EXPLORE THE DALI MUSEUM

HOST THE SUMMER OLYMPICS

FREE COLORING SHEETS

HAVE A FASHION SHOOT Do you have kids that love to dress up? Set up your own photo studio complete with backdrop (an old sheet or blanket will work) and special lighting like fairy lights. Encourage your kids to create outfits like being “totally glam” or just plain silly. Take it one step further and get the photos printed and create a fashion magazine. Let them describe the inspirations behind their outfits and print it out.

Create a series of competitions and then award gold, silver and bronze medals. Ideas can be simple like how many times can you jump rope without messing up or how many steps can you take while balancing something on your head before it falls. Your imagination is the limit, use what you’ve already got! Dedicate one day to the games and include an opening and closing ceremony if possible.

Not only can you explore the entire museum virtually, parents can download & print art activities and lesson plans. Watch video exercises to inspire and enlighten adults, take a look at online-only exhibits and learn everything there is to know about Surrealism. Download the mobile app and you will have access to tours, art and more. Thedali.org

LET THE KIDS CREATE! Learn how to make hundreds of unique crafts like Kool-Aid playdough, sidewalk puffy paint, “pet” cactus, spring treat recipes, games, variations of slime and more. They offer free, printable chore charts and also offer a free weekly newsletter delivered to your email. Thebestideasforkids.com

Lakeland’s favorite commercial illustrator & artist Bump Galletta is offering a collection of free coloring pages. Visit bumpgalletta.com, click shop, click the tab for coloring sheets, choose as many as you’d like and print. He has multiple selections for both kids and adults. How many can you do? After you’re done, frame them and give them as gifts or hang them somewhere special.

START A GARDEN

MYSTERY SCAVENGER HUNT

SEND LOVE

DRUNK PIRATE

TAG US!

Begin with seeds or starter plants from the garden store. Some easy and fast-growing seeds include marigolds, green beans or radishes. Section off a small portion of the yard or use a large pot to create your garden space. Kids can create little signs to indicate each variety. Have them check everyday to make sure the plants have enough water. Take it one step further and they can keep a journal of the garden’s growth.

Let the kids “accidently” find the first clue and let the adventure begin. Create harder clues for the older kids and easier ones for the littles. You can end the hunt with a “treasure” chest of snacks or prizes of whatever they love. This activity takes a day to plan, so prep ahead and hide the clues and treasure after they go to bed. You can theme the hunts as if a pirate or mermaid snuck in and left the clues.

Write a letter, make a card or have the kids draw a picture and send it to someone you know that’s quarantined home alone. Phone calls and FaceTime are great, but there’s something pretty lovely about receiving something that was made just for you with love. Use apps like Postagram and create a card with your social media pics and let them do the mailing for you.

This is an online drinking game that can be played with 2 people, however it’s more fun with a crowd. Visit drunkpirate.co.uk and get started. Flip cards to find small physical challenges, personal questions to answer and directions on when to take a drink. This game is for 21+ please don’t drink and drive.

Show us how you shelter at home! Post a pic on Facebook or Instagram and use the hashtag #kindachill. You might find your post printed in the next issue of Haven! Keep your post’s wording to a minimum, be creative and let’s see how you spend your quarantine time!

As President of Polk State College, I write to congratulate the Spring 2020 Graduating Class! Graduates -- you are incredibly resilient and have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to your educational goals during this challenging time. You have overcome unprecedented adversity to reach this milestone, and I could not be more proud. During your journey at Polk State, I have cherished the stories your professors, advisors, friends, family, and even you, yourselves, have shared of dreams nurtured and opportunities that now await as you move to the next stage of your academic and professional careers. Please know that despite not coming together in celebration of your graduation, everyone at Polk State is celebrating you and your accomplishments. Remember, you are an Eagle who will always be part of the Polk State College family, and I am certain that you will continue to make us proud by soaring to great heights. YOU should be incredibly proud of yourself. You made the investment in your education. You put in the hard work. You gave up Friday nights with your friends to study or Saturday mornings with your children to go to class. You made the grades. You persevered through times when it did not feel possible. You have earned the accolades and you deserve to be celebrated. This edition of Haven magazine is dedicated to you, your accomplishments, and your future success. Thank you to the Haven/LKLD team for making this unique keepsake and public recognition of Polk State Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Spring 2020 Graduating Class possible and thank you to the Polk County community for its continued support of our students and graduates.

Top Buttons: Empowering in Style It has been over six months since faith-based nonprofit, Top Buttons opened a store in downtown Winter Haven. The community excitedly welcomed Top Buttons, both for its mission to “provide confidence-building education and proper fitting attire to young women in need,” according to founder and CEO, Sarah Powers – and for the chance to shop its top-tier thrift selection. “The moment we have the opportunity to share about our mission, the customers perk up and excitedly look for items that they can purchase to support our cause,” said Powers.

for the work that we’re doing.” She wanted to counter these harmful messages with the notion that girls and women deserve a healthy self-image and the understanding that they are more than just their bodies. One thing after another “from the Sam’s Club incident to me praying and seeking the Lord for what he would have me do, to wanting opportunities for my daughters to incorporate a healthy principle in their life in a fun way,” confirmed to Sarah that fashion was going to be, “the tool that we would use to connect and inspire and equip and build up young women.”

In the name of shopping local, supporting small businesses, nonprofits and girl power – we thought we would catch up with Top Buttons. We last spoke to Powers last August, as she prepared to open the third Top Buttons location in Winter Haven.

Powers started Top Buttons in 2012 as a nonprofit, “presenting our positive body image and modesty message at local civic and religious organizations along with creating content for our online resources.” For this first year, she blogged while traveling locally to talk to young women about expressing themselves within the boundaries of contextual modesty. Her blogs and fashionfocused content were well received – the Top Buttons message was spreading. In her local travels to speak, she had girls express to her that they would love to dress appropriately, but they didn’t have the money to buy the proper-fitting or modest attire. “I never want to be someone who is talking at someone, telling them what they should do, without providing them the opportunity to do it.” Powers knew she had to put clothing in their hands. She began bringing clothing with her when she would talk to the girls.

A LOOK BACK AT THE HISTORY AND MISSION Top Buttons founder and CEO, Sarah Powers has a deep-rooted passion for helping young people navigate their adolescent years. She acknowledges that as a teenager or young adult, there are so many things out of your control. Fluctuating weight, hormones, skin issues, home, and social lives, all the while on the precipice of adulthood, staring the rest of your life in the face is daunting. “Knowing my own personal struggle is one of the reasons why I’m so passionate about wanting to be an encouragement, a resource, and an educator for teenage girls specifically,” said Powers.

In 2015, Top Buttons opened in Dixieland in Lakeland. They weren’t open to the public, just for the girls they served. Now, Top Buttons has three full boutique and designer thrift shops open to the public in downtown Lakeland, Bartow, and Winter Haven. Top Buttons serves around 300 girls a year and works with 18 organizations from around Polk County like PACE Center for Girls, Girls Inc., Heartland for Children, Sheriff’s Youth Villa, and the Department of Corrections First Steps program. The income from the Boutique Program goes back into funding their full-time charitable efforts with the Wearing Confidence Program.

Powers has a background in social work, with a degree in Human Services from Southeastern University. She is a writer, a teacher, a speaker, an empowerer of young women, and a mother of four. She’ll never forget the day she was standing in the checkout line of Sam’s Club, ultimately soul searching how she could best utilize her strength of connecting with young people, while not taking time away from her family. Her then 8-year-old daughter picked up a magazine with one of her favorite celebrities on the front. A blurb on the cover mortified Powers. Racey wording that Sarah paraphrased in a much tamer way as, “How to have your best first time.”

This program is for young women between 11 and 25-yearsold that are nominated by a “civic or religious organization targeting young women in need,” according to the Top Buttons website. Throughout the program, the girls receive faith-based educational sessions on topics such as “On the Job Attire,” “Cultural Impact on Clothing Ethics,” “Understanding Contextual Modesty,” and “Positive Body Image.” Paired with these educational sessions are personal styling services, at least one wardrobe makeover with up to $75 of quality, proper fitting attire, new undergarments, bonus vouchers to receive more clothing based on need, a Top Buttons t-shirt, skincare

She returned without her daughter and purchased the magazine. She still has it. It’s a reminder of the messages girls and women are bombarded with at every turn from the fashion and media industries that their bodies are the most important things they have to offer the world. “I feel like we’re doing damage to our girls by sending them these messages that to get attention they have to put themselves out there provocatively,” she said. “That’s part of the inspiration and it fuels my passion

and makeup tutorial, free makeup carefully selected for their skin tone, a photoshoot with images to keep, and ongoing mentorship.

very much about young women knowing their value and having the tools and resources – not just teaching, but the physical resources – to reflect who they are as a whole person without compromising their value,” said Powers in thanks to their community of over 60 volunteers.

Young women enrolled in the Wearing Confidence Program come to the store in large groups for private shopping sessions. Each girl is matched with a personal stylist who helps to style them in the clothes that the girls will then take at no cost. “We can serve them for specific things like job interviews, prom, special occasions or for every day,” she said. The girls not only receive this education when they’re in a styling session but also on a broader scale. Top Buttons hosts “Building up Girls” educational events that are attended by 100-120 girls from the organizations they work with. “We talk to them about life skills, goal setting, effective communication, positive body image, how to dress on the job,” said Powers. One thing she always tells the girls is, “You have so much more to offer the world than your bodies.”

WHAT’S NEW WITH TB Powers opened the third Top Buttons location in downtown Winter Haven last Fall. “We have been very encouraged by all the people who have walked through our doors,” she said of the Winter Haven community. “They seem to embrace the mission and love being able to shop while supporting a cause they believe in! The past six months have not been as strong as we had anticipated, but we believe growth will come as we continue to get the word out.”

Top Buttons is constantly launching initiatives that could fill another need for their girls. A partnership with JOY FM raised money to provide new undergarments for the girls. Powers said that they have seen many girls and women come in with twisty ties used to tighten a poorly fitted bra, wearing their prison bra, or none at all. Something as simple as a brand-new bra, camisole, or pair of underwear is an underappreciated necessity if you’ve always had it, but a luxury if you haven’t.

In addition to their budding Winter Haven store, Top Buttons has started selling online through their @TopButtonsboutique Instagram page, delivering or shipping items that are purchased this way. “We will be selling our top thrift, vintage thrift, and new boutique collection items on the account,” said Powers. “We are also working on providing essential personal hygiene items in baskets packaged with fun board games for our residential organizations like ONE MORE CHILD or Youth Villa. We are working on getting funding to serve all enrolled organizations,” she added.

Top Buttons, whether it’s in Lakeland, Bartow or Winter Haven, isn’t about Sarah Powers. It’s about the girls. It’s about the message. “There is a great team of women and men that care

pandemic. “But they are serving young women out of their mobile Top Buttons Boutique and once businesses open again, they look to find a brick and mortar space. They are building their team and volunteer base and building relationships with the organizations in Nashville who need the resources that Top Buttons provides… Things are going well, and we are excited about how the mission is growing in Nashville,” said Powers.

same situation.” Their fundraiser set to take place at Haus 820 in April was postponed, likely to be held in August. Why is it important to shop locally now more than ever? The Top Buttons founder offered her sentiments as a small business owner and a member of the community. “We are all in this together. If we want to see our communities continue to offer small, unique and locally relevant companies we need to support small businesses now more than ever. In a time of world crisis where there is no control over the situation, small businesses are impacted the most. We don’t have an endless supply of cash on hand to go numerous months without being open. But we want to be open and provide products and services that bless our neighborhood, families, friends, and community as a whole. Small business is foundational for all communities. When community members are determined to shop local it encourages creativity, growth, and connectivity in a way that is invaluable.”

TB has had several requests for information on its affiliate program, according to Powers. She said, “We are still in communication with a couple of people who are seriously considering taking that next step to begin the official partnership. We have held off on doing any real marketing for our affiliate program until we can show the success of our Nashville affiliate.” SUPPORT LOCAL – WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER Monetary donations, shopping their stores and donating clothes are all positive ways to support the Top Buttons cause. Due to safety precautions amid the current health crisis, the boutique is not accepting clothing donations. “We know people are cleaning out their closets right now because they’re spending a lot of time at home. We appreciate them keeping us in mind for the clothing donations,” said Powers.

“As a nonprofit, our number one need will always be financial. We are thankful that our thrift locations typically provide significant recurring revenue to help cover our operating costs,” she explained. “Our fundraising efforts are very limited right now because our thrift shops are closed, our fundraising event was postponed, and we are just starting our online boutique.

Inside Out Yoga Wilson thought it was a cool space and with no plans for it at the moment, he thought, “We’ll start a yoga studio.” They stayed there until 2017 when they moved into their current studio on Central Park. “The object is to spread the good vibe – and every cool downtown needs a yoga studio,” Wilson said.

Every cool downtown needs a yoga studio, right? Kerry Wilson thinks so. Inside Out Yoga is the only yoga studio in Winter Haven, drawing area yogis to their spacious studio neighboring Central Park for nourishment – mind, body, and soul. The studio is owned by Six/Ten President and Secretary, Kerry Wilson and run by experienced and compassionate yoga instructor, Jody Reece. In addition to events, workshops, classes, lectures, and yoga teacher training, the Winter Haven yoga studio often hosts well-known teachers from top yoga institutes. Some of their popular events and classes include Basic Yoga, Flow Yoga, Kundalini, Crystal Bowl Sound Bath, and Reiki.

Also spreading the good vibe with Wilson and Reece is a collective of talented, dedicated instructors. The Inside Out Yoga website includes instructor bios that are worth the read. Men and women all from different backgrounds, called to teach yoga for different reasons — working towards the same goal, one asana at a time. More yogis turned instructors are able to teach what they love thanks to the 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) course offered by Inside Out. Reece, along with Ali Smith and Kelly Andrews, instructs the current YTT class of eleven students who give up many evenings and weekends in pursuit of teaching. The primary goal of this intensive course is “to prepare teachers to instruct safe, empowering and compassionate yoga classes based on knowledge and practical application,” according to their website.

Reece has been practicing yoga for some twenty years. She started taking classes at the complex in town in 2000, then started practicing with Cathy Strang before deciding to become a teacher herself in 2005. “When I was a little girl, I would see Lilias Folan on PBS wearing her awesome striped yoga britches and I was always drawn to that,” said Reece. “I worked at the Ledger at the time and in the community events they had a listing that said ‘Yoga $3 at the Complex.’”

MIND & BODY BENEFITS Yoga has been described as a transformative practice, promoting concentration and strength. It’s benefits extend beyond touching your toes or learning an impressive pose. After her first class, Reece described feeling peaceful. “I was able to quiet down a little bit,” she said. Learning to quiet your mind and simply breathe can be transformative.

“I almost didn’t – I almost turned around and walked out. I hadn’t done anything physical and I was by myself and almost talked myself out of it. I’m so glad I didn’t,” she said. Reece wasn’t looking for anything other than to get out of the house. “What got my interest was that I experienced a feeling of bliss and calmness that I hadn’t experienced before. I feel like that’s why most people come back – to get that feeling.”

“If you get people to feel their own body and just be aware of it, […] even if you’re just standing up and sitting down, if you’re wholly aware of it, it’s a very transformative thing,” said Wilson. Better posture, endurance, cardiovascular health, stress relief, strength – the list goes on for mind and body advantages that can be attributed to practicing yoga. In addition to toning her body, Reece said yoga has changed the way she thinks about food. “I eat way better from being in yoga, just from being around the people that hang out in this community and overall just trying to be a better person.”

Kerry Wilson was born and raised here. Except for his time in college, he’s lived in Winter Haven his entire life. In junior high and high school, Wilson was the page at the Winter Haven Public Library. “I read every book in that library, I think,” he said. The topic of eastern meditation and yoga particularly piqued his interest. He left for Duke University at 17. During his first semester there, he took a yoga class, and like Reece, grew addicted to it. When he returned from Duke, Wilson ran into a friend, David Sands, and the two started doing yoga together. “I’ve done it all my life,” he said. He and Reece met in the early aughts through Cathy Strang’s Baptiste Power Yoga classes.

Yoga won’t promote weight loss, necessarily, but the practice often inspires a modified diet even if that doesn’t mean sticking to a strict yogic way of eating. Wilson said it was an integral reason he was a vegetarian for twenty years. “You’re much more conscious of your body. You’re more conscious of how food makes you feel after you eat it – you’re in touch with observing that,” he said. “I try to do some form of yoga every day. [...]

Inside Out Yoga was born in 2013. One of the first buildings Six/Ten renovated as part of their project to revitalize downtown, was the B.F. Goodrich Tire Store (where The Bike Shop is today).

the posture.” She instructs standing poses, working back down to the floor for a cool down. “I always give modifications and I’m not teaching anything that most people couldn’t do,” Reece said.

Once you get into it, you’re kind of doing yoga all the time. You get up and down from a chair – you’re much more aware of the muscles you’re using and how you’re doing it – you feel much more stable and you’re interested in your balance.”

“We give a lot of instruction in yoga,” said Reece. “You have to follow along and narrow which is one of the techniques to help a person quiet their mind – narrowing.” Breathing is a focal point during the class. “It’s a technique to quiet the mind and will allow you to be still longer,” she said. While giving breathing and physical instruction, Reece affords time to rest between poses, so her students, “can notice how they’re feeling while they’re feeling it rather than move to what’s next.”

Practicing concentration and taking a mental break from the fast-paced, anxious world can be favorable for one’s health. In fact, one of the eight limbs of yoga is concentration – Dharana. “If you’re on your mat and you’re doing yoga, you’ve got to concentrate on doing yoga,” said Wilson. “For a lot of people, the observance of a break and not having your mind running all the time like a crazy train out of control is the opening to calm it down a little bit and be more mindful of what you’re doing.”

JUST BREATHE

YOGA FOR ALL

One of the biggest obstacles for beginners seems to be flexibility. People will often say, ‘I can’t do yoga, I’m not flexible.’ Wilson responds to that sentiment, that if you were hungry, would you not eat? “I’ve been doing yoga for 50 years, but I don’t think I go any lower to touch my toes than I did 50 years ago. But if I wasn’t doing yoga, I probably couldn’t touch my knees.”

Though Inside Out has avoided trends like goat yoga and hot yoga, they do bring in a myriad of styles from the mellow to the rigorous. Reece used to teach classes like Vinyasa Flow and Yin, “I finally said, ‘I’m going to call my classes yoga. That’s what I’m going to teach – I’m going to teach yoga. I’m going to teach people to move their bodies, to breathe, and to quiet down a little bit.” Though she is focussed simply on yoga, Reece says her favorite thing to teach is Yoga Nidra or yogic sleep. “I get such beautiful feedback from people of their experience,” she said. You can find these and other classes on their Inside Out Yoga YouTube page.

“Flexibility is something that a lot of people reach out about. They want flexibility which is a byproduct but not a necessity,” noted Reece. “The only requirement to practice yoga is that you’re breathing.” Another newcomer hurdle is the realization that “It’s only you,” said Wilson. The urge to be in competition or have the perfect form or bend over as far as the person next to you doesn’t agree with the objective of yoga. People are programmed to go as hard as they can. “Go to where you can, and maybe go a little further. Breathe into these things, but take it easy,” advised Wilson.

Anyone who walks into one of Reece’s yoga classes at Inside Out should be able to practice what she’s teaching. She does her best to make it accessible – working with everyone from a 10-year-old boy with Tourette’s Syndrome and ADHD, to people with high blood pressure looking to get off medication, to team-building with a group of high school tennis players. Reece walked us through one of her classes. Students start the class at ‘ground and center’ which means “feel your body parts on the floor.”

“I work the class like on a bell curve. We’ll start low, and then on our hands and knees and make some movements because I want to move the spine in all six directions that are available. I also want to move all the joints,” she said. She may have students flow a bit, move through the poses, “connecting our breath with

Woman-Owned, Woman-Strong WORDS Tara Crutchfield I can remember when my mom opened her first business. It was a food trailer that she painted white with red trim – we called it The Chuck Wagon. She would take me with her to serve hamburgers, hot dogs, and other greasy spoon fare to the lunch crowd in the parking lot of the phosphate mine near our house. I could smell french fries sizzling in the deep fryer as I practiced my letters on a small dry erase board on the trailer step. I remember thinking, ‘Wow, my mom owns this. This is hers. She runs it. I think I could do that one day.’ How powerful, how wonderful. The Chuck Wagon came and went and Mom navigated what made her happy through a few different careers and entrepreneurial endeavors. She owns her own store now. That twenty-something flipping burgers in an unairconditioned food truck became my power, my inspiration. If not to start my own business, then to contribute to the world what I could with any talents I may have, to do what I want and above all else, encourage other women in their pursuits. I have since met many other women with the same strength. I’ve learned that I have that power and that you do too. Winter Haven is fortunate to have a diverse business community. Many of the businesses downtown and beyond are women-owned and run. Women in general, but especially in business are go-getters, put-it-all-on-the-liners, make-it-happeners. They struggle, they succeed, they carry on. We asked a few female business owners in the community a set of questions: 1. What advice do you have for other women who want to open a business? 2. What has been your biggest obstacle as a woman entrepreneur? 3. Who has been your biggest supporter/ mentor or what has been your go-to resource for your business? May you read their answers and find something useful. May you feel a fire in your belly to do something great, something you’ve always wanted to. Start that online store or that coffee truck or that law firm or that makeup line, girl! If you don’t already have a ‘Chuck Wagon mom’ in your life, take a trip to downtown Winter Haven – you’ll find her.

Home Remedy Winter Haven I would advise women to do their research, on EVERYTHING! Expect anything that can go wrong, to go wrong. Know your worth, your value and your strengths. Stay in your lane. Don’t expect to please everyone, you won’t. ASK for help from friends, family, and other women business owners. Find a networking group or 12 to share your business with. Believe in yourself. The biggest obstacle I have faced as a business owner is not being taken seriously at times. Also, when you open your business, have emergency funds put aside. I would recommend at least 3 months worth of bills. You never know what may happen. My biggest mentor throughout my life was my father. My fiance is my biggest supporter. He has come up with some great ideas and does a LOT of the leg work for me and the business.

Definitely do something you’re passionate about and really enjoy. Owning your own business is a 24/7 job, you do not get to turn it off and on… while rewarding, it takes commitment, tenacity and a lot of sacrifice to create, build and sustain your own business. Actually, I think it’s just the opposite… I found many more obstacles as a woman working for other companies. When you work for yourself, you create your own opportunities. My family and our community! Every step in our growth, God connected us with people who helped us… we would not be here today without the kindness and generosity of so many people.

To women who want to open a business one day, I say take the leap its worth it! It seems cliche but life IS short and we only have one go at it. You just have to know your business, show up and work hard every day, and treat people right! My biggest obstacle as a woman entrepreneur… fixing things around the office. When you’re the owner/boss you also become the janitor, a plumber, the handy “woman” all around problem solver, peace keeper. As a business owner you wear many hats. My biggest supporter has always been my husband. As a business owner himself, it helps because through the highs and lows of business he understands the pressures. Also in my specific industry, Sally Smith has been my mentor for 20 years. I began working for her at 16 and she started me out on the right path to be successful in my career.

Sarah Powers Top Buttons

Do it. Women have the unique ability to multitask which allows them the opportunity to pursue their professional goals and their passions simultaneously. But try not to take things personally or let circumstances impact your emotions. Be willing to hear the word “no” or the phrase “that’s nice” with a pat on the back long before you see the success you are working towards. It takes grit, sticktuitiveness and faith in yourself in order to see your dream come to fruition. Women can run businesses and take care of their families! The greatest obstacle I have faced as a female entrepreneur is breaking down the concept that I became a business owner because I wanted an outlet or a hobby. I’ve started Top Buttons because I am passionate about running a business that empowers women who benefit from our programs and who work for our company. My hobby is running, but Top Buttons is my calling. I believe people now understand, I’m in this for the long haul and Top Buttons is a great resource for our community. My husband has been my biggest supporter. From the beginning he saw the need Top Buttons would fill and believed I could do exactly what I set out to do with God at the center. He has offered input when I ask and has been a solid encouragement all along the way. As a wife and mom of 4, balancing my time has been an ongoing challenge. But my husband is a business owner as well and understands the challenges that go with starting your own business. He is full of wisdom when it comes to business, financials and he is not afraid of taking a leap of faith with me.

Ivy Horn Confection

When you state that you desire to open your own business or when you open your own business you will begin to get advice from voices all around you. So many people will come to you and the sentence will begin with, “You know what you should do...” or “If you were smart you would do...” I believe this happens to everyone who opens a business but I know that if you identify as a woman you will hear these sentences perhaps twice as much. I’ll go ahead and triple that if you happen to be a young woman. Now, I do believe that this comes from a place of good intentions most of the time, though it can leave you feeling entirely patronized. I have always felt that I should reply with a smile and a gracious attitude despite how it truly makes me feel. I’m coming up on my first year of owning my own business and my advice is to not leave your manners at home when responding to these helpful suggestions but you don’t have to thank the person who just spent 5 minutes in your business and just told you what you should do with it. My biggest obstacle has been keeping my dreams in line. My dreams for my business are all over the place and ever-changing. Prioritizing what I want for the store based on finances and time is something I’m learning to do. I want to create a small place of wonder for people of all backgrounds and age groups as well as a place that people with varying levels of disposable income can enjoy. I have gotten ahead of myself on a few and then fallen short because I couldn’t match my reality with my dream. I don’t want anyone to suffer the illusion that my business is not what it is without the incredible support system I have. My family and my friends are a vital part of my business. Growing up, I watched my mother own multiple small businesses. She is the first person I call when I get an idea and I want advice as to how to make it happen. We have an incredible business community in Downtown Winter Haven and I am massively grateful to own a business surrounded by people who are willing to chip in so that a small business can succeed. - CONTINUED ON PAGE 42 -

If you are willing to work hard, it is 100% possible no matter how impossible it may seem. Staying true to myself no matter what. My parents/family, they have all 100% supported every decision I have made. I would not be where I am today without their support.

Opening a business can be daunting yet very rewarding. One must have the confidence in their abilities to successfully run the business while taking care of a family. You have to believe in yourself and go for it! The challenges I have faced are moving locations and preparing them for clients furthermore when equipment fails it presents the obstacle of performing booked services. But the recent outbreak of Covid19 has presented the greatest obstacle for my business as I’m a service industry. I look forward to getting back to taking care of my clients and doing what I enjoy. This makes me appreciate my clients even more. My biggest supporters are my husband and my family. My mentor is Valerie Carnes who has been a dear friend of mine for 35 years, she is just like family. She has always been inspiration and because of her I opened my spa business. She has been continually supportive of me throughout this 7-year journey. She supports through her charity, Culinary Skills for Women.

Meg Carnley

Meg’s Medical Scrubs Definitely, if you are sure it’s your passion, then go for it. Life is short and if it’s really something you want then you have to do it. Do not let the time pass you by or someone else will open and the opportunity will pass. My biggest obstacle has probably been the start-up capital and now going forward it’s been the fact that I am raising my family and trying to juggle my business and three small children along with being a wife as well. The days are never long enough! Also finding good and reliable employees is sometimes a challenge. My family has definitely been my biggest supporter! My sister works full time at the store and gives it all she has. My mom helps with our children, and my husband is our handyman and go-to guy around the shop! Without them it would not be possible. It’s a family operation for sure.

A Snowball’ s Chance in Winter Haven A snowball with a side of nostalgia, please! Cain’s Snowballs, a Sixth Street shaved ice spot, turned a year old at the beginning of this year. The eatery – or should I say treatery – was opened on January 5, 2019, by husband and wife, Ron and Dean Cain. The Cains, both born and raised in the Sunshine State, grew up in Orlando. Dean moved to the area in 2012, met her husband, and moved him to Lake Alfred with her and their two older pups, Jake and Jessie. “We love the area. It is such a great community,” said Dean.

THE ANDERSEN CYCLE & KEY SHOP When they found the 6th Street locale for Cain’s Snowballs, they fell in love. It was a neat building in a good location, and the building’s history turned out to be the cherry on top. Al and Ruth Andersen opened Andersen Cycle & Key Shop across from City Hall in the 1940s, according to Dean. “They built this building and relocated in the 50s,” she said. The official opening date of the new building was February 1, 1956. It persisted for three generations, leaving pieces of its history in the form of old photographs, signs, and stories from past bike shop patrons for the Cains to uncover.

Dean still has a day job in Orlando as a House Manager, and Ron was a truck driver until they started building the budding snowball business. The snowball concept seemed a natural fit for the area which had none at the time. “If you go to New Orleans, there’s 200 of these [shaved ice] shops – one on every corner it seems. You can find them in North Carolina and Georgia, Tennessee – but in Florida, there is only a handful,” said Ron.

“We have so many people come in and tell us they bought their first bike from the Andersens. They like to come in and reminisce,” said Dean. Like the Andersen’s bike store, the Cains hope to see their Winter Haven snowball shop go on for three generations with Ron’s son Kyle, and any future grandchildren he has, according to Dean.

The Cains opted to create their own brand rather than franchising with an existing company. Though they are in the business of confections, Ron said, “We didn’t want a cookie-cutter type of atmosphere.” From special menu items to the display of the building’s history, or the tables, high tops, benches, and counter they built – everything is unique, everything is a reflection of the Cains’ vision for a rustic, sweet neighborhood snowball stop.

Dean remembers spotting the old Schwinn sign on the side of the building. “We knew immediately that we wanted to take that sign down and incorporate it inside the building,” she said. As they cleaned and renovated the building, Ron and Dean would find more odds and ends of its history. The front door at Cain’s is original to the building – it too had a story to tell. According to Dean, Mr. Andersen drilled a - CONTINUED ON PAGE 48 -

hole in the corner of the door to run an air hose outside for children to air up their bike tires. “We didn’t even know that that’s what it was for,” said Dean who had an affinity for the old door. “Now to know the history of it – it’s even better.” Other interesting finds from the building’s past include a handwritten note on the wall stating that any bike left over 30 days would be charged 25 cents per week storage, along with old advertisements of a boy with a broken bike and a thought bubble reading, “I think I’ll let Al Andersen – The Bike Man fix it.”

A PRETTY ‘COOL’ SNOWBALL SHOP Cain’s Snowballs’ mission is to “serve you the best snowball you will ever taste.” To ensure sensational snowballs, the owners researched various machines on the market. They landed on a Southern Snow Machine, originally designed in 1932 in New Orleans. The machine’s design has changed little since its creation. “It makes the fluffiest, powdery snow that you can get,” said Ron. The Cains use a double filtered water system to make their own blocks of ice for the snow. They make their own syrups, too.

The Andersens’ daughter Marilyn brought in photos of the bike shop to share with the Cains. They plan to hang copies of the photos on the walls alongside the now framed ‘Schwinn Bicycle Sales & Service’ sign. Dean remarked, “We kept the bike theme going by hanging an antique 1950s Sky King bike as display and a little retro Schwinn tricycle.”

Nothing can ignite unfettered childlike joy quite as much as a rainbow-stained tongue and a brain freeze on a muggy Florida afternoon. Along with the signature rainbow snowball in their logo, guests can choose from a range of fruity and special flavors from banana, cherry, grape, and raspberry, to bubble gum, cotton candy, egg custard and Sugar “Cain.”

“We enjoy telling people about the history of the shop,” said Ron.

course) at the Winter Haven Farmers Market. Their mobile cart is also available to cool down weddings, swim meets, birthday parties, and other events.

If you knock on the counter twice and spin around while patting your head and rubbing your belly, they’ll even let you in on their secret menu items (just kidding, they’ll tell you sans knocking and spinning). The Squished Frog, consisting of kiwi, strawberry, sweetened condensed milk, and gummy frogs, is a hit with patrons, along with the Lucky Monkey, made with banana, marshmallow, and chocolate syrup.

Beyond vintage bike signs, bubble gum snowballs, and pineapple fluff, the Cains say they most enjoy the opportunity to meet people and be a part of the community. “It’s turned into a neighborhood gathering center,” said Ron. “We have families walk their kids down in their little wagons or ride their bikes down or just take a walk from the neighborhood. […] We’ve made a lot of friendships.”

“We also make our own toppings,” said Ron. A guest favorite to top off their snowball is Cane’s pineapple fluff – an airy mixture of pudding, cool whip, and crushed pineapple.

Take out from the walk-up window for now, and when the world opens up again, stop in Cain’s for cool delights served by delightfully cool people!

If that doesn’t ‘float’ your boat, Cain’s serves up root beer floats with A&W Root Beer and a scoop of French Vanilla ice cream. A root beer float might just be the best thing to wash down their homemade cookie ice cream sandwiches. If you want a little salty with your sweets, Cain’s makes one of the South’s favorite snacks – boiled peanuts. Dean joked, “We stop short of growing the peanuts to boil!”

LIFESTYLE WORDS & PHOTOGRAPH Sally DC

Hello Third Trimester From: A 36-Year-Old Senior Pregnant Woman This past November, having just wrapped a film in NY I found myself sitting wide-eyed staring back and forth between my grinning husband Nando and three positive pregnancy tests. I was in shock and flooded with emotion. What about my career? What about our business? What about jet-setting and our lifestyle? What about the fact that my stepdaughter just had a baby and I’m called “Grandma?” How are we going to make this work? What about the beer I drank yesterday during the wrap party!? OMG! I ate sushi too. Spring has sprung and so has my belly. This morning I woke up, rolled out of bed, looked in the mirror and literally said, “Holy Cow. I’m really pregnant.” This whole pregnancy has been an amazement to me. For starters, it wasn’t specifically planned. Second, I never thought I would be a mom. Stepmom yes, but I never envisioned myself physically having my own child other than the birth of a new business or the baby calf that I raised and bottle-fed a couple of years ago. I’ve never really considered myself a “mom” type and if I was… I would want to be more of a “Stifler’s Mom.” Heck, I even refused to wear “Mom Jeans” when they were in style. Speaking of style, my career which I love, doesn’t necessarily lend itself to having a baby. It was hard enough feeding that calf three times a day! When I’m not in Polk County running our apparel company and designing t-shirts for LEGOLAND, I am working on films or photoshoots dressing actors, sets and models. We work 16-hour days. There isn’t much of a window to, stop and breastfeed in-between “takes” or bring a child to live with us and fellow crew members on location. I never dreamt that the “Winter Haven Onesie” I designed would grace a little model/consumer made of my own DNA. I also never thought I would have to think twice before saying, “Sure, I have no obligations, I can start pre-production tomorrow.” Or that I would wake up in the morning and google mini cribs and safe swaddle methods instead of immediately checking my email and Insta! I was afraid I wouldn’t get hired to do some styling jobs if they knew I was pregnant. The industry has certain

havenmagazines.com

guidelines like you need to be able to carry at least 50 pounds, can’t randomly take a 3-hour nap in the middle of the workday and you have to actually wear clothes to work, none of which were fitting anymore. I booked some jobs, wore lots of layers and didn’t tell clients that I had a bun in the oven. Nando assisted me by doing the heavy lifting, being in my ear when I needed him and lending me his clothes. A common conversation between us goes like this: Nando: “Is that my T-shirt?” Me: “Not anymore” lol One client actually whispered to Nando, “Is Sally pregnant?” Getting no response and only a grin from Nando he said, “She’s got that ‘glow’ if you know what I mean.” When I went to my initial OBGYN appointment the doctor said, “Upon reviewing your chart, the first thing is congratulations, you are indeed pregnant.” Four positive tests now, I thought. “And also, you fall into our “HighRisk Senior Pregnancy Bracket.” My jaw dropped, not only because I was definitely pregnant, but a senior? How did they know I was 35 and since when is that senior? The doc continued, “Sally you need to be very cautious running around on those film sets and farms.” Gosh, it’s enough of an event being in your mid 30’s, being pregnant and now they were calling me a senior? That phrase really impacted me more negative than positive.

sure I walk every day, take care of myself and keep up on the t-shirt business. No Prob. I love baggy t-shirts more than ever right now. He told me, “Sally, you have a great reputation in the film world, just because you’re a mom, people won’t stop working with you. You’re only 29, you’ve got your career ahead of you.” (I forgot I’d lied to him about my age) Frenchie continued, “Enjoy this time, before you know it, we’ll be drinking Champagne in the gardens of Versailles, baby on hip and life will be fuller. I’m going to be the best Godfather to Le Petit!” Between a death and a birth, life is precious. I decided to stop worrying & embrace exactly where I am, even though it’s currently in quarantine on the Farm on Eagle Lake. I am taking time to focus on my small business, the small life growing inside of me and the other small stuff… I don’t sweat it. I found a new doctor that embraced my real age and healthy pregnancy. I’ve been reflecting on the advice and strength of Nando, my loved ones and other pregnant women. Nando always says “women have been having babies since the beginning of time. There is nothing more normal and natural than that!” My days have been spent barefoot in maternity leggings, designing new onesies and plotting how my little baby will someday become my styling assistant just like his dad. So, that’s my 3rd-trimester “Senior Pregnancy” Update. xo Sally DC

Until it didn’t…

P.S. Up next, exploring the newest trend of VIRTUAL BABY SHOWERS!

Nando and I tragically lost our best friend, Sebastien, during my 2nd trimester. Through all the hurt and tragedy of his departure, I found some clarity and strength. I clung to a conversation that Sebastien had with me right before he died. He said “it’s just 9 months.” I told him it was easy for him to say, he wasn’t pregnant. He told me that I was clearly meant to be a mom and that “everything will fall into place and go back to normal.” I told him that everything is already growing all over the place and it will never be normal again! Sebastien told me to make

Life Unfiltered It would be fair to say Bartow’s newest coffee house started in a Brooksville field – the idea for it did, anyway. CEO and Creative Director of Unfiltered Coffee, Geanie Folder, worked in a nursing home for most of her life. A fierce creative, Geanie always kept a “vintage side hustle” upcycling clothing and furniture with her company Rebel Juju.

Geanie described as “such a great friend, such a visionary,” had a space he wanted to show her for a future shop. Earlier that day, she told him, “If I’m going to do this thing, I’m going to do it right – I have to find the right building. When that comes to me, I’ll know it.” The moment they walked through the back door, Geanie turned to Linda and said, “This is it.”

THE BEATNIK EXCHANGE IS BORN

“The spirit of Bartow and the spirit in this building drove me from that day to come here and open this place,” she said. “It just chose me.” The 120-year-old building has lived many incarnations, Geanie found out during a trip to the historical society. It was first a hardware store carrying a selection of groceries and dry goods. Next door to Unfiltered is The Wine Stable, originally a livery stable. According to Geanie, folks would leave their horse and buggy next door at the livery stable and come do their shopping. One-sixty South Broadway Avenue has also been a furniture company, grocery store, and auto parts office.

When her last child left home, she left her job at the nursing home and started the Beatnik Exchange. Like many of Geanie’s ideas, the Beatnik Exchange was unapologetic, free-spirited, eclectic and kismet that gathered folks of the artistic and innovative variety. Geanie explained her idea to friend and owner of Vintage Warehouse in Lakeland, Mendy Michalec. Geanie was dreaming of an annual artisan-driven market. The plan was to keep the market one-third farm to table food, one-third artisan, and one-third vintage. Mendy cheered on the idea and said Vintage Warehouse would even sponsor the event, along with Robyn Story Designs.

Geanie and her landlord collaborated to open and renovate the space. “I say that very lightly because really the building did it, the building told me,” she said. “I stood in one corner and I said ‘Okay, here’s what we’re going to do here…’ and we just kept chronologically moving around the building and it kept happening. […] I know that sounds strange, but it is so true,” she said. “I didn’t set out with this grand plan on paper.” There were a few things she was certain of. “I knew it would be earthy, I knew it would be open. I knew downstairs I would have to keep my hand down on the color palette, but equally, I knew upstairs I could bring every color to the moon.”

The first-ever Beatnik Exchange took place on Geanie’s Brooksville farm in 2016. And that’s sort of where everything started for the magical Bartow coffee shop. “I kept gathering people – artful people – and we grew from there,” said Geanie. They started gathering artists as they took the market to events like Sun n’ Fun. A few years in, Geanie and her Beatnik Exchange partner and dear friend, Luke Dickerson decided to open Luka Blue Vintage next door to Vintage Warehouse. Coffee was central to Geanie’s vision. “How many deals, and friendships, and sorrows, and celebrations have people had over a cup of coffee?” she said. She met Lisbeth Pacheco and Jolian Rios, the founders of Ethos Coffee Roasters and started serving their fair-trade coffee at Luka Blue Vintage.

The Unfiltered creative director knew she wanted to have a bar. “I wanted to model it like a home,” she said. She asked herself, ‘If you came to my home, what would I do? How would I treat you? How would I serve you?’ Well, she would serve you off of one of a kind pottery plates and mugs made by other artists. “Ninety-five percent of what was used in the store came from my personal collection that I procured over the years,” complete with kitchen equipment and silverware courtesy of the Lakeland Yacht Club, according to Geanie.

THIS IS IT After a year, Luke decided to open a real estate company, Luke Blue, LLC and Geanie decided to get back to her fashion roots and nurture that aspect of her creativity for a while. The pair closed their Lakeland location. Looking for a private space to sew in, along with a painting studio for her friend, Linda Cassels-Hofmann, the two met with the landlord that owns the Stuart Building to look at office spaces. They rented an office space and the landlord, whom

Even the bookshelves for their in-house bookstore, The Unbound Bookery, were made with wood recycled from doors, made by Luke Dickerson. Geanie paused and thought about the space. “It has been a collection of goods, a collection of people, a collection of art.” The food and drink offered at Unfiltered were not an afterthought. Ethos - CONTINUED ON PAGE 57 -

havenmagazines.com

woke up to around 45 orders from locals. “Bartow has been so good to us in that way,” said Geanie. “It’s magic.” Humbled by her experience downtown, Geanie added, “In all the entrepreneurial things that I’ve done that have led up to this – and there have been a lot – never have I felt so loved and embraced and loved upon. It’s incredible.”

Coffee Roasters out of Lakeland continues to provide the joe and Unfiltered has partnered with Uncle Nick’s Bagels, and Got Candy & More. Some treats are baked in-house – like their gourmet waffles. THE RIGHT STUFF “Every little detail fell in place here,” she said. Like the stained-glass front door she found in St. Pete, created by an artist in 2011 that had never been hung. The tile on the bar is from Miami. She drove there and dug the tile out of someone’s backyard, which had been there for some 40 years. “The whole building, little by little, was built like that.”

AN ARTIST HAVEN

“The right stuff just shows up,” she said. “Along with the talent we have here.” Like her friend and performing artist, Sandi Silverman who she met at a photoshoot at her Brooksville farm. “Sandi planned and took a year to curate all her books and put a bookstore in [the shop],” said Geanie. The Unbound Bookery is a gem mine of books spanning genres and generations.

Ascending the stairs of the off-beat coffee shop will be a new experience for Unfiltered patrons as the second floor just finished renovations. “It’s as if you took Pinterest and dropped it in the middle of the floor up there. It’s like an artist’s haven,” said Geanie. Whitewashed brick walls, a rainbow explosion of colors, a claw foot tub for photography, pottery studio, paint studio, and working space for four area artists. “Every inch up there is art,” she said. Among these artists are metalsmith Cassie Bock, mixed media artist Danita Lyn, textile artist, Kimberly Boothe, and painter Linda Cassels-Hofmann. Three other artists sell their art at the shop as well.

The interior of the shop has all but a conventional vibe. From the carefully curated pages lining the shelves of The Bookery, to the mismatched furniture, a plush chair on a hanging platform, art abounding, and nooks and crannies ideal for a chat with a friend or a moment to yourself with a piping cup of coffee.

Upon reopening post-COVID-19, the shop will offer an assortment of classes from Geanie and the resident artists. Geanie eventually wants to host outside artists to come and stay at the studio as well. This second floor of Unfiltered will offer space for birthday parties, bridal and baby showers, and overflow seating for the coffee shop.

The murals were painted by Linda Cassels-Hofmann. Painting for over 40 years in Polk County, Linda is versed in everything from painting, paper hanging, plastering, murals, faux finish, craftsmanship, and is “experienced in all types of the decorative arts, specializing in trompe l’oeil.” In a nook closest to the aqua lava lamp of a stained glass entrance, is a mural by Cassels-Hofmann depicting two stone women with flowers and greenery sprouting from their heads like every blooming idea that grew Unfiltered into what it has become. Other murals depict Edgar Allen Poe, an Alice in Wonderland themed bathroom, and a hippopotamus they call Phil on the back door. CasselsHofmann, with her business, Castles in the Air, will be one of the four resident artists working out of the second-floor studio at Unfiltered. “Castles in the Air means to daydream or imagine,” said Cassels-Hofmann. She has always liked painting whatever people can dream up.

COFFEE & CONNECTIONS Unfiltered is more philosophy than name. “People are always apologizing. ‘I’m sorry about what I have on today. I’m sorry about my car, I’m sorry about my house, I should have picked up,’” she said. “Why are we spending our lives apologizing for the ways we choose to live?” Geanie aims to empower people to live their life unfiltered – a way of life she has refined. “I’m one of those people, probably to my detriment, I don’t really care what people think,“ she said. “My life has never been too much worrying about what other people think. […] I’ve always had a good peace of mind with that.” Geanie says she would like to see five stores in five years. “I’m just putting that out into the universe and if that’s what’s meant to be, that’s what’s going to happen.”

A BIT OF BARTOW MAGIC On March 6, 2020, Geanie Folder and her son, the coowner/ COO of Unfiltered, Tray Towels saw a line around the block for the shop’s grand opening. “Bartow is so beautiful. It’s not me, it’s not the people who are here with me like Linda and Sandi, truly, this whole thing surrounds us in Bartow,” she said.

As for Unfiltered Bartow, Geanie Folder will keep forging connections. “I wanted this to be a place of connection. I wanted this to be a safe place where people could come, have a cup of coffee, make art if that’s what they want to do, read a book, get on their computer if they work from home and just connect,” said Geanie. “Connect here with this building, in the same way I connected with it, and with all of us artists, and connect with the community.”

The grand opening crowd has been but one of the ways the community has embraced the indie coffee house. After closing their doors in response to the coronavirus pandemic, Geanie racked her brain for ways to keep the burgeoning business afloat. It came to her to do what she knew best – art kits! The morning after posting the art kits online, she
