MATT SELBY It’s not often I write the editorial. My Wife Carla is our Editor and does an amazing job engaging with our readers in all seven of our Tampa Bay News & Lifestyles editions peppered across Tampa Bay. It seems like everywhere we go, a reader recognizes her and compliments her on the job she’s doing. Her editorials tend to go deep. They resonate with the people of our community in ways I never imagined. Many of our readers even share a similar life story with Carla. I’m very thankful for her, and in the spirit of Thanksgiving, November’s most notable holiday, I wanted to use this space to talk a little about her. I don’t think very many of us actually spend Thanksgiving day giving thanks for the blessing of last years’ harvest like the holiday originally started out signifying. Although, if you’re like my Mom and have a live hydroponic garden growing in your house, you might. Anyway, back to Carla. We’re talking about a young woman who immigrated to this country with limited knowledge of the English Language at the age of 15. Many of you may share a similar background, and even if it wasn’t you personally who immigrated here, your
parents, or grandparents most likely did. Probably not knowing the English language too well.
design. This may be why she’s always right. I’ll be the first to tell you, she’s smarter than I’ll ever be, and I’m okay with that.
Carla grew up in Venezuela; a country once known for being the richest democracy in all of South America, now on the brink of collapse due to an economic crisis under a disastrous dictatorship. As a young girl she learned to speak Spanish, then Italian and finally English. I know what you’re thinking and you’re right; I can’t win an argument in three languages, lucky me!
Sometimes her “accent” comes through in her editorial pieces, and that’s by design. I don’t try and fix it. Her true voice comes out in so much of her writing, hitting our readers “right in the feels” as some would say. We receive countless E-mails from readers on a weekly basis and Carla loves to interact with everyone. They become fun penpals I guess you could say. Both Carla and I are very thankful for the constructive criticism and support we’ve received through the years. I can’t tell you enough how thankful we are for all of our readers. It’s because of your support we’re able to do what we love. Thank you for welcoming us into your homes each and every month and for supporting the great local businesses we feature. Carla truly enjoys keeping you up to date with what’s going on in the community. We really appreciate when you take the time to send us feedback and content as well. Keep a lookout for Carla’s next editorial in December! I know she will have something good for you!
To be honest, in almost 3 years we’ve hardly had a disagreement. I’ll admit, she is right most of the time. “Happy wife, happy life” and all that. I’m picking up the Spanish language slowly, but after 30 years of only hearing and speaking English in my household, it’s not easy. I have a newfound respect for everyone who came to this country and learned our native language at any age, but especially in adulthood. Carla didn’t just learn the English language. She earned an impressive education. She first graduated with her Bachelors from the University of Tampa, and later a Masters in Education with a concentration in Instructional Technology and a minor in web

THE Best Green Bean Casserole EVER It’s Holiday season! Which means… holiday food! Featured in magazines across the web and consistently rated THE best green bean casserole EVER, this recipe will convert even the most determined green bean HATERS! I know because I was one of them. If up until now you or your relatives have just been kind of “meh” towards green bean casserole, prepare to experience a major paradigm shift in attitude. This one’s the best. Ever. Let’s be honest… everything tastes better when it is fresh, and when it has a TON of BACON and CHEESE! This recipe includes tender green beans, bacon, cheese, cream, fresh mushrooms and more, this deluxe casserole is made from scratch and is guaranteed to become your go-to from now on. It was such a huge hit during Thanksgiving and Christmas that it became the only green bean casserole I have ever made since the very first time I tried this recipe back in 2008! I have never gotten so many compliments with any other dish, and I consider myself a pretty decent cook. But nothing has gotten so much attention as this particular casserole. Trust me. You need to give it a try. This recipe takes a little longer than the 3 minutes and 47 seconds required to open a can of condensed mushroom soup, mixture it with water, toss it with green

beans, dump the mixture into a casserole dish, sprinkle with French fried onions and put it in the oven to bake (ie, the classic recipe first introduced by Campbell’s in 1955). But the Ultimate Green Bean Casserole is still relatively quick to make and to say that there is no comparison between the two is an understatement.
Ultimate Green Bean Casserole Prep Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 45 mins Total Time: 1 hr Ingredients 1. 10 slices thick-cut bacon diced 2. 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion 3. 2 cloves garlic minced
4. 16 ounces fresh button or cremini mushrooms chopped 5. 3 tablespoons butter 6. 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 7. 1 cup half-and-half 8. 1 cup chicken broth 9. 1 cup shredded white cheddar cheese 10. 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese 11. 3/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste) 12. 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (or to taste) 13. 1 pound fresh green beans trimmed, halved, and blanched (boil 5 minutes, place beans in ice water for a couple of minutes, drain) 14. 1 can French Fried Onions Instructions (see next page)

Recipe Notes Preparing in Advance: Everything can be done in advance except for adding the crispy onions, otherwise they’ll get soggy. Add those just before baking. Also, let the casserole sit for at least 30 minutes after removing it from the fridge before baking.
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. 2. Fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy. Add the onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and garlic and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are soft. Transfer the mixture to a bowl. 3. Melt the butter in the same skillet and whisk in the flour. Once combined, continue whisking for another 2 minutes until the mixture has slightly deepened in color. Add the half-and-half and chicken broth while
constantly whisking to prevent lumps. Once slightly thickened, add the cheese and whisk until melted and combined. 4. Next add the mushroom/bacon mixture along with the salt and pepper. Let the sauce simmer for a couple of minutes, then add the green beans. Stir to combine. 5. Pour the bean mixture into a 9x13 casserole dish and sprinkle the French fried onions all over the top. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes. 6. Dig in!

Since this is a made-from-scratch version, you really should avoid using hydrogenated oil-packed French Fried onions. There are several good options out there, especially at Whole Foods or Fresh Market. I suggest Lars Crispy Onions or Golden Farms All-Natural French Fried onions. You can conveniently purchase Lars’ Crispy onions on Amazon and the best deal is buying them in bulk. But if you cannot find them, French’s Crispy Fried Onions will still do the trick. I hope you and your loved ones enjoy this ultimate green bean casserole. If you would like to share your casserole photos, any comments about this recipe, or how much your family loved it, please email me directly at carla@nnlflorida.com. I would like to know how it all went down!

Believe me, you won’t be disappointed. And if you haven’t been here in a while, stop by, I’d love to catch up and show you what we’ve done to the place,” says Kranich.

serving specifically the Westchase, Citrus Park and Carrollwood area since 2002. “I love this community. I’m part of it. I live in Carrollwood myself. My children go to school in the community, so it’s been very nice to serve the community that I actually live in,” she said. She selected the location in Westchase because of the growth in the early 2000s, knowing there would be a lot of new families coming into the area. “It was part of Tampa that had a high level of growth, so I thought it would be a good area to start integrating my practice and I can be here until I retire.” Due to growth in the community, Dr. Bulnes-Newton wanted to bring on another expert in the field. “That person needed to supply the same quality of care and have the same philosophies caring for our community, but also offer some additional expertise and specialties that we could provide for our patients.” Dr. Goodwin joined the practice in 2016, bringing with her extensive training and expertise in restorative dentistry including crowns, bridges, veneers and, dentures. She also provides services such as extractions, bone grafting and placement of dental implants, for which she has earned her ICOI Fellowship (International Congress of Oral Implantologists). “Although we have the latest technology available, state-of-the-art

equipment, that’s not what separates us from the competition. We are an office of all women. We are very family-oriented. We provide a level of compassion and empathy to offer dental work with the utmost dignity to our patients. We pride ourselves on providing the most up-to-date, high-tech top-quality dentistry in a very gentle, relaxing environment.” Serving men, women, and children, their youngest patient is 2 and the eldest, 99.“We love seeing the kids. They are so much fun to educate and provide them with a positive experience where they can feel comfortable and establish that relationship with a dentist very early in life,” said Dr. Bulnes-Newton. “It’s fun to see them to grow up from little kid to college student. We believe that patients deserve the best care they can have regardless of age.” Dr. Goodwin added, “If they are coming to the dentist at 99, there is a reason that they are still alive. Dental health is linked to quality of life and your overall health.” Dental services include oral exams, routine cleanings, veneers,
bonding, Invisalign, teeth whitening, and Dr. Goodwin’s restorative services. “I get to see my patients go through life changes and you feel like you are there for them. You get to be an open ear for them. I am fortunate that I get to talk and interact with people all day instead of sitting in front of a computer,” said Dr. Goodwin. Both dentists agreed that their staff was another reason the practice was so successful. Long-term, loyal employees that believe in the same philosophy of integrity make the workplace - “their second home” - a pleasure to be part of each day. The practice volunteers with Hillsborough Community College’s dental assistant program where the students learn how to become dental assistants during their rotation. “There’s maybe a dozen offices that participate in Hillsborough County that the students rotate through. The students come in and learn from us,” Dr. BulnesNewton explained. “That’s where we

discovered a unicorn in our dental assistant Brittany Rocamora.” In addition to standard dental services, the practice also offers safe mercury removal, a holistic approach to dentistry, and dental sleep medicine services, a treatment for patients who cannot use CPAP. Elective procedures like facial rejuvenation services like Botox, Dermal Fillers, Red Light Therapy, a non-invasive face lift, and the Obagi Medical Skincare line are also available. The dentists and their staff never hesitate to volunteer. From
sponsoring patient’s school and college events, golf tournaments, fundraising for dog rescue K9 Estates, collecting for Metropolitan Ministries to annual outreach in the community to provide free dental services to indigent patients, these ladies care about making a positive difference. “We just love being with our patients, catching up with them and discovering what’s going on in their lives. It’s really like a family,” said Dr. Bulnes-Newton. “Whether they’ve been with us for years or are a new patient, we want our patients to feel like family the minute they walk in. We’re not your typical dentist’s

Essentials Spa and Salon of Carrollwood A Luxurious and Affordable Way To Relax and Unwind
By Carla Selby We all know that when we look and feel great, it shows in everything we do. If you’re ready to feel and look your best this Holiday season, and you want to do so without breaking the bank, then you need to give Essentials Spa and Salon of Carrollwood a try! At Essentials Carrollwood you get to enjoy all the benefits and services of a high-end spa without the price tag. The moment you walk in, you can sense the calmness, and you’ll immediately start relaxing in a completely stress-free zone. From massages to facials, from makeup to hair, from manis to pedis and everything in between, Essentials of Carrollwood offers something for everybody at every budget. They have unbelievable deals, such as the “New Client Special,” in which new customers get either a 1-hour relaxation massage or a 1-hour European facial for only $30.00! Family-owned and operated, Essentials of Carrollwood has been offering amazing spa services at affordable prices since their opening on November 6, 2016. “We are all very excited to be celebrating our second year anniversary in just a matter of weeks,” says the owner, Candi LoPresti. For Candi, treating every customer as she would like to be treated is a top priority.“We believe in being very hands-on and strive to provide you, our guest, with the same level of service and courtesy we would expect,” says LoPresti, who also believes that a luxurious spa treatment shouldn’t cost you an arm and a leg. “I frequently laugh when I see advertisements for other, particularly ‘big box’ spas—their ‘sale’ prices don’t even beat our everyday prices! Why would folks go anywhere else?!” “Essentials Massage & Facial Spa of Carrollwood never disappoints,” says frequent customer Marcia P. “This place is pristine, they provide THE BEST massages and facials, along with lots of smiles and great customer service. Oh, and the price is PERFECT for my wallet. I highly recommend it!” Known as the ‘Home of Affordable Luxury,’ Essentials of Carrollwood’s primary goal is to provide an exceptional spa experience with excellent value so you can make regular visits and incorporate multiple services and treatments as a part of your self-care routine. “Oh my goodness… I brought my husband with me here to have a couple’s massage. He’s a ‘manly man’ and truck driver, so it took some convincing on my part. Once he got on the table, he fell asleep and woke up with a big smile on his face. It is the best place for a couple’s massage!” says recent customer Anita. “I feel super relaxed, and my husband is still smiling! Thank you Essentials! I am coming back soon. You have won a customer life, maybe two! The husband will definitely come back as well!”
At Essentials of Carrollwood, all therapists and estheticians are licensed, experienced and genuinely committed to the highest level of customer satisfaction. “Our therapists and estheticians are second to none, very experienced and caring. Many of our massage therapists bring broad skill sets that enhance their understanding and abilities of the human body, such as medical backgrounds; and cross-modality training, such as yoga and several have been with us from the beginning,” says Candi. “Lana, our head esthetician, brings her training and experience as a trauma room nurse in Russia to her esthetic work and is a consummate professional. That medical expertise brings a complete understanding of her work. Our guests get the benefit of that experience because she truly understands the skin and the body on a different level. Whether you’re getting a European, Acne or Antiaging facial, Microdermabrasion, Dermaplaning or Microneedling, you can be sure you are getting the best care and recommendations.”
Benefits of Massage From easing muscle soreness after exercise to reducing stress, dozens of studies—stretching back several decades—have linked massage to real physical and psychological benefits. A recent study found that a 10-minute muscle massage after a workout could reduce soreness by 30%. A separate review study on massage found that levels of the stress hormone cortisol dropped 31% following a rubdown, while levels of feel-good hormones like dopamine and serotonin increased over 35%. Incorporating regular massages into your lifestyle can definitely improve your well being, so why not give it a try? If you’re worried about the high costs, don’t. At Essentials of Carrollwood, they provide excellent massage services at the most affordable rates offered in the market today, allowing you to experience the benefit of massage at Essentials on a more frequent basis. “My massage therapist was wonderful and kept just the right amount of pressure throughout the massage. She was thorough and focused on the areas that I requested. I enjoyed my massage and appreciated the conversation and professionalism of the therapist and the staff,” says recent customer Judith L.

Besides providing luxurious spa treatments; Massage, Facials, Body Wraps, and Waxing, Essentials of Carrollwood offers a full range of salon services provided by fashion-forward Hair Designers and Nail Technicians, as well as makeup applications, ranging from lessons to full makeovers for that special occasion; wedding, prom, sweet 16, quinceanera, etc. “At Essentials of Carrollwood, we share a passion and respect for the art of hair,” says Candi. “Our talented stylists deliver amazing cuts, the latest coloring techniques, texturizing and more. Every cut is customized with creative elegance to make you look and feel your best, and all consultations are FREE of charge!”
Fall In Love With Your Skin With Fantastic Facials A facial is one of the best ways to take care of your skin. Facials can clean, exfoliate, replenish and nourish the skin, promoting a clear, well-hydrated complexion and can help your skin look younger. Most facials involve some massage which aids in blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. The facial massage also helps to relax facial muscles which can slow the onset of wrinkles on the face. Whatever your skin concern: acne, rosacea, anti-aging or prevention, Essentials of Carrollwood caring staff can help you achieve your goal. “Our pharmaceutical grade products were all carefully chosen for proven results. All products used and offered at Essentials of Carrollwood are made with pure and botanically based ingredients that have been clinically tested to provide unparalleled results,” says Candi.
In addition to offering all the spectacular benefits of high-end spa and salon services (without the price tag!) Essentials of Carrollwood does not require membership fees or contracts. “When we say you can come and relax, we mean it. You’re not going to come in expecting total relaxation only to have someone pressure you about signing a contract,” says Candi. “These days we don’t even want a contract for our cell phones, why would we want one for our massage?” If you happen to visit Essentials of Carrollwood for a multi-service or a Spa Day, you’ll be given a tote bag with a spa robe and slippers to change into. From there you’ll be cared for and pampered as it should be. If you’re looking for the perfect gift, Essentials of Carrollwood Spa Day Packages are a great idea, especially now that it’s gift-giving season! I know I would love one, who wouldn’t? Even my husband enjoys facials and massages, but don’t tell him I said so! Essentials Massage and Facials of Carrollwood is located at 11782 N Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL 33618.

Women get facility for long-term substance dependency rehabilitation. The Salvation Army builds residence for 30 women. Who: The Salvation Army Tampa Adult Rehabilitation Center What: Starting rehabilitation program for women When: December 2018 Where: 13815 N. Salvation Army Lane, Tampa, FL 33613 (located northwest of Nebraska Ave./Fletcher Ave. intersection, directly east of I-275 Highway) How: Constructing residence for women to heal from their substance dependencies Why: In Tampa Bay Area, there is great demand from women who want to participate in a long-term, 12-step, faith-based, residential rehabilitation program. The Salvation Army Tampa Adult Rehabilitation Center (ARC) will now be able to offer the help and education needed for women to solve their drug and alcohol problems. The women will have no out-ofpocket expense while residing at the ARC.
Tampa, FL (October 23, 2018) – Since 1950, The Salvation Army Tampa Adult Rehabilitation Center has been providing a 6-12 month residential program to men who want to solve their alcohol and drug problems. Now, with the construction of a separate residence, the center will be able to also offer its 12-step, faith-based, long-term rehabilitation program to women. The residence will contain ten bedrooms; each bedroom houses three women. The facility will include an intake office, library/two classrooms, offices/conference room, kitchen, dining room, great room, recreation room, fitness room, laundry/hair cutting station, and two resident managers’ rooms. The center will also have a new chapel, seating 250 persons for both the men and women beneficiaries, their families and friends, and the public. “At the end of this year, the ARC will be able to help women in their own safe environment. Just like the rest of our country, Tampa Bay is having to find solutions to the opioid crisis and sex trafficking. Now The Salvation Army can provide hope to women in our community who want to conquer these terrifying problems,” said Administrator Major John Reed. If you want to be involved with the new women’s program, please contact katherine. reed@uss.salvationarmy.org or 813-972-0471 ext. 59070.

and women overcome substance afflictions without discrimination for more than 100 years. It is one of the largest providers of residential drug and alcohol programs in the United States. The ARC provides spiritual, social and emotional assistance for both 30 women and 163 men who have lost the ability to cope and provide for themselves. The center offers residential housing, work, classes, and group and individual therapy, all in a clean, wholesome environment. The physical and spiritual care that program participants receive prepares them to re-enter society and return to gainful employment. Many are reunited with
their families and resume a normal life. The ARC is funded through the donations of unwanted but useable items (e.g., clothes, furniture and automobiles) so program participants do not have any out-of-pocket costs while they stay for up to one full year. By not having financial burdens, they have the privilege to devote all their time and energy to repairing their lives. To support this vital community service, please schedule a free truck pickup of your tax-deductible donations. Call 1-800-SATRUCK (1-800-728-7825) or visit SATRUCK. ORG.
