PUBLISHER’S NOTE
Dear Readers, Welcome to summer, Tampa! Another two months of warm, lazy days, breezy beach nights, and soaking up all that the Tampa Bay area has to offer during Florida’s favorite season. This season, our state joined the city of Orlando with bittersweet hearts, remembering all those who were affected by the Pulse terror attack. One year ago, we mourned the indescribable loss of 49 beautiful lives, and since then, it has been our mission as a state to make Central Florida a place known for its newfound hope and purpose. On June 12, we gathered together to commemorate those whose lives were lost and to celebrate the lives of the survivors, while praying for better days after such a life-changing event. Although we will never be the same as we move forward from this tragedy, we have the opportunity to create an atmosphere that will provide support to the LGBTQ community and safety from future terror attacks. As Americans, we believe that there is nothing more important than doing what is right for our country and its people, and we must raise awareness for the needs of our LGBTQ citizens and our people as a whole. From Orlando to Tampa, we stand in unity with our nation and remain positive that if we come together to support each other, we can lead by example and redefine our destiny as a state beaming with love and compassion. Now it’s time to jump into summer with warm hearts full of excitement for all that is to come. We at Tampa Style want this to be your best summer yet. We’re bringing you all the sizzling, mid-year trends and the not-to-be-missed local hot spots you’ll definitely want to experience. In this special Summer Double Issue we’ll be taking you on a sweet summer getaway to Hammock Beach Resort, Florida’s premier oceanfront destination.

First Fridays of May: Locals stopped in at Pippa Pelure Boutique to shop their latest styles and enjoy a glass of wine or champagne until 9PM and mingle with other guests. Located in St. Petersburg.

HAMMOCK BEACH RESORT
Endless experiences and luxurious living at the beachfront of the Atlantic Ocean With a name like “Hammock Beach Resort,” I expected nothing short of ultimate relaxation and carefree comfort during my stay at Salamander Hotels’ luxurious property. After three days overlooking two miles of Atlantic beach on Florida’s Palm Coast, it’s safe to say that the property lived up to both its name and its reputation. An extraordinary treasure, Hammock Beach Resort sits nestled on a stretch of unspoiled beach and welcomes guests of all ages to its haven through exceptional customer service and world-class amenities. Unlike standard hotels, their multi-bedroom villas and suites allow guests to experience resort living while still enjoying the comforts of home, which I wasted no time in doing.
By Cathleen K. Bode
When it came to dining options, I was incredibly impressed by the vast variety of resort restaurants and bars situated throughout Hammock Beach Resort. From enjoying breakfast on the patio at Delfinos to chatting with my companions over lunch on the patio of The Terrace, stunning views and refreshing ocean air drew us to eat outside, though both indoor and outdoor dining options are available. The Terrace featured an approachable menu with everything from local seafood and prime cuts of beef to farm fresh offerings and an extensive by-the-glass wine list. In addition to enjoying breakfast at Delfinos, we also returned to the establishment at night to enjoy the warmth of a premier, yet homemade Italian dinner. The menu highlighted regional Italian cuisine with a contemporary twist, such as my appetizer of charred octopus and market salad with passion fruit vinaigrette. Our primi course came in the form of short rib ragu with pappardelle pasta and roasted tomatoes before being followed by a secondo course of grouper topped with early spring vegetables, grilled scallions and kimchi dashi broth. My sweet tooth delighted in our dessert of deconstructed s’mores, which brought the exceptional meal to a close, but the
night wasn’t over just yet. With the resort’s Lobby Bar and Loggerheads Lounge open for after-dinner drinks, my companions and I had the freedom to enjoy cocktails, billiards and sports games on a 16-foot TV screen in a relaxing, comfortable setting. From beachside dining to beach-inspired pampering, the Spa at Hammock Beach offered serenity and luxury with the very best massages, treatments and nail services. With the option to treat your body to a relaxing massage, refresh your skin with a facial or pamper your hands and feet with rejuvenating treatments, you are sure to find a treatment tailored just for you. After much consideration, I opted for the 50 minute Hammock Facial. The signature facial was developed by estheticians based on the spa’s namesake massage, The Hammock Massage. The relaxing facial featured a blending elements of European, aromatherapy and hot stone facials to create a unique experience that was a delight for all my senses and put that healthy glow back into my face. From Thalassotherapy products rich with minerals from the sea to coquina-laden scrubs, the spa draws from the bountiful resources of the sea and unspoiled beach, which has resulted in an award-winning facility of seaside inspired services in 11 exquisitely appointed treatment rooms. Perhaps Hammock Beach Resort is best known for offering tremendous views and a challenging test for golfers at every skill level through their two championship golf courses. Hammock Beach’s Ocean Course, a Jack Nicklaus Signature Design, features beautiful lakes, elevated mounds, and bunkers, which are made of native coquina sand. The 7,201 yard, par 72 course is known for its six Atlantic Ocean-hugging holes and an exhilarating finale know as “The Bear Claw.” It is also the only true oceanfront golf course in the state of Florida. Unfortunately, the Ocean Course has been closed since October when it was heavily damaged by Hurricane Matthew. Fortunately for the TAMPASTYLEMAGAZINE.COM |

TRAVEL ‘N STYLE
many fans of the Ocean Course, the resort has taken a long-term view regarding conditioning and opted to conduct a complete course restoration. The extensive restoration work, which is being undertaken in conjunction with Nicklaus Design, includes re-grassing all fairways, greens and rough with the salt-tolerant Platinum Paspalum as well as reconstructing each tee box, bunker and green complex. The course is scheduled to reopen in October 2017. In the meantime, Hammock Beach’s Conservatory Course, a Tom Watson Signature Design is Florida’s longest and is truly a masterpiece. It continues to accommodate guest and member play. It was there where my companions and I experienced a relaxing golf lesson with Director of Golf, Brad Hauer. Less than an hour away from the blissful relaxation of Hammock Beach Resort is the sun, fun, history and mystery of St. Augustine. For an entire day, my companions and I explored the cobblestone streets of the nation’s oldest city and enjoyed a tour of experiences showcasing the heart of historic St. Augustine. Our first stop was Lightner Museum, home to one of the country’s best collections of fine and decorative 19th century art. From typewriters and Tiffany glass to shrunken heads and human hair art, Otto Lightner’s eclectic collection was both impressive and extensive. From there, we got our hearts pumping with a historic walking tour along the bayfront to Castillo de San Marcos, the oldest masonry fort in the continental United States. The large Spanish stone fortress is now a national monument and, at over 315 years old, it’s the oldest structure in St. Augustine. From the numerous rooms that once housed soldiers and prisoners to the large interior courtyard and gun deck, which offers a great view of the city, there was plenty to explore at the Castillo and when hunger struck, there was no shortage of exquisite dining options nearby. We were delighted to end up at Michael’s Tasting Room. The casual, yet finedining restaurant was located in historic downtown and specialized in fresh seasonal cuisine with a Spanish flare. As darkness began to fall, we then boarded “The Trolley of the Doomed” to explore the darker side of the nation’s oldest city. The Ghosts and Gravestones Ghost Tour brought our beautiful day to a close with haunted tales and spooky legends at every corner. On our final evening at the resort, my companions and I gathered at the fire pit on the Ocean Event Lawn for after-dinner cocktails and stargazing. It was a beautiful end to an even more beautiful and memorable weekend. With no shortage of things to see and do both within and beyond the Hammock Beach property, you are sure to delight in your own adventure upon visiting. Enjoy drinks, sports and a fresh sushi menu at the Lobby Bar. Go on a “Behind the Seas Tour” and experience dolphins up close and personal at the world’s first oceanarium, Marineland Dolphin Adventure, which is an adventure you’ll not soon forget! Grab your kayak and enjoy a day of paddling fun with Tropical Kayaks guided tours through the Intracoastal Waterway and nearby wetlands. Feel the wind in your hair as you cruise the waterway in search of dolphins frolicking about. Enjoy Hammock Beach Resort in “fun” style and explore the area courtesy of complimentary bicycle rentals. Hone in your putting game as you enjoy a complimentary nine-hole, professionally manicured putting course that offers a fun challenge for professionals and novices alike. Experience water park adventures as you float down the lazy river, zip down a water flume and watch the kids build a poolside sandcastle at the resort’s 91,000 square-foot water pavilion. Whether it’s a return trip or your first visit, come on out with your family and friends and enjoy a relaxing, and exciting getaway!

LOSE YOURSELF IN THE WONDER OF BG OCALA RANCH
Tosca Reno
Tosca Reno’s Clean Living Experience with Retreats Unlimited By Courtney Caggiano
Sometimes we can’t find the answers we seek if we continue to seek them in the voices of others. Sometimes we can’t hear them until we enter into the silence, and allow the voice within to reveal the answers we’ve had all along. This is the purpose behind Retreats Unlimited’s Clean Living Experience with Tosca Reno, a lifestyle expert and writer-at-heart who believes that our mental and spiritual health begins with finding the courage to step outside of the current of chaos and trust the voice within ourselves—all while learning to hear that voice through a meditative life. As a New York Times best-selling author, certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, fitness model and motivational speaker, Tosca has shared her lessons of life change and powerful inspiration with people all over the world, including high-profile celebrities and audiences of Good Morning America. Beneath her accomplishments, Tosca is a woman who has mastered the art of overcoming and has found strength of soul, a strength she believes is possible for anyone in any walk of life to reach.

Now, you have the opportunity to join Tosca on a life-changing journey to detox your body, mind and soul as you ground yourself in the stillness of nature at BG Ocala Ranch. Only an hour outside of Orlando and less than an hour and a half from Tampa lies a hidden escape nestled in the rolling hills of Ocala that invites you to part ways with busyness and simply be at rest. BG Ranch is what may easily become the most sought-after luxury estate in Florida, with sprawling pastures and endless green outlined with a canopy of oak trees that lead to the 10,000-square-foot, eight-bedroom Great House.
Complete with an elegant equestrian experience, BG Ranch creates a lush setting to rejuvenate the senses as you enjoy the finest nature Florida has to offer and the most sophisticated lodgings in town. Combine this with Tosca’s wellness retreat, and you’ll never want to leave this Ocala haven. Upon entering the Great House of the ranch, Tosca greets her guests with warm embraces, eager to encourage them into their clean living journey, on which they will learn the benefits of eating natural, raw and unprocessed foods. For the next four days, they are within reach of their return to a lifestyle rooted in equilibrium
with nature. The focus of Tosca’s retreat is not just to instruct women about how to live and eat holistically, but also to reach women where they are, teach them to understand their inner strength and help them discover personalized pathways of healing. Each morning begins with a brisk walk through the dew-covered hills of the property, along with a half-hour to an hour of sunrise meditation. For those who have never learned the valuable treasures found in a short time of meditation, this activity may seem as simple as taking a relaxing break from a busy day, but Tosca’s revolutionary insight into the practical effects of

meditating completely change one’s mind and body for the better. Meditation provides the foundation for the retreat, as letting go of yourself and making room for vulnerability is the key to a relaxed, purpose-driven lifestyle. Health does not begin with the body; it begins with the mind and soul. Tosca teaches that when we meditate, we transition the mind outside of the limitations, fears, and inhibitions of ourselves and into connection with our true selves, which allows us to tap into our unlimited potential. According to Tosca, when we understand our worth through this potential, we find a desire to take care of our spirits, our bodies, and our future. This is where clean eating and exercise take hold of our lives in an effortless way. After meditation, Tosca guides her guests through a fulfilling day of power-packed exercises, healthy meals and innovative teaching sessions, in which Tosca explains knowledgeable ways to incorporate clean eating and wellness into everyday life. These sessions can be as important as a lesson on the advantages of drinking apple cider vinegar on a daily basis and as exciting as cooking classes demonstrating how to prepare your own clean meal.

| TAMPASTYLEMAGAZINE.COM
Every breakfast, lunch and dinner on the retreat is made fresh by a culinary expert, using the most natural and organic ingredients available. Dishes like mushroom bolognese with tomato sauce and peppery arugula salad with grilled chicken and pomegranate seeds will entice you to toss your bad eating habits down the kitchen sink. One of the most enlightening parts of the dinner is listening to Tosca discuss the characteristics of the food. Just by spending a meal with her, it’s impossible to leave the table without learning why Himalayan salt is more beneficial than table salt, how to make probiotic-rich “yogurt cheese” in your own kitchen or how to cook glutenfree pasta without having it crumble to pieces. Of course, desserts are still on the menu! Guilt-free decadence in the form of chocolate flourless cake and other treats inspired from Tosca’s own cookbook of clean recipes make the thought of organic eating more delightful than ever before. I was blessed to be a part of Tosca’s wellness retreat, and as a participant I was lucky enough to get a seat at her table during each meal. Although every dinner never failed to amaze my appetite, my favorite course came after the final plate was taken away, when Tosca would ask us a simple question: “What was your triumph today?”
Tosca explains that triumphs are the moments in our day when we conquer personal goals, no matter how small. Some said trying a new workout; others’ triumphs were as simple as being bold enough to take some down time for themselves. My triumph of the day was riding a horse fast enough to secure a steady gallop, and holding onto that gallop as I let go of the saddle, the fear of falling and the uncertainty of tomorrow, and rode to freedom in the presence of only God and the horse beneath me. That’s what Tosca does. She gets you out of yourself. She shows you that all those fears right outside of your heart’s window are actually great opportunities of endless possibilities to be taken confidently before they’re gone. That’s the triumph. Tosca may seem like a heaven-sent heroine of healthy living, but the beginnings of her story show a more insecure woman yearning for a second chance. “The journey for me started about 17 years ago. I was at the time obese and unwell, I weighed over 200 pounds, and I was beginning to experience heart palpitations— my father died early as a result of heart disease—and I was depressed,” she remembers. “One day, I couldn’t walk up the stairs of my own house or take care of my kids, and I just didn’t want to do it anymore.”
TRAVEL ‘N STYLE
If you’re looking for adventure or perhaps a bit of relaxation, horseback riding is just a short walk from the Great House, and the trails take you through the valleys and woods of the aweinspiring horse capital of North America.
At that moment, Tosca knew it was time to make a change. “As it happens so often, ‘when the student is ready, the teacher will come,’ is the saying. I was ready to start working out because I felt that was the way to start getting well. I wanted to lose weight, and I didn’t understand that there were other components to wellness until I met Robert Kennedy and he challenged me to enter a bodybuilding contest, which I did at age 42, and through that preparation I learned how to eat clean, and I healed myself. All the illnesses that I had were gone, I lost a lot of weight; in fact, I looked better than I ever did. I looked younger and felt amazing. I also found my purpose, which was writing and wellness, and that led to having a regular column in Oxygen Magazine, building a following, writing books and the eat clean revolution.” This triumphant lifestyle is what motivates Tosca to encourage others into pursuing the life that is best suited for them, body and soul. The Retreats Unlimited wellness retreat is a chance to begin this pursuit for yourself.
BG Ranch is the perfect location to reserve for your next in-state getaway or event.

Featured across social media as the trending vacation recreation, stand up paddleboarding (S.U.P.) is surprisingly accessible. A trip to Bora Bora is not required for this meditative day trip. Sparkling clear waters and nature-filled coastlines are readily available in Tampa. A range of environments for paddleboarders of varying skill levels and interests are relatively abundant. Unlike many areas of the state, Tampa hosts both inland and coastal paddleboarding hot spots. It is also home to the Florida Boarder Company, an especially helpful hand for novice boarders. Working from the Hillsborough River, the business holds skill classes, offers group tours, and keeps a reference list of areas that allow boarding. Similar to a cross between surf boarding and kayaking, S.U.P. offers the best of both activities. It requires an obtainable skill set that utilizes more of the body than kayaking but less strength than surfing. However, be warned, seeing someone paddleboard makes it appear less challenging than it actually is. It is very beneficial for balance and endurance. Holding stance for a long period of time and constantly contracting at the core is draining. Keeping the work in mind, do not let the learning process deter any interests of paddleboarding. Out on the open water or gliding down a shaded river, it is worth every ache. Paddleboarding allows a better view of scenery than sitting at the water’s height, especially when viewing wildlife. More than one style of board is available to cater to speeds and other activities. Long and skinny boards allow greater speeds whereas wide and thick boards help with stability. Keeping still offers an array of other activities, such as fishing, yoga and meditation. Being a single rider also means more independence than boating or canoeing.
For any activity, Tampa has a body water, although some areas may require more skill than others. Weeki Wachee Springs is a tranquil water, perfect for beginners and anyone looking to hone in on new skills. It is also ideal for an easy glide downstream. Lettuce Lake park is a natural floodplain with similar waters but does not provide rentals. It has less traffic for this reason and may be better for paddleboarders with personal equipment. Boarders interested in a group tour or lessons may prefer the Tampa Bay Preserve. This option can be scheduled online and all equipment is included. It is a great option for a taste of paddleboarding before purchasing your own equipment, as well as a family or group outing. Professional or more experienced paddleboarders are likely to prefer secluded areas to explore or to avoid working around beginners. Davis Island’s calm waters allow one of the best scenic views and a chance to see wildlife. Tours are also available but the large area allows boarders to keep their distance. Whether it is to view nature or enjoy a relaxing day away from the standard beach crowd, paddleboarding offers something for all ages. Check local rivers, springs and beaches for allowance and equipment availability when planning a trip.

the sun beams down on us hard. It is very important to protect your skin! But be aware of what you are putting on your skin because ingredients matter, and in the store, seeing all the different options, who knows what to buy? What’s the difference between SPF 70 and SPF 100? Next time you’re searching for sunscreen, here are some things to look for and some things to steer away from. WHAT TO LOOK FOR: • Choose SPFs between 15 and 50 ( after 50 its all the same). • Broad-spectrum coverage - Protects against both types of rays: UVB and UVA. • Water-resistant. It must specify whether it protects the skin for 40 or 80 minutes of swimming and/or sweating. • Sunscreen that uses mineral and/or organic components.
WHAT TO AVOID: • Sunscreens with vitamin A - Good for eating, but not for the skin. • Oxybenzone - It is synthetic estrogen that can penetrate the skin and disrupt your hormone system. • Avoid any skin and/or lip products with ingredients including octinoxate, homosalate or paraben preservatives. • Sunscreens with insect repellent - If you need repellent, buy it separately and put it on first. Keep these tips in mind on your next trip to the beach, and you and your skin will be covered!

with their fabrics! One of the biggest fashion mistakes you’ll ever make is losing yourself in the heap of the latest trends. Don’t forget about the one person you’re buying these clothes for: Yourself. Be true to who you are. Supply yourself with what speaks to you the most in designer collections. Take the time to find out what looks good on you. Have you always been a fan of slim fit jeans? Perhaps a more tailored suit would look better. Make sure you’re looking for the perfect style for the perfect you, and never settle for anything less.
IF IT FITS,
buy it in every color.
If there is one fashion tip we could possibly give you, it’s this: literally buy the same shoes, tops, pants, coats, even an accessory, in different colors. That really sexy top you came across in Hugo Boss? Buy two more in different colors! Different colored clothes gives you more options of what to wear throughout your week. If that sexy shirt your wife/husband thinks looks absolutely stunning on you, consider this option. There have been countless instances where your cutest T-shirt is about to go into the laundry basket (we’ve all been there), and if you followed this helpful fashion
tip, you would be able to evade this particular scenario by simply putting on a different colored T-shirt that’s exactly the same as your dirty T-shirt. As we have mentioned before, this can apply to any type of clothing; whether you have different colored pants or different colored shoes, just swap them out with similar options in various colors.

Gentlemen, we love wearing hats. Let’s face it, we can’t evade putting on the simple snap-back or even a beanie on a bad hair day. But the problem with hats is that they don’t give our hair a chance to breathe and have some fresh air. That increases the chances of hair loss, and unless it is by choice, no young man with good hair wants to be bald at 30. Now, we’re not saying to avoid hats at all costs (After all, hats are very stylish these days). We recommend you wear them on the right occasions, and not on an every day basis. For maintaining your hair health, a good wash with beneficial shampoo and conditioner will do the trick. But one thing is for certain: when you get out of that shower, dry your hair (pat-drying is definitely preferred). When we say pat-drying, we literally mean to take the towel and pat your hair dry. Dragging the towel on your head only causes your hair to bunch up and frizz out. Damp hair is
prone to damage, and drying your hair incorrectly is one of the leading causes of damaged hair. Hair begins at the base of your head, the scalp. Your hair is essentially protein and an extension of your scalp, and both should be treated with care. Wash your scalp daily to minimize those clogged pores and clear out those skin flakes because nobody likes a dirty head. As mentioned before, you should use good shampoo for roughly two minutes. Be sure to also take advantage of exfoliating once or twice a week. Washing your hair in hot water or excessively using a blow dryer to your hair can cause dryness of the scalp. Should scalp dryness occur, always be sure to replenish moisture by using a hydrating conditioner to eliminate dryness at the source. With these helpful tips, be sure to use them to your advantage to better yourself so that in the future you can land that awesome interview or fulfill that perfect first date.

Viral Fame The Stars Who Owe It All To The Internet

CELEBRITY SOUP
From Damn Daniel and Chewbacca Mom to Antoine Dodson’s ‘Bed Intruder’ rant, these days it feels like a new viral celebrity is born every second! Internet stardom comes in the blink of an eye, and there’s no telling when a completely random video will suddenly go viral and amass millions of views. Sometimes these celebs desire the fame and embrace the experience, and other times, they don’t. Either way, they’re irrevocably tossed into the spotlight and forced to survive the intense and sudden scrutiny of the world wide web. Here are several stars who turned their viral fame into a living and found themselves with brand new careers!
MICHELLE PHAN When it comes to making a fortune out of viral fame, who else to start with then arguably one of Youtube’s most successful stars? 30-year-old Michelle Phan was one of the earliest YouTube adopters to share beauty tutorials on her channel. When a couple of her videos were picked up by BuzzFeed, she got her first taste of viral fame and it was all uphill from there. Over the past ten years, Michelle has uploaded hundreds of DIY videos and amassed nearly 9 million subscribers and one billion video views. In addition to working with Lancome, L’Oreal, and releasing her own line of cosmetics, Michelle has also built a $500 million subscription beauty sampling company and achieved a personal net worth of an impressive $3 million. JEREMY MEEKS From attractive felon to high-end fashion model, Jeremy Meeks is a rare example of when a life of crime DOES pay! In June 2014, Jeremy Meeks was dubbed the “hottest felon” in the world after his police mugshot went viral. After serving his time in prison, Jeremy was released in 2016 and left his life of crime behind to pursue one of the many modeling offers he received as an inmate. The 33-year-old—who has also been nicknamed The Blue Eyed Bandit and Jail Bae—has since modelled at New York Fashion Week and now drives to and from his luxury mansion in a beautiful Maserati. He has over one million Instagram followers and 500K Facebook likes, but unfortunately the fame and money isn’t enough to entirely bury his criminal past. Due to his status as an ex-con, Jeremy was recently deported from the UK less than eight hours after landing at Heathrow Airport to take part in a fashion photo shoot. LAINA MORRIS You may have never heard of Laina Morris, but if you’re familiar with internet memes, you’ve definitely seen her picture before. Several years ago, Laina filmed a spoof entry to a Justin Bieber contest that featured her singing her own creepy lyrics to the tune “Girlfriend” with a crazy, wide-eyed stare. Though Laina didn’t win the contest, someone uploaded a screenshot of her submission to the social-sharing site Reddit, and within hours the picture had gone viral. The following morning, it had become the meme known as Overly Attached Girlfriend and Laina wasted no time cashing in on her viral fame. While she’s not a millionaire yet, she’s since been able to drop out of school and quit her job to become a full-time YouTuber. She has even invested in professional management for her comedy channel that now has a following of 1.2 million subscribers. From entering a silly fan contest to forging a successful YouTube career, Laina’s overnight meme status quite literally changed her life. DANIELLE BREGOLI Of course this article wouldn’t be complete without mentioning the biggest viral celebrity of the year, Danielle Bregoli! If you’ve never heard the saying, “Cash Me Ousside How Bow Dah,” consider yourself lucky. It is the infamous and now trademarked catchphrase that Danielle hollered on Dr. Phil in September 2016, while trying to challenge the audience to a fight. The unruly 13-year old was brought on the talk show by her fed-up mother, but Danielle’s foul-mouth and “off the streets” accent quickly stole the show and made her an instant viral celebrity. With over ten million Instagram followers and nearly two million Facebook likes, it’s not surprising that Danielle has since signed a reality show deal and is preparing a nationwide tour, where she expects to make at least $50K a stop. Sources watching her net worth estimate Danielle will be a millionaire by the end of 2017…how bow dah?! STYLETOME.COM |

SHAWN MENDES LIVE IN ORLANDO If you don’t know who Shawn Mendes is, you’re only one of a few. The young guitar-slinging singer has taken over the Top 40—and has captured the hearts of the most adoring female fans along the way. In anticipation of his second album, Illuminate, Shawn Mendes is headlining his first world tour with special guest Charlie Puth, heating up the Florida summer with some of the hottest tracks of 2017. A night at the Amway Center is certainly a long way from Mendes’ Canadian roots; born in Toronto, the teen heartthrob probably did not set his sights on international fame when he posted his first videos of himself singing on Vine. With 22.3 million followers on Instagram and nearly 6.4 million Facebook fans, Mendes has swooned music lovers young and old in only a short few years in the spotlight. Shawn Mendes is currently one of America’s favorite pop stars, and for those who are not loyal fans of the 18-year-old singer, it may be surprising to hear that he built an impressive base of social media followers on his own.

after teaching himself to play guitar by studying YouTube tutorial videos around age 13, he began recording videos of cover songs online, gaining millions of views and followers in a matter of months. Mendes became so well known for his unique renditions of hit singles that he caught the ear of artist manager Andrew Gertler, who discovered him in 2013. By 2014, Mendes was the third mostfollowed musician on Vine, and was signed to Island Records where he would release his first single, “Life of the Party.” The track made Mendes the youngest artist to debut in the top 25 on the US Billboard Hot 100 Chart. Handwritten, Mendes’ first fulllength album, allowed the young singer to garner a winder range of fans that stretched far beyond his social media outlets. Although the album was successful—selling 106,00 copies in its first week—it was the first single from his sophomore album, “Treat You Better,” that separated Mendes from the other up-and-coming online stars in the making. Unlike his pop music contemporaries, Mendes opted for a softer,
classic rock-inspired sound to create timeless songs that would stand out from the sea of synthesized tracks flooding radio at the time. This new direction of sonic innovation, characterized in his fan favorite, “Mercy,” allowed Mendes to adapt beyond the identity of a teenage pop star; he was now able to grow into an artist blooming with mature musicianship and taste. His latest single, “There’s Nothing Holding Me Back,” shows a different side of the songwriter, offering a minimalistic palette of sound that highlights the strength of Mendes’ wild and raspy voice. Fans all over the world are counting down the days until the September release of his next album, but you have the chance to hear songs from Illuminate live at the Amway Center. Make sure to get your tickets to this on-trend concert event that will certainly be a summer night you wont want to miss.

“The Performante features Forged Composite in structural components including front and rear spoiler, the engine bonnet, rear bumper and aerodynamic diffuser, contributing to the car’s weight reduction of 40 kg.”
“The Huracán Performante is the convergence of technological developments to produce a car delivering perfect performance,” says Automobili Lamborghini Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Stefano Domenicali. “This new car represents the powerhouse of Lamborghini DNA and innovation, and a 360 degree approach to creating class-leading super sports cars. It illustrates the pinnacle of Lamborghini V10 production car performance to date, on both track and road, and is perfectly exemplified by its name: Lamborghini Huracán Performante.” Lightweight Engineering Based on a hybrid aluminum and carbon fiber frame, the Huracán Performante’s body is produced from aluminum in conjunction with significant use throughout of Lamborghini’s award-winning Forged Composite. Using chopped carbon fibers in a resin, Forged Composite allows the creation of lightweight, complex geometrical shapes beyond that possible with traditional carbon fiber composite materials, while maintaining optimum stiffness. The Performante features Forged Composite in structural components including front and rear spoiler, the engine bonnet, rear bumper and aerodynamic diffuser, contributing to the car’s weight reduction of 40 kg. Active Aerodynamics Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva (ALA) The Huracán Performante adopts Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva (ALA): ALA is also the Italian word for wing. This patented active aerodynamic system developed by Lamborghini for the Huracán Performante provides an active variation of
aero load for high down force or low drag. The system is completely integrated into the vehicle in terms of design, weight and performance. The front spoiler integrates the electric motor of the front ALA system, built in a carbon forged frame with active flaps on the top exterior surface. The rear bonnet is designed around the air ducts to the rear wing as well as the wing pylons. Lamborghini’s Piattaforma Inerziale (LPI) governs all the car’s electronic systems in ‘real time’ and is perfectly integrated with the ALA system, activating the ALA system flaps in less than 500 milliseconds to ensure the best aerodynamic set-up of the car in every driving condition. When ALA is off, the active flaps inside the front spoiler are closed, generating the desired high downforce for high speed cornering and full brake conditions. When ALA switches to on the front flaps are opened by the front electric motor, reducing air pressure on the front spoiler and directing air flow via an inner channel and through the specially shaped underside of the car. This drastically reduces drag and optimizes conditions for maximum acceleration and top speed. In the rear of the Performante four ducts are installed below the rear bonnet. The two central ducts are always open to allow underhood ventilation and exhaust cooling, while the two external ducts are connected to the inner channels of the rear wing. The air flow through the rear wing channels is controlled by two electro-actuated flaps. The entire system is 80% lighter than a traditional hydraulic system.
in high speed cornering and full braking by creating maximum vertical downforce; 750% more than a Huracán coupé. The LPI turns on the ALA in high throttle conditions, opening the rear flaps to allow air through the rear wing’s inner channels and directing air flow through ridges underneath the wing. This reduces drag and maximizes the car’s acceleration and top speed capabilities. In addition, the rear wing’s inner air channel is split right and left, allowing aero vectoring for high speed cornering. Depending on the direction of the turn, the LPI instructs ALA to be switched on in either the right or left side of the spoiler, increasing downforce and traction on the inner wheel, counteracting the load transfer in rolling conditions. This in turn optimizes the chassis’ momentum, requiring a reduced steering angle and improving the car’s overall dynamic stability. Price of the Lamborghini Huracán Performante and Market Delivery The first customers will take delivery of the new Lamborghini Huracán Performante this summer at suggested retail price of $274,390 (suggested retail price taxes/GST excluded). Engine: 5.2 liter V10 HP: 640 hp 0-62 mph: 2.9 seconds Top Speed: 202 mph
When ALA is off the rear flaps are closed, permitting the rear wing to act as a traditional fixed wing. Stability is enhanced

SUPPLEMENTAL TRAVEL INSURANCE: IS IT WORTH IT? By Mark NeJame Contributor Vanessa Louise Braeley
Summer is officially here: the kids are out
of school, Florida’s sun is unrelenting and the I4 corridor is crammed with tourists at all hours of the day. For us Floridians, escaping the crowds and heat with a summer sojourn is essential. And as we plan our vacations, we each implement our own methods of preparing for travel… packing cubes? Check luggage or carry on? Should I purchase travel insurance? The last question is asked each time you book your ticket – and if I may assume the usual answer is to decline such insurance – but there are many plans out there that cover more than your flight and luggage loss. And on a recent trip to Italy, my travel buddy happened to purchase a comprehensive travel insurance plan for a whopping $38.00. “Do you want one?” she asked. I pushed it aside, relying on the comfort of my credit card-issued travel insurance and declined.

And then it happened. We got into a little, um, fender-bender. We were okay; the car, however, was not. And as luck should have it, I was the primary driver (definitely not my fault!) and the car was rented with my credit card. For those who don’t know, rental car companies in Europe are not sympathetic (I learned this the hard way years ago, hence my concern). So prior to calling the rental car company, I began my investigation. Was the damage to the car covered? What if I was hurt, would my medical costs be covered? Here are a few things I learned: 1. Look at your primary medical insurance policy for coverage first. If you are hurt or injured and need medical assistance, the first policy that will be examined for coverage is your primary medical insurance. If your primary policy does not cover you overseas, then “supplemental policies” will kick in.
2. Travel insurance offered by your credit cards is considered supplemental to your primary health and auto insurance. Most credit cards offer some level of coverage for auto accidents, lost luggage and medical emergencies. The trick is, in order for the credit card insurance policies to kick in, you generally have to book your travel reservations, hotels, flights and cars with that particular credit card. Then, if it’s determined your primary policies do not cover, the credit card insurance will kick in. 3. Don’t forget to decline the additional coverage offered by rental agencies and airlines! Here is where it gets tricky. Most credit card companies require, as a condition precedent to utilizing the travel insurance offered in your membership agreement, that you DECLINE all additional coverage options offered by the airlines and rental car agencies. So when Hertz asks if you want insurance for
IN THE KNOW
an extra $18.00 a day – NO. This may seem contrary to logic, but in most cases you will end up in a worse position if you elect to take the additional coverage. 4. Third party comprehensive travel insurance policies are also considered supplemental policies. They “fill the gaps” left by your primary insurance policies, similar to the credit card policies. Often times, these travel policies are far more comprehensive than primary and credit card policies and allow for the policyholder to choose various levels of coverage in areas such as medical, lost luggage, flight cancellation and even unorthodox situations like losses due to terrorist-related events. 5. Watch for exclusions! Truly, prior to this incident I thought American Express was the
gold standard. Wrong. While I love my Amex for many reasons, their rental car insurance policy was riddled with exclusions, such as covering rental cars in Italy (what are the chances); cars with a FMV over $50,000.00; SUVs; many “exotic” models (which were not so exotic); cars driven on dirt roads; etc. This was much to my dismay; Amex has gotten me out of many overseas travel jams before. Chase Sapphire Reserve ended up providing better insurance than I have at home through my primary policies – highly recommend this card for travel. So what’s the takeaway? Every situation will be different, however it’s best that you understand your primary policies, how they operate overseas in various situations (you will have to review both your medical and auto policies). Once you understand the coverage
provided, you will see where the “gaps” are – this is where your supplemental insurance will kick in. Read through your credit card policies PRIOR to making your reservations and flight purchases; your credit card’s insurance policy may be the deciding factor in what card you use for your trip. And lastly, third party supplemental travel insurance isn’t totally redundant, particularly when it comes to medical insurance. Just make sure that your election to participate in one supplemental policy doesn’t negate your ability to utilize the one you may really need.

SPOTLIGHT ON THE LAW Special Promotional Feature
WHAT FEDERAL JURORS SHOULD KNOW BUT AREN’T TOLD Service as a juror ensures that personal liberty is protected from government abuse. By returning a verdict of not guilty in a criminal case, jurors effectively veto police and prosecutors’ actions that wrongfully seek to punish a citizen. The right to have 12 jurors stand between the government and the citizen facing the loss of liberty was guaranteed by the Founding Fathers in the 6th Amendment of the Constitution.
By Mark L. Horwitz Criminal Defense Attorney Law Offices of Mark L. Horwitz, P.A. 17 East Pine St.Orlando, FL 32801 P: 407-843-7733 • F: 407-849-1321 mark@mlhorwitzlaw.com www.mlhorwitzlaw.com
Today’s jurors are not told about the factors that Federal Judges consider when sentencing a defendant. Jurors are also not told of minimum mandatory sentences which require the court to impose imprisonment for two years to life, depending on the crime. Likewise, jurors are not told of the maximum sentence for each charge. Prison terms for 10, 15, or 20 years and longer are common in federal court. The jury is told by the Judge that they are not to consider the punishment when reaching their verdict, yet punishment is a realistic concern to the jurors and society. Jurors are not told that in the early days of this republic, juries routinely returned not guilty verdicts because the punishment was too harsh or the law was improperly applied against the defendant. Many people believe that early parole reduces sentences. Jurors are not told that parole no longer exists in the Federal system and that the defendants will serve 85% of the sentence even with exemplary behavior in prison. Juries do not know that in determining a sentence, the court will consider crimes on which the jury returned not guilty verdicts. For example, if the jury finds the defendant not guilty on four counts of mail fraud and guilty of one count, the sentence can vary from 0 to 20 years in prison. The court will consider the counts on which the defendant was found not guilty as if the defendant was found guilty on the charges. In many cases this will result in a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison rather than probation or a short term of incarceration.

| STYLETOME.COM
Juries are also not informed that if the defendant is found guilty of one count, the court, in sentencing, may consider conduct for which the defendant was not even charged and tried. The uncharged acts are never considered by the jury but can significantly increase the sentence. Jurors are also told that they must accept the law given by the court. In the past, many juries returned not guilty verdicts because laws were unfair or applied to the defendant unfairly. One of the most famous examples of this was the prosecution of William Penn in England before he came to America and founded Pennsylvania. Penn was on trial for disturbing the piece for preaching his religion at an unlawful assembly. The court instructed the jury on the law and when the jury returned a verdict of not guilty the court refused to accept it. The judge told the jury to return a verdict of guilty. William Penn told the jury not to give in to the Judge. One of the jurors yelled “Nor will we ever do it” (return a guilty verdict). The jurors were kept in detention for four days and deprived of food; but finally, the Judge accepted the not guilty verdict. The Judge then imposed criminal fines on the jurors for returning the not guilty verdict. The jurors were put in jail until the fines were paid. Four jurors filed a suit to be released from jail. The result of that case was that no juror would again be prosecuted for returning a verdict that the court did not like. In order for jurors to fulfill their constitutional role, many believe they should be told of the potential sentence and that juries have historically returned not guilty verdicts when they believed the law was not proper or was applied unfairly. Today, the court instructs the jury that they must accept the law. The jury’s power to veto government prosecutions with a not guilty verdict is an important cornerstone of our constitutional protections.

2017 SPECIAL PROMOTIONAL FEATURE In prefacing this introduction, we’d like to offer an observation, which should be of interest to all. Regardless of medical school class rankings, graduates are all referred to as “DOCTOR.” With this revelation, we should all know that when choosing a physician, one must accept responsibility for adequately researching the doctor he or she is considering. Within our present day society, most licensed to practice medicine are truly miracle workers whether they are completely restructuring someone’s face or saving a life. As much as we realize that every physician is an asset to our community, we also know that some have established themselves at the top of their profession and are considered special; these are the ‘elite,’ the very best of the best. When seeking perfection, we search for the professional who has made it his or her life goal to excel within a field of specialization through many years of study, dedication and determination, continually challenging themselves to advance their knowledge; these brilliant human beings not only save lives but also enrich their communities with a skill set second to none. Beyond this and in order to stay abreast of the latest, almost daily changing medical advancements, the ‘elite’ undergo rigorous maintenance, updating through seminars, conferences and advanced studies to keep current with new technology and procedures. In adding our ‘Tampa’s No. 1 Elite Doctors’ section with this issue, we present a group of physicians, all of whom are reputable, Board Certified in their areas of expertise, extremely well recognized within our community and chosen by their peers. Our objective is to initiate a continuing dialogue with our readers, with an aim toward personalizing some of the finest doctors available.

What is it that Shakespeare said? “What’s in a name? That which we call a mushroom by any other name could be so powerfully packed with incredible medicinal properties.” No? Well that’s what he would have said had he known about the powerful healing properties of turkey tail mushrooms. WHAT ARE TURKEY TAIL MUSHROOMS? Turkey tail mushrooms, or Coriolus versicolor, are colorful mushrooms that resemble their namesake, turkey tails, and grow on the side of dead trees and leaves in the forest. You’ve probably seen these fungal friends while hiking, never giving a second glance to the ancient secret weapon to treating the common cold, losing weight, and fighting cancer. The Chinese have used these mushrooms in the form of medicinal tea for centuries in order to boost the immune system, but turkey tail mushrooms are just now becoming popular in the United States. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS? Turkey tail mushrooms offer a host of benefits, but their main power is in the way they supercharge the immune system. Use these mushrooms when your sick coworker stands a little too close or when flu season comes around to boost your immune system.
Turkey Tail Mushrooms TAKE YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM ON A (HEALTH) TRIP
By Jordan Phillips
If you are trying to lose weight, turkey tail mushrooms help aid digestion by increasing the amount of good bacteria found in your body. Efficient digestion will not only make you feel better, but it will also help you with your bikini bod. The FDA recently approved clinical testing for patients with advanced prostate cancer to use turkey tail mushrooms in conjunction with their chemotherapy. Given their immune boosting qualities, turkey tail mushrooms are the perfect complement to immune-suppressing chemo drugs. In addition to offering relief from chemotherapy side effects, they may also help patients in their fight against cancer. WHERE CAN YOU GET THEM? Turkey tail mushroom supplements are available in capsule, powder and liquid form and can be found at most health food locations, including Chamberlins and Whole Foods. They are also available online. Because some wild mushrooms are harmful to health, do not go turkey tail hunting on your own. These amazing mushrooms are a natural alternative to traditional medicine, but it’s important to discuss all new supplements with your doctor before use.

BANISHING BACNE By Rhiannon Bowen
At the first glimmer of summer, Floridians quickly grab their swimsuits and tank tops, but a rainy day isn’t the only thing that causes some to cover-up. Bacne, also known as back acne or body acne, is especially common once temperatures begin to rise and people spend more time sweating in the sun. Like facial acne, bacne is caused by a combination of dirt, oil, and dead skin becoming trapped in pores, causing an inflamed blemish. However, as Lead Esthetician at Winter Park Anti-Aging and Laser Amy Runyan points out, bacne “differs from facial acne in two main ways.” First, the skin on your back is thicker and has larger pores than the skin on your face, making clogged pores more likely. Second, oil-producing glands on the back are more active, so a larger and more stubborn type of acne, known as cystic acne, can develop. Fortunately, Tampa Style is here to help you look your best while flaunting all the hot, summer styles you love. Though we might not see it as often, the skin on our backs, necks, and shoulders needs the same care and consideration as our face, so a medicated body wash is a great place to start. In the shower, use a cleanser containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to soothe inflammation and cut down on bacterial growth. When exercising or spending time outdoors, make sure to wear loose, breathable clothing. Cotton is preferable because it absorbs sweat, wicking it away from your body where it could clog pores. After activity, it is imperative to change out of sweaty clothes and take a shower as soon as possible. If you can’t do either, bring some cleansing wipes to rinse off the affected areas— this will buy you some time until you can hit the shower. And don’t forget to change your sheets! The human body is constantly shedding skin cells, even while we sleep, so it is important to wash and change linens regularly. No matter where acne occurs, everyone agrees on one rule: don’t pick! This is especially true for bacne, since the skin on your back does not regenerate or turnover as often as the skin on your face, making the chances of irritation and scarring much greater. Topical creams containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid will kill bacteria, while lotions with alpha or beta-hydroxy acids will exfoliate dead skin cells. Also, because the back is hard to reach, many companies offer these types of products in spray-on formulations. If your bacne problem is far below the skin and seems like a hard knot, you may be dealing with a cyst. In this case, and for those suffering from more serious cases of bacne, you should seek the advice of a dermatologist. You may need prescription medications, extractions, or a chemical peel to clear an unusually stubborn case. Above all, don’t be embarrassed. While it may seem alienating, acne is a familiar foe for most of us. With a little experimenting, and perhaps the help of a professional, you can find a skincare routine that works for you. Plus, even if there are a few spots on your back, nothing shines like confidence. 74

To get in the summer spirit, we have some ideas to make your home “summery”.

A DAY (OR NIGHT) in St. Petersburg!
All types of art have become more popular, specifically wall art. And for that, we can thank all those Instagram posts of beautiful art murals from all over the place. But lets shine some light on St. Petersburg! Did you know that we have this? It’s not Wynwood Miami, but it is still cool to see that more and more wall murals are popping up, even in “smaller” cities! To the right we have Pale Horse x Tes One. The massive, 50x30 foot mural is painted on the legendary State Theatre. This is just one mural out of many others in St. Pete. With shops, restaurants and art, of course, it’s a good reason to head out one weekend and spend a day (or night!) in St. Pete. 86

Weird Dog Habits
By Hannah Filiatreau
Every dog comes with a few of the standard cute attributes. Who knew we would be so endeared by a simple head tilt? But what about the less talked about and rather head turning habits? Chances are your dog will have one or multiple questionable habits too. Check out a few of the most common strange dog habits and what they really mean about Fido.
EXCESSIVE LICKING Some dogs happen to lather kisses on more than others, maybe even to an unwanted degree. This slobbery habit is an overkill of simple affection. Some dogs may pick up excessive licking by realizing it leads to your affection. Others may do it to complete sensory needs or to continue their primal instinct of grooming and socializing.
FLANK SUCKING Predominate in Doberman, dogs can and do suck on their own skin. This habit is a form of OCD and often becomes repetitive as a coping strategy. It is also usually indicative of anxiety. While seemingly harmless, it can actually lead to hair loss, sores, infections, and behavioral changes. It typically requires medication or therapy to treat.
HOWLING If you know your dog is not a wolf or hybrid, then this habit can seem especially strange. It may be as cute as a puppy finding their bark, but howling can continue up into adult dogs. We have yet to determine exactly why domesticated dogs find howling necessary and rewarding. Derived from primal instincts, some scientists now find it a simple way for dogs to express their presence.
BOOCH SCOOCH Too often than you may like to admit, you have seen this habit being laughed at or called “cute”. It is actually one of the least cute habits, as your dog is in fact scratching its butt on your floor. This action usually means your dog is facing anal gland problems. Or they could just be wiping up. It is often best to take a trip to the vet if this habit is frequent or coincides with a painful or angry expression. CHASING AND SPINNING There are more than enough videos of dogs expending energy in this dizzying way. While chasing their tail or shadow, or even just spinning can be cute, this can turn into a bad habit. Compulsive tail chasing can actually be indicative of a need to scratch, possibly due to anal gland issues or fleas. Besides medical issues, any form of repetitive movement can become compulsive for dogs and could require medication to treat. POOP TREAT Referred to as coprophagy, this is a particularly nasty habit. Many dogs consume their own feces for a variety of reasons. Some may be hungry or could purely enjoy it. Like cats eating grass, it could also be a remedy of some sort, particularly for a lack of protein. In an unlucky case your dog may also see it as fun, especially if you give them good enough reactions.
88
| TAMPASTYLEMAGAZINE.COM
HUMPING. ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. Contrary to popular belief, this habit is typically nonsexual. Even if your dog isn’t fixed, humping can happen more often than we care to admit. While it is embarrassing, you will be happy to know it is usually due to overexcitement or attention seeking. Both are relatively easy to fix by distracting them with treats or simply directing their energy elsewhere. SLEEPY CIRCLES We see this habit played out in movies and our own homes. It can be slightly maddening to watch your dog turn and turn as if it will actually make them any more comfortable. This habit is actually due to wild instincts. Undomesticated dogs and other species are frequently seen circling to stamp down greenery and debris to create a more comfortable spot to rest. INANIMATE FEAR Barking at or running from the vacuum cleaner may appear funny, but continued after lengthy exposure can indicate a bad habit. If your dog regularly expresses fear or dominance towards inanimate objects, then they may have anxiety. This can often be fixed with slowly increased exposure combined with positive reinforcements, like treats or playtime. Sometimes it may require anxiety medication.

Manly Drinks That’ll Put Hair on Your Chest SCORPION VODKA As you can see, Scorpion Vodka contains a walloping great scorpion. And it’s not just any scorpion. This particular pickled arachnid has been specially bred in southern China and is totally safe to eat. So they say. The word is that each pincer-wielding beastie (infused in the vodka for three months before hitting the shelves) has undergone a special detoxifying process. This neutralizes the scorpion’s venom, making it 100% edible, tail ‘n’ all!
PIZZA BEER “Pizza Beer” was developed Labor Day, 2006 by Tom and Athena Seefurth in their home brewery in Campton Township, IL. It all started with a surplus of tomatoes, a bag of garlic & an idea that began early in the spring when they planted thier garden herbs.The goal was to create a beer that would pair with a wide variety of foods, especially everyones favorite, pizza! In the end, they were pleasantly surprised that this “mess” turned out to actually be good!
OYSTER MUSHROOM BEER Jester King Snörkel — a farmhouse ale brewed with alderwood smoked sea salt and oyster mushrooms grown by Logro Farms. Logro Farms is located just a few hundred yards from Jester King Brewery at Ceres Park Ranch. They use spent grain from the beer to sustainably grow delicious oyster mushrooms.
SMOKED SALMON VODKA And you were scared to take a normal shot of vodka! This Smoked Salmon Vodka is made with premium vodka, created using glacier ice from Prince William Sound, infused with the flavor of savory smoked salmon. Useful in everything from bloody marys and martinis to luscious cream sauces.
