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

One of the most common<br />
compliments I hear about<br />
my practice is that I have a<br />
wonderful staff, and I couldn't<br />
agree more. These amazing women that<br />
I work with every day are incredibly<br />
smart and extremely talented in their<br />
own individual ways. Without them our<br />
From Left To Right: Smithy Gomez (Surgical Tech), Michelle Sanderson (Lymphatic Massage Therapist),<br />

owner), Trinity Fulmer (Licensed Esthetician), and Gaby Gutierrez (Receptionist/Patient Care Specialist)<br />
business wouldn’t be what it is, a highly<br />
rated and successful company that is always<br />
eager to help others. My staff empower<br />
each other and our patients throughout<br />
each day and I am lucky to have them here<br />
at The Almonte Center. The decision to<br />
undergo plastic surgery is a significant one.<br />
Given that the majority of patients in my<br />
practice are women, I am so glad all my<br />
employees are women! Their knowledge<br />
and perspectives help my patients make<br />
these very important and personal<br />
decisions. I can't say enough about how<br />
much I appreciate the women in my<br />
business! If you have any questions about<br />
getting cosmetic procedures done, please<br />
don’t hesitate to call our office at 916-771-<br />

help you out.<br />
