Meet the ieStyle Magazine tweet team Founder and Publisher of ieStyle Mag, Rachel Soto, started her career in media and advertising nearly 15 years ago.

She spends her days scouring the streets for the Inland Empire’s hidden gems, interviewing local celebrities and tracking down the “next big thing”

I chose to launch a fashion based lifestyle mag in the IE is simple; there wasn’t a media or publication that spoke to the thriving OC, LA and SD transplants that now call the IE home. ieStyle Magazine is the first and only publication in the region to connect the affluent 25-35 year olds with the IE’s upscale fashion boutiques, spas, salons and more.“ Follow us on twitter @ieStyleMag

M y New heart Makes Me feel like a priNcess. Nicole Vallez Girly-Girl

Nicole loves to dress pretty and play with her dolls. She’s a lot like other little girls – except for the fact that when Nicole was one, doctors discovered her heart was rapidly failing. She was immediately put on the transplant list at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital, where she later received the heart she needed to live. Twenty-five years ago, our heart team, led by Dr. Leonard Bailey, became the first in the world to perform infant heart transplants. Today we’re still helping children like Nicole live to be happy, vibrant, and healthy. lomalindakids.org

Cut it Out

Rancho Cucamonga’s Jade Aveda Salon hosts a Cut-A-Thon to benefit the Surfrider Foundation. By Candace S. Abbott

A “keep it clean” kind of spirit was felt as over 75 people filled into the Jade Aveda Salon at Victoria Gardens on April 30th. Celebrating the earth is nothing new for Jade Aveda, as the company honors Earth Month every year. By selling stylish t-shirts and their signature lavender scented “earth” candle and taking donations, the salon works in partnership with the Surfrider Foundation to clean up the place, specifically, the beaches. The Rancho Cucamonga team is so committed, that every year, salon owner Sarah Weeks, and her crew head out for a beach comb, picking up any and everything that doesn’t belong.

n over-sized fishbowl reading, “I love my beach,” sat at the cash wrap and clients gladly left donations after they got their new look. The fete was full of natural goodies--platters of fresh berries, grapes, cheese spreads, crackers, and lots of Sauvignon Blanc. Stylish ladies were in attendance, hip mom’s gathered with little ones, even guys were coming for their cuts. From a light trim to posh bobs, the people of the IE were supporting a well-recognized cause and getting their new look for the season. Lee Draper, from Savannah Cats in Corona, couldn’t have been more excited for his cut as he joked and laughed with the stylist. . A charming brunette, Audrey Avila, went from a long ‘do to a sleek cut in a matter of minutes.

Lady Gaga hits and Kelly Clarkson favorites battled with the sound of hair dryers and laughter. No doubt, the Cut-A-Thon proved a successful event. Some Jade Aveda customers even managed to get a chair massage while they waited for their time in the chair. Stylists too were filled with excitement. Kimberly and Nadia-members of the Jade Aveda team--moved through the space in fashionable tees that supported the clean beach and clean water “movement.” And as if a happy mother earth weren’t enough incentive to spend a Friday at Jade Aveda, the salon offered up free express massages, free facials and free haircuts based on donations. With $1,700 raised, the salon certainly felt pleased. As did 13 year-old Marissa who had some very sleek and savvy layers added that afternoon.

TOUR De TAN Ready? Set? Tan!

ieStyle Magazine scoured the land for the hottest spots in town to get your bronze on. From a light sunkissed glow to a South Beach brown, we’re telling you all about the who’s who in tanning. Rancho’s in, Riverside’s got it, Chino Hills has your butt covered and Redlands will get you golden. It’s time to “tan up,” Ladies and Gents.

Tantric Tanning, Rancho Cucamonga Tantric Tanning, Rancho Cucamonga

Slip inside and get a deeper, longer lasting tan (one session is equal to one week of tanning). You’ll lie on a mattress and turn up tunes while you’re inside (it has soundproof built-in stero system). Need more from the Matrix? Take advantage of the sequential massage you get as you bronze. Skip pressure marks and spend 8 minutes on your back and 8 on your front. Done! The salon also has VTR beds, where you can get your color lying or standing. And of course, what’s a salon without airbrush tanning? Tantric Tanning uses Novell to give you a mocha color--no orange or copper around here. End a pleasant tanning session with a massage from one of the resident masuses (some of whom have a cult-following) or a Sonya Dakar facial. And don’t forget the products. From candles to Divaderm lash extenders from Italy, you can’t go wrong. It’s Tantric, expect the feeling to last!

“The name just hit me while I was driving one day,” says Rob Breault, owner and operator of Tantric Tanning in Rancho Cucamonga. He and his wife, Stacey Reagle-Breault, opened their first salon in March of 2005 and agreed that while the name is memorable, it’s also a mantra that speaks to the values at Tantric Tanning: Balance, mind, body and spirit. The salon is a peaceful Tantric Tanning and Total Body Care is located at: space nestled just off the 15 that manages to 8188 Daycreek Blvd. #120, Rancho Cucamonga forgo the palm tree and beach theme that some 909.463.7833 l www.tantrictanningandbodycare.com salons have. They have employed modern track lighting, a skin care “boutique” and eight tanning rooms, 1 massage and 1 facial room. This is the place to bronze if your’e after a happy balance of beauty and zen. Tantric Tanning boasts to be one of the few salons in the area to house the Matrix Class L22 bed; basically, the grandaddy of beds. 40 ieStyle Jun/Jul 2010

Hollywood Tans, Riverside & Upland You like to stay red carpet ready, right? That’s why there’s Hollywood Tans. It’s one of the largest indoor tanning operations nationwide, and they’re are all about the vertical glow. Need clarity? Hollywood Tans specializes in vertical tanning, which they deem, the “most sanitary and the optimum way to avoid pressure points and get a beautiful, even tan everywhere.” Booths go from 42 bulbs, 54 bulbs and 60 bulbs each getting you closer to bronze and further from burned. According to Riverside manager, Michelle Hamzeinejad, “We’re not in the business to burn.” Each stand-up bed is high pressure, equipped with a fan overhead, thumping tunes and filed with square shaped glass to help you achieve your desired look. Early on, Hollywood Tans partnered with Mystic, so they’re totally in the know. A mystic at Hollywood Tans means choosing from four different colors, then spending a few short minutes inside of the voice activated chamber. Turn around four times and you’re a golden goddess. Hollywood Tans wants you to get the most out of your visit, so before you Mystic, it’s important to be aware of the Spray Tan Commandments, with number one being “Start Fresh,” come in clean and exfoliated, if you want your tan to really take. Another tip….spend a few moments in the UV booth to open the pores then hop over to the Mystic and make it stick. And when they’re not giving you lessons to live by,

Hollywood Tans keeps you up on fashionable ways to maintain your glow……wear neon hues and go gaga for gold accessories to start. The salon boasts a “Beauty Bar” so you can freshen up post-session. Need mints, hair ties, hair spray, baby wipes? It’s all there. Finally, any glamazon knows you have to tan with Grade-A lotions. Hollywood Tans has their own line and they’re designed just for you. Whether you’re a Rodeo Drive kind of tanner, a Green Room girl (vegan, gluten and paraben free) or a Red Carpet Tingle lotion lady, it’s all there. Strut your stuff, Hollywood Tans style!

Palm Beach Tan, Corona & Norco

Tantastic, Redlands

A trip to Palm Beach, Florida? What would be the purpose, when you could get a Floridian, just-from-the-beach-glow in your own backyard? Palm Beach Tan, which boasts five locations in the Corona/Norco area, is the gem of tanning options in these parts. Pick your level: Bronze, silver, gold or platinum. Each piece of equiptment (and there are countless types) is designed to provide you with the tan that’s ideal for who you are. Have a date coming up? Palm Beach Tan has answers. The knowledgeable staff will set you up with the best program for your needs. Palm Beach Tan has been bronzing booties since 1990, so they’re a trusted name in the industry, upholding high cleanliness standards and always staying ahead of the curve with the latest in tanning technologies. With the yellow walls, the cool locale is like a day by the beach. Palm Beach Tan prides itself on rewarding it’s members (you like gifts) and offering a little extra with an experienced staff that goes through rigourous training to become a Smart Tan™ professional. It’s your skin, you don’t want to trust just anyone with it. One of the most appealing things about Palm Beach Tan, besides their reputation, is the oversized boutique that you’ll find in some of their locations. So, you have the tan but you’re still on the hunt for the perfect suit, consider yourself outfitted! According to the salon, “Life needs color all year long,” so don’t limit yourself.

The only thing that rhymes with “fantastic” is tantastic. Set your sights on Tantastic Tanning in Redlands. It’s one of the most innovative salons in the area, with a commitment to new methods and state of the art equipment. Tantastic encourages guests to “take it up a notch,” and that’s easy to do when they offer three levels of tanning. Start with the Velocity, HP 1000. It’s a high pressure, major browning bed that delivers those luxury results in fifteen minutes, tops. This open design, futuristic bed is one of the most advanced and coveted in the tanning world. The Solar-Force gets you darker, faster and longer with 48 lamps and 180 watt system lamps. That’s color coordination. Additionally, it takes just nine minutes to get your glow on in the high pressure stand up. Every inch gets tan! Though their UV beds are unique and deliver top notch results, Tantastic offers a high class sunless tanning option with Mystic tan. This spray tan option gives you color in less than 60 seconds, and it’s a non-claustrophobic system that provides three levels of tanning. And like any good tanning spot, the Redlands locale is home to a boutique, so you can grab those oh so cute duds on your way out. You’ll need a new bikini to show off your dazzling color. You’ll look, Tantastic! Tantastic Tanning is located at: 1235 Indiana Court, Redlands. 909.335.8826 l www.tanningattantastic.com

Darque Tan, Chino Hills A tanning salon where the energy makes you want to show off your dance moves? That’s Darque Tan in Chino Hills. The high-energy spot offers some of the most advanced practices in tanning today, employing a full-time cleaning staff and highly trained consultants. As if the luxe digs (touch screen technology to display the salon menu) and the reputation weren’t enough, the beds are makings of the sunless gods. The location plays home to more than 20 tanning beds. Considering themselves the “ultimate in tanning power,” Darque Tan offers five levels of tanning in futuristic tanning beds. The big deal? The High Pressure P-90. You’d be surprised at what can happen in twelve minutes. The bed offers quadruple misty breeze with double jets and wave control, three levels of body intensity and four levels of facial intensity, high performance stereo speakers (you must get your grove on as you gleam) and a self-contained air conditioner. It makes sense that something this beautiful, could beautify you. This is a 5Star luxury system that can’t be beat. Level two beds or Lotus beds (akin to purple spaceships), take up 20 minutes of your time, but come complete with adjustable facial lamps and multispeed fans for body cooling. Kick it up to level three and you’re dealing with the S-Class. Twelve minutes of tanning and three afterbronze minutes later leave you with a gorgeous glow. The double cooler and aromatic lounge doesn’t hurt either. Go Mystic and you’re done in 60 seconds. Darque Tan likes giving away freebies as much as they like to color their clients. From lotions to free mystics, Darque Tan wants to give back. So, pump up the volume and prep for high tech tanning. Darque Tan is located at: 13089 Peyton Drive, Chino Hills

Things are looking Upland

Fruit festivals, old world values, class and Grade-A style, make up the once rural city of Upland. ieStyle tells you the where to’s on “The City of Gracious Living.” By Candace S. Abbott Upland is a well populated city incorporated in 1906 and sits at a 1,242 foot elevation. A city that maintains many of its historic features from the iconic street Euclid, to its commitment to citrus fruits and a lush landscape. Once coined, “The City of Gracious Living,” Upland, California makes you wish for lazy summer days spent in the park and strolls through the delicate neighborhoods with ice cream in hand. There’s an old fashioned charm that takes up residence in the small city. Perhaps, it’s the ranchstyle homes, the arching tree tops, the locally owned bicycle shoppe, flower gardens that crowd residential streets or the train tracks that run through the city. It’s hard to tell. But there’s no doubt that Upland is a tight-knit community with touches of style that lie along its streets.

Downtown Upland is marked by a precious archway bearing the town’s moniker. Not too far in the distance sits a white gazebo that’s perfect for a summertime break. A leisurely walk down 2nd Street will most likely land you at the doorstep of Purvis Gallery. If the Marilyn Monroe vignette in the storefront doesn’t draw you in, the black and yellow doors will.

Discover Upland scene outfits the window. A stunning printed image of the bombshell takes center stage, while curated accessories adorn the rest of the space. Mirrored candelabras, glistening chandeliers, black and white feather-trimmed pillows, a luscious mirrored vanity and screen printed wallpaper all call this space their own. It’s gorgeous! Purvis Gallery has been standing for twenty years (ten in Upland) and its no wonder as the full-service shop creates custom prints, custom artwork and custom wallpaper. Plainly put, if you have a favorite print, you can have it all over your walls with the help of the artists at Purvis. Recently, the gallery designed a wallpaper with inlaid miniature mirrors to resemble diamonds...a home enthusiasts dream, indeed.

The owner, Art Purvis, handles his customers with care and always has them top of mind. He’s been able to provide the people of Upland (as well as local and international visitors) with unique, hardto-find pieces without sending them into the poor house. Purvis Gallery keeps things fresh with rare German artwork, porcelain vases from Korea, lust-worthy chandeliers, dainty zebra-printed sitting chairs and hand-crafted art pieces. And if you’re in the market for an image of the Eiffel Tower in a frame, within a frame, within a frame, Purvis is your palace. According to Art, you can’t be afraid to buy what you like. He knows this first hand. And his mantra? “Buy it, like it, love it.” Grab that peacock feathered pillow and be about your business.

fter gathering a few femme-meetsworldly items to deck out your abode, chances are you’ll feel compelled to outfit yourself. That’s when you make your way to some of the darling boutiques of Upland. First stop, Dahlia’s Boutique. Hot pink double doors open up to what feels like an over-sized walk-in closet. A high-ceiling and vintage details on the wall make up the space. Soft lighting lure you toward the manicured racks of bright frocks, tops, rompers and shorts all hanging on delicate velour hangers. Captivating accessories take to the center of the space. The beaded belts wait to be tried, as do necklaces, bangles and cocktail rings. Big Buddah bags are also on hand. Chances are you’ll be drawn to the Hibiscus satchel--the perfect summer accessory--a small canvas 46 ieStyle Jun/Jul 2010

bag covered in tan leather flowers. It’s an ideal addition to flowy tops and sexy halters courtesy of the line Double Zero. And what’s summer without hats? Dahlias has an array of fedoras on hand to help you keep your cool all season long.

Discover Upland

A few stores down and you will have stumbled upon Ellare Clothing Boutique, a tongue in cheek spot that touched down on Upland soil in November 2008. The colorful shopping destination, owned by Lily Ramos, is filled with denim favorites and summer sizzlers. From Frankie B. Jeans, to studded Rock n’ Republic jean shorts, to sunshine friendly white jeans, Ellare is fully stocked. Lilly also believes in bringing in smaller lines as well as indie designers to maintain that local feel. Consider this an equal opportunist shopping adventure. Lily has worked with design students in the past to develop, produce and carry their initial collections. The local love runs deep at Ellare. VaVa Voom is one of the small name designs with big style that meets all of your summer denim needs. Think organic fabric and an equally eco-wash for the seasonal rompers. Seamless day to night transition are a must among the Upland set. When Lily’s not keeping her ear to the ground for fresh, new designs, or hushing her sweet little chihuahua, the design school alum (who carries her own designs in-store) fills the place with must have Ed Hardy bikinis and monokinis, sunglasses and board shorts for the boyfriend. Ellare is also the only Upland spot to score body wash, lotion, hand-poured candles and fizz balls by luxe brand LR Boutique. For more LR excitement, you’ll set your sights on Lady Revolution, Lily’s line. It’s a whimsical mix of screen-printed tees and jersey dresses (yes, you can expect the maxis), that are crafted with versatility, comfort and quality in mind.

Discover Upland

hances are all of the shopping has left you needing a bit of a recharge. Upland has no shortage of eateries, but if it’s an iced latte and small bites you seek, Boomers Coffeehouse is the place for you. It sits nearby the Metrolink station, so its easy people watch while you sip. Though the exterior has a retro feel, the inside is anything but. The mod interior is made up of Bertoia side chairs, tulip tables and chairs, midcentury couches and an iconic baby blue fireplace. Clusters of light are situated overhead, offering color-infused light and the long bar, which might look like a prime place for martinis, is lit by cylinder lights in “coffee sleeves.” The brew is gourmet and the machiato is divine as are the long list of ice-blended beverages and cold tea lattes. The Chai Loco is the must have beverage—it’s where chai and espresso meet. Now there’s the energy you needed! Gail and Lance, the owners, are committed to delivering natural goodness and free WiFi(can’t complain there). No doubt, you’re amped up and ready to continue your adventure through this gracious town. Get ready to kick off your shoes at the Upland newcomer, Theory Nail Lounge. The spot opened last winter and has been gathering a cultish following ever since. Maybe it’s the spalike atmosphere, maybe it’s the non-traditional set-up or maybe it’s the exotic acrylic options (150 to boot) and the array of nail colors (OPI and China Glaze, naturally) to chose from. myspace.com/boomerscoffee 48 ieStyle Jun/Jul 2010

Discover Upland Whatever it is, you’ll wiggle your toes with excitement as you sink into one of the cozy, custom designed leather chairs and prep for your pedi. Serene hues of green, champagne, taupe and a soft blue make up the back of the house palate, but the unique, trendy space outfits the front of the house with bright red leather chairs and stations for manicured customers. It doesn’t matter if it’s fingers or toes getting the treatment, because your whole being is getting the special treatment. You’ll find cubbie holes just for your handbag, double pedi stations if you want to lounge back with a beau or bff (or maybe even your mom), the hot stone Theory Exclusive pedi, six treatment rooms for waxing and massage and an extrasanitary experience. Imagine, a place where tools are used once and pedi sinks are lined.

Surely, you’ve found pure bliss. But this is also the home of serious creativity. For acrylic loving ladies, the lounge offers 3D raised nail art. Deck out your digits in pretty summer flowers or even, yes, even Miss Hello Kitty herself. One of Theory’s top technicians, Kellie, boasts over twelve years in the business. She knows nails. Make it a party at Theory if you’d like. Grab a group of girls, bring in your favorite flick and pedi up with your besties. And to show you just how far a trip to the nail salon has come, you can book online to guarantee your spot. Who else can offer you that?

our day in Upland is coming to a close, but you still need to find the grub, which should be easy as pie or pasta. Skip over to Upland’s famed, authentic Italian deli and grocer, Claro’s Italian Market. The small market is reminiscent of a 1950’s East Coast scene. The shelves are stocked with bright red cans of tomato paste, while baskets overflow with fresh Italian loaves. The specialty food store imports most of their product directly from the “booted” source. Fill your basket with imported pastas, rich herbs and authentic candies like Torrone, order a box of Italian cookies or panettone. You’ll find yourself in a culinary wonderland.

High-quality olive oils are yours for the taking as well. But probably the most pleasing part of Claro’s is the deli. In traditional fashion, you’ll take a number and await one of the butchers to fulfill your needs. Antipastos, seafood, cured meats, salads, soups and catered platters are only the beginning. You can score a delicious sandwich between these walls; perhaps, one of the best west of the Mississippi! Meatballs and provolone have never done you so right. Claro’s also offers up tons of Old World recipes and hosts cooking classes from time to time. Now that’s amoré.

Simplistic Elegance Takes Up Residence Deck out your digs in flee market style finds and grab a gift or two. Castles & Cottages call The Crossings its new home. By Candace S. Abbott

grand city goes hand in hand with an equally spectacular market. Townspeople and visitors gather weekly to scoop up unique treasures and delicate finds. They rush home to integrate the new addition into their growing collection. It’s only natural to then beam with pride over the wonderment the new object has created. Corona is not one of the world’s big cities nor does it strive for such a title. However, it does offer its townspeople the joy of a personal treasure, thanks to a small shoppe, Castles & Cottages. For the traveler who’s had to halt exotic excursions or the gift giver or avid collector, this charming storefront is the market you’ve all been waiting for. 54 ieStyle Jun/Jul 2010

After a recent relocation from Dos Lagos to the Corona Crossings, Castles & Cottages has found the perfect home. The shoppe is nestled along a walking path, just a few feet from a babbling brook and without trying, immediately commands your attention. Upon entry you’re greeted by what looks like a savvy dinner party. A solid black wooden table plays home to a host of cheeky serving platters with sayings like, “Dining In is the New Dining Out” and “Life is Short, Eat Dessert First.” Hefty white flour tins, salt & pepper shakers, butter dishes, salad plates and the like all sit pretty, just waiting to be snatched up by an appreciative owner.

A few steps to the left and you’ll find a Provencal wonderland, where lavender sachets, soaps and delicate purple trinkets dwell. Across the way is what the store owner, Adelle Montoya, has dubbed “le bebe.” This sweet vignette features pink and blue sparkling gifts, soft blankets, layettes, baby beanies and all of the little extras to prepare for the arrival of a precious little person.

to bring these special things close to home. Adelle’s travels to the whimsical shoppes in Orange County and the off-the-beatenpath nooks of Santa Barbara have inspired much of her offerings. It’s a coastal feel, just a stone’s throw from your home. And by coastal, one could interpret that as TransAtlantic. The “Parisian Loft”vignette has enough Francophile power to leave Amelie questioning her allegiance. Eiffel Tower lamps make for a perfect room addition as do coffee table books that’ll inspire and teach you the art of the French home. Oh la la, for sure!

t’s clear that this place is an amalgam of all things femme and sweet. But like any woman, there’s a splash of the wild side. Past the rustic candelabras, sequined tissue boxes, powder puffs, sterling silver tea strainers, cabbage roses, mosaic mirrors, bridal musts (“I Do” shoe appliqués, perhaps), French-milled soaps and crèmes, you’ll find leopard print aprons, zebra throws and animal printed martini glasses. Surely, you’re in a “girl’s night out” heaven. This edgy side of Castles & Cottages doesn’t stop with a few primal patterns. Vintage inspired hand mirrors tell who’s the fairest of them all with the word “Diva” etched onto the frame. An old-fashioned case is filled with…no, not fresh water pearls, but blinged out accessories including bracelets, monogram necklaces, computer mice and even calculators. It’s enough to leave you taking up residence with the glitterati. The owner herself has made no secret of saying these are the items she loves. So, Adelle makes it her goal

Perhaps, it’s a personalized gift you’re after, like one of Cynthia H. Designs ID bracelets or a Fringe jewelry tray or you just need a pick-me-up gift for yourself…..Castles & Cottages is Corona’s magical little nook that just happens to be a royal success. Castles & Cottages is located at: The Corona Crossings 2540 Tuscany St. #102, Corona 951.738.9732.

Change Positions

Start sweating. ieStyle Mag has the skinny on three new and sexy ways to do it! By Candace S. Abbott

We have been programmed to believe that a decent workout session requires a mindnumbing thirty minutes on a cardio machine. Sure, the gym is a familiar and loyal friend, but the thought of the elliptical can sometimes prove to be less than exciting way to spend post-office hours or a Saturday morning. So, conundrum arrives--get your body moving, enjoy yourself and maybe, just maybe, even learn something. The answer to the common riddle is simple. Explore the latest fitness trends sweeping the land. There is no watching the clock or calculating calories involved, just a serious workout, serious results and serious fun.

Belly Up Enroll in a belly dancing class at Anahata Movement Arts in Riverside...today! A host of skilled instructors, some like Aziza Sa’id, a well-known and celebrated teacher with over 30 years of experience, will leave you impressed with yourself in no time. You’ve trusted the classics for your wardrobe, it’s time you applied the same to your wellness regime. While most first-timers are familiar 56 ieStyle Jun/Jul 2010

with the rapid lower body shaking, full body rolls and shimmies as “belly dancing,” much of the movement is dictated by the hips. The belly is the strength and sustains the movement, but much of the work happens at the hips. In the West, we’ve come to recognize this traditional dance as a workout (because we are in constant search of a cardio replacement), but this style of dance has its roots in Middle East, as both the Arabic dance, raqs sharqi and Turkish çiftetelli. Both of these types of dance are tightly knit with celebratory events. At the studio, beginners happily enter the world of forward and backward figure eights. This hips-only move is initially more difficult than you’ll anticipate, though the snake-like quality soon registers. Eventually, the lower body will create a crafty equation with ease. From there, a pleasant instructor, such as Ash’a, revels the calculated movements of sways and mayas.

So it goes, you’ll find yourself forming a frame with the arms that draws the audience eye to the isolated hip movement. They move in a sinuous motion or create curves around the body. Chest bumps, gushes, graceful transitions and full body shimmies don’t go unaddressed in a beginner’s lesson. By the end of that first class you’ll know that some sort of aerobic activity had ensued. But mostly you’ll find pleasure with the overall spirit that fills the room. What’s more, you’ll secretly wish to perform a farewell dance to the cardio isle. Anahata Movement Arts is located at: 3742 Tibbets Street, Riverside, CA 951.276.9642 www.anahatamovementarts.com

Spin City

o bikes, no crowded classes, no bulky thighs. The new way to spin is with your upper body. Say hello to The SpinGym®. The SpinGym is a serious workout designed to tone, strengthen and sculpt your arms, chest, back and shoulders. Who thought to marry three pieces of aluminum alloy and a heavy duty cord? None other than Forbes Riley (yes, that’s her real name). You’ve seen her face all over your television and felt her energy blast through the screen. She’s the forty-something wife and mother of twins, who’s business savvy is as strong as her grip. After birthing her twins (who each weighed 7 pounds), Forbes needed a way to kick the baby weight and so this Gyrotronic Resistance Training piece was born. Thanks to this lady, you can plan to look lavish in tank tops this season. According to Forbes SpinGym, unlike weights and machines, which target one muscle group at a time, “Activates and fires multiple muscle groups simultaneously--working both major and minor muscle groups in addition to stabilizing muscles.” Here’s your chance to lose the arm flab. SpinGym means no weight or bands and you control the resistance (based on how fast and how hard you pull). Expect anywhere from 4 to 23 pounds per pull. Forbes gladly teaches you over a dozen exercises and ways to use your new found friend. You’re going to love your toned upper body, but you’re really going to love the commitment. SpinGym doesn’t need thirty minutes of your day--give that to the shoe department at Nordstrom. Give it a 5 minute go round (2 to 3 times a day) and you’re done. If you’re bored at your desk, waiting at the DMV, waiting on your latte, waiting on your date, you can bust out the handy and compact little gym. You can save the excuses this season. www.myspingym.com

everywhere. It’s not just another “sweatin to the oldies” kind of class. Zumba Fitness classes fuse together “interval training sessions with fast and slow rhythms and resistance training.” The end result is a tone and sculpted body, because you’ve burned off the fat. The variation in beats allows each muscle group to get special attention. The Zumba Fitness Program makes easy transitions from cardio to toning to strengthening with calculated beat and tempo changes. It’s like being at the hottest Latin dance club in your workout gear. And if you’re not sure what to expect in terms of moves, know that Zumba borrows from Cumbia, Belly Dancing, Mambo, Samba, Tango, Salsa, Hip-hop, Flamenco and a few others. The pounds literally melt off as you work up a sweat and laugh while doing it. Instructors are licensed and trained, so don’t worry about being steered by a rhythm-less nation. Oh, and if for some ridiculous reason you travel out of the IE, you can pick up Zumba in 75 different countries. Shake your grove thing and the pounds all at once. Zumba® is offered at LA Fitness and 24HourFitness Clubs throughout the Inland Empire. www.zumba.com

f your mantra is “Ditch the workout, join the party,” you’re in! The craze that’s taken over your gym is called Zumba®. It’s a come-hither homage to “hypnotic Latin rhythms” and dance moves. Consider this: Sign up, walk in and for the next hour experience an energizing and calorieburning good time. Zumba made it’s debut in the early 1990’s thanks to a gentleman by the name of Beto Perez (celeb fitness trainer). In his native Colombia, Beto was teaching an aerobics class. He forgot his music but improvised--like a real star--and hosted a class that bubbled over with salsa and Meringue. This movement shook the workout world and hit Miami first. Now’s it’s 58

Think back to your last trip to the dentist. Chances are you’ve taken yourself back to a quaint office where wave music plays and a peculiar smell lingers. You’re revisiting the day you learned that a root canal was a must. Pre-op jitters begin to creep in and above all, the thought of the forthcoming pain escalates. Dr. Coracel Templo-Johnson decided to prove that not all dentist offices are created equal. By replacing the cavity drill with the post-visit massage thrill, Parkridge Dental Spa has made a place for itself as one of the Inland Empire’s top spots for cosmetic dentistry, Lumineers, cosmetic bleaching, Invisalign, white fillings and yes, microdermabrasion.

It’s not often that the words “dental” and “spa” coexist, but under the Parkridge roof, the two form an unquestionable union. Gone are the stiff chairs outfitted in plastic and offensive fluorescent lighting. Wave music has left the building along with a constant video loop of Titanic. Replacing the usual suspects are oversized and ultra comfortable chairs, trickling fountains, computerized treatments, soothing tunes (think spa serenity), relaxing lighting and spa treatments during your dental services. And in traditional spa fashion, the staff is as friendly as they are thorough.

When “schedule dental appointment” makes its way to the top of your “to do list,” you’ll certainly know why.

Arriving at Parkridge Dental Spa might lead you to forget you’re there for dental work, because like an oasis, the spa is tucked away from the busy streets of Corona. Although it makes its home on a humble corner spot just off of Main, the dental spa exudes a serious sense of grandeur. An earthen exterior makes way for a posh interior that suggests a day of pampering lay ahead. Candles are lit and fresh white orchids adorn the treatment rooms, massage tables are awaiting the next patient and a sweet smell fills the place. So, though a day of relaxation may be on the brain, most patients arrive

for crowns and bridges with a royal treatment employed. Parkridge Dental Spa is advanced enough to offer sleep dentistry, Twilight (heavy sedation) and IV sedation for those ladies (and gents) who don’t exactly relish dental services. Come back from an oral surgery and soften up with paraffin treatments, an oxygen facial, acupressure, or some hot stone massage therapy. Relaxed and radiant? That’s the look the ladies of the Inland Empire are truly after. And why not add a little extra? Parkridge has a licensed nurse practitioner that is trained in Botox and dermal fillers.

Wax Not, Want Not

S Lina Kennedy photo by: Studio Alexandria

Age-old hair removal methods have taken the backseat to a much sweeter option. Welcome, Body Sugaring. 62 ieStyle Jun/Jul 2010

tanding about 5 foot 2, Lina Kennedy, is a Canadian-born wonder woman and world authority on hair extraction, who loves to wax poetic on the benefits of sugar (this is the only kind of waxing Lina has anything to do with). However, she’s not talking about that stuff the doctors are telling you to stay away from, it’s all about Body Sugaring. Ms. Kennedy’s a delightful woman filled with humorous stories and anecdotes, but the most impressive of all her tales takes you back to the early nineties when Lina discovered the ancient Middle Eastern tradition of Advanced Body Sugaring. When Lina caught wave of the hair removal method, she immediately foresaw the magnitude to which this trend would grow. It’s hygienic, eco-friendly and almost painless (by hair removal standards). Lina candidly shares tales of friends sharing their horror stories with me about waxing, electrolysis and neverending shaving nicks and scrapes...”I wanted to help them achieve a painless beauty life.”

So what exactly is Body Sugaring? It’s a unique, not to mention advanced, process that removes the “fuzz” and conditions your skin by using a one-hundred percent natural product. It all starts with Alexandria Professional Sugar Paste (Lina boasts exclusive ownership rights to the product line). The Sugar Paste is so natural that you could eat it--no wax resins, no chemicals and completely bio-degradable. Sugaring grabs hold of those ultra fine and obnoxiously coarse hairs and because of it’s grainy makeup, the paste exfoliates dead skin cells leaving you with baby soft skin.

hink back to the last time you made an appointment to get your bikini line smoothed. You were probably cringing and left with an unsightly mass of red spots. Sugaring makes redness, ingrowns and discomfort a thing of the past. With the summer months on the forefront, the last thing you want decorating your bikini bottoms is a host of ingrowns. Lina personally trains each of her practitioners--meaning every lady that’s touching your lady-parts has spent hours learning the art of sugaring and they each specialized in the Perfect LA Bikini™ and spa services. You won’t leave burned or with strange skin aliments. The Sugaring Paste is applied by hand (no strips) and massaged into the skin where it’s then allowed to seep into the skin. Don’t question it--letting the paste seep means it’s getting into the follicle for a pain-free exodus. Body Sugaring is a must for any woman (or man) who’s ready to rid themselves of unwanted hair. From head to toe, literally (a full leg hair removal includes the toes), sugaring takes it all off !

These days, Lina is circling the globe and educating people on the wonders of Advanced Body Sugaring. But if you’re lucky, you can catch her in the studio spreading her good cheer, praising her puppy Sebastian and telling you to NEVER touch an ingrown, shave or tweeze in between treatments, leave the magic to the “Sugaring Ladies.” Studio Alexandria is located at: 11740 San Vicente Blvd. Suite 105, Brentwood 310.492.5070 For more information on Advanced Body Sugaring or if you’re a licensed aesthetician interested in learning the process go to www.studioalexandriala.com.

How to keep it cool, with an ultra-hot IE summer. By Candace S. Abbott

You’ll search high and low, but sometimes the ultimate summer happenings are right in your own backyard. Let your nose lead you to the quintessential scents of the season (bbq, suntan lotion, fruity drinks) and let your ears follow the sound of a good time. This year you don’t have to spend your summer Saturday’s battling 91 traffic. Gas up the Prius and make your rounds through the Inland Empire for serious summer fun!

Ace of Space The Ace Hotel and Swim Club has made its mark on the kick back culture, but turning a poolside afternoon with strangers into a family-like affair is the work of genius. Pack up a vintage suitcase this summer, then put the top down and high-tail it to Palm Springs

ieStyle Jun/Jul 2010

(an ieStyle editor favorite). There’s no such thing as boredom in these parts. Monday nights aren’t your average lay on the couch and recoup from the weekend kind of nights. Instead, plan for a night of “Rose Tattoo Bingo” at the Amigo Room (the on property bar). Palm Springs’ own, Linda Gerard, ups the ante with a flamboyant evening of every one’s favorite game. According to the Ace, she has done

a way with Judy Garland tunes. If bingo isn’t your thing, make the Amingo Room your Thursday and Friday night spot for funk, house, hip hop, disco and music that makes you just want to dance with resident DJs, DJ Day (who’s shared the stage with Amy Winehouse) and Howie Pyro, a NYC native who hosts Intoxcia Radio live from the Amigo Room. The Ace never falls short, so it’s no surprise that they’re the go to locale for a weekend wind down. Roll out of bed in your bikini and make your way to the pool, where DJ Victor Rodriguez is in charge of the beats. He’s a cool-scene vet, as he helped to create the LA club vibe you know and love.

Let the friendly people of the property tell you; it’s one big happy BBQ! Sometimes they’re dishing up tacos, sometimes it’s sliders, sometimes you’ll choose a roasted pear salad, but not matter the fare, there are plenty of clean, organic cocktails. Kiwi Caphirina, anyone? Ignore the triple-digit temperatures, the Ace manages to keep it cool all week long. The Ace Hotel and Swim Club is located at: 701 E.

Nothing says “It’s June,” like a picnic in the park. Get the checkered table cloth out, fill your basket with wine, cheese, fruit spreads, cured meats and a rustic loaf from the local market and make it a cool summer night at Redlands Bowl. Sure, the Hollywood Bowl is great, but the drive isn’t. The outdoor amphitheater experience doesn’t have to be limited to just Angelenos, IE music lovers need a night of Chopin too. The Redlands Bowl, in all its grandeur, has been standing tall since 1923 and seventy-seven years later, it still attracts a ready and willing set. A Ms. Grace Stewart Mullen established the tone for a cultural venue to welcome the performing arts all summer long. And ever since her dream became a reality, the stone building perched among a handful of charming homes has welcomed visitors from all over. Today, an estimated eight billion

have frequented the beloved Bowl. The 2010 Redlands Bowl Summer Music Festival schedule kicks off with Anthony Kearns, an Irish tenor, and Frank Paul Fetta conducting to a classical connoisseurs fancy. Surely, your Tuesday and Friday evenings won’t be the same this summer. Moving through a delightful set of orchestra performances, jazz nights, a Navy Band, a “Night at the Opera: Famous Arias,” and an Inland Pacific Ballet performance of “The Little Mermaid,” the season is sure to please. Need more incentive to go “bowling?” All performances are free. Classical enjoyment, a stitch of refined entertainment and the possibility of a few Pinot induced memories are a veer from the norm, but as you already know, change is a good thing.

You’re after a cheerful patio, an enticing cocktail list and an atmosphere that ignites your inner city gal. Where shall you consume? Downtown Riverside’s newest gem, Crescent Jewell Restaurant & Lounge--New Orleans inspired Creole/Cajun fusion restaurant, that bursts with flavor (literally). Crescent Jewells menu is one of the best these parts have seen in a while. Simply put, it’s a gourmand’s dream come true, featuring Braised Short Ribs, Blackened Filet Mignon and “N’awlins” favorites like Po’Boys, Shrimp & Grits and Jambalaya. The jovial spot is decked out

with shiny hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, luxe seating throughout, a back-lit (and fully stocked) bar and a grand piano. The patio begs for attention, especially on Saturday nights when the DJ spins a set and live jazz spills from indoors. Feel free to dance. In fact, a little dance floor action is encouraged. Crescent Jewell is an elegant blend of nightlife and nostalgia. Think back to the Jazz Age and enjoy a French 75 with the girls. It’s going to be a long and happy summer.

Crescent Jewell is located at: 3597 Main Street, Riverside 951.684.1000

The I.E. always delivers a cruel, cruel summer. But don’t let the heat get you down. Take a drive on the 15 and prep for some chicks and dip. Clarity? A Loft Hotel (who calls OntarioRancho Cucamonga it’s home) offers poolside pleasures everyday of the week at Splash Outdoor Pool. The non-salt water pool comes complete with WiFi, so if you just want to get away from your desk this July and email a client or two, consider this your spot. Ambient tunes spill out of the speakers from 6am to 11pm. That means you’re welcome to dip from sun up until sun down--literally. Splash Pool has those relaxing aqua hues that A Loft has become known for. And the digs are super mod.

Craddle-like seating help you unwind in the 909 heat, while cute tables and chairs beg that you order a midday cocktail from XYZ bar. Linger late into Thursday, around 8pm, and prep for some serious beats served up by DJ diva, Amanda Rose. She spins all of your favorite 80’s and indie tracks until, well, the pool closes. Or if it’s Wednesday that suits your suit, sip in your two piece on Wine Flight Wednesdays, which kicks off as soon as your laptop shuts off (5pm). It’s a chance to taste local varietals and meet a few new folks.

Sighting

We’re aways from Tinsel Town, but the stars still shine bright east of the Hills. We have some hills of our own. They’re dramafree, rich as can be, big, bright and beautiful. Forgo turning in early and take a drive up to Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa, where star gazing will actually get you somewhere. Cozy up with a blanket and make your way to the great outdoors for a view of the star-studded night skies. Resort guests get treated to VIP treatment as you’ll view the constellations through a high powered digital telescope. Need some help knowing the who’s who of the glittery set? An Astronomer from the San Bernardino National Forest Association is on-hand to give

you the “gossip.” You’ll get a map of the sky to take home to share all of this new found knowledge with your buddies. Lake Arrowhead is one of the best spots in the world for star gazing. Now don’t you feel elite? But before you set your sights high, you might want to head over for a fireside chat on the resort’s private beach and learn about the lake or hear a few tall tales. Roast marshmallows, sip wine and maybe even take in a sunset. Ahhhh the good life.

Easy, leave the chauffeur situation to Temecula Valley Jeep & Wine Tours. Make your way to some of the regions top vineyards, Ponte, Keyways, South Coast and Mount Palomar, via a sweet red jeep. So, how does a jeep tour work? Any day of the week you can shoot over to the Valley and expect to visit three or four wineries and their tasting rooms to sample award winning vinos. You’ll explore the vineyards and groves, enjoy a guided crush pad and barrel room tour, then head out for an off-road adventure, balk over the panoramic views and the

charming picnic style lunch. Gourmet sandwiches? Consider it done. Tour during the day or make it a late afternoon into early evening kind of adventure. And like with any good thing it can always get better. Request a personal photographer to come along and capture each moment, add some flowers to the occasion or request special baked goods or cakes for a sweet ending.

Eastern Influence: The Art Institute of California, Inland Empire Hosts the work of Jerry Muller By Candace S. Abbott

very now and then big city energy takes over the Inland Empire. Last April, it arrived in the form of poignant black and whites. The illustrious work of award-winning photographer, Jerry Muller, was showcased at The Art Institute of California, Inland Empire campus. About thirty people--students, faculty, community members and art enthusiasts alikegathered in the pristine gallery to view Mr. Muller’s latest installment, “New York Revisited 1950-1955” and hear him speak. During those five formative years, Jerry captured the cityscapes of New York City, scenic moments on Long Island and took dozens of portraits.

“Mahattan Monday,” a striking 1953 image of clothes strewn on the line. People peered at architectural images of the Brooklyn Bridge and the Empire State building. Though each image conjured a yearning for and old-timey Big Apple, none so much as two identical photographs that outlined the exhibit and Jerry’s versatility. The same image of Wall Street taken minutes apart--one that shows a trenchal downpour and the other when the rains have softened--left the crowd in awe. Mr. Muller described the appeal of both, one for artistic quality, the other for romantic quality. His candid and honest images have been bought by Kodak, printed and reprinted. However, to have seen the original work and that man behind the lenses was astounding, as all attendees would have agreed.

At the casual cocktail event, Jerry spoke candidly about the photos and about his time in New York City, explaining the excitement of going from high school graduate to well-known photo-illustrator’s assistant in the city. Jerry learned the in’s and out’s of the Madison Avenue advertising agencies, dabbled in their large color labs and began to develop a penchant for other photographer’s work. He was feeling professional and played “Keep searching, keep shooting. Film is with his camera options; he did so over the cheap, art is long, time is fleeting.” -Jerry years, but had a fond appreciation for his Muller Rolleiflex camera (used by the his heroes, Halsman, Penn, Avedon). Most of the exhibit photos were shot using the Rolleiflex. And seeming like a trip back in time, music seeped into the gallery as people looked on at images of Anita Ekberg, “La Dolce Vita’s Sylvia,” in a dramatic costume, images of Muller’s younger sister at different times in her life, 72 ieStyle Jun/Jul 2010

Suite Idea Let this

summer

getaway get the best of you. Wiggle your toes at the Sand. written by: Candace S. Abbott

“Good Morning” adopts a new meaning as you take your morning stretch tangled in luxurious, white damask striped sheets and open your eyes to the the Pacific Ocean. It’s now a “great morning.” Light waves crash against the sand, seagulls perch on your balcony, and the coffee is as fresh as the scene. But this is all par for the course when staying at the Surf & Sand Resort in Laguna Beach.

Just like its own little world off of Highway 1, the resort abides by its own rules. The resort offers 165 guestrooms, which includes 13 luxurious suites, a full service spa and a very popular restaurant, Splashes. An appropriately outfitted lobby…..a muted palate filled with brightly hued orchids is where this journey begins. Immediately you’re whisked into that “little world.” Open doors and windows allow for a swift ocean breeze to carry you out to the courtyard of aqua, tan and brown cushioned seating and firepits. You can peer out at the locals walking their dogs or rock formations in the distance.

The Surf & Sand Resort is a bevy of nooks and crannies leading you to one charming spot after another. Down the steps and a twist and turn will drop you off at the resort’s newly remodeled pool. No visit to the resort is complete without a trip to the pool. Calm pool waters coupled with thunderous calls of the Pacific, and a mod backdrop set the scene for a sun-kissed afternoon. The Surf & Sand pool area features mesh, white lounge chairs and an equally posh, and relatively large, white canopy. The look is plucked from South Beach, but booming with SoCal cool.

ieStyle Jun/Jul 2010 83

The two-by-two lounge situation is ideal for a catch up session with your best girlfriend as you sip Surf & Sand Sangria (a mix of lemonade, Skyy vodka, port wine and fresh fruit) and order Maine Lobster Clubs (with avocado mayo). Plush towels are always on hand. The aquatic playground continues to impress with a fresh poolside bar and Barbie-pink and white cushioned couches lining the location. Sunbathing poolside pairs nicely with oceanfront views.

Lazy afternoons in your bikini get followed up by a bit of healing and wellness. Another tuck and turn, through the archway and past ivy lined archways, open up to a delicate courtyard of olive trees, benches, hanging lanterns and a stone fountain. Here sits Aquaterra Spa. This oasis requires you check in at the spa boutique where Voluspa candles, Essie nail polish, Malie body creams and more make their home. You’re then escorted to an ivy covered building. Upon entering you’re greeted with sweet scents emanating from vents throughout. The men’s and ladies lounges both host steam rooms and private hydro-spas for pre or post-relaxation treatment. Once you’ve slipped into the plush spa robes and slippers, a relaxation lounge, a decadent room of earth toned couches, rich colored walls, a mosaic fireplace and soft lighting, begs for your presence. Here fruit, tea and Evian is to be enjoyed with ease. And though the 84 ieStyle Jun/Jul 2010

scene has put your being at ease, there are still treatments to be had. Mud wraps and moisturizing facials are only the beginning. The spa, which roots itself in tranquility, offers waxing services, massages, nail care, men’s skincare, yoga and even in-room bath rituals (complete with aromatic bath condiments); but perhaps the most enticing of treatments are the seasonal treatments. A ginger-citrus sugar scrub followed up by a vishi shower rinse, a back of the body massage, body butter wrap and cranial massage put you in the mood for a long luxurious nap. Aquaterra therapists are like no other when it comes to detail and customization. You’ll feel as though your treatment was designed only for you. No doubt, you’re feeling well.

Cocktail hour at the Surf & Sand is easily arrived at when the famous Splashes is your watering hole. Known for it’s location, perched above the sand and mere feet from the water, Splashes also gets recognition for the quintessential, American coastal cuisine at the head of Chef Louis Butler and as a favorite among the Real Housewives of Orange County. It’s difficult not to gravitate toward the water ’s edge restaurant. A no-holds wine list of over 300 wines pleases the grape-lovers and cocktail connoisseurs get served too with unique spins on classic drinks. The decked out dining room sets a tone of elegance and comfort, while the menu is a beachside gourmand’s dream.

Maine Lobster Bisque, Steamed Carlsbad Mussels and Organic Cheery Tomato and Goat Cheese Tart entice the palate. Impressive mains like Seared Viking Village Scallops and Grilled Swordfish leave you satiated, indeed! Luscious chocolate pot de cremes, Lemon Ricotta Cheesecake, sorbets and after dinner drinks and ports send you away with a smile. Dine outside and invite the waves to join. A full day at the Surf & Sand leaves you feeling relaxed or more appropriately, it leaves you feeling serene. In the suite, shutters are opened to reveal the resort’s backyard, the ocean and it’s neighbors, a village of nearby shops and restaurants, as well as the beauty in the distance, those masses of purple flowers that spill out of Laguna Beach cliffs. The resort’s attention to detail is apparent in each room thanks to custom furnishing; seashell handles adorn each drawer. The soft, beachy palate (think ivory and white) of the Surf & Sand rooms helps to continue the thread of relaxation; tweed chaise lounges, coral striped chairs, luscious orchids, oversized bath towels, Aveda amenities, a jet-filled bathtub that opens to your suite and a welcoming king size bed are truly the makings of peace on earth. Or at least that’s what you’ll believe during your stay on the property. Each room faces the water, so you’ll never worry about missing a wave while hanging on your personal balcony. And bathrobes await guests to enhance the retreat experience, while iPod docs, WiFi and Flatscreen TVs keep you connected day and night. You’ll turn in for the evening, but wake up anxious to do it all over again. As you relax in your room, sliding glass doors thrown open, you’ll feel that familiar cool breeze invite itself in again and you’ll see nothing but a shimmering blue-green mass. Sailboats dance along the water, waves stir up every few seconds and then a peaceful silence arrives as the shoreline escapes and reminds you that this is what summers are made of!

Brunch Fest

ieStyle Magazine’s top picks for summer brunching

By Candace S. Abbott

Miguel’s California Mexican Cocina & Cantina

It’s that meal that was made famous by the “Sex and the City” crew, that meal that can somehow drag you out of bed on a Sunday morning. It’s brunch. Not quite breakfast and not quite lunch, always featuring champagne and savory favorites. Be it benedict, be it bacon or a sweet french toast option, you’re there with your flute in hand, ready to gossip. Make it a sunny-side up summer with the IE’s top spots for ladies who brunch.

2715 Lakeshore Drive, Corona 951.277.7532 l 9am to 3pm

BYOB. Build your own burrito is the name of the game at Miguel’s. Make it healthy, make it hangover friendly, just don’t forget to ask for those bottomless mimosas. Sit lakeside and lap it up.

The Mission Inn 3649 Mission Inn Avenue, Riverside 951.784.0300 l 9:30am to 2:00pm

Plan for a classic buffet-style champagne brunch, under the luscious greenery of the Mission Inn. An omelet bar, fruit piled high, crepes and a bevy of brunch cocktails make for a happier you.

Harry’s Pacific Grill at Victoria Gardens 8009 Day Creek Boulevard, Rancho Cucamonga 909.463.1400 l 10am to 2pm www.Harryspacificgrill.com

Fresh seafood is best accompanied with champagne. Bottomless flutes play BFF’s with a crafty omelet station, a carving station, crab cakes, waffles and breakfast pizzas. If the swanky atmosphere and the fare don’t keep you, the hibiscus cocktails will.

TAPS Fish House & Brewery 2745 Lakeshore Drive, Corona 951.277.5800 l 10am to 2pm www.tapsfishhouse.com

What pairs best with a Bloody Mary? All you can eat oysters, naturally. Choose your favorites and watch them roll out on the half shell until you’re ready to roll out.

Caprice Cafe 104 E. State Street, Redlands 909.793.8787 l All day

Sometimes it’s not all about eggs and hashbrowns. Burgers do the the brunch trick too. Especially blue crab burgers, portobello and spiced lamb burgers. Kick it back with a Saint Germain fizzy cocktail or white sangria and you’re ready to go.

Las Fuentes Mexican Bar and Grill 336 North Eureka Street, Redlands 909.798.0900 l 9am to 3pm www.lasfuentesmexicangrill.com

Every Sunday is a champagne Sunday at Las Fuentes. Enjoy a bottomless bubbles on the patio and couple it Mexican favorites (served buffet-style). Soups, freshly made tortillas, made-to-order omelets are just the beginning. There are traditional Mexican pastries and desserts just waiting for you.

Temet Grill Circa 59 at the Riviera Resort & Spa 1600 N. Indian Canyon Drive, Palm Springs 760.327.8311 l 7am to 11pm

Turn Sunday into a poolside thing, complete with a bellini, a bloody mary or a mimosa, and a gorgeous desert morning scene. Egg white fritatas, smoked salmon and warm donuts with cranberry honey sauce don’t hurt either.

at Temecula Creek Inn 44501 Rainbow Canyon Road, Temecula

877.517.1823

10am to 2pm

Sit creekside and take in the breathtaking view of the hills as you nosh on made-to-order omelets, fresh seafood, pastas, salads and decadent delights like whole wheat blueberry pancakes and pecan praline iron waffles.
