Letter From the Lifestyle Team

AMBER ELLIS YOUR LIFESTYLE MANAGER

Enjoy the Summer Sunshine!

It’s hard to believe summer is already here! If you are thinking about planning an exciting getaway for the season, I encourage you to visit DestinationsByEsplanade.com to explore some of the inspired luxury travel opportunities curated just for you.

If staying local is more your scene, Arezo and I look forward to developing an exciting array of Lifestyle programming over the next couple of months for you to enjoy. Connecting with Members is something we look forward to, so if we have not had a chance to meet you yet, please stop by the Esplanade Sales Gallery and say hello!

To all the new Members, we welcome you with open arms and can’t wait for you to see all that we have to offer. Thank you for picking Esplanade to call home. Please know that as soon as you go under contract with Taylor Morrison on this property, you are invited to participate in all Lifestyle events and activities. The Lifestyle program is tailored to your interests, so do not hesitate to reach out to us with your comments and suggestions for our events in the future.

We also encourage all newly closed Members to join us for Esplanade 101, as it is the key to your Lifestyle here at Esplanade. We also invite all Members to join us for Neighborhood News, a community update with your dedicated team, and Coffee & Conversation to discuss your Resort Lifestyle.

Deneen Colosi

SALES ASSOCIATE

Deneen was born in Pennsylvania and raised in Fort Lauderdale. She and her husband, Billy, moved to Port Saint Lucie in 2008, where they live with their now 17-year-old son, Cash. Along with their son, she has two stepdaughters, Leia who is 33 and Naomi who is 24, and a twoyear-old grandson, Atlas. She also has two fur babies, named Boog and Bo, who have great personalities and keep them on their toes.

Her favorite thing to do is work out and walk in her neighborhood, up to five miles every morning, with the goal being twelve miles. Deneen’s hobbies include traveling, reading, and learning French (very beginning stages). She loves to watch Sci-Fi movies, comedies, and old cartoons.

Deneen recently traveled to Alaska and plans to visit Europe this summer. She is planning to use her somewhat limited knowledge of French when she arrives in Cannes as part of her trip. She can handle most temptations, except when it comes to Captain Jack’s ice cream, and she would not say “no” to an oatmeal raisin cookie.

She has enjoyed selling homes for the past 30 years and uses her extensive background in design and sales to help customers find the best community.

Get Moving this Summer!

The summer has warmed up and so should you! Don’t forget one of the most important parts of your workout is the warm-up! Warming up before working out, hiking, or hitting the courts can reduce your risk of injury. A warm-up should be enough movement to increase your heart rate, which pumps more oxygenated blood to your muscles. This increased flow can reduce rips, tears, and harmful twisting of muscles and joints during activity.

A great way to get your body moving this summer is walking! Walking every day for just 30 minutes has a lot of benefits, such as:

» Increases cardiovascular fitness

» Strengthens bones

» Reduces body fat

» Boosts muscle power and endurance

» Stress relief

» Prevents heart disease, Type 2 Diabetes, osteoporosis, and a variety of cancers

Furry Friends Meet Coach

Madaffari

LOVED BY JOE & EILEEN MADAFFARI

Coach is a miniature Aussie Shepherd loved by Joe and Eileen Madaffari. He will be 11 years old in December. They got him from a breeder in New Jersey and he has a fascinating story about his name. Eileen’s buddy “C” and Joe went to Atlantic City and on the way back, they were going to stop by the breeder. They were first on the list for the next litter, but the family who took Coach for four days decided that they did not want him. The family brought him back and when Joe and his friend stopped by it was puppy love at first sight. They had to take him home.

Coach’s name is extremely important to Joe and Eileen. If Joe were to win money in Atlantic City, they were going to name the dog Lucky, but they weren’t that lucky, so they named him Coach instead. Before settling on Coach though, Joe had to clear it with their daughter, Lauren, and son, Chris. When the vote came out, it was 3-1- they named him Coach! Coach loves going for walks, car rides, and treats. He also loves to bark and loves Eileen (and Joe!).

HAVE A furry family MEMBER THAT YOU WANT TO FEATURE?

Contact your Lifestyle Manager to be featured in the next edition of the Lifestyle Magazine. Answer a few questions about your furry, feathery, or scaly friend and share a couple pictures. Don’t have a furry family member of your own, but know a community Member who does? Nominate them to be the next Featured Furry Friend. Contact the Member to suggest the feature or your Lifestyle Manager to nominate anonymously.

Your Wellness Why

When it comes to wellness, it is important to find your “why” to help you succeed. When you identify your deeper reason for wanting to become healthier, it makes it easier. For instance, just thinking about the scale won’t be enough motivation sometimes. However, if you focus on a reason, such as practicing sports with your grandkids, you become more motivated.

Taking recovery days is also important when it comes to wellness. Be less intense so you can give your body a break and don’t over do it. For example, if you want to get into shape, you should have at least two rest days. Take it easy on the days you choose and do something less intense such as walking instead of going hard in the gym.

Celebrating Your Resort Lifestyle

Beginning in April, the Esplanade Resort Experiences team hosted a series of Debut Celebrations across multiple Esplanade communities, giving over 1,700 Members the opportunity to meet with the team of highly talented leaders dedicated to elevating how they live and connect within the community they call home.

Both informative and fun, Members browsed interactive experience stations demonstrating the array of concierge-level services and Lifestyle programming being introduced as a part of the Resort Lifestyle at Esplanade.

Those who attended got a sneak peek at some of the upcoming national programs being developed by the Esplanade Resort Experiences leadership team.

The spirited “Salute” station was hosted by your National Manager of Food, Beverage & Culinary Experience, Patrick Scully along with other culinary leaders supporting the Resort Lifestyle. Members got a taste of what’s to come in the world of culinary, including a new SIP Wine program.

National Director, Liz Thompson and CJ Hamlin, National Manager of Lifestyle & Concierge showed Members how they can embrace their inner explorer and uncover what’s to come for travel opportunities with the recently launched luxury travel program, Destinations by Esplanade. Members also explored a wide range of concierge services through Esplanade Concierge, further elevating the signature Esplanade Lifestyle.

Crystal Steere, National Manager of Spa, Fitness & Wellness showcased how to discover your zen with uniquely curated wellness offerings, with samples of the Esplanade private label bath & body care collection, The Spa Retreat. If you are interested in creating your own wellness oasis in your home, be sure to visit ShopEsplanade.com to browse the latest bath and body care products as well as other Resort Lifestyle items!

As the event continued, Members mingled and danced to live entertainment, sampled delicious food and beverage and enjoyed a raffle drawing with prizes, facilitated by Nathan Stith, National Community Management Director

Cammie Longenecker, President of Resort Lifestyle Brand shares, “I am so immensely proud of our team, and what they are helping to bring to life within our Esplanade communities. It was truly special to connect with Members in person, and have the opportunity to be present within the communities we are so passionate about supporting. When we introduced Esplanade Resort Experiences in 2022, we said there would be so much to come in the world of Resort Lifestyle over the following months, and we meant it! We hope you are excited about even more national programs officially launching throughout the year.”

Esplanade Resort Experiences will continue to focus on curating specialized offerings and services, bringing Members all the benefits and luxuries of Resort living right from the comfort of home. With a luxury Lifestyle like no other, every day is a vacation, and you never need to pack!
