Dress for success: tips for building a professional wardrobe Whether you are a recent grad or someone re-entering a professional work environment, building a work wardrobe that strikes a balance between professionalism and personal style is key. “Dress for the job you want, not the job you’re being hired for,” says Stephanie Thomas, fashion instructor at The Art Institute of California - Los Angeles, a campus of Argosy University. “Your job description, and that of the next step up your career ladder, should be the driving force behind your apparel purchases,” adds Stephanie Pierotti, fashion instructor at The Arts Institute of Las Vegas. To get you started, fashion experts from The Art Institutes system of schools offer tips to have you dressing for the corner office. Suit up “I know it sounds boring, but a suit is an absolute must,” says Thomas. “Look upon your suit purchase as a long term investment,” adds Pierotti. “This is not an area where you’ll want to skimp. Seasonless fabrics, like lightweight wool, worsted wool and wool crepe are your best bets.” She recommends purchasing a suit in a classic color such as black, gray, tan or navy blue and saving the more trendy colors and patterns for your accessories.
Thomas says to also think about the colors in your current wardrobe and look for a suit that can be interchangeable with pieces you already own. For women, a suit with both pants and a skirt will offer more variety. You should also feel comfortable in your suit. A good fit will make you look polished, professional and more confident. “The chances of you finding a suit that fits you perfectly off the rack is slim to none, so be sure to budget some funds for tailoring,” says Thomas. Wardrobe building blocks You will also need some staples that will serve as wardrobe building blocks that enable you to walk right into a new job. “Women should purchase two or three button-down shirts of a good fit and quality. Men may want to purchase five, if buttondowns are a staple in their field,” says Pierotti. For women, a wrap dress is a great alternative to pants and a button down. Women can also incorporate knit shirts that will mix and match with their suit separates. For men, a sports jacket in an allweather fabric is a good investment. “Think less trend, more modern classic that will cut across many seasons,” says Thomas. “Men and women need a great blazer and some type of sweater they can dress up or down.” Both men and women
can mix in sweaters and cardigans to go with their separates. Pierotti advises, “Look for versatile items that can take you from desk to dinner and from workdays to weekends. Also consider a dark or black jean for casual days at the office. Shoes To put your best foot forward at a new job, make sure you also have professional footwear to go with your new wardrobe. Pierotti recommends two pairs of practical shoes for dayto-day work life and one or two for more formal events, in neutral colors such as brown, gray and black. And for women, 4 inches should be the maximum height for a professional setting. Accessories Don’t forget about accessories, which can add personality to your outfits. “Men should have a couple of ties with a little bit of personality, meaning different patterns or maybe a bold color,” says Thomas. For women, necklaces and bracelets can add a pop to an outfit, but less is more when considering jewelry. Make sure you don’t forget to use an appropriate purse or messenger bag and no matter where you live, you should have a professional trench in your wardrobe. Tailoring and maintenance Once you’ve built your wardrobe,
you’ll want to keep it neat and polished. To make you clothing look custom made, find a good tailor who can make small tweaks to your garments. A garment steamer, a clothes shaver, stain remover sticks and fabric freshener sprays will help save on dry cleaning costs, by helping your garments looking and smelling fresh. “Investing in core pieces lays a solid foundation for your new professional wardrobe,” says Pierotti. “You’ll create a classic yet stylish work collection that makes you feel confident and professional.” -BPT

PACIFIC SYMPHONY POPS 2016-17 SEASON BURSTS ONTO THE SCENE WITH THE MULTI-TALENTED, AMERICA’S SWEETHEART, AMY GRANT!
Photo by: Cheryl Anteau and Debra Akins Pacific Symphony’s Pops season undergoes a mighty launch with a stupendous opening night featuring six-time Grammy Award winner Amy Grant. This American-music icon has enjoyed a career spanning more than 30 years, stretching from her roots in gospel music to leading pop star, songwriter, television personality and philanthropist. Known as “America’s Sweetheart” and admired for her crossover music—from contemporary Christian to mainstream—Grant has produced numerous hits such as “Baby Baby,” “Every Heartbeat,” “That’s What Love is For,” “I Will Remember You,” “Lead Me On,” “El Shaddai” and more. She now brings her soothing voice, engaging personality and talent for erasing the lines between genres to the Symphony for a perfect night out that includes an exciting mix of music from her latest musical endeavors to her greatest hits. Led by Principal Pops Conductor Richard Kaufman, Pops opening weekend opens with a first half dedicated to music by the incomparable Henry Mancini, including some of his greatest hits, “Pink Panther,” “Charade,” “Moon River” and “Peter Gunn.” The concert takes place on Oct. 14-15, at 8 p.m., in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Tickets are $35-$167, ($195 Box Circle). For more information or to purchase tickets call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org. “Amy Grant is not only a terrific singer, but she also brings a special spirit to the stage that makes the audience feel right at home,” says Maestro Kaufman. “Her talents are known around the world, but she is one of the most humble and welcoming people

who ever stood on a stage. Amy’s style is part of the American musical ‘fabric.’ The Christmas shows we did together a couple of years ago were such a treat and truly memorable— we’re so glad she’s back! She is the perfect person to take center stage on our opening Pops weekend.” Grant last left Orange County audiences wanting more in December 2013, when she made her debut performance with Pacific Symphony and wowed all with her warm, uplifting holiday concert. Her artistry has resonated with audiences since she first hit the national spotlight a few decades ago as a fresh-faced teen with a guitar. She became the first artist in Christian music to have a platinum record and went on to become a crossover sensation. To date, Grant has earned three multi-platinum albums, six additional platinum albums and four gold albums. She has scored 10 Top 40 pop singles and 17 Top 40 adult contemporary tracks, as well as a string of contemporary Christian chart-toppers. She’s received six Grammy Awards, numerous Dove Awards and has had a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame since 2006. According to the singer herself, she has built her long, successful career on music that “matters.” Ever since she burst on the scene to bring contemporary Christian music to the forefront of American culture, the Nashville native gained a reputation for creating potent songs that examine life’s complexities with an open heart and keen eye, allowing her musical gifts that transcend genre boundaries to make her a household name. Embracing both the triumphs and challenges of her life, Grant has distilled them to their essence and poured the lessons learned into
The Newport News
Amy Grant songs, which ache with honesty and reverberate with gentle wisdom. The songs she’s written, especially in latter years, represent a season of growth for her, yet as personal as they are, they are also universal—examining and reflecting on love, loss, death and the passing of time. Some of her more recent tunes deliver a sense of anticipation and optimism, while others lean into life’s most challenging moments. “At some point in life you realize that some things really matter and some things don’t,” Grant says. “Living matters. Celebrating life matters. Seeing the value in hard times matters; relationships and people matter; faith matters. I feel like that’s where my head has been… I feel this is a very positive…life affirming. Life prepares us for the journey. You don’t know what’s ahead and that is one of the great things about getting older in a framework of faith. Faith is the one thing that stands the test of time.” And it’s all something she puts to music incredibly well. While Grant performs on the second half of the Symphony’s program, the
concert opens with a tribute to Henry Mancini, one of the most successful composer-arranger-conductors of our time. In a career that spanned 40 years, writing for film and television, Mancini received 72 Grammy nominations and 13 Oscar nominations, and he won 20 Grammy Awards and three Academy Awards—the all-time record for a pop artist. For the 1961 movie, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” alone, Mancini won five Grammys and two Oscars. “Our first half will shine the spotlight on a musical legend—Henry Mancini—who is considered an American musical treasure,” says Kaufman. “This opening concert of our Pops season has always been a special time to feature the magnificent talents of our Pacific Symphony musicians,” he adds. “The music of Mancini provides the perfect opportunity for our audience to hear these superb artists as they bring such beloved music to life. Each Pops weekend is truly a celebration, and I look forward to sharing the excitement with our fantastic Pops audiences!”

The best kind of home improvements: high-impact, low-maintenance Yes, everyone knows making home improvements is a worthy investment in your greatest material asset. Sure you want every improvement job done well with top-notch end results. But when all is said and done, do you really want to have to put a lot of effort and money into maintaining those improvements? For most people - whether they’ll admit it or not - the answer is “no.” The best home improvements are the ones that not only enhance your home’s value and livability, but also require little work from you afterward to keep them looking great and functioning well. If you’re looking for high-impact, low-maintenance home improvements, consider these popular projects: No-leak skylights When it comes to an improvement that brightens your home, enhances its indoor air quality and boosts energy-efficiency, skylights deliver. Unfortunately, early skylights had a reputation for being leaky - a problem that simply doesn’t occur with modern, no leak, energyefficient skylights like those made by Velux America. Pre-engineered flashing kits (the metal shield that surrounds any opening in a wall or roof) work with all types of roofs, from shingles to metal, to ensure a properly installed skylight won’t leak. Need further low-maintenance points to make the case for adding a skylight? Not only do modern skylights keep water out, they’re energy efficient as well. Energy Star-qualified, no leak solar-powered fresh air skylights, like those from Velux, deliver fresh air through costeffective passive ventilation. Adding remote-controlled, solar-powered blinds allows you to easily open or
close a fresh air skylight and shade it when the sun hits that part of the roof, boosting the skylight’s energy efficiency by 39 percent. Keep the shade open during cold weather to admit warmth and reduce heating costs. A 30 percent federal tax credit on both products and installation costs makes a skylight project even more appealing. Visit www.veluxusa. com for a tax calculator to show your savings for a new installation or replacement skylights and a skylight planner app to show exactly how skylights and blinds will look in any area of your home. Lighting upgrade Older light fixtures not only look dated, they often use outdated, inefficient bulbs and are lacking in the energy-efficient emphasis that comes with newer fixtures. Upgrading lighting throughout your home is a great way to ensure you won’t have to think about it again any time soon. If a total lighting redesign is out of the question, you can still make your existing light fixtures lower maintenance simply by swapping out old, inefficient incandescent light bulbs with newer, electricity-sipping versions. Options like CFLs and LEDs provide all the light of incandescents while using a fraction of the energy. Energy.gov says Energy Star-rated LEDs use at least 75 percent less power than incandescent bulbs, and last 25 times longer. Imagine the time, hassle and money you’ll save not having to replace bulbs constantly - especially in lights that get a lot of use, like porch lights, or that are hard to reach, like the chandelier in your two-story entryway. Vinyl siding Wood, fiber cement, stucco, brick
- there are nearly as many types of exterior siding as there are colors to paint it. When it comes to low- or no-maintenance siding, vinyl remains the gold standard. In fact, more new homes are built using vinyl siding than any other type of siding product, according to the Vinyl Siding Institute. While early versions of vinyl siding introduced in the 1950s earned criticism for being less lovely than wood, even those less sophisticated versions had staying power; it’s possible to find homes in use today sporting vinyl siding that was added to the house in the 1970s or even earlier. Vinyl siding never needs to be painted, and when properly installed provides exceptional shielding from the elements. New technology has made modern vinyl siding look better and last longer without fading issues associated with older versions of vinyl. It requires basic cleaning, and overall maintenance demands are much less than other types of siding. Visit www.vinylsiding.org to learn more. - (BPT)

Secretary of State Padilla Statement on Letters from Voter Participation Center County elections officials and the Secretary of State’s office have received over 100 complaints from voters who have received letters from a group called the Voter Participation Center. The organization’s letters claim that the voter is not registered to vote and offers a pre-filled voter registration form that has incorrect or outdated information or information for persons who don’t live at the address. In many instances, the voter is in fact properly registered to vote. It is important that organizations conducting voter registration drives through the mail ensure that their voter data is up-to-date and accurate. Causing confusion right before an election is wrong. “If you have questions about
your voter registration status, check directly with your county elections office,” Secretary of State Padilla said. “Many counties have online tools that allow voters to verify their voter registration information. Also, contact information for county elections officials and links to county online voter registration status tools is available on the Secretary of State’s website at: http://www.sos.ca.gov/ elections/registration-status/. ” New voters or persons who want to update their voter registration information can visit the Secretary of State’s official voter registration website: http://registertovote.ca.gov/. If you need to update your voter registration information, the deadline is October 24.

Three Remarkable OC Women honored at gala business event Photos by Ann Chatillon For the twentieth year, the National Association of Women Business Owners Orange County (NAWBO-OC), a premier organization for Orange County women business owners held The 2016 Remarkable Women Awards at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Santa Ana-Orange County Airport. NAWBO honored three remarkable business women, who have demonstrated success, leadership and passion in their chosen fields to a crowd of more than 400 guests. Three businesswomen recognized at the dinner awards ceremony were Deborah Dickson, Cynthia Flynn and Loreen Gilbert. Dickson was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award presented to her by Congresswoman Mimi Walters. Dickson is founder and president of Smith Dickson, a CPA firm specializing in financial statements, tax work, and consulting and litigation services. Flynn, a practicing attorney in her own practice, Hackler Flynn & Associates was awarded Entrepreneur to Watch and the keynote speaker Michael E. Gerber introduced her. Business Owner of the Year went to Gilbert, founder of Wealth Wise Financial Services a firm offering securities and investment advice to individuals and businesses. She was introduced by Henry Walker of F&M Bank – who is another great NAWBO supporter. Michelle Beauchamp received the Member of the Year from NAWBO, very fitting as Beauchamp has been a force in the organization since she first joined ten years ago. There was also a tribute to all of the Remarkable Women Honorees from the past 19 years on stage by NAWBO-OC President Penny Fox and gala event chair Marni Smith. Gerber, a true legend of entrepreneurship, served as a Keynote Speaker. Inc. Magazine calls him “the World’s #1 Small Business Guru” – the entrepreneurial and small business thought leader who has impacted the lives of millions of individuals and hundreds of thousands of companies worldwide for over 40 years. When asked about his relationship with NAWBO-OC, Gerber said, “I was extremely thrilled and honored to help support an organization with such successful business women. They exemplify the true core of an entrepreneurial spirit and serve as role models to young women everywhere.” NAWBO-OC Event Chair Marni Smith stated, “I decided to join NAWBOOC after attending the “Remarkable Women Awards” Gala over two years ago, and I could not be more proud to be part of this organization or more honored and excited to be the chair of the 2015-16 event. This is the 20th anniversary of the “Remarkable Women Awards,” and it was a historical event for NAWBO-OC.” Debbie Dickson said, “The ballroom was beautiful, actually stunning! The program was well put together and executed flawlessly. The timing was excellent. The speakers were interesting. I was proud of each participant and grateful to share in such a glorious evening.” Since 1996, NAWBO-OC’s Remarkable Women Awards has recognized local businesswomen, women business owners, and women entrepreneurs who have dared to step out, follow their dreams, and inspire others by their commitment to what is possible. NAWBOOC is dedicated to providing business and professional development, informational resources, educational programs and workshops, networking and strategic relationships for nearly 200 members. This association is committed to empowering, encouraging and developing women-owned businesses by positioning its members for profits, power and the passionate pursuit of excellence.

Weeknight meals made easy with simple tips
What’s for dinner? It’s a question most of us ask every day. With evening routines packed full of extracurricular activities, chores and preparation for the following day, we don’t always have as much time as we’d like to make dinner. Fortunately, a quick, delicious and healthy meal can still be an option for your family, even when you’re short on time. All it takes is a little planning, some common ingredients and one trip to the grocery store. Here are five dinners to take you through an entire work week: Monday Start the week by putting your slow cooker to work for you. Slice off the tops of four to six bell peppers, but don’t throw them out. Remove the seeds and stuff each pepper with a combination of lean ground turkey or chicken sausage, grated cauliflower, carrots, onion and garlic, plus fresh herbs, salt and pepper. Put the pepper tops back on, arrange the peppers securely in a slow cooker, pour a large can of low-sodium chopped tomatoes over them and cook on low for eight hours. Dinner will be ready when you walk in the door. Tuesday Soup can be a quick way to have dinner on the table in minutes - and it allows you to use up vegetables that may be near the end of their shelf life. Try a Broccoli Cheese Soup
(recipe follows), a classic favorite that the whole family will enjoy. There’s minimal pre-cooking required - simply steam the broccoli, measure the remaining ingredients, put them in your Vitamix Professional Series 500 blender and start the Hot Soup program. When the program completes, pour into bowls and garnish with extra steamed broccoli florets and bit of grated cheese. For a heartier meal, chop and add grilled chicken chunks. Serve with crusty bread and a salad for a complete dinner. Wednesday Whole-wheat pasta with basil walnut pesto is a crowd pleaser. Take fresh basil, Parmesan cheese and walnuts and puree with garlic, olive oil and lemon juice in your Vitamix for a quick and easy sauce. If there are stuffed pepper leftovers, chop and heat for a tasty pasta topping. Make a large batch of pesto and you can use the leftover portion later in the week. Thursday Throw together a chicken stir-fry for another quick weeknight meal. Chop up your favorite vegetables, including extra cauliflower, onions and carrots from Monday’s stuffed peppers and broccoli from Tuesday’s soup. Saute the vegetables with cooked, cubed chicken and a mix of soy and teriyaki sauces. Serve over rice and offer a spicy chili sauce for those who like it hot.
Friday You’ve made it through the week. Why not treat your family to pizza? Top a ready-made, whole-wheat pizza crust with your leftover pesto sauce, cheese and any toppings you’d like. Add peppers, mushrooms and vegetables you chopped for the soup and stir-fry to create a veggie delight. Follow the cooking instructions on the pizza crust package, and you’ll be ready to kick off your weekend in no time. With a bit of planning, you can shop once and have your dinners set for the week. Buy canned or frozen fruits and vegetables in bulk and try to prepare at least two meals using the same ingredients. Even with hectic schedules, families can prepare and sit down to a satisfying meal every
night of the week. Broccoli cheese soup Yields two cups. Ingredients: 1 cup (240 ml) milk, skim or low fat 1⁄3 cup (40 g) shredded, low fat cheddar cheese| 1 cup (100 g) chopped fresh or frozen broccoli or cauliflower florets, steamed 1 teaspoon diced onion 1 teaspoon cornstarch 1⁄4 teaspoon chicken or vegetable bouillon or soup base Directions: Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure lid. Select Hot Soup program. Press Start. Allow machine to complete programmed cycle. - (BPT)

4 Tips to Stay Fit While Traveling
If summer travel plans frequently keep you away from home, it can be a challenge to maintain your regular fitness routine. With dedication, planning and a little creativity, you can use these tips from fitness entrepreneur Cassey Ho to maintain your workout regimen no matter where your travels take you. 1. Pack for Fitness Before your trip, research the hotel, nearby fitness facilities or area parks and pack accordingly. Be sure to bring along the essentials, such as athletic shoes and exercise clothing; easily portable equipment such as a jump rope, resistance bands or yoga mat; and technology to support your workout like your smartphone and headphones. Like the right apparel, footwear and diet, it is also important to have the right contact lens technology for your eyes. It’s crucial to your performance that you be comfortable throughout the day so you don’t lose focus. “As a fitness trainer, fashion designer and social media entrepreneur, I need a contact lens that’s as high-performing as I am,” Ho said. “Because of their unique water-gradient technology, Alcon DAILIES TOTAL1® contact lenses are so comfortable that I don’t notice
I’m wearing them, which allows me to focus on my workout, not my eyes.” Beyond all-day comfort, daily disposable contact lenses can be a healthy option for your eyes, are easy to use and take up less space when traveling because you don’t need to pack bulky lens care solution and cases. Learn more at dailiestotal1. com. 2. Keep Active as You Go Whether you’re traveling by car, train or plane, summer travel can force you to sit for long periods. To fit some activity into your travel, wear your walking or running shoes. If you’re traveling by plane, stroll through the airport terminal rather than sitting at the gate if you have a layover or delay. When traveling by train walk through the cars occasionally. If you’re driving, take breaks to get out and stretch. 3. Work in a Workout When you arrive at your destination, set the tone for your trip by working out right away or scheduling time for a workout and treating it as an important appointment. Consider these simple ways to squeeze in some physical activity: Go for a quick run in the area near your hotel – it’s a great way to burn calories, and it’s the perfect opportunity
to explore your destination! Walk the hotel halls – or get your daily steps logged at a local attraction or meeting facility. Take the stairs when possible and use your phone’s GPS to map out a path or find a local park or trail. For a quick burst of cardio, power through a few sets of jumping jacks in your room. If you’ve got space in your hotel room, use your tablet or smartphone to find a yoga or aerobics workout and follow along. Try pushups, planks and squats, all of which rely on your own body mass for resistance. Swim laps in the hotel pool.
4. Make Healthy Dining Choices When dining out, make sensible choices. Take the time to evaluate the menu. Select foods that are steamed, roasted or broiled, and avoid fried foods. Ask for dressings and sauces on the side. If you’ll be in town for more than a day or two, take time to visit a local grocery store to stock up on fresh, healthy snacks, such as fruit, vegetables, hummus and unsalted nuts, for your hotel room. Keeping things simple and staying committed to your routine with these tips will help you to easily keep your health on track during your summer travels.
