Places to Go

Bergstrom Aesthetics

"Bergstrom Aesthetics is a medical spa that was started by my dad in 2018. For years, my dad— who is an ophthalmologist with his own clinic—has had a fascination with skincare prevention and decided that he wanted to integrate this interest into his eye clinic. A few words from my dad:

One of the most unique services offered at Blushed Beauty is their medical tattooing, "A corrective and restorative procedure using custom blended pigments to camouflage an area of skin including scalp micropigmentation." They also offer eyebrow microblading, eyeliner microblading, lip blushing and areola & nipple tattooing .

“I have always had a strong interest in functional and cosmetic treatments of the eye area. I love the artistic component of cosmetic surgeries and treatments I was the first North Dakota medical doctor to provide Botox treatments for both functional problems as well as cosmetic treatments back in 1995. I was one of the original founders of Rejuv Medspa twenty years ago and the Medical Director at Hair Success for fifteen years. In 2018, space became available in my office to open my own medical spa and it's been wonderful to provide these services to our patients directly in our office.” -

"My dad’s entrepreneurial spirit has inspired me in my own pursuit of opportunities while having a spirit of curiosity, courage, and collaboration."

BLUSHED BEAUTY BAR

"During my year as Miss North Dakota, I started getting eyelash extensions to save me time while getting ready for the many appearances where I needed to look 'photo ready.' Although these lashes are both a financial and time investment, they cut the time of my morning makeup routine in half. Not to mention, I always looked forward to my monthly appointment with Tanya at BBB; she always took great care of me and made me feel beautiful not only on the outside but on the inside, too."

Edgewood Ski Chalet

"One of my favorite Fargo winter outings is to go cross-country skiing at Edgewood. For $15, you can rent a pair of skis at the chalet and explore the trail system that is maintained by Fargo Parks."

"While having a gym that you enjoy isn’t essential for improving your physical fitness, it certainly makes it easier to turn that goal into a reality! I began going to Family Wellness when it first opened its doors over a decade ago, and I’ve always loved the gym for its natural light, variety of class offerings at multiple hours throughout the day, and the people who are now friends."

"This locally owned restaurant is currently one of my husband and I’s go-to dinner spots. Healthy, delicious, quick and the service is always excellent! I typically will order edamame for an appetizer and then Build My Own Bowl with a base of white rice, mixed greens and salmon for the main protein. A few of my favorite toppings include avocado, mango, seaweed salad, furikake and yum yum sauce. The Dragon Bowl is also delicious!"

5 HEALTH HACKS: TIPS TO MINIMIZE SCREEN TIME

"Especially in the cold months, it’s easy to get lost in our screens; however, it’s important to balance our time with real-life activities. During my year as Miss North Dakota, I spoke on the importance of prioritizing in-person connection and shared these tips for decreasing screen time!"

Did you know?

While Blue light, the type of light found in our most common devices, can disrupt our circadian rhythm, Red light is the color that least affects your sleep cycle.

1.

Face Down To Face Forward

"Hide your phone so it’s not visible, look up! A 2012 study from the University of Essex demonstrated that merely having a cell phone visible in the room—even if no one checked it—made people less likely to develop a sense of intimacy and empathetic understanding during meaningful conversations. Initiate faceto-face conversation! Work towards choosing people over the device."

3. BLACK & WHITE

"Turn your display to black & white under Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Color Filters. Believe it or not, even color is addictive!"

2.

LIMIT SOCIAL MEDIA USAGE—PRACTICAL TIPS

"Set a time limit on apps (or, for your device in general!) and keep yourself accountable. When the timer goes off, engage in another activity and commit to not getting sucked into your device. Turn off the notifications so you’re not tempted to click into the app every time there’s a new number hovering above the icon. Move your social apps to the last screen on your phone so it’s not as convenient to click into the apps when you’re on your phone."

4. 30-MINUTE RULE

"For the first thirty minutes and final thirty minutes of your day, make it a goal to not be on your phone or any device. Instead, try doing something that will quiet and center your mind and soul. Journaling, meditating, praying or reading a devotional are all great practices!"

5. DIGITAL DETOX

"Believe it or not, it's OKAY to take a break from social media! Sure, you might not be the first to know of Kim Kardashian’s newest product, but could that in fact be all right? I don’t know about you, but there are many times when social media overwhelms me, and the hours that I spent on these apps displace the time that should be used for other activities. I encourage you to try deleting your socials and any addictive apps for a day, week, month or however long you feel is a healthy break and worthwhile reset for you. Instead of letting technology control your life, use it for its intended purpose: as a tool. You are the one with the responsibility to take charge of how you use it, and it’s important to remember that “real world” interactions are always going to be more fulfilling at the end of the day."
