your best when you step outside in your swimsuit. Amanda at Sunless Luxe in Frisco helps me do just that. Because Amanda can tailor your color to your specifications with a custom tan, you get a gorgeous bronze before even stepping foot on the beach. Thus you avoid the inevitable pasty first day of vacation photos and the subsequent burn that comes with overzealous sun basking to expedite your end of vacation glow. In addition to the personalized color, the Norvell products Amanda uses, nourish the skin and are applied expertly by hand to avoid streaks and unnatural distribution resulting in expertly applied coverage that looks natural and feels amazing. And best of all, creates zero sun damage. After receiving my custom treatment, I was sure everyone would ask me where I got my spray tan. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised to get questions asking where I’d just vacationed! sunlessluxe.com 2) Waxing. The last thing you want to do on vacation is shave. When preparing for my cruise, the thought of shaving my legs in that tiny shower seemed miserable.

When I ask them what it is they like about this photo over another, I find that one thing they are drawn to is a full lash line. That’s why I have chosen lash extensions as my last pick! While I don’t think they are better than strip lashes or even a couple coats of mascara, they are a time saver and look beautiful when applied correctly. And that’s exactly what I want on vacation. There are a ton of options on the market now for lash extensions and while my search wasn’t exhaustive, I will tell you why I landed on the Lash Lounge in Plano for my extensions. First being, they have options! I was thrilled to find out that I could partner with my stylist to create a look that I love based on eye shapes. They have a variety of lengths, curls and thicknesses. Once they are applied, the amount of makeup required went down drastically and in combination of my gorgeous spray tan, I hardly needed anything to look put together without being overdone.

MW does not disappoint in releasing the 2017 X3 xDrive35i, a Sport Activity Vehicle (SAV) with potential for a family road trip or track day. With four different drive modes, the ease of moving from city to mountains is seamless. The default comfort mode relaxes the throttle for

everyday driving. For those eco-friendly drivers, the Eco-pro mode is, even more, fuel efficient by shifting at a lower RPM. The X3 combines its features to provide not only an ideal driving machine but an environmentally conscious one as well. At a red light, the X3 turns off the engine to prevent waste. While many of us enjoy cooling our car down in the summer; BMW engineers do not condone the practice of “puffing,” or starting up a vehicle before driving. To avoid this cushioned process, BMW has provided an app for drivers to turn fans on or open the windows on summer days. If you have forgotten where you parked, this app also allows you to flash the vehicle's lights, honk the horn and much more. Day-to-day driving has never been safer; not only is the driver looking out for hazardous conditions, but the vehicle is as well. To make the driver aware of danger, the steering wheel vibrates when nearing a potential hazard. These include; lane departures, active blind spot awareness, and Active Cruise Control. These safety features combine to maintain a safe distance from you and the driver ahead. Steering wheel vibrations are not the only way the X3 alerts the driver; break interruptions will occur for potential frontal or pedestrian collisions. August 2017 | Frisco Life

Parting Thoughts Frisco's Mayor Jeff Cheney

Mayor Cheney's Turn D

uring my campaign for Mayor, I spoke with thousands of residents. You told me what you loved about Frisco and what you

see as the challenges we face as a community. In return, I made some

Mayor's Musings

big commitments to you. So when Frisco Chamber of Commerce invited me to give a State of the City address on June 21st, I realized this would be my first opportunity as the new Mayor of Frisco to lay out my plan for the

city. It was important to me to move quickly and demonstrate through ARTICLE JEFF CHENEY

action that I was serious about my commitments to you. Since this

PHOTOGRAPHY

speech would be delivered 36 days after my swearing in, we decided

BRANDON FRAKES

to make it my “100 Day Plan”. We selected nine areas of focus for this plan. It easily could have been

Communication Strategy, Manage Growth, Rejuvenate Downtown, Focus on Arts, Expand Economic Development, Valuing Veterans, Get Moving Again, Tax Relief, Frisco’s Legacy.

47 as I joked on the day of the speech. However, these nine areas jumped out at me and I believe demanded to be addressed immediately. My nine planks are Communication Strategy, Manage Growth, Rejuvenate Downtown, Focus on Arts, Expand Economic Development, Valuing Veterans, Get Moving Again, Tax Relief, and lastly, Frisco’s Legacy. I was hoping the audience realized the speech wasn’t a checklist of items that the City of Frisco was going to deliver to the residents. It was much more than that. It presented the concept of all of us working together to attain this world-class city that we envision. The great news is that you got it! My phone and email exploded after the speech for weeks with people offering to help. The amazing part is people are offering assistance in various planks of the plan that doesn’t directly benefit themselves. They see the need and want to be a part of something bigger. Thank you, Frisco. You really are amazing. September 29th will be Day 100 and I look forward to seeing what we can accomplish together.
