Glencoe 150: Looking back 

on a year of celebration 

In looking back on 2019 and the Village 

of Glencoe’s Sesquicentennial year, 

it’s hard to imagine how any more excitement 

and community pride could have 

been packed into 12 short months. Festivities 

orchestrated by the Sesquicentennial 

Planning Committee, in partnership with 

Glencoe’s many community organizations, 

invited community members of all 

ages and interests to partake in the Sesquicentennial 

through education, celebration, 

participation and appreciation. 

From the celebration kick-off at Light 

the Lights last November, to honoring 

community members past and present at 

the Glencoe 150 Hall of Fame Recognition 

Dinner, to a musical all about Glencoe 

written and produced by the creative 

minds at Writers Theatre, to a bigger and 

better Fourth of July, to a once-in-a-lifetime 

chance to play nine-holes at each of 

Glencoe’s three golf courses in one outing, 

to the Glencoe 150 Gala at the worldclass 

Chicago Botanic Garden — it has 

been a momentous year. 

Beyond these events, the community 

was inspired to give back through District 

35’s We Care for Our World Service 

Day and the Glencoe Park District’s 

Big-Hearted Bowls Project, while also 

learning more about our history through 

the Glencoe Historical Society’s panel 

discussions, historical article series, Sesquicentennial 

Exhibit and Open Doors 

Glencoe. The Village is truly grateful for 

the many volunteers and community organizations 

that made such an inclusive, 

creative celebration possible; thank you to 

all those involved. 

To round out a landmark year, the Sesquicentennial 

Planning Committee and 

Glencoe Chamber of Commerce invite 

you to join us for one last hurrah: Light 

the Lights from 4-7 p.m. Nov. 29. 

Spend your evening in downtown Glencoe 

welcoming the holiday season with 

the Village’s annual tree lighting ceremony, 

shopping specials, a Wine and Beer 

Stroll, a visit from Santa and his reindeer, 

trackless train rides and more. 

The Village would like to thank BMO 

Harris Bank and @properties for helping 

to make these enhanced festivities possible 

again this year! Pre-order your Wine and 

Beer Stroll cups and learn more about the 

event at www.glencoe150.org. 

As the Sesquicentennial draws to a 

close, the Sesquicentennial Planning 

Committee hopes that you look back on 

2019 with nothing but fond memories and 

that you enter 2020 with a renewed sense 

of pride in Our Town Glencoe!

Torino Ramen 

introduces experimental 

dishes to popular fare 

The No. 1 ramen place 

in the North Shore is lively 

open and Torino just completed 

its new expansion. 

Torino Ramen is a Japanese 

spot known for its variety 

of savory hearty ramen 

noodle bowls and other 

classic Japanese gourmet 

dishes. Torino Ramen is 

proud to announce our expansion 

of Bar Torino now 

being open. The expansion 

next door includes a much 

larger seating area along 

with a new full-service bar 

including beer, wine, cocktails, 

spirits and of course 

sake! Come by after work 

for a quick bowl of Ramen 

and a fresh sip of beer. 

We are also excited to 

announce our Kaiseki Torino 

Experiential Dinner 

that several couples have 

already enjoyed claiming, 

“One of the best dining 

experiences I have had in 

over a year.” The goal with 

our Kaiseki Torino dinner 

is to allow our customers 

to have full authentic Japanese 

experience with a variety 

of platters that would 

take the traditional hallmarks 

of Kaiseki for the 

master Japanese progressive 

dinner experience. 

It’s truly a one of a kind 

food experience. We hope 

to have you join us for a 

night of Kaiseki Torino, 

the Japanese progressive 

dining experience, featuring 

a seasonally-inspired 

menu prepared by Kaiseki 

Master Chef Yuji Hayashi 

and served in an intimate 

candlelit setting. 

Torino Ramen is genuinely 

the best bowl of ramen 

outside of Tokyo, 

Japan. We hope to see as 

many of you guys in the 

near future! Come stay 

warm with us during Ramen 

Season! We are delighted 

for you to check 

out Torino Ramen, our 

new Bar Torino, and our 

Kaiseki Torino Events. 

Torino Ramen opened in 

early 2017 with three Japanese 

natives who shared 

the common goal. It was 

created with one mission in 

mind to create authentic and 

hearty ramen for the Windy 

City’s North Shore. At Torino, 

we have always taken 

pride in what we make as 

it represents our childhood 

and where we came from in 

Japan. Ultimately bringing 

the taste and feel of Japenese 

culture over to the suburbs 

of Chicago. 

Torino is the brainchild 

of Chikako and her partners, 

Tomoko and Chika, 

who fell in love with Japan 

and its vibrant ramen 

scene. Torino’s iconic flavorful 

taste started with 

recipes created in their 

family kitchens and they 

perfected the perfect noodle 

bowl through a dozen 

customizations of personal 

tastes and preferences 

keeping the traditions of 

authentic food made with 

love and integrity.

Guide to the gifts that keep on giving 

in Wilmette, Kenilworth with Wilmette-onomics 

Did you know that over $5 

million dollars from local sales 

are reinvested back into the

streets, lighting, signage and 

public safety to name a few. 

That’s 5 million reasons to skip 

online ordering and shop, eat 

and explore locally this holiday 

season. Wilmette business owners 

have pride in our town and 

provide expertise, personalized 

service and unique merchandise. 

The holiday shopping season is 

a great opportunity to take a big

and raise that number! Keep 

a look out for a special gift with

Wilmette-onomics shopping

and the beautiful lights on the 

trees come up, enjoy one of the 

many great dining choices; Pescadero, 

Depot Nuevo, Napolita, 

Nick’s or Valley Lodge to name 

a few. Then catch a movie while 

sipping wine at The Wilmette 

Theatre (did you know it’s a notfor-profit?). 

Trying to buy for the person 

who has everything? Gift cards 

are always a favorite holiday 

gift - think about the many hair 

salons, nail spas and yoga studios 

we have in town that would 

make for the perfect stocking 

stuffers or teacher gifts. Or send

Morning Glory Flower Shop or 

Wilmette Flowers.

Day Weekend! Early-bird discounted 

tickets are on sale for 

Winnetka residents. 

In just three years, The Winnetka 

Music Festival, part of 

the Valslist Live Event Series, 

has established itself as one of 

the country’s premier boutique 

festivals on the summer music 

circuit. Booking some of the 

world’s top emerging artists 

(many who have graced the stages 

of Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, 

late night TV, and radio/film) 

music curator Val Haller brings 

a diverse lineup of genres across 

two main stages, a family stage, 

and an intimate chapel stage.

VIP experience, some of Chicago’s 

top food trucks and popular 

offerings from local restaurants. 

For Winnetka residents only: 

An exclusive earlybird ticket 

sale price is being offered 

through Jan. 15. Because Winnetka

and parks, a 40 percent discount 

for general admission tickets is 

being offered to residents for

gift. 

After Jan. 15, tickets will be 

available to the public at standard

Being able to say, “I saw them 

when…” is the best takeaway 

from the Winnetka Music Festival. 

In recent years, attendees 

have had front row access to 

quickly rising artists like Spencer 

Ludwig, currently featured 

in national commercials for Target 

& Royal Caribbean; Low 

Cut Connie, top pick at Bonnaroo; 

John Splithoff & The New 

Respects, who rocked the stage 

at Lollapalooza; Billy Strings, 

named by Rolling Stone magazine 

as one of the top bluegrass 

artists not to miss; Alex Guthrie, 

a Top 20 contender on Team John 

Legend in the current season of 

The Voice; and jazz savant Emmet 

Cohen, awarded elite recognition 

with the American Pianist 

Award and Cole Porter Fellow. 

The Winnetka Music Festival 

is a great way to kick off 

the summer and support the fest 

which is primarily funded by private 

donations and sponsors, in 

addition to support from the Village 

and Park District. 

Your ticket purchase will also 

allow the fest to continue its 

philanthropic support of The All 

Stars Project, a developmental 

performance-based program for 

inner city youth. Last year in 

addition to making a contribution, 

the festival showcased the 

youngest All Stars performers, 

hip-hop act Brothers on a Mission 

on the Fields Family Stage. 

And a bonus: The Winnetka 

Music Festival is bridging the 

fall/winter months with live concerts 

in the Winnetka Chapel to 

keep the music coming and expand 

awareness of the festival.

North Shore Pizza Company opens 

for business in Northfield Square 

Everyone is really excited 

to have pizza back 

in Northfield. 

So said North Shore 

Pizza Company’s coowner 

Doug Denenberg, 

who operates the new 

Northfield Eatery with 

his brother, Todd, both of 

Northbrook. 

The new business occupies 

the former Viccino’s 

Pizza location at 

300 Happ Road in Northfield 

Square. The space is 

familiar since the Denenberg 

family is the founder 

of Viccino’s: however, 

they did not operate this 

Northfield location. 

“Everyone who has 

been coming in has been 

really excited to have 

pizza back in Northfield,” 

Doug previously 

told 22nd Century Media. 

“We are the only place 

that is specifically pizza 

(in Northfield).” 

“The restaurant used to 

concentrate on pizza and 

sandwiches,” he added. 

“Since then we’ve expanded 

the kitchen and 

we make all sorts of pastas; 

all our sauces are 

homemade.” 

Todd personally said 

there are so many options 

now that his go-to-dish 

depends on his mood. 

Some of his favorites 

include the thin crust 

Windy City pizza, which 

has Italian beef and your 

choice of sweet peppers 

or hot giardiniera peppers. 

He also likes the 

deep dish Venetian style 

with spinach, sausage onion 

and artichoke hearts.

catering and Holiday orders, 

including lunch or

Rose Hall continues mission to educate the whole child 

Rose Hall Montessori School 

has been educating young children 

for over 30 years ago. 

Based on the philosophy and 

educational methods of Maria 

Montessori, Rose Hall’s mission 

is to educate the whole child 

by providing a stimulating and 

nurturing environment that allows 

children to grow socially, 

emotionally and intellectually. 

The ultimate goal is to help children 

reach their highest potential 

and gain a lifelong enthusiasm 

for learning. This holistic focus 

is still at the heart of Rose Hall 

Montessori School today. 

At Rose Hall the priority is 

to help each child become the 

person that he/she is meant to 

become; to develop a strong 

sense of self and confidence. 

The teachers and staff work hard 

to provide a supportive, caring, 

peaceful environment in which 

young children feel safe to explore, 

grow, learn and become 

independent. 

Academically, the classroom 

is separated into 5 key curricular 

areas – Practical Life, Sensorial, 

Math, Language and Cultural. 

The core Montessori principals 

of order, coordination, concentration 

and independence are priorities 

throughout the classroom. 

At Rose Hall they believe that 

the development of these core 

executive functioning skills will 

assist in building lifelong learning 

skills. 

In addition to the 5 core areas 

the curriculum is enhanced with 

a variety of additional units including 

botany, art, music, the 

5 senses and more. Each unit is 

taught with a hands-on approach 

– even down to creating a large 

art studio in the gym for Jackson 

Pollack Day. 

In addition to all of these rich 

learning opportunities, French is 

taught weekly, and yoga is offered 

once a month. Every day 

begins with student and teachers 

greeting each other, followed 

by work time and typically ends 

with a fun line time with songs, 

dancing and peace curriculum. 

Gross motor play is an important 

component of every day 

as well. 

While the school takes academic 

rigor seriously, it recognizes 

that there are other equally 

important life skills that are 

formed and cultivated in very 

early childhood years such as 

patience, humility, empathy and 

compassion. A strong emphasis 

is placed on Maria Montessori’s 

passion for peace and community. 

The teachers invest a lot of 

group class time, called “Line 

Time” or “Peace Circle”, in helping 

the children address issues 

of compassion, conflict, respect 

and problem solving. Rose Hall 

teachers believe that fostering 

an environment of peace in the 

classroom not only aids the children’s 

academic success but also 

enables them to begin the long 

work of becoming responsible, 

respectful and loving members 

of our communities. 

Rose Hall recognizes that 

every child brings his/her own 

unique personality and talents 

and therefore, the teachers don’t 

try to enact a one-size-fits-all 

approach to their learning. The 

teachers observe the children 

intently so that they understand 

how the children react, what motivates 

them, what areas need to 

focus on. 

Rose Hall’s classrooms are a 

place where your child can feel 

at home, feel loved, and feel the 

freedom to explore and grow.

Give the gift of camp with Harand Camp of the Theatre Arts 

One, Three, and Six- 

Week Overnight Camp 

Options for Ages 7-18 

The renowned Harand 

Camp of the Theatre Arts, 

located on the campus 

of Carthage College in 

Kenosha, presents another 

summer of theater, fun 

and friendship in 2020. 

To register, or for more 

information, contact 847- 

864-1500, harandcamp@ 

gmail.com or visit www. 

harandcamp.com. 

Established in 1955, Harand 

Camp was one of the 

first residential camps to 

combine musical theater 

with the fun of traditional 

camp life. Located on the 

beautiful campus of Carthage 

College in Kenosha, 

Harand offers performing 

arts training for campers 

ages 7 to 18, plus sports, 

activities, and camp fun 

in a supportive, family environment. 

Sessions run 

one, three, or six weeks 

and culminate with largescale 

performances in a 

400-seat, state-of-the-art 

theater. 

In preparation for 

shows, campers take daily 

classes in singing, dancing, 

and acting with occasional 

evening rehearsals. 

Harand Camp adheres to 

a non-competitive philosophy 

where “no man is an 

island” and EVERYONE 

is a STAR. It is the goal 

for everyone to develop 

performance skills while 

also building self-confidence. 

Harand is a second 

home to thousands of alums 

worldwide who have 

built lifelong friendships 

and cherished memories. 

During the first threeweek 

session (June 21 – 

July 12) campers perform 

in a major musical revue 

featuring the entire camp. 

Each group stars in two 

sections of non-stop singing 

and dancing wearing 

amazing costumes. During 

the second three-week session 

(July 13 – August 2) 

each age group prepares 

a full-length musical with 

every camper performing a 

lead role and in the ensemble 

– ensuring everyone 

has the chance to shine. 

Campers may also attend 

for six weeks (June 

21 – August 2) or a unique 

one-week session (June 

21 – 27) exclusive to new 

campers, ages 7-12. This 

option is perfect for children 

who have never been 

away from home. Space in 

the one-week program is 

very limited. 

In addition to the theatre 

program, campers take 

three electives per day. 

Options include a variety 

of sports, fitness, fine arts 

and activity classes as well 

as additional performing 

arts and production electives. 

Every evening features 

an exciting schedule 

of cabin nights, events, 

all-camp games, concerts 

and trips bowling, skating, 

or to a local entertainment 

park. 

Campers also enjoy the 

comfort of modern facilities, 

residing in dorms 

overlooking Lake Michigan. 

Delicious meals are 

served in a renovated dining 

hall with an extensive 

menu by Sodexo. Accommodations 

can be made 

for special dietary needs. 

Other amenities include: 

Olympic-size pool, 

dance & fitness center, 

on-campus security, nurse, 

low camper/staff ratio, and 

ACA Accreditation (Program 

Excellence Award). 

Harand Camp strives to 

make the camp experience 

affordable for all families 

and offers a variety of discounts, 

payment plans and 

scholarships. Need-based 

scholarships are awarded 

through the Harand Camp 

Scholarship Fund, a 501c3 

organization.

YogaSix is coming to Plaza del Lago in December 2019 

YogaSix is changing the way 

people think and experience 

yoga. We believe that everyone 

deserves the mind-body experience 

of yoga and YogaSix delivers 

that experience by connecting 

students to a practice that 

is energizing, empowering and 

fun! Our studio isn’t exclusive 

or elitist but rather is a concept 

truly meant for everyone. You 

don’t have to be a yoga expert to 

experience and enjoy YogaSix. 

YogaSix delivers life-enhancing 

benefits through six core 

classes. Each class is exactly 

what you make of it – from a 

beginner to someone seeking a 

recovery experience to more advanced 

students. 

Y6 101: EVERYONE STARTS 

SOMEWHERE 

Maybe you’re brand new to 

yoga or looking for a way to 

ease back into your practice. 

These classes will develop your 

strength, flexibility, comfort level 

and stamina as you challenge 

your body and mind. 

Y6 Restore: CALLING ALL 

ATHLETES, TOO MUCH TIME 

AT THE DESK-ERS AND NEVER 

QUITTERS 

Whether you’re training for a 

half-marathon, pushing weights, 

or stuck behind a desk all day, 

Y6 Restore is for you. These 

classes emphasize floor postures 

to stretch, open and release the 

major muscle groups of the entire 

body. Students who take this 

class regularly report fewer injuries, 

improved sleep and reduced 

aches and pains. 

Y6 Slow Flow: DIVE INTO 

DEEPER FOCUS 

These classes flow at a slowed 

down pace so there’s time to 

explore individual postures and 

transitions. Students can build 

confidence and familiarity, and 

refine the fundamentals of alignment. 

You will gently engage, 

open and strengthen the body. 

Y6 Hot: COME HYDRATED AND 

READY TO SWEAT 

Our heated practice room 

will leave you feeling detoxed 

and invigorated. The YogaSix 

signature set sequence, Y6 Hot, 

combines yoga postures synched 

with your breath, a fun and challenging 

balancing series, and dynamic 

core work designed to add 

energizing fire to your life. Y6 

Hot will leave you feeling perfectly 

balanced inside and out, 

from bottom to top. 

Y6 Power: FULL BODY BLAST 

These classes are heated, 

strength building, full-body 

blasts designed to build focus, 

endurance and flexibility. These 

vinyasa classes move at a steady 

pace to keep your practice fluid, 

creative and energizing. Y6 

Power facilitates breakthroughs 

in body and mind, so count on 

leaving with a sense of energy 

and empowerment. 

Y6 Sculpt & Flow: PERFECT 

BLEND OF YOGA AND WEIGHT 

TRAINING 

A dynamic yoga warm-up 

will get your heart-rate up and 

muscles warm, before you dive 

into an intense, cross training 

workout that uses dumbbells, 

bands and body weight exercises 

to challenge muscular strength, 

endurance and cardiovascular 

thresholds. Then cool down with 

some yoga stretches. The best of 

both worlds – a total body workout 

plus a killer yoga vibe. Expect 

a fun playlist and high energy 

music throughout. 

We’re thrilled to be opening 

in Plaza del Lago! Your mat is 

waiting.

Schaefer’s Wines, Foods & Spirits has 

been ‘setting the bar’ since 1936 

A North Shore institution 

as long as anybody 

remembers, Schaefer’s 

Wines & Spirits ages like 

a treasure bottled of wine. 

Located on its iconic Old 

Orchard and Gross Point 

Roads corner, Schaefer’s 

is the first stop when it’s 

time to party, celebrate or 

commemorate. 

Schaefer’s beverage 

history dates back to the 

John Schaefer tavern on 

High Ridge in Wilmette 

during to the late 1890s. 

After prohibition, George 

Schaefer operated the 

Boundary Tavern at its 

current location. Since 

then, the store has garnered 

a national reputation 

for wines, foods &, 

most importantly, unparalleled 

service. 

The store’s third generation 

president, Anje 

Schaefer Cluxton, comments: 

“In an age of big 

boxes, we stay true to 

customer service excellence 

combined with a 

deep selection of wine, 

beers and spirits. Our 

celebrated food department, 

with specialty delicacies, 

artisan cheeses 

and amazing homemade 

soups, dips and spreads, 

rounds out the offerings.” 

For generations, holiday 

parties officially begin 

when the Schaefer’s 

truck arrives in the driveway 

with libations and 

those stacked boxes of 

glassware. Enjoy free delivery, 

fully credited returns 

and, yes, even free 

loaner glassware! Every 

budget, and palette, is accommodated. 

It’s a stress 

free holiday. “I’m here 

for you, we will take care 

of everything,” says Dan 

Madden, Schaefer’s goto 

party guy for over 30 

years. 

A holiday gift from 

Schaefer’s, packed in 

their signature boxes, 

says it all. It brings a 

smile to every recipient. 

By phone, web or in 

person, Schaefer’s veteran 

team of experts is 

peerless. Whether it’s a 

professional gift list, or 

a thirsty parent, they’re 

ready for you. Need 

something special? Select 

a cellar wine and ask 

about bottle engraving. 

Relax with the experts! 

They’re part of our local 

history and “setting the 

bar” in all respects since 

1936.

Razny Jewelers creates beautiful pieces 

with brilliant diamonds, precious metals 

Forever is a long time 

— until you’re in love. 

Thereafter, hours pass like 

seconds. A quick glance. 

A knowing smile. Each 

moment together is an opportunity 

for an expression 

of warm affection. Like 

one single tile of a mosaic, 

love turns eternity into 

quick flashes forming the 

beautiful whole of a new 

forever. 

For almost 70 years, 

Razny Jewelers has listened 

to the stories of 

couples from all over Chicago 

and beyond. Each is 

unique and worth celebrating. 

With these beautiful 

bonds in mind, we were inspired 

to create a selection 

of engagement rings and 

wedding bands reflecting 

the everlasting brilliance 

of true love. 

It was essential to us 

that, aside from being distinctive, 

this exclusive collection 

encompasses the 

many styles and tastes of 

today’s brides. We took 

great care to guarantee 

modern silhouettes shine 

just as brilliantly as their 

classic counterparts. The 

most popular diamond 

shapes and settings, with a 

few outlier designs added 

for variety, were all skillfully 

formed by our inhouse 

design team. 

It is a collection we are 

proud to call Forever by 

Razny. 

Forever by Razny is currently 

on display at our 

Highland Park boutique 

in Chicagoland’s North 

Shore neighborhood. 

Ingrid Razny shines a 

light on the inspiration behind 

each design. “Beginning 

their lives together, it 

is important for a couple 

to have a jeweler they can 

trust. A new home, anniversaries, 

and babies are 

only a few of the many 

milestones they’ll be celebrating 

for generations to 

come. Look to Forever by 

Razny as a collection from 

which to begin a beautiful 

and happy friendship — 

between our family and 

yours. Here you’ll find 

your forever-ring, from 

your forever jeweler.” 

No two love stories are 

the same, and the most important 

jewelry you own 

should reflect your unique 

story. Forever by Razny is 

made with only the most 

brilliant diamonds and 

precious metals, honoring 

love’s individuality.

discover the full collection

What ‘5b2f ’ stands for 

5b2f was inspired by 

a bible story about a boy 

with five loaves of bread 

and two fish. A young boy 

brought a lunch which has 

five loaves of bread and 

two fresh fish. The young 

boy gave Jesus his lunch 

with which Jesus transforms 

the boy’s humble 

offering of lunch into fantastic 

feast enough to feed 

5,000 people with 12 full 

baskets of food leftover. 

We are inspired to be 

God’s tool. When we give 

Jesus what we have (even 

though it is so tiny), Jesus 

feeds many people who 

need help.

Romancing the hair at La Relance Salon 

Just like our skin, our hair ages 

as well. Product lines are booming 

with sales for anti aging 

beauty products. But what does 

aging hair really mean? 

Teens to Twenty’s 

Hair is usually as healthy and 

attractive in its natural state as it 

will ever be. Even with coursetextured 

hair its natural state, 

after being tamed, will be shiny 

and full. Some people may have 

oily hair due to hormone changes 

or a poor diet. Washing daily 

with a balancing shampoo and 

rinse for the ends will help keep 

the skin calm. Dry it thoroughly 

to the scalp after washing to 

avoid skin rashes or itchiness at 

the nape of the neck. A balanced 

diet rich in Omega oils, calcium, 

and protein play an important 

role in healthy hair. 

Thirty’s to Forty’s 

Gray hairs that are thick and 

wiry often first appear now. 

Color is used to help smooth 

and bring back a youthful shine 

to the newly textured hair. Hair 

may start to feel thinner due to 

fewer active follicles and a decrease 

in the diameter of the hair 

shaft. Men may see this more at 

this age. Men should use a deep 

cleansing and stimulating natural 

based shampoo to increase blood 

flow to the scalp and follicle. 

Women that know thinning hair 

is genetically passed, should also 

properly cleans and stimulate 

there scalp to at least decrease 

the chances of losing more hair 

as they age. Many people choose 

to start using Rogaine to help 

stimulate new hair growth. This 

works but once the product is not 

used any new hair grown will be 

lost due to the active ingredient 

not being applied. To help support 

your hair continue a balance 

diet and take quality supplements 

to provide vitamins and 

antioxidants such as vitamins A, 

C and E, zinc and biotin. 

Fifty’s and Up 

Hair will become more fragile 

now. It is likely to break or suffer 

from exposure to UV rays and 

other stresses. Be cautious with 

old styling tools. Blow dryers 

and brushes need to be replaced 

at least every couple of years. If 

you are using a five-year-old hair 

dryer, it may be over heating and 

burning your hair as you dry it. 

Brushes can have bent bristles 

from being stuffed into cabinets 

or drawers, this will shred your 

hair as you are drying it and cannot 

be repaired only cut off. 

Overly highlighted hair will 

break and permanent all over 

hair color will fade from all of 

the new gray hairs. Your colorist 

will need to rebalance the 

ends of your hair at least every 

third color root touch up service 

with a completely different color 

formula to best treat the faded 

hair needs. This is an additional 

charge to your service but it is a 

must for any aging hair to look 

its best. Always use an integrity 

shampoo and mask, a rinse 

will usually not provide enough 

moisture to the original lack luster 

hair. Remember, just because 

you have colored your hair does 

not mean you have changed 

what your natural hair is. It will 

always be aging hair that needs 

the most attention to become full 

and shiny. Using triple threat 

products will leave your hair in 

a beautiful place creating thicker, 

fuller, and shinier hair both 

in look and feel. This is why 

working with a hair stylist that 

knows your hair is vital to finding 

the proper products and tools 

to get your best hair! It is not always 

a sales pitch when stylists 

are working with you to create 

your best hair. I have years of 

experience and knowledge readily 

available to help you. At La 

Relance I stand behind our products. 

It’s not easy when there is an 

over abundance of hair and skin 

care products retailed everywhere. 

Reviews will not work 

because no one has the same hair 

needs. So shopping on line is not 

your best option. I suggest that 

you schedule a blow dry with 

your stylist. Have a consultation 

about your hair needs and discuss 

what you have in your cabinets 

already. You may need to change 

just one thing or maybe get rid 

of it all, but talking through it is 

the best option. Bring the products 

and tools you have and use 

to that scheduled appointment, 

this will help you in so that you 

are not guessing the names of the 

many products you have stored 

so carefully in your cabinets 

throughout the consultation. You 

will be surprised how learning 

what to do with your products 

can change everything!

Willow Creek North Shore seeks to make 

global impact during holiday season 

This holiday season, 

Willow Creek North Shore 

in Glenview invites you 

to be part of a faith community 

with a vision that 

extends beyond Sunday 

morning. Throughout December, 

the church will 

host gatherings designed 

to serve the local community, 

provide space for 

families to connect, support 

fair trade retailers in 

developing countries, and 

share the peace and hope 

they find in their faith. 

“We are a church that 

believes that our faith 

calls us to be merciful, 

kind, and compassionate, 

and to serve and love the 

people around us,” Pastor 

Amy Mikal said. “The 

holiday season is the perfect 

time of year for us to 

serve our neighbors here 

on the North Shore and to 

make an impact across the 

globe.” 

The first holiday event, 

a Family Christmas Party, 

will be held 9 a.m.-noon 

Saturday, Dec. 7. Families 

are invited to enjoy 

hot chocolate, treats, music, 

games, and more during 

the open-house style 

event. Families will also 

have an opportunity to 

give back to the community, 

assembling gift packages 

for residents at Glen 

Oaks Nursing Home in 

Northbrook. 

All are invited to pack 

Christmas gifts for prisoners 

at 9 and 11:15 a.m. 

Sunday, Dec. 8, during 

services. Everyone in attendance 

will pack a gift 

for inmates who otherwise 

might not receive a gift or 

even a word of encouragement 

during the holiday 

season. Kaleb Wilcox, Associate 

Pastor at Willow 

Creek North Shore, said 

he hopes the simple gift 

brings prisoners joy this 

Christmas. 

“Jesus taught us to remember 

the prisoners and 

to serve those often forgotten 

by society,” Wilcox 

said. “We want to let 

prisoners know that there’s 

a church in Glenview that 

remembers them and that 

there is a God who loves 

them.” 

The church is also hosting 

a fair trade market on 

the morning of Sunday, 

12/15 with Ten Thousand 

Villages – a fair trade retailer 

of artisan-crafted 

items including, jewelry, 

home décor, gifts, and 

more. Attendees can purchase 

gifts while also 

supporting artisans and 

entrepreneurs who are developing 

a sustainable income 

for themselves and 

their families. 

To complete their December 

lineup, Willow 

Creek North Shore will 

host six Christmas services 

focused on joy, peace, 

hope, and faith. Each service 

will include a time 

of worship, opportunities 

for prayer and reflection, 

a message of hope, and a 

chance to spend time together 

as a community. 

“In the middle of a full 

and busy season, we want 

to give families a space to 

pause, take a breath, and 

be reminded of the hope 

and peace that is available 

to each one of us,” Mikal 

said. “No matter your faith 

background, what you’ve 

experienced in church in 

the past, or how you’re 

feeling about faith today, 

there is a place here for 

you.” 

Christmas Services will 

be held at Willow Creek 

North Shore at 9 and 11:15 

a.m. Sunday, Dec. 22, 6 

p.m. Monday, Dec. 23, 

and 1, 3:30 and 6 p.m. 

Tuesday, Dec. 24. To learn

How to stick to your workout schedule during the holidays 

StatePoint media 

There are plenty of temptations 

to skip a workout during 

the holiday season. Ironically, 

this is the time of year you may 

need the movement most. 

Here’s how you can stay focused 

on fitness throughout the 

holly jolly season. 

• Rise and Shine: Consider creating 

the habit of working out 

first thing in the morning. Not 

only will doing so clear your 

mind and set the tone for the 

day, but for many, it’s the best 

way to avoid excuses and ensure 

the workout happens at 

all. 

• Every Bit Counts: Don’t forget 

that every bit of movement 

counts -- even holiday shopping. 

This is an especially important 

lesson if you’re not a 

gym lover. In fact, one of the 

best ways to stay healthy is 

with walking. You can even 

do it during your lunch break. 

With just 30 minutes of brisk 

walking added to your daily 

routine, you could burn about 

150 more calories a day, according 

to the Mayo Clinic. 

• Track It: Wearable tech can 

help you stay accountable to 

your goals as well as motivate 

you to set new ones. Check out 

the latest additions to the new 

POWER TRAINER sports 

lineup of watches from G- 

SHOCK, which go beyond an 

athletic aesthetic to offer advanced 

functionality. 

Features include a Training Log 

200 LAP Memory, Training 

Timer, Target Alarm and Double 

Super Illuminator LED 

light to guide you through 

late-night and early morning 

pre-dawn workouts. Both the 

men and women’s series come 

equipped with Bluetooth technology 

compatible through the 

G-SHOCK Connected app. 

Employing new technology 

developed by Casio, the app 

displays a graph which breaks 

down daily steps taken in each 

of five metabolic equivalent 

(MET) levels from data based 

on the step count and walking 

pace, as well as displays the 

exact time of day the wearer’s 

calories were burned, making 

it useful for interval training. 

• Friends and Family: Tis the season 

to spend time with friends 

and family, and there’s no 

reason why you can’t extend 

that mentality when it comes 

to your fitness routine. Maximize 

workouts by combining 

it with quality time -- ask your 

spouse, sibling, best friend or 

anyone near and dear to your 

heart to join you at the gym or 

on a walk. 

There’s a lot to juggle during 

the busy holiday season, but with 

the right tools and mindset, it’s 

easier to prioritize fitness.



Holiday gatherings in your empty nest home 

The North Shore is home to 

a large number of long-time 

resident couples approaching 

the “empty nest” phase of their 

lives. For them, downsizing to 

one level living often means 

resorting to an elevator condominium 

building, which initially 

seems like a great idea. 

These buildings provide ease 

of access, one level living and 

virtually no maintenance involvement 

outside of the unit 

itself. 

However, at holiday time, 

even large condominiums are 

rarely perfect for couples who 

enjoy hosting family gatherings. 

Rarely do these units offer 

dedicated dining rooms large 

enough for most families with 

grandchildren; they are too 

small to accommodate visiting 

family members comfortably; 

and, often lack quiet get-away 

spaces for younger family 

members to romp around in. 

This means for many couples 

one level living, especially 

when downsizing, becomes a 

big sacrifice when family entertaining 

traditions are simply 

too important to give up. 

If you are in this group, the 

good news is building is a great 

option! 

Building an affordable new 

empty nest single-family low 

maintenance home gives you 

the ability to live in a wonderful 

single-family house without 

sacrificing one level living, or 

a yard. 

In a well-designed empty 

nester house, you could easily 

obtain very large dining rooms, 

great outdoor dining/living 

spaces, ample indoor entertainment 

areas and, most importantly, 

places for the visiting 

families to have their own private 

separate bedroom and living 

areas—on the second floor, 

of course. 

Just as important, your new 

empty nest house will be built 

to suit your tastes and sensibilities, 

not those of a high-rise 

developer. 

Done right, your new custom 

designed home will comfortably 

accommodate the lovely 

antique, art and other fine decorative 

objects that took you a 

lifetime to acquire. 

If family gatherings during 

the holidays are an important 

part of your family traditions, 

consider building your own 

empty nest home. You will love 

it.

Ambiance Blinds and Shades showcases 

holiday sale for a limited time in Wilmette 

Rebates on select products 

from Hunter Douglas available 

and complimentary installation. 

Greg and I are so excited to 

work with the homeowners in 

the North Shore. We began 

our careers working in window 

treatments over 20 years ago. 

We have learned so much working 

with various companies, 

but always felt something was 

missing. Greg and I decided that 

we wanted the freedom to offer 

more options to meet our client 

needs and we remain passionate 

about making a connection 

and finding what works best for 

your home. When we opened our 

Chicago showroom in 2011, the 

vendors were surprised that we 

wanted to expand when other 

companies were pulling back economically, 

we saw a need that 

we could fulfill. The products 

that you put in your home are an 

expression of you and we love 

to get to know our clients with 

a consultative process that brings 

together ideas to find the blind, 

shade, or custom drapery that 

will be functional and beautiful. 

We grew a successful business 

which we expanded in March by 

assuming ownership of a beautiful 

showroom in downtown Wilmette. 

We enhanced the brands 

we offer to cover every option 

based on your desired look and 

budget. Window treatments protect 

your privacy and can boost 

energy efficiency. Our designers 

help you understand all the options 

available, prioritize quality 

over quantity, precisely measure 

and achieve correct proportions. 

Check out our showroom or call 

to have one of our creative designers 

come to your home.

Footwear, outerwear and clothing 

featured at Forest Bootery in Lake Forest 

One of today’s oldest footwear 

dynasties in the nation began at 

the Forest Bootery in Lake Forest 

Market Square and is celebrating 

its 70th year. Second generation 

owners, “the Girls,” Cristina 

and Cara Garrison grew up in the 

fashion footwear industry learning 

at an early age from their parents. 

After graduating college the 

pair came home and found their 

father was planning on selling 

the store. Not wanting to let their 

heritage go in 1996 they became 

the fourth owners of the Forest 

Bootery that was established in 

1949. 

“I remember going to New 

York with our father when I was 

around 13,” Cara Garrison said, 

“and meeting some of the great 

designers like Ralph Lauren, 

Joan & David Helpern and I remember 

Sam & Libby Edelman 

when they were first launching 

their line in the 1980s. We would 

help pick out styles that we liked 

and my dad would listen to us for 

teen direction.” That was what it 

was like for the girls growing 

up in a family business. Cristina 

remembers “when the store 

had parties we had to be there to 

serve refreshments.” Historically 

every downtown across America 

had a store that sold family 

shoes and leather goods called a 

“Bootery.” Fast forward, today, 

the Forest Bootery’s assortment 

is much more than just shoes for 

the family. When the legendary 

outerwear store, the Outdoorsman, 

closed its doors they 

acquired the brand The North 

Face, in the past few years they 

started carrying women’s ready 

to wear. “It’s about having what 

our customers need so they don’t 

have to shop somewhere other 

than their home downtown” says 

Cristina “we are a local landmark 

and a leader. We put in 

clothing because the tenant mix 

in the Square was missing this, 

well, and it’s super fun to buy.” 

What’s going to happen with 

the Forest Bootery? Cara says 

“We are just not sure with closed 

store fronts on Market Square 

and online footwear sales climbing, 

it’s true, our Lake Forest location 

has been struggling. Consumers 

have evolved and don’t 

always shop local before clicking 

online, it’s just too easy. Its 

hurting retail and I worry gone 

will be the days of going out 

shopping. Shop less in stores and 

then stores will have to carry less 

and so goes the cycle. We plan 

on continuing our search of finding 

that special niche online to 

help preserve our brick and mortar 

footprint.” The “Bootery” is 

rich in heritage and its flagship 

location is located in Historic 

Market Square Lake Forest Illinois. 

They have been serving the 

communities of Lake Forest and 

Lake Bluff for 70 years.

Local mom celebrates one year 

as spa owner with amazing holiday gifts 

After years of working 

long hours while raising 

young kids, Northbrook 

resident Leslie Lee decided 

she was ready for 

a change. It was time for 

more work life balance 

and less stress. Well, what 

could be less stressful than 

a spa! She loved the idea of 

providing a relaxing experience 

as well as an affordable 

way for people to take 

better care of themselves. 

So, she dove head first into 

entrepreneurship, opening 

Hand & Stone Massage 

and Facial Spa in Northbrook 

last December. It 

hasn’t always been stress 

free but the support of the 

community and friends in 

the area has made all the 

difference. And to celebrate 

the first year in business, 

Hand & Stone is offering 

a huge Buy One Get 

One sale on gift cards this 

Black Friday weekend! 

After all, a growing trend 

in holiday gift giving is 

to create an “experience” 

as a gift instead of giving 

“stuff.” As we all strive to 

reduce our physical footprint, 

the well-intentioned 

“stuff” we give others over 

the holidays quickly adds 

to the post-holiday clutter. 

According to studies collected 

by Joshua Becker, 

THE expert on minimalism 

and author of several 

books on the topic: 

The AVERAGE family 

gives or throws away over 

200 pounds of clothes per 

year. 

54 percent of adults in 

the US report being overwhelmed 

with clutter and 

78 percent have no idea 

how to overcome it! 

But “stuff” makes our 

gift recipients happy, 

right? Wrong. 

Beyond reducing clutter, 

giving experiences is 

also good for the recipient. 

According to research 

reported in the Journal of 

Psychological Science by 

Thomas Gilovich of Cornell 

University, experiences 

provide more lasting 

happiness than material 

possessions. He speculates 

that, “This is because we 

adapt to physical things, so 

even the nicest car or newest 

phone becomes commonplace 

after enough 

time, while memories tend 

to get fonder over time.” 

So, this holiday season, 

consider an experience gift 

for everyone on your list 

like a gift card from Hand 

& Stone Massage and Facial 

Spa in Northbrook. 

Let your loved ones enjoy 

a day of pampering. It’s 

healthy and feels great. 

This Black Friday weekend, 

buy one gift card and 

get one free! Avoid the long 

lines and traffic by pre-ordering 

your gift cards today.

6 chef-approved suggestions for a merry holiday season 


Heading into the holidays can 

be both exciting and terrifying. 

Part of the stress factor comes 

from food and drink -- specifically, 

what to serve guests, 

bring to parties and how to stay 

healthy and centered through the 

thick of it. 

To help take the worry out of 

the season, Mark Estee, a nationally 

recognized chef, is offering 

helpful suggestions. 

1. Heat. Chips and salsa, a staple 

at many gatherings, don’t 

have to be boring. Swap out 

run-of-the-mill salsa with 

something fresher and more 

delicious. Estee’s brand of 

choice is Killer Salsa, a delicious, 

small-batch salsa made 

in Nevada for over 20 years. 

Flavors include Original, Salsa 

Verde, Hot and Garlic, all 

of which are made with simple, 

clean ingredients that will 

add some kick in your crunch. 

To add wintertime flair, pour 

the salsa over goat cheese or 

cream cheese and warm it in 

the oven. 

2. Simple Bites. Whether you’re 

party-hopping and need something 

to contribute or you just 

want to rock the appetizer 

spread, keep things simple. 

Grab a local baguette and pick 

up Liberty Artisan Meats’ new 

‘Nduja salami, a particularly 

spicy, Calabrian chili salami 

that goes great on crusty, 

fresh bread or as a pizza topping. 

Unlike typical salami, 

it’s high-fat content and finer 

grind make it spreadable. 

3. Drink. The best way to roll 

into a party is with a premade 

cocktail in tow. This is because 

barrel-aged cocktails can taste 

better than many of those that 

are freshly-made, due to the 

texture added throughout the 

aging process. Bring a premium, 

barrel-agedDoc Pepe’s 

Labcocktail to that holiday 

party. The classic, yet craftily 

curated cocktails are made in 

small batches with ingredients 

from scratch. The only ingredient 

you’ll need to add is ice. 

4. Toasts. When life gives you 

lemons -- or the end of the 

party -- say cheers with Pèpe- 

Cello. For those end-of-night 

toasts, enjoy this crisp, tart allnatural 

limoncello liqueur by 

itself or add a splash to your 

favorite prosecco to make an 

irresistible spritz. Hand-crafted 

in small batches in Sorrento, 

Italy, the family recipe 

is made with only certified, 

organic Sorrento lemons. 

5. The Next Day. Thinking of 

how to get up and do it again? 

Thinking of getting up and 

heading to the gym or work? 

Be sure you’re prepped for the 

party’s aftermath. While a cup 

of coffee will get your eyes 

open, after a particularly festive 

holiday gathering, you might 

want an extra boost. A new 

line of beverages called Drink 

Nutrient work with our body’s 

natural structure for increased 

absorption and efficacy of nutrients, 

and are a good way to 

rehydrate, enhance health and 

defend against winter bugs. 

6. Warm Up. You can also recuperate, 

or help others to, with 

tea. Just in time for cooler 

weather, Davidson’s Organic 

Teas has released its new Earl 

Grey Creamand Earl Grey 

Roseblends, great to have 

on hand all winter long. The 

brand’s new subscription style 

Mood Boxes also make for 

thoughtful, healthful holiday 

gifts. Choose from Cleanse 

, Focus, Immunity and Motivate 

Mood Boxes.

@OSTEOSTRONGCHICAGO 

A revolutionary wellness 

system that works to build 

stronger bone density and 

ignite the entire musculoskeletal 

chain naturally has 

arrived in Chicago. 

OsteoStrong of Greater 

Chicago, with locations in 

Wilmette and Schaumburg, 

is part of OsteoStrong, a 

rapidly growing national 

franchise that helps people 

of all ages and fitness levels 

enhance their bone health, 

balance, strength, and posture. 

Created based on Dr. 

John Jaquish’s osteogenic 

loading research and other 

studies, the OsteoStrong 

system triggers the growth 

of new bone and muscle 

density in sessions that 

only take a few minutes. 

Since the first location 

opening in 2012, Osteo- 

Strong has grown into 

more than 100 locations on 

4 continents and benefited 

more than 30,000 people. 

Part of its fast success can 

be attributed to the fact that 

its system of four machines 

(for lower body, upper 

body, core and spine) emulates 

high impact forces 

without the risk of injury. A 

session coach monitors the 

entire process, and the integrated 

computer software 

provides instant biofeedback, 

as well as tracks long 

term progress. 

About 54 million Americans, 

half of all adults age 

50 and older, are at risk of 

breaking a bone and should 

be concerned about bone 

health, according to the National 

Osteoporosis Foundation, 

and more than 10 

million Americans already 

suffer from Osteoporosis. 

Many people concerned 

about their bone health 

have found an effective 

treatment in OsteoStrong. 

“I’ve been going to OsteoStrong 

for three months, 

and I can feel my bones getting 

stronger,” Peggy Jones 

said. “I highly recommend 

this place for people who 

want to be proactive or who 

have a need to strengthen 

their bones.” 

Studies show that a year 

of treatment with Osteo- 

Strong improves bone density 

between the hip and 

spine by 7.34 percent, and 

in as little as six months, has 

demonstrated an average 

overall bone density gain 

of 14 percent. In a study 

of 500 clients, strength improved 

by an average of 73 

percent after the first year, 

and 290 percent by the end 

of four years. 

OsteoStrong also 

has positive benefits on 

strength, stability, and joint 

pain. Gus Gates writes “After 

just a few sessions, I noticed 

lifting a heavy shingle 

suddenly became easy to 

accomplish. But now, after 

little more than four 

months, my strength in the 

four key areas is up over 

40 percent, and my joint 

pain is gone! This renewed 

stability is absolutely wonderful.” 

Gus is currently 

exhibiting strength gains of 

over 168 percent. 

Improving your bone 

density, balance, strength, 

and overall health is possible 

in only a few minutes 

a week at OsteoStrong of 

Greater Chicago. To learn 

more, and book your first 

two sessions free, call or

6 tips to celebrate within your means this holiday season 


For many families, the 

holiday season is the most 

expensive time of year. 

Americans spent over 

$707 billion dollars during 

the 2018 holidays, according 

to the National Retail 

Federation, and it would 

be no surprise for spending 

to increase in 2019. 

“It is important to ensure 

you are spending 

wisely and not turning the 

new year into a time of 

new debt,” says Michael 

McAuliffe, president of 

Family Credit Management, 

a non-profit creditcounseling 

agency. 

To spend sensibly and 

with good cheer this season, 

consider these tips 

from McAuliffe and the 

experts at Family Credit 

Management. 

• Set a budget: While you 

should be following a 

budget throughout the 

year, it’s important to 

have a holiday-specific 

budget too. Figure out 

how much you are able 

to spend on each person’s 

gift and stick to 

it. This will help you 

consider those big-ticket 

items more seriously 

and make it possible for 

you to stay on track. 

• Decorate wisely: With a 

tight budget, consider 

using last year’s decorations 

or making homemade 

decorations, as a 

fun, money-saving project 

to do with the whole 

family. While there’s no 

real need to buy new, 

expensive decorations 

every year, if you are so 

inclined, don’t forget to 

include that in your holiday 

budget. 

• Think about shipping: 

Online deals might look 

great, and many times 

they are. Other times, 

they’re not really deals 

at all because of shipping 

costs. If you are going 

to shop online, make 

sure to keep an eye out 

for free shipping days 

offered by many retailers 

and to factor in shipping, 

when necessary, 

into your overall spending 

plan. 

• Don’t shop because 

you’re “supposed” to: 

Just because it’s Black 

Friday or Cyber Monday, 

doesn’t mean you 

have to shop. While 

there are some good 

deals offered during 

these events, just as frequently, 

the deals are not 

super special once you 

look at the normal price 

and product reviews. 

Unfortunately, marketing 

teams are great at 

knowing how to access 

wallets through product 

placement and signage, 

and shopping during 

these times will increase 

impulse spending and 

make it much harder to 

stick to a holiday budget. 

• Use apps to price check: 

Technology is great! 

There are many apps 

out there to price-check 

items while you’re shopping, 

so you can make 

sure you are getting the 

best deal. Some retail 

stores will even adjust 

the price in-store when 

you have found a better 

deal online. 

• Leave the credit cards at 

home: Put your holiday 

budget on a pre-paid 

debit card or gift card 

that you can use anywhere. 

Going shopping 

with only that card will 

help ensure that you 

don’t spend more than 

your budgeted amount. 

Not only will it help you 

stay within budget, but it 

will also help your purchase 

stay interest-free. 

For free money-saving 

and budget tips that you 

can use year-round, visit 

familycredit.org/resources. 

Don’t let the holidays 

take a toll on your 2020 

finances.
