Summer is easily the most leisurely of seasons. Boundaries dissolve and bleed into each other the way the calendar warps, slowing towards the crescendo of Labor Day and then onto to crisper weather thereafter. This is the typical time when everyone starts reflecting on the last days of summer and begins to lament about our upcoming “Chicago Freeze”. I tend to get off track during the summer months when I am taking vacation, celebrating summer holidays, and attending barbecues, weddings and birthday parties, and it seems as if those things always hold precedence over work. I have to admit I’m somewhat glad summer is over. There is no question that I enjoy the warmth and all the attractions that come with it, but I have to admit that during the summer it seems like everyone is moving in slow motion. And I’m just as guilty of this as anyone. Like me, I bet many of you are wondering where the three quarters of the year went, and how you’re going to accomplish your New Year’s resolutions (Remember those?) and other goals you set at the start of the year, by December 31st! Don’t worry there is plenty of time still. We are entering a season where we cram what feels like a full calendar year into a slim 4 month. So as we complete “our end of summer issue” (marking almost a full year) I’m looking over the content and marveling at the cover story with Edyta Śliwińska, along with all the wonderful contributors who make REVIA possible and how the magazine has grown since our first issue. We have an amazing team here and seeing this progression has gotten me out of my summer funk and is driving me to continue to grow this wonderful magazine and offer more content to the ever growing next generation of Poles. Thank you all for your feedback and we hope you will continue this journey with us. Karl wrobel general manager With the end of summer in sight, many of you may already be making exciting plans for fall by dreaming up little minivacations to embark on, or shuffling through your closet in search of that favorite autumn outfit to wear for a long-awaited party or family gathering. Fall stirs up nostalgic childhood flashbacks filled with pumpkin patches, long walks in the park, beer festivals and cozy gatherings with family over dinner. In this issue, we wanted to note that fall can also be a great time to appreciate wellness: our own, those of others, and just the sense of wholesomeness in general. One thing I’ve noticed lately is the trend for people to take better care of not only themselves, but others too, in this collective kind of approach to wellness. As social creatures, we’re constantly sharing valuable bits of information on wellness with one another, drawn from daily experiences, the internet, or even the numerous social platforms we use on a consistent basis. Basically, we’re all experiencing an increase in empathy – a positive thing, and as a result, a more collective meaning of wellness is arising. Our altruistic urge and passion to help others eat smarter, exercise more, and have a deeper overall awareness of health is gradually becoming the social “norm”. And this is simply awesome. So, as we step into fall and try to appreciate the meaning of wellness, as it continually evolves into a mutually shared experience and phenomenon, we at REVIA would like to celebrate all the unique sides of you. Remember, there is no “right” path to wellness; each person carves and follows their own road. So take a moment of pride for all you do to help yourself and others EVERYDAY…. and enjoy our special end-ofsummer issue!! 18 34 06 -- Contributors 08 -- marco Foster’s 5th annual “white Party” 10 -- dar serca boat Cruise 11 -- Pma summer ball 2015 12 -- 2nd annual miami in Chicago 14 -- musiC: top Female Vocal tracks 16 -- dr irv’s health tips 18 -- Polish entrepreneurs: marek janus 20 -- edyta Śliwińska: beyond dancing with the stars 24 -- ask an eye doctor 26 -- Pma library Centennial Celebration 27 -- polish cities: stary sącz 28 -- Fga: Corinne meier 30 -- ask a balanced babe 31 -- memoirs of a model: garden of Flavor 32 -- breaking barriers with allison sima 33 -- ask anita : relationship reality 312 34 -- supper with sylvia perez 36 -- make-up tips 38 -- la mode 38 26 stay healthy and insPirational, moniCa doleCKa managing editor 4 revia reviamagazine.com #11, 2015
