Style Magazine - May 2022
Starting the month off with a mighty bang is Cinco de Mayo that commemorates the anniversary of Mexico’s victory over the French Empire (and is NOT their Independence Day which is celebrated September 16). We love a good party and never pass up the chance to have one. So, with that as inspiration, we bring you this month’s “30+ Local Latin American Restaurants To Try!” feature (page 85) that’s full of intoxicating eats that will guarantee a fiesta (definitely followed by a siesta!). While researching this article, we came across many other South American restaurants that warranted mention, thus expanding the feature to include Salvadoran, Brazilian, and other cuisines that will knock your socks off. Another holiday we can’t wait to celebrate this month is Mother’s Day (May 8). We all have our own ways of showing affection and appreciation towards our moms (or mother figures) on Mother’s Day, but as a magazine, we’ve come to love our “Get to Know” article each May that profiles some of the most magnificent mothers to grace our neighborhoods. Not a single one of them fails to inspire and warm our hearts, and this year’s “Mighty Moms” piece (page 16) is no less. If it weren’t already apparent, we’ve got so much good content on the following pages. So, grab a margarita (or any of the coffees in our “Hot List” department on page 102—if that’s more your thing), grab the family (including mom!), and make the most of May. Cheers and happy everything! —Tara Mendanha tara@stylemg.com

There’s a place in Rocklin where you can drink a shake, then shake it off. Literally.<br />
Thrive serves up super tasty protein shakes, smoothies, teas, and snacks. Then,<br />
just steps away, is a room where they offer free (yes, FREE) exercise classes like<br />
strength training and cardio drumming. When you order your drink, you start<br />
with an Aloe Shot. (The kind of shot you drink, of course!) The aloe helps with<br />
digestion and contains antioxidants, and you can choose between three flavors:<br />
mango, cranberry, and mandarin orange. I tried the mandarin orange and was<br />
pleasantly surprised as it was refreshing and light. Next, choose your drink. In<br />
the mood for tea? Their Fusion Teas are almost too pretty to drink, and they’re<br />
packed with nutrients. But, once I saw the folks across the way shaking it, I was<br />
in a shake mood. It was hard to choose one because they have quite the menu:<br />
Cookie Dough, Oatmeal Cookie, Banana Berry, Twix…decisions, decisions. I<br />
ended up with the Caramel Mocha Latte. When something tastes good and is<br />
healthy, it’s a great find; and I found it! Their shakes have 24 grams of plant-based<br />
protein, are dairy-free, and run between 220 and 260 calories. They also have<br />
healthy cookies! How is that even a sentence? No white flour or sugar, and glutenfree.<br />
I bought two. (The Chocolate Crinkle called my name). One for me, and one<br />
for…me. What?! They’re healthy! — by JULIE RYAN<br />
