Fur the love of pets Looking back one year ago, I would have been fighting to keep two nosey cats off of my keyboard and out of my Zoom calls on a daily basis. Now that we’re back in the office, I tend to miss those pen-stealing, keyboard napping guys. One of the hardest parts of coming back to the office for our entire team was leaving our fur babies at home, so when it came time for our annual Cutest Pet Contest, our team was ready to gush over the cuteness. While we aren’t allowed to vote in the contest as staffers, we certainly have had our internal (somewhat loud) conversations about who we each think is the cutest. Though we keep our staff favorites secret, you can check out who the readers voted the cutest on page 27.
It seems we’re not the only ones obsessed with our pets. Have you heard of Harrisburg’s newest sweet treat, Honey Bear Ice Cream? This veganfriendly business is actually named after the owner’s rescue dog who they nicknamed Honey Bear—she’s also one of this month’s cover stars. Learn more about this new business on page 12. Our August issue also marks the unofficial last month of summer, so we’ve pulled together some essentials including some local head-to-toe outfits on page 10 and must-try refreshing cocktails on page 18 from Revival Social Club. As always, we’d love to see your pets, outfits, recipe attempts, and more, so don’t forget to show us on social media how you’re savoring the good life, and tag us @susquehannastyle!

No-scream ice cream:
Harrisburg entrepreneur’s Honey Bear Ice Cream goes vegan BY M. DIANE MCCORMICK PHOTOGRAPHY BY KARLO GESNER
Natalie Wallace felt “imprisoned” in an old notion. She had studied filmmaking, so that was her forever calling. Then a friend said something life-changing. “You’ve done this for 10 to 15 years already, but you have so much more of your life left,” he said. “What if this next thing you want to do is the thing you were supposed to do and the thing that you’re best at? You have so much more time to be great at something else.” Today, that “next thing” is Honey Bear Ice Cream, the vegan, dairy- and gluten-free ice cream that democratizes dessert and honors a sweet rescue dog named Mabel. “I feel very inspired by this concept that human beings don’t need to live along a straight line,” says Natalie. “People don’t give themselves the freedom to change over time. We should have the freedom to be in charge of our life and transform it into whatever we feel fits for us.”

SUSQUEHANNA STYLE | AUGUST 2021
The Lebanon, PA, native graduated in 2009 from Elon University in North Carolina. The era’s lurching economy inspired her to start two businesses that she still owns under the Wonderhouse Studios parent company— Birdhouse Wedding Films, and documentary studio Wonderscope Cinema. “We like to say we’re focused on human stories, so we’re interested in capturing real people,” says Natalie. “We love showing the brighter sides of the human spirit.” She does it all from a studio overlooking the Susquehanna River in Harrisburg, a town bursting with “a really interesting creative energy. I wanted to be part of a place that’s kind of being built up again. And of course, the river is beautiful, too.” Now, for the ice cream. Natalie and her twin brother, Wonderhouse filmmaker George Fava, grew up in an Italian-Polish family, “always very into food, very into dessert, talking about your next meal while you’re eating a meal.” Even when a rebellious gut forced her to give up gluten and dairy, ice cream remained her great love, so ingrained in her life that her husband, Mark Wallace, proposed with a ring concealed in an ice cream cone. Amid the COVID-19 lockdown, her aunt gave her “the best gift ever”—an ice cream maker. Natalie made ice cream for friends, joking that it would become a business. Then the jokes turned serious. Unlike the video businesses, ice cream felt like a universal proposition, spreading joy to the world. Natalie’s thought process: “I have the energy. Let’s give it a go, and if it doesn’t work out, that’s okay. At least we tried.” As she perfected ice cream made with coconut milk in a coconut cream base, Natalie conjured up the tastes of childhood. The ultra-chocolate Black Star is a fan favorite. So is Pink Moon, the sole non-vegan entry, a concoction of strawberry-lemon puree and strawberry cake that channels her mom’s beloved Jell-o cake. Everyone says it reminds them of strawberry shortcake ice cream bars. Natalie’s business experience didn’t prepare her for the rocky bureaucracy of food production. Roadblocks included outright skepticism from regulators who couldn’t comprehend ice cream in non-dairy form. Fortunately, she is free to dream up ice cream flavors while her husband’s best friend and Honey Bear’s COO, Scott Cooper, manages such duties as acquiring frozen dessert licenses and overseeing agriculture inspections.
Whenever the team thought their venture was doomed, Natalie remembered a lesson learned over the years. “If you have a bit of friction, that means you’re on to something,” she says. “That can be fuel to the fire.” You’ll find Honey Bear Ice Cream at pop-up markets around central Pennsylvania and the Philly suburbs. It’s also available for pickup at designated sites and times. Instagram followers find the appearances and make the treks (@eathoneybear). Then there’s the Honey Bear name. In 2010, Natalie and Mark rescued a sort of golden retrieverGerman Shepherd puppy from a Tennessee kill shelter. Natalie’s husband named her Mabel. Natalie nicknamed her Honey Bear. “She’s super loveable, loves people, and also has a sweet tooth,” Natalie says. “She gives this form of unconditional love. I could be the worst person in the world, and she loves me back.” This reflects Honey Bear Ice Cream’s motto of “Ice cream that loves you back.” “Creating something you can eat freely and not get sick from and enjoy and feel so blissful in the moment, that’s how I feel with Mabel,” says Natalie. “I wanted to name my ice cream after my dog and give it this cute, sweet, loving persona.” Currently, Honey Bear Ice Cream is produced in a Harrisburg-area church’s commercial kitchen, where usage fees support a nearby community garden. As things go well, Natalie dreams of expanding. “Every time I’m at the kitchen and bouncing back to the office, I feel very fulfilled and very happy and very at peace,” she says.“I’m a big believer in envisioning your future and imagining possibilities for yourself and figuring out how to get there. It’s exciting to tackle these challenges and say, ‘I’m one step closer to this thing that I really know we can do.’”

Fitness Trends: Explaining the Training
BY KAREN HENDRICKS
Ready to get your fitness groove on? Gyms and fitness studios are welcoming attendees back, in-person—many with enticing enrollment discounts. Before your fitness tone up, need a buzzword tune-up? Susquehanna Valley health and wellness experts break down the latest trends, to help you tackle new exercise challenges and flex your fitness knowledge.
RAISING THE BARRE Barre (pronounced “bar”) classes provide a low-impact, musically-driven, danceinspired workout incorporating elements of ballet, yoga, and Pilates. “Building strength is at the top of the list” of barre benefits, according to Laura Deitch, owner of Pure Barre Mechanicsburg and Pure Barre Lancaster. “Much of that strength building focuses on the core, strengthening the abdominal muscles.” Increased flexibility and muscle toning are additional barre benefits. “Many people dismiss barre as being a dance class or a workout exclusive for dancers. That couldn't be further from the truth—you don't have to be Misty Copeland to enjoy the amazing benefits of Barre,” says Deitch. “No dance experience needed!” Pure Barre Mechanicsburg 6455 Carlisle Pike Building 2, Suite 3 Mechanicsburg 717-678-9264 | purebarre.com Pure Barre Lancaster 1500 Gilbert Way, Suite B-111, Lancaster 717-256-1369 | purebarre.com
CROSSFIT, CROSS-TRAINING Think about your everyday movements— sitting in a chair or lifting a big bag of dog food. In the CrossFit community, those movements become air squats and deadlifts. “Basically, CrossFit takes movements we do every day and turns them into a highintensity strength workout,” says Julia Tolosa, co-owner of Chaka CrossFit. “We learn how to do these movements safely using proper body mechanics leading to increased agility, balance, flexibility, and stamina.” “The positive psychological benefits have been just as important to me,” says Tolosa, who began CrossFit at 38, without previous athletic experience. “I've never felt more empowered or confident in my life.” Chaka Crossfit 32 8th St., Suite 11, New Cumberland 717-710-2497 | chakacrossfit.com
HIIT IT BIG High Intensity Interval Training consists of alternate bursts of hard work with active recovery. Think 40 seconds of mountain climbers followed by 20 second of rest or a plank. “The best part is it’s quick and dirty,” says Ashley Mentzer, founder, Thrive Fit Co. “You’ll burn a lot of calories in a short amount of time and increase your cardiovascular endurance.” Mentzer cautions HIIT newbies or those with “bad knees” to progress slowly, to build a fitness foundation “before you kick it up a notch.” Thrive Fit Co 1801 Market St., Suite 105 Camp Hill thrivefit.co
ON THE PATH, WITH PILATES “Pilates can change you from the inside out,” says Marie Cleaves Rothacker, founder of Lancaster’s Move It Studio. With a focus on breath, flow, balanced muscle development and coordination, Pilates is about strengthening your core. And Pilates perks are for everyone. “We’ve had clients from all walks of life, including those with chronic illness, those recovering from cancer, those actively aging– each has shared how Pilates has changed their life,” says Cleaves Rothacker. “It sets you on the path to success in whatever you do— injury recovery, sports performance, optimal health—it’s all there waiting for you on your mat.” Move It Studio 33 N. Market St., #200, Lancaster, PA 717.925.9970 | moveitstudio.com
“GO WITH THE FLOW” YOGA The word “yoga” means “union” in Sanskrit. “Yoga is about more than exercise,” says Karen East, manager of House of Yoga, York’s donation-based studio. “Vinyasa Yoga is a style that coordinates the flow of the breath with the flow of the movements.” The biggest misconception about yoga? “That you have to be flexible or fit,” East says. “Anyone and every body can do yoga.” And while yoga can tone muscles, “what it does on a deeper level—building the mind, body, spirit connection—is really the more beautiful and important aspect of it,” East says.

Whisk Cafe Makes Breakfast New Again in E-Town This Elizabethtown staple has quality coffee, creative plates, and hometown vibes. BY RACHEL CURRY PHOTOGRAPHY BY KARLO GESNER
The best experiences are born of spontaneity. At least, that's how Amy Kreamer, owner of Whisk Cafe in Elizabethtown, has lived her life. She thought up the idea to buy her first restaurant, a place called Lucky Ducks which she co-owns with her friend, while eating lunch there. When Kreamer's idea for a breakfast place called Whisk Cafe came along, she connected with a realtor in town and whipped up a 13-page business plan in a matter of days. For the new drive-through Whisk Express, she happened to drive by the building and see a place for rent. "It took me 24 hours to make a move on that one," says Kreamer. But if you thought her business endeavors were anything but calculated, just take a peek inside the original Whisk Cafe. This airy, vibrant breakfast and lunch spot in Masonic Village hits every note—and right on cue. With menu staples ranging from lemon blueberry goat cheese pancakes to loxloaded eggs benedict, Kreamer successfully built a vision she couldn't shake. She knew she wanted the food to be fresh, local, and creative, but there was something she had to do first. "The first step, I should say, was coffee," Kreamer notes. Whisk serves coffee from award-winning roastery Red Rooster. This Virginian roastery has traveled north numerous times to teach Kreamer's staff the best way to prepare and serve their coffee. The cafe even has a house

roast called Blonde Bird, made just for Whisk customers. This attention to detail spans throughout Whisk, and the customers take notice. For one, there's the seasonal, dynamic menu comprised of fresh-as-can-get ingredients. Kreamer brought 30 pounds of Georgia peaches home from vacation earlier this summer, all for cafe specials. She stocks up on local apples in the fall, crafting apple cobbler pancakes and other autumnal delicacies. In fact, she gets many of her ingredients local, like eggs from Sauder's, meats from Groff's Meats, and produce from the neighboring Masonic Village Farm Market. Every corner of the menu is thoughtfully curated. Kreamer always has vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options in the rotation. Plus, she stocks a small gift shop on site, where people can relish in local makers and women-owned businesses. As if it couldn't get any more nuanced, dogs who dine on the patio even get their own special menu, with features like handmade dog treats from a local bark-friendly bakery. With all these niceties, Kreamer's knack for the restaurant world feels innate. She was trained as a fine dining waitress in the past, and practically grew up in her uncle's restaurant as a teen. With all this in mind, her second nature makes sense. Talent aside, Kreamer's greatest strength may be her awareness of just how pivotal the community around her is—and how unique it is to be expanding on the place where she grew up. "I actually felt like I had really big shoes to fill with my parents," Kreamer says. Her dad was a second-generation pharmacist who took over from his father, the first pharmacist in Elizabethtown. Kreamer's dad has had such an impact on her that she named a breakfast scramble, the RBK, after him.
willingness to go the extra mile for anyone who enters doesn't hurt either. Kreamer's journey hasn't been free of potholes, but she feels lucky to be serving citrus sunrise mocktails, artisan espresso affogatos, chorizo omelettes, vegetarian black bean burgers, inside-out grilled cheeses, and all the other treats that make Whisk what it is. Kreamer says, "It makes me realize, you know, that what I'm doing is where I'm supposed to be." What more can you ask for? At Whisk, another coffee perhaps.

98 Masonic Dr, #102, Elizabethtown, PA thewhiskcafe.com
Her mom, whose unexpected death in 2007 prompted Kreamer to move back to her hometown, left a lasting impact on the community where she taught school kids for years. "It just really fills my heart with joy when I hear people talk about my mom," she says. The greater Elizabethtown community, from the Masonic Village residents to the E-Town College students, has made a home at Whisk. A place to sit, a place to socialize, a place to work by the bright windows—everyone has their own reason for coming to Whisk, but it's Kreamer's creativity and a willingness to be spontaneous (in life and on the plate) that keeps them there.

THOMAS JEFFERSON
Hi! My name is Toots...I was originally named Thomas Jefferson but my nickname stuck with me! I was rescued from a shelter in NJ! I love to cuddle my mom and you can usually find me on or next to her. I love visitors, snuggling, and doing high jumps to catch mice. I can always tell when people are upset and will kiss away their tears—my mom thinks I was a therapy cat before! I live with my brother Mooms who I love to torment but secretly cuddle when no one is watching! Follow my adventures on Instagram!

Hello, my name is Cupcake, and I am a curious and cute fuzzy little hamster who loves to explore in my glowing pink hamster ball and be active at night. My owner is a little girl named Cora who likes to hold me and show me off to her friends. Sometimes she builds mazes for me out of cardboard boxes, and I get a treat at the end. My favorite treats are carrots and dried papaya, which I stuff into my cheeks.

I was born with a leg deformity, but that doesn’t stop me! Everyday is an adventure! So far I have learned that car/stroller rides are awesome, ice cream is delicious, and running through the hose is so much fun. I go to school too and mom & dad say I’m smart! When it is time to relax I like to nuzzle on my favorite Piggy.

OUTPATIENT JOINT REPLACEMENT
SENIOR LIVING PROFESSIONALS
The Premier Provider of Orthopedic Care in Central Pennsylvania, Orthopedic Associates of Lancaster, and North Pointe Surgery Center are proud to be the first in the region to offer outpatient joint replacement surgery at an outpatient surgery center. Patients stand, walk and return home the same day as surgery! The goal of outpatient joint replacement is to provide our patients with better outcomes as inpatient surgery while also reducing costs, increasing patient comfort, and avoiding risks associated with a hospital stay. Traditionally performed as inpatient procedures, total hip and knee replacements, can now be performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to go home just hours after surgery. You may be a candidate for same-day joint replacement surgery if you are active and in good health, with no major medical conditions. If you have a strong support system at home, with family or friends who are willing to assist in your recovery and are committed to your physical therapy care plan and doing what it takes to recover at home. When you choose Orthopedic Associates of Lancaster, you can be confident you’re in highly-skilled, capable hands. We perform thousands of joint replacements every year. Our joint replacement program offers comprehensive care and the information and guidance you need to recover as quickly as possible. If you need joint replacement surgery and want to explore whether an outpatient procedure is right for you, call us today to schedule an appointment at (717) 299-4871, or request an appointment online at www.fixbones.com.

PLANNING TO MAINTAIN YOUR INDEPENDENT LIFESTYLE IN YOUR OWN HOME?
Pet owners know what a commitment owning their fourlegged, furry best friend is. They know that in exchange for unconditional love, companionship, and joy comes the obligation of providing years of care, attention, and expenses. But pet owners wouldn’t have it any other way; our pets are a member of our immediate family! That’s why if pet owners plan to spend their retirement years aging in place in their own home, it is imperative that they have a trusted plan in place for the future, for themselves—as well as for their beloved pets. SmartLife VIA Willow Valley is one such plan. SmartLife is a true Life Plan at Home program serving Lancaster, Lebanon, Dauphin, and York Counties. It is an innovative, membership-based plan that serves its growing community by combining three important elements of healthy aging in place—care coverage, care planning and care management. The collective package allows members to move forward into their “second act” with peace of mind that their long term care needs will be met. This takes the burden off loved ones who might otherwise have to make all of these arrangements. And yes, SmartLife can also help connect you with resources to arrange for the care of your pet. SmartLife also provides you with asset protection. With a plan in place to protect your assets you can maintain your financial goals in your retirement years while still enjoying the many health benefits of owning a pet. SmartLife VIA Willow Valley is part of the Willow Valley Communities family and follows the same exemplary standard of excellence that Willow Valley Communities has been providing to seniors for almost 40 years.

Dr. Jack Smith always wanted to be able to help other people and decided to go into pain management, because he had many family members who dealt with chronic pain. Regenerative medicine is his unique focus in which patients use their own body’s healing ability. He uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections to accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints. This is a great option for patients who have arthritis and pain.

Dr. Steven M. Falowski, elected to the Board of Directors of the International Neuromodulation Society is our spinal cord stimulation specialist. He treats or manages different types of chronic pain, including back, post-surgical, arachnoiditis, spinal cord injuries, nerve-related, peripheral vascular disease, complex regional pain syndrome, after amputation, visceral abdominal and perineal pain.

FIVE THINGS

5 Seafood Spots To Dive For
In the Susquehanna Valley, we’re no strangers to seafood. From casual dine-in to upscale fooderies, you’ll want to take a dive into these restaurants that’ll have you hooked on seafood all summer long.
BY MARIANNA TORRES
THE FAT CRAB CAFE 430 Harrisburg Ave, Lancaster, PA | mrbillsseafood.com
The shore is brought to you at The Fat Crab Cafe, giving you that fresh seafood taste. Located inside Mr. Bill’s Fresh Seafood Market, this casual spot proves you don’t need to be high-end for high quality food. Customers rave about their Lobster Roll, packed with flavor and served with a side of crispy kettle-cooked chips. Did we mention it’s BYOB? Grab a cider or two from Wyndridge Farm Ciders down the street, and crack a cold one while you crack open some crustaceans.
CRAWDADDY’S 1500 N 6th St, Harrisburg, PA | crawdaddyshbg.com
Get a taste of the Cajun life at Crawdaddy’s. With a savory seafood scene and the sounds of syncopated swings of live jazz music every week, it’s no surprise this eatery is inspired by one of the most iconic cities in the country, New Orleans. On the menu, you’ll find Nola classics like Shrimp & Grits and Jambalaya, but if you really want to experience the flavors of the Bayou, get yourself started with Treme Gator Nuggets and Crawfish Beignets. Top off your experience with one of their desserts for something sweet after your savory meal.
DEVON SEAFOOD & STEAK 27 W Chocolate Ave, Hershey, PA | devonseafood.com
At Devon’s, seafood is treated like the delicacy it is. As you stroll in, you’ll be met with a sultry atmosphere that’s perfect for a luxurious date night. Find yourself immersed in culinary heaven as you try one of their premium dishes. While there, be sure to ask for wine pairings from their extensive collection or one of their handcrafted martinis. Save room for dessert! Their Peanut Butter Chocolate Torte can’t be missed.
ROCKFISH PUBLIC HOUSE 110 N George St, York, PA | rockfishpublichouse.com
Local favorite, Rockfish Public House, is a go-to for all things seafood. Their trusted experts are always creating innovative combinations that will have your taste buds fishing for more. Once seated, you’ll understand why patrons say the atmosphere is top-notch and one to experience yourself. We recommend the Colossal Crab Cake paired with their Mango Mojito for a flawless midsummer meal.
SKILLET2PLATE SOUL BISTRO 30 Eberts Ln, York, PA | skillet2platesoulbistro.com
Is there really anything like a home-cooked meal? That’s how patrons describe the delicious dishes at Skillet2Plate. While their menu features a variety of options, it’s their seafood that has been making a splash. From their Creamy Crab Soup to their Salmon Cheesesteak, you can bet that the soulful flavors of the south are making their way to your stomach. If you’re planning on making a stop, you can’t leave without trying their Peach Tea!
