Style Magazine - Readers Choice Awards - Roseville Granite Bay Rocklin 2022
In this month’s issue, our biggest of the year, we’re celebrating the season—along with all our region’s small businesses (and business owners)—in a big way. If you’re like me and read magazines back to front, then start with “Last Look” on page 82 for an autumn-esque picture snapped locally and our favorite leaf-peeping locales, including East Sacramento—an urban forest that’s currently awash in a canopy of yellow, orange, and crimson-colored trees. Leaving the leaves behind, turn to page 68 for some easy, autumn-inspired recipes utilizing the cream of the harvest crop, including a butternut squash risotto you’ll be eager to reheat…and have on repeat. In honor of the most hallowed holiday—the one where consuming colossal amounts of candy and donning creepy costumes is A-OK—we asked area distilleries for their “boo”ziest, most spirited cocktails. Pick your poison (I think I’ll start with the Midori-spiked, freaky-looking “Frankenstein”) on page 72. We also share some fun, festive Halloween happenings in The 10 Spot (page 16) that are sure to (pumpkin) spice up the season. Around here, it wouldn’t be October without our annual “Best of” feature, where we announce the winners of this year’s Readers’ Choice Awards. It’s a personal favorite because I always discover new (literally) winning places around town to support—like Pasty Pies of the World and Exhilaration Station—and am reminded of all the talented, innovative entrepreneurs our region is teeming with. Find out if your favorite people and places made the list starting on page 51. There’s much more in store, too, including an inspiring, informative piece about local women beating breast cancer (page 20); a spotlight on some of the area’s best bands (page 26); and tips on making sure your WFH office is an authentic place of productivity, whether you prefer to work indoors or (like me!) out (page 54). I hope you’ll agree that these glossy print pages are as plentiful and uplifting as the autumn season itself. Enjoy! ——Megan megan@stylemg.com @meggoeggowaffle

BEATING BREAST CANCER<br />
by PAULINE ARROYO | photos by TAYLOR GILLESPIE<br />
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month,<br />
we’re highlighting four women in our<br />
community who have fought and/or continue to<br />
fight the disease. Keep reading to discover their<br />
important stories and words of wisdom.<br />
Tina Macuha<br />
Good Day Sacramento anchor Tina<br />
Macuha was diagnosed in March 2009<br />
with stage 0 breast cancer and had a<br />
double mastectomy that April. Tina has a<br />
family history of the disease including her<br />
grandmother, four cousins, and mother.<br />
“My mom died of breast cancer in the<br />
early ’80s, so I was diligent on getting<br />
mammograms right after she passed<br />
away.” After deciding to share the news<br />
with viewers, the outpouring of love<br />
and support was immediate. “I received<br />
emails from women who said they put<br />
off their mammograms and seeing me<br />
go through this made them schedule<br />
[an] appointment.”<br />
What advice do you have for other<br />
women?<br />
Bring someone with you to your<br />
appointments so they can take notes and<br />
help ask questions. When we're stressed<br />
and overwhelmed with this diagnosis,<br />
we don't hear what the doctor is saying<br />
because we're in fear mode. Always ask<br />
questions and be an advocate for yourself!<br />
What has this journey taught you?<br />
I've learned I can reach out to others for<br />
support and do what it takes to be healthy. I<br />
feel so fortunate to have family and friends<br />
who held me up during a difficult time.<br />
This journey taught me blessings come in<br />
many ways.<br />
Karly Hernandez<br />
Jackson resident Karly Hernandez is a<br />
dedicated wife and loving mother to two<br />
daughters. The month after her brother<br />
passed away, in May 2021, she found a<br />
lump in her left breast. That September she<br />
was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer.<br />
Though she initially experienced hurdles<br />
obtaining insurance coverage and care,<br />
she found a multifaceted approach from<br />
Marshall Medical Center. “Marshall has been<br />
great. They’re very attentive; as a questioner<br />
by nature, they answer all [of mine]. I feel<br />
so blessed to be accepted by them.” Now<br />
cancer-free, Karly continues to undergo<br />
chemotherapy. While in treatment, she<br />
makes sure to visit and get to know all the<br />
other patients in the cancer center.<br />
What advice do you have for other<br />
women?<br />
Listen to your body, listen to your gut,<br />
and pursue it. Mindset is everything.<br />
Although it’s scary, doctors and resources<br />
are there to help you get through it. I am<br />
very thankful for everyone and to God for<br />
pulling me through.<br />
What has this journey taught you?<br />
Appreciate the small moments. I’m<br />
thankful to be here with my babies and<br />
grateful to get to see them grow up…to be<br />
there for first days of school and to read<br />
[them] bedtime stories.<br />
