LIFESTYLE LETTER
Love Local
At this time of year, we begin to think about love, the color pink and the taste of chocolate. We’re torn between another “greeting card” holiday or a box of chocolates to embrace the sweet moments and excuses to truly savor the season.
Do we go out for a romantic Valentine’s Day date or enjoy a cozy night at home? Do we buy a card or simply offer a heartfelt word? We tend to land somewhere in between. The answers may differ based on individual preferences and personalities, but one thing we all share is the opportunity to remind those around us how much we love them. Regardless of how you choose to celebrate, we hope the pages of this month's magazine will inspire you to do just that, as we highlight all that’s worth celebrating in your local community.
As we find ourselves between the chill of winter and the anticipation of spring, we hope you’ll be inspired to take a moment to connect with those who matter most— whether they’re under your roof, next door, or part of your larger community.
“Love local” is about supporting your neighborhood businesses, but it’s also about appreciating what’s near and dear—those within your own home, your friends, your neighbors. We cherish the memories of creating Valentine boxes for school, carefully addressing cards, and exchanging them before the class party. This year, perhaps you’ll design a Valentine box for your home or office and encourage everyone to hand out handmade valentines. It’s a simple way to spread love, one thoughtful gesture at a time.
We’ve always believed that what we can accomplish together far exceeds what we can do alone. This idea continues to be beautifully reflected in the many stories shared in this magazine month after month.
Thank you for allowing us to be a part of the life you’re creating, whatever that may look like. Our hope is that we inspire you to embrace it even more than you already do.
With love your favorite storytellers,
February 2025

Given that Susanne and Bill Owens restored a historic 1871 building into a boutique hotel just two blocks from the bicycle-inspired Katy Trail, and given that the French word vélo translates to "bicycle" or "bike" in English, it stands to reason that they christened the new destination spot as Le Vélo Inn.
The imaginative bike hotel in Frenchtown is already known as a journey through time, a celebration of the past, and a gateway to modern comfort. A grand opening was held at the Inn this past December. The property actually harkens back to its roots, given that it first served as the Short Boarding House/Saloon back in the day.
The Owens aren't originally from St. Charles, but indicated they started visiting the city during 2012 when one of their sons, Jakob, received a full scholarship at Lindenwood University. He attended Lindenwood from 2013-2017, and received a bachelor's degree in biochemistry.
"We fell in love with St. Charles immediately because of the history and eclectic Main Street, and vowed if we could ever invest in a multifamily property in St. Charles, that we would," recalls Susanne.
The couple ended up purchasing the building sight unseen. At the time, Bill was a train conductor for BNSF Railroad in Chicago. Susanne was working in Hannibal, Missouri, providing anesthesia as a certified registered nurse anesthetist/anesthesiologist.
Susanne says she called their realtor and placed a blind bid on the St. Charles property. "We ended up winning the foreclosure auction."
Bill retired from the railroad early during 2021 to handle the couple's real estate endeavors in St. Charles and Foley, Alabama. Susanne still travels two to three weeks a month to help fund the real estate projects, and Bill often travels with her while still handling decisions and ordering items for the building.
"Our inn seamlessly merges the allure of yesteryears with the convenience of today, inviting guests to relive the captivating era of the late 1800s and early 1900s," explains Bill.
Susanne adds: "As you step into Le Vélo Inn, you'll immediately sense the essence of a bygone era. The walls whisper tales of adventurers on their trusty bicycles and the echoes of other historic events that shaped the world. Every corner exudes modern nostalgia, paying homage to the golden age of cycling and the spirit of exploration."
“ WE ABSOLUTELY FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS PLACE. VERY WARM AND INVITING. THEY THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING. WE’LL DEFINITELY BE BACK.”
Located in St. Charles at 1425 N. 2nd St., there are eight, overnight rentals on the property, with each unit reflecting a bicycle that was invented and introduced in a short period of time before the car was invented. The suites are called The Penny Farthing, The Tri-Wheel, The Betty Bloomer, The Swiftwalker, The Velocipede and The Green Tyke.
"Our boutique hotel offers an intimate experience with a selection of thoughtfully designed suites. Choose from our inviting
accommodations, which include a cozy studio and five charming one-bedroom, onebath suites within the meticulously restored historic building. Each suite is a unique ode to the past, furnished with vintage-inspired pieces, antique accents and modern amenities that ensure a comfortable and memorable stay," explains Susanne.
Adding to the allure, according to Bill, are two recently renovated cottages, nestled behind the historic building: The Hub and The Quest. "These duplex cottages
provide an extra layer of privacy and versatility for guest stays."
He says the original building opened the same year the Penny-farthing high wheeler bicycle was invented.
Susanne says it was a joy to mix design and history to bring the building back to life. She adds it was a joy to working with the St. Peters-based Newberry Contracting Inc. owner Brad Wilson and designer Megan Wilson, who obtained all the furniture and designed all the suites.
"This project was an effort to give back to the community with a portion of the proceeds from the building being donated to charity," she says.
For those desiring to reserve all eight Le Vélo Inn suites in the historic building and both cottages along with the private courtyard for special events, intimate celebrations or micro weddings, a total of 26 guests can be accommodated. Susanne says several local restaurants cater to their location, including La Belle Vie located just a few blocks away.
"We love to customize events and make guests' visions come to life," she adds.
Whether guests seek solitude, romance or connection, the Owens indicate they're more than ready to oblige.

PASSION, PURPOSE, PURE INSPIRATION
LOCAL LIFE COACH AUTHORS BOOK REGARDING DIVINE TRANSFORMATIONS AND ENHANCED WELL-BEING
St. Albans-based intuitive life coach Tina Perrmann published an inspirational book, BEaUtiFuLL Gracie Angels and Guides Book to declare and demonstrate there is indeed healing, love, joy and bliss in the presence of angels.
"Angels represent the Creator’s tender, unconditional, loving care for you. The Angelic Kingdom is always working on your behalf in numerous ways. They guide, guard, protect and love you throughout all stages of your life," Tina says. "Usually when you feel most alone, or hopeless, they're closer than you think."
“When I get peaceful, quiet and surrender, the information, visions and symbols play like a movie on a screen before me.” ~energybased therapist Tina Perrmann
Tina says angels act as channels for the Creator’s love and grace to flow through individuals. For example, she cites angels of forgiveness, adoration, miracles, love and protection.
For more than two decades as an intuitive life coach/mentor, she says she's helped thousands of individuals, couples and business owners heal their traumas, release emotional blocks and provide them tools and spiritual resources to move forward in their goals, heart’s desires and dreams.
"I created this book to assist others with their spiritual connection, guidance and soul’s journey," she explains.
Within her particularly empathetic gift as a life coach and based on her own near-death experience on April 5, 2021, she says she perceives with clarity, the truth of a person’s story that's keeping them from what they want in life.
"The intention I hold for them is so pure that it lends my clients the safety and energy to keep moving forward. The changes and transformations I see in people after sessions are, at times, nothing short of miraculous,” Tina adds.
She says the book's namesake is her own guardian angel, Beautiful Gracie. Tina's book can be purchased on her website, Etsy or Amazon, and locally at The Porch In Wildwood or The Marketplace At The Abbey. 314.704.3433
WIMZY WALLS
‘This Ain’t Your Grandma’s Wallpaper’
ARTICLE BY ROBIN SEATON JEFFERSON
PHOTOGRAPHY BY JENNA WHITMORE
“This ain’t your grandma’s wallpaper.”
Though the Chinese are said to have invented wallpaper by pasting rice papers to walls as far back as the Qin dynasty, most of us are more likely to think of the little ducks or flowered patterns on our grandmothers’ bathroom and kitchen walls.
“With our peel-and-stick wallpapers, you can peel them right off and not worry about damaging your walls.”
~Veronica Schwab
This isn’t that.
Veronica Schwab and her husband started their custom vinyl wrap company, Cool Touch Graphics, 15 years ago, creating vehicle graphics, banners and signs, as well as window tinting. A trivia night at their son’s school about a year ago got Veronica thinking about what she could donate. And that eventually led them to create their sister company, Wimzy Walls.
“I started thinking about wall wraps,” Veronica says. “Wallpaper has made such a comeback.”
Wimzy Walls now not only showcases their own designs, but collaborates with artists across the world. “With a growing popularity in peel-and-stick wallpaper and our experienced team of designers and printers, it was a perfect time to grow into the interior decorating space,” Veronica says.
In the past, installing wallpaper meant thoroughly preparing the walls, measuring and cutting the wallpaper to size, applying wallpaper paste to the back of the paper, carefully aligning and hanging each strip on the wall, smoothing out any bubbles with a roller or squeegee, and then trimming excess paper at the edges for a clean finish. “The traditional paste method was such a nightmare,” Veronica says. “People got sick of it. Now it’s trendier. People are now going with a little more design in their spaces, and this is a fast way to make a big statement. You can do an accent wall or put wallpaper on the ceiling. We are seeing people starting to wallpaper their appliances—refrigerators and dishwashers. And as far as style goes, art nouveau is making a big comeback.”
Wimzy Walls wallpaper is removable and repositionable. There is no residue left behind after removal. “With our peel-andstick wallpapers, you can peel them right off and not worry about damaging your walls,” Veronica says.
The polyester fiber is wipeable: ideal for high traffic areas. It doesn’t shrink, peel or curl. It’s easy to install on any smooth, non-porous surface; and it’s safe and non-toxic: free of the synthetic plastic polyvinyl chloride or PVC, lead and phthalates, or the chemicals that make plastic soft and flexible.
“The fun thing is, we have so many styles available whether your style is stripes, geometric, floral or animal patterns, there are so many styles to choose from,” Veronica says. Customers can choose from patterns available on the company’s website or, at an added cost, customize their own with artists from Cool Touch Graphics.
Wimzy Walls does local installation, and is currently building a nationwide network for customers who don’t live in the area. But many people decide to install their own. The wallpapers come with directions and a smoothing tool or squeegee, and tutorials are provided on the company’s website.
In fact, Veronica says she has never had anyone call and say they couldn’t do it. “It’s doable,” she said. “It takes some time and patience, but it’s doable like any DIY project.”
Wimzy Walls sells its papers in two-footwide panels. “Customers measure their walls, and we send panels that line up as opposed to rolls that you had to line up yourself,” Veronica says. “So, there is not a ton of excess waste.”
The website offers a calculator for pricing, and everything is $4 per square foot.

Meet An Artist With Love For Creating Colorful, Eye-Catching Artwork
After a decade-long career in business and finance, Jessica Hitchcock decided to jump full time into her previously part-time career of art. Now, since 2019, she's excelled in creating artwork that inspires clients and their spaces, while also helping other artists create sustainable art businesses of their own.
"There’s something special about working with designers and collectors to bring ideas to life and create something so unique. My goal is to take what you have in mind and translate that vision onto canvas, all while providing a seamless, enjoyable experience. It's an exciting process I truly enjoy," the St. Charles resident explains.

Jessica creates paintings in collections available through her website, and also creates custom commissions. She says her artwork is installed in corporate offices, health facilities and boutique hotels, along with private collections throughout seven countries: Italy, The Netherlands, Mexico, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and the United States.
"Using my business background, I also coach artists through 1:1 mentorship," she explains. "Each artist is unique: their art, talents and personalities are all distinct. I love learning about their goals, dreams, strengths and challenges. Guiding them toward understanding and taking control of their finances empowers them to build sustainable, thriving careers. Seeing their growth, both artistically and professionally, and playing a part in helping them reach their potential is truly fulfilling."
Jessica says she started creating boldly colorful paintings in 2015, first more as a hobby. Now her flourishing art business also hosts a monthly newsletter and YouTube channel.
She says her objectives for 2025 are to embrace simplicity and focus on meaningful projects. She plans to take time developing a new collection of abstract faces. "This concept has been in my mind for over three years, but it was often set aside due to client work, commissions and demands of being a full-time stay-athome mom to my two little kids. This collection will have no deadlines or pressure; I want it to evolve naturally, allowing the creative process to guide its development."
"Life has taught me that we constantly evolve, shedding old identities and creating new ones," she adds. "Transformation is a powerful and inspiring part of life."

HOW A HEART-SHAPED BOX OF CHOCOLATE BECAME ULTIMATE SIGN OF LOVE ON VALENTINE’S DAY
NOTHING SAYS LOVE LIKE CHOCOLATE
ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY STACEY COLLINS-DIXSON
Chocolate. The very word elicits a sense of euphoria. The smooth, rich creaminess of the perennially-favorite confection continues to capture hearts and taste buds every Valentine’s Day. But why does chocolate have the hold that it does? The answer is more nuanced than simply “it tastes good,” otherwise, people would delight each other with heart-shaped boxes of spaghetti or fried chicken every Feb. 14.
Though alternatives exist to show romantic love to one another, chocolate remains America’s favorite.
Once reserved for the wealthy due to the high price of sugar, chocolate became synonymous with Valentine’s Day gift-giving only within the last 200 years. Borne of the romance of the Victorian era, British chocolatier Richard Cadbury was the first to place chocolates in a heart-shaped box, intended to be reused after the chocolate was depleted to store love notes or small trinkets.
In the 1930s, marketing of Valentine’s Day chocolate took off in America, and women became the focus of Valentine’s Day gift-giving. By the 1960s, men no longer appeared in ads for Valentine’s Day; instead, all America needed to know to promote the holiday was that chocolate was the surest way to a woman’s heart.
America’s Cupid crush on the ever-popular, heart-shaped boxes of chocolate continued to grow until World War II, when sugar rations forced a decline in chocolate making.
Since then, however, chocolate has continued to be a worldwide favorite on Valentine’s Day and every other day of the year. Now, consumers enjoy numerous local and international options for chocolatiers that produce the exact combinations
“Chocolate. The very word elicits a sense of euphoria.”
of chocolate and other flavors to satisfy a sweet tooth. From minimalist, solid milk chocolate to luxury combinations with pistachio paste, it’s become as simple as “add to cart” to show a favorite Valentine that we care.
Celebrate this year with a visit to a local chocolatier.

THE LURE OF SCOTTSDALE
BY MICHELLE GLICKSMAN
FROM RELAXATION TO SHOPPING TO GOLF TO SIGHTSEEING, THIS DESTINATION HAS IT ALL
The endless skies of blue are interrupted only by cacti rising majestically from the ground, arms reaching skyward, and palm trees, which are often adorned by lights that twinkle when the sun sets. There are vistas of open desert, rising mountains, and even the lush green of the locale’s many golf courses. And, of course, there are the vibrant shopping, dining, art, and event scenes, too.
Scottsdale is a city located in Metro Phoenix in Arizona, which as a whole is nicknamed “The Valley of the Sun” for its more than 330 days of sun each year—one of the reasons the area is a draw for visitors. With few rainy days, it’s easy to plan your daily activities without worry. Yes, though, the summer gets hot. But the rest of the year? Perfection.
Scottsdale is a mix of a resort destination, city, and suburbs, with more open desert the further north you venture. To the south is Downtown Scottsdale —also known as Old Town Scottsdale—which is a mix of old Southwestern charm (including the legendary cowboy saloon, Rusty Spur Saloon); modern eateries from famed chefs; lots of shopping at small boutiques and specialty shops; the Arts District , which is filled with art galleries; and even tasting rooms from Arizona wineries located along the famed Scottsdale Wine Trail
Nearby is Scottsdale Fashion Square , one of the nation’s premier shopping destinations. While you’ll find many usual retailers there, there are also more than 40 luxury brands, including Christian Louboutin, Bottega Veneta, and Louis Vuitton.
Heading north are open-air shopping destinations Scottsdale Quarter and Kierland Commons , which sit across the street from each other. Take the afternoon or evening to stroll through, exploring the shops, restaurants, and activity destinations such as the indoor mini-golf destination Puttshack
What else is there to see and do? Plenty.
CULTURE
The beauty of Scottsdale’s Sonoran Desert led famed architect, Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959), to build Taliesin West , his winter home and desert laboratory, in a mountainside in East Scottsdale. Today, there are daily tours of the UNESCO World Heritage site, and events are offered often.
However, Wright’s architecture isn’t the only art in the area. Beyond the Arts District in Downtown Scottsdale, there is public art all around the city, from sculptures to murals, so definitely keep your eyes open!
There are also museums such as Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West , a Smithsonian Affiliate, which showcases items from the Greater Western region, and the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art , affectionately known as SMoCA.
On Thursday evenings, there’s a free public ArtWalk in the Arts District, where galleries stay open later. Wander the streets and galleries, often against a backdrop of live music and even artist appearances.
NEARBY
While there’s so much to do, see, and experience in Scottsdale proper, there’s also much to see nearby. Make sure to experience the Musical Instrument Museum (affectionately known as the MIM), which is the world’s only global instrument museum. Desert Botanical Garden features an array of desert plants, and Phoenix Art Museum has an impressive collection of art. And, of course, the Phoenix Zoo is a perfect place for both kids and adults alike.
