Tanya has managed to combine her comprehensive training as a skilled esthetician, along with a holistic approach to skin care treatments. Treatments are highly personalized and holistic and designed to nurture the body, mind and the soul, making Europa a haven to be cleansed, enriched and energized…to experience bliss. Europa has assembled a “dream team” of stylists, featuring world-renowned stylists and an American Board Certified Hair Colorist. Europa stylists are constantly perfecting the art and science of nurturing their clients and dedicate every effort to providing the very best experience possible for clients.

They look very natural, and customers usually say they can’t even feel them, she says.The lashes can be as long as you want, from your own length, to “Pamela Anderson” super long. If you aren’t sure which services to buy, try a gift card that lets the recipient choose. All in all, spa experts say, this is one gift where you can’t miss. “People tend not to self-indulge. They see the spa experience as a luxury, not a necessity,” Plusquellec says. “With all the stress of our lifestyle and the increased focus on wellness we like to see it as a necessity.”▲

Pick a Plumb Want glamorous accessories but not something a million other women already own? Keep reading! Opt for a Plumb cocktail ring designed by Cory Plumb.The designer handpicks each stone and creates pieces evocative of the grand jewels of the past in 18k yellowor-white gold settings. For high impact glitz, choose the “Simba” ($5,800) or “Widow”($6,800) rings. Billy Joel’s wife, Katie Lee, was shining at her wedding reception in Plum. Call 401-846-3681 www.plumbjewelry.com.

Dream of Jean-IE Long revered as the fashion insider’s choice for premium denim, Hudson rocketed to international fame through high-profile admirers like Jessica Simpson, Angelina Jolie, and Jude Law. Exuding the “gorgeous and gritty” look London and its fashion icons are known for, Hudson jeans are superflattering, accentuating the derriére (not that I need it!) and lengthening the line of the leg (always a good thing). It’s a must-have jean! Available at Saks Fifth Avenue.

Big Red When it comes to Porsche, there’s just no substitute. But if a two-seater doesn’t suit your lifestyle, I suggest getting the best of both worlds by grabbing the wheel of the new Porsche SUV, the Cayenne S Titanium edition ($64,900).This sleek V-8 has a two-tone interior that’s bound to turn heads. Get it in “pure red” – you may have kids, but you’re not dead.

Bark without the Bite Glamour isn’t only what we wear – it’s also how we take care of ourselves. Beautifully maintained hands are a must when wearing those sparkly vintage bracelets and gem-studded rings we love. Pamper you hands with Protective Hand Treatment/AM with Aspen Tree Bark ($28). A soothing cream that’s highly emollient and extremely hydrating, it has no greasy residue. It provides a protective barrier and evens out the skin tone, slowly diminishing dark spots and keeping hands looking younger longer. Call 800-423-6335. 40

new year’s eve style

by ellen schur brown photography by beth segal makeup for alla and galina by ben karlin

GROWING up in the Soviet Union, New Year’s Eve wasn’t just the best holiday – it was the only holiday! Religious celebrations were outlawed, and it was hard to get enthusiastic about Soviet Army Day. Our Soviet jstyle models remember New Year’s Eve celebrations from years past: extravagant dinner parties, drinking vodka, singing and dancing until dawn. And of course, everyone wore their best clothes. To try something new for New Year’s Eve: • bliS & American Crafts Gallery, 216-231-2008 • Lisa Moran, 216-464-0800 • Joss, 440-247-8883 • Toni, 440-893-7000

Elena Kovshovik was born in Mosty, Belarus, where New Year’s Eve celebrations meant the best Champagne and black caviar. Today, Elena lives in Medina and works for Saks Fifth Avenue. For a party at home, she’ll wear French Laundry grey embroidered slacks, $270; French Laundry crisp, white pleated blouse, $170 from Lisa Moran.

IT ALL STARTED with the TV. Teresa and Keith Lichtscien wanted a bigger screen and there wasn’t enough room for one in their Solon home’s family room. But, if they broke through a wall and stretched the house out into the backyard, they could create a larger, more accomodating TV space. And with one major wall coming down, heck, why not

“Meredith’s cottage of dreams,” a sign hanging behind the gauzy canopy over the bed, aptly describes this bedroom straight out of a fairy tale.

reinvent the whole house, they reasoned. That was four years ago. With a 2,000-square-foot addition, the Lichtsciens created a home that accommodates their new TV, as well as a host of other needs. The couple built their original house 14 years ago, before their children Sam, 12, and Meredith, 9, were born. It began as a fine house on a lot they liked with neighbors they enjoyed and a school system that served them well. So moving did not hold any appeal. They drafted a 25-item wish list of improvements for their builder Ron Myers, including a mud room, music room, more coat closets downstairs, hearth room, expanded family room, walk-in pantry and an enlarged kitchen with an island big enough for people to sit around. On the list for the upstairs was a sitting room with a fireplace adjoining the master bedroom, a kids’ study, and a full bathroom off their son’s bedroom.

Rich wood paneling lines the walls of the music room included in the addition.

The original house combined with the new construction added up to a grand total of 5,800 square feet, not including the basement which grew in size, too. Merging and blending everything seamlessly, both on the interior and exterior, presented the greatest design challenges. “We were skeptical, but once we saw the plans, it was hard to say no,� says Keith, owner of Resource Strategies Inc. in Pepper Pike, a high-end investment management, financial and estate planning firm. When construction began, the family chose to stay in the house, believing it would be the least disruptive way to approach the yearlong project. This required hunkering down in the basement. They hoped to witness the progress up close and to make decisions on the fly. They also wanted the chance to demonstrate to themselves how well they could live a Spartan existence, further intensified by noise, workers and some draftiness.

The former family room, just outside the kitchen, became a cozy hearth room. 102

Adding additional space to a home puts extra strain on the heating and cooling system, so a separate system is installed to heat and cool the sunroom. These units are higher-end versions of those used in hotel rooms. Depending on the room’s layout, units can be built into walls. The glass used in sunrooms is also part of the room’s insulation. It is designed to circulate heat in winter and keep the room cool in summer. Homeowners should install sunroom windows that carry the Energy Star rating, a US Department of Energy rating that relates to heat loss, says Brad Gorman, president of Marvin Design Gallery. Good warranties are essential, as is knowing who will service the glass and other parts. Construction of a sunroom generally ranges from a few weeks to a few months.

Aside from enhancing the children’s fine and gross motor skills, the program has additional advantages, explains CHABAM owner and founder Jim Levine. “Being able to keep the rhythms and beats is good for their cognitive skills. Being ‘onstage,’ interracting with their own peers, is great for social skills development, too.” Dr. Art Lavin, who has been interested in the effects of music on people since he was a youngster himself, says there is something very positive about great music. “There’s not a soul who has not been moved by (its) power.”

manischewitz cook-off by arlene fine

WHY is the Simply Manischewitz Cook-Off different from all other cookoffs? Because two of the semi-finalists are our hometown cooks, Bonnie Goldfarb and Bonnie Myers. Both women entered the contest on a lark when Goldfarb saw the announcement in the CJN asking for original kosher recipes. “That same day I ran into Bonnie Myers, who is known for her great cooking, and I said, ‘Let’s give this a shot,’” says the Beachwood resident. Myers, 55, put on her apron and went through the scores of recipes she keeps in her well-stocked Lyndhurst kitchen. She knew her luscious Rice Noodle Casserole was a winner and met the quick-and-easy contest rules. Meanwhile Goldfarb, 54, who won the CJN’s kugel cookoff 10 years ago, was ready to use her noodle again to create an original prize-winning recipe. She submitted 20 succulent entries, but leading the pack

From the thousands of entries submitted by cooks across the country, they were among the 30 contestants who made it to the semifinals. When Goldfarb’s mother, Harriette Brudner, heard the good news, she threw up her hands in delight. “Who would have thought!” she marveled. Brudner really shouldn’t have been that surprised. For years, Goldfarb, a revenue services specialist at University Hospitals, has been experimenting with a variety of recipes she cooks for her husband Lenny and her children Amy Filzer and Brian Goldfarb.

She, like her late mother, Millie Brown, joins a family tradition of excellent cooks. Her husband Monroe and children, Brian, Steve and Amy are her biggest fans. “I’m not afraid to experiment with new dishes; this Rosh Hashanah I made a brisket in a slow cooker, and it was the best yet,” she says.

“Just like my grandmother, I have always enjoyed cooking,” says Goldfarb. “I’m not afraid to experiment when I don’t have the exact ingredients, especially in meatloaf and sauces.” Another reason for her tasty, healthy fare, says Goldfarb, is that many of the vegetables she uses in her stews, soups, breads and casseroles come directly from her garden. “In late summer, when my zucchini crop comes in, I make a 138
