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

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

“A brewed coffee with oat milk; or, when
it’s hot out, a cold brew. Not terribly
exciting, I know, but a delicious roasted
coffee can shine on its own!
—Gary Zsigo
“A half-caf latte with almond milk. Too
much caffeine makes me jittery, but
this gives me a small, but muchneeded,
kick!”

“I’m absolutely enamored with Chocolate

I know it’s not ‘coffee,’ but it’s from a

includes salted caramel is my go-to,
even in the winter months.”

HEALTHY PANTRY
MAKEOVER
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,
as opposed to good-for-you, filling foods. Wondering
what to fill yours with? We asked Tasha Rosales, certified
nutritionist at Wellness Homemade (wellnesshomemade.

about ’em on our website.

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

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!).

Pause Coffee House, the Fair
Oaks favorite, has expanded to
Rocklin. Their honey lavender latte is
well-loved for obvious reasons, and
we know in our hearts that the sweet
crêpe with Nutella will be everyone’s
favorite eventually, because we’re
personally going to drive around in

Abraham Lincoln’s endorsement
of Roseville’s Fourscore Coffee is
still pending, but the café’s brown
sugar latte is truly presidential in
its greatness. And look closely at
the Lincoln Memorial statue: Is his

delicious jalapeño cheddar scones?
Who’s to say? The important thing
is that he would be because they’re
that good. 325 Lincoln Street, Roseville,

Roseville’s Shady Coffee &

gem. Between the great coffee,
the homemade pastries (we’re
looking at you, apple turnover),
drive-thru, and the seasonal drinks
(peppermint white chocolate
mocha and gingerbread latte, to
name a few), they’ve earned the
devotion of their local customers.
Plus, they host regular open-mic
nights and are known for their
dog-friendly patio. 325 Douglas

The “shakerato” at Roseville’s beloved
Bloom Coffee & Tea is an exciting
pick-me-up with two shots of espresso
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,

to their award-winning,
house-roasted beans,
they make some pretty
good, and pretty to look at,
beverages, too: including
one of the Southern

delicious food: pastries,

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
with the great handcrafted

have to say it: The eclairs and
mousse cakes made by their
in-house chef are as beautiful
to behold as they are to put

completed with the perfect
amount of whipped cream.
Delish! There’s also home-made
pastries and cookies (we have
it on good authority that the

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,

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

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.

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 &

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.

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.

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
