forecasts of the northern states as we relax in our poolside lawn chairs and sip on hot cocoa.

While we brace ourselves for the few weeks at most of cold weather that Florida’s winter will bring, let’s reflect on the past month. November brought a variety of entertainment to our neck of the swamp, ranging from musicals to circus performers to a zombie-fighting pop-star. We have recaps of those hot events here, just in case you missed it.

Winter has settled into the Tampa Bay area, and natives sigh at the dreary weather

CITY NEWS

The Broadway tour of Disney’s hit musical Newsies finally made its way to Tampa on November 10th. The Straz Center hosted the performance on the Carol Morsani stage for six days. A musical adaptation of the 1992 film, Newsies told the story at the turn of the 20th century New York City and underpaid newspaper boys who went on strike to demand fair wages and better treatment. In true American-dream fashion, the newsies triumphed over corporate greed in an astounding show of song and dance—especially dance.

Director Jeff Calhoun certainly brought Harvey Fierstein’s script with classic hero and villain tropes to life. While the main characters—played by Joey Barreiro, Morgan Keene, quadruple Broadway veteran Steve Blanchard, Aisha De Haas and Zachary Sayle—were genuine in their emotions and tangibly real in all other aspects, the ensemble’s spunk and choreography are definitely what stole the show. The production had 25 dancers, all amazing union actors, that did anything but fade into the background. All while singing, they tap danced, jumped, highkicked, flipped, and nearly flew through the air at times, all under the direction of choreographer Christopher Gattelli.

The show’s only downfall is that it didn’t stay in town long enough. The New York Times said that “even for the cynics among us, Newsies has a stirring, oldschool sincerity that’s hard to resist”— and we couldn’t agree more.

Across the bay, St. Pete had a fabulous time on November 21st at the 8th annual Bert Smith St. Petersburg Chillounge Night featuring the exhilarating theme “Cirque du Chill.” Three semi-trucks filled with the most chic outdoor furniture available unloaded into North Straub Park, welcoming the city’s savviest to come sit down, chill out, have a drink and watch the night come alive.

World-renowned circus artists came together to perform a fashion show, firebreathing, aerial performances, clowning around, and stilt walking. Highlights of the evening were Alexandra Nock’s phenomenal aerosphere balloon show and the Mistress of Magic gypsy. Also present were acrobats, a contortionist, a juggler, a daredevil, and a team of hand balancers. Chillounge creator Rainer Scheer gracefully walked around the

park, greeting and socializing with guests.

Proceeds from the ticket sales benefitted the Creative Clay Cultural Arts Center and the Dr. Carter G. Woodson African American Museum. This event is a hot, not-to-be-missed annual event, so be sure to put in on your calendar in 2016!

On Thursday November 13th, a slice of The Walking Dead came to Clearwater’s Ruth Eckerd Hall. Emily Kinney, 30-year-old actress for 16-yearold character Beth Greene, blessed Murray Theatre stage with with her soft, saccharine vocals. We geeked out as she sang songs from the show such as “Hold On” and “The Parting Glass.” She also sampled from her 2011 and 104 EPs Blue Toothbrush and Expired Love, but she mostly highlighted her latest music from the album This is War, which had just been released on October 2nd! Having been on The Walking Dead for four seasons, the zombie show had clearly influenced some of Kinney’s prevailing themes, and we ate up every minute of it.

Ending out the month on a Christmascarolling note, Tampa’s Carrollwood Players Theatre brought the holidays early with their opening of Scrooge: The Musical on November 27th. Although the smaller venue didn’t provide quite the same scale as Broadway’s Newsies, the 34-member cast still blew us away.

Based off of Charles Dickens’ classic tale A Christmas Story, director Jeff Lukas revived the spirit of the 70s lyric-book and incorporated a couple new aspects that led us in the 21st century connect to Dickens’ antiquated story. Rob L’Ecuyer put on an excellent performance as Ebenezer Scrooge, and little Bradley Clark stole the show as Tiny Tim. We left the theater tapping our feet and eager for the arrival of “December 25th.”

IN THE KNOW

ST. PETERSBURG A PIVOTAL LOCATION FOR AVIATION HISTORY

By Alexandra Mariano

of time may sound surprising, but in the early 1900s the roads were mostly unpaved and cars had solid rubber tires and hand-cranked engines. Fansler’s airline would surmount this problem, providing transportation that could cross the 22 miles between the two cities in 23 minutes.

St. Petersburg and Tampa, Florida may not typically be considered important cities in the historic context of the world’s development; however, on New Year’s Day of 1914, the first scheduled airline flight in the history of aviation took off from the St. Petersburg Municipal Pier. This event is aptly remembered on a plaque in the St. Petersburg International Airport that reads: “The Birthplace of Scheduled Air Transportation.”

Fansler brought in airboat designer Thomas W. Benoist to provide the aircraft for the company. The small biplane flying boats, named Benoist Type XIV, were made entirely of wood, fabric, and wire. The Benoist plans were open-air crafts—lacking windshields—but that feature allowed passengers to fully engage with the over-water route, feeling the mist of the bay on their faces. The planes held 75-horsepower engines and reached 75 mph at top speed, yet they rarely flew higher than 5 feet above the water.

The St. Petersburg-Tampa Airboat Line was the first commercial airline, founded by P. E. Fansler. Fansler, an electrical engineer from Jacksonville, saw Tampa Bay as the perfect setting for a passenger airline because of the water’s brisk atmosphere and beautiful scenery.

Before the SPT Airboat Line was established, it would take individuals two hours to get from St. Petersburg to Tampa by steamboat, four to twelve hours by train, and twenty hours by car. That last length

24 TAMPASTYLEMAGAZINE.COM

THE LEGACY OF THIS MOMENTOUS STEP IN AVIATION LIVES ON.

A performance that entertains, educates, and inspires.

The first flight on January 1st that year was piloted by Tony H. Jannus. Before being contacted by Fansler, Jannus had already begun gaining attention as an aviator. On March 1st, 1912, Jannus flew the first airplane from which someone jumped off of with a parachute. Later that month, Jannus also earned the American record for passenger carrying for flying three other passengers on a ten-minute flight. Most notably, Jannus set a 1,973-mile overwater flight record in November of 1912 for travelling from Omaha, Nebraska, to New Orleans, Louisiana, via the Missouri and Mississippi rivers.

While Jannus and the SPT Airboat Line were preparing for their inaugural commercial takeoff, a crowd of over 3,000 spectators gathered. A parade accompanied by an Italian band celebrated the occasion. An auction was held for the Benoist Type XIV’s first round trip ticket, and former St. Petersburg mayor Abram C. Pheil won with a bid of $400. Typically, the price of a oneway ticket was only $5. Jannus and his first round of commercial passengers and freight departed shortly before 10 a.m; the first recorded commercial air-cargo was a bundle of St. Petersburg Times newspapers. In Tampa, over 2,000 people awaited the plane’s arrival.

From that point on, the SPT Airboat Line left St. Petersburg six days a week at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.—and consequently left Tampa at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Unfortunately, the airline closed in May 5, 1914 after the city’s contract to subsidize the enterprise ended.

In the four months and four days of its operation, though, 172 flights were made with 1,205 passengers, covering over 7,000 miles total.

The legacy of this momentous step in aviation lives on. In 1963 the Tony Jannus Distinguished Aviation Society was founded in Tampa; each year the society confers the Tony Jannus Award unto an individual who demonstrates outstanding achievement in the scheduled commercial aviation industry. Past recipients of this award include founder of American Airlines C. R. Smith and former president of United Airlines William A. Patterson.

Additionally, one can go view an operational replica of the Benoist XIV flown by Jannus at the St. Petersburg Museum of History, located only 100 yards away from the St. Petersburg Municipal Pier.

An uplifting journey awaits you ...

“I’m completely enchanted.”

— HRH Princess Michael of Kent

Tom Benoist, the SPT Airboat Line’s designer, remarked that “Someday people will be crossing oceans on airliners like they do on steamships today.” Even in the beginning of the twentieth century, Benoist recognized that his contribution to commercial aviation in the Tampa Bay area would spread and influence transportation developments in the rest of the world.

Hello, Again

DON’T MISS THE BEAT

ADELE’S LONG AWAITED RETURN

By Courtney Caggiano “Hello, it’s me,” Adele melodically whispers as she breaks the silence with her first single in three quiet years. After bidding farewell to the world for the hope of a restful hiatus, Adele has come out of the shadows and into the light with a “Hello” that has been anticipated by millions and an album that is sure to be this year’s perfect holiday stocking-stuffer for the music lover on your list.

Along with breaking the silence, Adele has already begun to break records with her debut single from her latest album, 25. “Hello” is topping the charts in the United States, with 1.11 million digital downloads sold in its first week, making it the first song to sell at least 1 million downloads in a single week. The single also climbed its way to number one on Billboard’s Hot 100 List, which is the first chance for the British songstress to grace the top of the coveted chart.

But what took this leading lady from across the pond so long to make her way back into the international limelight that charted her path from age 19? According to the surprisingly private singer, much can happen in a girl’s life between the defining years of 21 and 25. For Adele, these 36 months were some of the most fulfilling, but if you ask her, she probably won’t be quick to mention any of the awards she’s received—not even her Oscar for the film single, “Skyfall.” No, Adele found something in her sabbatical that was more thrilling than red carpet success and paparazzi intrigue. During the past three years, Adele put down the microphone to take a big, deep breath of life.

After her 21 album that defied expectations for a not-quite-mainstream-project won nearly every possible award, critics and fans alike were anxious for the singer to get back to recording sessions for a sensational round three of studio albums. Although this may have seemed like the most strategic move for the Grammy winner, in retrospect, this may have been a nearly impossible feat, due to the legendary status 21 achieved in a single year. With “Rolling in the Deep” gaining the titles of both Record of the Year and Song of the Year, Adele needed new material to craft another masterpiece to follow the shockwave of 21—and this new material needed plenty of room to breathe.

On October 19, 2012, Adele welcomed her first child, a baby boy named Angelo, who, although already the owner of a reputation of privacy much like his famous mother, has been identified as the singer’s main reasoning behind her hiding. Angelo’s father, Simon Konecki, also inspired Adele’s hiatus as well as songs from her 25 album. One of the tracks, “Water Under the Bridge,” is unashamedly a love song for the selfexpressive, as Adele shares the weight of wonder that accompanies an unknowingly maturing heart as it realizes the seriousness of love.

Songs like this are proof that Adele’s comeback—a term that we’ll be hearing quite a bit of this coming year when it comes to the “Hello” singer—has been well worth the wait. Adele knows as well as her fans that millions of listeners have been waiting for this year’s “Somebody Like You” to give

them a good cry or the next “Rolling in the Deep” to belt out in the car, but Adele’s years of respite taught us all a very inescapable truth of music: for more songs to be written, life must be lived in between.

Adele definitely excelled in the art of living before the production of 25, but she might disagree with anyone who calls the past three years her chance to “take a break” and live her life. Unlike most singers, Adele views her career as a hobby, something she does on the side of a very fulfilling life. She herself has stated that she would prefer to release her albums, live quietly in public for a few years at a time, then return to the solace of her life behind the scenes.

For now, Adele is a mother first and an artist second, and motherhood looks lovely on the always fashionable star—who would probably object to the use of the stylish adjective.

Adele, who is quite comfortable in converse and oversized sweaters, has enjoyed trading arenas and music halls for supermarkets and community parks. Although she may not look the part of a dolled-up Grammy winner every day, Adele has chosen to bask in the glow of her raw appeal, the trait that made the teenage girl from Tottenham as real and relatable as her Cockney accent.

That accent that we’ve all come to love is just a hint of that private existence that shapes Adele into the classic songwriter of our time.

So let’s hope that she enjoys a break now and then, writes a few more songs, and gets that accent even stronger.

DON’T MISS THE BEAT - Get ready to fill those playlists. Check out this list of albums to watch out for this season.

Haute Defense Fashionable Improvised Weapons

By Courtney Caggiano

A girl has to protect herself, and sometimes all she needs is a wardrobe that says, “Don’t mess with me” when she walks into the room. Even just a simple necklace or a bold pair of shoes is enough to keep your femininity protected along with your reputation. Call the fashion police. This line of stylish defense will help you ward off all kinds of danger—including unwanted suitors, should the need arise.

STATEMENT NECKLACES This season, you can leave the Swiss Army knives at home. You’ll be set no matter what the night brings your way as long as you have weaponry around your neck. We dare you to rock a shocking statement piece like this ABS by Allen Schwartz Frontal Spike Collar Necklace.

POINTED CHOKERS If you’re a bit more timid about galavanting around with weaponry adorning your neck, try this trend in a simple and slightly-sweet manner. This sleek and pointed Jules Smith Pave Spike Choker in yellow gold will convince the world of your feminine charm, until things get ugly.

SPIKED PUMPS This year’s holiday parties are the perfect chance for you to shine your brightest, but be sure you don’t leave the house without the proper protection. In case your evening turns sour, these Christian Louboutin Follies Spiked Glitter Pumps are a classic party staple that will double as all the defense you’ll need.

SPIKED EARRINGS Keep undesirables at bay with sharp pieces that will have everyone fearing an impending impalement. These Eddie Borgo Spike Drop Earrings add an edgy touch to your favorite little black dress.

ANIMAL JEWELRY For a Bohemian look, try inspiration from tribal weaponry such as animal bones and claws. Bring out your inner animal with minimalistic pieces such as teeth and claw necklaces and rings.

TRAVEL ‘N STYLE

The state of Florida is famous for many reasons that

attract millions of visitors each year. From the world-class beaches to the thrilling theme parks, it’s hard to stay away from Florida’s attractions and natural beauty. More specifically, Florida is known for its endless miles of picturesque beaches that surround the state from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico. Everyone knows what to expect when traveling to a Florida beach – warm sunshine, soaring palm trees, and the soothing sound of the ocean waves breaking on the shoreline. There’s nothing else like it.

EXPERIENCE TROPICAL SOUTHERN CHARM AT THE OMNI AMELIA ISLAND PLANTATION RESORT

However, your idea of a “Florida beach” might change when you enter Amelia Island, where tropical Florida meets southern charm. Located about 45 minutes northeast of Jacksonville is where you’ll find the effortless beauty of Amelia Island and the resort that puts it on the map - the Omni Amelia Island Plantation Resort.

When you take a sleepy Florida beach town and combine it with a classic southern town, such as Savannah, you get Amelia Island. The Omni Amelia Island Plantation Resort is a destination that uses both of these aspects perfectly to create one of the most memorable and unique resort experiences in the state. The Omni Amelia Island Plantation Resort is Florida’s premier AAA Four Diamond destination island resort sitting on 1,350-acres of property overlooking the infinite Atlantic Ocean.

This exquisite oceanfront property is much more than any normal beach resort – it’s an entire community. Offering 404 oceanfront hotel rooms with a private balcony and patios facing the ocean, the Omni Amelia Island guest rooms are a charming place to start and end the day. You can choose to enjoy the resort by relaxing in your room with the view of the ocean and ordering room service – or step out to enjoy one of nine worldclass restaurants right on the resort property.

Aside from the resort being in the perfect location with endless amenities, one of the best assets to the Omni Amelia Island is their talented Executive Chef Daven Wardynski. Leading the culinary team at Omni Amelia Island Plantation since October 2012, Chef Daven brings over 17 years of culinary experience to the Omni and oversees all nine of the resort’s restaurants.

When eating a meal prepared by Chef Daven and his team of highly trained culinary experts, you will be left in shock and awe at how they can take the most unusual ingredients and combine them to create the most delectable meal you will ever consume.

FERRAR F12TDF

THE F12TDF IS A CONCENTRATION OF TECHNICAL INNOVATIONS WHICH INVOLVE ALL THOSE AREAS CENTRAL TO FERRARI’S DNA

50 STYLETOME.COM

RI

TOYS

The Ferrari F12tdf pays homage to the

Tour de France, the legendary endurance road race that Ferrari dominated in the 1950s and ‘60s, particularly with the 1956 250 GT Berlinetta which won four consecutive editions in a row. It was a race that rewarded cars that combined maximum performance with the driveability and ease of use that enabled the competitors to race for hundreds of kilometres a day over fast, tortuous roads and on circuits. The F12tdf is the ultimate expression of the concept of an extreme road car that is equally at home on the track, and just 799 will be built.

The F12tdf is a concentration of technical innovations which involve all those areas central to Ferrari’s DNA: engine, aerodynamics and vehicle dynamics. As a result, in terms of acceleration, roadholding and agility, the new berlinetta is second to none.

HP/LITER: 122.2 WEIGHT: 3120 LB PRODUCTION: 799 ASPIRATION: NATURAL ENGINE: 6.3 LITER V12 0-62MPH: 2.9 SECONDS HP: 770 HP @ 8500 RPM TOP SPEED: OVER 211 MPH TORQUE: 520 LB-FT @ 6750 RPM

The F12tdf ’s performance is assured by the 780 cv, naturally-aspirated V12 derived directly from the F12berlinetta’s multi-awardwinning engine. The car’s exhilarating dynamic behaviour, specifically its lateral acceleration in corners, is due to an 8% increase in the ratio of the front tyres compared to the rear ones. The car’s natural tendency to oversteer as a result of the change in tyre sizes is compensated for by the innovative rear-wheel steering system – known as the Virtual Short Wheelbase, which is integrated with the other vehicle dynamic control systems – that guarantees the steering wheel response times and turn-in of a competition car while increasing stability at high speed. Cornering speeds are also higher thanks to the significant increase in downforce – +87% – which has reached unprecedented levels for a front-engined V12 berlinetta.

A radical redesign of the bodywork, interior, engine, transmission and running gear, along with the abundant use of carbon-fibre inside and out, has slashed 110 kg off the car’s overall weight.

All of these factors combine to produce record performance figures: 0-100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and 0-200 km/h in 7.9 seconds in addition to a substantial boost in lateral acceleration. The F12tdf laps Fiorano in just 1’21”.

51 STYLETOME.COM

Designed by the Ferrari Styling Centre, the new F12tdf has particularly imposing yet sensual forms, the product of Ferrari’s continuous commitment to melding sculptural beauty with functional demands.

All of the bodywork panels, from the chiselled nose to the tail, have been revised. Wider front and rear tracks also give the car an even more aggressive stance.

In terms of the formal design language, the objective was to create a sophisticated interaction between the sculptural surfaces of the F12berlinetta and a more graphic treatment of the various new aerodynamic features. The best testament to this intent is the evolution of the Aerobridge, the design of which is further enhanced by the use of bare carbon-fibre.

Developed in such a technical manner, this component combines with the other details in creating a coherent aesthetic approach to the whole car.

The car’s uncompromising sportiness is expressed with the same degree of purity in the deliberately Spartan cockpit. The wrap-around effect that embraces the driving position is intensified by the use of carbon-fibre housings for the instruments and satellite pods. The door panels have been pared back to a single carbonfibre shell, while the glove compartment has disappeared to be replaced by simple knee padding. Alcantara rather the traditional leather was chosen for the cabin trim, technical fabric for the seats and patterned aluminium instead of mats for the floor, once again with the aim of saving every last ounce of weight.

The F12tdf ’s specification is completed by lightweight alloys with five twinned spokes that are designed to have the narrowest section possible to reduce unsprung weight.

Going back to Enzo Ferrari, the company policy on production has been to always manufacture just one less vehicle than what they think there is a market for. Production on this car is capped at 799 units, and you can expect them to move fast.

CELEBRITY SOUP

BREAKOUT

CELEBS

IN 2016

OUT WITH THE OLD AND IN WITH NEW, SEE WHAT 2016 HAS IN STORE FOR YOU!

By Riesa Pascal

Just like clockwork, every year a handful of

obscure actors, musicians, athletes and other aspiring talents finally manage to breakout into the public eye. Still riding high on the success of 2014’s The Lego Movie and Guardians of the Galaxy, which was swiftly followed by this year’s smash hit Jurassic World—2015 seemed to be the year of Chris Pratt. We can only expect even more success from this rising star, but one cannot help but wonder who the next up-and-coming celeb will be? Who will make the biggest impact in 2016? Who will be the powerful star on the tips of every tongue this time next year? Here are six celebrities who were thrown into the spotlight train this year and have made it clear that they’re riding it high into 2016!

Scott Eastwood When you happen to be the offspring of one of the most iconic names in movie history, a lot of pressure comes from the public eye to follow in that parent’s footsteps. For Clint Eastwood’s son, the apple definitely doesn’t fall far from the tree. The 29-year-old first appeared on the acting scene under the name Scott Reeves to avoid nepotism, but now, he proudly wears his father’s name. In 2014, Scott Eastwood made waves across the country with his excellent performance in Fury. This year, Eastwood starred in his first major lead role as Luke Collins in the film adaptation of Nicholas Sparks’ novel, The Longest Ride. Since then Eastwood has been cast alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the upcoming biopic film Snowden and is also set to star in 2016’s Suicide Squad with Cara Delevingne and Will Smith. With his father’s dashing good looks and solid acting skills, Eastwood is definitely someone you want to get on your radar in 2016!

Alicia Vikander She may be young, but the stunning Alicia Vikander is proving that she is a force to be reckoned with. The 27-year-old Swedish actress burst onto the scene this year when she bowled over moviegoers with her incredible portrayal of a sexy artificial intelligence robot in this year’s sci-fi thriller Ex Machina. Just a few months later, we got a second taste of Vikander’s raw talent when she gave another solid performance in the action spy movie The Man From U.N.C.L.E. with co-stars Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer. It has been quite the busy year for Vikander and 2016 shows no signs of slowing down! Next year, you’ll catch Vikander in the latest Bourne movie installment with Matt Damon and she is also an early favorite to replace Rooney Mara in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo sequel. It’s evident that there is much more on the horizon for this young actress especially in the new year!

Cara Delevingne Unless you live under a rock, you should be well aware that this year has been huge for Cara Delevingne as she went from being “that model with the eyebrows” to a recognized and respected actress. The 23-year-old Brit has walked runways for some of the most luxurious brands in the fashion world, but now she is turning her attention to movies and is causing quite a stir. This year Delevingne stunned critics with her strong debut in Paper Towns, the young adult comedy-drama film based on the 2008 novel of the same name by John Green. In 2016, Delevingne will be joining a fellow star on our list by appearing in the upcoming Warner Brothers superhero movie, Suicide Squad. Her huge social media following has had her name on the tip of everyone’s tongue this year, but you can be prepared to see a lot more of Delevingne in 2016.

CELEBRITY SOUP

WHO WILL BE THE POWERFUL STAR ON THE TIPS OF EVERY TONGUE THIS TIME NEXT YEAR?

John Boyega As many actors can confirm, appearing in a franchise movie is the career boost to end all career boost and the Star Wars franchise just might be the biggest of them all. In a move rarely ever seen in Hollywood, the widely unknown John Boyega was cast as one of the lead roles in the new Star Wars reboot set to be released this month. To say Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a highly anticipated film is the understatement of the century. The film has all the ingredients required to cook up a massive hit and the young British actor is beyond fortunate to have a major place in that kitchen! With two more installments to follow, Star Wars: The Force Awakens is sure to shoot the 23-year-old to worldwide fame and Hollywood stardom in 2016. As for Boyega’s actual talent? I guess we’ll have to join the rest of the world at the theatres on December 18th and find out for ourselves!

Tori Kelly Our last celebrity on the list isn’t an actress, but she is still taking the world of Hollywood by storm. The 22-year-old YouTube star Tori Kelly joined the likes of Justin Bieber and several others, by breaking into mainstream pop music after her now manager discovered her popular YouTube videos in 2013. Kelly’s debut album, “Unbreakable Smile,” was released this year and went above and beyond projections when it landed at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. Since then, it’s been a whirlwind of a year for the singer-songwriter. From winning over Las Vegas at the Billboard Music Awards in May to delivering a killer tribute to Smokey Robinson at the BET Awards, which resulted in standing ovations and praise from numerous artists including Snoop Dogg. To top it all off, Kelly walked onto the stage at the 2015 MTV VMAs with only her guitar in hand and completely ditched the usual gimmicky performances to blow over crowds with nothing but her voice and simple, raw talent. It hasn’t been long since Kelly shot from YouTube fame and began her ascent into overnight stardom, but we’re already eager to see what 2016 will bring!

Ezra Miller The talented Ezra Miller stunned audiences in 2011 with his portrayal of a disturbed teen in the acclaimed flick We Need to Talk About Kevin. One year later, Miller further showed off his acting chops by playing the extroverted teenage troublemaker alongside Emma Watson in the coming of age drama, The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

This year, Miller broke out of the box yet again with roles in the drama-thriller The Stanford Prison Experiment, and Judd Apatow and Amy Schumer’s comedy Trainwreck. In 2016, Miller will be starring in Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, based on a JK Rowling novel. Oh, and did I mention that Warner Brothers announced that the 23-year-old was cast as the lead role for DC Comics’ feature film The Flash? How appropriate considering Miller’s rise to fame seemed to have occurred in a flash! This kid is more than just your average actor though and it’s become pretty evident that 2016 will be a year that sees Ezra Miller become a household name.

VEGETABLE GARDENS THE APEX TO HEALTHY EATING BY COURTNEY CAGGIANO

When you think

of vegetable gardens, your mind may begin playing a black-and-white film reel of pearl-wearing housewives in the backyard, pulling away the weeds of American topsoil as their husbands are off at war.

The times have changed, but gardening has become even more important today than it was in the 1940s. Our nation may not be suffering from a lack of imports, but our internal problems with GMOs and chemically-farmed produce have made organic gardening become a near necessity.

Today, most of American produce is treated with pesticides, and 60 percent of all pesticides are carcinogenic. Because pesticides are poisons created to kill living organisms, they can result in harmful effects in humans. Growing your own produce is the safest way to control what is going into your food, and it keeps you free from those nasty chemicals to make sure that you and your veggies remain pure and healthy.However, let’s not resort to recreating your grandmother’s vegetable garden. Gone are the days of growing upside down tomato plants and watering your cucumber vines in aprons and gloves. Between your work schedule, workout routine, and daily activities, you need homegrown veggies that will sustain you with whatever life throws your way—and you’d be surprised: the most unique, healthy vegetables are not difficult to garden yourself. With choice veggies, an extravagant garden is not only a blissful possibility, but a healthful lifestyle improvement that can become your family’s reality.

The key to getting the most out of your garden is choosing the right vegetables based on nutritional impact. Rather than opting for the usual carrot or cabbage plants, take your time researching vegetables based on nutrition rather than convenience. With vitamin-rich veggies, your backyard produce paradise will give a whole new meaning to the term “victory garden.” Here are

some of our favorite choices for making other backyard gardens green with envy.

MICROGREENS Going all-out with greens is one of the most popular trends in the diet world today, but gardening your own greens is the best way to ensure that you are harvesting them at their peak time for optimal health benefits. Scientists have confirmed that greens and herbs harvested within the first 14 days of their growth cycle have a greater concentration of vitamins and minerals than greens and herbs that are harvested at their fully ripe state. These young greens—called microgreens—are simple to grow: all that is needed is a thin layer of garden soil and regular water and sun exposure.

BEETS They may have gotten a sour reputation over the decades, but beets are a delicious and colorful way to fill your diet with a boost of vitamins. This purple beauty is even known as “nature’s multivitamin” and, when eaten regularly, can keep the common cold at bay and reduce the risk of cancer. Also, growing your own beets allows you to enjoy not just the edible root, but the leaves as well, which are packed with nutritional benefits. To add some jewel-toned excitement to a homemade salad, choose to nurture a variety of beets, from Golden and Chioggia to Bull’s Blood.

KALE If you have kale plants in your garden, everyone will know you mean business when it comes to gardening. Kale is king 56 STYLETOME.COM

of the greens. This powerhouse veggie does it all, from absorbing free radicals, which helps prevent diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and rheumatoid arthritis, to loading up your immune system with protection from Vitamin C. If the bitterness is a bit rough for you, try Lacinato kale, also known as Dinosaur or Tuscan kale. This sweet, mild version is a delicious alternative to regular kale.

QUINOA Even though we’re talking about a garden, that doesn’t mean we have to forget about protein. Quinoa is one of the best vegan sources of protein, and because it is a grain, it is full of fiber as well. What better way to fill your need for fiber than with energy-packed whole grains straight from your backyard? Don’t let the exotic nature of this grain fool you; although this South American treasure is comfortable below the equator, it grows perfectly in home gardens.

CHIA Liven up your garden with this energyboosting superfood that serves a variety of purposes in the kitchen. Popular for their high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, Chia seeds have been known to stabilize blood sugar and lower cholesterol, while keeping you satisfied throughout the day.

These little wonders are perfect in salads, smoothies, and anything in between, or added to your favorite trail mix and even eaten raw. For best results, soak your Chia seeds after harvesting to stimulate the nutritional content.

THE WINTER

WORKOUT DRESS CODE WHEN YOU DRESS FOR SUCCESS IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES, IT’S NEVER TOO COLD TO EXERCISE OUTSIDE!

By Riesa Pascal

What is it about winter that makes us lose all our resolve and commitment to exercising? Easy answer—those horribly cold temperatures! Let’s not kid ourselves ladies. We’d all rather cozy up to a fireplace with a cuddle partner and roast some s’mores then go for a jog in near freezing weather. Fortunately my easy question also has an easy solution. Don’t wait till New Year’s to realize you’ve fallen off your exercise wagon. Follow Shesique’s winter workout dress code checklist and you’ll never again have to ask if it’s too cold to exercise outside.

FIRST LAYER Piling on too many thick layers is where most of us go wrong. Over your sports bra you should be wearing a dri fit shirt. As moisture evaporates from your skin it pulls your body heat away with it so the key is to dress so that you’re insulated but not dripping in sweat.

A synthetic fabric is best for this base layer as it is more breathable and comfortable then other material such as cotton. For minimal exercise such as light walking, consider donning a simple turtleneck over your dri fit shirt. For more intense activities in colder temperatures, read on!

SECOND LAYER Our friends in Florida have probably stopped reading by now, but for those of us who have to deal with near freezing temperatures, this is for you! Consider pairing your base layer with a fleece or wool top for added warmth when cold temperatures start to kick in.

Fleece material is known for its insulation and as an added bonus, you’ll have complete control over how much warmth you receive. Choose the thickness of the second layer depending on the temperatures outside and the intensity of your workout.

THIRD LAYER For our friends up North, I almost want to apologize that this section is relevant to you! When the temperature dips below freezing (I’m cringing just writing that), top off layers one and two with a light jacket. I’ve found that the best wind resistant material for your outer layer is Nylon. It also allows your skin to breath while maintaining the insulation and warmth provided by the first two layers.

FOURTH LAYER If the temperatures are below zero, it’s time to bring in the heavy artillery (and possibly time to move). The fourth layer should be a thin, loosely fitted insulating tee that is worn between the second and third layers.

The skin on your face and hands is very sensitive to these temperatures so don’t forget to show those areas some love too! Shield your face with a ski mask and consider mittens to protect your skin from the freezing wind. A warm hat will also prove to be your best friend in times such as these.

BONUS TIP Be careful! Too many layers pose the threat of overheating and exhaustion. If you’re feeling warm and toasty when you step outside, you’re doing it wrong. You should feel cool, but comfortable when you start your workout. As your heart rate increases and you get moving, your body will naturally begin to warm up on its own.

Now go out and get your workout on!

THE BENEFITS OF

BY NAOMI SHIF

Looking for an accessible way to enhance

not only internal but external health? You may not need to look much further than your local grocery markets. Fish is noted as one of the longest standing health boosters known to mankind. For centuries those who consumed a high diet of cold water fatty fish have been known to live longer and maintain a higher grade of physical and emotional wellbeing. This is mostly due to the high percentage of omega-3 fatty acids found in this popular superfood.

A few of the most respected types of fish loaded with omega-3 fatty acids are wild Alaskan salmon, rainbow trout, and mackerel. But like most studies, any type of fish consumption is better than none at all. If you’re feeling brave, try working sardines into your diet, they are packed with a whopping 61 percent of omega-3’s. If traditional consumption of this food group is not your style, the best alternative would be to supplement fish oil into your everyday diet.

Cosmetic benefits include healthier glowing skin, shiny hair and weight control. Omega-3 reduces inflammation throughout the body, which promotes clearer looking skin and it equally acts as a natural moisturizer for those plagued by dry and dull skin.

These aids are medically proven to be the results of the two main acids found in omega-3, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). The best kept secret to shiny luscious hair can also be attributed to elements found in omega-3.

This ingredient hydrates new hair follicles, which lead not only to shiny hair but to new and stronger stranded locks. Many people with hair growth issues supplement omega-3 into their existing beauty regime. The most common beautifying known benefit of fish consumption is that it is a low calorie protein builder.

New and exciting medical advances have shared insightful powers omega-3 fatty acids have on medical health before and during illness. This notable brain food is no longer just used for dietary intake. According to Tel Aviv University Prof. Pierre Singer of the Sackler Faculty of Medicine, fish oil supplements have been seen to alleviate a level of pain and healing for bedsores and wounds common to those of critical illness. An increased boost in immune system health and anti-inflammatory effects were witnessed among those in the study. Prof. Singer saw, “a modification in the expression of a group of molecules associated with directing leukocytes, or white blood cells,

61 STYLETOME.COM

in the direction of the wound, which could explain the improved healing.” Another new development has been found in the discarded skin of tilapia. One word, collagen. Science writer Becky Crew endorses the study of fish skin use that contains “around 70 percent collagen … and is closer in form and structure to human skin.” Tests have been observed that highly promote the positive use of fish skin for recovery of skin cells. Widely known, heart health is the most common and directly quoted health benefit of fish.

Omega-3 has been known to actively lower blood pressure, reduce blood clotting and irregular heartbeats, among others. Feeling the winter blues coming on? Multiple studies with adults have suggested that regular fish consumption may also help treat mild to moderate depression. Maybe all we need is a spoonful of fish oil?

As always, please consult with your doctor before adding new supplements and/or starting any new health/diet regimen.

It’s the latest trend

in minimallyinvasive plastic surgery, but does it have the results that you’re paying for? With so many new procedures promising to improve the life and luster of your skin, it can be quite a task to decipher which skin-enhancing treatment is right for you, your budget, and your face.

Microneedling—also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), Percutaneous Collagen Induction (PCI), and Skin Needling—is a skin rejuvenation procedure involving fine needles that puncture the skin.

Each puncture creates a controlled injury, resulting in a channel that allows the flesh to fill these wounds with new collagen and elastin. This process of neovascularization and neocollagenesis improves the texture and firmness of skin, while also reducing the appearance of scars, large pores, and stretch marks.

Now that more and more negative side effects of botox have been discovered, Microneedling has become the new favorite among on-the-rise facial procedures, due largely to the simplicity and speed of the treatment. The popularity of Microneedling can also be traced to its layered benefits of reducing and reversing—and possibly preventing—both wrinkles and scarring.

It has even become an often used method of treating photo-aged skin, as it has been known to improve appearance and quality of skin. During the procedure, the epidermis remains intact, so it can be repeated safely on the face, unlike laser treatments that cause possible infection and inflammation of the skin.

COLLAGEN INDUCTION THERAPY

While often one’s greatest strength is one’s greatest weakness, the simplicity of the Microneedling process is what has led to speculation of its long-term benefits and possibly its downfall. Microneedling can be performed without extensive training or expensive equipment, with some single-use systems available for only a few hundred dollars. This cost-effective and easy procedure can be done at home even on sensitive areas, such as around the eyes, mouth, and hands. Relatively pain-free, Microneedling is usually tolerated by those with even

An easy at-home treatment of Microneedling may give you the immediate results you are looking for, but don’t fall for its charms too quickly. When not applied by a doctor, Microneedling is prone to resulting in higher infections and scarring than if it were applied professionally. The risk of infection creates further probability for skin-care products to react negatively with skin that has recently begun the process of neocollagenesis. This has been especially true with serums high in Vitamin C, which can create rashes lasting as long as a year. A second, serious concern with at-home Microneedling is the possibility of purchasing devices that have

not been approved by the proper Food and Drug Administration review, as some simple medical devices can be exempt from FDA review if they are similar to devices that have already been made exempt.

When treated by a doctor, dermatologist, or a professional, Microneedling procedures can be very effective against wrinkles and acne scars. There is little risk in infection and inflammation, and the needles and devices are usually guaranteed to be high quality and FDA approved. However, do your due diligence when searching for the right doctor, dermatologist or professional who is well versed in this treatment.

Professional Microneedling treatments work wonders for sunken areas on the skin that

have been caused by acne, but deep, narrow “icepick” acne scars are nearly impossible for the procedure to remove. Published studies have proven that generally a 60 to 70 percent improvement in broad acne scars can be made within four to six treatments.

So the answer is a resounding “yes.”

Microneedling is proven to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and acne scars. If you are willing to pay for the professional treatment, you’ll most likely get the results you’ve desired. However, when considering an at-home procedure, which can also work well, just use caution and look for a quality product.

FLORIDA BORN & BRED

WICKED DOLPHIN RUM

By George Kanaw

honey provides a glorious nose of sweet orange blossoms, leaving you reminiscing to a long drive down the rural roads of yesteryear. Strong notes of spice, along with sweet orange and honey, pair perfectly with ginger beer or a classic cola.

Wicked Dolphin’s Silver Rum has a nice clean finish with the plea: “bring back the classic Daiquiri!” This particular liquor spends much of its life in once used bourbon barrels for a cleaner finish.

With a lighter and more cocktail friendly taste profile, the Wicked Dolphin Coconut Rum is standing proud on its own. A safe guarded secret, all natural ingredients, and real coconut water will help the newest addition to the Wicked Dolphin portfolio bring both whiskey and scotch drinkers to the rum world.

Resting comfortably in bourbon barrels over the last three years, Wicked Dolphin’s “Gold Reserve” is finally ready to break into the market. I would be willing to bet that any scotch drinker would love to have a bottle of this on the table with one cube of ice in a Reidel whisky tumbler.

The fact that we have access to a top tier rum made in our own backyard is something this native can proudly stand behind. I was even given the chance to taste a special project direct from barrel with “Cigar City” in its name. When this new liquor is made available to you, take my advice: hunt it down and keep it close. Spending a day with this proud rum family at their Cape Coral based distillery opened my eyes to begin looking more into where my spirits are made and how they are created.

Check out this cool weather worthy cocktail from Wicked Dolphin Rum:

DRINK LOCAL! DRINK LOCAL! You can almost hear the statement being shouted from the rafters at a rum distillery down in Cape Coral, Florida. The motto of this family run business is “local is better,” and they might be on to something. From the exact sugar and fruit to the local honey used, the distillers behind Wicked Dolphin Rum are proudly offering us a craft spirit that highlights all Florida has to offer. I had a chance to see not only how they make this award winning spirit but also why Florida natives and tourists alike are beginning to pay attention to what ingredients are really being used in their favorite cocktail.

Wicked Dolphin Rum was started in 2012 when an adopted native of Cape Coral was brave enough to ask one important question: “why is there no rum made in Florida?” JoAnn Elardo, the founder of Wicked Dolphin, began researching and found that over half of the sugar in the U.S. is provided by The Sunshine State. And, what is the main ingredient that good rum relies on? You guessed it... sugar. With 98% of all rums being imported from Puerto Rico, Barbados and the Virgin Islands, JoAnn set down the not so easy road of establishing a Florida home for a rum distillery.

With Elardo’s launching of both the Wicked Dolphin Florida Spiced and Wicked Dolphin Florida Silver in 2012, Florida welcomed the start of a new trend: locally crafted spirits. Wicked Dolphin sources their rum base from fertile fields of locally grown sugar cane located only 25 miles down the road from their distillery. Every bottle of Wicked Dolphin Spiced Rum offers a sweet retreat to a time before the urban sprawl, when orange groves grew for acres as far as the eye could see. Just a whiff of Florida oranges and local

68 TAMPASTYLEMAGAZINE.COM

The “B”s and the “E”s What you’ll need: 2 oz. Wicked Dolphin Florida Spiced Rum 1 oz. of Florida honey syrup (equal parts honey and hot water to dissolve honey.) ¾ oz. lemon juice This is a classic so taste before you change, but if you’d rather, you can add a little homegrown orange juice to bring it closer to a Florida cocktail.

Pour all the ingredients in a tin with ice and shake well. Strain your cocktail into a chilled glass and garnish with a lemon or orange wedge.

THREE UNIQUE HOLIDAY COCKTAILS WORTH TOASTING TO

By Diane Zeise

SPIKED HOLIDAY EGGNOG FOR TWO You may be wondering how this seemingly traditional holiday drink (pictured) made it on our list. While generally spiked with rum, bourbon, or brandy, we’ve added a dash of sherry to add a swift kick to Grandma’s favorite seasonal indulgence. Here’s what you’ll need: 2 eggs | 3 oz sugar | ½ tsp freshly grated nutmeg | 2 oz pisco | 6 oz whole milk | 4 oz heavy cream | freshly grated nutmeg for garnish To avoid scrambling your eggs, you’ll want to use a slow speed blender to create the perfect consistency. Blending the eggs first, follow by slowly combining the sugar and nutmeg before adding the pisco, sherry, milk and cream. Once your concoction is thoroughly combined, seal it and place it in the refrigerator to set overnight. With a little bit of patience and a touch of holiday cheer, serve your eggnog in a chilled glass garnished with a sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg.

Looking to order a non-traditional eggnog? Highball & Harvest at the Ritz-Carlton Grande Lakes offers a “Southern Oats” Cocktail that’s worthy of a brodate or a girls’ night out.

FIG THYME FOR ONE I’d consider this cocktail the grown up version of that famous line from “We Wish You A Merry Christmas.” Forget the Figgy Pudding, I’ll take this cocktail with a sprig of fresh thyme, please and thank you.

For the cocktail: 1 ½ oz pisco | ¼ oz Cointreau | ½ oz thyme simple syrup* | ½ oz lime juice | 1 fig (quartered) | sprig of thyme and ½ fig for garnish For the *syrup: ½ cup sugar | ½ cup water | 5 sprigs of thyme

With the scent of fresh evergreen and holiday cookies in the air, and the sounds of carolers echoing outside, what better way to usher in the holidays than with a decadent seasonal cocktail? Whether you’re the host of an extravagant party or simply looking to warm your soul, Orlando Style’s spreading cheer with three unique cocktails to toast the holiday and the start of a new year!

This drink may have a few more steps to it, but once you’re enveloped in the aromatic dance of fig and thyme, you’ll be in the mood for some midnight caroling and online holiday shopping. Let’s begin with the syrup.

Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan and stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. At this point, you’ll want to add the thyme and allow your syrup to simmer for 10 minutes. Cool the syrup before pouring it in your drink. The cocktail is a simpler feat. Place your ripe fig and fresh thyme in a mixing glass and muddle before adding ice

WHETHER YOU’RE THE HOST OF AN EXTRAVAGANT PARTY OR SIMPLY LOOKING TO WARM YOUR SOUL, ORLANDO STYLE’S SPREADING CHEER WITH THREE UNIQUE COCKTAILS TO TOAST THE HOLIDAY AND THE START OF A NEW YEAR! and the remaining ingredients. Shake and double strain your drink into a decadent cocktail glass before garnishing with your thyme sprig and remaining fig.

In the mood for a thyme of fig infused drink but not ready to break out the barware? Slate on Sandlake Road makes an incredible thyme cocktail called “The Thyme Traveler” with a delicious citrus vodka, plum bitters and fresh thyme. Their “(Rye)teous Fig” cocktail, made with fig jam, is a sweet alternative to a classic cocktail.

SINGLE HOLIDAY POP COCKTAIL Perhaps the most visually festive cocktail of the three, this fancy drink is the perfect companion for ringing in the New Year.

Homemade grenadine and seasonal lemons are the key to this simple work of art.

For the grenadine: 4 oz pomegranate juice | 4 oz fine granulated sugar

For the cocktail: 1 ½ oz vodka of your choice | ¼ oz homemade grenadine | ½ oz lemon juice | 2 oz sparkling apple cider | lemon twist or pomegranate seeds for garnish While I’ve chosen fresh pomegranate for the grenadine, fresh pomegranate juice is an acceptable substitute. Juice the pomegranate and pour the entire contents (yes, even the seeds) through a strainer. Now add fine granulated sugar to the juice until you reach your desired consistency and stir until the sugar dissolves. Allow your fresh grenadine to chill in the refrigerator. After the grenadine is chilled to your liking, pour it into a highball glass and fill the glass halfway with ice. Now, carefully focus on pouring the vodka over the ice and not directly into the grenadine so that the alcohol creates a distinct second layer on top of the syrup. After juicing the lemon for the drink, take the shell and squeeze it face down into your glass - you’ll want the shell to sit snugly in order to create a seal for the

remaining liquids. Finally, add the lemon juice and the sparkling cider and garnish with a twist of lemon or pomegranate seeds. After admiring your craftsmanship and before drinking, use a straw or spoon to release the lemon and mix the layers for a delicious party worthy alternative to sparkling wine or Champagne.

For photos and detailed instructions for each cocktail, visit www.OrlandoStyleMagazine.com.

Please, drink responsibly this holiday season.

May you spend your days with close friends and family, may your nights be warm, and may your holidays be merry and bright.

HELPING

HANDS A QUICK GUIDE TO CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS

By Mark NeJame

Contributor Vanessa Louise Braeley

The holidays are upon us, so if you haven’t already started, get your wallets ready – it’s gift-giving season! Now more than ever, gifts of a dual purpose are being given: a donation to a non-profit organization (NPO) on behalf of another is a creative and meaningful way to give to someone you care about. Adopt a snow leopard, give a goat to a family in need – so many options, so many passions. But how does one know which organization to select?

There are a few rules of thumb when it comes to investigating non-profits:

Mark NeJame

TAKE YOUR TIME IN PICKING THE ORGANIZATION. Selecting an NPO is something that should be done with care, over time. If you truly connect with the cause and the organization, then your first donation should be the beginning of a long-term relationship. You will look forward to receiving updates from the NPO on its status and accomplishments, and will hopefully continue to donate over the years and contribute to its growth. Donating simply for the cute stuffed animal or the desk calendar you receive is for the wrong reason.

THE IRS IS YOUR FRIEND (WELL, FOR PURPOSES OF THIS ARTICLE).

You can request 990s or tax-exempt applications from the IRS, as well as confirm a charity’s 501(c)(3) status. Obviously, if you can’t locate the organization on irs.gov or The Foundation Center’s 990 Finder (foundationcenter.org), don’t donate.

88 TAMPASTYLEMAGAZINE.COM

IN THE KNOW

FOCUS ON THE MORE ESTABLISHED NPO’S. Charity Navigator (also a non-profit organization) has been recognized as one of the more trusted resources available for NPO investigation, and provides several handy lists, such as “10 Most Followed,” “10 Most Celebrity-Related,” “10 Top Notch Charities” and “10 Charities in Deep Financial Trouble,” to name a few. Guidestar Premium is also a reputable resource for investigating non-profits. Resources such as these provide important information on NPO accountability and transparency, executive compensation and filing status – meaning, they’ve done the research for you. Check to make sure their information is up-to-date, and don’t be afraid to pick up the phone and call with questions.

PAY ATTENTION WHEN BEING SOLICITED. Avoid making donations (like, really, just hang up the phone) over telecommunications phone calls. Scammers are much more successful over the phone. Listen and read closely: NPO’s will oftentimes select similar names for their organizations and may appear associated with other, completely unrelated non-profits. So stay alert: if you’ve been solicited, don’t do the “knee-jerk” donation. Carefully investigate and follow these steps.

to those annual galas you attend. For more information on allowances and reporting information, speak with a CPA or tax attorney.

So there you have it. While it may seem like an arduous process on the frontend, the goal is to establish a long-term relationship with a non-profit which suits your personal passions and desire to make a difference in the community – any community – worldwide. So choose wisely, and you never know what could blossom. A visit to a village you helped build? Now that’s a fulfilling relationship that gives a memorable gift to everyone...

“Selecting an NPO is something that should be done with care, over time.”

DON’T FORGET TO REPORT IT! As we’re all aware, charitable contributions are tax-deductible, so keep track of what you give and make sure to itemize your deductions.

Keep all receipts of monies expended on NPO’s, including the tickets

HIGH-RISES OR HIGH FENCES WHICH BREED BEST FITS MY LIFESTYLE?

By Elizabeth Stark Maybe you’re planning on buying your favorite lady a pooch to pamper for the holidays or starting his new year off right with a new best friend. There are many factors to consider when investing in a dog, but one of the most important, and often overlooked factors is considering what four-legged friend best suits your lifestyle.

BEST FRIENDS

PENTHOUSE PUPS

FREERANGE FRIENDS

You might think size matters most when living in a luxury apartment, penthouse or condominium with little to no access to a large yard.

While letting your dog stretch its legs is important, this obstacle is easily overcome with a regular trip to a dog park near you. In fact, the best breeds for off-the-ground living are often mid-size to larger breeds, as many small breeds are too high-energy and yappy to adapt to the quiet lifestyle that is necessary when sharing walls.

Here’s our edit for quiet, low energy, polite pups worth investing in:

Sheep and cattle dogs are best suited for home living where they can spend much of their lives enjoying the outdoors and bellowing to their hearts’ content. Most small terriers and spaniels will also live happier lives in a house and not in a high-rise as they tend to be high energy and more difficult to control. Dogs that feel stressed, anxious or threatened when meeting new people or encountering other dogs do very well in an house environment.

Here, most of their encounters will be planned and controlled by you and you’ll have time to train and prepare them for situations that might scare or confuse them. Check out our top picks for dogs best ready to welcome you when you come home:

BASENJI Although a native hunter in the Congo, the Basenji has adapted well to urban life. Clever and endearing, this pup is safe to bring around other breeds and perfect for your penthouse needs.

AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD Bred to be a worker, this “Aussie” is happiest when he has a job to do. With equally high intelligence and energy, this pup finds his place in a large family with a large yard.

BOSTON TERRIER Gentle and affectionate, this apartment friendly breed has earned the nickname “American Gentleman” making him the perfect substitute when your human man is away on business.

CANE CORSO Seasoned owners will fair well when welcoming this brute into their home. He’s one part guard dog and one part hunter, originally bred to hunt big game like wild boar. If you’re a first time dog owner, you may want to try your hand at one of our other picks as he is rambunctious and difficult to control.

CHINESE SHAR-PEI This wrinkly, cute pooch’s devotion to his human family makes him hard to resist while his trainability and urge to please makes him well suited to the jetset lifestyle.

SHETLAND SHEEPDOG Because her first job was to herd sheep and protect farm lands, this dog is hyper-sensative to anything out of the ordinary.

Apartment life would drive her crazy so be sure to allow her plenty of yard and sky to bark her little heart out in.

SALUKI Because of her intelligence and speed, Saluki is best suited for homelife with regular on leash walks and needs ample, fenced in running space. Although quiet, this pooch is tough to train and not to be trusted off leash.

GREYHOUND This large breed is as obedient as she is agile and as mild mannered as she is fast. She adapts quickly and quietly, making her the perfect addition to any rooftop home.

SCHIPPERKE This pup’s best qualities make him great for home living. He’s fearlessly devoted to his human, with his sole purpose being to protect his home at all cost. He’s also incredibly intelligent and curious, so he’s best suited for large fenced in areas and regular leashed explorations.

MANCHESTER TERRIER He may have a strong bark and a brave heart, but this terrier is easy to train, easy to command and easy to live with at the top of a highrise. He enjoys a good chase almost as much as he enjoys making new friends, so be sure to take him to a neighborhood dog park as often as you can.

While having a “popular” or “in style” breed is appealing, think first of your future furry family member’s happiness and well-being. Opt for a lifestyle friendly pup over what’s trending.
