LIFE @ BRIO

September 28th, National Good Neighbor Day!

Lifestyle Update

Tara Holm Lifestyle Director

Johnston Community Manager

In September the days are getting shorter, we are getting comfortable with our new routines, and everyone comes closer to home and looks forward to the fall months ahead. This summer was a fun-filled three months and so busy if you were a grandparent, candidate running for the board, or just a naturalist! Hats off to the Red Rockers who hiked every week but one in the sizzling summer months! The service club has people volunteering and keeps the meals and food bank supplied with volunteers. We have poolside parties two months out of this summer that will turn into three next summer they have been such a success. We have had concerts, classes, parades, and foodie events! What a way to end the summer!

Thank you to the nomination Committee, Terry Nelson, Sue Ritz, Victoria Winspear, and Gary Brouse.

Our candidate meeting was a tremendous success with a very full room of people wanting to hear from the fifteen running candidates. They have been through a series of training from PMP of Board Member responsibilities, so they are ready to dive in.

Our one-year anniversary with PMP (Property Management Professionals) is complete and we as management staff have learned so much. We have constant training and the help of SunRiver people every day. We have come so far in tools and equipment for the office, and in turn we have been able to set goals and accomplish major tasks. With the Fob Audit we have attached 300 pictures (if you have not sent us a picture please do so!) to your Fob so we can get to know you better and ensure greater security. We have added the lot numbers with addresses and personal information to Vantaca the new PMP system. Constant Contact has been updated so you can receive the magazine, both through email and hard copy that comes to your mailbox! The magazine has Brio contributors, and the pictures are stunning thanks to Will Andrea, professional photographer. The Brio contributors include Mr Foodie by Andy Margles, EWC by Larry Silverman, and Keith Benson who teaches us each month about how to stay young and use our equipment in the gym for our benefit! Our exercise classes increased from two to nine every single week! Halee has started out this year with Jazzercise and we hope to continue this work-out on Wednesdays. Jeanne and Nicole said we are getting so much stronger than we were a year ago! Hyrum planned and executed the first Brio Pickleball tournament and is planning a second one this fall; it was incredibly fun for our Pickleball players. Marianne has the largest class of all with water-aerobics, water and age go together! Sandy has helped make the line dancers of Brio famous and you will get a sample of that this month. Have you visited You Tube? Our Brio line dancers have smashed the internet with how good they are with well-known Eric Dodge. Our clubs have increased by five this year and we are constantly busier than ever with reservations on the weekends. Brio is changing but we are a community that cares about one another. With this new Board in place, we will vast differences in our CC&R’s and Rules and Regulations. I have never worked under a homeowner board, I have always worked under a builder owned board, I am excited to see the committees form and more people get involved than ever before. We all purchased homes here for a reason. What can you do in this community? What is your part?

In the fall months we will end this year with staggering goals that are met and managed. Appreciation for all we have in this community needs to be expressed first, for those that do their part, and help in any way they can to make Brio a wonderful place to live!

Treating and prepping skin is the most important part to having a beautiful makeup look. Each person’s skin is very different and requires specially curated skincare items to treat and protect. When we are young (teens-late twenties) we should be balancing our skin PH Levels, preventing over exposure to sun, and building/ protecting our skins moisture barriers. All these things lead to premature and advanced aging.

Through our thirties and forties, we should be worrying about preventing fine-lines, and wrinkles. Still ensuring to protect our skin from harmful sun damage.

This continues for the rest of our lives, but as we age, we want to maintain and promote collagen levels, reduce dark spots, and strengthen moisture barriers.

Simple things we can all do to ensure our skin is beautiful for makeup is to wash our face, use a high-quality hyaluronic acidbased moisturizer (which can have additional benefits), wear our sunscreen EVERY DAY and take off our makeup at night.

Foundations:

The right foundation or makeup base is essential to make your skin look beautiful and bright. I am sure all of us have gotten a bad foundation match- it can be one of the hardest things to get right and can take several attempts to find the best shade.

In addition- we live in a beautiful bright sunny place, meaning our foundation shades are likely to change season to season which is why a lot of people find themselves having multiple shades of foundation sitting at home. Foundations are made from a mix of blue, red, yellow, and white or black pigments. Depending on how warm or cool your skin tone is, it will reflect how much blue, red and yellow pigments are in your foundation. And how light or dark your complexion is will determine how much black or white pigment is used.

There are a few things you can do to easily tell what your undertone is.

If you are warm....

Your skin tans easily

You look “peachy” when wearing white Your veins appear more green than blue, you look better in gold jewelry

If you are neutral....

Your sun burn will turn into a tan

You look good in silver or gold jewelry; you look the same when wearing white

If you are cool....

You sun burn easily

You look rosy when wearing white, you look best in silver jewelry and your veins appear more blue than green.

Eyes:

We each have vastly different eye shapes. Depending on what shape yours are will determine where you place your eyeshade. Ideally, most women want to accomplish an almond eye shaped. Think Audrey Hepburn, Kate Winslet, Anne Hathaway, or Kim Kardashian. The eyes are elongated and wide in the middle and you can see most of the eyelids. But all eye shapes are beautiful and applying eyeshadow to your eyes does not have to be a challenge.

Highlighting shade (lightest color) under your eyebrows. Crease shade (medium color) on your eye lid crease line. Deepening shade (darkest color) closer to your eye lashes. Follow with simple eyeliner and mascara.

What is

a Sound Bath Meditation

and Why is it so Popular?

Contrary to belief, a sound bath meditation doesn’t involve listening to music in the bath, although this too can be very relaxing! Sound baths are guided meditations that use notes at repetitive frequencies to direct focus and aid relaxation. The sounds are created from crystal bowls, gongs, and gemstone bowls. Sound baths are a meditative experience in which participants are ‘bathed’ in sound. Those practicing meditation generally lie on their backs on a mat, allowing the sound to wash over them. The result is a deep meditative state, and a whole host of benefits to your mental and physical wellbeing.

Benefits of a Sound Bath Meditation Sound meditations have a range of benefits. Tuning into a specific sound is extremely relaxing, as the noise and vibrations will allow you to distance yourself from distracting thoughts or worries. You will have a heightened sense of awareness of the world around you, which can lead to a greater sense of peace. It is also thought that the benefits of sound baths stretch as far as physical healing. Sound therapy uses waves and vibrations that move through the body. This activates alpha and theta brain waves to bring you into a deeply peaceful meditative state. Reaching this level of relaxation can lower both your blood pressure and your heart rate. A sound bath meditation offers a worry-free and safe environment where you can switch off from the pressures of the outside world and relax fully.

Is Sound Bath Meditation for Me? Like many ancient practices, getting started can be intimidating. But sound bath meditations offer incredible benefits for about anyone, and they can be practiced at any time of the day for any length of time. Ah meditation is fantastic practice for those who find it difficult to meditate. While some meditations can be tricky, requiring an intricate focus on a certain body part or breathing technique, sound bath meditations are more passive. The meditator is ‘bathed’ in sound, and all you must do is let yourself succumb to the vibrations. You will find yourself captivated by the sound, which will then soothe your entire body.

SW Utah Restaurant Reviews

“All the news that’s fit to eat”

By Andy Margles

Although I love Asian food, I’ve never been a big ramen guy. I had eaten it several times, both from a box and in restaurants, but have always found the broth pretty bland and the whole dish kinda “meh”. However, when I read consistently great reviews of Soul Ramen & Noodle Bar, I dragged Mrs. Foodie along and drove to their new location for a weekend lunch.

Now located in the Phoenix Plaza, at 929 W Sunset Blvd., #12, SG, Soul Ramen is open daily for lunch and dinner. It’s a family owned and run operation, with the husband preparing the food and his wife running the front of the house. The interior is funky-cute and service is tableside. Beer is served, with wine in the future. They also have several fresh-fruited ice teas and lemonades, which were flavorful and delicious.

I ordered the Black Garlic Ramen, a concoction with a chicken-pork-Tonkotsu broth, wavy ramen noodles, black garlic oil, greens, mushrooms, green onions, a soft- boiled egg and marinated pork belly. After I took my very first slurp of the broth, I already knew I had to review it. The taste was like an Umami bomb, just bursting with flavor! Although it was plenty to eat, I finished every drop. The waiter, who stopped by to see if we were enjoying our meal, actually laughed when he saw my already empty bowl which looked as if someone(?) had licked it dry.

Mrs. Foodie, who does not eat pork, had a little harder time ordering, since several of the offerings use that same porkchicken-Tonkotsu broth. However, there was a Spicy Tom Yum Seafood Ramen that sounded really good to her. That soup uses a shrimp broth with chili paste and evaporated milk and includes ramen, greens, green onions, shrimp, calamari, mussels and scallops. My wife’s seafood was tender and the broth was spicy and flavorful. I enjoyed her ramen almost as much as my own.

Although we did not try them, there were several other dishes that looked interesting. About a dozen appetizers are on the menu, including BBQ chashu buns, cold spicy garlic tofu and squid balls. Eleven ramen dishes are featured. Included are the earlier mentioned ones, plus a delicious veggie miso and a zesty spicy curry, both of which we enjoyed on a second visit. In addition, the same recipes can be made with Udon noodles or hot pots using Crossing Bridge rice noodles. Lastly, there is a pastry dessert called a “Snow Puffy”, which looks sort of like a Napoleon.

Verdict: Although a little late to the ramen revolution, I now consider myself a converted “soul man”. Soul Ramen & Noodles rocks and it has changed my opinion of this dish. With incredibly flavorful soup, large portions, reasonable prices and a nice staff, SR&N deserves your business. If you already like ramen, are lukewarm about it, or have never even tried it: DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND TRY SOUL RAMEN & NOODLES.

National Good Neighbor Day ~ Sept. 28th

National Good Neighbor Day!

It’s National Good Neighbor Day on September 28. On this day, we do fun activities to bond with our neighboring families. It’s a great way to break the ice and build long-lasting relationships for community development.

HISTORY OF NATIONAL GOOD NEIGHBOR DAY

Good-neighborliness defines how pleasant and comfortable our neighborhood is — neighbors can make or break your experience of living in an area. Being a good neighbor helps us build solid and long-lasting relationships. Neighbors are like umbrellas on a rainy day, lending a helping hand in times of emergency.

Previous generations tended to engage their neighbors in a lot of activities. They invited them to parties and balls, went riding with them, worked on their farms, invited them over for dinner, and took care of their homes whenever they went away. Nowadays, with busy schedules and technological advancements, we never really care much about or show interest in the family next door. This is why people live next to each other for years and still aren’t familiar.

National Good Neighbor Day was first celebrated in the early 1970s by Becky Mattson who wanted to connect with her neighbors in Montana. It officially became a holiday in 1978, when President Jimmy Carter signed a proclamation to establish the holiday. A resolution was passed by the Senate, as it was recognized that there was little meaningful communication among people and there was a need to bring them together for them to interact with one another. The Senate believed human values and consideration for others were essential to the system of civilization; and decided that being good neighbors to those around us was the first step toward human understanding. Thus, a fixed date was set for Good Neighbor Day. Now, we celebrate National Good Neighbor Day on September 28, taking special time to care for our neighbors and form or maintain friendships.

My Life of Line Dance

I started line dancing in the fall of 1995. I was coaxed by a friend to just try it once. I was very skeptical about even going because I didn’t know what it was all about and I wasn’t sure I could even do it let alone like it. I danced that first night and I was so confused about learning so many steps and so many dances and my mind was numb by the end of the 3 -hour class. I just decided that was enough for me. However, I found it amazing that so many students were so good at line dancing. It made me wonder, could I? Should I? Maybe one more time? That was the start of 28 years of line dancing,teaching and choreographing my own dances.

I have taught in many places such as : The Elk’s, Dixie College, Cross Creek, Washington County Rec., St. George Rec. Center, St. George Senior Center, Winter Haven, Entrada, many of the churches, private parties, and of course Brio. I started teaching at Brio two years ago and started a second class , BASIC BEGINNER’S, a year ago for those with little or no experience in line dancing. You can view some of our videos on YouTube as well as Copperknob.co.uk. The BRIO LINERS are some of the most talented and amazing dancers I’ve had the privilege of teaching. EVERYONE starts out as a BASIC BEGINNER. Come join our BRIO LINERS CLUB.

You can find the dances I’ve choreographed over the years on YouTube as well as Copperknob.co.uk. I did all of this while holding down a 40 hour a week job. I did retire in 2013 and Line Dancing is and always will be my life. I live to dance and teach line dance and choreographing my own dances is just something I can’t help. ( Please Subscribe, like and share on my YouTube channel and View and Vote for my dances on Copperkob.co.uk. )

COME DANCE WITH ME every Monday from 9:30-11:00 and every Thursday ( Basic Beginner’s Class) from 9:00-10:30.

The Hiking Club

Fellow Adventurers:

The next hike for “The Hiking Club” (THC) is scheduled for Saturday September 9. Our destination is Red Reef Trail in the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve--our traditional first of the season hike. There is a $5 per vehicle entrance fee and no permit is necessary.

This approximately three miles round trip hike is along Quail Creek to colorful Water Canyon with waterfalls and swimming holes--very nice. The hike should take about two hours at a leisurely pace. The trailhead elevation is approximately 3,200 feet with 200 feet elevation gain from the trailhead to the highest point of the hike. I rate this hike as easy with no difficult sections.

It is easy access to the trailhead in a standard vehicle. We will meet for the pre-hike meeting in front of the Brio clubhouse (directions attached) at 9:00 am. I encourage everyone to “like” The Hiking Club Facebook page. It is a easy way for us to communicate and share our hiking experiences and photos. Post some photos of our hike. Here is the link: https://www.facebook.com/ TheHikingClubsouthernUtah/

I have attached my published story describing Red Reef Trail. The article contains directions to the trailhead, a map, a description of the hike, and some photos. PLEASE READ MY STORY ABOUT THE HIKE SO YOU WILL KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. I’ll also bring copies of the chapter and maps for those not downloading and printing this attachment.

Hiking tip for the month: Stand up, find north with your compass, and then face north. What direction is to your right? East.

Happy trails and see ya on Saturday September 9.

HVAC Temperature Setting Recommendations

Update on the HVAC for the CC: the new units for the gym and Fitness room one has been installed and are running great also remember that the AC for the kitchen will be installed this Thursday the 27th This install will only affect the kitchen during this time.

Basic setting recommendations for HVAC units when outside temps are above 110-degrees.

The EPA recommends a temperature setting of 78 degrees Fahrenheit, but one should note that this is based on an ambient temperature that is about 100 degrees Fahrenheit outside, which is not the case here in Southern Utah.

So here is a recommendation for what to set your thermostat at during these hot summer days. When adjusting your t-stat to say “home” after being gone all day, you should only turn the thermostat down by two degrees at any one time. Once the unit has completed its cycle and stopped and you still need it cooler than that, you can turn it down another two degrees after an hour. This will help the HVAC unit to not be overworked in the dead of summer.

If you can set your home or business to around 72-74 degrees, and the system runs as it should, meaning if it keeps the temp of the home or business within a two-to-three-degree variant of your set temp, then all is good. If the temp is not attained within those two to three degrees, then you are not going to be able to go any lower on the set temp.

But remember that just because you have chosen a lower setting, let’s say 68 degrees, this does not necessarily mean you will hit 68 degrees; in some cases, you might come close, but not likely here in southern Utah when it’s 110 outside. Additionally, using ceiling fans or other methods to improve airflow can complement the cooling process and help maintain comfort.

This will vary for a variety of reasons such as the age of your HVAC unit, is it new or old. What maintenance have you had performed on your HVAC unit, if any? Maintenance for your home HVAC unit should be performed every year. Some simple maintenance that you can perform yourself includes hosing down the condenser coils on the outside unit and regularly replacing your filters at least four times per year. It is important to ensure that you are using the right filter for your HVAC. In the summertime you may want to use a filter with wider spacing between the pleats. This will allow air to flow through the filter with less force than filters with tighter pleats. If possible, find the recommended “MERV” number for your unit.

When was the last time you changed out your AC filters in your home or business?

Fill in the boxes so that each row, column, and 3x3 box contains all of the numbers 1 through 9.

Golf – Exercises for Coordination, Power and Health

People love golf. People hate golf. It’s a game of competition and social interaction. You may have experienced: “I hate this game; I hate this game – Nice Shot! – I love this game!” Golf is a game that contributes to life-long learning and enjoyment. When you learn about the game, you learn about yourself.

One thing I describe in all my presentations is that your chosen activities should be and can be healthy. Golf is no different. Training for greater coordination, power and health makes for a better and more enjoyable game.

Training properly for golf helps lessen chances of injury. Training for golf improves power and control. Exercise for golf can be done at home or in the gym. Exercises such as one leg bridging, controlled rotation, overhead squats, stretches and mobility, etc. can enhance your life while playing the game of golf.

This month I will effectively show you how to properly train for golf using my knowledge, experience and certification through Titleist Performance Institute. The September Brio Health Series presentation will give you exercises that are necessary for a better game and a healthier body. In addition to the exercises, a discussion of goals of training, excellence and focus will be presented.
