>> editor’s note
Step out of the Zone Just as in the dead of winter, in the dog days of summer we are searching for comfort. In the winter we sit in front of space heaters, wearing heavy sweaters. In the summer, we nosh on ice pops and fan ourselves in front of the air conditioner. We may seek different forms of comfort in these seasons, but the weather typically discourages doing much beyond embracing stasis. Maybe it’s counterintuitive, but I think these are the times we should push ourselves even harder, nudging our boundaries. I pushed myself recently. Oh, not in a big way, but still, I edged out of my comfort zone when a friend of mine took me out for karaoke. I had not actively participated in karaoke since 2000, out on a third date with a gentleman who, like me at the time, lived in the Washington, D.C., area. On that date, I sang Everything But the Girl’s “Like the Deserts Miss the Rain.” Though I sang pretty well, that would end up being the last time I saw that guy. That wasn’t necessarily what fueled my aversion to karaoke, but I relegated myself to being an observer, the person who lingers in the back, refusing to commit to a song, demurring with a dismissive, “Ehn, not tonight.” So I was out of my element on that Thursday evening, clutching a microphone in one shaking paw as the lyrics to “Island in the Stream” scrawled on the screen. I followed that with another duet (to Elton John and Kiki Dee’s “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart”) and closed the evening with a solo song and, with a slightly hoarse voice, called it a night. I also agreed to come to the next karaoke and the next, and I’ve spent the time following trying to figure out what songs I’ll do next. I know the night probably didn’t yield a ton of personal growth, but I did extend myself beyond my parameters. This month’s issue (and most of our issues) highlights women who have reached beyond the typical bubble, with results with greater impact than an evening of karaoke. Keisha Keen (p. 26) worked ceaselessly to build her cat-centric organization into a full-fledged nonprofit. The staff at Columbus Regional Hospital’s Birthing Center (p. 20) spent four years changing the hospital’s birth protocol to gain a Baby-Friendly designation, the sixth in the state to do so. With the rest of this summer, find one challenge and undertake it. When you step out of your comfort zone, whatever the season is, it can result in magic. And if you need the comfort of ice pops along the way, you’ll find plenty of recipes for those on p. 36. Best,

Herbal bliss
You might not be digging the soaring temperatures, but summer heat is a great climate for growing herbs, says Kris Medic, agriculture, natural resources and community development educator at the Bartholomew County Purdue Extension office. “Even if you don’t have a garden, many herbs do well in a pot or whiskey barrel,” she says. “You can find oregano, sage or rosemary plants in local garden and home centers. Seed is best for cilantro, dill and basil. Use (herbs) fresh or dry them and stock your pantry.” An added bonus: Herbs attract some pretty companions. “If you like butterflies, you can grow an extra parsley plant for the swallowtails,” Medic says.

An insanely clever marketing tool, L’Oreal Paris Makeup Genius ups the game for beauty apps. Download the free app, scan your face using the front-facing camera. Select “Add to Your Look,” then digitally pile on the L’Oreal products. The app adds the products to your face as it’s reflected in the camera, as if you were gazing into a mirror. You can see how the products will look from all angles. Watch as lengthened and thickened lashes flutter, see how eyeliner looks from side to side, and smile at the camera with your freshly hued lips. Via various social media outlets including Facebook, you can share videos of you modeling the look. If you like the looks you’ve tried on, add the components to your shopping bag. You can buy the pieces from Target.com or, of course, pick it up in the store. However and whatever you choose to buy, this app is a fun way to kill 20 minutes and try on 11 different types of eyeliner, two types of mascara and countless shades of lip gloss, eyeshadow and lipstick.
Most of us will suffer a broken or cracked nail at some point during our nailgrowing careers. The usual solution is to cut down the nail as far as possible and endure any painful encounters when the crack is pulled up and the quick is exposed. But the Internet is a great resource, and we found advice for “healing” a cracked nail from XoVain.com. If you have a cracked nail, coat it in a strengthening base coat. Then apply a patch using a small piece cut from a paper tea bag. Top with another coat of strengthener. Allow it to dry and file if needed; you can buff lightly with a file to blend the patch. Cover with the polish color of your choice. The patch method will help keep your nails intact while they grow to a healthier point (get it?).
Treat yourself
We can’t speak for everyone, but popcorn makes us happy. It’s crunchy, it’s dynamic, and it provides a great backdrop for so many delicious flavors. One of Columbus’ newest businesses, Popportunity, knows that plenty of other people get just as excited about popcorn as we do. Pop in for its maple bacon flavor (small, $3.95, large, $6), a delightful mix of salty and sweet. Bacon’s not your thing? Try Popportunity’s Reese’s Drizzle, that is, caramel with chocolate and peanuts, or the cookies and cream flavor. Visit Popportunity’s shop, 1122 25th St., to cruise the various flavors and find the kernels you crave. 6

‘The Mercy of the Sky: The Story of a Tornado’ By Holly Bailey eople in the Midwest have experienced tornadoes and know the damage these massive storms can cause. In 1974, a tornado destroyed much of Xenia, Ohio. An ugly tornado came through Bartholomew County in the spring of 1996. And in 2012, much of Henryville, including two schools, was destroyed by a tornado; as is the case in many tornadoes, people lost their lives. Many of us can bring the sympathy of experience to “The Mercy of the Sky,” the story of Moore, Oklahoma, and the May 2013 tornado it weathered. Written by Holly Bailey, a Moore native who dreamed of becoming a storm chaser, the book chronicles the riveting experiences of the town post-storm. Bailey compares it to the devastation she witnessed in 2005 in New Orleans, after Hurricane Katrina wrecked the southern city. The author, who was Newsweek magazine’s youngest-ever White House reporter, tells the tale of a terrible twister that scarred and scared residents. Interweaving the stories of teachers, weathermen and citizens, Bailey tells an engaging tale. “The Mercy of the Sky” is a great read for those fascinated with weather.
‘Founding Grammars: How Early America’s War Over Words Shaped Today’s Language’ By Rosemarie Ostler ho among us has not corrected someone else’s grammar? OK, perhaps some of us are grammar queens. If so, this book should appeal to your taste for correctness, usage and why we are the way we are. The author delves into the history of the English language in the United States and the roots of our obsession with grammar. The debate in the early history of our country over which linguistic model we should embrace, imported British grammar or a home-grown version, is described with energy by the author. Many pages are devoted to the efforts of linguistic freethinkers, a group led by Noah Webster. His clashes with his opponents led to our first grammar war; these wars continue today in the media, blogs and chat rooms. The contributions of William Strunk, E.B. White, Davy Crockett, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt are also mentioned. “The Persistence of Grammar,” the book’s last chapter, points out that even though our grammar wars continue, “We may be entering a period when grammatical rigidity gives way to a greater appreciation of how Americans really talk.”
How to change your cattitude According to a recent Indiana University Media School study published in the journal “Computers in Human Behavior,” watching online cat videos may boost energy and increase feelings of happiness. The study, which was based on a survey distributed with the help of Internet cat celebrity Lil BUB, indicated that negative emotions were lower and positive emotions higher after viewing Internet cats.

A Maybe frolicking on a beach wasn’t in your summer forecast. C’est la vie; not every year can include a romp on a white sand beach that’s well below the Mason-Dixon line. But you can still look as if you got away. Here are some tips for getting that relaxed surf-and-sand look; most of them take less than five minutes to execute, and you never have to leave the Midwest.

Sea Salt Spray Have you ever spent a day at the beach and ended up with the most relaxed, textured but pretty beach hair? The secret is the gentle mist of salt water coming off the ocean. You can easily re create that look at home. Simply dissolve 1 tablespoon of all-natural sea salt in 1 cup of warm water and put the mixture in a spray bottle. Spray it on sections of dry hair; twirl the moistened hair to encourage it to wave even more.
Beachy nail colors
Polish your surf-and-sand look with a complementary nail lacquer. Think: Shiny neutrals, including gold. Sally Hansen’s Game of Chromes is a gold that gleams, and because the hue comes in the company’s new Miracle Gel polish, it’s as shiny as a UV-cured gel manicure. Blonding Spray Not into gold?

Columbus Regional Hospital Celebrates Birthing Center Changes
It was Friday, April 3, 2015, around 10:30 a.m. that Mandi Schulz began to feel some cramping. Her baby was four days overdue, and she was experiencing her first labor pains. She would be giving birth to her baby the natural way, no epidural. “When I was looking up ways to have a baby naturally, one of the biggest things people suggested was to have a doula. They said it cuts down on the need for painkillers,” Schulz says. A doula, also known as a birth companion and post-birth supporter, is a nonmedical person who assists a woman before, during and/or after childbirth, as well as her spouse and/or family, by providing physical assistance and emotional support. After more research, Schulz and her husband, Logan, hired Audrey Tyree, a Columbus-based doula who co-owns Birthing Essentials. She is an employee of Columbus Regional Hospital, working in its nascent doula program. 20
She Magazine // JULY 2015
“(Tyree and I) met a couple different times; we got to know each other,” Schulz says. “We worked on different pain management techniques, and she came to the house to get familiar with where things were.” Schulz aimed to be in labor at home for as long as she could. The second stage of labor came almost 12 hours after the initial stages. That’s when the mom-to-be headed to Columbus Regional Hospital’s Birthing Center. Schulz considered options from home birth to midwifery centers before deciding to deliver her baby at Columbus Regional Health, one of only eight Baby-Friendly U.S.A.-certified hospitals in Indiana. “I was so calm and relaxed that I almost didn’t want to go. I was sure they were going to send me home,” Schulz says. She was so confident that she tried to refuse the offer of a wheelchair. Her husband insisted she take it. She was already 7 centimeters dilated.

Columbus native and Purdue student Allison Grana goes along for the ride during one of many of the events she participated in as a 500 Festival princess.
Columbus native shines in the 500 Festival By Jenny Elig
As Allison Grana, wearing a sash and tiara, stood before a group of Parkside Elementary School students, she encountered some interesting questions. “Do you live in a castle?” “Is your crown made of diamonds?” “Are you a princess?” Grana, a pharmacy student at Purdue University and a Columbus native, is indeed a princess. She’s one of 33 college-age women selected, from around the state of Indiana, to be a 500 Festival princess.

“It was probably the best experience I’ve had so far,” Grana says. “I feel like I learned so much about myself. My confidence grew. I’m sure I’ll never forget the things I got to do. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” She applied to the program as a bit of a lark, knowing two Alpha Chi Omega sorority sisters who had served as 500 Festival princesses in previous years. Grana, who graduated from Columbus North High School in 2011, wasn’t quite sure she was princess material. “I kind of applied thinking, there’s no way I’m going to get it,” she says. Grana sent in her application in December and joined the 32 other princesses in February. After a written application and two rounds of interviews, princesses are selected on academic achievement as well as college and hometown service. Personality, Grana says, also goes a long way. After all, the princesses serve as ambassadors for the 500 Festival, which each year hosts race-related activities, including the MiniMarathon, a parade, a kids day and a Memorial Day service. Of course, the princesses were busy throughout the month of May. Not only are they required to do outreach for the 500 Festival, such as Grana’s appearance at Parkside, they are also on hand for the weekend of the Indianapolis 500, bunking in dorms at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.
After hours and days spent with her fellow princesses, Grana has gained a clutch of new friends, professional contacts (each princess is paired with a 500 Festival board member who taught her about resume building and financial planning), and a new confidence centered on her honed public speaking skills. She encourages other college-age women to apply for the program. “(The 500 Festival) is not a pageant,” Grana says. “A lot of people assume it’s about pageantry. It’s really just about making the 33 of us prepared to go out into the world. All 33 of us are college-age women and excited about the future.” Grana, who just finished her fourth year at Purdue’s pharmacy program, says her family (father, Tom; mother, Laura; and younger brother, Vince) have much to do with her achievements. “I’m really close to my family,” she says. “I feel like they’ve taught me it’s OK to be proud of myself. I think a lot of girls, when they do something good, they are afraid to be really excited for themselves. We feel like when we accomplish something, it’s not important. I’d like to thank my family and friends for always being proud of me and pushing me to be proud of myself.”

Five tips for success from 500 Festival Princess
Allison Grana Be yourself. It’s OK to be different.
If you are feeling uncomfortable or nervous, don’t think everyone will figure it out. Find people in your life who are really supportive of you and thank them for being there for you. They build you up and make you feel comfortable. Before speaking in public, take some deep breaths and remember it’s OK to not rush through.
Grana made public appearances in black-andwhite outfits, a sash and a tiara. The tiara led one student at Parkside Elementary School to ask her if she was a princess.
I’m very much a perfectionist. I’ve had to work through knowing that things are never going to be perfect. As long as you feel you’ve tried your best, there’s nothing you can do to control how other people feel. (You) should still be proud of whatever (you have) accomplished.

Keisha Keen is feline fine about her cat rescue Story by Jenny Elig Photos courtesy of Keisha Keen

She Magazine // JULY 2015
The global rise in popularity of cats has brought another character to life: the crazy cat lady. Oh, you know the stereotype: She’s the source of countless jokes, brought out for laughs or to elicit pity. She’s lonely, unkempt and surrounded
by cats. Although she is surrounded by cats, Keisha Keen, the founder of the Taylorsville-based The Litter Box Kitty Rescue Inc., wants you to know that she’s far from lonely. She puts on makeup before she leaves the house (most of the time). Keen doesn’t completely eschew the crazy cat lady label, saying she’s too busy to worry about clichés. She’s
with no note; no one was around to speak for him. “This is a typical Monday for me,” she said, commenting beneath the cat’s photo, which she’d posted on Facebook. Spritely and upbeat, she dealt with the situation in stride. The Monday kitty, now dubbed Mr. Stray Kitty, heads off to the vet to be examined and neutered. He’ll be returned to Keen and fostered out or live in The Litter Box’s outdoor cattery, dubbed “The Catio.” A few hours later, she misses the cat. “Mr. Stray Kitty is off to neuter clinic, and I could be a bit hysterical,” she notes on Facebook. “I bonded and I miss him. Good luck today, buddy. I’ll see you soon!”
ferrying stray cats to the veterinarian for checkups; she’s bottle feeding abandoned kittens; and she’s attending adoption events, farmers markets and other festivals, all in an effort to raise awareness of the nonprofit, 501(c)(3) cat rescue she founded. Keen is just living out her passion. “I want to help people find new cats to love,” she says. A typical Monday It’s early afternoon on the first day of the work week, and Keen has come home from errands to find a cat mewing in the carrier that sits on her front porch. Like the famous cartoon cat Garfield, the one on the porch does not seem to like Mondays either. The cat was left
Early infatuation Keen’s memories of cats go back to her youth in Westport, where she grew up on a 9-acre farm with her grandmother and stepgrandfather. A friend, who lived across the road on a huge farm, had a cat with kittens. When she was 8 years old, Keen brought Maggie, a little black kitten, home. When Maggie was old enough to be spayed, it turned out she was, in fact, he. “So he was Maggie until he passed away at 19,” she says. “That’s my first memory of cats.” Growing up, Keen didn’t envision herself working with animals. She thought she would be a photographer. She moved to Columbus to attend Ivy Tech, but she lost her spark for taking pictures and left the program. She went into a surgical tech program; she viewed an actual surgery and passed out. Cats hadn’t emerged as a burning passion quite yet, says Keen’s husband, Nathan, who works locally as a supply program manager. “She was into animals in general,” he says. “She didn’t fall in love with rescuing cats until later.” But fall in love she did. Keisha Keen’s friend was working with Columbus-based Community Animal Rescue

Effort, or CARE. She tagged along to clean cat cages. “It just kind of blossomed from there,” she says. Keen began volunteering for the rescue agency, working her way up to being the volunteer medical coordinator for the Petco cages. The friend had a baby and moved on from animal rescue work. Keen stayed. Realizing how much passion she’d invested into cat rescue, she decided to strike out on her own, eventually moving away from CARE to start her own organization, The Litter Box, in 2011. She was granted nonprofit status in June 2012. She credits the organization with helping her through emotionally difficult periods, including the death of her stepgrandfather, a man she describes as her rock. “I love my cats,” Keen says. “But I also do the rescue for the people. People truly need help with spaying and neutering and ‘re-homing’ their adult cats who have outlived family members.” Keen has a talent for dealing with cats, says The Litter Box volunteer Jayne Dornquast. She’s one of 30 people Keen counts on for help with the rescue effort. Dornquast became involved with The Litter Box in October 2013, after her almost 20-year-old cat passed away. In her search for a new cat, she came across The Litter Box and Keen. “She’s just amazing with cats,” Dornquast says. “She can take the most unsocial cats and make them into something pleasant to be around.” The naming of cats In “Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats,” poet T.S. Eliot warns that “The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter/It isn’t just one of your holiday games.” Keen begs to differ. “Naming is really fun,” she says. “I never use the same name twice; there are so many names in the world.” In her home, there’s Skip, a cat that howls through adoption events, making adoption an unlikely occurrence. There’s Lewes, her baby, a cat Keen bought at a pet store 11 years ago, before she was in the rescue business. There’s Vladimir, or Vlad the Enforcer, a cat with the

coat of a Russian Blue who breaks up cat fights. Then there’s Lana, a bottle-fed kitten who was up for adoption until Keen nursed her back from near-death and realized she couldn’t give her up. Naming her fledgling rescue operation was another matter. She settled on The Litter Box after going through other options, including Whisker City (which turned out to be a brand name) and The Mad Cattery (after an “Alice in Wonderland” phase Keen soon ditched). When she landed on The Litter Box, the name just fit. It is, she explains, a play on words. “People litter their litters of kittens,” she says. “They’re normally in a box. We are the box that catches the litters.” Nine lives to lead No rescue effort is without its pains. One problem is simply volume; there are too many cats. The organization has trapped and neutered 106 feral cats in 2015. Then there’s fundraising and visibility. Keen writes grants. Google the organization’s name, and The Litter Box pops up on assorted donation sites. She sells coupon cards to benefit the organization; she ran a Shoes for Shelters campaign, collecting used shoes and raising $1,000 for The Litter Box. Volunteers staff tables at farmers markets and toss out cat treats during parades at Hope Heritage Days and the Festival of Lights. Running a nonprofit has its dark days. During the 2014 Purranoia, the organization’s annual fundraising party, Keen and volunteers expected 300 guests and hoped to raise some $3,000. Ten people showed up. It was a lesson for them, but Purranoia is scheduled, with some tweaks, again this year. “I have faith in people,” she says. “If we face a challenge and we fail, it’s not a failure to me because I got a lot farther than I would have if I never tried. There are so many ways you can get around the negativity and push on.” Her positive attitude registers in the people she works with. “She has a heart of gold,” Dornquast says. “She will help anybody that needs it, and she will go out of her way to make sure that everything works.”
Cleaning up after kitty As anyone with pets can attest, a home full of animals needs regular cleaning. Here are some of Keen’s favorite cleaning accouterments and products. • A Dyson vacuum cleaner. “I love my Dyson.” • Rubber squeegees. “Take a squeegee, dry, and rub it along your rugs and furniture,” Keen says. “It pulls up all of the fur.” • “I swear by Woolite with Oxy cleaner. I spray my couch down and take a paper towel, and I just scrub,” she says. • Pets are notorious for leaving marks around baseboards. “We do Mr. Clean Magic Erasers,” Keen says. “You just wipe stains down, and they are gone.”

Before Feb. 2, Columbus residents had to hustle their recyclable materials to Kroger on National Road, to the dedicated drop-off site on South Mapleton Street or to assorted dumps and landfills in Bartholomew County. Now, with the help of donations made by 14 companies and the work of the City Garage, Columbus folks can walk out their front or back doors, toss their recyclables into a free recycling Toter and then forget about it as one of two trucks whisks the materials away for processing. “It’s a program that Columbus has needed for a long time,” says Bryan Burton, the director of the City Garage, an agency that manages, among other city matters, sanitation. “Now we have it, and it’s very positive. Give it a few years, and we’ll see the landfill space that it’s going to save.” There’s room for more in the program, so you, too, can be a Columbus resident who’s saving items from landfills. The program will accommodate some 16,000 residences, and it has reached its half-way enrollment point, Burton says. Interested people can sign up by phone or online at Columbus.in.gov/Columbus-recycles.

Columbus-based personal trainer Tracy Brooks got her start in the physical fitness industry at Total Fitness where, for eight years, she taught as an aerobics instructor. “As an instructor, you get a lot of questions,” Brooks says. “People hit you up in the weight room, and it just kind of progressed from there. I decided to get my (personal trainer) license.”

Now, Brooks devotes about 53 hours a week to working bodies out in both individual and group circuit training sessions. The most surprising thing the mother of four learned throughout the course of her certification was the role diet plays in weight loss. Diet is probably 70 percent of the battle against the bulge. “You can’t outwork a bad diet,” Brooks says. “I tried.”

Customized T-shirts
By Jenny Elig
Give your shirts an easy overhaul As my friend Katie and I walked along in the Indy Pride parade representing Cummins, we wished we’d gussied up just a little more. Oh, we both had lovely T-shirts courtesy of Cummins Inc. but were marching next to a gentleman who had altered his Cummins Pride T-shirt to look like a glam disco outfit. We felt a little plain and vowed that, for the 2016 Pride Parade and any future parades, we would dress up our T-shirts. We would not feel plain the next time we marched in a parade. To get some ideas for next year, I scoped out some T-shirt altering projects. Grab your scissors, shirts and a sense of adventure; here are a couple of ideas to get you started.
Disco Sleeves This project, which puts the focus on the sleeves of the shirt,. will take you all of five minutes and you don’t even need to look at a pincushion. What you need: T-shirt Scissors
Step 1: Lay your shirt flat. Cut out the seam of the sleeves. Cut off the cuffs and cut a slit from the shoulder to the end of the sleeve.
Step 2: Cut the hem off the cuff (this is the serging thread).
Step 3: Pinch the shoulders together and tie them with the cuff fabric. Voila, you have a tee with flair. 34

Step 2: On the back, cut out four parallel and horizontal slits, starting three inches down from the neckline and repeating every three inches.
Step 3: Gather each slit in the center and bind with a piece of contrasting material. You can tie the contrasting material in place. You can also sew it, making little cuffs of your fabric, or you can use metal craft rings. Your shirt is now ready to wear.

By Jenny Elig erhaps it’s a bit odd that such a sophisticated TV show as “Mad Men” would devote a portion of an episode to something as simple as an ice pop, but there’s a scene in the much-lauded show that captures the magic of this frozen dessert. In Season 2, episode 12, junior copywriter Peggy Olson stands before a group of Popsicle executives, giving them her ad pitch for the frozen treats. Her campaign tagline is just as simple as the product itself: “Take it. Break it. Share it. Love it.” Since the ’60s, ice pops have evolved. Sure, they still come in the standard red/ cherry, purple/grape and orange/orange. And sure, you can still break them in half, leaving one for you and another to share. Ice pops are ephemeral, joyful desserts, but today’s frozen treats are no longer relegated to the standard flavors. Markets in larger, trend-driven markets (think Portland, Oregon; Chicago; and New York) are seeing the rise of boutique ice pop companies. Now, thanks to The Flip Flop Ice Pop Co. (flipflopicepops.com), Columbus is among the ranks of cities with their own ice pop company. Founded in 2014 by Derek and Nichole Young, the company was born of the Youngs’ desire to start a fun side company they could run with the help of their young daughters, Aubrey and Alexa. “We were looking for things that we remember from our childhood,” Nichole says. “So we ended up with something that’s familiar and put a fresh new take on it.” After landing on the idea, the Youngs found a commercial kitchen and decided on their angle: boutique flavors, such as pink lemonade, raspberry cheesecake, spicy pineapple and avocado. They debuted the ice pops at the Columbus Ninja Warrior event in April. Each summer Saturday, the Youngs have loaded up their ice pop cart (specially made for them in Portland, Oregon) with 80 to 100 each of their best-selling ice pop flavors. The family sells at the Columbus Downtown Farmers Market and other public events, and caters private events. The best part of selling the pops is seeing their customers react to flavors and tastes. “Ice pops are something fun that bring a smile to people’s faces,” Nichole says. “There’s so much serious stuff in people’s lives. We like to bring a smile back to their face, even if it’s just a brief little moment.” JULY 2015 // she magazine

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Arrange the strawberries in an even layer on a parchment paper-lined sheet pan. Drizzle lightly with the balsamic vinegar. Roast until the strawberries are soft and fragrant, about 20 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes on the pan, then transfer to a bowl (including juices) and let cool to room temperature. Add the roasted strawberries and ¼ cup of maple syrup to a food processor or blender, and pulse a few times to combine. The mixture should still be a bit chunky, with small bites of fruit throughout. In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the coconut milk and the remaining ¼ cup maple syrup, adding more or less sweetener as needed, to taste. Remember that the sweetness will mellow once frozen. Stir in the vanilla and salt. For layered/swirled popsicles: Spoon a tablespoon or two of the strawberry mixture into the bottom of each ice pop mold. Top with a bit of the milk and continue layering until all the molds are evenly filled. Freeze until set, about 4 hours. After 30 minutes, place an ice pop stick in each pop and continue freezing.
