Style Magazine - January 2023

I’ll forever be a café connoisseur. From the coffee (of course!) to the décor, and the people to the pastries, I have incredibly specific standards. Walking in, I want the ambiance to be lively but not too loud; music is a must, as are ample outlets and infinite nooks and crannies to cozy up at. Bonus points if they make their own baked goods, have strong Wi-Fi (and even stronger coffee), and stay open late. I won’t disclose my favorites, but I will say they’re all mentioned in this month’s feature, “Cool Beans,” where contributor Sharon Penny writes about our region’s robust coffee culture. Read her roundup of the top spots and what makes each one buzzworthy—be it a primo patio, house-made syrups, or sustainably sourced beans— starting on page 62. In true new year’s fashion, we also have plenty of healthy living content—both physical and mental—this month. Turn to “Get Fit” on page 20 to learn about three elite athletes who live locally, including a skilled cyclist, an Ironman (who was told he’d never run again after a debilitating auto accident), and a young soccer star. Their words of well-being wisdom and stories of stamina are sure to inspire. Finally, in “Clear the Cutter” on page 56, area experts tell us their top tips for “living a life you love to come home to, knowing where all your stuff is, and lessening the load of what’s no longer serving you.” As someone who lives in a small space with small kiddos (who make big, BIG messes), I can honestly say that having an organized home does indeed create a calming, less chaotic environment; and, like coffee, makes everything better. Cheers! —Megan megan@stylemg.com

| editor’s letter |

One of my first (and favorite!) jobs

was at a coffee shop. Sure, the 5

a.m. shifts were grueling, but I

quickly adapted and even started

to enjoy rising with the sun—

something I still savor today. The

smells (scones baking, coffee brewing) and

sounds (milk frothing, customers conversing),

mixed with all the regulars and their adjectivefilled

orders (medium, iced, sugar-free caramel,

oat milk, half-caf latte), made for mornings that

were full of both familiarity and fun.

Though my coffee shop career is over, I’ll

forever be a café connoisseur. From the coffee

(of course!) to the décor, and the people to the

pastries, I have incredibly specific standards.

Walking in, I want the ambiance to be lively but not too loud; music is a must, as are

ample outlets and infinite nooks and crannies to cozy up at. Bonus points if they make

their own baked goods, have strong Wi-Fi (and even stronger coffee), and stay open

late. I won’t disclose my favorites, but I will say they’re all mentioned in this month’s

feature, “Cool Beans,” where contributor Sharon Penny

writes about our region’s robust coffee culture. Read

“Live life her roundup of the top spots and what makes each one

Check out “In the Mood for Superfoods” on page 38 for 13 staples to keep stocked,

along with some palatable preparation ideas. One of the suggestions, lentil soup, is

one of my family’s current favorites.

Finally, in “Clear the Cutter” on page 56, area experts tell us their top tips for “living

a life you love to come home to, knowing where all your stuff is, and lessening the

load of what’s no longer serving you.” As someone who lives in a small space with

small kiddos (who make big, BIG messes), I can honestly say that having an organized

The first step to healthy eating is ensuring you have

healthy ingredients. Pantries, in particular, tend to be

stocked with sugar-laden, highly processed products,

what to fill yours with? We asked Tasha Rosales, certified

nutritionist at Wellness Homemade (wellnesshomemade.

Get Fit

Spotlight on

Athletes

by EMILY PETER-COREY

It’s a new year, and we have a sneaking

suspicion that you may have made a

resolution to get fit. To help you stick

with it, we gathered advice from three

local athletes across myriad activities.

Although they may seem intimidating (in

a good way!), their advice is simple and

straightforward—and their stories inspiring.

Shawn Remy ‣

Shawn Remy, the store manager at Bob’s Cycle

Center in Roseville, has been the “king of stoke” at

Giant Bicycles for the past four years. Cycling has

been his main discipline for the past 17 years; this

year, he’s planning to go cross-country mountain

biking along with road and gravel racing—all while

being supported by his daughters, Torrance and

Tegan, and fiancé, Erin.

When did you first become interested in fitness?

I first showed interest in cycling when I was young

while watching my cousins race mountain bikes.

It looked so awesome! Although I participated in

many sports throughout childhood (roller hockey,

baseball, football, aggressive inline skating, and

skateboarding), it wasn’t until my early 20s when I truly

picked up cycling as a lifestyle, followed by pursuing

mountain biking in 2019.

What aspects of fitness are you most interested in?

I love how fitness has been the truest form of therapy

over the years. Great music, paired with a great

workout, helps me tackle life’s toughest challenges

with the most positive mental attitude possible.

What are your top fitness tips?

Listen to your body, eat healthy, and remember that

recovery is key.




What’s the first thing someone can do to begin a

fitness routine?

Start small; building your way up to something big

makes all the difference!

Devyn Chambers

Devyn Chambers may only be a freshman at Oakmont High

School, but she already has a lot of sports experience under her

belt. She started playing soccer when she was just five years old

and has competed competitively for the past seven. In February

of last year, she took up track and field; last summer, after just

mere months of practice, she placed fourth in long jump (in

her age group) at the 2022 National Junior Olympic Track &

Field Championships. When not competing, you can find her

spending time with friends or reading a good book.

When did you first become interested in fitness?

I’ve always been interested in it! My parents have always

encouraged me to try different sports to see which ones I like and

want to [pursue]. Besides track and soccer, I’ve also participated

in gymnastics, martial arts, lacrosse, basketball, golf, and softball.

What aspects of fitness are you most interested in?

The social part of working out and how it makes me feel. Most of

the activities I’ve participated in are team-oriented, and I enjoy

having friends who are interested in the same sport. We all push

each other to be better, and the friendly competition makes it

fun. I also like how working out makes me feel. I find it satisfying

knowing I’ve gone out on the field or the track and really pushed

myself.

What are your top fitness tips?

Just start! And then slowly interval your way up (for example,

slowly increase weights or reps and go for longer periods of

time). Also, find an activity you like so it doesn’t feel monotonous.

What’s the first thing someone can do to begin a fitness

routine?

Create a reasonable plan or objective and find something you

enjoy.

Bob Gitsham

Folsom resident and Ironman Bob Gitsham is a lifelong athlete

and credits it for saving his life. He was gravely injured in a serious

car accident just over three years ago and used his passion for

the sport as motivation to leave the hospital. At home, Gitsham

likes to spend time with his wife, Jennifer, two sons, Owen and

Cheyne, and daughter, Mia.

When did you first become interested in fitness?

I’ve always been active and played sports growing up, including

football in college. About five years ago, I took my fitness to

another level and got in triathlons—followed by Ironmans. After

my accident, I was in the hospital for 40 days, five of which were

in a coma, and I didn’t walk for six months.

What aspects of fitness are you most interested in?

I like to see how far I can push myself, hence doing Ironman

events, which consist of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride, and

a marathon (26.2 miles). Doing those races not only challenges

me physically but more so mentally.

What are your top fitness tips?

Eat clean, get good sleep, and be disciplined in being consistent

with working out.

What’s the first thing someone can do to begin a fitness

routine?

Put your beer or wine down, get off the couch, and go for a walk

three or four times a week, and then build off that.

Pitch Perfect

SPOTLIGHT ON

MUSICIANS

by HEATHER L. NELSON

Our region is blessed with a plethora of

multifaceted musicians who truly delight

in bringing their passion for music to the

community. Here are four noteworthy

performers to watch.

P

icking up the violin for the first time

in middle school, Fara Elizalde’s

talent led her to perform in community

orchestras throughout the Bay Area and

Sacramento; eventually, she became one

of the founding members of the Folsom

Lake Symphony where “the players have

fun and support one another while being

Fara Elizalde

INSTRUMENT: Violin

challenged to rise to higher

levels of musicianship.”

What attracts you to the

violin?

The power that can

emanate from this small

piece of wood never ceases

to amaze me. As they say in

the Harry Potter series, “the

wand chooses the wizard.”

The violin is versatile—it

reaches down to mellow,

warm tones yet can also

soar to much higher,

clearer notes.

What challenges have

you faced?

I knew music would

always be an important

part of my life, yet I

chose a corporate career

path. Finding a balance

between my professional

life and the time I'd like to

devote to practicing can

be challenging. At times,

I must compromise the

quality of my violin playing to keep up

with work and family life.

Any tips for beginning musicians?

Don't worry so much about the elusive

quest for perfection or how others will

judge your abilities. Smile while you play,

and practice, practice, practice!

Francesca Anderson

INSTRUMENT: Flute

C

onsidering accomplished

flutist Francesca Anderson’s

teachers in high school and college

were major influences in her

music, it’s fitting that she also

enjoys teaching. “My students make

me proud every year with their

accomplishments; many of them

have been accepted into local and

state honor bands and the

Sacramento Youth Symphony.”

You learned to play the flute

when you were nine years old.

What do you love most about it?

From classical symphonic groups

and rock bands, to beat boxing and

jazz, the flute can do it all! Making

music with my colleagues is also

[incredibly] rewarding.

What has been a noteworthy

performance?

I feel blessed every time I can

perform. When the audience loves

a performance and reacts with

loud applause and a standing

ovation, it’s the best feeling. I

hope everyone has a chance to

experience the power and magic of

a live musical performance.

Any advice for aspiring flutists?

Playing with peers is essential. Join

your school band, local orchestra,

a private youth symphony, or the

Sacramento Flute Club.

C

ustomarily seeing

cellos in an orchestral

setting, Jennifer Yen has

had the esteem of

performing Tchaikovsky’s

Symphony No. 5 at

Sheldonian Theatre in

Oxford, as well as

Beethoven’s 6th Symphony

“Pastoral” at Carnegie Hall.

However, Yen has also

joined rock bands on stage,

bringing depth to their pop

melodies. “The cello can

produce a wide range of

rich sounds…you can play

it lyrically and

symphonically.”

When did you begin

playing?

I started my first private

lesson when I was four and

a half years old. I come

from a musical family—

my mom is a classical

pianist, my dad is a

retired violinist, and my

sister an accomplished

cellist. Growing up, we

played music together

and performed at

local churches and

community centers.

What performance

are you most excited

about this year?

Alon Goldstein’s Rite

of Spring performance

on April 22 at the

Harris Center. This

will be his second

time collaborating

with [the Folsom Lake

Symphony].

Jennifer Yen

INSTRUMENT: Cello

Greg Lamy

INSTRUMENT: Trombone

S

tarting with the piano

and trumpet in third

grade, Greg Lamy later found

his zeal for the trombone in

high school, where he was

one of two musicians from

California selected as a

member of the McDonald’s

All-American High School

Band. “There’s a thrill

making an inanimate object

‘sing,’ and it’s pretty special

when you get that feeling of

really being locked in on a

piece or a specific section—

especially in an ensemble.”

What attracts you to the

trombone?

I love that it’s a constant

challenge to find the right

partials on the slide and

to make the sound what

I want it to be. Having no

fixed settings (like on the

baritone) ups the difficulty

level significantly, especially

on fast sections. Music is

an interesting combination

of both technical (reading

notes, instrument fingerings,

etc.) and artistic, which can

conflict with each other at

times.

You’re a member of the

Folsom Lake Symphony.

What do you like most about

performing with them?

It’s a perfect opportunity to

continue to play, learn, and be

a part of something special.

While most of the members

are still active with musical

careers (teaching, performing,

etc.) those of us who love to

play but have chosen different

paths can still participate.

Before I joined, I hadn't really

played my instrument for

about 20 years and really

missed what had been such

a big part of my life. With

the symphony, it’s up to

me to be at the level of the

other musicians—a constant

challenge that I’m more than

willing to take on.

In the Mood for

Superfoods

Healthy Diet Essentials

by KOURTNEY JASON

While there’s no universal definition of superfoods, typically they’re

nutrient-dense foods that nourish our bodies, protect our cells, and

prevent us from getting sick. According to Michele Lites, RD, CSO, at

Kaiser Permanente Roseville Radiation/Oncology Department, “the

easiest way to pick a superfood is by the color. Vibrant hues (orange,

purple, green, deep red, etc.) indicate the fruit or vegetable is rich in

nutrients. While most superfoods are available year-round, shopping

when they’re in season will offer the maximum flavor and nutritional

benefit.” In addition to a well-balanced diet, eating superfoods on a

regular basis can help shield against heart disease, cancer, and many

other chronic medical conditions, [along with] strengthening the

immune system and decreasing inflammation, says Zachary Brewer,

MD, a cardiologist with Dignity Health Mercy Medical Group. Here are

13 healthy diet must-haves to add to your shopping cart.

ROOT VEGETABLES

“[Root] vegetables—like carrots, beets,

turnips, rutabagas, and parsnips—are

full of vitamins and minerals and can

be the star of many dishes,” Lites says.

“Let your air fryer create colorful,

tasty fries; or roast [root veggies] with

extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, and

freshly ground pepper (and make

extra to purée and use as the base for

hearty soups).”

WINTER SQUASH

“Winter squash should be a staple on

your table, because they’re versatile

when making soups, smoothies,

side dishes, and on-the-go snacks,”

Lites says. “They also make great

decorations because they don’t

require refrigeration and can adorn

a table or porch before they’re eaten.

Pumpkin, acorn, butternut, Hubbard,

and Delicata are just a few of the

winter squash varieties that can be

made into sweet or savory dishes.

All contain a plethora of nutrients,

including vitamins A and C, fiber,

and potassium. Try adding squash to

curries or stews for a unique flavor

and as a potato stand-in.”

LENTILS

“Lentils are a plentiful source of iron and

folate and contain ample amounts of

protein, fiber, and magnesium. Because

of their high protein content, they’re a

great replacement for animal proteins. To

prepare them, make a one-pot lentil soup

with olive oil, garlic, onions, and turmeric

(plus broth and other seasonings); and

serve it with rice or your choice of bread

for dipping,” Dr. Brewer says.

FIELD GREENS

“Field greens (collard, mustard, and/or

turnip greens) are abundant in winter

gardens, offer robust flavor, and can

become a hearty main dish. “Try blanched

greens as an appetizer or as a sturdy wrap

(similar to grape leaves used in Greek

dolmas); and don’t miss out on the savory,

nutrient-rich broth (pot liquor) made

when the greens are boiled,” Lites says.

BROCCOLI + BROCCOLI SPROUTS

“Like most high-performing greens,

broccoli is rich in carotenoids, which

help your body rid itself of harmful

compounds. It’s also the only

green veggie with a high level

of sulforaphane, which flushes

cancer-causing chemicals from

the body, making it a champion

among superfoods. Other

benefits? Increased heart health,

possible increases in cognitive

functioning, reduction in tumor

growth, and improved digestion,” says

Pamela Connor, functional medicine

nutritionist at Connor Wellness Clinic.

Kathryn MacLean, MS, RD, in Health

Food and Nutrition Services at UC Davis,

suggests adding broccoli sprouts “to salads,

sandwiches, wraps, stir-fries, and grain

bowls; using them as a garnish on things

like avocado toast; or putting a handful into

smoothies with, or instead of, other greens.”

KALE

“Kale is high in vitamins A and C, iron,

quercetin, and kaempferol, but low in

calories. Looking for an easy way to

prepare this superfood? Make chips!

Drizzle the kale with olive oil, add a

sprinkling of salt, and bake until it’s [crispy]

for a delicious snack,” Dr. Brewer says.

KIMCHI

“Kimchi contains probiotics—healthy

bacteria that’s present in the gut. And

gut health is important to overall health,

since over 70% of immune cells reside

there, meaning the health of your gut can

be directly tied to how well you fight off

infection. Kimchi can be added to eggs

or put on salads or sandwiches for extra

spice and crunch!” says Whitney Parkinson,

MPH, RDN, at Marshall Medical Center’s

Diabetes and Nutrition Education Clinic.

GREEN TEA

“Green tea is another favorite superfood

of mine,” Parkinson says. “It contains

flavonoids, which act as antioxidants in

the body and can fight cancer and lower

inflammation. I love having a hot cup of

green tea or a matcha latte on a cold day.

Beware of added sugar in matcha lattes,

however, and always ask for the no sugar

or half-sweet options.”

GARLIC

“With an abundance of bioactive

compounds that have a variety

of benefits, garlic is antibacterial,

antiviral, and antifungal. It’s also

been shown to be anti-inflammatory,

immune modulating, and

neuroprotective. What’s more, it can

protect against cancer, lower blood

pressure and cholesterol, and aid in

better blood sugar regulation. It’s also

rich in prebiotic fiber, which supports a

healthy gut microbiota,” MacLean says.

“After chopping, mincing, or crushing it,

let the garlic sit for 10 minutes to allow

some of its beneficial compounds to

become more heat-stable. Use it to add

flavor and nutritional benefit to soups,

sauces, stir-fries, and other savory

dishes; or incorporate raw garlic into

homemade salad dressings, marinades,

pesto, hummus, and other dips.”

GINGER

“Ginger is one of my favorite

superfoods and is often overlooked. It

supports our immune system, which is

imperative during cold and flu season,

and aids in digestion,” Parkinson says.

“I love adding raw ginger to smoothies

or teas, but you can also use it as a

seasoning for meats like chicken or

duck.”

TURMERIC

“Besides bringing a vibrant color to

curries and other dishes, turmeric

has been linked to numerous health

benefits, thanks to its active ingredient

of curcumin, which studies suggest

can help fight inflammation, stabilize

blood sugar levels, and prevent cancer

cell growth,” Connor says. “Be sure to

pair turmeric with black pepper, as it’s

been shown to enhance curcumin

absorption by up to 2,000%.”

CHIA SEEDS

“Chia seeds are rich in fiber (four

grams per tablespoon), which

helps you feel full, keeps you

regular, assists with keeping

cholesterol in check, and can help

prevent large blood sugar spikes

after meals. They’re also a

good source of omega-3 fatty

acids, which are beneficial

for cardiovascular health and

have an anti-inflammatory

effect in the body. In addition,

they’re rich in a variety of

antioxidants,” MacLean says.

She recommends adding a couple

tablespoons to a smoothie, oatmeal, or

yogurt bowl. Another option? “Mix one

tablespoon of chia seeds with three

tablespoons of water and let it sit for 10

minutes to make a ‘chia egg,’ which you

can use to substitute for all or some of

the eggs in baked goods.”

WATER

“Water is usually not considered by

most as a food; however, it is critical to

survival. The FDA classifies a ‘food’ as

an essential part of one’s diet that we

cannot live without,” says Tracy Toms,

RD, and certified diabetes educator

at Dignity Health Heart and Vascular

Institute of Greater Sacramento. “Bottom

line: Make sure to consume adequate

amounts of water instead of juice, soda,

and sweetened beverages.”

UC Davis Arboretum

by RYAN MARTINEZ

LOCATED IN:

Davis.

DISTANCE:

3.6-mile loop.

DIFFICULTY LEVEL:

Easy.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO:

Avoid parking on the UC Davis

campus; instead, avail of the

free, 90-minute parking along

1st Street or other free parking

lots nearby. On weekends,

parking is free at the Garrod

Drive lot on the west end of

the trail. Many people run and

cycle the loop, so expect to

share the trail—or break out

your running shoes or bike

and join them! Dress in layers,

bring water and binoculars,

and Leave No Trace.

WHY WE LOVE IT:

When the temps are low

with lots of snow eastward,

a beautiful urban hike with

plenty of flora and fauna is a

great way for the whole family

to soak up some vitamin D.

FUEL UP:

Hit up one of several food

vendors or trucks at the

Davis Farmers’ Market

(davisfarmersmarket.org)

on Saturdays (year-round,

rain or shine, from 8 a.m.-1

p.m.) and Wednesdays (3-6

p.m. through March; 3-7

p.m. beginning in April). One

of our favorite purveyors?

Kathmandu Kitchen—a

cornerstone in the community

known for their modern

interpretation of classic Indian

cuisine and insistence on using

high-quality, fresh ingredients.

BIRDING

101

How seriously you take

birding is up to you but

paying attention to the ones

around you will deepen

your experience outdoors,

relieve anxieties, and is

a fun game (how many

sightings can you count?).

Here are some tips.

1

Use shape to identify

family. While there are

many species of birds,

identifying its general

shape will help you

put it into a family of

species; for example:

accipitridae (hawks,

eagles, and kites) or

anseriformes (ducks,

geese, and waterfowl).

2

Check behavior. Is

it scurrying up a

tree, hopping on the

ground, or circling

overhead? These

behaviors will help you

identify.

3

Season. Some birds

look so similar that the

only way to identify

them is by knowing

which ones appear

during which season.

Local guidebooks

will give you this

information.

4

Field marks. Once

you’ve checked

the general boxes,

noticing specific

markings on the bird

—maybe a white

circle around the eye

or a striped pattern on

its tail—will help.

Do

you have a

favorite trail in the

region you’d like to see

featured? Tell us all

about it at

Dr. Bogard has a long history in the health

field. From an RN to a nurse anesthetist

to an anesthesiologist, she spent almost

40 years in the operating room. She was

exposed to critical care, trauma, obstetrics, lots of on

call hours and sleepless nights. As she entered her 50's

she found her own health starting to decline and sought

out a healthy aging physician. After experiencing the

benefits she sought out the fellowship of regenerative

and healthy aging through the American Academy of

Anti-Aging Medicine.

She opened an office in 2014 and continues to grow

and expand her knowledge into this evolving field of

medicine. Rather than prescribing medications and

bandaging diseases she looks for the "root causes" and

integrates each system in the body together. She also

looks at environmental, genetic and lifestyle factors

which result in "dis-ease". Her continued and expanding

practice utilizes bioidentical hormone replacement,

thyroid and adrenal optimization, GI healing, testing for

heavy metals and IV nutrition and chelation, advanced

lipid testing, and advanced blood sugar testing.

COOL STUFF

Bon Voyage

Must-Have Travel Gear

by TERRY CARROLL

I’ve travelled enough in my lifetime

to circle the planet more than 100

times. Something I became keenly

aware of early on was the importance

of great carry-on luggage, as well as

other items that make travel easier.

Keep in mind this is coming from a

“man’s” perspective, but these items

crossover to the feminine side quite

smoothly. Here are my must-haves.

Carry-On Luggage

Without a doubt,

the Tumi Alpha

Continental

Expandable

4-Wheeled Carry-On

is the Rolex of luggage.

I can travel for three

to seven days with this bag, and bring slacks,

a jacket, jeans, shoes, toiletries, socks, and

undergarments—well, pretty much everything.

It’s perfectly compartmentalized and will last

forever, thanks to a great warranty and local

direct dealers for support. IMO, it’s “the” bag to

have, and worth every penny. $925, tumi.com

Toiletry Bag

The Eagle Creek

Pack-It Reveal

Hanging Toiletry Kit

is my favorite. I’ve been

carrying one of their

older versions for more

than 25 years, and it’s

all I need, whether it’s an overnight or two-week

trip. It has a place for everything, is durable, and

a pleasure to use. $30, eaglecreek.com

Jeans That Fit

Just Right

I can’t tell you how many

meetings I’ve attended

wearing black jeans

(jet black, of course),

a collared shirt, sports

jacket, and loafers. They're

not for every meeting, but work for many. The key

for me is having the right “jeans,” and the ones

from Danish-based company Perfect Jeans are my

absolute favorite. I had no idea “stretch” jeans would

look and feel so great. You ladies have been holding

out on us! If you're looking for the perfect allaround

pair of travel pants, here they are. And their

marketing is inspiring. $92+, perfectjeans.com

Q: How vital is stretching

before/after a workout and

what can it help with?

A: Dynamic stretching (a

moving stretch) is a great way

to begin a workout; it helps

loosen up muscles and joints

prior to strenuous exercise—

prepping the body for a

warmup. Static stretching at

the end of a workout tells the

body it's time to settle down

and relax. Holding a stretch for

a minimum of 30 seconds helps

improve flexibility, decrease

chances of injury, burn more

calories, and reduce soreness.

If you’re looking for more of

a recovery stretch program,

holding postures for 3-5

minutes (yin yoga) is highly

recommended.

Clear the

Clutter

17 HOME

ORGANIZATION

by KOURTNEY JASON

HACKS

Organizing is so much more than pretty baskets and bins. “It’s about

living a life you love to come home to, knowing where all your stuff

is, and lessening the load of what’s no longer serving you,” says

Karlee Alves, owner of 2B Organized Sacramento & 2B Organized

(2b-organized.com). “The key to being organized is to have systems

in place that work for you, your family, and your lifestyle.” If you’re

looking to find peace and happiness in every nook and cranny of

your home—from the garage to your closet—don’t miss these top

tips from area pros.

Know your why.

1

“Why do you want to get organized?

Is it because you want to be able to find the

things you need when you need them? Is it

because you want to live more peacefully?

Is it because you want more time with

your family and less time trying to sift

through clutter and manage stuff? Wanting

a picture-perfect pantry because Instagram

says it will make you happy isn’t enough.

You need a strong why behind your reason

to want to get organized for long-lasting,

sustainable change,” says Alves.

Organizing is a journey, not

2

a destination.

“Similar to health and fitness, habit and

lifestyle changes have to be made for

the changes to stick. You can do all the

things—hire a personal trainer, buy the

Peloton, go on a fad diet—but if you don’t

make overall lifestyle changes your weight

will slowly creep back on. Organizing is

very similar in that maintenance and new

habits need to be made to create lasting

change,” says Alves.

Start with one, small,

3

measurable area.

“Taking on an organizing project can

be very daunting. Many of us put off

projects like this because we believe

we shouldn’t start it if we can’t finish

the whole thing,” says Dawn Cannon,

owner/operator of Finely Organized

(finelyorganized.net). Instead of looking at

the entire room and being overwhelmed

by the task at hand, start with one drawer,

one shelf, or do what is called ‘batching’—

completing one task throughout the

whole area, such as carrying a trash bag

around the room and removing garbage

or putting all the items that don’t belong

into a laundry basket.”

Remove and look at

4

everything.

“Take the time to remove all the items

from a space (closet, cabinet, drawers, or

shelves) so you know exactly what is there,”

says Susan Mann, owner of So Organized

(soorganized.io). “This allows you the

opportunity to purge the items you don’t

need so you can donate, recycle, or dispose

of them; and gives you a chance to look at

the empty space and reorganize it in a way

that is more useful and functional for you.”

Purge and edit.

5

“Letting go of things that no longer

serve you is a crucial first step in any

organizing project,” says Cannon. “Anyone

can shuffle things around and make a

room ‘pretty,’ but what have you really

accomplished? If you think about it, we

bring something new into our homes or

offices nearly every day, whether it’s mail,

groceries, or something we picked up at the

store. If we’re not letting go of things at the

same pace, at some point, it’s inevitable that

we’ll be overwhelmed with clutter.”

6 Contain.

“By giving your belongings a physical

boundary, it helps to keep like things

together with less migration. Document

trays are a great example. How often do you

look at your desk, or the kitchen counter,

and your mail has multiplied into several

different piles from one end to the other?

Having one designated place will save you

time and space when you’re searching for

something,” says Cannon.

Label.

7

“Most of us, in fact 80%, are visual

learners—meaning we rely heavily on

visual cues to process information,” says

Cannon. “By labeling containers, even when

we already know what’s in them, it will help

solidify in our brains where these items are

and where they should be stored after use.

Since very few of us process information

the same way (even if we are visual learners),

labels significantly help when there is more

than one person accessing the items. In a

pantry, for example, everyone in the family

will know where to retrieve and store the

‘chips’ if they’re contained and labeled.”

File folders photo ©Delphotostock - stock.adobe.com. Kitchen cabinet photo © Pixel-Shot - stock.adobe.com.

Organize your food so you

8

see it.

“Put fruits and vegetables in clear

containers or mason jars so you can easily

see what you have. Use a turntable for

condiments so they don’t get stuck behind

other items in the refrigerator. You’re more

likely to eat the food that you can see, which

leads to a lot less waste,” says Kristina Lewis,

owner of Blitz Organization (blitzedh.com).

Sunk-cost fallacy.

9

“The sunk-cost fallacy is the

phenomenon whereby a person is

reluctant to abandon a strategy or course

of action because they have invested

heavily in it, even when it’s clear that

abandonment would be more beneficial,”

says Cannon. “Storing that dresser in the

garage under a pile of who knows what

will not get your money back and serves

you in no way. Remember, ‘cost’ is what you

give up for something, it is not only money.

Storing that dresser is costing you time,

space, energy, and stress.”

10

Edit before you shop.

“I see it all the time: People buy

organizing products thinking it will solve

their problems, when in reality if they

took the time to edit out the things they

no longer need, want, or love, they might

not actually need to buy the countertop

makeup organizer because all the makeup

actually fits neatly inside the drawers once

they’ve pared things down,” says Alves.

Collaborate with your

11

household.

“Think of your entire household and

how they also use the space you want

to reorganize,” says Mann. “Discuss with

them how you envision the area looking

after you reorganize it and ask for their

input, so it works effectively for everyone

and stays organized over time.”

Everything has a place.

12

“Designate a laundry basket for

each child in your home so they can put

backpacks, jackets, toys, schoolwork,

etc. in it, rather than leaving these items

scattered throughout the house,” says

Mann. “At the end of the day, have your

child help with putting these items back

where they belong. It’s a good routine to

teach them to be responsible for their

belongings and alleviate clutter from

building up.”

One in, one out.

13

“Adhere to the ‘one in, one out’ rule.

Bought a new sweater? Great! Get rid of

one of your old ones,” says Alves.

14

Utilize unused space.

“If you need more storage, consider

using shelves and hooks on your walls or

an over-the-door organizer for wrapping

paper, snacks, shoes, supplies, etc. The

possibilities are endless!” says Lewis.

Turn the page on paper.

15

“Create a system for all the

paperwork that comes into your home.

Paperwork can pile up quickly, so it’s

a good idea to only file away what’s

absolutely necessary and toss or shred

the rest,” says Lewis. “Mount a document

organizer on the wall or have a file box

on top of an entryway table, counter, or

placed in a cabinet. Throw out junk mail,

put bills and any other action items into

a folder when you’re ready to tackle them,

and file important paperwork right away.

Whatever system you plan to use, make it

an easy one!”

Do it daily.

16

“Organizing is a daily practice

that needs to be cultivated, reset, and

maintained,” says Lewis. Give yourself time

and space to get started. The joy you’ll feel

once you’re done is indescribable!”

Just keep going.

17

“Rome wasn’t built in a day and

overall sustainable change requires time

and dedication, but knowing where all

your items are and loving everything you

own is such a motivation to not allow

things in that won’t serve you,” says Alves.

“Once you’re at a level of maintaining,

you’ll realize the journey was well worth

it and the path forward is so much easier

because you've put in the work.”

COFFEE SHOPS

by SHARON PENNY

“How do you take your coffee?” Seriously though. Is

there anything better than a good cup of coffee? For

me, it’s the definition of a simple pleasure. My idea of

happiness is a well-made, no-frills latte: two shots of

delicious espresso stained with milk foamed velvety

smooth. But it’s also the coffee shop itself. The aroma

that lives in the very walls. And the sounds! The whooshing steam, the grinding beans, the

clinking of cups and glasses. It’s always the warmest place in wintertime, all steamy and cozy.

Friendly faces of the baristas who sling those beans for you, your comfortable chair, the spot

by the window, the cool music, the baked goods, the artwork on the walls. Voila! A simple cup of

coffee becomes a religion. Café culture! With so many wonderful local spots, we thought we’d

run down the best of the best, perhaps shout out your current favorite, or introduce you to a

new love of your life.

Pause Coffee House

Baked & Brewed

Downtown Loomis is getting a

glow-up thanks to Smithville & Co.!

There’s specialty coffee, like the

iced Mexican mocha that is already

a local favorite, a Bavarian pretzel

charcuterie (swoon!), loaded toasts

and pastries aplenty, plus protein

smoothies. Along with live music, popups,

and the Instagramable décor,

there’s really no reason not to fall in

love with this coffee shop newbie! 3637

Smithville & Co.

Located in Old Town Auburn, The Pour

Choice is a third-wave craft coffee bar

and taproom serving java, craft beers, and

wonderful wines. The coffee is killer (we

recommend the cortado: half espresso, half

velvety smooth milk), the loaded banana

bread is a must (hello, fresh banana and

peanut butter between two slices of banana

bread!), and the three levels of seating with not

one but two patios make it the perfect hang!

Bru Coffee House in Loomis is a coffee shop

with purpose. As part of the nonprofit EveryONE

Matters Ministries (everyonemattersministries.

com), their profits go directly toward helping

those experiencing situational homelessness

in the community. And the coffee is, of course,

excellent. A low-key favorite is the midnight

mocha, a rich tasty drink that’s as dark as a

winter’s night. And make sure to grab a pastry

or a scone, too: They’re baked locally! 3565

Taylor Road, Loomis, 916-251-7105, everybru.com

Auburn’s Baked & Brewed has all

the reasons for you to keep coming

back: fresh-baked pastries seven

days a week, delicious coffee, a

rotating array of local artwork on

display, and a pretty patio. Dig into

their extensive breakfast and lunch

menu, and you’ll find so much gold,

like their famous bail out bagel:

eggs and cheese with your choice of

ham, sausage, or bacon on any one

of their delicious bagels (we hear

great things about the jalapeño!).

looking at you, apple turnover),

drive-thru, and the seasonal drinks

(peppermint white chocolate

mocha and gingerbread latte, to

The “shakerato” at Roseville’s beloved

Bloom Coffee & Tea is an exciting

pulled long to bring out the bitterness,

shaken over ice, and balanced with

vanilla syrup—yes, it’s better than

an alarm clock! And their breakfast

burrito is the bee’s knees: applewood

smoked bacon, roasted potatoes, two

eggs, cilantro pesto, and jack cheese

(the vegan version is equally delicious,

too!). 1485 Eureka Road, Suite 100,

Kyla Whitney

Roaster at Pachamama

Top tip for brewing coffee at

home? Invest in a Burr grinder,

use fresh beans, and think

about what water you’re using.

What are you looking for

in a good cup of coffee? For

me, coffee tastes best when it’s

sustainable and the farmers are supported…

essentially a thoroughly balanced cup (with a

nice view)!

Favorite coffee drink? It’s a toss-up between

an oat milk cappuccino and a pour over.

Favorite method for brewing coffee?

Aeropress. It’s super simple, has a huge range

of what it can brew, and is portable.

From humble beginnings in a garage, Kingdom

Coffee Roasters has been making Folsom’s

coffee dreams come true since 2016. (Personal

anecdote: My trusted coffee-nerd friend was an

early adopter of Kingdom and from day one, he

raved about how good the coffee was. He was

right!). Minimalism is the key to the Kingdom:

great house-roasted beans, brewed to perfection

and crafted into the pearl latte (among others): a

sweetly cozy combination of espresso, sweetened

condensed milk, and steamed milk that you

won’t soon forget. Plus, there’s great breakfast

sandwiches and avocado toast, delicious pastries

from Estelle’s Bakery & Pâtisserie, and the chillest

good vibes around. 305 Iron Point Road, Folsom,

kingdomcoffeeroasters.com

Sacramento favorite Temple Coffee has

expanded to Folsom—serving up finely crafted

coffees and teas along with house-roasted beans

and locally made pastries. The vibe is thoughtful

and delicious—no bells, no whistles—just good

coffee in cool environs. We’re a fan of the

gibraltar (a delicate balance of espresso and

milk), and if the Samoa donut is on offer, shoot

your shot because you will not be disappointed.

Folsom mainstay Coffee Republic started

business way back in 1991 (remember 1991? Back

when customers carried Filofaxes instead of

iPhones.) They’ve come a long way baby! The

patio is as spacious as ever, and the tiramisuflavored

latte is still a fan favorite, along with

the innovative breakfast entrées, like their

signature “CR” avocado toast with everything

seasoning and Mike’s Hot Honey on sourdough.

Welcome to the future, where we love hot honey!

folks keep coming back, along

Barista at Sociology

Coffee Bar

Top tip for brewing coffee

at home? Consistency is key.

If you’re going to change

anything, change one thing at a

time—whether dose, grind setting,

or water temperature—then give it a

try before changing another.

What are you looking for in a good cup of

coffee? I’m always looking for a tasty balance

of sweetness and acidity.

Favorite coffee drink? A cappuccino—full

flavor of espresso with just a few ounces of milk.

Favorite method for brewing coffee? The

Orea—a flat-bottomed brewer with a very

high flow rate that provides lots of flavor

clarity and intensity.

Emily Kane

Barista at World Traveler

Coffee Roasters

Top tip for brewing coffee at

home? Find something that

works for you (it doesn’t have to

be expensive) and be consistent

with your brewing method. Make

small adjustments until you’re able

to dial in what you like; you don’t have to

have top-tier equipment to get a good result!

What are you looking for in a good cup of

coffee? I’m always looking for coffee that’s

well-balanced with sweetness, acidity, and a

pleasant bitterness; I want to be able to detect

clearly defined flavor notes. I personally try to

find the sweetness first and work everything

else around that.

Favorite coffee drink? A cappuccino. The

balance of the small amount of milk and foam

with the espresso never misses.

Favorite method for brewing coffee? Pour

over (I usually use a Chemex). It's simple and

straightforward, and I can fine-tune each brew

to my preference.

Caffé Santoro

Foxwood Coffee

Love Birds Coffee & Tea

Depoe Bay Coffee Company

Caffé Santoro in Diamond Springs

is keeping the Foothill region warm

and toasty with handcrafted coffee

drinks and breakfast sandwiches

galore. And if you brew at home,

they’ve got the hookup: They roast

their very own coffee beans. On

the beverage front, we love their

Mexican mocha, made with Azteca

D’Oro 1519 spiced ground chocolate

and laced with cocoa liquor, real

vanilla, almond, and cinnamon. If

you’re feeling fancy, try their “Big

S” premium mocha with Ghirardelli

dark chocolate. (Yum!) Food wise,

the choices are vast, but the “bre”

breakfast sandwich is a hot favorite,

with eggs, avocado, tomatoes, cream

cheese, basil pesto, and bacon on

your choice of bagel. And if you’re still

hungry after all that, treat yourself

to a scoop of ice cream; don’t miss

dollar scoop Wednesdays! 93 Pleasant

Valley Road, Diamond Springs, 530-350-

9335, caffesantoro.com

Depoe Bay Coffee Company has

been roasting their own beans in

Downtown Auburn for over 20 years.

Their peanut butter mocha is to die

for (do we really need to explain

why?) and among their many pastries

and sandwiches on offer, the sunrise

bagel is worth waking up for: melty

cheese and scrambled eggs on your

choice of one of their many delicious

bagels, with ham, bacon, or sausage.

893 High Street, Auburn, 530-889-1021,

depoebaycoffee.com

Foxwood Coffee has been holding

it down in Shingle Springs since 2016

with killer coffee and great food. Their

vanilla lavender latte will take the chill

off the Foothill mornings, and with so

much breakfast fare to choose from

you’ll eat good in the neighborhood

for weeks! Our favorite is the Tuscan

sunrise burrito (scrambled eggs, spicy

sausage, feta, hashbrowns, salsa,

spicy aioli, and Southwest chipotle

pesto)—all lightly pressed on the grill

for extra crunch. 4068 Mother Lode Drive,

Suite A, Shingle Springs, 530-350-7393,

foxwoodcoffee.com

From their beginnings inside Smith

Flat House to their current Diamond

Springs’ location, Love Birds Coffee

& Tea has been bringing a taste of

Italy to the foothills since 2016. Modeled

on a classic Italian coffee shop, their

baked goods are all made in-house

(never say no to their homemade

biscotti or cannoli), along with the

chocolate sauce, butter caramel,

spiced chai, and flavored syrups. The

breakfast menu is on-point, too: We’re

all about the meat lover’s wrap (eggs,

sausage, bacon, potatoes, spinach,

tomatoes, and green onions), but they

also kettle boil their own bagels, so…

um, good luck choosing between those.

In addition to their spacious courtyard

and huge restaurant, they also have

a convenient drive-thru for folks on

the go. Pronto! 4181 Highway 49, Suite

CANCER CARE PACKAGE

FOR PATIENTS DURING

CHEMO AND RADIATION

You may be wondering why a Native

American Clay Exfoliation from The Tiger’s

Eye Skincare is different from a traditional

facial? Clay is versatile. It can be used on

almost all skin types. Some of the great minerals

in clay include magnesium, calcium and iron, all of

which help with the production of collagen in the

skin. As skin is exfoliated with clay, impurities from

the skin are surfaced; pores shrink and dead cells

become finer. We offer a variety of traditional Native

American skin care treatments for men, women

and children. Our team of aestheticism and skin

care professionals are licensed to provide facials,

exfoliation and clay masques, to help you to discover

your best self! Tiger's Eye Skincare specializes in

treating skin disorders such as rosacea, psoriasis,

acne, eczema and is especially effective in treating

conditions due to chemotherapy and radiation.

Customer Testimonial:

I was diagnosed with Anal Cancer and aggressive

radiation. I tried everything to relieve, pain,

burns, and blisters. After the first treatment

immediately felt relief. My burns and blistering

have completely healed. I would highly

recommend anyone going through radiation

look into this clay treatment from the first day you

start. —Lorena

The menu is delectably small

with a few choices to satisfy all

spectrums of diners. Just walk up

to the touch screen menu (yes, selfserve

style, though a hard copy is

also available), grab a number, pick a

beverage (including beer and sake),

an appetizer, choice of ramen or ricebased

entrée, and a single dessert.

Insert your card and voila! Within


Often taking hours to make,

the broth at Umami was

magical: steaming and

fragrant with a rich texture.


minutes, your freshly made food will be delivered,

piping hot. If only they had one of those noodleserving

vending machines…

My partner and I started with hot green tea and the

takoyaki appetizer: a deep-fried, ball-shaped Japanese

snack made with flour-based batter and filled with

octopus. The sweet and savory flavors were delicious,

though we felt the takoyaki themselves could have

been a touch hotter. All in all, this Japanese street

food classic, though not a personal favorite, is so

unique I consider it a must-try.

For those new to the ramen scene, it’s the king

of Japanese soups. There are restaurants in Japan

that focus solely on single styles of ramen, and the

masters spend years (if not a lifetime) perfecting its

art; there was even a documentary made about it

(Ramen Heads).

My favorite is typically tonkotsu, which features

pork bone broth. On this visit, we tried two versions

of it: spicy tonkotsu and black garlic tonkotsu.

Often taking hours to make, the broth at Umami

was magical: steaming and fragrant with a rich

texture. Take that amazingness and add thin noodles

topped with roasted pork chashu (a slow-braised

and meltingly tender pork belly), black mushrooms,

seasoned egg, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, and

green onions.

Allow me to elaborate. The egg was amazing, and

I rarely marvel at eggs. Medium-boiled, the whites

were fully cooked but the yolk just barely set. It

was then seasoned, making it flavorful, creamy, and

delicate. The pork belly was fall-apart tender and had

the perfect touch of sweetness. The spicy broth was

just that, so be forewarned; the black garlic broth

was velvety with subtle notes coming through from

the black garlic oil that made me come back for

more—and more—and will probably

be my new go-to here.

Finally, they offer a single

scoop of green tea ice cream

for dessert, which we decided

to pack up and enjoy curled

up fireside at home—the

perfect ending to a simple,

comfort-food filled night.

We’re all aware of the area’s Gold Rush history, but did you know

that the miners searching for gold brought along a treasure of their

own? Pasty pies! Pasty Pies of the World (part of Enchanted Forest

Dining Experience) serves up the delicious hand pies that are each filled with

worldly flavors. My partner and I stopped into the cozy locale and decided to

take a quick trip to Europe with a France and Italy pasty to go. We patiently

waited while our pies heated up, but you can always order them pre-cooked

and bake them at your convenience. When we got home, we topped them

with the accompanying sauces: balsamic reduction for France and pesto for

Italy. The France pasty pie featured cubed black forest ham, gooey Brie, and

fresh rosemary. Italy was filled with Italian ground beef, marinara, provolone

cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh basil. Both pies were perfectly packed

in a crispy, golden brown pocket featuring a thick braided crust. Rumor has

it that the braid acted as a handle for the miners’ dirty hands so they could

toss it without worrying about ingesting any unwanted germs. Luckily, we

got to enjoy the crispy crust but were both too selfish to share. I suppose

that just means we’ll have to go back and take another trip around the

world to give the other flavors a go. Where will we end up? Japan? Ireland?

Any location is guaranteed piping hot and packed with flavor!

LIST

THE

Top-Notch

Nachos

by CAITLIN MCCULLOCH

Nachos are one of the most crowd-pleasing cuisines. Perfect

for sharing, and as an appetizer or a complete meal, they pair

best with football, friends, and a cold beer. From the classics

done right (fried chips and melty cheese) to more creative

preparations (smoked brisket and charro beans! ahi and

avocado!), they’re fun to eat and hard to hate. If you don’t feel

like making them at home, level up with this local roundup of

the most popular plates found ’round town.

On Dos Coyotes' opening day in January of 1991, their Santa Fe

Nachos were on the menu. They’ve stood the test of time and are

considered one of the café’s most popular items. Everything on them is

made in-house, including the red chipotle sauce that’s got both notes of

honey and spice. A hearty helping of jack and cheddar cheese top blue

corn tortilla chips, while whole black beans, sour cream, and guacamole

complete the masterpiece. If you want to pump up the protein, pulled

pork, chicken, or steak can be added as well.

4, Roseville, 916-772-0775; 1200 Athens Avenue, Lincoln, 916-408-7777, doscoyotes.com

If you can’t decide between potato chips

or nachos—or if you simply adore potatoes

with cheese—head to Placerville Public

House for their Pub Nachos. A plethora

of the toppings are made in-house, including

the fresh beer cheese sauce that's crafted

daily. Green onions and a black bean corn

salsa add some freshness while shredded

carnitas bring a hearty balance. Topped with

spicy habanero sour cream, you get a hot yet

refreshing blast of flavor with each bite.

Barbecue-meets-nachos with a decadent order

of the Brisket Nachos at J. Wild’s Livery &

Feed. The star of the show is the namesake brisket,

which is from Creekstone Farms and slow-smoked

to perfection. The smoky meat is cubed and blends

nicely with cheese sauce, which is house-made

daily. Charro beans (a barbecue bean with Hispanic

origins) brings a little kick and spice. You’ll also find

delicious bites of onions, jalapeños, bacon, crema,

and guacamole.

watching the big game on one of their flat screens

or listening to live music. Diners can expect

sashimi-grade tuna atop crispy wonton chips

with some tasty toppings to boot (spicy serrano

peppers, sweet chunks of pineapple, and green

onions). The grand finale? Creamy sriracha aioli and

sesame teriyaki sauce. And if you love tuna, it’ll only

cost you a few bucks more for an extra helping.

316 Vernon Street, Roseville, 916-886-5080, gooseport.com

If you’re a sushi fan, then the Ahi Tuna

Nachos from Sienna were made

for you. Traditional tortilla chips are

replaced with crispy wonton chips (so

you’re still getting a good crunch) and

topped with sushi-grade ahi tuna, red

tomatoes, chunks of avocado, and a

sprinkling of cilantro. In lieu of cheese,

the dish is topped with sriracha mayo

for some creamy heat, accompanied

by a soy ginger glaze for a dash of

sweetness.

will love the Nachos Supreme from

Auburn’s Nectar Café, whose mission

is “to help you and the planet thrive by

providing delicious, local, organic, healthy

food.” House-made cashew cheese meets

a bed of corn tortilla chips before cilantro,

black olives, jalapeños, guacamole, and

vegan chorizo are piled on. A cilantro-lime

crema, also made with cashews, finishes

things off. Bonus: They can be made with

regular dairy cheese instead of the cashew

cheese, too!

Where We

Live

5 STEPS

TO YOUR BEST

YEAR YET

1 » Regulate your nervous

system. When you feel

triggered, learn how to

slow down, focus on your

breath (exhale longer than

you inhale), and feel the

sensations in your body.

Having a regular yoga

practice is a great way to

strengthen this skill.

2 » Develop a healthy

attachment style. Your

attachment style is how

you connect in relationships.

Those with a positive

attachment style can

control their reactions,

are emotionally available,

able to express healthy

boundaries, and face conflict

directly and confidently;

they’re dependable, trust

themselves and others, are

comfortable talking about

their feelings and having

difficult conversations, and

committed to growing and

staying curious.

3 » Have more hard

conversations. Learn how

to express your needs and

understand the needs of

others; this is one of the most

crucial life skills to have.

4 » Set boundaries and

stick to them. Communicate

your wants and needs; don’t

assume others know what

they are.

5 » Learn something

new. This is one of the best

things you can do to build

confidence.

“The body benefits from

movement, and the mind

benefits from stillness.”

—Sakyong Mipham
