a desire to make positive changes. Most resolutions are worthy—losing weight, eating better, saving money or spending time with family. Even resolutions made with the best of intentions are difficult to maintain without proper planning, consistent thought and encouragement from others. A few simple steps can make all the difference:
Consider the past. Looking at and listing the past year’s accomplishments and deficiencies help identify patterns and room for improvement. Think of this list as the building block for resolution planning.
Narrow the list. After formulating a list of resolutions, really give each one real thought. The resolution success rate is so low often because resolutions are made on the fly without deep study.
Write them out. It’s important to have final resolutions written out to review them periodically. Consider it a contract with yourself to maintain your commitment. Remember to write out the action steps necessary to complete your resolution. If you want to lose weight, jot down your plan, including exercising daily, eating whole foods and drinking water instead of sodas.

Seek accountability. Share your res-
olution with someone close to you. Now it’s just you working towards it, but someone else cares about you sticking to the plan.
Be mindful. This is one of the keys to
making a lasting resolution and seeing it through. Put a prompt in key places – your computer, alarm clock or dashboard— for daily reminders.
Connect with others. In this case, the old adage, “birds of a feather flock together,” works. Surround yourself with positive people striving towards the same goals. Strive for balance. There is a fine line between being mindful of your resolution and obsessing over it. Have compassion on yourself if you slip up. This is a marathon not a sprint.
Spot check each other. Whether it’s
a phone call or a text message, check in with your accountability partner to see how you are doing. Mix in humor to take some of the pressure off.
Remember your why. Above all,
never lose track of why you made the resolution and how your life will be different by keeping it. This is about positive growth. One good decision will lead to another good decision and positive change will happen. march 2015

To Eat or Not to Eat?
d
Do you reach for comfort foods or junk food when you’re stressed? You know you shouldn’t, but you probably feel you need something to help you during that intense period. With a few tips from culinary experts, you can cut the cravings and find healthy ways to manage nutrition during stressful times. “In moments of stress, people tend to reach for foods they know, sometimes even favorite foods from childhood. It is certainly not a time when we choose to experiment,” says Chef Odette Smith-Ransome. If traveling, you may often search for a familiar restaurant or fast food place. It’s easier to reach for food that you know because it provides a level of comfort to balance out the uncomfortable moments of stress. Chef Christine Neugebauer advises to pack your own beverages. By doing this, you can choose water, green tea and non-sugary juices. She also warns against hotels’ continental breakfasts. Be careful what you choose, because a small meal like yogurt or an orange may be all you need. Choosing a smaller plate will also prevent you from filling up on extra calories. It all comes down to food choices where stress and food are concerned. When stressed, you are more likely to make a quick, bad choice. “Make sure when you shop you buy healthier foods. So when you need something, that is what you are going to eat,” says Neugebauer. “The vicious cycle of guilt regarding our eating habits steps in and worsens the current stress situation,” Smith-Ransome says. “Add guilt to the situation, and the stress levels increase—compounding the problem.” Smith-Ransome warns that when stressed, one should stay away from caffeine and sugar. It’s easy to grab an energy drink or a candy bar because they’re accessible and in every convenience and drug store in America. Once the rush is gone from sugary, caffeine-packed foods, you’re facing a crash unless you continue to eat and drink to keep your body in the high. Continuing to eat and drink these products will compound the situation even more because you then become sleep-deprived, which raises the levels of anxiety and slows you down. The best way to attack bad eating choices during a moment of stress page 22 | bella magazine | march 2015
Expert tips to curb food cravings during times of stress is to maintain your body and mind at equilibrium. Before an important interview, presentation or exam, try eating whole foods and complete meals, and forget about the bag of cookies. While these satiate the appetite at the moment, it certainly won’t keep your blood-sugar levels stable, making it difficult to cope with your initial problem: high stress. Neugebauer recommends packing a snack or eating a healthy meal that will last, and small meals throughout the day keep you from getting hungry. It takes 20 minutes for your stomach to communicate with your mind that you are full. Neugebauer emphasizes the importance of drinking water when gauging your hunger level. She says, “Sometimes you think you’re hungry and you’re not. If you drink some water, then you may not be hungry anymore.” By making informed, careful food choices during times of stress, you can help ensure what you eat doesn’t add extra calories, fat and poor nutrition to your worries. w w w. l o v e l y b e l l a . c o m

The millennial Gardener Learning from the Experts
One of my favorite memories from childhood is green bean harvest season at my grandparents’ house. If you all are familiar with our favorite country girl, Stacey Rae, you already know we have a soft spot in our hearts for farmers and gardeners. For me, the connection started long before I met Bella’s Botetourt Belle. My grandparents have tended their garden for longer than I have been on this earth. From tomatoes and cucumbers to cantaloupes and green beans—we, as a family, have enjoyed the fruits of their labor year-round for decades. As a child, there were usually a couple of weeks in the summer when the three of us sat around their eat-in kitchen, surrounded by plastic bags full of beans that we picked earlier in the day. We would string and break beans until our fingers ached. Intermittently, my grandmother got up and visited the stove to can what we prepared. Between cooking homemade meals every afternoon and canning vegetables in the evening, she spent more time standing in that kitchen than I ever remember spending on my feet— even during an eight hour retail shift. Now, I’m not going to broadcast my grandmother’s age for everyone—mostly because I want to live to see the end of the summer. For the sake of this story, I can tell you that twenty years have passed since I remember breaking my first green bean. Still, you can find her standing over that stove throughout the year. And my grandpa, with a few less hairs, still sits in his corner of the same kitchen, breaking and stringing beans while he watches the news. Despite the fact that they now tackle this monumental task on their own, they hand out canned green beans to our family like acquiring them was as easy as going to the grocery store and filling up their cart. Now, dear reader, please understand that there are not words to describe how much I love my grandparents. Maybe it is my youth, my immaturity, or the very nature of the impatient culture that surrounds us, but I will admit that I have not helped with their green bean harvest in a long time. They haven’t asked for my help, and I’ve let the opportunity pass by. But this year is different. As a new homeowner, I’ll have my own garden for the first time—and boy, I have a lot to learn. I could look on the internet or visit the library for answers. However, as cheesy as it sounds, I’m pretty sure that my grandma sprinkles magic in her green beans. The only way mine will ever taste half as good as hers do is if I learn from the genius herself. So, if we are able to harvest our own crop, we will. Regardless, this year you will find me surrounded by green beans, listening to my grandpa sing, and earning those jars they disperse so freely. Because the only thing better than enjoying the fruits of my labor throughout the seasons that follow are the memories we make in their kitchen.

Sometimes we need a reminder to be present and truly enjoy the lives we are living—without the constant fluttering of vibrating phones and the glow of iPad screens. This month, we are obsessed with products that have the potential to inspire and connect us with old and new friends (the old fashioned way!). Here are some of our favorites:
Have you always wanted to learn how to knit or crochet? Maybe you already know the basics, but going to the craft store is a chore. Or, you have a friend or family member that loves to knit and you have no idea what they need to complete a project. Fortunately, We are Knitters has you covered. You can buy everything from needles and balls of yarn to an entire knitting kit (that includes a pattern) for beginners, intermediate, and advanced knitters. www.weareknitters.com w w w. l o v e l y b e l l a . c o m
