| publisher’s letter | 

It was 16 Years ago this month that we were 

preparing the launch of what is now STYLE 

Magazine. We cannot believe how fast the time 

has gone! 

Since that first issue, we have produced 

more than 12 million publications (always using 

environmentally friendly 

paper and inks!), thousands 

of stories, profiles of local 

businesses, artists, nonprofits, 

people making a 

difference, restaurants 

and–well, the list goes on 

and on. And we are proud 

of all of it, just as we are 

proud of more than $3 

million that we’ve given 

back to the communities 

we serve in a host of ways. 

We are most proud of 

the content we produce– 

REAL editorial, not glowing 

stories of advertisers, but 

editorial written by our talented editorial staff and 

freelance writers. 

Fifteen years ago, we produced our first Readers’ 

Choice Awards issue, which was the community’s 

opportunity to vote on who they believe is the best. It is the 

single most read and referenced issue we produce each 

year and we owe a very special group of people special 

thanks for making this issue happen–you, our readers! 

Thousands of readers cast more than 120,000 votes 

for local businesses and organizations this year. It’s hard 

to believe how much this contest has grown and how 

much it means to the winners and to the readers who 

source this issue (both in print and online) when making 

all types of buying decisions every day. We are proud to 

say that our Readers’ Choice Awards is the largest awards 

contest of its type in the Sacramento region. What’s most 

important to our readers is knowing their votes count, 

we don’t choose winners because they are advertisers. 

We don’t choose the winners at all. This is truly a contest 

voted on by the readers alone. 

We want to take this opportunity to let you know how 

much we appreciate your readership and support of 

STYLE. And for all the winners who chose to say “thank 

you” for voting for them by placing an ad in our special 

section, well, we very much thank you, too! Congrats to 

each and every one of you! 

— All the Best,

WHAT’S 

YOUR 

BIGGEST 

PET 

PEEVE? 

Drivers not using their right or left 

turn signals. —Reg Holliday 

I cannot stand when people 

are not on time when we have 

plans to meet. Everyone’s time 

is so valuable and it should be 

respected. I always try to be a bit 

early too. —Kourtney Jason 

Bad drivers—especially those who 

don’t use their turn signal and those 

who think a stop sign is a mere 

suggestion. —Tara Mendanha 

When people watch Netflix videos 

in windowed mode. Full screen it or 

minimize it; don’t leave me hanging 

in digital limbo! —Ray Burgess 

Bad grammar and spelling. With spell 

check and The Google Machine, 

there's no excuse for incorrect 

grammar and spelling! I used to 

always correct my kids’ emails to 

me, which is probably the reason 

they no longer email me.

IN THE “OOPS, WE’RE ONLY HUMAN” DEPARTMENT 

Our September issue’s “Slice Advice” feature failed to 

mention the Mountain Mike’s located at 25075 Blue 

Ravine Road, Suite 150 in Folsom (in the Parkway Shopping 

Center). Stop by and try their delicious garlic knots 

and expansive salad bar, not to mention their Garlic 

Tuscan pizza...In the same feature, we incorrectly 

described the Veggie Pizza at Strings Café in 

Folsom (25035 Blue Ravine Road, Suite 120). This delicious 

pie is loaded with Italian chesses, broccoli, mushrooms, 

artichoke, bell peppers, olives, red and green 

onions, and Roma tomatoes atop a zesty red sauce. 

In September’s Introducing on Passport 2 Health 

Chiropractic, we misprinted the answer to “Fun Fact 

About Your Company.” Founder Devon Gaston DC, MS 

stated: “I call it a ‘co-op’—every board member and 

contributor (i.e. graphic designer, CPA, insurance agent, 

general contractor) is also a patient.” For more on the 

business, visit passport2health.co.

GET TO KNOW 

Erica Pope 

Rocklin resident Erica Pope remembers a 

childhood bustling with activity, especially 

cooking and cleaning—not for her family, 

but for others. “My parents were always 

doing community work and bringing people 

together,” she fondly recalls. Their example 

influenced Pope’s decision to go into the 

nonprofit field where she worked in fund 

development and community outreach 

for Eskaton Foundation, an organization 

that provides care and support services 

for seniors while giving caregivers time for 

themselves. “I loved feeling like I was making 

a difference in somebody’s life,” Pope 

shares. 

But Pope’s life took an unexpected turn 

when she had to stop working to care for 

a family member who was ill. At the same 

“We all have 

a social 

responsibility.” 

—Erica Pope 

time, she learned 

that she would need 

spinal surgery. Yet, 

Pope was eager 

to get back to the 

career she loved and 

after her recovery, 

she jumped at the 

chance to become the new Director of 

Development for the Me-One Foundation 

(me-onefoundation.org), a local nonprofit 

that funds an annual pampering weekend 

retreat in the Santa Monica mountains 

for adult cancer patients and their family 

members. Like many others, Pope has had 

family and friends affected by cancer and 

she knows how impactful such services can 

be. She’s also a mom of two who hopes to 

inspire her children to help others just as 

her own parents once did for her. “We all 

have a social responsibility,” Pope says. “The 

community gives so much to us and we 

should give back.” —Amber Foster 

Q&A 

What advice would you 

give to your younger 

self? 

Take care of your body 

and mind. They will either serve you well or 

catch up to you. Either way, what you do 

when you’re young will influence the rest of 

your life. 

What comes to you naturally? 

Public speaking. I love the challenge of 

engaging an audience and that moment 

when you know you have them. 

Are you high or low maintenance? 

I’m high maintenance when it comes to food, 

shoes, and coffee. But I’m low maintenance 

when it comes to vacations or entertainment. 

I’m content sitting around a campfire or 

playing board games. 

Biggest life inspirations? 

Both my mom and dad are incredibly 

remarkable and inspiring but my biggest life 

inspirations come from the journeys and stories 

of all the people I know and have yet to meet. 

Everyone has a story and a lesson if we take the 

time to listen. 

What are you most proud of? 

Keeping two children alive. I understand why 

wild animals occasionally eat their young. 

My children are 16 and 8 so anything is still 

possible. 

Favorite humanitarian cause? 

Cancer causes and hunger. My dad often went 

hungry as a child and the few stories he shared 

were heartbreaking. No one should ever have to 

experience that—especially children. 

Best words of wisdom you’ve received? 

“Always be on your best behavior when you 

are out and about. You never know who knows 

you or knows someone who knows you.”-Izetta 

Jansma (my grandmother)

“experience the brutality, greed, and filth that 

was the undead West.” Choose to traverse one 

of their four “haunts” and brace yourselves for 

a fright—or three. Scares aside, there’s also a 

fun carnival extravaganza, laser tag, haunted 

photo booths, antique saloon bar, and more.

A crazy, bloody theatrical experience is coming 

to get you with Sutter Street Theatre’s 

Evil Dead The Musical. Five college 

students go to an abandoned cabin in the 

woods and accidentally unleash an evil force 

that turns them all into demons. It’s all up 

to Ash and his trusty chainsaw to save the 

day. Blood flies, limbs are dismembered, and 

demons tell bad jokes—all to music. Grab a 

seat in the “[blood] splatter zone” and get 

ready for some zany fun. sutterstreettheatre. 

com/evil-dead-the-musical-2019

and lots more. The event is at the Folsom 

Police Department at Natoma Street on 

October 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. folsom.

Take a Hike 

AMERICAN RIVER CONSERVANCY 

BY EMILY PETER 

ask the experts 

Q: IS SHAVING EVERY DAY BAD FOR 

THE FACE? 

A: Shaving is excellent as it effectively 

exfoliates your skin. When you shave 

you are removing hair, dirt, oil, and also 

dead skin cells. Your skin never stops 

growing new cells and when the old 

cells die and stay on your skin, they lead 

to oil deposits, ingrown hairs, clogged 

pores, and dull skin. If you’re seeing 

irritation or bumps, consider your razor. 

Many men are switching to a straight 

razor due to razor burn. Using a straight 

razor takes practice, but you can get a 

great shave with only one pass causing 

less irritation. We recommend letting an 

expert show you the way, so it’s best to 

have a licensed barber deliver your first 

straight razor shave so they can safely 

introduce you to proper shaving.

Foresthill Bridge. 

Do you have a 

favorite trail in 

the region you’d like 

to see featured? 

Tell us all about it at 

info@stylemg.com. 

TRAINING HILL HIKE on 

October 11 from 1:30-5 

p.m. 

This very strenuous twoand-a-half 

hike will loop 

from Training Hill to one of 

the last legs of the Western 


States Trail where the first mile is almost straight 

up. At the top you’ll connect with the Pointed 

Rocks Trail (with good views of Lake Folsom 

and many pointed rocks) then descend on the 

Western States trail which is a beautiful shady 

trail with oaks, pines, cedars, and grasses, and 

two easy creek crossings. 

OLMSTEAD LOOP HIKE on October 18 from 9:30 

a.m. to 1 p.m. 

This is a five-mile loop hike off the southern 

section of the larger Olmstead Loop that will take 

you through predominantly blue oak woodlands 

to alongside one of the larger ponds. 

CRONAN RANCH HIKE on October 20 from 

8:30-11 a.m. 

Hike a challenging loop at the Cronan Ranch Trails

river, and the rolling prairie on this challenging fiveto-seven-mile 

hike with some elevation change. 

This hike is fit for those 10 years and older. 

Trail Notes: Wear shoes with traction, dress in 

layers, bring extra water and snacks, remember sun 

protection (hat, sunscreen), and, as always, pack out 

what you pack in. Remember to keep to the right.

Q: HOW DO I KNOW WHICH GROUP 

EXERCISE CLASSES ARE BEST FOR ME? 

A: Any class that inspires you to 

regularly attend is the best class for 

you. Once you begin, your group fitness 

instructor will be a pro at helping you 

get through the most challenging of 

classes. Week by week you will improve 

and get stronger and the class that 

seemed impossible the first time you 

attended won’t seem so difficult after 

several weeks. A few things to consider 

when choosing what’s best for you: 

-Determine the time of day that will 

work best for your schedule. 

-Decide what specific benefits you want 

to achieve from your workouts. If you 

are unsure what benefits each type of 

class provides, reach out to the Group 

Exercise Director for guidance. 

-Don’t worry so much about whether 

the workout may not be your level 

because your level will improve 

in a short time. You do need to be 

challenged if you want to continually 

see fitness improvements. 

-Give yourself several weeks to try 

several class types, instructors and time 

slots.

Bosom Buddies 

Five Local Breast Cancer Support Groups 

by JANET SCHERR 

Courage and strength triumph over adversity 

right here where we live. Breast cancer 

patients, survivors, and their families who 

have fought the disease have turned around to 

become founders, activists, and volunteers at these 

local breast cancer organizations. 

ALBIE AWARE 

Albie Aware Breast Cancer Foundation was created 

in 2004 by Doug Carson to honor his late wife, Albie. 

Tragically, Albie lost her battle with breast cancer and the 

foundation now aims to replace fear with facts. Since its 

founding, Albie Aware has provided assistance for diagnostic 

testing to thousands of women and men in the Sacramento 

area. “Along with testing, we serve as a go-to resource,” says 

Amanda C. Nelson, Executive Director of Albie Aware. “Our 

mission is to provide patient advocacy, prevention education, 

and compassionate support to local individuals facing or 

fighting breast cancer.” 

albieaware.org 

IMAGES OF HOPE (Serving El Dorado County) 

Glass art making, silk scarf painting, yoga practice, and 

equine therapy are just a few of the free classes offered 

by Images of Hope to those who have been impacted 

by cancer. Funded by the Marshall Foundation for 

Community Health, the activities provide a pleasurable respite 

from the stress that cancer patients and caregivers must deal 

with on a day-to-day basis. The classes are small and casual 

with local people from all walks of life. No prior experience 

in art or movement is required. Additionally, there is a breast 

cancer support group that meets monthly and most events 

are held at the Marshall Cancer Resource Center in Cameron 

Park. Images of Hope is also responsible for Pink in the Night 

during the month of October where downtown Placerville is 

illuminated with pink lights to symbolize the community’s 

united fight against cancer.

SAVE OURSELVES 

When a group of young women came together to support one another during 

their breast cancer treatment, the collaboration turned into an extraordinary 

friendship. That peer support became the prototype for Save Ourselves (SOS) Breast 

Cancer Organization, founded in 1991 by those same, strong cancer survivors. Today, 

its members and volunteers speak to civic groups, professional organizations, schools, 

workplaces, health clubs, legislators, and community events about breast health 

awareness. SOS also offers a variety of educational forums and fundraising events. 

save-ourselves.org 

GIRLS LOVE MAIL 

Words can be compelling, especially if they 

are written by hand. Girls Love Mail collects 

handwritten–and often artistic–letters 

of encouragement and delivers them to 

women who have been newly diagnosed 

with breast cancer. “I founded the charity 

in August of 2011 after receiving over 200 

letters, mostly from strangers, that helped 

in my healing from breast cancer,” says Gina 

Mulligan, founder of Girls Love Mail. “It’s 

such a simple, yet powerful way to provide comfort. People from around the country 

have joined in the cause and so far, we’ve sent letters to over 165,000 women!” 

girlslovemail.com 


PLACER BREAST CANCER FOUNDATION 

Breast cancer survivors and South Placer County residents Carol Garcia and Teri 

Munger formed the Placer Breast Cancer Endowment in 2005. The goal was to raise $1.5 

million to endow a Breast Cancer Chair at the U.C. Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center. 

“We reached that $1.5 million-dollar goal in 2014,” says Garcia, Board Chair. “But the 

fight had just begun; and 

now, as the Placer Breast 

Cancer Foundation, our 

volunteer-based group still 

works tirelessly to raise 

funds to fight breast cancer 

and promote education 

throughout the Placer and 

Sacramento County area.”

Spotlight on 

Folsom VYBE 

by HEATHER L. NELSON 

Photo by Dante Fontana. 

What began as a small team challenge to positively impact others, has grown 

into a large-scale musical celebration benefitting the Folsom community and 

the Twin Lakes Food Bank. On October 17, VYBE will arise at the Harris Center 

featuring a concert, commemorative album, fine food, craft beer, local wine, and more. 

The volunteer VYBE team consisting of leader Josh Bollen and members Todd Speelman, 

Taryn Grows, Jamison Hiebert, Greg Fuson, Robyne Cortes, Sarah Brown, Lisa Tuter, Jon 

Lee, and Jacob Renfro, aim to not only support Twin Lakes but also nourish the community 

at large. “Whenever we create connection between people, we decrease division,” shares 

Bollen. “We hope that through VYBE, there are thousands of connections made between 

people of all different walks of life.” 



HLN: HOW DID YOU CREATE THE VYBE 

CONCEPT? 

JB: VYBE started as a challenge to staff at Lakeside 

Church to do something that would inspire and 

encourage our community, and so the original 

group of three or four people started dreaming 

about the project. We all love music and the idea of 

a Folsom area compilation album quickly jumped 

to the top of our list. Then someone mentioned the 

idea of an album release party and the idea for VYBE 

was formed. Knowing we had to assemble some key 

community influencers, we invited several more 

onto the team. The energy at that first meeting was 

electric! 

HLN: HOW ARE YOU COLLABORATING 

WITH TWIN LAKES FOOD BANK? 

JB: We knew there had to be more purpose than 

just music—we also needed to give back to our 

community. Twin Lakes has a mission to nourish 

lives in our community and that’s a mission we 

could all support. They do this by providing basic 

needs of nutritious food and social assistance—while 

VYBE [carries out a similar mission] through the 

inspiration of the arts. We hope that through this 

partnership, there will be hundreds, if not thousands, 

of lives made better because of the resources raised. 

HLN: CAN YOU SHARE MORE EVENT 

DETAILS? 

JB: The evening at Harris Center kicks off with a 

VIP dinner provided by longtime Folsom staple, 

Visconti’s. There will be vendors and sponsors 

outside and in the lobby including album sales, 

VYBE merchandise, and photo opportunities, with 

every single dollar in profit going directly to Twin 

Lakes. The concert will then be held in the main 

auditorium featuring 10 bands throughout the 

evening. 

HLN: IN WHAT WAYS DO YOU HOPE TO 

NOURISH THE WHOLE COMMUNITY? 

JB: When you buy your ticket to VYBE you are 

supporting not only the music and the arts, but also 

the food bank. While the music will be diverse, the 

purpose is unified. We hope this sentiment is shared 

throughout all aspects of the event and that the 

album will be a reminder of that unity. Even bigger, 

VYBE wants to display what our little community is 

capable of when we work together. It doesn’t take a 

large corporation or millions to make a difference in 

the world—all it takes is using the resources that you 

have and giving them to others.

Book Club: 

What to Read This Month 

What’s Better 

Than This 

by Lorraine Salmon 

This is a true love story that will 

make you laugh and cry as if 

you’re part of their relationship. 

Lorraine and Mackey had a 

whirlwind romance filled 

with memories that were both 

beautiful and heartbreaking. 

Their 14-month story is one of 

love, dying, and living. 

Run Away 

by Harlan Coben 

A drug addict of a daughter leaves 

home and says she doesn’t want 

to be found. But one day her dad 

sees her in Central Park and begs 

her to come home. She runs and 

he follows her into her dangerous 

new world only to face things he 

never knew existed—just in order 

to save her. 

An Anonymous 

Girl 

by Greer Hendricks 

& Sarah Pekkanen 

Jessica Farris needs money and 

an opportunity seemingly falls 

into her lap. She signs up to be 

a test subject in a psychological 

study about ethics and morality. 

As the study progresses, Jessica 

starts to feel like the doctor in 

charge of the study knows what 

she’s thinking and feeling, and her 

actions are being manipulated in 

a deadly game that she needs to 

get out of.

Reading doesn’t have to be a solitary 

experience especially when you 

can find book clubs almost 

anywhere nowadays. They’re one 

of the most popular forms of 

adult socialization. And, there are 

benefits to joining one. First of all, 

it may help push you to finish a 

book. It’s easy to find other things 

to do but if you know you have 

to read a book by a certain date, 

being in a book club will help 

you focus on reading. Reading 

can reduce stress, improve 

mental stimulation, and improve 

memory. It makes you more 

knowledgeable and can improve 

vocabulary. Joining a book club 

can also help you make friends. 

So, where do you find a book club? 

You can either start your own with 

a group of friends or find one that is 

already formed by checking your local 

library, local book stores, or searching 

online.

Helping 

Hands 

Local Food Banks 

by JULIE RYAN 

According to the California Association of Food Banks, 

"1 in 8 Californian's struggles with food insecurity. Food 

insecurity is the occasional or constant lack of access 

to the food one needs for a healthy, active life." 

Food is vital for living and those who don’t get 

enough can suffer from physical and mental health problems. It can 

affect every aspect of their lives from school to work performance and 

home life. Hunger is not limited to certain people. Children, seniors, 

disabled, working poor, and people who are dealing with unexpected 

expenses can be affected. If you or someone you know is experiencing 

hunger, there is help.

YEARS WON! 

Thank you Style Readers for recognizing the unmatched 

quality that Mathnasium brings to math instruction in the 

greater Sacramento area! Starting with a single learning 

Center in Westwood, California, the Mathnasium method 

has spread to 1000 centers nationwide, including 10 

centers in and around Sacramento. So when you enroll 

your child in your local Mathnasium, you are part of a 

nationwide movement towards excellence in math for 

everyone! 

We teach basic math facts through first-year calculus in a 

friendly, fun environment where students earn prizes for 

working hard. An initial assessment determines exactly 

what a student knows about math and generates a 

detailed curriculum which can advance the student one 

grade level in just 10 weeks, at less than $10 per hour. 

All the student needs to do is show up (that’s on you, 

parents!) and try. We take care of the rest. 

Students don’t really hate math; what they hate is feeling 

left behind. Enrollment in Mathnasium can change all 

that, because when students succeed in math, their 

confidence soars! Parents are always surprised when 

their students beg to go to Mathnasium because it’s 

“fun”! So give your child a chance and enroll today at the 

Mathnasium Center nearest you!

one of the Best Doctors and Medical Practices in 

Folsom/ El Dorado Hills and Roseville & Granite Bay. 

Would you like a doctor who has time to address all

Who can run the latest in advanced lab testing 

to maximize your potential and increase your 

chances for prevention of serious illness? Our team 

of naturopathic doctors has helped thousands of 

people since 2009. While our doctors use many of

medical doctors our intention is to take care of the 

whole person, treating the cause of disease, not just 

the symptoms. 

With eight doctors, our expertise covers a wide 

range of health needs. We believe in a lasting doctorpatient

I would like to thank everyone for their vote for #1 Best Preschool 

4 years in a row, and continuing to trust us with your precious 

children. I love being part of this community and helping children 

learn and grow. My own journey began in the daycare preschool 

field because I was unhappy with the care and education I was 

receiving for my own children who are now 22, 19, 9, and 8. 

I have been blessed to have a large facility in El Dorado Hills 

where I employ 35 loving teachers and care for 200 children. 

We offer education and care for babies, Preschoolers, Pre-K, 

private Kindergarten, homework tutor club and transportation 

for school agers. Don’t be fooled by our large size, our teachers 

make each classroom homey and warm. It has been a bonus to 

be on an acre. The Gift of Kids outdoor area gives the kids space 

to explore, garden, and play on age appropriate playgrounds. 

The teachers at The Gift of Kids Daycare and Preschool include 

talent that brings us music, yoga, and even Spanish on a daily 

basis. Teachers here are all educated in child development, CPR 

and First Aid certified, and make it a priority to continue their 

education. Dance, soccer, and karate professionals also come 

to the school. 

Over the years, not only have we focused on love and education 

here at the school, but we have also been involved in sponsoring 

many local non-profit groups such as 3 Strands Global, American 

Cancer Society, Sports clubs, many local elementary through 

High Schools, Serrano Kids movie night, and even contributed 

to the Concerts in the Park at the CSD. 

When not at The Gift of Kids taking care of the school, 

my hobbies include running, boxing, hiking, coaching soccer, 

softball and basketball, and enjoying anything outdoors.

Looking for great Mexican cuisine in Folsom? There is a reason 

Mexquite has been named the regions #1 Mexican restaurant 

for 13 years in a row – it’s the food! Offering a vast menu of 

traditional dishes, Mexquite’s light shines brightest with their 

Sinaloa regional specialties such as Huachinango, a dish featuring 

shrimp and red snapper saute’ed with mushrooms, jalapenos, 

onions and tomato sauce. Also not to be missed are the chicken 

mole’ enchiladas. A close friend happens to be a bit of a mole’ 

connoisseur and tells me that Mexquite really gets it right! 

Offering Happy Hour Monday through Friday, and a great weekend 

breakfast menu (try the Chilaquiles Poblanos!). The atmosphere 

is always lively and the beautiful outdoor patio is a great place 

to unwind after the long workday. Upon being seated you 

are greeted to a basket of chips and salsa. The only way to 

describe this salsa would to call it addicting – made fresh daily, 

Mexquite salsa, like all the dishes, make the perfect To-Go item 

for parties, football watching or anytime you feel like eating 

award winning Mexican fare. Last but certainly not least – The 

margaritas are made with agave, lime juice and tequila – all 

natural and arguably, the best in town!

Christeen Reeg, a partner with Pacific Investment Consultants, is 

proud to be a part of the Placerville community. “I am genuinely 

pleased to be a part of this community,” she said. 

Reeg, who is a wealth manager/financial advisor, said she has 

lived and worked in the area for many years. 

“In 1973 we bought a pear ranch on Highway 49 and built the first 

red shack,” she said. “At the same time, I was working for Wells 

Fargo Bank on Placerville Drive. I was with the bank for several 

years, eventually becoming one of their managers.” 

After 20 years in banking, she began her career as an independent 

financial advisor in 1993. 

“I now have an office on Main Street by the Bell Tower and 

another office in Folsom,” she said. 

For Reeg, financial work has always been in her veins. Even as a 

child, she dreamed of working with money. 

“I’ve wanted to do this since I was ten years old,” she said. “Once 

I graduated from high school, I started working in banking and 

continued my education all the way through to get my graduate 

degree in banking. So it’s something that I’ve always been 

inspired to do – to help people realize their dreams.” 

Reeg, who lives in Cameron Park, is very involved in the community 

and serves on the Marshall Hospital Board. In the past, she served 

on the El Dorado Community Foundation Board, the Snowline 

Hospice Board and Los Rios Community College Foundation. 

Reeg would like her legacy to be that she made a difference in 

the lives of her family, clients, and the community. 

“Every day I pray for my faith to work through me so I may touch 

people’s lives. That’s what I live by,” she said.

in making it a usable

Brush Strokes Inc.

home received 

an upgrade that 

68 stylemg.com | SEPTEMBER OCTOBER 2019 2019| /stylemg /stylemediagroup /stylemediagroup /stylemags

transformed their kitchen into the focus of the home. 

The homeowners were eager to upgrade because of the 

possibilities. “The chance to take a cramped, dysfunctional, 

and dark space and make it into an efficient, light, and airy 

environment that the whole family could enjoy [was exciting],” 

shares Jane Reed, co-owner of Brush Strokes Inc. 

New cabinets, countertops, floors, lighting, appliances, and 

windows were all on the docket for this remodel. Dated oak 

cabinets and tiled countertops were replaced with bright, white 

cabinets featuring soft-closing drawers and doors, and a gorgeous 

white ice granite countertop. Cabinet organizers and rollouts 

were also installed to maximize space. Plenty of storage and a 

large island were a priority. “They wanted lots of storage, a large 

island that could fit all their grandchildren, and plenty of space 

for entertaining,” says Reed. The oven was moved, and a desk area 

removed to make way for floor-to-ceiling cabinetry; the island 

remodeled with an overhang allowing counter-height seating for 

eager onlookers. 

A glass and stone mosaic tiled backsplash was added to create 

contrast between the upper and lower cabinets, as well as dark, 

wood-effect porcelain tile for the flooring to balance the nowbright 

space. The homeowners kept their refrigerator which 

inspired the black faucet and single bowl black sink that sits 

below the newly raised window. The kitchen was finished with 

new appliances (range, hood, dishwasher, and microwave) and 

downlights, and was totally transformed into a welcoming hub of 

the home. “[We are] very happy with this project and glad that the 

homeowners are thrilled with their new kitchen,” shares Reed.

Wish You 

Were Here

Whitewashed buildings. Shimmering seas. Head-turning 

ancient architecture. This is the Greece you see in 

textbooks and on TV, but it’s so much more, too. 


APIVITA 

Experience 

Store 

Hotel Grande Bretagne The Greece I 

experienced on my late 

winter, off-season trip 

meant meeting locals 

who are proud of their 

heritage but remain 

humble, a slow-paced, 

enviable lifestyle that’s 

all too easy to adapt 

to, and landscapes 

that reach far beyond beaches. The postcard-perfect Mediterranean 

country—comprised of thousands of islands and often called the 

“cradle of Western civilization”—stole a piece of my heart and only 

a fraction of my money (prices are extremely fair when it comes to 

Europe) but left me longing to return. 

Interested in planning your own Grecian getaway? Follow my guide 

for tips on what to see and do and where to stay.

ATHENS 

Hip, historic, enterprising, energetic. Welcome to Greece’s storied 

capital city. The large metropolis—and one of the world’s oldest—is 

home to just under one million people with a perfect mix of glam 

and grunge. Strolling through one of the myriad neighborhoods, 

expect to see sun-bleached ruins nestled next to modern 

infrastructure and a surplus of side streets splashed in mesmerizing 

murals. 

STAY 

For those who want to sleep in the lap of luxury: 

Hotel Grande Bretagne pulls out all the stops. Sited next to 

Syntagma Square smack dab in the city center, this five-star property 

built in 1842 boasts Old World opulence, state-of-the-art amenities, 

and plush décor that’ll make you feel like royalty. Breakfast on the 

rooftop garden is a meal worth waking up for—think fresh-squeezed 

juices, expertly crafted espresso drinks, and scratch-made Greek 

and Western fare. 

If you want to experience authentic Greek hospitality: 

St. George Lycabettus Hotel is your spot. Set away from the main

tourist crowd, amongst the pine-forested 

slopes of Lycabettus Hill and next to 

the leafy streets of Athen’s upscale area, 

Kolonaki, the boutique, family-run

elegant ambiance, and breathtaking 

views. From a complimentary welcome 

massage (on my stay) to an onsite cinema, 

art gallery, rooftop pool, and restaurant, 

there’s plenty to keep guests engrossed.

alongside an entertaining, informative 

guide.

The APIVITA Experience Store and its

calm the body and mind, thanks to their 

unique series of holistic, natural, and 

effective treatments that are inspired 

by the Hippocratic philosophy, Greek 

nature, the power of aromatherapy, 

and the deep knowledge of precious 

bee products. Following your facial, 

enjoy a cold-pressed juice and peruse

Throughout the entertaining session, 

you’ll try four indigenous varieties of

how to select, taste, appreciate, and 

integrate the nutritional treasure into 

your daily life.

like cherry-smoked baby lamb; and 

aged meats that melt in your mouth. 

For those who appreciate a good pun 

(and wholesome, high-quality comfort 

food), Nice n Easy is a must. From “The 

Paul Newman” (a Caesar salad with a 

Mediterranean twist) to “The Marvin Gaye” 

(minced buffalo meatballs with yogurt 

and mint) and “The Marlon Brando” 

(organic beef burger with cheddar, 

caramelized onions, coleslaw, and pickles 

on brioche), it’s a taste of Hollywood in 

one of Athen’s most high-end ‘hoods. 

NAFPLIO 

The stunning seaport village of Nafplio, 

the original capital of Greece and thought 

to be one of the country’s most romantic 

destinations, is located just under two 

hours from Athens on the Peloponnese 

peninsula and offers idyllic scenery with 

easy access to renowned ruins. Often 

3sixty Hotel and Suites 

dubbed the “Naples of the East,” expect a 

stunning coastline dotted with waterfront 

cafés, unforgettable fortresses (including 

Palamidi, which towers 999 steps above 

the city), and narrow, cobblestone-studded 

alleyways brimming with blooming 

bougainvillea. 

STAY 

For an intimate boutique inn that 

exudes elegance: 

3sixty Hotel and Suites is a refurbished 

neoclassical house from the 19th century 

that holds tight to its past but has been 

updated with all the amenities you’d 

expect from a present-day property.

PARK & FLY 

If your flight departs from SFO, 

save yourself the headache and 

hassle of long-term airport parking 

by booking a stay at AC Hotel San 

Francisco Airport/Oyster Point 

Waterfront. In addition to bay views, 

modern architecture, and ample 

amenities (including an indoor pool), 

the property provides free parking 

and shuttle service to and from the

morning, head next door to the onsite restaurant for a made-toorder 

breakfast featuring the most perfect pancakes and buzzworthy 

coffee. 

DO 

Get to know Nafplio 

Learn the lay of the land while seeing the city’s major sites and 

hearing the stories behind them with LandLife Travel’s 

City Walking Tour—a two-hour stroll with a licensed leader 

that takes you through Nafplio’s most beloved buildings, past the 

picturesque port and promenade, and down the scenic side streets.

“Seas” the day 

A trip to Greece really wouldn’t be complete with at least one island 

adventure. And though the majority of visitors will immediately flee 

to Mykonos or Santorini, a trip to the affluent island of Spetses—a 

car-free, carefree place that’s rich in history (it was the first of the 

Greek islands to raise the flag of Revolution on April 3, 1821), teeming 

with tavernas, and relatively untouched by tourists—is well worth 

the short drive and ferry ride. 

Step way back in time 

On your drive back to Athens, it’s imperative you stop at two of of 

the country’s most popular and significant archaeological sites: 

Epidaurus—known for its ancient theatre that’s thought to represent 

the finest and best-preserved examples of a classical Greek theatre 

with exceptional acoustics—and Mycenae—a fortified, late Bronze 

Age citadel that was once the largest and most important center of 

civilization.

“IT’S UNFATHOMABLE THAT THE REPUGNANT MINIATURE 

CABBAGE OF MY YOUTH HAS BEEN REFORMATTED INTO A 

MOUTHFUL OF SAVORY DELICIOUSNESS.” 

HOURS: 3-9 p.m. (Wednesday- 

Sunday) 

TRY THIS: Pulled pork terrine, 

French burger, crispy Brussels 

sprouts, Hangtown burger, 

BBQ albacore tuna, ginger 

shrimp 

Top to bottom: Brussel Sprouts, Ice-cream 

Sandwich, Kobe “Hangtown” Burger, Pulled 

Pork Terrine 

DRINKS: Beer and wine 

TAB: $$ 

HEADS UP: Outdoor dining, 

happy hour specials, local 

beer and wine, game room 

for kids, dog-friendly (outside 

seating) 

Can you keep a secret? If I told you there is a 

place to get upscale New American cuisine 

with a French twist at one-half to one-third 

the price of, well, anywhere, could I trust you 

not to tell anyone? I didn’t think so; and that’s just what 

owners John and Lynette Evans of Brewhouse at Jackz 

like to hear. 

Chef and owner John’s considerable knowledge 

and skills showcase his menu, bringing locally-sourced, 

house-made delights from charcuterie and appetizers 

to entrées and desserts. I started with the crispy 

Brussels sprouts. It’s unfathomable that the repugnant 

miniature cabbage of my youth has been reformatted 

into a mouthful of savory deliciousness. Served with 

a trio of house-made sauces (mustard, ranch, and 

black bean aioli) they’re a must-try. I also sampled the 

pulled pork terrine—a charcuterie presentation of 

roast pork that’s pulled, chopped, pressed into a terrine, 

refrigerated, sliced and served on a butcher block with 

bread, pickled cherries, and a mouth-watering red 

onion jam. 

During a conversation with Chef John, the topic 

turned to the exceptional measures his beef and pork 

vendors employ to bring the highest quality, humanely 

grown, and processed product to market. This includes 

the American Kobe (Wagyu) used in their burgers. From 

there we segued to the main entrée(s). First, 

beef cheeks that were slow-braised and served 

with port wine, and demi-glace reduction, 

and topped with pickled cherries, alongside a 

perfect swirl of mashed potatoes. 

I don’t eat many hamburgers—blasphemy, 

I know, in this day of the fried-egg-kimchiavocado-Spam-Bánh 

mi-vegetable-porkbelly-and-brisket 

pantheon of burgers, but 

they’re usually not up to the hype. So after 

our previous conversation I decided I’d give 

the Kobe “Hangtown” burger a try. Fairly 

straightforward, it came with thick-cut bacon, 

lettuce, cheddar, a little pickled jalapeño, and 

house-made pickle as the only accouterments. 

The flavor, juiciness, and texture of the Kobe 

beef, filled me with a renewed enthusiasm for 

the classic American creation. 

After nibbling for an eternity on a massive 

ice cream sandwich, I relented and asked for 

the check. Which, upon its arrival, left me with 

a distinct sense of reverse sticker shock. 

Brewhouse at Jackz “specializes in New 

American food and El Dorado craft beer and 

wine,” say owners Lynette and John. And remember, 

a secret is something you only tell your friends—and 

now I’m telling you.

Sutter Station Sweets & Café // I found the cutest 

café in Folsom! Adorable inside and out, it’s one of those places where you feel at 

home as soon as you walk in. Once you take in the charming setting, you can focus 

on the enticing menu—breakfast and lunch paninis, scones, cinnamon rolls, and 

cookies bigger than your head. Seriously. Everything is baked in-house and all of it looks 

so yummy. I ordered the breakfast burrito which happens to be their most popular 

breakfast item. It was filled with bacon (or sausage if you please), scrambled egg, seasoned 

potatoes, cheddar cheese, and a tasty sriracha sour cream all wrapped nicely in a fresh made tortilla. 

My 10-year-old daughter had, in her words, “the best hot chocolate I’ve had in a long time.” I also bought a Chinese chicken salad 

to go so I’d have something to look forward to for lunch. Yep, it was good, too. They also have chicken Caesar salad, spinach 

salad, and the Station Salad, which has mixed greens, fresh tomatoes, bacon, dried cranberries, and sweet pecans. Honestly, 

I don’t think you could go wrong with any choice on their menu. Other menu items include grilled PB&J, coffees and teas, and, 

of course, cookies bigger than your head! 300 Reading Street, Folsom, 916-467-7070 —Julie Ryan
