THE HOLLYWOOD FOREIGN PRESS ASSOCIATION ANNOUNCEd THE WINNERS OF THE 73rd ANNUAL GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS for 2016 On Sunday, Jan. 10, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) announced the winners of the 73rd Annual Golden Globe Awards. Ricky Gervais, for the fourth time, hosted the star-studded event which aired live on NBC from the Beverly Hilton. This year’s trophies were presented by an all-star list of celebrities. The Golden Globe Awards are viewed in more than 236 countries worldwide and are one of the few awards ceremonies to include both motion picture and television achievements. The big winner was a familiar face who could finally be on his way to Oscar gold. Leonardo Dicaprio took home the statue for “Best Actor” with his leading role in “The Revenant,” the true story about a man who survived being mauled by a bear. The movie also won “Best Picture/Drama” and “Best Director.” Brie Larson took home the award for “Best Actress in a Drama” for “Room.” In the fictional story, Larson plays a mother trying to give her son a normal upbringing while they’re both captives of a man who abducted her years earlier. Two winners received standing ovations: Denzel Washington, who received the Cecil B. Demille Lifetime Achievement Award, and best supporting actor winner Sylvester Stallone for his reprisal of boxer Rocky Balboa in the movie “Creed.” Golden Globes 2016: The winners list.

Massage tips to help ease your over-active muscles Living an active lifestyle is being embraced by both young and old helping to keep bodies healthy and fit. Whether you’re trying a new sport or simply pushing yourself to the next level in your workout routine, you may experience aches and pain in muscles. Did you know massage therapy can help to alleviate discomfort naturally? Here are some- tips for achieving a great massage therapy experience. “It’s important to remember that increasing activity can take a toll on our bodies,” says DeJuan Williams, massage therapy lead instructor at Everest College St. Louis. “While there are many ways to ensure that our muscles, bones and joints stay healthy and injury-free, massage therapy is a great way to decrease stress, improve circulation and minimize fatigue.” Williams offers these tips for achieving the best massage therapy experience: Start slowly. If you’ve been less active, give your body time to adjust and ease into more outdoor activities. “Having patience with your body can help minimize soreness,” says Williams. “You may experience some
discomfort after resuming strenuous outdoor activities, but massage therapy can play a role in providing comfort after an intense day.” Find the right professional.Once you’ve decided to begin massage therapy, find a professional therapist who is licensed, insured and has academic credentials. “Reading online reviews and getting personal recommendations from friends are great sources.” Ensure compatibility. At your first appointment, have a list of questions ready to determine if you’re compatible with the massage therapist. “Ask them before you begin, to ensure you’re comfortable with the therapist,” says Williams. “You should also disclose any current health issues you’re facing, in order to have the safest, most effective session.” Customize your therapy. Discuss with the therapist any massage preferences you have, including depth of pressure, room temperature and music. During the massage, feel free to speak up and let the therapist know if you’d like to adjust any aspects of the therapy. Relax and enjoy. The key to
getting all the benefits of a massage is to relax your body and mind. Stopping or limiting your breathing during a massage can cause you to become tense and potentially hinder the effectiveness of your massage. Especially if a particular muscle or joint area is sensitive from recent outdoor activity, try to breathe normally. Massages should never hurt, so be sure to communicate any discomfort immediately.
Stay hydrated, stay healthy. Making sure you’re hydrated can help you to feel better pre- and postmassage. Always drink extra fluids before and after massages to ensure that your muscles are hydrated, and to help flush toxins from the body. Just as it’s important to be disciplined with a steady workout regimen, a consistent massage therapy plan can boost your overall health and keep you feeling great.

Help your pet shed unhealthy weight Are you killing your pet with kindness? We’re not talking about the compassion that motivates us to vaccinate our pets, or keep them warm in cold weather. Kindness that can be harmful to pets comes in the form of an overabundance of food and treats. The all-too-common result is a pet that becomes overweight or even obese. A 2014 survey conducted by the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention found 52.5 percent of dogs and 58.3 percent of cats to be overweight or obese by their veterinarian. This translates to nearly 80 million dogs and cats in America with a weight problem. Dr. George Banta, chair of the Veterinary Technology department at Brown Mackie College - Akron and Dr. Mary Jo Wagner, attending veterinarian at Argosy University, Twin Cities, offer useful information for pet owners. How can you tell if your pet is overweight? “It’s not the number of pounds, it’s how the animal carries the weight,” says Banta. “The number on the Body Condition Score is more important than pounds.” The Body Condition Score offers a way to assess the condition of an animal, usually on a scale from one to five, taking into account height, weight, and relative proportions of muscle and fat. With a little knowledge, you can use sight and touch to figure your pet’s general condition. “When looking down on a dog or cat from above,” says Banta, “the body should slim to a discernable waist. An animal is too thin if you can see the spine or ribs;
however, you should be able to feel them beneath the fur.” An animal of ideal weight will also display a pelvic tuck when viewed from the side. “Just like humans, when animals overeat, they face increased risk for health problems like diabetes, heart disease, gastrointestinal problems and cancer,” continues Banta. In fact, these risks also include a shortened life expectancy. Many owners feed pets according to the manufacturer’s suggested amounts; however, this instruction may not be right for your pet. “These guidelines are meant to cover all animals of a certain weight range,” says Wagner. “An owner must consider the age and activity level of each pet. The more active they are, the more calories they will burn in a day.” Metabolism rates vary in animals the same way they do in people. Metabolism is the body process in which food is broken down for energy; another factor that affects the amount of food a pet needs. Wagner advises owners to keep an eye on body condition to judge whether a pet is eating properly. “If your pet shows signs of being overweight, simply cut back the amount of food given at each meal. Then weigh the pet in two or three weeks to see if it has made a difference,” she says. Choosing the right food for your pet is important as well. Different brands of pet food contain varying amounts of protein, fat, carbohydrates and calories. “As a general rule, young, active dogs need high protein food,” says Wagner. “Older dogs need higher
fiber to keep the gastrointestinal (GI) tract moving.” Ingredients listed on the package appear in descending order of volume; the first item on the list is most abundant in the food. Most of us love to give treats, but many of us don’t realize how many we offer each day. “A 40-pound dog is one quarter the size of a 160-pound person,” Wagner says. “They have smaller stomachs. Look at calories in everything your pet eats. After that, it’s simple math.” “Table scraps are a definite no. Zip, zilch, nada,” says Banta. “They are not good for two reasons. First, foods like chocolate, caffeine, grapes and raisins can be toxic to dogs. Second, the high fat content associated with table scraps, especially holiday trimmings, can lead to the onset of acute pancreatitis, which can be fatal.” He recommends offering a kibble of food or a carrot instead of a cookie. If you must give cookies, try breaking them in half. “Pets do enjoy treats as a reward; however, attention from you is also a reward. It’s important to praise animals. In some ways, spending time with them is better than a treat,” Wagner says.
Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.” ~ Oscar Wilde

Tech tips and tricks for foodies and cooking enthusiasts There’s nothing quite like sharing a meal to keep you connected to friends and family. Between busy schedules and long distances, even a quick meal can be tough to coordinate. Since so much of our lives are managed online these days, a few tech tips and tricks can help keep your life gourmet. Cook with friends across the country If you have cultivated a circle of friends as food-conscious as you are, cooking together can be even more fun than going out. But, between living across the country from loved ones and traveling for business or pleasure, it’s a challenge to find opportunities to connect in person.
When you can’t be in the same dining room, connecting digitally over a shared passion for food is the next best thing. You can share recipes via email, then start a Skype call right from your email when you need to talk face-to-face with your friends to clarify recipe details or gush over images of your divine finished dishes. Even food experts share recipes this way, including author Gail Simmons. Cloud storage services are a great way to share photos without worrying about storage limits. Just upload, share and go! Become a restaurant connoisseur A true foodie knows the importance
of staying up to date on your local restaurant scene. When it comes to organizing your social life to ensure you’re hitting all the hot spots in town, be sure to use online resources to their full potential. Your email provider likely has a built-in calendar feature that can be incredibly helpful in scheduling dinner dates and keeping track of reservations. Some even let you invite others to your appointments and select their level of input: are you sending it as an FYI only, or do you want them to be able to change the time, location or notes? Set up your calendar in the way that works for you. Also, with many restaurants accepting online reservations, it’s important to be sure you don’t lose those confirmation emails. Flag important emails, sending them to the top of your inbox so you never miss a reservation. Get your favorite food content delivered directly to you If you love to cook, chances are you have a few food blogs and websites you use to get inspiration. To make sure you never miss an amazing recipe, be sure to subscribe to your favorite sites, then use builtin organization tools to ensure your inbox never gets too cluttered. Enjoy a combined meal Even the most food-savvy people don’t want to do all the cooking.
Gather a group of your foodie friends and host a potluck so everyone can enjoy something new. Send invitations and collaborate on a menu online in the weeks before your event. For example, invite your friends and create a shareable signup sheet using Office Web Apps and collaborate on recipes using OneNote. Friends can easily access the document and tell the group what they plan to bring. Share recipes While you may still keep your grandma’s favorite recipes in a box on your counter, today it’s easier than ever to share recipes with friends and family with a few quick clicks. Cloud storage providers are a great way to cultivate a virtual cookbook. Just upload your favorite recipes to a folder and invite fellow foodies to view and add their specialties. You can either type them up or scan them in and share with friends. Access the recipes from wherever you are; and of course, if you still prefer working from a paper recipe, it’s easy to print directly from the Web. What are you waiting for? Technology and online tools can be great time savers when it comes to connecting over a meal. With the wide variety of options for video chatting, sharing recipes, scheduling dinner outings or planning get-togethers, a new world of tech-savvy cooking awaits you.

Meet your new best friend: moisturizer The first (and most important) step in keeping skin dewy and fresh in the dead of winter is to keep it hydrated by using a moisturizer that contains SPF. Use Simple Light Moisturizer with SPF 15 to instantly double skin’s hydration while protecting from the Page 6
sun’s ever-present rays. Moisturized skin will also help foundation spread evenly over skin and help make-up last all day. Hey there, bright eyes To combat winter gloom, add an unexpected splash of color to lash lines. Gita recommends pairing a colorful liner with voluminous lashes to make eyes pop. Not only is this ontrend this season, but this easy step is sure to brighten up any occasion. The art of the sultry, smoky eye Winter is a busy season filled with holiday gatherings, office parties and New Year’s Eve bashes - a well-done smoky eye is the perfect look for any of these occasions. Update the look by incorporating a deep violet or plum-colored eye shadow. Swipe a light, shimmery base color over the lids to brow bone and blend in the darker shade from the lash line to eyelid crease for ultimate drama. Kiss the winter blues away Contrasting, deep lip hues are fast becoming a red-carpet favorite that is easy to replicate at home. Find a wine color that matches the skin tone to take the look from day-to-night. Prepping lips with a matching liner

HAPPY GRAPES
By David White Born there in 1960, Bernard has spent his entire life in the region and has worked in the wine industry since 1978 when he opened a small wine shop. In 1983, he took over the operations at Domaine de Chevalier after his family purchased the historic estate in Pessac-Léognan. And he has been president of the Union des Grands Cru, the promotional body for Bordeaux’s top producers, since 2012. So it’s telling that Bernard’s estate in Sauternes, Clos des Lunes, focuses almost exclusively on dry wines. Sauternes, of course, is the famous sub-region in Bordeaux where botrytis cinerea the fungus known as “noble rot” attacks grapes almost every year, leaving them desiccated, shriveled,
and covered with fuzzy mold. Out of these beastly grapes comes the world’s most famous sweet wine. Why would one of Bordeaux’s most passionate ambassadors make dry wine in Sauternes? Soil and climate play a role, to be sure. But the market, no doubt, plays a larger one. Sadly, Sauternes is out of fashion. Over the past 40 years, U.S. imports of Sauternes have declined almost 70 percent. Between 2004 and 2013, according to Liv-ex, auction prices on wines from the region’s top châteaux Coutet, Climens, Rieussec, Suduiraut, and Yquem dropped between 19 and 37 percent. In part, this drop is explained by changing preferences. Most of today’s wine enthusiasts just don’t take sweet wines seriously. Changing dining culture has also impacted sales. Structured, leisurely dinners were once more common and always ended with dessert wines like Sauternes or Port. Today, such indulgences are rare and drawn-out meals are more likely to end with coffee than sweet wine. Consumers have also moved beyond Bordeaux. Everyone still recognizes the region’s significance, obviously. But for all intents and purposes, today’s consumers have unlimited choices and are responding
accordingly. The average upscale supermarket carries more than 1,500 wine selections from across the globe. Those who do drink sweet wine have plenty to choose from. To survive, many producers in Sauternes have turned to dry whites. Most major estates have always produced at least a bit of dry wine; Château d’Yquem has produced a dry blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc simply called “Y” since 1959. But today, more producers are producing more dry wine than ever before. Producers have also worked to convince consumers that their wines needn’t be pigeon-holed as dessert. Aline Baly, the Parisian-born, American-raised, third-generation proprietor of Château Coutet spends much of her time trotting the globe showing off the versatility of her wines. Indeed, this past week, I received a holiday card from Baly suggesting I pair this year’s Thanksgiving turkey with Coutet. Some producers have tried to up the region’s cool factor. Earlier this year, for example, three producers teamed up with Perrier, the bottled water company, to create a wine for French nightclubs. It’s designed to be mixed with sparkling water and served over ice. Other producers, targeting the same audience, have
packaged their wines in 100-milliliter vials. The move towards dry wine makes sense. It’s what the market is demanding and, as Olivier Bernard explained in a recent conversation, “all great sweet wine in the world once had the potential to be a great dry wine.” The push to highlight the versatility of Sauternes also makes sense. Food is more varied and exotic than ever before and sweet wines often make the most sense. The move to sell wine through gimmickry, though, seems at odds with the tradition that distinguishes Sauternes. Few regions can match Sauternes’ history. And no wines of such consequence are a better deal. So long as one is willing to forgo Yquem, savvy consumers can purchase half bottles from virtually every top producer many with a decade or more of age for less than $30. Wines from other regions of such significance cost multiples more. One must root for today’s efforts to sustain the region and hope that serious consumers continue to find at least some space for Sauternes.

Stress management tactics for an improved self, inside and out
There are moments when stress takes over all aspects of life, both personal and professional. The to-do list feels never ending; there are never enough hours in the day; and the challenges appear insurmountable. Feeling stressed is a normal response to demands encountered on emotional, intellectual and physical levels, and often manifests itself physically in many different ways - especially in the appearance of skin. Positively managing stress is essential to achieving a balanced lifestyle and naturally healthy-looking skin. By focusing on different lifestyle choices that can impact skin like diet, fitness and stress management, women can look beyond their typical skincare routine for ways to improve their skin’s health and overall well-being. Women can embody the holistic approach to skincare in every way possible. When it comes to ingredients, what
is left out is just as important as what is put in. Look for products contain no dyes, no artificial perfumes or harsh chemicals that can upset skin, just the purest possible ingredients for natural, healthylooking skin. Dr. Josie Howard, is a board-certified psychiatrist who specializes in psychodermatology, an area of medicine that focuses on the relationship between stress, emotional well-being and skin health. Below are Dr. Howard’s top tips for effectively and constructively managing stress to help minimize the effects it can have on your skin. * Take a breather: Resting your body and mind is crucial to regulating blood flow and circulation, both of which are essential in achieving naturally healthy-looking skin. When you feel unusually anxious and stressed out, it may be a sign of exhaustion or fatigue. Find a calm and quiet space and take a few moments to “take a breather,” by meditating, napping or even just pausing from the busy day. Allowing both body and mind to take a break will keep your body feeling more regulated and your skin looking beautiful. Closing your eyes and focusing on the sounds and smells that surround you in that moment is a great way to center yourself in the present; a scented candle and soft music can be of great assistance with this exercise. * Create a relaxation routine: Stress has a big influence on the health and appearance of skin and can show itself in many ways. When you are stressed, hormones in the body become thrown off balance. As a result, your skin’s ability to protect itself against environmental pollutants and irritants
becomes compromised, leaving the skin more prone to breakouts, irritation and dehydration. There are many ways to create a sense of calm when things become stressful - listening to music, writing in a journal, or practicing yoga are great ways to constructively unwind. The trick is to pick an activity that works best for you and be sure to proactively make that practice a priority every day to effectively combat stress and improve your overall skin health. Say it with a smile: Any level of emotional stress we experience can readily be detected on our face, whether it is seen through breakouts, irritation and even blushing. When we smile, we not only look better, less tired and more refreshed, but our brains also interpret this as a signal that we actually are feeling happy and content. Moreover, smiling can help others react to us in a more positive way, which can lead to less stressful experiences overall. Take adequate rest: The notion of “beauty sleep” is not a myth: deep, restorative sleep is essential for growth hormone release, which is necessary for effective tissue repair in the skin. Stress can impair sleep quality, leading to a cascade of hormonal consequences that result in unwanted physical results - unhealthy food choices, weight gain and puffy skin. Over time, chronic sleep deprivation can leave skin looking pale and haggard, reducing its natural protective qualities. Dr. Howard advises removing electronics (even smartphones!) from the bedroom to keep stress triggers at bay and to step away from the computer and other electronic devices at least one hour before bedtime.
Tips for keeping kids’ minds and bodies active through cooler months The sunny days of summer may seem like a distant memory, but as tempting as it is to let the kids curl up on the couch when they’re home, it’s important to keep them active throughout the cooler months. Even as days get shorter, you can still use those free hours to stay energetic and fuel their curiosity. Whether your child is a bookworm, an artist or an athlete, here are some tips for keeping kids’ minds and bodies active during fall and winter. 1. Fuel their bodies and minds The hours between lunch and dinner can give way to an afternoon energy slump. Give kids the fuel they need for afternoon activities by providing a sensible snack that’s low in sugar and a source of protein for steady energy. Like cheese crackers or peanutbutter and celery. 2. Befriend Mother Nature Young minds love to explore, and
Page 8
Mother Nature provides the perfect backdrop for discovery any time of year. Bundle up and head to a local park or conservation area. You can even plan a scavenger hunt featuring local flora and fauna like acorns, fallen tree leaves, feathers, etc. For younger kids, focus the hunt on items of different colors - so they can easily find a green, yellow or brown item. Older kids might like to try their hand at geocaching - learning to navigate GPS coordinates to reach a buried “treasure.” 3. Grow something green Dirty hands are a good thing when kids are learning to care for plants. Let your young ones plant an herb garden in a warm windowsill. First, go to the library and collect some basic gardening books. Kids can read and choose their favorite plants. Give kids different responsibilities for planting and watering to demonstrate the importance of teamwork. Even throughout the winter you can reap the rewards of fresh herbs for the dinner table. 4. Keep moving all year round Research has found that the winter
The San Clemente News
months often result in a decrease in kids’ physical activity levels. Don’t let cooler temperatures keep your family from staying active. Lots of team sports, such as football or even baseball, can be fun year-round with the right clothing. If you’re in a part of the country that gets a lot of snow, you can choose from winter sports, such as skiing, ice skating or snowshoeing to keep active. Don’t forget the best part after an active day in the cold warming up over a hot mug of cocoa.
5. Get artsy with DIY puppets With some paper bags, socks, glue, beads, buttons and other materials found around the house, kids can create their own puppets. Have them make favorite animals or popular characters from a beloved book. Don’t stop after the glue has dried - inspire creative play by having them enact their own puppet show. Even during the cooler months, don’t let those open afternoons and weekends go to waste.

Women of Chapman Hold “Christmas at The Ritz” Holiday Luncheon Photos by: Tony Lattimore and Peggy O’Donnell The Women of Chapman, a women’s support group for Chapman University since 1971, held its annual “Christmas at The Ritz” holiday luncheon at the Island Hotel in Newport Beach to rave reviews. Almost 300 guests were welcomed by a jolly Santa, a quartet of Dickens carolers, a Champagne and martini cocktail reception, a hot-hot opportunity prize drawing and live auction, and an informal fashion and jewelry presentation by Neiman Marcus, Fashion Island. Thanks to Youngsong Martin and Wildflower Linen, the ballroom was awash in holiday red and green linens with gold and red-beaded overlays. With nutcrackers a theme in past years, nutcrackers in all sizes and hues were displayed on the festive tables, centered in beds of greenery, with the soft glow of shimmering votives completing the inviting décor. The signature “Christmas at The Ritz” wreath, always on the event invitation and program, was the focal point in the ballroom. The program started and Laura Baratta, “Christmas at The Ritz” chair, thanked her committee, which included Donna Bianchi, Donna Bunce, Donna Calvert, Leslie Cancellieri, Julie Grad, Michaele Hall, Kathy Hamilton, Marci Hollander, Sue Hook, Nora Jorgensen Johnson, Anne Manassero, Mona Lee Nesseth, Charlene Prager, Kristen Rhynerson, Eve Kornyei Ruffatto, Christine Sullivan, and WOC President Barbara Eidson. Chapman President Jim Doti then came up and praised the members of the Women of Chapman for their untiring support of the university. He was presented a one-of-a-kind nutcracker by Baratta and Eidson, since it was the last “Christmas at The Ritz” benefit he would be attending as president before he steps down in August, 2016. Among the many tempting opportunity prizes was a deluxe Napa and Sonoma wine country package with a stay at the Vintners Inn in Santa Rose and exclusive visits to name wineries, four tickets to a Los Angeles Kings game and an overnight at the Jonathan Club, a stunning Nancy Gonzalez exotic skin handbag from Neiman Marcus, a David Yurman sterling silver and black onyx bracelet, a cocktail party for 25 guests, and a food fest extraordinaire package filled with dinners at top restaurants in the area. The event’s net proceeds, which totaled nearly $190,000, were targeted for help complete a $1 million pledge to the university’s Marybelle and Sebastian P. Musco Center for the Arts, due to open March 19, 2016, as well as a $500,000 pledge to the Dodge College of Film and Media Art’s Digital Media Arts Center. Each lady in attendance took home a gift that included a trio of black and white striped petite vases, courtesy of MacKenzie-Childs, and cigars for the men. Major underwriters for the fundraiser included Grand Patrons at the $25,000 level - Janet Curci and Sally Segerstrom Andrews; Honorary Chairs ($10,000) - Laura & James Baratta; Producers ($5,000) - Carole & Robert Follman, Rusty & Bill Hood, Donna & David Janes, Joann Leatherby, and Deedee & Don Sodaro; Directors ($2,500) - Julia & George Argyros, Donna S. Bianchi and Daniel Avidan, Leslie & Dino Cancellieri, Sandra & William Chiles, Jill Hlavacek, and Kim Smith/Smith-Walker Foundation. Women of Chapman is a vibrant group of philanthropic-minded women who are strongly dedicated to a program of service to Chapman University. Members enjoy a number of educational and fashion-oriented programs throughout the year. Starting with just 35 members when it was founded in 1971, the group now comprises more than 250 Women of Chapman. Over the past four decades, Women of Chapman has given nearly $6.25 million in gifts to support Chapman University. Gifts from Women of Chapman have been designated for student scholarships and various programs and capital campaigns across campus.

4 small diet changes that can make a big difference
The new year is a great time to start fresh. Many people commit to exercise more, stress less or make healthier food choices. Incorporating small, sustainable changes, versus dramatic, large-scale lifestyle shifts, can make it much easier to stick to your resolutions. This year, instead of overhauling your entire diet, resolve to improve your health with simple tweaks to your everyday meal and snacking routine. Eat the rainbow Adding more fruits and vegetables to your diet is an effortless way to boost your intake of vitamins, minerals and fiber. Try to eat one produce item from each color in the rainbow every day. For example, have blueberries in your breakfast oatmeal, a red apple for a snack, a spinach and radicchio salad with yellow peppers for lunch and sweet potatoes as part of dinner. You could also pack red bell peppers and carrots with creamy garlic hummus or a banana for a convenient pick-me-up between meals. Adopt a smoothie regimen Another easy way to consume more fruits and vegetables - as well as other healthy ingredients like nut and soy milk, yogurt, chia or flax seeds - is to start your day with a nutrient-packed smoothie. Smoothies can be a convenient, on-the-go,
energy-boosting breakfast for adults and kids alike. Create personalized flavor combinations for every member of the family. If you have a sweet tooth, try a red cherry smoothie, bursting with the flavors of cherry, strawberry and grapes. Or, blend in antioxidant-rich kale or other dark leafy greens for an extra serving of vegetables. Choose healthy fats The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend getting most of the fat in your diet from unsaturated fats, which can be found in foods such as fish, nuts, seeds and certain types of oils. Monounsaturated fats, from sunflower oil, canola oil and avocado, and polyunsaturated fats, like soybean oil, walnuts and flax seed, are sometimes called “good fats” because they are heart-healthy and can help lower cholesterol. Add these healthy fats into your meals: use avocado to cool spicy entrees; top salads with walnuts, sunflower or pumpkin seeds for an extra crunch; and cook with canola or olive oil. Fats are essential for your body to function properly, so choose ones that taste great and provide energy and nutrients. Make smart substitutions Another simple way to change your diet is to sub in healthier options. There are many ways to adapt recipes
that will increase their nutritional content without sacrificing taste. Replace the typical carbohydrates with vegetables: try crispy, baked zucchini sticks in place of french fries or spaghetti squash instead of traditional pasta. Secretly swap ingredients for more wholesome alternatives in your favorite recipes: substitute Greek yogurt in place of full-fat sour cream in dips and sauces or make a cauliflower-based pizza crust, instead of a flour one, for a more nutritious version of a favorite comfort food. With the right preparation and seasonings, your family will never notice the difference. When it comes to incorporating changes into your lifestyle, it’s important to start slowly and make
realistic choices. Don’t be discouraged if you have minor setbacks. With just a few modifications to your daily meals, you can achieve better health in the new year. Red Cherry Smoothie Ingredients: 1/2 cup (60 g) low-fat cherry yogurt 1 cup (76 g) fresh strawberries, quartered 2/3 cup (50 g) red grapes 1 cup (70 g) fresh cherries, pitted 1/2 cup (60 ml) cherry juice Directions: Place all ingredients into a blender and secure lid. Turn the dial to low and slowly increase speed. Blend for 35 seconds or until desired consistency is reached.

aking a New Year’s resolution? Don’t forget salt. Most Americans consume about a 1,000 milligrams of sodium over the amount recommended by nutrition and health experts. New research shows cooking with spices and herbs could help you ditch the salt shaker and meet sodium recommendations. Keeping a resolution to cut salt from your diet is easy. Use simple spice swaps to create tasty, low-sodium meals. From seasoning eggs with basil instead of salt to adding spices and herbs to no-salt tomato sauce, the McCormick Kitchens offer these easy tips and recipes to make low-sodium meals full of flavor: n
Beat 1/8 teaspoon herb instead of salt into 2 eggs before scrambling.
n
Add oregano, garlic powder and red pepper to no-salt added tomato sauce for a tasty, low-sodium pasta dinner.
n
Try making Citrus Herbed Chicken with Asparagus, Fiesta Citrus Salmon or Tuscan Pasta. These dishes don’t call for any salt. Instead, they swap in basil, garlic powder and oregano.
For more low-sodium tips and recipes – such as shaved vegetable salad with Italian herb vinaigrette – visit McCormick.com/recipes/low-sodium to keep your New Year’s resolutions on track. To see the full Anderson study, which examined the effects of a behavioral intervention that emphasized spice and herbs, and how it impacts sodium intake, visit McCormickScienceInstitute.com.

5 financial fitness habits to begin in the new year
While many people focus on personal health goals in the new year, the beginning of the year is also a great time to check your financial fitness. So how can you whip your finances into shape? South University College of Business, Virginia Beach faculty member Dr. Alan Harper says everyone should adopt these five financial habits in 2015: Establish a budget Harper says the first step in taking control of your finances is to establish a budget. “It is extremely important to know how much money is coming in, where it’s going, and allocating it appropriately,” he says. “Having a budget allows you to gain a broader understanding of your spending habits.” Make sure your budget includes allowances for food, clothing, gas, and even entertainment, Harper advises. Start saving Your budget should also include money set aside for emergencies. Harper says the old rule-of-thumb that three month’s salary is enough to have in your bank account no longer applies in our current economy.
“We found in the last recession that people who lost their jobs tended to stay out of work much longer than three months,” he says. “You should have six months to a year’s worth of income in savings, just in case.” Harper says you should also try to put away 15 percent of your takehome income toward your retirement. Many retirement savings options are available, including 401(k)s, Roth IRAs and individual retirement accounts. It is important to do your homework before deciding on a long-term investment strategy so that you are aware of terms, conditions and any fees associated with your options. Manage your credit The beginning of the year is a perfect time to check your credit history, and to look for any mistakes on your credit report, Harper advises. Mistakes on your credit report can cost you large sums of money in interest rates, or even keep you from being approved for a loan. “The law requires the three major credit reporting agencies to provide you with one free credit report a year,” Harper says. “Pull those reports and look for discrepancies. If you find one,
file a dispute with the credit reporting agency and they will remove the item if it is incorrect.” Harper also says to check your FICO score on the report, make sure you have an understanding of what the score means, and how to improve it if the score is low. Shop smart Make it a priority to save money while you shop, Harper says. He encourages clipping coupons, and says purchasing membership cards to discount stores like Sam’s Club and Costco can help you save money over time. “Those stores will save you money in the long run on purchases like food, gas, and even personal care items.” Check your insurance Setting aside time at the beginning of the year to check your insurance policies can also save you money. Harper advises that you should review your auto, home and life insurance to make sure you have the proper coverage. “You want to make sure you aren’t paying for coverage that you may no longer need, but you also want to make sure you have adequate coverage in case there is an accident
or you need to make a claim,” he says. Many companies also offer discounted rates if you hold multiple policies with them. So, if your auto, home and life insurance policies are with different companies, you may want to explore the benefits of choosing just one company. “It’s also important to make sure your life insurance policies are sufficient to protect your family from a financial crisis in the event that something happens to you,” Harper notes. “Establishing a budget, saving, staying on top of credit and insurance, and shopping smart all take some work,” Harper points out. “But the rewards to your personal and household bottom line are well worth the effort.”
Five simple ways to find deeper meaning in everyday life Turbulent, fast-paced, chaotic - the modern world is increasingly hectic. From this oft-crazy environment, a new movement is emerging where people are pausing to find deeper meaning in everyday life. Selfempowerment and true emotional connections can counterbalance daily stress and uncertainty, providing happiness and a genuine sense of worth. If you find the days seem to slip away and life’s hurried pace to be draining, it’s time to find some simple ways to add meaning to your life. Here are five ideas for nurturing a deeper connection with yourself and others: 1. Reconnect with your passion Did you enjoy painting when you were younger? Have you always wanted to take a photography class? Do you love to travel? It’s important to recognize and nurture those activities you love most so that you’re able to go out and do what you’re great at in the world. New York-based yoga instructor, Tara Stiles has infused her passion and energy into her work as a yoga, meditation and wellness instructor. “Passion is really about going after what you want to achieve in your life,” says Stiles. Whether it’s cooking, writing or gardening, make time for what you enjoy doing, rather
than just doing what you have to. Even one hour a week dedicated to your passion will make you feel more centered and grounded. 2. Express your individuality Individual beliefs and values make us each unique, and you can express those ideals through your fashion and jewelry choices. For example, the new Pandora Essence Collection is more than just a beautiful bracelet. You can select from 24 hand finished charms, each representing inner-values like faith, love, courage, confidence and wisdom. Each charm slides effortlessly into position on a slender silver bracelet, thanks to three silicone grip stoppers inside each charm. Whether for yourself or a gift for a loved one, the bracelet is the perfect reminder of what’s really important in life. 3. Give back Volunteering in your community is a great way to connect with others and find deeper meaning in the everyday. Leila Janah, a social entrepreneur based in San Francisco, traveled to West Africa at the age of 17, and volunteered in a school for blind children. The experience led her to found Samasource, a nonprofit organization that helps individuals living in poverty. Janah recalls that “[Volunteering in West
Africa] was a time of incredible personal growth and it set me on the path to do what I do.” Whether you choose to help stock a local food shelf, supervise at your children’s school or travel abroad to help build houses for the poor, volunteering is sure to make you feel more connected with the world around you. 4. Find “me time” Modern life can be very busy with every hour in every day dedicated to some activity. This can take its toll on your body, so it’s important to remember to take care of yourself, even if you’re taking care of others. Find your own way to relax and rejuvenate. This may be spending a few minutes each day balancing the mind and body through stretching and meditation. It might be taking a quiet walk, reading a book or having a cup of tea while journaling. Whatever you prefer, make sure to take “me time” throughout the day. 5. Be an ambassador for your beliefs What truly ignites your soul? It may be your passion for green living,
healthy eating or your faith. Whatever your beliefs, it’s important to show the world who you are and what you believe in. Penelope Jagessar Chaffer, an award-winning filmmaker, shares her beliefs and connects with others through her work. “I’m always trying to find that common thread between myself and someone else when I’m interviewing them,” Chaffer says. “I find that love, and talking about love, is this thing we can use to help connect us.” Talk about your beliefs and values with others; you might be surprised by what you find. Rather than getting swept away in a hectic schedule, try focusing on what truly matters to you. These simple ways to add meaning to your life will help you reconnect with yourself and with those around you.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.AUCTION.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 021380-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. FOR SALES INFORMATION: (800) 280-2832 Publish: 1/15/2016, 1/22/2016, 1/29/2016
