HATS OFF! THE WHO-WHAT-WHEN-WHERE
OF THE HAT
H
WHEN TO WEAR IT AND WHEN TO NOT kCOURTESY OF WWW.EMILYPOST.COM
ats aren’t the essential article of clothing they once were but are still worn by both sexes for fashion and for function. Knowing when to remove a hat is as important as wearing the right hat for the occasion. If you were a medieval knight who failed to remove his helmet or lift his visor and identify himself the consequences could be fatal. Throughout history hats identified social standing and removing a hat was a gesture of respect. In the “old days,” men took off their hats in Christian churches, when they entered someone’s home,
10
when greeting a boss, and always in the presence of a lady. Ladies were entirely exempt from “hat rules,” wearing them whenever and where ever they wished. While some of these customs are now historical footnotes, even in today’s casual culture men and women still remove their hats as a sign of respect. Here’s when it’s fine to wear your hat and when it’s not: Men – Hats can be left on… • Outdoors • At athletic events (indoors or out) • On public transportation
influential-magazine.com
• In public buildings such as post offices, airports, and hotel or office lobbies • On elevators Men – Take hats off, including baseball caps … • In someone’s home • At mealtimes, at the table • While being introduced, indoors or out (unless it’s frigid!) • In a house of worship, unless a hat or head covering is required • Indoors at work, especially in an office (unless required for the job) • In public buildings such as a school, library, courthouse, or town hall • In restaurants and coffee shops • At a movie or any indoor performance • When the national anthem is played • When the flag of the United States passes by, as in a parade Women – Fashion hats (not baseballstyle caps) can be left on… • In someone’s home • At luncheons, weddings, garden parties • At religious services • At a movie or any indoor performance • When the national anthem is played
• When the flag of the United States passes by, as in a parade Women – Take your fashion hat off… • Anytime it blocks someone’s view, such as at a wedding or in a theater • Indoors at work Women – Remove baseball-style (unisex) caps… • In someone’s home • At mealtimes, at the table • While being introduced • In a house of worship, unless a hat or head covering is required • Indoors at work, unless required for the job • In public buildings such as a school, library, courthouse, or town hall • In restaurants and coffee shops • At a movie or any indoor performance • When the national anthem is played • When the flag of the United States passes by, as in a parade
(Cancer patients are exempt from hat rules. They may keep their hats or caps on at all times if they wish.) ●

Types of People
You Should Have in Your Personal Network
T
he old adage, “it’s not what you know, it’s who you know,” isn’t as harsh as it sounds. Underscore it with the phrase “quality over quantity,” and you’re ready to zoom in on the best network for your personal growth. “Networking, building relationships, growing your circle…” – these are the buzzwords and phrases we hear all the time. Today, with the abundance of online networking tools, there’s an added expectation to build your virtual reach with people you’ve potentially never seen or even talked to before. However, there is incredible value in building strong relationships that have an impact, whether they are bringing joy to your personal life or guidance into your professional life. The key is to make strategic decisions in regards to timing and value about the ecosystem of connections in your business, community and industry. Your core group of connections should add value to your professional or personal life by playing one or more of the following roles:
12
kWRITTEN BY Kathleen Lucente
1Informative:
You can call upon this individual because they always have knowledge that you don’t, and they often feel the same way about you!
2
Influencer: A higher-ranked networker than you with significant clout who can, at any given event, add value to your relationship by expanding your network through introductions beyond your existing connections.
3Cheerleader:
Everyone needs a fan club; this individual is a fantastic friend or colleague that energizes you and fuels your creative thinking.
4
Mentor: As someone more senior than you, they have years of experience under their belt that you can learn from. You have been wise to maintain a great relationship with them because they provide you with the invaluable advice of someone who has “been there and done that” before.
5
Mitigator: The person who keeps you centered by helping you find the balance between work life and personal time.
influential-magazine.com
Think about your personal goals and the existing relationships you’ve established in your network, and then ask yourself questions. Is your network too insular? Have you asked your current connections to help your network grow? What kind of result would you like to see from your network? What role do you play as someone else’s’ connection? How can you develop that role further?
The key is to understand your network and how you fit within it. Leverage your connections wisely and broaden as needed, but never underestimate the value of your relationships and the importance of protecting and nurturing them. You should continue to add value to your connections and do so naturally. Always remember that in your networking, the best people give more than they take. l

aaron G. POWELL, Jr.
Editor-in-Chief | InFluential Magazine | Columbus, Ohio Who He Is: aaron has so many notable qualities with honesty and commitment being two that stand out. he leads by example when it comes to commitment and is in the trenches with everyone else getting the job done. his energy inspires others to want to do better. aaron holds himself to a higher standard than most. “I believe your work is a reflection of yourself. as a writer, honesty and ethical behavior must be a part of every story I write.” Most Thrilling Aspect of Journalism: “There’s something to be said for getting the story no one else has, a story that helps bring a new perspective on a topics of interest to the community.” aaron began as a public affairs reporter, and found it amazing how little people knew of what was going on with the decision makers who impact their everyday lives. I knew I found my calling when chasing a story would give me goose bumps. It’s when that little piece of information turns into the biggest story and changes a life. Who He Would Like to Interview: aaron’s interests range from family members to former u.S. presidents; there are so many for different reasons. But right now, his interests blend his love for pop culture and politics. “I would really like to interview the pR people for Donald Trump. I want to know how much work it is to make someone with a really strong personality who most people either love or hate seem likeable to everyone.” How He Inspires Others:“I think a strong work ethic, thinking critically and possessing an insatiable desire to learn are qualities I try to exhibit and hope others see as being desirable. for my family, I try my best to live and work the way I would be proud to see my daughter grow up to be. I don’t always live up to expectations, and that’s ok, but I’m disappointed when I miss the mark and I try my best to be humble when I’ve achieved something great.” aaron is a big history buff and tries to learn the valuable lesson taught throughout history. “I love historical documentaries and reading about interesting people throughout history, mostly american. No one person is my greatest inspiration, I take bits and pieces of the times people have reacted to the world around them throughout history to achieve something of note.” 15

4 Fall Closet Tips to Upgrade Your
kWritten By Laurel Kinney, Personal Stylist
With the change in season, you’re probably most excited about all the cozy layers and non-sandals you’re going to debut. But there’s nothing more frustrating than spending all morning in search of those boots you want to wear but can’t find because your closet is a tangle of tired sundresses and ill-fitting pants from last season.

F
all is the perfect time to reorganize, restock, and truly upgrade the way you use your closet. Here are a few easy steps you can take towards taming your coolweather wardrobe this autumn:
a 1 Do seasonal sort When providing personal styling services to a new client, I always recommend separating a closet according to the season. Taking out the clothes you know you’ll only wear in the summer (linen suiting, embroidered peasant tops, strappy sundresses) will help clear the way for your fall closet. If you’re short on space, simply shift your cold weather clothing to a more accessible position in the closet and place the summer garb in the back. This is also a great time to donate the summer clothes that are either too worn or too trendy to wear another season. When your winter clothes are more visible, do another quick sort to filter out the items that no longer fit, are motheaten or stained, or have lots of pilling (those stubborn little balls that collect on your knit fabrics).

4 Accessorize your Closet
This goes for both your ‘til-next-season summer items and your can’t-waitto-wear winter items. Professional organizer Jessie Tilton of The Fix recommends storing summer items away in a clearly labeled “airtight, dark colored container to protect them against any moisture or fading.”
Jessie suggests storing boots in a place other than your closet, like near an entryway or mudroom. As for maintaining boots through the season, she says, “consider having your boots waterproofed and then getting a boot clip to help them stay upright and keep their shape. Boots shapers are another option, but have a tendency to make the boots unsteady and fall.
Since you’re already in there, why not upgrade your closet accessories for the new season? Trade in your bulky, slippery plastic hangers and your messy-looking wire hangers for slim velvet-coated hangers. These will save 25 percent of your closet space plus keep your clothing in place without creating those annoying shoulderwrinkles. For your heavier items, use sturdier wooden hangers.
Once you’ve freed up some vital closet space, you can concentrate on making your fall closet more efficient by changing the way you store your attire. Jessie suggests that sweaters be folded instead of hung. “Try the vertical method of folding [in a drawer] instead of stacking. This way you can see what you have... like a filing system for your clothes,” she says.
Keep the boots you wear most often upside down, on a boot stand. You might also invest in some super-useful clear shoeboxes. You can slide your summer shoes to the upper reaches of the closet while keeping them dustfree and still visible.
Following these tips should help on your way to an easily navigated closet. This fresh outlook on what you own, and where the gaps in your wardrobe might be, could lead to some fun fall shopping! l

maKeup tips for the
Fall tRaVeleR kWritten By sara DaLe, sKin tHeraPist anD MaKeuP artist For Jose Luis saLon
1 The summer heat can last until early fall, depending on where you travel. My first tip would be to pick an appropriate primer to help your makeup last longer. I love using Kevyn Aucoin’s The Primed Skin Developer in the normal to oily formula because it fights humidity.
2
Get your skin glowing this autumn season with a multi-function bronzer. Kevyn Aucoin’s The Celestial Bronzing Veil in Tropical Nights Cool Breeze looks gorgeous on all skin tones. The top of the compact includes a lighter shade that you can use as a highlighter, the middle as a transition eye shadow and the bottom shade as your all over bronzer.
3
For long-lasting lashes, I recommend lash extensions. They last up to three weeks and are perfect for travelers that will be gone for a long period and don’t have time to constantly re-apply makeup. I personally use Lavish Lashes, in my opinion they are the gold standard.
4 My favorite facial cleanser is very unique. YON-KA’s Eau Micellaire cleanses, tones and lightly hydrates your face, eyes and lips with sea lavender. Talk about having it all in one! Apply this waterbased cleanser to a cotton pad and wipe the day away. Plus, it’s perfect to apply on a plane ride to refresh and soothe your skin. A fall travel must! l

WHY Hire a Wedding PLanneR?
W
ell, I hate to break it to you, but...you can’t do it all yourself. Not the way professional wedding planners can. An experienced planner knows the industry backwards and forwards, and has spent years perfecting their trade and building invaluable vendor relationships. While I could write a book about the ins and outs of wedding planning, I’ve broken down to the TOP 5 Reasons Why You Should SAY YES to a Wedding Planner:
kWriTTen By Michele Fannin, ModiSh
event Planning owner & luXury event SPecialiSt
Budgeting Expertise The budget determines everything: the guest list, vendor selection, wedding date, venue, event design and the full guest experience. Our job is to educate clients on vendor pricing and select options that best fit their unique style and budget. Having an experienced professional help determine a balanced budget customized to fit your top priorities is a must!
Save Time & Money We guide our clients in the areas where cutting costs is appropriate, saving them from unnecessary expenses and making costly mistakes. An hour of overtime with a venue or photographer can add up, which is why wedding planners spend hours on a budget and timeline for the wedding and keep it in check. The average wedding takes 200+ hours to plan and most couples have full-time jobs, so taking on a “second job” is not ideal. The last thing I want clients to do is spend their entire engagement planning their wedding! We break the to-do list into manageable increments, making the process less stressful and allowing time for much needed breaks. Vision & Theme You may have a Pinterest board full of ideas or you’ve dreamt of your wedding your whole life. That’s great, but these are only ideas and they require execution. A wedding

planner can look at your ideas and see the big picture. We help interpret your style and create a theme. Event design should flow harmoniously, and there are many small details that make a huge difference in the overall guest experience. Dream Team Wedding planners will guide you to the “best” vendors for your personal style and budget. We know who is professional, reliable and trusted within the industry, and have firsthand experience so you don’t have to waste your time sifting through reviews. It can be overwhelming for couples to discern which vendors to choose and it can be worth its weight in gold to involve a wedding planner from the start. Stress Relief When it comes to your wedding day, you should be able to relax, sip champagne, and savor the moment with the love of your life, friends and family. Your wedding planner, not you, is to be the go-to person for day-of issues and questions that inevitably come up. Issues may arise, but we will make sure you never have to deal with or see them.

Your wedding planner is your wedding mentor, budget advisor, problem-solver, mediator, visionary, creative director, project manager, vendor qualifier, confidant, fairy godmother, timeline maker…the list goes on! Hiring an experienced planner allows you to be fully present on your wedding day, as they work behind the scenes to produce the show…so smile, because you’re the star! l

Advocating on behalf of his clients and maintaining communication with the builder and craftsmen on the project are fundamental to the way Chris works. When challenging situations arise, Chris and his team at Sanders Architecture are able to tap into the knowledge and resources within the firm as well as the broader project team to find a solution. How He Remains Inspired: Youthful creativity and fascination are inspirational to Chris when designing both commercial and residential properties. As a father with young children, the joys of young impressions and discovery have come into focus for Chris. So much of the richness in life – and design – is lost in the details of modern adult life. Experience has taught Chris that if you aren’t having fun at design, then you simply aren’t doing great work. His Greatest Triumph to Date: The biggest accomplishment for Chris has been stepping out on his own to start his architecture firm while raising two young children with his wife, Hannah. After five years of being in business, he is reminded daily that taking a methodical approach to the design process pays off in the quality of his projects and the long-standing business relationships he makes along the way.

aised by a family of entrepreneurs, Monxi Garza learned many of the skills required to run a successful business after years spent helping her mother at her sourcing company, restaurants and boutique hotel. Her studies began in Monterrey, Mexico, where she attended CEDIM before moving to Spain to study fashion at Mod’Art. Garza gained international experience in retail commerce, including quality control, inventory and sales, and product shipping. Her resume includes apprenticeships at Sally Spicer, LOEWE, and Bimba & Lola, where she was hired to work with the shoe design team. In 2015, Garza founded SUAVS, which is currently based in Austin, Texas. Garza’s aesthetic could best be described as relaxed, simple and modern. When it comes to clothing or footwear, comfort is the most important aspect. This is reflected in SUAVS soft fabrics, flexible soles and cool leather detailing. The folks at SUAVS are philanthropic and are partnering with Susan G. Komen for Breast Cancer Awareness month this year. For every pair of white shoes purchased in October, SUAVS will donate $5 to the nonprofit.

Tapatio Springs will host a year-round schedule of events around the new pool. In addition to being an ideal setting for family leisure, this flexible outdoor space is the perfect venue for a variety of business and social events, from corporate team-building exercises and competitions, to evening wedding receptions under the Hill Country’s star-studded skies. The owners of Tapatio Springs, including country music legend George Strait, are reinventing the iconic resort to be a family-friendly, affordable destination that delivers experiences well beyond expectations. This summer also marked the unveiling of the renovated Tapatio Springs Hill Country Golf Course, designed by world-renowned golf course architect Tripp Davis and Associates, who reimagined the original course set in the rolling Texas hillside. The course will receive $1.5 million in restorations envisioned by TDA, which is known across the country for its unique, hands-on approach in creating one original course design at a time.
A new “pure-Texas fare” dining concept is also in the works, where the former LaCascada and TaPatio restaurants will be combined and reopen as the La Cascada Table & Bar. Executive Chef Michael Collins’ menus will be approachable both in offerings and price, featuring regional Texas cuisine, casual steakhouse favorites, and country-rustic sides, as well as refreshed cocktail menus focused on fresh-fruit margaritas and signature cocktails. The atmosphere of the full-service restaurant will be casual and fun, with flexible seating, so guests can dine indoors or out. A short 35-minute drive from San Antonio, Tapatio Springs Hill Country Resort & Spa offers guests close proximity to a variety of nearby adventures in addition to its own exceptional amenities. Nearby Boerne, the “Key to the Hill Country,” is rich with Texas charm, mom-andpop shops and nearly 150 historic buildings. Kayaking, horseback-riding and hiking at nearby state parks are among the dozens of nearby recreational opportunities. “We are excited about all these additions to the Tapatio Springs experience,” said Haugland. “We offer our guests a well-earned respite, delicious food and big-hearted hospitality—because we know the value of escaping the ordinary for a while.” For more information, call (855) 421-0211 or visit www.TapatioResort.com l

Originally from Erie, Cerrie moved to Austin in 2014 to serve as the executive chef of Stella San Jac, where he serves an eclectic Southern menu that embodies the music, flavors and culture that define Austin. Inspired by his great grandmother, “Nonni,” and memories of family fish fries, Cerrie attributes his cooking style to an inherited appreciation for great food served simply.

“Nonni was born in Sicily and came from a large family,” said Cerrie. “We would grow every vegetable you could in Pennsylvania. Whether it was an animal or a plant, Nonni taught us to respect the food we ate, as well as the time and effort we spent growing it. I will never forget the lessons I learned from her as a child.” Cerrie has been in the kitchen for more than 25 years and has prepared
food for celebrities, movie stars and dignitaries, including a live segment on Good Morning America alongside celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse. In 2013, Cerrie was inducted as Chef Rôtisseur into the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, the world’s oldest international gastronomic society that celebrates the practice of choosing, cooking and eating fine cuisine and wine.

Cerrie rigorously worked with a tasting panel to perfect the menu for Stella San Jac and has created a menu sure to appeal to the discriminating palates of just about anyone. “Every week we were honest with ourselves in that the food had to be approachable and delicious.

We have food that is simply prepared, approachable, tasty, a lot of fun, and easy on the eyes.” Stella San Jac’s produce is sourced from several of Austin’s favorite local farms including Oak Hill Farms, Cooper Farms and Labranza Farms to ensure the freshest ingredients are used.
Some of Cerrie’s favorite menu items include Beet Chips, Blueberry Sweet Bread French Toast, Gulf Shrimp and Lump Crab Roll, Pearl Cous Cous and Oil Cured Tomato as well as classics with a twist like Braised Short Ribs with Sweet Potato Mash and Green Apple Slaw. Of particular pride is the #16 Biscuits, named after the number of batches Cerrie tested to perfect its recipe.

oodPop® All-Natural Frozen Pops, an innovative Austinbased popsicle company, has reinvented the classic frozen treat using only organic, non-GMO, fair trade and locally-sourced ingredients to provide a refreshing, delicious, and wholesome frozen treat. GoodPop® provides these mouthwatering delights in unique flavor combinations like Hibiscus Mint, Coldbrew Coffee and Watermelon Agave. In 2009, University of Texas at Austin student Daniel Goetz desired a better-for-you delicious treat to cool off with on hot summer days. Daniel found that almost all of the popsicles he went to purchase included artificial flavoring, coloring and ingredients that most people have never even heard of. Inspired by the fresh fruit ice pops called paletas and Aguas Frescas containing fresh, locally grown fruit he had grown to love while traveling in Mexico, Goetz set out to develop a high quality, all-natural dessert that he and his friends could enjoy. Two months later, GoodPop® hit four Austin-based farmers markets to much success. “My desire for a refreshing and healthy treat quickly became a passion for providing consumers with a delicious yet better-for-you dessert option,” said Daniel, founder of GoodPop®. “We feel extremely fortunate that the popularity of our
popsicles has taken off and we look forward to introducing them to people who value that same healthy lifestyle that we do.” Made in small batches with the freshest ingredients, GoodPop® All-Natural Frozen Pops contain no artificial flavoring and only use a small amount of organic cane sugar. All GoodPop® flavors are gluten free, low calorie, and select flavors are non-GMO and vegan.
GoodPop® All-Natural Frozen Pops are can be found in natural and specialty retailers in 25+ states across the Southwest, West Coast, Pacific Northwest, Midwest, Florida, New England and Rocky Mountain regions. l

Aparte se baten los huevos, la leche condensada, el queso rallado, la canela y la nuez moscada, y se agregan a la mezcla de pan y leche. Se revuelve todo con una cuchara de madera. Por último se añaden las pasas y se mezcla bien. Se hornea en un molde enmantequillado y enharinado a 180°, por 45 minutos aproximadamente, o hasta que al introducir un palillo, éste salga seco.

The heat of summer is slipping away, creating anticipation for the crisp months of autumn. For many, the first of fall means heading to a new semester at college. For you who are anxiously awaiting a new life away from home, or even for those of you who have semesters under your belt, we’re introducing you to some tips that will help you survive the new semester. With the new season and new school year, check out the hottest trends to rock in this fall. New classy, striking styles for both girls and guys are being brought to the table as the weather turns cooler. Long sleeved denim shirts and plaid button-ups are perfect for versatile outfits. They can be worn as a shirt, jacket, or tied around the waist, depending on the temperature. Darker floral patterns are perfect for the transition into autumn, especially when worn with a pair of maroon or military green jeans. Of course, combat boots, are a staple this season, with the simple design bringing an ability to boldly complement any outfit. Additionally, nail polish has made its way into the “must haves” of accessories. Sophisticated shades combined with gleaming decals make a stunning display of art on your nails. The cool and classy styles and colors of this autumn will leave you feeling refreshed and chic.

IN: What would you consider to be the most important thing to keep in mind when doing something difficult or trying something new? JON: Go in with an open mind and at full force and never stop until you succeed.
orking in the grandest theater in the US, 18 year old Jon Viktor Corpuz plays the role of Prince Chulalongkorn, the heir apparent to the throne in the 2015 Broadway revival of The King and I. He shares his fun facts, opinions, and goals to us in this Teen Spotlight interview.
IN: What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail? JON: Write and star in my own musical alá Lin Manuel-Miranda.
IN: What is your go-to clothing item? JON: Beanie. My hair is always a mess because of my wig. IN: If your life was a song, what song would it be? JON: Vienna by Billy Joel, or BO$$ by Fifth Harmony. IN: What do you think people should do more often? JON: Compliment each other. And tell their loved ones they love them more frequently. (This includes me). IN: What’s the last thing you’ve done that you’re proud of? JON: Officially decide to start at NYU this fall and not defer a year. I’ll be doing 8 shows a week and doing a full college curriculum at the same time! I’m a psychopath!

IN: What barriers have you had to face as a teen in the industry, and how have you gotten past those barriers? JON: I think just trying to prove myself as an artist to fellow adults. And to be treated as such. People look at teens as young and unprofessional and inexperienced and naïve, which some are, but there’s way more to us than that and it’s an overgeneralization. It’s been a little difficult to get past that, it’s something I’m still tackling, it gets a *tad* tiring to always hear about how young I am. I want to be good, period. Not just good for my age, you know? IN: If you had the chance to rewind to one day in your life to do something differently, which day would that be and how would you change it? JON: There are so many things that have been
influential-magazine.com
embarrassing or that I’ve regretted in the past! But I think it’s important to remember that everything happens for a reason. And as long as you have tried your utmost best, as says the King’s letter in the show, and as long as you’ve learned from your mistake(s), let the past be in the paaaaaaaast and LET IT GO! Learn from it, improve yourself, move on. IN: You have portrayed a variety of characters within your career. How does playing different characters affect your sense of self? JON: You discover more about yourself, especially when you step out of your comfort zone. When I played Angel in RENT and the Emcee in Cabaret in high school I discovered SO much about myself in so many ways. There’s also the aspect of art mirroring life and vice versa. I find a lot of similarities between myself and Chula. We’re both entering adulthood and both discovering a lot about the world and carving out our places in this vast life. Granted, I’m not about to lead a country by any means, but at times the gravity of things can certainly feel that way. There’s something emotional when a character is so close to yourself. It hits home. IN: What stereotype do you hope to break? JON: That Asian American actors can only tell very specific stories: Miss Saigon, King and I, or be very specific characters: Chinese restaurant owners, doctors, nurses, or scientists. There hasn’t been a MAJOR Asian American pop star in... ever! We have so many more stories to tell and so much to share with the world. While it is definitely getting better, and while we are all SO fortunate for any opportunity to express ourselves PERIOD, we should expect more from our industry and want more. The diversity seen in the world should be reflected in the media, and right now the industry is quite frankly whitewashed. I just think there should be more of a balance. I don’t think audiences care about diversity as much as casting and production anticipates they would. It’s 2015. Let’s get to it! Change is happening but ever so slowly. And hopefully in my lifetime I can be a part of that change in some way, shape, or form.

IN: Many people start their careers while they are still very young. What benefits does this have, and would you say that it is crucial to start early? JON: Everyone has their own path. I think as long as you’ve got great guidance and a good head on your shoulders, you’re able to separate who you are from your “professional persona”. These two things should really be one and the same as we should all be our authentic selves 100% of the time, but I think where people go wrong in this business at a young age is when they don’t have proper guidance, whether that be from friends, family, mentors, etc. and are surrounded by “yes”-people all the time. It’s very easy to buy into the hype of the quote-unquote “celebrity” aspect of this business. The truth is, we’re all just people going through life and doing our own things. We’re all pursuing selffulfillment, whatever that may be. There aren’t any godly aspects of any celebrity, they just happened to have received success on their path and were at the right place at the right time. (Remember we all have to poop and pee! We’re all human!) The danger is when people start to believe they are anything BUT human and start buying into their own hype. It’s good to start early as you have a leg up in terms of establishing yourself, but I say go when you’re ready. I don’t think it’s at all crucial to start early. It’s easy in this business for people to form opinions about you, so go when you’re absolutely ready for that to start happening. ●

Nails Fall’s Finer Colors
Nail polish has long reinforced its reputation as being an accessory that speaks volumes before a formal introduction is even made. There is a color for every mood, personality type, and sense of style. This autumn, new shades of nail polish are bolder and more sophisticated than ever. A coat of deep wine red is both daring and ornate. It is vibrant enough to spark attention, but subtle enough to complement an outfit. The deep, shimmering Aruba blue is the perfect state of the art finish to a modern style. And, for a more subdued hue, the unique forest-like Racing Green provides an innovative, earthy vibe. Of course, a base coat does not have to be a dauntless statement. An eye-catching stripe of gold or silver will bring a classy finish to any shade of polish. White tips or red splatters are only the beginning of the vast array of designs that will make your nails truly shine. So grab a bottle of nail polish and get ready to let your nails make a statement. Go ahead... you’ve got style right at your fingertips!

Dorm Room Days Tips on how to survive your first semester in college It’s your first semester in college, and everything is off to a running start. Here are some tips and tricks from current college students to help you get off on
Getting Along with Your New Roomie
Communicate! Understand the expectations you have for each other, for the room, and discuss how y’all want to tackle the chores that involve all of you. Things to discuss before living together: -Who is going to take out the trash and when? -What temperature will you keep the room? - Ask before you use each other’s things. -Coordinate themes if you are sharing any rooms. -Don’t leave your mess for your roommate to clean up. -Respect each other and their belongings. -Do not eat their food without asking. This can ruin a friendship between roomies. “Don’t say you don’t care. Trust me, you do care.” - Julia Gessner
the right foot with your new roommate, pass those classes, and make your new college dorm your “home away from home.”
Making Your Dorm Room Your New Home
Making the Most of Your College Career
Your room is your personal oasis. Make it a place you can relax and feel happy. Objects to bring: Photos, posters, frames, paintings: hanging pieces of art will make your room feel more personalized. Desk light: Working in good lighting is extremely important and will help maximize your study time. Bookshelf/organizer: You don’t want tons of stuff flooding your room; a clean, organized room will help relieve stress. Pillows or stuffed animals from home: “It’s really comforting to be able to physically hold a stuffed animal you’ve had forever when everything else around you is foreign and new.” - Ahnaliese Bell Comfortable desk chair: “I cannot stress how important a comfortable desk chair is. You will live in this thing 50% of the week!” - Melanie Schroers
Stay on top of your studies - you are there to learn, not to party. - Read the syllabus: You won’t believe how many students fail to read this. Read it and your teachers will love you! -Try a study group: They can keep you focused. However, if the group thing is not for you, try finding a quiet place where you can focus by yourself - like the library or nice bench outside. - Get a planner and organize your materials, one way is to color coordinate by classes or topics. - Flash cards are super helpful for reviewing for tests.
However, it is important to have personal relationships and be involved. This helps to relieve stress and helps you enjoy your time! Besides these are supposed to be the best years of your life! So go get involved! - Intramurals - Student government - Student organizations and clubs - Find a support group
Strive for a balance between fun and studies.

A capacity crowd of almost 750 guests attended the sold-out event and one hundred percent of funds raised will be used locally to create and nurture life-changing friendships between at-risk youth and caring adult mentors.
past 19 years. This family connection is a perfect illustration of the work BBBS has achieved for over 44 years; that of creating lasting relationships that make a difference.
“It was the biggest, boldest, brightest Ice Ball event yet,” said Connie Nelson, Ice Ball Event Chair. “And what excites me most is that more children will now be helped as a result of this event.” There are over 600 children on the BBBS waiting list.
Each year, unique experiences and luxurious items are auctioned at the Ice Ball. This year’s auction included custom packages and trips to exciting destinations such as Paris, Costa Rica, and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
