30 CYLG: Pride Alive
“You lethargic, waiting upon me, waiting for the fire and I attendant upon you, shaken by your beauty Shaken by your beauty Shaken.” - William Carlos Williams, from Paterson Last weekend at a folk music festival, I went to yoga in the dance tent. It was early. The sunlight was soft through Photo by Mark Anderson. the trees, and most of the festival was still asleep. I flipped my yoga mat across the wood floor, sat and held my coffee with two hands. It smelled slightly bitter with hints of vanilla. The yoga instructor was a woman with a singsong voice, a voice you could imagine reaching up and down hills like fast fog. Beside her, a man strummed the acoustic guitar, gentle and slow, the music still waking up too. “Listen to the sounds around you,” the woman said as we closed our eyes. “Be in the moment.” I listened to the guitar. Birds singing. Kids were riding their bikes down the gravel path. Someone was getting out their coffee cups. Loudest of all was a truck with a deep humming engine. It rattled somewhere in the park. I knew there was a good chance it was there for something mundane—gather the garbage, deliver firewood or maybe even clean the portable toilets. But in that moment, with all of those sounds working together, even the noise of the truck was beautiful. Together they were the sounds of a day coming to life. They were something precious. How often do we let life’s toilet trucks ruin a moment? A whole day? How many things do we let affect us negatively? A kid having a tantrum. An event that doesn’t go as planned. Someone letting us down. Bad weather. Bad traffic. When I listened for the good sounds in the morning, the truck seemed like nothing. It was just a single note in the song of the day. Our cover woman Rhonda Sitnikau (page 8) talks about how life is a gift, yet she knows firsthand it is not always beautiful. Life has ugly parts too. Cancer. Death. Failures. I’d like to believe that with the right attitude, what’s ugly can be part of what’s beautiful. I left the dance tent feeling in tune. It was going to be a good day, with flaws and perfect songs, missteps and wild, joyous dancing. That moment was a gift. And this one. And this. FOLLOW US ON:

REDEFINING BEAUTIFUL COSMETOLOGIST PULLS FROM PALETTE OF CONFIDENCE, ACTIVISM STORY BY MEGHAN DIEMEL | PHOTOS BY MIKE PETERS HAIR AND MAKEUP BY VICTORIA STENCIL OF SALON FIFTY FOUR, GREEN BAY
She’s a mother, community activist and a highly successful freelance hair and makeup artist. As her gift for making hundreds of people feel beautiful flows from her hands, Rhonda Sitnikau’ s internal beauty shines through with every word she speaks. Her exuberance for motherhood, her career and her zeal for life is contagious.
A licensed cosmetologist, Sitnikau, 46, received a huge career boost in 1996, when she assisted a woman who styled sportscasters for National Football League on-air game broadcasts in Green Bay. A month later, the woman moved and Sitnikau took over the gigs. “I was terrified, but I’m one of those people that, if something terrifies me, I usually make sure I do it because I know that it’s important,” Sitnikau says. In 2002, ABC flew Sitnikau to the Super Bowl, a self-described career highlight. She styled NFL players and broadcasters Troy Aikman, Joe Buck, Al Michaels and John Madden, as well as doing touch-ups on Sting, Beyoncé, Shania Twain and Robin Roberts.

I really look at life as an opportunity that was given to me, and I know I’m capable of doing the job.” - Rhonda Sitnikau 10 | www.greenbaypressgazette.com/you | AUGUST 2016
“I really look at life as an opportunity that was given to me, and I know I’m capable of doing the job,” she says. “I feel really good about it when it’s over, that I accomplished it.” As her own boss in a career that has taken her all over the world, Sitnikau says her ability to develop relationships, be accountable and understand boundaries has helped her be a successful entrepreneur. “Those are really important things to know in my line of work,” she explains. “I try to be as professional as possible, but I also try to have fun. Typically, most people who come to me, they’re not comfortable being on camera and having makeup done. It’s

up to me to lighten the mood and create a conversation that doesn’t have anything to do with what I’m doing. I’ve been able to break the ice with people, and people remember that.” That quiet confidence and ability to network helped her manifest another passion in her life. She used her fervor for community activism and parlayed it into a run for alderperson in Green Bay. Sitnikau worked 10 months in opposition to the building of a downtown Wal-Mart, and that experience helped open her eyes to what could be accomplished if she took it further. “I feel like if you’re not an activist, you’re an inactivist,” she says. “You’re basically just letting things happen, without having a voice. I do truly believe that people have the ability to be game changers … I think if you’re thoughtful, if you’re considerate, but at the same time you are assertive and really push the issue and get the right people organized, and make the right connections, the right relationships, you actually can affect change.’ ” Sitnikau says she ran a strong, well-received campaign, and though she didn’t win, she learned a lot. As a result of the campaign, she was asked to co-host SPOTLIGHT CONTINUED ON PAGE 12 >>>
Sitnikau’s Sage Advice Rhonda Sitnikau says she enjoys having meaningful relationships with her clients—many of whom she has come to think of as family. Here, she offers YOU readers a few pieces of beauty advice she gives to her own clients.
Take care of your skin.
“The makeup will only look good if your skin looks good. Stop tanning, throw on the sunscreen. Protect your skin; I’m a big believer in that.”
Eat healthfully.
“Try to eat food that basically promotes healthy skin and hair. That makes a big difference. To me, it’s all about starting from the inside.”
Don’t overdo it.
Your makeup and hair shouldn’t walk in the door before you do. “Less is more. You have to give yourself some credit and work with yourself. People just need to accentuate themselves. Don’t go anywhere in ‘costume.’ ”

She also learned more about her personal strength, having just begun the recovery process from a mastectomy and hysterectomy when she began her run for office in early 2016. “In this past year, I was diagnosed with the gene that actually gives you a high crazy risk of having breast and ovarian cancer,” says Sitnikau. “I dodged a bullet…I literally saved my own life by doing [the surgeries]. I did not hesitate. I wanted to be alive for my daughter. My [late] mother never got do this because she didn’t get tested.

It was not an easy job, but it was a beautiful thing that she did. She was so brave to do that.” Having witnessed her own mother’s untimely death, it’s an experience that sticks with Sitnikau. She says it helps her push through times of difficulty. “I’m just really, really grateful to be alive,” says Sitnikau. “That sounds really cheesy, but I think that’s how I feel.

Can I still wear fun clothes and cool trends at any age? Or should my style be determined by my birthdate? Should I dress differently now that I’m in my 40s (or 50s)? Kirsty Gungor is a blogger, photographer, fashion maven and do-ityourselfer extraordinaire. Originally from South Africa, Kirsty now lives in Green Bay with her husband and four children. Read more at www. loveliesinmylife.com.
As a fashion stylist, I’m often asked these sorts of questions, queries into the so-called rules of fashion and a concern about the age-appropriate nature of style and trends. I always respond that age really and truly is just a number. Style is ageless. A women should always wear what she loves—those colors, styles, prints and shapes she is immediately drawn to when she pages through a magazine or enters a boutique. Whether you’re after classic sophistication, billowing romantic details or a more funky edginess, fashion is, most importantly, an opportunity to have a little fun. It’s a chance to express yourself in your own unique way, regardless of age. Too often we worry about fashion myths or concern ourselves with being overdressed or drawing too much attention. Ladies, be confident in your skin and enjoy your wardrobe! Pay attention to what suits your body and its shape and what looks and feels flattering, enhancing your natural beauty. Wear what you love and love what you wear, remembering that great style is made tangible by the way you carry yourself and by your zest for life.

BEAUTY THROUGH THE YEARS EXPERT TIPS FOR YOUR 30S, 40S AND 50S STORY BY MELISSA GORZELANCZYK AND CAROLINE QUINN | PHOTOS BY CAROLINE QUINN
With beauty tutorials at our fingertips, it’s hard to believe anyone could struggle with finding the right look. Caroline Quinn, owner of Mint Salon in downtown Green Bay, says looks can be deceiving. “Those women on YouTube are professionals—naturally skilled at hair and makeup and have effortlessly perfect complexions and bone structure,” she says. “Most people don’t. So even trying to mimic the moves, or decide if a smoky eye or chunky braid is appropriate for you, is stinking hard.”

Pick three spots to highlight. “For me it’s under-eye concealer, mascara and blush. All quick and easy and gives an instant, ‘I’m awake and put together’ vibe in less than five minutes.” BEAUTY CONTINUED ON PAGE 26 >>>

Quinn lovingly says these tips are, “exactly what women need to hear.”
• If you only wear eyeliner on the bottom lash line, please stop. It’s dated and puts too much weight on the bottom of your eye.
• If your makeup has glitter in it, please stop. “You are not
in the dance recital of life. Throw it away.”
• Wet hair should stay home. It is not appropriate to show up at work with wet hair, nor does any “wash-and-go haircut” actually exist.
• Brows matter. Every age. Every face. Every day. Even if it’s only brushing a wet toothbrush through your brows to brush them into place, take the time. Don’t overpluck and learn how to fill them in with the right color brow pencil or powder. Black eyeliner is not the answer.
• Be realistic with your expectations. Just because you Pinned it doesn’t mean it can be accomplished.
AFTER
THE 40S
Francie, rock-s tar mom of two who works from home. “We ditched th e heav y liner for a softe r look. Tinted moisturizer was used to blend complex ion and a concealer brig htened her under eye area . Her amazing brows became a focus with a lit tle brow pe ncil. A bright pink gloss mad e for an easy pop of color. Fo r her hair, I moved her pa rt to the side to give lif t and so ftly curled her locks to showca se her fun green peekab oo hair color.” Anastasia Bev erly Hills Beauty Expres s for Brows and Eyes, $39. 50. Available at Sephora.co m.
“One of the biggest concerns I hear from my clients in their 40s is seeing the beginning signs of aging,” Quinn says. “Fine lines are turning in to wrinkles and old hair and makeup routines are feeling dated. Luckily, there are some very simple ways to adjust these woes.” She says a good skin care routine is even more important in your 40s. “Find an aesthetician that you love and let them jumpstart your skin with a blank slate that will accept new skin care products at their full potential.” 1. BE IN THE NOW. “Chances are you were a teen in the 1980s and some pretty amazing hair and makeup routines found their way in your beauty DNA,” Quinn says. She suggests ditching the heavy eyeliner and feathered hair. “Let your bangs down and soften your makeup touch, and I promise 2016 will welcome you with open arms.” 2. GET A BALAYAGE. This hair coloring technique is modern, soft and so much easier on your hair than traditional foiling. “It eases the time in between color appointments and quite honestly, that is de-stressing in itself,” she says. 3. SPEAKING OF STRESS… “This is the gasoline of the Aging Machine,” Quinn says. “Take a yoga class, work out, giggle with friends and learn to turn off that self-critical voice in the back of your head.”

THE 50S Quinn says beauty routines in this decade should be easy. You’ve probably found your go-to look, but in this decade of huge transition, make sure it’s youthful yet appropriate. 1. GET A GREAT CUT. Ditch the idea that 50 needs to be so “appropriate.” “There are very few lengths that are too long at age 50,” Quinn says. She suggests finding the perfect length based on your face shape, height and lifestyle. A stylist who can rock a razor cut will give hair a weightless finish and lots of movement. Soft hairlines can lift cheekbones and lengthen the neck. 2. KEEP UP WITH COLORING. While battling gray hair can be a burden, it’s worth keeping up. Fifty is the new 40, and rich, shiny hair is youthful and adds a ton of spunk to your overall appearance.
AFTER 3. KEEP MAKEUP LIGHT. Try a tinted moisturizer to even skin tone without the product falling into lines and wrinkles. “Lay off the powder and rock a dewy finish to give a youthful glow,” she says.

TO HELP YOU STAY YOUR BEST ALL SUMMER BY COLLEEN RIORDAN

Balance â&#x20AC;&#x153;Working on your balance can be tedious and boring. However, a lot of people have very poor balance. By working to improve your balance, not only will it improve muscle strength, general coordination, and posture, but it also helps to prevent injuries like sprains,â&#x20AC;? says Riordan. Try balancing on one leg for a few seconds at a time. The longer you can hold it the better. For a challenge, stand one-legged on an uneven surface like a pillow. To work on your total body balance, practice side planks.

Vitamin D “In our climate, it’s difficult to get vitamin D year round. We have a short window during the Wisconsin summer to really take advantage of it,” says Abegglen. Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium, boosts your immune system, and reduces inflammation. You can get vitamin D through fortified foods like dairy products and certain breakfast cereals. However, one of the best ways to get it is to regularly spend time in the sun. Go for a walk and enjoy the few months of great weather, but make sure to wear sunscreen.

Talk to Someone There is still a lot of fear and shame associated with seeking help, but there shouldn’t be. It’s part of the human condition to want to understand and be understood. You don’t need to wait until you are really struggling to seek counsel. If you aren’t fulfilling that need through the other people in your life, reach out to a counselor. McGuire says, “Sometimes, even if you have a great home support system, it’s beneficial to talk with a professional trained in providing direct feedback and support.”
