CELEBRITY SOUP

Mind, Body & Soul

The Spiritual Side of Today’s Superstars

By Alyssa Thomann

> Life is a chaotic string of events pulling us in different directions and leaving our bodies full of stress. It is impossible to deny the stresses we encounter from day to day. We all are victims. Some people let it build up and get the best of them ending in a big explosion of anger or worse, while others ease their way out of it and start everyday as a new beginning. I commend those who have their methods to keep their mind and body calm. Especially those who are the focus of the public eye like today’s Hollywood superstars. If I had to wake up every morning dodging paparazzi cameras and swarming crowds of people, I would need a stress outlet as well. Let’s see how these celebrities keep their mind, body and soul at ease while living such hectic lives.

Adam Levin, Maroon 5’s frontman and judge on The Voice, was once a skeptic about the yoga scene. He admits to once believing it was a cheesy celebrity cliché. However, his workouts at the gym were becoming more harmful than helpful. His body was constantly in pain and his physique was becoming too bulky turning him into what he claimed to be “a monster!” He decided, that for his body and peace of mind, he would give yoga a shot. 5 years later he’s still doing it. Levine believes that yoga molds the body to give it a much more natural look and feel. The physical payoff is a definite factor as to why he has become such a yogi, but he also claims that his routines are so therapeutic they help him to balance out his busy career. At every concert backstage there is a room

labeled “yoga” and before every concert where he must perform in front of thousands of people, an hour worth of yoga leaves him physically relaxed and ready for anything. Actress and director, Drew Barrymore, is one to fully encompass and embrace her spirituality on a daily basis. No more than two years ago, she endeavored on a solotrip to Delhi, India where she stayed for two weeks to take a break from her busy life and career. She was in need of a “shift of consciousness”. During her time abroad she was studying spirituality and religion. Barrymore took trips to different temples, explored and walked barefoot through the streets. She had amazing conversation and realized what a different experience it is to

journey alone. While there, she vowed that for the sake of her mind and soul she must take breaks from her busy life and venture out into the massive world. Delhi was just a single trip and she plans on many more endeavors. Through travel and meditation, Barrymore is able to keep hold of the reigns of her lifethis is her stress relief. She says that praying, thinking about friends and never losing sight of all that you have are the most important ways to keep a happy mind and soul. Madonna, 50 years old and still beautiful in both her body and mind has never let her extensive fame and fortune take from her what means the most - her spirituality and soul. After giving birth, to her daughter, Lourdes, Madonna began to pick up yoga to get her body back into shape. It has been

over a decade and she is still practicing the soothing and wellness exercise. She believes yoga is a metaphor for life. That you must take both life and yoga slowly; never rush. You cannot skip to the next position as you cannot skip ahead in life either. She explains that during your yoga routine, you may find yourself in some humiliating positions but you cannot judge yourself. Just breathe and let go.

when you make time for yourself to heal and recover from something as serious as addiction, something like magic happens. His Yogic lifestyle is his rehabilitation. Downey is one of the latest celebrities to join and find serenity within the scope of this lifestyle and seems to be another success story. Through an active pursuit to better his life and by finding the right niche, Downey may have finally conquered his addiction. <

Tapping into his spirituality and focusing on the betterment of his body and mind may have been what saved Robert Downey Jr. from his addiction to drugs. He has had numerous feats of success in his life and career that have unfortunately been followed by downhill spirals and run-ins with the law due to his addiction. However, life is looking up for Robert Downey Jr. He explains that

Lower Your Risk of Alzheimer’s Disease By Deborah F. Harding M.D. Harding Anti- Aging Center Read more at: StyleToMe.com

::

> Approximately 5.4 million Americans suffer from Alzheimer’s disease. Every 68 seconds someone in America develops Alzheimer’s disease. With the aging of baby boomers, an additional 10 million Americans are expected to develop the disease in the upcoming decades. As a result the rate is projected to more than double by 2015, to one in every 33 seconds. It is normally thought of as a disease that primarily affects older individuals. However, an estimated 200,000 people under the age of 65 are also affected. Despite aggressive research the percentage of deaths due to Alzheimer’s disease continues to increase while deaths from heart disease and stroke have fallen. It is the sixth leading cause of death in American and the fifth among those over age 64.

ing the disease. New research shows that lowering elevated blood sugars may substantially reduce your chances of developing Altzheimer’s. We know your best offense is a strong defense against developing the disease in the first place.

Alzheimer’s disease is felt to be a complex disease with multiple interrelated causes, from genetics to lifestyle choices. The end result is a loss of brain cells and their billions of connections that leads to death of the cells in the areas of the brain that are responsible for memory thinking, and personality. Currently we know a great deal about the disease’s risk factors and the changes we can see in the brains and how these changes affect brain function. Unfortunately, there still is no cure. Current medical treatments focus on treating the symptoms. Modern drug therapy is directed at boosting the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the brain cells. Unfortunately we currently do not have medications that can slow or stop the progression of the disease or reverse it.

• Acetyl –L-Carnitine – mitochondrial health

Numerous abnormalities exist in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease. • Senile Plaques - abnormal collections of protein outside the brain cells felt to be a possible cause of the death of brain cells.

The science of nutritional strategies for preventing and slowing the progression of Alzheimer’s disease continues to grow. New blood tests are now available that allow us to measure specific nutrient levels in our blood and make sure we have the optimal levels to prevent disease development, and promote optimal health. Here is a list of some common supplements being investigated that have great promise by targeting multiple mechanisms in Alzheimer’s development.

• Ginseng – used in Chinese medicine and may reduce amyloid formation • N-Acetlylcysteine (NAC) - amino acid precursor of the antioxidant glutathione • Lipoic Acid - mitochondrial energy production • Omega-3 fish oils - reduce inflammation and improve brain cell membranes • Vitamin D - multiple beneficial effects for brain health. • Magnesium - mineral essential for many enzymatic reactions. • B Vitamins - B12, folate and B6 are essential to lower homocysteine levels. • CoQ10 and PQQ - increase cellular energy

• Neurofibrillary tangles - intracellular structures that trigger cell destruction and malfunction.

• Curcumin - lowers oxidative stress and may prevent amyloid molecules from assembling.

• Imbalance of neurotransmitter levels - such as acetylcholine that prevents proper signaling between brain cells.

• Resveratrol - antioxidant that may have effects on positive gene expression.

• Increased inflammation - researchers believe that increased inflammation from oxidative stress is a major cause of cell death. • Elevated Homocysteine levels - an amino acid that when elevated can increase deposits of amyloid and neurofibrillary tangles. • Defective mitochondria - the organelles inside the brain cells responsible for energy production. There is a large amount of data showing that making healthy dietary and lifestyle choices along with the optimal use of nutrients, hormones, and supplements may dramatically reduce the risk of develop-

• Phosphatidylserine - may reduce the risk of dementia and cognitive dysfunction in the elderly. • Coffee, blueberry, green tea and grape seed extracts – they possess potent antioxidant properties. The research as to the cause, prevention, and reversal of Alzheimer’s disease continues. Currently the best strategy is to focus on a plan of prevention. Proper diet, exercise, and nutritional supplementation with focused blood work are currently our best defense against a disease that has multiple mechanisms and requires a broad defense to target disease prevention. <

Is Your Hair Waving Goodbye? By Ro Martinez Read more at: StyleToMe.com

> When viewing the opposite sex, men think long hair is sexy; women think full hair is youthful. It is no wonder that Americans spend a small fortune on hair care and grooming products. We condition it, color it, trim it, curl it, flatiron it and do everything in their power so it looks thick, healthy and shiny. When your hair looks and feels good, life is grand. If your hair is unhealthy or thinning, life may become a series of bad hair days. To keep your locks looking their best, avoid heat damage from your blow dryer or flatiron. “The use of hot tools on a daily basis is what causes people to have ugly long hair and not healthy, shiny, gorgeous long hair,� shared hair pro Oribe, who does hair for Jennifer Lopez. If you must use heat styling aids, use a heat-protecting product prior to drying or styling your hair. To give the appearance of thicker hair, have long layers cut and get regular trims to remove split ends. Brush your hair daily with a natural bristle brush to help distribute natural oils and encourage growth.

hair are salmon, dark green vegetables, beans, eggs, and low- fat dairy products. Hair loss can be blamed on a variety of culprits like heredity, hormones, male pattern baldness or health issues such as cancer. Other factors can also contribute to thinning or hair loss such as poor nutrition, prescription drugs, iron deficiency or stress. What if your hair is thin or you have bald patches? You cannot style what is not there, and at times, no amount of teasing or spraying can help. Hair extensions may be the answer. Hair stylist Karen McGraw of Salon 400 showed us that, in as little as a few hours, you can have a full head of gorgeous flowing hair. In her comfortable, well-stocked and organized salon she can cut, style, color, straighten and curl your mane. Karen specializes in natural looking extensions. She matches your own hair color and is able to use extensions of different shades to add highlights resulting in multifaceted color. “Karen makes my long hair look so natural that people think it’s my own. No one knows I have extensions. I can curl it and straighten it just as if I was born with it. I just love working with Karen, she makes my hair look perfect. Long hair gives me more confidence and I feel feminine and beautiful. When I book modeling jobs, my hair plays a major part,” shared Brittany Shumaker one of Karen’s clients. Another option is non-surgical hair placement. Karen custom orders the correct shade, then cuts and styles the hair once it is applied directly to the scalp, resulting in a natural look. So natural, I could not

New Exhibit at the Tampa Bay History Center By Cathleen K. Bode Credits: Kelly Casas Read more at: StyleToMe.com

“The latest exhibit that is up for display is a compilation of photographs of artist Carlton Ward Jr., which showcase the beauty of Florida’s wild life interior.” STYLETOME.COM

> The Tampa Bay History Center is a 60,000-square-foot museum located in the heart of the Channel District, allowing residents to learn about 12,000 years of Florida history through interactive exhibits. They have new exhibitions regularly and provide a fun-learning environment. If you are looking for a change of pace in your leisure time or simply seeking to have an enriching experience this is the place you want to visit with friends and family alike. The latest exhibit that is up for display is a compilation of photographs of artist Carlton Ward Jr., which showcase the beauty of Florida’s wild life interior. Appropriately titled “Florida Wildlife Corridor Expedition: The Photographs of Carlton Ward Jr.” Together with documentarian Elam Stolzfus, conservationist Mallory Lykes Dimmitt, and bear biologist Joe Guthrie, Ward embarked on a 1,000-mile journey through the state of Florida that lasted 100 days. The journey began at the southern tip of the Everglades in Flamingo, Florida as the team hiked through some astounding wilderness areas filled with swamps, parks and agricultural lands. The team’s expedition ended just above the Florida border in Fargo, Georgia.The best of Carlton’s photographs of Florida’s true beauty in the form of landscapes and animals from this amazing excursion are up for visitors to enjoy at the History Center through May 5th. Ward explains his mission was to bring more awareness to our State’s ecosystem and how we

play a role in it every day. “We rely on our natural resources like the Everglades watershed and St. John’s River watershed which millions of us get our drinking water from, also we don’t realize that in the Everglades we have panthers and many other types of wildlife that roam the land just as they did so long ago.” said Ward. Throughout the journey, Carlton captured some of the most incredible photographs of our state’s ecosystem and all that makes it what it is and everything we rely on. The wildlife section of the exhibit featuring all the different types of animals we shelter in this state is nothing short of remarkable. You will learn about animals you might have never known inhabited the Sunshine State and take a trip down some of the most incredible sights of Florida landscape you have ever seen. To go along with this exhibition is a documentary of the team’s entire 100day journey, which is currently set to air and make its local and national debut to audiences later this year.< The Tampa Bay History Center 801 Old Water Street (formerly St. Pete Times Forum Drive) Tampa, FL 33602 Ph: 813.228.0097 www.tampabayhistorycenter.org

> March got off to a fantastic start with a slew of sold out events that brought out the best of the best in the music, comedy, and theater business. It was a month to remember with major musical acts making stops in various venues and comedy tours that will leave audiences laughing even after the show. The crowds all came out for theater performances as well and I think as a city we could all agree this is was a great month to get out and enjoy our favorite acts. Kicking things off was a musically perfect performance at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino by Grammy winning band Matchbox 20 on March 13th.The longevity of the band spans over a decade with many hits that have attracted fans for all these years. They are hands down the most popular rock band of the late 90s and still hold a strong fan base which all came out to see.The tour is a result of their fourth studio album titled “North,” which is their first official album release since 2002. Concertgoers delighted in cocktails and an exciting performance

that lasted a couple hours and left us all wanting more, encore encore! We’re keeping our fingers crossed that they’ll make yet another stop to our city sometime in the near future. Shifting gears from legendary rocks bands to unforgettable comedy shows, this month was all about laughs as numerous comedians brought their tour to Tampa. The best names in the business like Bill Cosby, Jerry Seinfeld and the Royal Comedy Tour were all part of this month’s comedy act, and I mean how lucky are we? Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Cosby all in one month! For comedy lover’s, including me, it doesn’t get better than that. Comedian and popular television show character Jerry Seinfeld was at the Carol Morsani Hall on March 30th and had the crowd including myself laughing hysterically! Moving forward with theater, the story that has stolen hearts all over the world for years with the play and now the newly

released movie, Les Misérables was also in attendance in Tampa this month with a heart wrenching Broadway performance of the classic tale. Shows were held at the Van Wezel Hall March 5th, 7th, and 10th with sold out shows every night. This was the 25th anniversary show, which displayed new scenery and staging for lovers of this legendary musical. Fans of the musical were raving after the show’s performance and I could do nothing but agree – it was everything you would want to see in a musical, love, tragedy, heroism, the works. The show was so spectacular to witness and I absolutely would recommend to anyone who enjoys the arts. < Know of a Not-To-Be Missed Event? Do Tell!

YOUR LIFE

Healthy Enough to be a Legal Permanent Resident of the United States? By Mark NeJame Contributor Nayef A. Mubarak, Associate Attorney with NeJame Law Read more at: StyleToMe.com

> The law defines all sorts of things. It defines mental capacity, intent, contracts, trusts, and even nuisances. Most do not know it, but the law also defines who is healthy and who is not. More precisely, the law defines which categories of non-citizens are unhealthy and thus inadmissible to the United States. Section 212(a)(1)(A)(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act states “… any alien who is determined to have a communicable disease of public health significance” is ineligible to receive a visa and ineligible to be admitted in to the United States.

“Perhaps Congress’ original intent was to protect citizens of our country, but in practice the law was discriminatory and harmful and so it was repealed.”

Mark NeJame

STYLETOME.COM

What is the legal definition of a disease of public significance? Here is a short list of some of the diseases of public significance: chancroid, gonorrhea, granuloma inguinal, leprosy (infectious), syphilis, and tuberculosis. The Secretary of Health and Human Services (HSS) determines this list. The list of diseases that are of public significance is not limited to the designations made by the HSS. In addition to the designations of HSS, other quarantinable diseases can be added to the list through Presidential Executive Order, and those diseases that are considered public health emergencies by the World Health Organization (WHO). Although the above list may have made you cringe, the reality of the situation is many of the diseases are quite common and/or treatable. Whether people admit it or not, it is highly likely that some friends or family members may have or have had the above diseases. How would we cope with being separated from our family member, whether a spouse, child, or parent, because they had gonorrhea? Although the hypothetical seems grotesque and playful, the truth of the matter is it is reality for some individuals. Luckily, waivers are offered for certain family members and certain diseases. Filing a waiver can be quite complicated. It requires additional fees and documentation. Although it may delay the family reunification,

complicate cases, and increases costs for the individual, the families could eventually be reunited if the applicant is able to meet the difficult requirements of the waiver. Needless to say, activists and rights groups have historically challenged this issue. Just recently in 2008, Congress repealed the HIV/AIDS admission bar. Technically, prior to 2008, you were unable to become a legal resident of the United States if you were HIV positive or infected with AIDS. Now if this is really thought about, this was not only an issue for those seeking to enter the United States from abroad, but it was also a hurdle for those individuals already in the United States. For example, if someone entered the United States legally as a student, contracted HIV while in the United States, and eventually married a USC, that individual was technically unable to become a legal permanent resident through their marriage. In order to qualify for waiver one would have to demonstrate three things. First, a qualifying family member is needed such as a spouse, child, or parent. Second, the applicant must establish danger to public health and the possibility of spread of infection posed by the applicant’s condition is minimal.Thirdly, the applicant must demonstrate how they will financially support their medical treatment in the US at no cost to the US government. Given this high standard for a waiver, it is no wonder many of these applications were denied and families were kept apart. Perhaps Congress’ original intent was to protect citizens of our country, but in practice the law was discriminatory and harmful and so it was repealed. So, are you healthy enough, legally, to become a legal resident of the United States? The answer is probably “yes,” but this is today, after substantial changes in the law and applications for waivers of inadmissibility. The answer may not have been the same just a few years ago. <

TOYS

The wraps are finally off the LaFerrari. The Prancing Horse’s eagerly-anticipated limitedseries special, of which just 499 will be built, made its world debut at the Geneva International Motor Show.

STYLETOME.COM


TOYS

> “We chose to call this model LaFerrari,” declared Ferrari’s President, Luca di Montezemolo, “because it is the maximum expression of what defines our company – excellence. Excellence in terms of technological innovation, performance, visionary styling and the sheer thrill of driving. Aimed at our collectors, this is a truly extraordinary car which encompasses advanced solutions that, in the future, will find their way onto the rest of the range, and it represents the benchmark for the entire automotive industry. LaFerrari is the finest expression of our company’s unique, unparalleled engineering and design know-how, including that acquired in Formula 1.”

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

For Ferrari the development of a limitedseries special like the LaFerrari represents an opportunity to experiment with all the technological solutions that will later filter down onto the production cars. Of particular significance in this context is the introduction of the hybrid system which, making full use of the Scuderia Ferrari’s F1 KERS know-how, has resulted in a solution that exalts Ferrari’s fundamental values – performance and driving thrills. The hybrid technology used, known as HY-KERS, represents the perfect combination of maximum performance and lower emissions. LaFerrari in fact emits just 330 g/km of CO2 but without resorting to electric-only drive which would not fit the mission of this model. The HY-KERS system is, however, designed so that in future applications a car can be driven using exclusively electric power for a few kilometres and, during development testing, a full-electric version of LaFerrari achieved just 220 g/km of C02 emissions on the combined cycle.

0-200 km/h <7 sec

The LaFerrari is equipped with dynamic controls that are integrated for the first time ever on a Ferrari road car with active aerodynamics and the HY-KERS system. Thanks to Ferrari’s proprietary logic which govern all the systems, the car can achieve absolute levels of performance, aerodynamic efficiency and handling without any form of compromise in any area. A very advanced and uncompromising approach was also taken with the interior design which features an HMI inspired by F1 single-seaters. <

their stage presence to their crowd interaction, ID knows how to put on a show. Watching them perform you’d think they were a longtime established band, but as guitarist Wayne Sermon tells us, this is not the case at all. “We’ve only been a band for 4 years and 3 of those years were basically just sleeping on couches and eating bean burritos.” (Sermon) Incredibly, ID’s rise to international fame has only been within the last year, which seems crazy when you can’t go anywhere without hearing their music. As Sermon found out one day, you’re not even safe in the theatres!

Style Magazine Sits Down With Imagine Dragons By Riesa Pascal Concert Photo Credit: Ruben Santa-Cruz Read more at: StyleToMe.com

ID says their goal has always been to make their music as organic as possible and to build their band one fan at a time. Well I think it’s safe to say they’ve achieved that. ID’s fanbase is huge and it continues to grow. One thing I loved about them during our interview was how down to earth they were. These guys are truly all about their music and don’t try to be something they’re not. Their songs are born out of true, genuine moments. Take the chart topping single, “It’s Time” for example. “‘It’s Time’ started late one night in my kitchen. I was going through a low point in my life and I was stomping my feet and clapping my hands and singing about change as in a new beginning, but going back to who

> How does one start an article about Imagine Dragons? Whatever I say, it won’t be sufficient enough to talk about this band that myself and many others have fallen in love with. ID is currently on tour promoting their debut album, Night Visions and we had the pleasure of sitting down with the band as they passed through ‘The City Beautiful’ for a sold-out concert at House of Blues. ID drummer Daniel Platzman told us the Night Visions tour has been an unbelievable dream come true and one brief look outside the venue was all it took to understand why. Packed lines of concertgoers wrapped around HOB. Once inside, fans of all ages eagerly waited for the show to start and no matter where you stood, the people around you were singing along with every single lyric and word. The energy of the crowd was incredible and matched, if not surpassed, only by that of the band themselves. From

“It was really bizarre hearing my music for the first time in a movie trailer...I’m there and watching the trailers beforehand and our song came on. Then the next trailer comes on and it’s another one of our songs. I swear I just started sinking in my seat...I was like, “Ugh, I hope people like it.” (Sermon)

you are at your core and staying true to your roots. I never wrote it with the intention of it playing on the radio or even being heard by anybody really, but I brought it to the band and that’s when it really came to life and we knew we had something pretty special that we had created together.” (Dan Reynolds) The ID frontman went on to say that their other single, “Radioactive,” was written in a similar way. He called it a song about personal empowerment and overcoming surmounting odds. “At the end of the day we’re a rock band that fuses an organic sound with a synthetic electric sound and “Its Time” and “Radioactive” we felt would be two good singles to show the entire spectrum of the band.” (Reynolds) A big way in which ID combines those worlds is through creative use of instruments. Everything from a quad of toms and claves to a mandolin and other stringed instruments. Perhaps my favorite item is the 6-foot-tall, 300-pound Taiko drum that the band just purchased from Asia. It’s an incredible sight to see on stage and an equally incredible experience to see Reynolds going to town on it. “I grew up listening to a lot of urban radio and hip-hop and so I was very obsessed with percussion. My first instrument was drums so we work a lot of percussion into our music. There are just so many great instruments that are not used here in the states that are used all around the world that have real value to them so we hope to incorporate that more into our show and music.” (Reynolds) The future looks big and bright for ID and as Sermon told us, writing new music is instinctive to the band so don’t be surprised to hear more instant hits from them in the near future. For now though, their focus remains on Night Vision. “We looked at our schedule for the next year and it’s pretty much booked with just playing shows which we can’t really complain about cause that’s what we love to do.We love to play live music for people. It’s our first love and there’s a lot of people who haven’t heard us play live yet and we want to reach those people.” (Sermon) If you would like to be one of those people or would just like more info on Imagine Dragons, be sure to check out www.ImagineDragonsMusic.com for the latest on the band, their music, and their tours. <

BEST FRIENDS

> Ah, the sounds of spring in Florida: the crack of a baseball bat, the chirping of robins, and the constant buzz of mosquitoes. Those little flying villains are not only after your blood, your pet’s blood too. The mosquito is the “Petri Dish of Disease” within the insect world. They have the ability to transmit malaria, West Nile virus, encephalitis, and many other deadly diseases. Unfortunately, they also have the ability to transmit contagions and microbes that may also cause havoc in dogs, cats, horses, and many other family pets. The most prevalent and (very ironic) the most preventable of diseases in dogs and cats is heartworm disease.

Body, Soul & Heart of Healthy Pets By Jake White Executive Vice President & General Manager SPCA of Central Florida Read more at: StyleToMe.com

STYLETOME.COM

The process begins when a mosquito bites an infected animal with heartworms and their “eggs” - microfilariae. The microfilariae develop into larvae inside the mosquito. The mosquito then bites another pet, thus transmitting the burrowing larvae to the skin of the pet, beginning the migration to the heart. Within the heart, the larvae grow to lengths of 12 inches in the right side of the heart and the pulmonary arteries. Once reaching maturity, the worms create more microfilariae, thus continuing the cycle. According to the American Veterinary Association, “Heartworm disease can cause serious health problems and may eventually lead to heart failure and death.” – I know… pretty morbid for our lighthearted article about Body and Soul.

But there is good news. Heartworm disease is 100% preventable. Take your pet(s) to their Veterinarian, have a simple test completed (to insure that the pet is not currently infected), and then obtain a prescription for heartworm prevention. There are several varieties of heartworm prevention, so you should have a brief discussion with your Veterinarian to find the best treatment to parallel you and your pet’s lifestyles. Most prescriptions are easy to feed to your pet and are much more affordable compared to treating for heartworm disease. If you don’t have a Veterinarian, you may contact the SPCA of Central Florida’s low-cost clinics for spay/ neuter surgeries and for annual wellness exams. There are two facilities (Orlando and Sanford) and one mobile unit (Kissimmee and St. Cloud). Tons of information about services and products are available at www. OrlandoPets.org.<

SPOTLIGHT ON THE LAW

STRESS - BY MARK L. HORWITZ > As a lawyer I have observed the stress caused by being under investigation or charged with a crime. The impact of realizing that you may lose your liberty, as well as face public humiliation, can be severe and takes many forms. Loss of sleep, loss of productivity, loss of concentration and even thoughts of suicide are common examples of the impact of stress. In helping clients who must deal with the criminal justice system, I routinely discuss the impact stress may have on daily life and that it must be recognized, acknowledged, and dealt with. Recognizing that stress is a normal consequence of facing criminal charges is a first step. While most people have a certain amount of stress in their lives, few have had to deal with the extreme stress caused by a criminal case. I have observed, both men and women, break down and cry in my of-

fice. They will call complaining of lack of sleep and inability to function. I believe it is important for an attorney to let clients know that what they are experiencing is to be expected, under the circumstances. Help in coping with the stress caused by a criminal case can take many forms. Open communication between attorney and client can relieve stress by answering questions, explaining procedures, and understanding the legal case. Reaching out to a spouse or family member may also be helpful. Many also benefit from talking with clergy or counseling with health care professionals. <

:: TRAVEL ‘N STYLE

Jupiter Island Destination: Jupiter... Travel Time: 2 hrs. Mission: Relaxation

> Driving from I-95 eastbound at Exit 59A to the end of Indiantown Road and despite being somewhat off the beaten path, we discovered this quiet spa resort. Our first impression was that we had stumbled on a South Beach art deco hotel. Navigating thru the front entrance is a totally different experience, however, presenting an atmosphere draped with the warmth of mahogany, soft lighting dancing off playful ‘antler’ motif chandeliers, vibrant silk draperies of orange hues and heavy wooden beams; this is the perfect invitation to an enchanting and calming respite and just what we needed on this lovely weekend. Situated at the northern end of Palm Beach County in Jupiter, this compact and beautiful but unpretentious resort of 159 guest rooms possesses all the amenities of other, larger facilities farther south. With its secluded Atlantic coast pristine beachfront stretching over 1,000 ft. in length, this nine story resort and spa features all newly renovated suites and guest rooms contain-

STYLETOME.COM

ing designer mahogany furnishings, marble bathrooms with private seating balconies to showcase stunning ocean views. A complete range of guest room amenities includes fully-stocked honor bars, plush robes and slippers, in-room safety deposit boxes and VIP evening turndown service. Resort amenities include a heated oceanfront swimming pool and new whirlpool spa, fitness center offering private instruction, separate Yoga/Pilates room, lighted tennis courts, game room, a full service 7,500 square foot spa and four award-winning restaurants and dining options.

“After a leisurely stroll on the beach, we prepared to be pampered from head to toe at the newly refurbished intimate spa and salon.” Drawing from Florida’s abundance of locally harvested fresh ingredients to inspire a host of internationally flavored cuisine, Sinclairs

Ocean Grill was precisely what we had in mind for a romantic dinner. We began our culinary odyssey with some icy ‘bubbly’ along with an appetizer of Smoked Duck Spring Rolls. The following course of Seared Steak Tenderloin Papardella Pasta with wild mushrooms, black truffles, asparagus tips and cherry tomatoes in a cognac cream sauce was perfectly matched with Magnificent, Franciscan, Napa Valley - California, one of my favorite reds. Our main course of Cioppino Stew, a seafarers delight of slowly simmered yellowtail snapper, grouper, mussels, calamari, shrimp and scallops in an herb and tomato based sauce was deliciously paired with a full bodied Puligny- Montrachet, from Louis Latour, a French, dry white of majestic note produced in the heart of the Burgundy region; this meshed beautifully with the palate. As a further enhancement to the romantic setting, we were awakened the following morning with gentle sounds of rolling surf and soft, almost ancient musical sounds

coming from a wedding party taking place in the distance, on the beach. The aroma of jasmine along with laughter which filled the sea air, confirmed our thoughts of this being the perfect way to begin this journey of togetherness. After a leisurely stroll on the beach, we prepared to be pampered from head to toe at the newly refurbished intimate spa and salon; we began with warm, cozy, plush robes and visits to the Tea Bar, where herbal teas, fresh fruits and hot chocolate ‘shots’ preface the serene experience. Each of six treatment rooms is equipped with a state-of-the-art massage table, subtle lighting and individual sound controls. Specialty body treatments, such as sugar rubs, take place in a specially designed wet room; gel nails and rose petal pedicures are among other specialties at the full-service nail salon. My choice for skin enhancement was the “Blushing Rose Facial” which uses pure Damask rose oils to impart radiance and nourishment to the skin, followed by an intensive scalp, face

and décolleté massage, to complete this treatment. For him, “His Highness” classic gentleman’s facial, created for kings, royally addresses the skin care needs of a man, providing a regal cleansing, exfoliation and massage, resulting in a more handsome and revitalized than ever, ‘courtly” look. After a brief intermission in the Tea Room, for a few ‘shots’ of chocolate, we opted for a ‘couples’ massage and with the assistance of our therapists, chose the Indian Tide Massage (Abhyanga), a stirring rhythmic massage based on holistic Ayurvedic therapy; warm, herbal-infused oils are kneaded into the muscles creating an emotional and physical state of well-being. Falling into a total relaxation mode, we realized that enjoying this calm, rejuvenating experience could be repeated more often…it’s only a short three hour drive from Tampa! <

> The Tampa Museum of Art is pleased to present 100 important American paintings from The Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C. Founded in 1921 as America’s first museum of modern art, the Phillips Collection is world renowned for its exceptional collection of modern American and European masterpieces. For this exhibition, curators selected works from the 1850s through 1960s that showcase the full breadth of its American art, featuring those exceptional artists who were able to find their own voices and create work that was deeply personal and expressed with fresh vision, yet connected to the great traditions of the past and the present. Geniuses of American painting in the exhibition include Winslow Homer, Thomas Eakins, Childe Hassam, Rockwell Kent, Georgia O’Keeffe, Edward Hopper, Grandma Moses, Jacob Lawrence, Jackson Pollock, Clyfford Still, and Mark Rothko. To See as Artists See: American Art from The Phillips Collection, organized by The Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C., makes its final stop at the Tampa Museum of Art after international stops in Madrid, Tokyo and Rovereto, Italy, and most recently in Nashville and Fort Worth.

25 HOUR

The Secret to the

th

By Hebah Abdelqader Read more at: StyleToMe.com

> We live in an age where twenty-four hours in a day is just not enough. Everyone is always on the run. Things need to happen fast, they need to be done yesterday and we pay for it with our health. Some say the advance in technology will be the death of us, but we say otherwise. We have found a twenty-fifth hour and we want to share this secret with you. There is an application for almost anything these days.We want to introduce you to the top three that will enhance your body, mind and soul. The result is a healthier body that diets smarter, sleeps better and is very active. Sound impossible? Fear not my friend, we have tested them out ourselves and it is very much possible. The quality of your sleep determines your performance during the day. Even sleeping eight hours a night does not mean that your body has fully recharged. Sleep Cycle, an application developed by Maciek Drejak, will record your sleep patterns and help you figure out a better sleeping habit. Your body moves differently during the various cycles of sleep and the app recognizes this. The way it works is it uses the accelerometer in your iPhone to sense your movement while you’re sleeping to measure sleep quality. It also allows you to record

STYLETOME.COM

what you have done during the day and connects that information to the type of sleep quality you had. After using the application for a period of time you will adjust your behaviors and mimic the days you experienced excellent sleep. We noticed that a healthier diet during the day lead to better sleep during the night. Understanding the nutrition facts on the foods that you eat will lead to educated eating habits. Being aware of the content of the food you are about to introduce to your body will lead to smarter eating, and a healthier diet.

“There is an application for almost anything these days. We want to introduce you to the top three that will enhance your body, mind and soul. ” Lose It, a dieting app, will calculate the amount of calories you need to consume each day to maintain or lose weight. Exceeding this calorie count will cause you to gain weight; rarely anyone wants that. This application contains a large database of foods with their nutrition facts, and if it’s not in there, just scan the barcode of the food item and voilà. It is food journal-

ing made simple. The way it works is that it gives you a daily budget of calories to lose weight. If you want to eat more, you have to exercise more to balance your calorie budget. And when you come across a food item that will eat up most of your calorie budget you will learn to make an educated decision not to consume it. Wanting to burn more calories leads to more exercise and a healthier body. The most important muscle to exercise is your heart and what’s a better way to do it then running or cycling. Strava, a social fitness application, is our favorite exercise app. It records your route, level of activity and time you spend running or cycling. It also allows you to share your results socially, which ignites competition within your circle of friends. Our bodies are like machines. The more we take care of them the better and longer it will perform. Performing better during the day will create the illusion of a twenty-fifth hour. So download those apps and watch the twenty-fifth hour appear one minute at a time.<

2. Don’t Let a Tip Jar Send You on a Guilt Trip. You see a tip jar at your local coffeehouse or sandwich joint and you suddenly feel like Hamlet: To tip or not to tip? Unless you get great service, there is no need to tip the barista at Starbucks. If there’s a jar at the carwash and the crew gives your ride a little extra TLC, consider leaving something. But don’t feel obligated. “It’s up to you whether you want to throw some change in the jar,” says Lizzie Post, great-great-granddaughter of Emily Post. “If you’re a regular customer, tip on occasion.”

> 1. Stay Tip-Top All Year. The standard restaurant tip is still 15% to 20% of your pre-tax bill (if you’re dissatisfied with your server, leave 15% anyway and tell the manager why you weren’t happy.) But other service providers should get a little extra, too. For taxi drivers, figure 10% to 15%, depending on whether they help you with your bags. Valet-parking attendants should get a buck or two once they return your car-unscathed. Hair stylists and massage therapists should pick up an extra 15% to 20% per visit-with the exception of the owner, whose pride would be offended, says etiquette maven Judith Martin (also known as Miss Manners).

3. It Gets Tricky When You Travel.

4. Maybe Give a Little More this

Skycaps at U.S. airports get $1 per bag. Cabin stewards on a cruise ship leaving from a U.S. port usually get $3 a day (but look online to see whether service is included). Once you arrive overseas, check your guidebook to see what the local custom is. In Western Europe, you generally leave a nominal tip if you really liked the food and service, to say “thank you” and to show appreciation at a restaurant, or you don’t need to tip at all. Usually the tip (or service charge) is already calculated in the price. If not, consider leaving about 10% in an upscale restaurant. At a pub in the U.K., instead of tipping the bartender, you might offer to buy him a drink. In Denmark, you’re not expected to tip servers or taxi drivers, says fashion designer Kate Spade in her book Manners (Simon & Schuster). And if you ever make it to Iceland, Spade writes, don’t even think about tipping a waiter. It’s considered rude.

Year. Yes, tipping is discretionary. But the recession has changed the rules. Consider opening your wallet a little wider now, especially if you experience superior service. Why? The workers you tip are at the low end of the pay scale. “Everyone’s watching his or her pennies, but these people need tips even more,” says Lydia Ramsey, business-etiquette expert and author of Manners That Sell: Adding the Polish That Builds Profits.

5.‘Tis the Season. Just about anyone who serves you during the year should get a token of appreciation.The norm for your nanny and house cleaner is a week’s pay. Your mail carrier is not allowed to accept cash, but you can give him or her a gift valued at $20 or less.Your newspaper carrier, trash collector and UPS driver should get 20 to 25 bucks. Appropriate gifts for hair stylists (whether they own the shop or not) include the cash equivalent of one appointment or a nice bottle of bubbly. If you have kids in school, don’t give the teacher cash–it could be construed as a bribe. Suggest that all of the parents chip in for a gift certificate. <

COCKTAIL HOUR

©

Barfly The Age Old After Dinner Quandary Travis Joiner Read more at: StyleToMe.com

> The after dinner cocktail has been a staple in our society for quite some time now. For some a night out on the town with friends and a good meal is required to end in a libation at the bar. Everyone has their preferred choice when it comes to their final cocktail almost to the point of it being a religious act. There are more than a few choices to make when you get up from the table after a big meal and head towards the bar for the ever important, after dinner cocktail. Whether you call it a nightcap or a digestive, before you order I suggest you ask yourself a few questions to help you with the selection. Did you go all out, gastronomically speaking, and are in need of something to settle your stomach? Are you looking for that alternative to dessert in the glass rather than the plate? Or are you looking to find that perfect nightcap for that perfect evening? I have a few things for you to ponder regardless of which poison you decide to pick. For a lot of us who indulge our devilish gastronomy side the after dinner drink will be in the form of a digestive. Usually a beverage made with plenty of herbs and spices.These are generally regarded to settle your stomach. The digestivo, the term used in Italy for centuries, was based on herbal medicines that were consumed in liquid form to help with exactly what you are thinking. Now the history of this is absolutely fascinating but that is for another time. In modern times there are some great Italian liquors to choose from. I recommend an amaro, bitter spirit, such as Fernet Branca or Averna. These can be poured at room temperature and sipped on or like some prefer, chilled as a shot. There are plenty of digestives behind every restaurant bar you end up at so just ask your local bartender. There are other choices all over the world and each country will have their version of digestive aiding liquor. I just lean towards the Italians because, well it is just what I prefer. Look to the Greeks as well, they have a bevy of choices from Metaxa to Grappa. If you were able to get thru dinner without the need of the tummy settling elixirs and prefer the dessert option behind the bar there are some great choices to decide from. Sticking with Italy I would lean

STYLETOME.COM

towards a great Limoncello. If you are fortunate to find one that is made in-house stop your decision-making and order it chilled. There are many nut liquors to choose from as well, some cream based some not. These selections, like Baileys or Frangelico, will definitely take care of that sugary rush you need. It is always a good idea to take a look at the port and sherry list to satisfy the sweet tooth in liquid form. Ruby ports are typically on the sweeter side so I lean towards a nice tawny port or a vintage port more often than not. The combinations are endless and you will no doubt walk away perfectly sated. For those who are looking for that perfect nightcap after a great evening let’s talk whiskey. Now I know we all have our favorites between small batch bourbons or single malt whisky so we will just scratch the surface a little. For those who want to think outside the box a little I recommend looking for exactly that. Compass Box is a brand that is not afraid to play with your mind as far as your idea about whisky. If you want something a little different and a little smoother try the Compass Box Orangerie with a cube of ice or two. It is a blend of Scotch whisky and hand-peeled zest of Navalino oranges, as well as cassia bark and cloves. Now while a great bourbon or whisky is a good choice for a nightcap, the Orangerie is just a great way to get out of your comfort zone and try something new. You can even say it is taking out two birds with one stone as it does have some digestivo tendencies. I hope this helps the decisions one must make when picking out that perfect after dinner drink. Just remember to think about which way you are leaning after a big meal. Do I need to keep the stomach growling monsters at bay? Is it that human need for sweetness that needs to be quelled? Or are you just looking for that perfect sipper to cap the night? Either way there are obviously more options to choose from than you saw here. It is merely a guideline to making the correct choice for what you need to walk away with one final thought,“Now that is how you end a meal.”<

Most simply put, QR codes are 2D codes which can be scanned using a smart phone to access information or take some sort of digital action. Tampa Style Magazine’s Concierge Guide created QR codes which links to our city guide, so that when you scan the code with your phone, you can view the guide pages, which include restaurants, golf, nightlife, fine hotels, etc., instantly finding them with the directions provided.
