Nancy Comenta LETTER FROM THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF ¡Todos estamos de acuerdo en que 2020 ha sido un año memorable! Sin duda alguna, definitivamente hemos sido desafiados. Habíamos recorrido un largo camino en cuanto a pandemias en la historia del mundo, y esta nos tomo de sorpresa, como resultado, vimos que la humanidad moderna no es tan invencible como alguna vez creímos. Luego, enfrentamos aún más desafíos: disturbios sociales, elecciones presidenciales inusuales, desastres climáticos y dificultades económicas; ha sido realmente difícil mantenerse fuerte ... Como resultado, hemos cambiado la forma en que muchos de nosotros vemos la vida. Nuestros valores se centran más en mantenernos saludables y a flote. Los estilos de vida frívolos de muchos han quedado detenidos y tal vez se hayan ido para siempre porque hemos visto cómo podemos arreglárnoslas con mucho menos y aún disfrutar de la vida. La salud se convirtió en nuestra preocupación más profunda, ya que muchas vidas se perdieron este año y además nos hemos tenido que enfrentar con nuestra propia mortalidad. La nueva normalidad no solo ha cambiado nuestro estilo de vida, ha desafiado y cambiado la mentalidad de muchos. Es posible que nunca regresemos a nuestra vida “normal”, ya que como seres humanos hemos cambiado. Pero debemos esperar a ver qué sucede en 2021 si lo olvidaremos y volveremos a nuestra normalidad o cambiaremos para siempre. Mi mensaje para todos para el 2021 es GRATITUD. Sea agradecido, sea más amable, viva con más sabiduría. ¡Pero la verdad que estoy súper agradecida de poder despedirme de 2020! Que tengan una feliz Navidad con buena salud y un feliz y Prospero Año Nuevo. We all agree that 2020 has been quite a memorable year! Without a doubt, we have definitely been challenged. We had come a long way as far as pandemics in the history of the world, and this one came out of the sideline and as a result, we realized that modern humanity is not as invincible as we once believed. Then, we faced even more challenges -- social unrest, unusual presidential elections, climate disasters, and economic hardship –it’s been really difficult to stay strong… As a result of these tribulations many have changed the way they view life. Our values are more focused on staying safe and afloat. The frivolous lifestyles of many have been put on hold and may be gone forever because we have seen how we can get by with a lot less and still enjoy life. Health and our own mortality became our deepest concerns as we sadly saw so many lives lost this year. The new normal did not only change our lifestyle, it challenged and changed the mindset of many. We may never get back to our “normal” lives for we as humans have changed our mentality. But we must wait to see what happens in 2021, will we forget and go back to our “normal” lives or be changed forever?
Nancy Esteves Editor-in-Chief
My message to all for 2021 is GRATITUDE. Be grateful, be kinder, live wiser. And I must say I am grateful to say goodbye to 2020! Have a safe Holiday and an enlightening New Year.

“No hay un mejor lugar para obtener un estupendo look cosmopolita que en la capital cultural de América.” “There is no better place to achieve that cosmopolitan look than in the cultural capital of America.”
- ¿Cómo fueron tus inicios en el mundo del modelaje? Desde muy temprana edad me sentí atraída por el mundo del espectáculo y el arte en general, estuve participando en varias campañas en mi natal Barquisimeto, pero sin duda alguna con mi gente de Sambil, fue que me permitió dar el gran paso para materializar otros proyectos, y darme a conocer en mi país. - How did you get started in the world of modeling? From an early age I was fascinated by the world of entertainment and art in general. I was offered to work on several campaigns with the prominent shopping mall chain in Venezuela, Sambil and this opened the door to other projects and helped me make a name for myself in my country.
-Esta sesión de foto fue realizada en la gran ciudad de Nueva York, cuéntanos ¿que significa la ciudad de la manzana para ti? NYC para mí, al igual que Milán, París y Londres, siempre será un carrusel de la moda; es un lugar que te permite ser tu misma en cualquier estación del año. Y una de las principales capitales de la moda y el fashion, a nivel global. -Como empresaria, manejas el templo fitness de las mujeres “Fit House” en la ciudad de Barquisimeto, cuéntanos un poco sobre tu manejo de la empresa. Fit House es como un hijo para mí, muestra del sacrificio y entrega que le inyectas a las metas para conquistarlas, y materializar sueños, es un espacio dedicado al cuidado de la mujer. Principalmente me encargo de la parte administrativa y organizacional de la empresa, soy graduada en administración de empresas, por lo tanto, es un trabajo que me apasiona. -Vas a lanzarte como actriz de un reality show, cuéntanos sobre el formato del show. Palm House, es un formato donde la gente va a poder ver a famosas en diferentes facetas de su vida diaria, y su día a día en la ciudad de Miami, pero más allá de esa parte superficial, también conocerán sus historias, vivencias, el camino que han recorrido en sus carreras, aprendizajes de vida, e inquietudes como mujeres actuales de sociedad. No dejaremos de ser nosotras en ningún momento y nos mostraremos tal cual y como somos. - ¿Quiénes te van a acompañar? Estaré compartiendo el show con diferentes figuras de la televisión como la mexicana Geraldine Bazán, Ximena Córdoba, Mara Roldán, Gisela Iribas, Karen Carreño, entre otras famosas y grandes talentos de diversos países. ¡Todas mujeres muy valiosas y con una historia que contar! - ¿Cuándo se lanza el show al aire? - ¿En cuáles canales se podrán ver o es solo digital? Es un formato digital maravilloso de @popvision_tv y @palmhouse_ tv estamos a la espera de saber que canal lo va comprar. ¡Estén muy atentos a través de nuestras redes sociales! - ¿Piensas entrar en el mundo de los concursos de belleza como lo hizo tu hermana Michell Castellanos, Miss Earth Venezuela? ¿A cual certamen le tienes el ojo puesto? Mi pasión es la moda, el modelaje, la televisión y el arte en general. Sueño con trabajar con reconocidas agencias a nivel internacional, y aparecer en importantes revistas de moda. Los certámenes de belleza, no son algo que me quita el sueño. Yo me he inclinado más hacia otras ramas del show business. - ¿En dónde te visualizas en 10 años? - ¿Qué es lo que más te gustaría hacer con tu carrera: actriz, modelo empresaria? Me visualizo como una mujer exitosa, desempeñándome en el campo empresarial, y cautivando las pantallas de Latinoamérica.
What do you love most about NYC? NYC for me, like Milan, Paris and London, is the place for an amazing fashion shoot any time of the year. It’s the fashion capital of the world. -As a businesswoman, you manage the women’s fitness place “Fit House”: Fit House is like my child, it is a space dedicated to women’s care. -You are going to debut as an actress in a reality show, tell us about the show: Palm House is a format where people will be able to see famous women in different facets of their daily life in the city of Miami, but beyond the superficial, they will also share their stories, experiences, life lessons, and concerns as current women of society. - Who stars in the show? Mexican actress Geraldine Bazán, Ximena Córdoba, Mara Roldán, Gisela Iribas, Karen Carreño, among other talents from different countries. All very esteemed women with a story to tell! - When will the show air? Stay tuned through our social networks! - Are you planning to compete in beauty pageants like your sister Michel Castellanos, Miss Earth Venezuela? My passion is fashion, modeling, television and art in general. My dream is working with internationally recognized agencies and appearing in major fashion magazines. It’s not my dream to be a beauty queen. - Where do you see yourself in 10 years? - What would you like to do most with your career? I visualize myself as a successful businesswoman captivating the big screens of Latin America.

Scott Weston El Mogul de bienes raĂces comerciales Commercial Real Estate Mogul By/Por: Nancy Esteves Photos: Enrique Tubio
Scott Weston, socio de Maddux and Company durante más de 37 años, se ha especializado en bienes raíces comerciales en el sur de la Florida. Es una parte integral de nuestra industria de bienes raíces, actualmente administra más de 2 millones de pies cuadrados de propiedades comerciales. Weston es un ávido filántropo y forma parte de numerosas asociaciones prestigiosas.
Scott Weston has been a broker/partner of Maddux and Company for over 37 years specializing in commercial real estate. He is very much an integral part of our South Florida Real Estate industry and currently manages over 2 million square feet of commercial property. Weston is an avid philanthropist and sits on numerous prestigious boards.
“Creo firmemente en el concepto de filantropía y en retribuir a la comunidad en la que vivo”. “I believe strongly in the concept of philanthropy and in giving back to the community in which I live.”
D
espués de casi cuatro décadas dirigiendo una firma de bienes raíces comerciales de gran reputación en el sur de la Florida, cuéntenos sobre sus inicios en la industria. SW: Puede resultarle interesante saber que vender bienes raíces no estaba en mis planes. Después de graduarme de la universidad y obtener una maestría en fisiología reproductiva, comencé mi vida profesional en la industria química. Steven Arbuckle, mi socio comercial y amigo, se puso en contacto conmigo en 1979 cuando vivía en Virginia y me convenció de que una carrera en bienes raíces en el sur de Florida me proporcionaría un gran futuro. ¡Él estaba en lo cierto! Tenía 29 años en ese momento y regresé a Miami para unirme a Maddux and Company. Bajo la tutoría de Bill Maddux, desarrollé mis habilidades a través de la investigación, valoración y ventas éticas. Atribuyo mi éxito profesional a lo largo de los años a las valiosas lecciones y orientación del Sr. Maddux. Como corredor / socio de Maddux and Company, usted ha vendido o alquilado cerca de $600,000,000 en bienes raíces comerciales. ¿Cuáles son algunas de sus transacciones más importantes hasta la fecha? SW: La venta de The Falls Shopping Center por $ 75 millones es la transacción individual más grande de nuestra Compañía. Sin embargo, si bien vendemos propiedades minoristas y terrenos baldíos, mi nicho y mi fuerte es la venta de desarrollos de oficinas comerciales y almacenes y condominios. Un área de nuestro negocio que me enorgullece desarrollar es la administración de propiedades. Posteriormente, los inversores que han comprado una propiedad con nosotros nos han confiado su gestión. Esta área de nuestro negocio ha proporcionado estabilidad financiera a Maddux and Company en momentos en que la volatilidad del mercado afectó enormemente al mercado inmobiliario. Actualmente, este “negocio de supervivencia” nos tiene administrando más de 2.5 millones de pies cuadrados de espacio comercial.
A
fter almost four decades running a highly reputable commercial brokerage firm in South Florida, tell us about your early beginnings in the industry. SW: You may find it interesting to know that selling real estate was not my master plan. After graduating college and receiving a master’s degree in Reproductive Physiology, I began my professional life in the chemical industry. Steven Arbuckle, my business partner and friend, contacted me in 1979 when I was living in Virginia, and convinced me that a career in real estate in South Florida would provide me with a great future. He was right! I was 29 years old at the time and moved back to Miami to join Maddux and Company. Under the mentorship of Bill Maddux, I developed my skills through research, valuation and ethical salesmanship. I attribute my professional success over the years to the invaluable lessons and guidance from Mr. Maddux. As broker/partner in Maddux and Company, you have sold or leased nearly $600,000,000 of Commercial Real Estate. What are some of your biggest transactions to date? SW: The sale of The Falls Shopping Center for $75 million is our Company’s largest single transaction. However, while we do sell retail properties and raw land, my niche and forte is selling commercial office and warehouse developments and condominiums. One area of our business that I have been proud to develop is that of property management. Investors that have purchased property with us have subsequently entrusted us with its management. This area of our business has provided financial stability to Maddux and Company during times when market volatility greatly impacted the real estate market. Currently, this “survival business” has us managing over 2.5 million square feet of commercial space.
Los bienes raíces comerciales son altamente competitivos en el sur de Florida, ¿qué lo distingue de la competencia? SW: Tom Brady es posiblemente uno de los mejores atletas de todos los tiempos. Entrena tan duro, si no más duro que sus competidores y trabaja constantemente en su plan de juego. Del mismo modo, también estoy dispuesto a trabajar más duro y analizo continuamente las formas en que administramos el negocio. Lo que creo que me distingue es, en primer lugar, más de 40 años de experiencia en la industria. En segundo lugar, mis clientes saben que administro su propiedad como si fuera el propietario. Soy conocido por enviar mensajes de texto con fotos a los clientes para mostrar el estado de un proyecto o cuando estoy haciendo una vigilancia de rutina de sus propiedades. Tanto los clientes como los inquilinos tienen mi número de teléfono celular y pueden comunicarse conmigo siempre que haya un problema, tanto durante como después del horario comercial. También eres miembro de Commercial Alliance of the greater Miami and the Beaches Realtor Association, the Industrial Association of Dade County and the Greater Miami International Council. Como experto en el campo, ¿qué tendencias ve en la industria de bienes raíces comerciales? SW: La industria de bienes raíces comerciales se ha visto inevitablemente afectada por la pandemia actual. Los restaurantes, comercios, minoristas y negocios relacionados con eventos han sido los más afectados. Se espera que esta tendencia continúe en los próximos meses, también esperamos ver un aumento en la tasa de oficinas vacantes ya que muchas empresas han realizado la transición a un escenario de trabajo desde sus casas y así reducirán su necesidad del espacio de oficina.
En una nota positiva, el desarrollo industrial está prosperando. La reciente adquisición y desarrollo de terrenos por $22 millones de Amazon en Opa Locka es indicativo de una tendencia a expandir el uso de almacenes para fines de adquisición y distribución.
Commercial real estate is highly competitive in South Florida, what sets you apart from the competition? SW: Tom Brady is arguably one of the greatest athletes of all time. He trains as hard as, if not harder, than his competitors and he is constantly working on his game plan. Similarly, I am also willing to work harder and I continually analyze the ways we manage the business. What I believe sets me apart is firstly, over 40 years of experience in the industry. Secondly, my clients know that I manage their property as if I was the owner. I am known for texting pictures to clients to show the status of a project or when I am doing routine surveillance of their properties. Both clients and tenants alike have my cell phone number and can communicate with me whenever there is an issue, both during and after business hours. You are also a member of the Commercial Alliance of the greater Miami and the Beaches Realtor Association, the Industrial Association of Dade County and the Greater Miami International Council. As an expert in the field, what trends do you see in the commercial real estate industry? SW: The commercial real estate industry has inevitably been affected by the current pandemic. Restaurants, retail and eventrelated businesses have been the most severely impacted. We expect to see this trend continue in the coming months, and we also expect to see an increase in the office vacancy rate as many businesses have transitioned to a work from home scenario and will downsize their need for office space.
On a positive note, industrial development is thriving. Amazon’s recent $22 million land acquisition and development in Opa Locka is indicative of a trend to expand warehouse use for procurement and distribution purposes.

Actualmente, Usted forma parte de la Junta de Fideicomisarios de Baptist Health Systems y es el vicepresidente de West Kendall Baptist Hospital. ¿Qué es lo que más disfruta de poder servir en estos consejos de alto rango? SW: Creo firmemente en el concepto de filantropía y en retribuir a la comunidad en la que vivo. Servir en estas Juntas me ha brindado la oportunidad de alinearme con una organización increíble cuya misión principal es servir a la comunidad. Desde que me convertí en miembro de la Junta hace 27 años, he visto de manera emocionante crecer a esta entidad y ser testigo del impacto de sus esfuerzos para mejorar la atención médica en el sur de Florida. A nivel personal, he tenido el privilegio de ser parte de un grupo de expertos y colaborar con muchos de nuestros líderes. Honestamente, he aprendido mucho de sus conocimientos y perspectivas individuales. Quizás porque tenemos ideas afines en nuestros valores, varios de mis amigos más cercanos son miembros de la junta. Supongo que lo que más disfruto son los desafíos y objetivos que trabajamos como grupo para implementar una filantropía estratégica pero efectiva. Cuando encuentra tiempo fuera de su horario de emprendedor comercial, ¿cuáles son algunos de los pasatiempos que más disfruta? SW: He estado comprometido con un programa de ejercicio intenso toda mi vida. Empecé a correr a los 5 años y después de 22 maratones de Nueva York, ¡todavía sigo corriendo! También disfruto mucho andar en bicicleta tanto al aire libre como en mi Pelotón de casa. Mantenerme en buena condición física requiere disciplina y constancia y me ha ayudado a mantenerme con energía, concentrado y a manejar el estrés de mi vida profesional. ¿Qué sigue para Scott Weston? SW: Realmente me gustaría correr el maratón de Nueva York una vez más.Y hay muchos más desafíos en mi lista de viajes que espero con ansias: la escalada del Monte Kilimanjaro y esquiar en los Alpes suizos, por ejemplo. Profesionalmente, disfruto mucho de mi asociación comercial con mi hijo menor, Joseph Weston. Su impulso y perspectiva generacional son muy motivadores y está haciendo crecer Maddux and Company de formas que no podría haber imaginado. En última instancia, mi mayor deseo y prioridad en este momento de mi vida es pasar más tiempo con mi familia y amigos. ¡Esta próxima década será increíble!
You currently sit on the Board of Trustees of Baptist Health Systems and are the Vice Chair of West Kendall Baptist Hospital. What do you most enjoy about serving on these high-ranking boards? SW: I believe strongly in the concept of philanthropy and in giving back to the community in which I live. Serving on these Boards has allowed me the opportunity to align myself with an incredible organization whose principal mission is to serve the community. Since becoming a Board member 27 years ago, it has been exciting to watch this entity grow and to witness the impact of its efforts to improve health care in South Florida. On a personal level, I have been privileged to think-tank and collaborate with many of our local leaders. I have honestly learned so much from their knowledge and individual perspectives. Perhaps because we are like-minded in our values, several of my closest friends are fellow board members. I suppose what I enjoy most are the challenges and goals we work through as a group to implement strategic yet effective philanthropy. When you find time out of your business entrepreneur schedule, what are some of the hobbies you enjoy most? SW: I have been committed to an intense exercise program my whole life. I started running at age 5 and after 22 New York marathons, I’m still running! I also really enjoy cycling both outdoors and on my home Peloton. Staying in good physical condition requires discipline and consistency and has helped me stay energized, focused and manage the stress of my professional life. What’s next for Scott Weston? SW: I would really like to run the New York marathon one more time. And there are many more challenges on my travel bucket list that I look forward to checking off-climb Mount Kilimanjaro and ski the Swiss Alps, for example. Professionally, I’m really enjoying my business partnership with my youngest son, Joseph Weston. His drive and generational perspective are very motivating and he is growing Maddux and Company in ways I could not have imagined. Ultimately, my greatest wish and priority at this point in my life is to spend more time with my family and friends. This next decade is going to be amazing!
RICHARD P. COLE By: Nancy Esteves
Richard P. Cole is the Managing Partner of the largest Florida law firm Cole, Scott and Kissane, with 525 attorneys and 13 offices throughout the state. This top Florida firm specializes in the areas of personal injury defense law, medical, legal, and professional malpractice. The firm modestly began with just 10 attorneys and grew to over to an impressive 525 lawyers.
“This is not just my accomplishment, it’s the firm’s accomplishment,” says Cole. “This is not done by one person, but by a great team.”
ole’s area of expertise is defending professionals in malpractice suits, as well as administrative investigations related to their professional licenses and he has litigated in the Probable Cause Panels handling Errors and Omissions claims, brought against, accounts, insurance brokers and real estate agents, as well as against other licensed professionals. He is a past Director of the Dade County Defense Bar Association and President and Director of the Dade County Bar Association, and a past Delegate to the United States Eleventh Circuit Conference. Cole was recently appointed by the Governor to serve on the University of Florida Board of Trustees, and is a UF alumni. His accolades read like a Who’s Who List: Selected as one of the Top 1.7% of Civil Trial Lawyers in the State of Florida by Florida Trend Magazine (2005-2019); The Best Lawyers in America (20062021); Florida Super Lawyers (2006-2020); Lifetime Achievement Selection to America’s Top 100 Attorneys®; and Marquis Who’sWho® Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient (2019-2020), to name a few. “My greatest accomplishment was surrounding myself with very talented people who were able to work together to accomplish what we’ve accomplished.” He comes from a background of attorneys. His dad was a lawyer and his two brothers, although they’ve never practiced together, are also lawyers. Cole says he was actually going to study banking but ended up with a law degree because he was told it would be more valuable and started his career at an early age.
Madoff’s accountant. Madoff is currently serving a federal prison sentence for offenses related to a massive Ponzi scheme. Cole was able to settle the civil matters for Madoff’s accountant before Madoff plead guilty. Another high-profile case was representing the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. As an active philanthropist, he says his most rewarding work is with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and he recently received an award from the American Cancer Society. Many of his family members including himself have been diagnosed with cancer. Recently, he donated $20 million to the University of Florida Levin College of Law’s health law program in honor of his late father, a fellow UF law alumnus. During his free time, Coles likes playing golf and travels to his North Carolina home often. He enjoys traveling to London and visiting the British Museum where he can relish in his British Heritage. His dad was actually born in the UK and came to the U.S. as a baby. “London to me is the most interesting city imaginable. It has so much of the history of the world.” “I used to hire a guide who worked for the house of commons to visit the most interesting exhibits.” In the coming months, he believes there will be an uptick in nursing home lawsuits.
He has worked on numerous high-profile cases such as defending Bernard
“We certainly know that nursing homes have very frail people in them and whether there was sufficient testing and safety measures necessary to protect those people will be a real question. Those cases haven’t really started yet, but I think you are going to see them soon.”

LEGAL NEWS SOURCE Our legal expert, Attorney P. J. Mitchell of Mitchell and West LLC discusses the Presumptive President-elect Priorities for the New Administration 2021
P.J. Mitchell The constitutional underpinning of the United States Constitution harkens from the influence of the European enlightenment thinkers, John Locke and Thomas Hobbes. These underpinnings are premised on the “state of nature” wherein all people are naturally free and equal and have “natural rights” which include the right to “life, liberty, and property.” The social contract of the Enlightenment Period argued that people form governments to protect their natural rights, thereby giving up some freedoms to govern themselves through a social contract between the government and the people. However, Thomas Hobbes and Thomas Jefferson argued that there were limits to government power and also argued that the people had a right to break this contract if the government deprived the people of these rights. In the modern era, the Presumptive Presidentelect, Joe Biden has stated he will be “the most progressive President in history.” In support of his proclamation, he has highlighted in recent days his priorities for his new administration which would include, among other things, cancelling student loan debt up to ten thousand dollars, student loan forgiveness for people making less than
Spencer West one hundred twenty-five thousand dollars, “free” college and money for bankrupt states. At the time of the founding of the United States of America, democracy placed power in the people. As it is in modern times, in the late 1700’s, people fled other political systems that were authoritarian in nature. For example, the European model in England is what our forefathers and countrymen fled in the pursuit of freedom. These authoritarian and dictatorial governments held economic and governmental power over their people. Today, the concern for many Americans is the belief that we are seeing for the first time in this country’s history that America is going to take a gigantic step toward implementing a form of a European model. Several scandinavian countries have implemented free tuition at public universities and free healthcare. With Biden’s stated proposals, the American pragmatists can’t help but wonder who’s going to pay for all of this? With the taxing authorities of the federal, state and local governments, the average working American pays more than fifty cents per dollar earned.
For a historical perspective, in 1913, the government’s right to impose an income tax was first enacted through the ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. This set the stage for the implementing a federal tax on all earned income. Since the implementation of the Sixteenth Amendment, governmental entities have implemented tax and spend policies at all government levels to finance desired social programs. In turn, the Sixteenth Amendment formed the foundation for the imposition of a powerful and robust federal government. What is the cost benefit analysis of Biden’s new policy proposals? Will he keep his promise that there will be no new taxes on people making four hundred thousand dollars or less? A promise that looks to be shallow, especially with his latest proposal to tax all gun owners. Presumptive President-elect Joe Biden has on several occasions referenced a “dark winter” ahead. In the event these policies are implemented; it may be a dark four years ahead.
SAVANNAH GEORGIA
A Mecca for History, Southern Charm and Romance Una meca de la historia, el encanto sureño y el romance
By/Por: Nancy Esteves
Savannah is famed for its beautiful coastal landscapes, its well-preserved architecture, its rich, vibrant history and its musical heritage.
T
his majestic coastal city, nicknamed the Hostess City, is separated from South Carolina by the Savannah River and renowned for manicured parks, horse-drawn carriages and antebellum architecture.

PERFECT LOOKS FOR EVERY OCCASION. Here are some ideas to help you look your best this holiday season.
Classic Beauty It never fails! Ideal to combine with different outfits! Few things are as timeless and classic as a black eyeliner and red lipstick combo. Important: Matte red lipstick, please!
For ever fresh! For an understated, yet totally gorgeous makeup look like Selena Gomez’s, use the same neutral color palette for your cheeks, eyes, and lips.
It’s time to shine! This look will make you the star of the evening! Blend a gold shadow into the crease of your eyes and underneath your bottom lashes, and then do the same right below your cheekbones with a contour powder. Top it off by patting a gold shadow along your eyelids and at the center of your pout.
Love a smokey eye? Make your eyes the center of attention! Simply apply a brown shadow across your eyelid and underneath your bottom lashes. Finally, add some holiday sparkle with a bronze shimmery shadow on top.
S NATURAL ANTIOXIDANT
First Colombian corozo fruit, nurturing and antioxidant skin and hair oil, blended with cacay and coconut oils is launched in the United States market
S Natural launches its new nourishing oil for face and body, and its founders, Sabina and Alexandra Covo, daughters of the prestigious Colombian dermatologist German Covo Segrera, introduce the new natural antioxidant formula.
M
iami, FL September. Inspired by the natural beauty people are born with, two sisters and their father, a prestigious Colombian dermatologist, created the first skin oil made of a blend between corozo, coconut and cacay. Rich in antioxidants and anthocyanins S Natural Oil acts as a complete moisturizer, antioxidant, and epidermal barrier repairer. Corozo, known as the exotic berry of the Caribbean, is a fruit that grows from a palm tree in Colombia, and it is now used in the skin care industry because of the great benefits it offers. One of these benefits is its antioxidant properties and skin protector effect. On the other hand, cacay, native to the Amazon rainforests of South America, is rich in vitamin E, retinol and linoleic acid, so it does not only nourish, but also repairs damaged and flaking skin and helps maintain the protective barrier of the same. Coconut oil, in addition to being an excellent conductive oil, has the ability to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, improving the elasticity and flexibility of the skin. “Our formula additionally boasts a semi-sweet, soft coconut smell and after applying on to dry or wet skin and hair, with the right amount it acts as a serum, not oily,” says Alexandra Covo, CEO and physician for S Natural, who firmly believes that the best way of embracing natural beauty is by using products that contain natural ingredients. “I use it every day, even before every make up session,
because it protects and repairs damaged skin,” explains Sabina Covo, TV journalist and co-founder of the company. Furthermore, there are different ways of using S Natural Oil depending on the type of skin of the patient. “For dry skin, it should be applied around the eyes and around the mouth; for oily skin, it must be used only around the eyes, mixed skin can apply all over, the cacay in it is excellent for hair growth as well and men use it on their beards to create a more event result as well as hydrate” explains Germán Covo Segrera, award winning dermatologist who graduated from Universidad de Barcelona, Spain and his over thirty years of experience in the field. Dr. Covo has long been studying natural ingredients for anti-aging and has been commemorated for his work at the Cancer league and other international institutions.

The vision: S Natural wants you to embrace your naturality, that is why it is as natural as you are.
Nicole s Fitness & Beauty Corner Get Ready for 2021 THESE ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN YOU START YOUR NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION.
By: Nicole Esteves
Add a good protein to your post-workout. I use Garden of Life Grass-Fed Whey Protein.
Use a pre-workout. I use Alani Nu Breezeberry for energy because working out is part of my lifestyle. This product helps maximize your workout and has no fillers, and also contains L-Theanine to prevent the dreaded postworkout crash. This makes it the perfect pre-workout drink to help you power through the moments that matter most!
Take a good probiotic. There are many on the market, but it helps you keep your immune system strong. I also throw in a vitamin D and an Elderberry Gummy.
Be consistent and eat a healthy diet most of the time otherwise exercise is just wasted. Remember food is the key to staying in shape.
Have a positive mental attitude! You will make your life easier and be able to face whatever comes your way in 2021!

Miami Design Feria de Arte
By Jeanette Dallen JeanetteDallen@gmail.com Jeanette@DolinskyArt.com
El Miami Design District será anfitrión este año de la feria de arte Design Miami/Podium y de Galerías Internacionales. Design Miami que usualmente se instala en una carpa adyacente al Miami Beach Convention Center durante Art Basel Miami, volverá a sus orígenes este año, y se llevara a cabo en los cuatro pisos del Edificio Moore, donde se celebró por primera vez en el 2005. Paralelamente, el Miami Design District recibirá en los recintos de edificios de importancia arquitectónica, a las principales galerías internacionales que exhiben usualmente en Art Basel. Y en las mas de 18 cuadras al aire libre que ocupa el Design District y siguiendo los protocolos de seguridad que impone el Covid-19, podremos disfrutar de un programa de exhibiciones, activaciones y eventos en vivo. “Estamos muy contentos de darle la bienvenida a Design Miami de regreso al Distrito y que se nos unan galerías internacionales de arte contemporáneo”. Dijo Craig Robins, fundador del Design District y cofundador de Design Miami. “Como vecindario peatonal al aire libre, el Miami Design District hace posible crear experiencias en vivo que conectan a nuestra comunidad local. Este es un camino reorganizado hacia adelante para organizar eventos culturales de manera responsable en todo el mundo”. Además del uso de los espacios públicos en el vecindario para las diversas instalaciones, también estarán participando el Instituto de Arte Contemporáneo ICA Miami y de La Cruz Collection. A su vez el Miami Design District ha escogido este año como ganador del programa de diseño anual -cuyo objetivo elegir talento emergente para embellecer los espacios públicos con instalaciones inmersivas e interactivas- al colectivo de diseño chileno Great Things to People (gt2p), cuya propuesta de instalación Concius Actions recuerda a la diversión infantil sin preocupaciones recordando a los visitantes el impacto directo que cada acción tiene en nuestro medio ambiente. https://miami2020.designmiami.com
