PUBLISHER’S NOTE
Dear Readers, Now that the Florida heat is rising upon us, we can finally say that summer is here, and with it comes all the wonderful experiences that summer in Tampa is known for. Days are getting longer, temperatures are getting hotter, our economy is getting even stronger, and the local housing market is on the upswing while local businesses are continuing to blossom. Summer is the perfect time to enjoy all the excitement that Tampa Bay has to offer, especially in the beautiful sunshine, so let’s get out and partake in outdoor activities and summer sports while the sun is shining. For those of you who have been following the World Cup action in Russia, which team is your favorite team? Let us know by sending us an email to info@ StyleToMe.com, or share with us some of your favorite local events and activities for summer. We’d love to hear from you! In this generation, sports seem to be the number one profession that allows men to feel accepted, confident, and worthy of praise. However, television and media don’t portray the average man in such a wonderful light. I would like to take this opportunity to voice my opinion in regards to how men are represented. We are constantly bombarded with sitcoms and reality shows depicting men as dummies and deadbeat dads—descriptions that we know could not be further from the truth. We can’t even tune in without seeing a commercial hinting that men in general are nothing more than sex-obsessed womanizers, brimming with incompetence, and brutish slobs who possess

very few redeeming qualities. I think TV shows, commercials and movies need to cut us a little slack and shine a more positive light on men. After all, there really are good men still around! So let’s celebrate those good men in this Summer issue. This exciting issue features motivating articles and photo series to inspire your summer, and you’ll also discover our “No.1 Elite Doctors” special, where you might find just the right doctor for your needs. Doctors are amazing, and even more amazing is the human body. Did you know that with the exception of our cerebral cortex, the portion of our brain responsible for consciousness is entirely replaced every seven years? Although this may be an exaggeration, it’s an intriguing idea. Red blood cells are completely replaced every 120 days. Skin cells are changed out about every four weeks, and the surface of your lungs are only three weeks old. Amazingly, our bodies are in a constant state of rebuild! In fact, by the time you read this, millions of your cells will have died and been replaced with new ones. Perhaps we are obsessed with newness because we are constantly renewing, which is why Tampa Style is just the right magazine for you, with ever-changing original content in every issue, every month, every year… unlike the TV media that repeats everything over and over again. Sometimes I can’t believe that advertisers are still buying into that. Entertainment should inspire you to embrace change, just like we strive to do with Tampa Style each month. Let us know your thoughts.
With every issue, we aim to create a magazine that surpasses the quality and content of each preceding release. This labor of love requires total dedication each and every day. Tampa Style is always at the top of the charts when it comes to being the most loved, read and respected magazine in the city, we know that our readers are living proof of our recognized popularity. You can help strengthen our passion to keep producing this high quality, fulfilling and satisfying product by showing your appreciation for our efforts through your continuous support, as well as by encouraging your friends and acquaintances to join our list of growing ‘family’ members by subscribing to our magazine. Simply go to our website, www.TampaStyleMagazine.com and click “tampastylemagazine.com/subscribe/” Please stay safe this hurricane season and enjoy the beauty around you! Sincerely, Sven J. Bode

DISCOVER ADVENTURE By Cathleen K. Bode
In the Eastern Region of the Dominican Republic surrounded by jungles of coconut trees and lush mangroves sits one of the most idyllic locales in the Caribbean. Punta Cana, the serene home to colorful coral reefs, boasts one of the top beaches in the world, Bavaro Beach. The vibrant lands of Punta Cana and Bavaro live up to its name, La Costa del Coco, or the Coconut Coast. Calm, crystalline waters and powdery white sand peppered with palms stretching to the sky welcome eager voyagers to a getaway at the Royalton Bavaro Resort & Spa. The most beautiful aspect of Royalton Bavaro— after the incomparable seaside views—is the transfer services of Nexus Tours, taking you from the airport straight to your resort destination in comfort and style. The Nexus staff even monitors your flight to ensure that your car will be ready when you arrive, so you’ll be in a peaceful state of mind even before your holiday begins. 20

The newly-opened Royalton Bavaro Resort & Spa is your home away from home, keeping you more comfortable than ever with their signature All-In Luxury. The resort features 730 contemporary suites, each with a balcony terrace and Royalton’s own DreamBed and free WiFi with All-In Connectivity. After a soak in your in-room Jacuzzi or treating yourself to a sweet bite from the resort’s 24-hour room service, you’ll wonder how you even vacationed before Royalton. As luscious as the suites may be, the rest of Royalton is calling, so you’ll want to begin exploring the paradisiacal resort grounds as soon as you arrive. Brimming with awardwinning hospitality, world class reservation-free dining with chef-curated menus, an elegant casino for players at every level, and exciting night life and entertainment, Royalton was definitely made for the enthusiastic traveler. With an upgrade to Diamond Club, you’ll experience the best of the island life at
Royalton, from butler and waiter service to the premium Diamond Club Lounge, as well as exclusive pool, beach, and dining areas and complimentary access to the Caribbean’s largest waterpark at Memories Splash. This is the perfect vacation to let the kids tag along on your journey through paradise! The Royalton Bavaro Kids Adventure Program keeps your little ones entertained all day long, with the Clubhouse Kids Club of daily activities and games and the Hangout Teens Club. Rise and shine as the scents of fresh local ingredients invigorate your senses for a morning of adventure with a stroll down to Gourmet Marche, the resort’s international buffet that offers unique flavors and healthy options to get your day heating up. Or if you’re in the mood for breakfast in bed, sleep in and allow Royalton Bavaro’s 24-hour room service to ease you into your midmorning activities.

Royalton Bavaro Resort & Spa, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic All Inclusive After a delicious breakfast, you might still be hungry… for excitement. If so, you’re in the perfect location for fun in the sun, from shore to sea. For an enjoyable day on property, visit FlowRider, Royalton’s onsite surf machine, where you can hit the waves with the whole family or take private surf lessons. Next, cool down with a ride through the 1,200-foot-long lazy river, complete with mini caves and scenic twists and turns.
Punta Cana is full of ways to express your inner explorer, so grab your favorite swimwear and get ready for an afternoon of discovering underwater wonders. Cruise the coast of Bavaro Beach or take a snorkel excursion in the Coresito Reef, where you’ll get a brilliant view of some of the most interesting sea creatures the Caribbean has to offer, so be sure to bring your waterproof camera to share them with your friends back on land.
From racing speedboats to zip-lining and catamaran sailing to deep sea sport fishing, there’s an endless array of ways to fulfill your need for adventure at Punta Cana. Swim with dolphins, sharks, and stingrays, relax in the natural pools, take a shopping trip around the nearby cities, or opt for a journey to the Los Haitises National Park. Whatever you decide to do on your thrilling vacay, be sure to enjoy both land and sea.
With so much to do in the Punta Cana waters, you might never want to return to shore, but the wonderful resort bars back at Royalton Bavaro Resort may coax you to reconsider. Martini Mix and the Lobby Bar provide creative concoctions to relax you after a day chasing waves and wildlife. If relaxation is more your style, Royalton has wonderful ways to help you center yourself and channel inner peace among the beautiful views of Bavaro beach. Book an appointment at the
Royal Spa, your rejuvenation haven, offering comprehensive spa packages, 30-minute express treatments, and a hydrotherapy circuit. With a full range of massages, body treatments, and facials, you’ll find just the right recipe for kicking back in luxury. Perhaps even stop in for a quick mani/pedi, or makeup and hair services for a glamorous night. The Royalton Fit program will keep you in shape even on your most indulgent vacation. The program offers nearly 120 weekly fitness classes, the latest equipment, and a beautiful atmosphere to make your workout experience an enjoyable one. Get your day started bright and early with a morning yoga class that will energize your cells and enliven your spirit. One of the best ways to relax in royal style is spending the day in one of the cabanas at the Diamond Club pool.

LOCATED JUST A SHORT DRIVE FROM THE WORLD FAMOUS DUVAL STREET, STOCK ISLAND IS HOME TO A BOATHOUSE CHIC BOUTIQUE HOTEL.
I’m a born and raised Florida girl. Being
in a tropical climate, feeling the ocean’s breeze whip through my hair and catching a few waves on my surfboard is something that has been instilled in my day-to-day life. I live for it, I love it and I couldn’t imagine living somewhere that isn’t within a 30-minute drive from the ocean. One of my favorite things about Florida’s beaches is that they are all unique in their own way. More specifically, the Florida Keys is a paradise of its own. Each Key is a little different from the other, but they all have a mystique. Key West is, by far, one of the most popular, but sometimes the hustle and bustle of Duval Street can be overwhelming. For locals and visitors
who want to get away from it all with that Key West vibe and all the same outdoor activities, I know just the spot for you. Located just a short drive from the world famous Duval Street, Stock Island is home to a boathouse chic boutique hotel, The Perry Hotel Key West, which represents the iconic industrial maritime heritage from which Stock Island has developed. Steeped in Key West’s local roots and its tradition of working waterfronts, fishing fleets and marinas, the property’s interior design blends sharp, rugged elements with warm, ocean-inspired touches, evoking the story of fishermen who once sought refuge in Safe Harbour. The 100-room boutique hotel features
hand-crafted art made by local artists, a pool deck that overlooks the waterfront, and guest rooms with spacious, private balconies and expansive ocean views. Stock Island Marina Village is a private marina located just a quick drive away from Key West. The marina consists of 220 slips making it the largest deep-water marina in the Florida Keys, with the ability to accommodate vessels up to 300 feet in length. The working waterfront for shrimpers and fisherman that earned its name from the livestock that were kept there in an era long ago, Stock Island has been quietly flying under the radar as a vacation destination, but not anymore!

LET ME BEGIN BY SAYING THAT THE CUISINE AT THE PERRY IS UNPARALLELED, FEATURING TWO ‘BOAT-TO-TABLE’ RESTAURANT CONCEPTS.
As soon as I stepped foot into The Perry Hotel Key West at Stock Island Marina, I knew there were big plans for this location with its emerging arts and culinary scene. I could tell this property had a specific appeal to the sophisticated and discerning traveler. The property pays homage to Key West’s maritime and fishing heritage with an edgy, modern design, direct marina access and “boat-to-table” experiential restaurant concepts. A lush outdoor pool area and guest rooms that feature expansive balconies with waterfront views, some even with outdoor showers, are among the touches that set The Perry Hotel apart, making it an ideal home base for boating, diving and fishing enthusiasts looking to experience the natural beauty of the Florida Keys in style. Let me begin by saying that the cuisine at The Perry is unparalleled. Featuring two ‘boat-to-table’ restaurant concepts, they both utilize the freshest produce, highestquality meats and local seafood to showcase classic Key West recipes with a unique twist that can only be found at the property. With a laidback atmosphere that evokes long summer days spent out on the water, the staff is focused on supporting local sources and exceptional guest service. The Perry Hotel sets the bar for waterfront dining in the foodcentric Florida Keys. Let me tell you about Matt’s Stock Island Kitchen and Bar – it is incredible.

keeps guests coming every night – there’s no reason to ever leave the property! This full-service restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, with a focus on local must-haves such as stone crab, snapper and Key West pink shrimp. Guests can dine inside or outdoors with unobstructed views of the picturesque waterfront, extraordinary yachts and boats gliding in and out of the marina. The restaurant also features a communal chef ’s table where guests can chat with locals and visitors alike. For a taste of local comfort food, guests can’t miss Chef Ryan’s famous fried chicken and crab beignets. If you’re looking for a bite out by the pool and the dock, The Perry Hotel’s outdoor restaurant, Salty Oyster Dockside Bar and Grill, is the place to go. Remember that feeling of salt on your skin after days where you spent hours playing in the ocean as a kid? Salty Oyster offers casual fare in a comfortable and marina-chic atmosphere. Whether lounging poolside or admiring the sunset from the dock, guests can enjoy fresh-caught seafood, burgers and of course, oysters, while soaking up the sun with an ice-cold cocktail in hand. Stop on by for lunch or dinner daily! There’s no doubt that Florida is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. However, when it comes down to the culture of the Keys mixed with a boathouse elegance (that just can’t be found anywhere else) there’s no better place then the Perry Hotel Key West.

JETSON LIVING It’s the era of the smart home By Yngrid Lindores
Converting a home into a smart home is all about maximizing the function of your home; this means extra convenience without sacrificing style. Practically everything in a house, from ceiling fans, thermostats, lights and garage doors, can be connected to wifi and controlled via mobile devices or smart speakers. Setting up a smart home only seems like a daunting task best left to the most tech-savvy of people; it is in reality quite straight forward and simple. The first step is to acquire a home hub, which is the central device that connects all other gadgets in a home, thus central to controlling the communications among them. There are many reliable hubs out on the market such as Google’s Home, Amazon’s Echo or the Apple HomePod, which are essential for a smart home. Certainly each home owner has a vision for their home, so it’s important to choose

a system that will fit the bill. It’s important for home owners to sort their priorities. In fact, some may find it helpful to go from room to room and consider what would be most convenient. Voicecontrolled assistants like Amazon’s Alexa, Apple’s Siri, and Google’s Assistant allow people to navigate smart home gadgets by saying commands like, “Alexa, turn on the ceiling fan.” For some issuing voice commands might be easier, while some may prefer using app-based controls on a phone. Home owners won’t have to choose between function and style, since modern smart home features are now not only functional but also inherently sleek and refined. In fact smart home products are only getting more sleek and inconspicuous with time.

You have your rosé, flowers, sandwiches, fresh-cut strawberries, and your gingham blanket... now what? Planning your outfit for your picnic is equally as important as planning what to eat, and maybe even more fun. Here are a few pieces that’ll make your fairytale-like picnic a summer memory that you’ll cherish. The last thing you want to wear on your picnic is denim that’ll only end up sticking to you. One of the most effortless trends that’ll have you looking put together on your picnic is the wrap skirt. Wrap skirts can be mini or maxi, whichever you prefer; they are easy and breezy, and the easiest article of clothing to style. The good thing about styling your wrap skirt is that you already own the other piece you need to complete your look. If your skirt has pattern, try a basic white tank. Or even match a floral crop top with a solid color wrap. Sounds maybe too easy, right?
Another option is wearing a tie front crop top. Tie front tops are on the rise and seem to be everywhere, and we can easily see why. The frontknot is adjustable so you can breathe on these hot, sunny days. Pair your crop top with a mini skirt or even some cotton high waisted shorts. These light, airy tops will have you laying back on your blanket relaxing and enjoying the sun. Now that you have the hardest part of getting a look together done, accessorizing should be a breeze. Woven bags are in, so don’t be afraid to carry around your picnic basket around like a purse. You can even add a colorful bow on the handle to add a cute accent. The perfect shoe to match your picnic theme is the espadrille. These roped soles come in different heights and in neutral tones. The cool tones and woven bottoms will match any outfit, and will even complement your picnic basket.

DON’T MISS THE BEAT
BRITISH icon SAM SMITH

| ORLANDOSTYLEMAGAZINE.COM
DON’T MISS THE BEAT
...will make his long-awaited debut at Orlando’s Amway Center on July 11, followed by a stop at Tampa’s Amalie Arena on July 13. By Courtney Caggiano
With a masterful second album and a rejuvenated, hopeful self-awareness, Sam Smith has crafted a live experience that exhibits the singer’s musical and emotional maturity as one of pop’s most charming artists. From his influential rise to fame in October 2012 as the featured vocalist on Disclosure’s groundbreaking single “Latch” and his 2014 first studio album, In the Lonely Hour, Smith has been renovating the musical scene with endearing vulnerability—his enchanting falsetto and overly-honest lyrics have entranced the hearts of millions—an impossible feat for a sentimental singer without a talent like Smith’s to match. In November 2017, Smith released his highlyanticipated second album, The Thrill of It All, greeting the world with an unexpected sense of independence. The Thrill of It All is signature Smith at his best— heightened sensitivity matched with vulnerable vocals that reach heights achievable only by one who has been bitterly wounded by a former lover. Still, even while showing off his ever-rooted tenderness, Smith impresses audiences with a newfound strength that defines a new era of confidence for the singer. Lyrics like, “You made me sad till I loved the shade of blue,” may reflect scars of young love, but don’t be fooled—although well-versed in an array of relational stings, Smith has resolved to be a relentless protector of his delicate heart. In his 2017 gospel-tinged introduction to the album, “Too Good at Goodbyes,” Smith promises, “Every time you hurt me, the less that I cry,” which is a long way from his desperate pleas for affection in 2014’s “Stay with me.” The three years separating the two charttopping hits must have been paved with growth, as Smith’s “Too Good at Goodbyes” gave a glimpse of a more fully-defined artist—transforming the stains of heartbreak into a portrait of a refined young artist.
sixth number one single, and it debuted at number one in the U.S. on the Billboard’s Digital Song Sales chart, with worldwide Spotify streams of the single exceeding 100 million. Continuing to echo the impact of his first album, Smith shared “One Last Song” as a second single and a successful follow-up to “Too Good at Goodbyes.” In March of 2018, the world welcomed the album’s third single, “Pray,” one of the singer’s most spiritual pieces. Featuring American rapper Logic, the melancholy track highlights the paradox of a soul living in worldly fame while searching for divine intervention. Smith lets his haunting voice climb unforeseen mountains with vocal runs that would not be out of place in gospel choirs. Not only does The Thrill of It All showcase the myriad feelings of a capable soul, it also demonstrates Smith’s immense ability as a worthy songwriter and a stunning vocalist. Throughout the album, Smith offers purposeful lyrics washed with clarity and poignancy—words with much more perspective of his personal life than those of his previous album. Smith’s live renditions of these powerful songs are sure to fill you with poetic inspiration and hope in the lonely hour, so come experience the magical gift of Sam Smith and his cherubic vocals on July 11 at the Amway Center in Orlando or July 13 at the Amalie Arena in Tampa.
THE THRILL OF IT ALL IS SIGNATURE SMITH AT HIS BEST—HEIGHTENED SENSITIVITY MATCHED WITH VULNERABLE VOCALS THAT REACH HEIGHTS ACHIEVABLE ONLY BY ONE WHO HAS BEEN BITTERLY WOUNDED BY A FORMER LOVER.
“Too Good at Goodbyes” remained on the Singles Chart Top 100 for three consecutive weeks, becoming Smith’s

BEAT THE HEAT
By Megan Miller
All white everything
Dressing in all one color may seem silly and impossible, but if you know how to pull it off correctly, you’ll be fashionable and ready to take on the sun. Keeping your look head-to-toe all one color is called tonal dressing and is very popular amongst menswear. White can be a difficult one because of the variations of color such as egg shell, beige, ivory, etc., but it’s actually very simple. A rule of thumb for monochromatic looks is to make sure that each item is the same shade. By doing this your outfit looks cohesive and put together. If you find yourself bored with this try switching up the textures. Pairing linen trousers
with a cotton button down shirt is the perfect light texture combo to keep you cool. Still feeling a bit nervous to try this trend out? Sticking with a white top and a white pant, and adding sharp brown accessories may be the way to go. Go all in with white loafers, or add some nuetral color with a brown belt and classic brown loafers. Learning how to accessorize your tonal outfit is key, so keep those straw hats in mind! With this look you’ll be ready for your much needed tropical vacation this summer.
CELEBRITY SOUP
OUTRAGEOUS CELEBRITY PURCHASES
It’s safe to say these celebrities have no concept of money!

| STYLETOME.COM
CELEBRITY SOUP
Nepotism and inheritances aside (I’m looking at you Paris Hilton), most of the celebrities in this list have worked very hard to achieve their level of success, fame and wealth. From acting to boxing, each of their respective talents have earned them every single penny of their fortune so they deserve to spend their money however they choose. That being said, they also can’t blame the public for scrutinizing some of the more outrageous items they have deemed necessary to purchase over the years...
LADY GAGA The famed singer-songwriter is a big believer in paranormal activity and during her 2010 Monster Ball tour, she believed she was being followed by a ghost named Ryan. As reported to the Daily Star from a member of her crew: “She’s been telling us all for months that she has a male spirit called Ryan who travels the world with her.” She believed this so deeply that she invested $47,000 on an state-of-the-art Electromagnetic Field machine and a team of paranormal experts to investigate every concert venue she performed in and hotel in which she stayed. While gigging in Ireland, she even reportedly held a seance in an attempt to see Ryan off once and for all.
NICOLAS CAGE The Academy Award-winning actor has enough weird and expensive purchases to fill up this whole article, but for now we’ll focus on two! First of all, who could forget the time Cage once bought a $276,000 dinosaur skull? However, once he found out that the skull had to be smuggled into the US, he kindly decided to return it to the owners. But perhaps one of the absolute strangest things he’s ever purchased was an alleged haunted mansion in New Orleans that was featured in American Horror Story: Coven. Cage purchased the house in 2006 for $3,450,000 but lost it due to foreclosure in 2009. Unlike Cage, something tells me Gaga has no interest in this particular purchase.
BONO For someone who frequently encourages others to donate money, Bono sure seems to enjoy spending his own money frivolously! Most notably was the time Bono spent more than $1,500 on getting his hat from London to Modena because he refused to do a charity concert without it. Yes, you read that correctly…$1,500 on travel expenses for a hat. After he realized he had left his favorite trilby in London, Bono had it put in a taxi to the airport, then he bought it a first-class seat on a British Airways flight to Bologna (though it rode in the cockpit with the pilot), then had it placed in another taxi to Modena, Italy.
PARIS HILTON It’s an unwritten rule that all fur babies should be spoiled mercilessly by their parents and if you’re Paris Hilton, then you can take that rule to a whole new level! One can easily imagine how much expensive clothing and jewelry Paris has bought for her pets, but did you know that she also had a custom doggy house built in her backyard for $325,000? Naturally the two-story dog house was modeled from her own mansion and it has many luxurious features including air conditioning, heating, designer furniture, access to the pool, leather chairs, and even an elegant chandelier.
ELTON JOHN Who says flowers are a luxury for women only? Elton John loves them so much, he once spent nearly half a million dollars on them in just 20 months! In the late 1990s, the singer and composer took some former business associates to court to get to the bottom of a £20 million hole in his finances. This resulted in having his spending habits closely examined and among the bank statements and receipts it was discovered that Elton John spent around $400,000 on flowers for himself in a 20 month period. He responded to public criticism saying,
“I like flowers. I don’t have any people to leave my money to, I’m a single man, I like to spend money. It’s my money to spend.”
MIKE TYSON When he was in his prime, the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world seemed eager to blow his entire fortune on exorbitantly expensive luxury goods and bizarre spending sprees. According to bankruptcy documents, Mike Tyson spent nearly $4.5 million on cars and motorcycles, $3.4 million on clothes and jewelry, and $7.8 million on personal expenses. He once even famously spent $140,000 on the purchase of two white Bengal tiger cubs and another $125,000 a year for their trainer. However, perhaps nothing is more bizarre than Mike’s purchase of a multi-million dollar bathtub. The 24-karat, solid gold tub was purchased as a birthday gift for his then-wife Robin Givens for $2.3 million.

Foods that WILL Give Your Skin a Healthy, Natural Glow & 5 Foods to Avoid By Mary Martin Armstrong
1. Fish Try adding this lean protein to your diet for a healthy dose of Omega 3. These fatty acids aid in the production of collagen which can make your skin appear more youthful by improving its elasticity. We recommend wild salmon, as it contains antioxidants that are known to reduce inflammation. Add fish oil supplements to your vitamin intake to reap the same benefits. 2. Avocados Avocados are a great source of healthy fats, which can help reduce skin inflammation. Additionally, they contain a fair amount of vitamin E which prevents wrinkles and vitamin C which brightens your skin. Biotin is also found in avocados and is known to keep skin nice and moisturized. 3. Walnuts Like fish, walnuts contain omega 3 fatty acids and can therefore reduce inflammation and prevent heart disease. Walnuts are also a good source of vitamin

Avoid
Eat B, which can lessen stress and prevent wrinkles and aging in the skin. Remember to eat these nuts in moderation, however, as they are relatively high in calories. 4. Dark Chocolate Surprised? Most people assumed that chocolate is bad for your skin. There is some truth to this, as chocolate with a high sugar content is often linked to breakouts. However, dark chocolate that has a high percentage of cacao contains flavonoids that reduce inflammation and vitamins that moisturize skin. Dark chocolate also contains minerals that can help clear eczema. 5. Tomatoes Tomatoes are a good source of vitamin E and also contain a phytochemical called lycopene which can protect your skin from damage caused by ultraviolet rays.. Tomatoes can easily be added to almost any dish and are used in many skin-brightening face masks.
1. Fried food Fried and greasy food items are linked to oily skin and acne breakouts. 2. Processed Sugars Studies have found connections between diets with larger percentages of processed sugars and more episodes of acne breakouts. 3. White Bread Refined carbohydrates are known to increase skin inflammation. 4. Chips Chips and other salty snacks can also cause inflammation and decrease collagen production. 5. Dairy Dairy-free diets have recently been linked to less breakouts and clearer skin.
SPOTLIGHT ON THE LAW
WHAT JURORS ARE NOT TOLD ABOUT FEDERAL CRIMINAL TRIALS
By Mark L. Horwitz Criminal Defense Attorney Law Offices of Horwitz & Citro, P.A. Offices in Orlando and Tampa Orlando: 407-843-7733 Tampa: 813-397-3613 mark@horwitzcitrolaw.com www.horwitzcitrolaw.com

The Sixth amendment to the United States Constitution provides that in all criminal prosecutions the accused has the right to a trial by an impartial jury. The Founding Fathers recognized citizens must be protected from abusive prosecutions that are motivated by political considerations or based upon false or insufficient facts. The right to trial by jury places citizens, serving as jurors, between the accused and the government. Prosecutors and investigators are not always right in deciding to prosecute a case. Mistakes can be made by investigators due to inexperience, failure to conduct an impartial investigation, intentional falsehoods by the investigator in reporting or gathering evidence, and reliance upon cooperators and informants who are motivated to seek favorable treatment and reduce their prison sentence. These and other reasons can result in innocent individuals being convicted and sentenced to long terms in federal prison. Many jurors have beliefs as to procedures concerning investigations, disclosures to the defendant and other matters that impact a defendant’s right to a fair trial. Common perceptions of jurors include: the government provides the defendant a list of government witnesses prior to trial and the defense lawyer has an opportunity to take a deposition of the government witnesses so as to require the witnesses to answer questions under oath before the trial. What jurors are not told is that the government has no legal obligation to disclose the witnesses that it intends to call to testify. The jury is also not aware of the fact that there is no legal obligation on the government to provide the defense with written statements of the witness until after the witness testifies on direct examination at trial. Some judges require that the government provide the names of the government witnesses and any written or sworn statements of the witnesses shortly before the trial starts.
Most federal law enforcement agencies do not obtain written or sworn statements from potential witnesses. In addition, most federal agents do not record statements obtained from witnesses during the investigation. In fact, federal agents go out of their way not to obtain a written or sworn statement of the pertinent facts from the witnesses interviewed during the investigation. It is interesting that in the United Kingdom the prosecution must present the defense with a sworn statement from every prosecution witness concerning the facts to which the witness will testify about. No such document is required and usually is not created by the federal investigators. The federal investigators will prepare a written memorandum for the prosecutor but will not show that memorandum to the witness to determine whether the agent’s memorandum of interview is accurate. If the memorandum was shown to the witness, it would then become the witness’ statement and subject to being turned over to the defense after the witness testifies on direct examination by the prosecutor. When a civil case is tried in federal court, the parties exchange witness lists and have the right to take depositions of witnesses prior to trial so as to find out what the witness has to say under oath about the case. In civil and criminal cases in Florida state courts, the parties exchange witness lists and have the right to take witness depositions prior to trial. Many jurors would be surprised that in civil cases where people are suing over money, there are more rights for a defendant than in a criminal case in federal court where a defendant can face years and decades in prison. Many jurors would also be shocked at the long length of prison sentences imposed for even minor crimes. Jurors may consider the quality, motivation, thoroughness and accuracy of the prosecution and agents. These factors alone may raise a reasonable doubt and result in a verdict of Not Guilty.

EFFORTLESS EVERYWHERE:
THE ROLLS-ROYCE CULLINAN “The super-luxury lifestyle is evolving and Rolls-Royce is in the lead. Luxury is no longer an urban concept. More and more it is about embracing and experiencing the wider world. Our customers expect to go everywhere in luxury, effortlessly and without compromise, conquering the most challenging terrain to enjoy life’s most enriching experiences, wherever they may be. For this reason, they have asked us to create a RollsRoyce that offers uncompromised luxury wherever they dare to venture. Cullinan is that car. It is Effortless, Everywhere.
“From the very beginning the design team treated this brand new Rolls-Royce as a unique, high bodied car. With global customer expectations in mind, our aim was two-fold – realise a presence to match the magnificent capability of Cullinan, whilst setting sector defining standards for luxury and elegance. We know that many of our luxury patrons pursue sports or leisure hobbies that require precisely this type of go anywhere vehicle – Cullinan’s design gesture had to possess an immediate sense of effortless accomplishment.”
It is incomparable and dramatically evolves the parameters of super-luxury travel, translating Rolls-Royce’s ethos of ‘Effortlessness’ into physical capability, anywhere in the world. Cullinan will simply take the world in its stride.” Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive Officer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
“The label SUV is now applied to anything with a two-box silhouette and the least suggestion of going off tarmac. We envisioned an authentic, three-box high-bodied all-terrain car with a convention-challenging design and absolute capability that would satisfy the adventurous urges of our clients.” Giles Taylor, Director of Design, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
“The launch of a new Rolls-Royce model is always a seminal moment in the luxury industry. Today we are setting a new standard by creating a new class of motoring and motor car for customers who are well-connected, highly mobile and have a global perspective. They want a new type of motor car that gives them unbounded access in ultimate luxury. Their sense of adventure and daring demands a “go-anywhere in ultimate luxury” motor car that will both take them to and meet them at the pinnacle of life. Cullinan is that motor-car.” Peter Schwarzenbauer, Chairman of Rolls-Royce and Member of the Board of the BMW Group.
“This landscape is savage, but this journey has been seamless. What’s unique is the ability to absorb the road without thought and simply let yourself get lost. You don’t so much drive as you float and it seems to get almost smoother the faster you go. The turning and the grip are unreal, almost hugging the road and seeming to glide above it. Sometimes making pictures is as much about getting there as it is about the image itself.” Cory Richards, National Geographic photographer and star of The Final Challenge.

IN THE KNOW
WHEN IT COMES TO CAR INSURANCE NOT JUST FOR THE ELDERLY
Every week people come into our office who have the misfortune of being injured in an automobile crash to no fault of their own. Often times, these people are victimized twice because the person who negligently struck them either had no insurance or, worse yet, and increasingly frequent, the at fault party leaves the scene of the crash without leaving any information, known as a hit and run. When meeting with these clients, they undoubtedly, and over optimistically, tell us, “Don’t worry, I have full coverage”. Inevitably we watch their faces sink as we tell them that this phrase (probably given by an ill-informed insurance agent) has no meaning in the law. Florida is known as a “No-Fault” state. This simply means that the law requires you to have what is known as No-Fault insurance or Personal Injury Protection or PIP coverage. This coverage pays your medical bills and lost wages at 80%, up to $10,000.00, so long as you have treated medically within Fourteen days of the crash and you have a qualified medical provider determine your treatment results from an Emergency Medical Condition. This amount of coverage can easily be consumed with one E.R. visit post-crash. In addition, this coverage can leave you to pay the remaining 20% of the outstanding balance. This is the coverage most people associate with “Full Coverage”, when in fact, it is the bare minimum one must have to legally drive in Florida. So, what does PIP not cover? The easy answer is nothing more than 80% of your medical bills up to $10,000.00. The better answer to what PIP does not cover is everything else. Many people do not realize that if the other driver does not have insurance of any kind or the crash results in a hit and run, No Fault insurance does not cover the cost of the car repairs. This again is an extra insurance known as Comprehensive and Collision coverage. Again, many potential clients come into our office believing they have “Full Coverage”, who unfortunately cannot afford to have their only means of transportation repaired because they did not understand that the term “Full Coverage” has no real meaning under the law. Jason J. Recksiedler Partner with NeJame Law & Mark NeJame jointly contributed to this article
The most disappointing scenario we see is when the potential client requires medical care beyond $10,000.00 and they continue to suffer physically. The insurance we look for from the person who causes the crash is known as Bodily Injury Coverage (BI). This is an insurance that
the at fault party would carry to protect themselves from exposure to a personal judgment. Amazingly, in Florida, Bodily Injury Insurance is not required to be purchased in order to drive on our highways. (The injustice behind this law may be for another article). So, a person causes a crash, has no insurance and no assets and you, as the victim, are victimized a second time if you believe you have “Full Coverage” not knowing what that really means. So what auto insurance should you have to protect yourself from these scenarios of injustice. Well, in order to protect yourself from others, since the Florida Legislature has decided not to pass laws to make the at fault party responsible for their negligence, we always recommend that our clients pay for the following insurance coverages: Personal Injury Protection, Bodily Injury, Underinsured Motorist, Uninsured Motorist and Comprehensive and Collision. If you owe more on your vehicle than it is worth, we also recommend what is known as “gap” insurance. Clients generally don’t realize that Underinsured Motorist and Uninsured Motorist Coverage known as UM/UIM, is part of a package which costs only a relatively small amount more if you are already paying for Bodily Injury Coverage. Remember, Bodily Injury Coverage pays on your behalf if you caused the crash but UM/UIM can pay you in the event the other person causes the crash and does not have sufficient or any insurance. The next time you get behind the wheel of your car, don’t assume you have “Full Coverage”. Take a look at your policy and make sure you have Uninsured and Underinsured Coverage, along with Comprehensive and Collison Coverage. After all, we live in Orlando and you probably drive on I-4 or the 408, which are constantly under construction and where crashes seem to be an everyday fact of life. Don’t rely on the person next to you to have insurance that will compensate you for losses. Instead, take the necessary steps to educate yourself and protect yourself and your loved ones. Don’t be victimized a second time by the empty phrase “Full Coverage”; empower yourself with actually having meaningful auto insurance coverage.

Easy Steps to Help Your Dog Drop the
Extra Weight By Megan Miller
As pet owners we want to do anything and everything to make sure our pets live a long and happy life, and health is the number one factor in making sure that this happens. Everyone likes a little fluff when cuddling with your furry friend but how much fluff is too much? If you find yourself worrying about health risks, here are some tips to help your dog lose weight the safe way. Step 1: Limit calories and fat Good news, changing your dog’s diet isn’t as hard as changing yours. Controlling calories and fat in their food is key to maintaining a healthy weight. When looking for a new diet look for digestible protein to prevent lean muscle loss, lower calories from fat, and high fiber to help with weight loss. It’s a good idea to check with your veterinarian to make sure the one you pick is the right fit. Make sure to ease in the new diet and to feed your dog two to four small, measured portions a day. Step 2: Look for additives While looking for a new puppy diet, try finding some with added benefits. Added L-carnitine helps with their metabolism and building lean muscle mass so they can lose weight the right way. Keep your puppy active by keeping their joints healthy with added glucosamine and chondroitin. Once you find a diet that meets all of your dogs needs they will have the energy to get up and go outside to play. Step 3: Healthier rewards T-R-E-A-T is most likely what makes those ears perk up and tail wag, and you may be guilty of treating them every time they give you those cute puppy eyes. No worries, you can keep treating your prince or princess, but there
are healthier options. Affection is by far the best reward but if you still want to spoil them make sure the treats contain the right nutrients. Your pup will still be excited for smaller-sized treats that are low in calories and fat, such as mini-treats or 100% meat treats. Rewards are about the interaction, making them feel good so a change in treats won’t make them any less excited. Make sure to ask your dog to do something such as a trick before giving them a treat so they are rewarded for staying active. Step 4: More play dates While diet is the basis of losing weight and staying healthy, it can’t do all of the work. Keeping your puppy active is the best way to keep them having fun while losing weight. If you have a smaller friend try finding some squeaky toys that they like to run around the house with. If your dog is bigger, find toys that they love running back to you and playing tugof-war with. Toys with treats inside of them are great ways to keep your little one hustling for their health. Stuff the toys with healthy treats or even apples and carrots. Step 5: Get healthy together Your dog isn’t the only one who needs play time. Activity decreases calories and increasing muscle. If you find yourself wanting to stay healthy too, develop workouts that you both enjoy so you can motivate each other. Hiking, swimming, jogging, or walking are some activities you can do together. It’s important to always have fun while trying to lose weight and what better way to have fun than bonding with your best friend? 30 minutes of activity a day will give you and your dog something to look forward to.

WHAT NOT TO WEAR HEELS WITH 6 fashion tips to help you not look like a hot mess Ladies, flats are great and all, but we love wearing our heels. But are you wearing them the right way? Behold, six heel outfits you should think twice about. 1. Denim shorts with stilettos
Doesn’t matter how good your legs look, denim shorts with heels aren’t a classy look. Wearing a sneaker is preferred or some wedges if you must have height. 2. Mini skirt with platform pumps
Pumps can easily give you six inches of height, and wearing a mini skirt with it can lead to an ankle disaster (and you may flash someone) and you will look and feel dumb. 3. Leggings/sweatpants with any heels

4. Any kind of heels you can’t walk in
This seems so straight forward, but you will be surprised how many women make this mistake. Doesn’t matter how cute it is, if it’s too tight or too big, do not wear them. You want to avoid looking like a newborn deer. 5. Sandals with a pencil skirt
This isn’t heel related, but it’s a problem that must be addressed. Wearing a sandal or flip flop with a pencil skirt is probably worse than what has been mentioned above. It does not match. Flats or closed toe shoes are A-okay. Save the flip flops for the house or beach. 6. Socks with heels
Do we really need to explain...
If you look like your going to the gym your shoes should match. This look was trying to be a trend but... no, just no.
PURSE OR BACKPACK? to pair with your gown A lot of busy women are making the switch from their purse to a backpack. I know to some the image of themselves when they were in college pop up, but there are actually really cute, elegant backpacks that wont make you look like you’re going to class. Purses are cute, yes, but sometimes a purse just isn’t convenient for us women. A backpack is actually better for our backs for they distribute the weight evenly, unlike a purse, where it pushes down on our shoulders. And if you need snacks, if you work out, or have long days or nights, a backpack may make you life a little easier.

BUT A NUMBER! Celebrity Romances That Bridged The Age Gap By Riesa Pascal
Hugh Jackman and Deborra Lee-Furness

CELEBRITY SOUP
From the 12 years between Jay-Z and Beyoncé to the 17 years between
George and Amal Clooney, these adorable duos prove that age really is just a number. Keep reading to see which of your favorite celebrity couples have found their match in partners with an age gap of 10 years and more.
10+ YEARS Jay-Z and Beyoncé: 12 years
Beyoncé, 36, and Jay-Z, 48, started dating in 2001 and said “I do” seven years later on April 4, 2008. Their first child, Blue Ivy Carter, was born in 2012 and the couple welcomed twins, Rumi and Sir, five years later in June 2017.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Camila Morrone: 23 years
The 43-year-old Oscar winner has been dating model Camila Morrone since December 2017 after they met at an event in Florida. This month, Leonardo will finally be able to share a toast with his girlfriend as she will be celebrating her 21st birthday on June 16th.
25+ YEARS
Hugh Jackman and Deborra Lee-Furness: 13 years
Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones: 25 years
The 49-year-old X-Men star and his 62-year-old wife have been together for more than 20 years. They met on the 1995 set of the Australian show Correlli when Hugh was only 27 and Deborra was 40. They married the following year in 1996 and eventually adopted 2 children after struggling to conceive on their own.
Amazingly Catherine Zeta-Jones, 48, and Michael Douglas, 73, share the same birthday! The two were introduced at the Deauville Film Festival in 1998 and married two years later in November 2000. Though the couple briefly separated in 2013, they have since reunited and share two children together.
15+ YEARS
Dane Cook and Kelsi Taylor: 26 years
Amal and George Clooney: 17 years
George Clooney, 57, met international human-rights lawyer Amal, 40, in 2013 while attending a mutual friend’s dinner party. People’s “Sexiest Man Alive” broke hearts across the world when he and Amal tied the knot in Italy in 2014. The couple welcomed twins, Ella and Alexander, in June 2017. Olivier Sarkozy and Mary-Kate Olsen: 17 years
French banker Olivier Sarkozy, 49, and Full House star Mary-Kate Olsen, 31, were engaged in 2014 after dating for two years. The reclusive and private couple were married in a small ceremony in 2015 and have since remained hidden from the public eye.
20+ YEARS Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart: 22 years
Calista Flockhart, 53, met Harrison Ford, 75, in 2002 after spilling a drink on him at a Golden Globe Awards party. They married in 2010 and the father of four welcomed Calista’s adopted son Liam into his family with open arms.
Unlike Leonardo, 46-year-old comedian Dane Cook still has a couple years before he can grab a drink with his 19-year-old girlfriend. The couple have been dating since 2017 and even flew to Hawaii for a romantic vacation earlier this year.
30+ YEARS Emilie Livingston and Jeff Goldblum: 31 years
Jurassic Park’s Jeff Goldblum, 65, and gymnast Emilie Livingston, 35, were married in 2014 and have since had two sons together. Their youngest joined the family in April 2017 and recently celebrated his first birthday. Patrick Stewart and Sunny Ozell: 38 years

4 Tips to always be stylish! We all know that one person that always has their outfit on point, and we’re just like... how do they do it? Well, here are some essential tips so you too can be that person. 1) Follow Stylish People A lot of fashionistas follow other fashionistas on Insta or Pinterest to get ideas and to see what is trending; use this as inspo for your wardrobe. 2) (Over)dress For The Occasion It’s ALWAYS better to be overdressed than underdressed. You do not want to be the only one wearing shorts. 3) Rock a Colored Lipstick Even if your outfit isn’t its best, wearing lipstick automatically makes you look put together. 4)Accessorize Try to have at least one accessory on, whether it’s a statement necklace, a popcolor scarf or an great pair of earrings. And no need to go over board. Sometimes less is more!

THE “DESIGNER NIPPLE”
The newest plastic surgery trend women are getting
Move over boob job, the nips are taking over! I’m sure many of you have heard of the popular hashtag #freethenipple and it would make sense since many celebrities like Kendall Jenner, Rihanna, Bella Hadid and more have been rocking the braless trend and posting it all over Instagram. And now, it is catching on... Since then, many ladies have been meeting with plastic surgeons and going under the knife for a nipple enhancement. In this procedure women wish to change the shape, firmness, and color of their nipples so that they can have the “perfect nipple” or as some surgeons call them, “designer” nipples. Many women want to be able to have their nipples show through their shirt and some feel like they just don’t have the “right” nipples. Many women will bring in photos of celebs where their nipple isn’t showing but you can see the pointy-ness of them through a shirt. Some women claim that having them peep through makes them feel more feminine and sexy.
So if you’re looking for some permanent head lights here are some of the options. Ladies can get surgery were surgeons will usually use fillers to help patients get their dream nipples, and they last about two years. And if maybe if you wanted something less invasive you can get botox which only last about three to four months and none of these procedures takes longer than 30 minutes and can be performed on any type of nipple included inverted ones. However like all things in life, there are risks. Nipples are very sensitive, they are filled with nerve endings for sensation and milk ducts for breast feeding. And getting fillers injected may damage these structures. It is important that you talk to your doctor before undergoing any cosmetic surgery. If all of that freaks you out, not to worry, there is a much more affordable and less painful way to get the nipple of your dreams. You can buy pasties online that have already a “stiff nip” and you can get the “cold” or “freezing” option.

National Cataract Awareness Month! 5 Signs of Cataracts to look out for • CLOUDY DAYS The world will start to look blurry or cloudy and will worsen with time. •NO MORE LATE NIGHTS As cataracts become more advanced, they begin to darken with a yellow/brown hue. This affects night vision and makes nighttime activities, like driving, more difficult. •BRIGHT LIGHTS Being sensitive to bright lights is a common symptom of cataracts. The glare of bright lights can be painful. • DOUBLE TROUBLE Lens clouding in a cataract can lead you to see two or more images of a single object. • HALOS The clouding of the lens can result in diffraction of light entering your eye. This can cause a halo to appear around light sources, or rings around every light. If you have any of these symptoms, go see your eye doctor.

A BEER A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY? Health Benefits Of Drinking A Cold One! We have heard stories and read articles about how having a glass of red wine a couple days a week (or everyday) is good for most people because some red wine has the ability to improve cholesterol, fight free radical damage, help manage diabetes, etc., but what about beer? It may come as a surprise to some, but beer has quite a few health benefits that we should know about. Beer is an alcoholic beverage brewed from cereal grains which are responsible for its nutritional values. Hops (which is typically used to make IPA’s, Pale Ales and others) are the female flower of the hop plant, which gives some beer its tangy, bitter taste. The green buds are filled with chemicals known as bitter acids. Bitter acids are powerful inflammation fighters and helps both prevent and treating viral respiratory infections. Bitter acids may also improve digestion. Certain types of beer trigger the release of gastric acid from stomach cells which is key for both digesting food and controlling the growth of dangerous gut bacteria. Researchers found that the more bitter
acids a beer has, the greater the response. Beer is a great source of silicon, which is important for building and maintaining healthy bones. The mineral found in beer helps increase bone density, thereby preventing the risk of fractures and osteoporosis. Beer also helps polish your teeth. The bacteria that lives in our mouths and causes tooth decay and gum disease, research showed that beer helped block the activity of bad bacteria. It even beat out black tea, raspberry and all other plant extracts that were tested in this study. As you can see, having a beer has more benefit to our bodies than just having a good time. So kick back, grab a cold one and lose the guilt over your nightly ale! Please drink responsibly and always ask your doctor if you are able to drink alcohol.

INTERMITTENT FASTING FOR HEALTH? By Mary Martin Armstrong

If this is a frustration you are familiar with, you might be interested in intermittent fasting. This newly popularized method of weight loss is scientifically proven to help you lose weight without eliminating your favorite types of food. Intermittent fasting allows dieters to eat what they want, however, they must do this only during a specific time window. Intermittent fasting actually has several health benefits, as it results in the loss of visceral fat. Visceral fat is connected to the development of chronic diseases, and studies have shown that the reduction of this can assist with the prevention of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Many different types of intermittent fasting have been developed and tested, so it is easy to find one that adapts to you and your lifestyle. Some of the more popular forms are listed below. 16/8 Method: The 16/8 method, also referred to as leangains, is arguably the easiest 90

type of intermittent fasting to transition into. This method involves restricting your food consumption to eight hours a day and fasting for the remaining sixteen. Most people prefer to fast throughout the night and into the next morning. 5/2 Method: The 5/2 Method is the most popular and widely recognized form of intermittent fasting. This method was developed by Dr. Michael Mosley and requires dieters to fast for two nonconsecutive days a week. Women are allowed 500 calories during fasting days and men are allowed 600 calories. During these fasting days, your calorie intake should consist of meals that are high in fiber and protein in order to help you feel full. You should eat normal meals and consume a normal amount of calories on non-fasting days. The Every Other Day Diet: The Every Other Day Diet is one of the more challenging, as requires dieters to consume 500 calories a day, every other day of the week. Like the 5/2 method, normal meals with a normal calorie intake should be consumed during non-fasting days. Make sure to avoid binge
eating on these days to make up for the fasting days, as this is an easy pattern to fall into and can hinder weight loss. This method requires a large amount of discipline; however, it will also yield more dramatic results. 24 Hour Fast: This method involves fasting entirely for twenty four hours at a time, once or twice a week. It is important to recognize that unlike the other forms of intermittent fasting, no 500 or 600 calorie allowance is permitted. You should eat normal meals throughout the rest of the week. Like the Every Other Day Diet, this is one of the more difficult fasts to maintain and requires a great deal of self-control. Tip: Try drinking coffee or tea during fasting periods in order to combat hunger. Be sure to drink lots of water as well! Always check with your physician before starting a new diet.
