We hear this comment every year 

around awards time, and nothing 

could be further from the truth. 

STYLE’s Readers’ Choice Awards 

(RCA) are the region’s largest in 

every way; more votes, more voters, 

and more winners are named 

every year than any other local or 

regional contest of its kind. 

We’ve been publishing STYLE for 

20 years and take every word we 

print in our magazine seriously. 

When it comes to the Readers’

| editor’s letter | 

Every time I go grocery shopping, I’m 

baffled by the sky-high prices. It seems 

like overnight, the cost of everything 

my family of four regularly consumes 

(bread, bananas, peanut butter, eggs, 

apples, the list goes on…), quadrupled. 

Even a small trip results in a big price tag. 

Thankfully, I have some savvy spending hacks up 

my sleeve (is extreme bargain hunting considered 

a hobby?!) that help me shave a tiny bit off the bill. 

Even so, at the end of the day (and month!), eating is 

expensive. 

But it isn’t just the supermarket that has me 

cringing when the credit card bill comes. Dining 

out, working out, childcare, a cup of coffee, car 

maintenance…it all adds up. And while not all these 

expenses are essential, they certainly help keep me 

sane and smiling. 

What I’ve come to realize, however, is that I don’t mind doling out dough if what 

I’m buying is worth the wad. In other words, if the purchase has value (beyond just 

the price), the quality and customer service are superior, and if I’m supporting a 

small business, then I’ll happily fork over the funds. 

If you, too, prefer springing for “things” that leave you feeling or looking better 

and from deserving mom-and-pop spots, then turn to our “Readers’ Choice Awards” 

(page 51), where you’ll find the region’s “best” people and places—according to the 

thousands of loyal readers who voted—in every category under the sun, from sushi 

and steakhouses to salons, swim schools, med spas, and more. Next time you need a 

haircut, home remodeler, handyman, or new happy hour hangout, why not give one 

of this year’s winners a whirl? 

And if free stuff is more your forte, you’re also in 

“Money will luck! There are ample activities tucked inside this 

buy you a month’s magazine that cost zero dollars. Check out 

the Calendar (page 32) for over 10 of them (including 

fine dog, 

STYLE ’s own Folsom Family Expo on October 14). 

but only Something else that’s always free? Fresh air! Flip to 

love can Take a Hike (page 46) for a trail near Truckee that’s 

overflowing with flowers and unforgettable forest 

make it wag 

views. Finally, for five free ways to make your home 

its tail.” homier this fall, turn to “Feels Like Home” (page 58) 

—Richard Friedman Money may buy happiness (to an extent) and keep 

your family fed, but sometimes the best things in life 

truly are free—like listening to music while flipping through a magazine, soaking 

up the crisp autumn air on a leisurely stroll, or spending precious time with loved 

ones. Cheers!

Spot 

HauntedHaunts 

by CAITLIN MCCULLOCH 

October means it’s time for spooky season! Sure, you can watch your 

favorite thrillers curled up on the couch, but when you’re ready to 

experience the real deal, choose one of these 10 local haunts—pun 

intended. Whether you love getting super scared, are a history buff, 

like a bit of putt-putt with your Halloween, or spirits are more your 

thing, there's something for everyone. 

Heartstoppers Haunted 

House offers multiple rooms 

with various themes—ranging 

from Old West zombies to 

steampunk horror in a medical 

ward. Sited in Rancho Cordova, 

the attraction has been around 

for over 15 years and is truly a 

haunting experience—one that's 

not recommended for anyone 

under the age of 13. Speaking 

of 13, they’re usually open for 

this many nights during the 

Halloween season. 2300 Mine 

Shaft Lane, Rancho Cordova, 916- 

572-2733, heartstoppershaunt.com 

Take in a haunted house 

experience—in an actual 

haunted “house.” The setting, 

you ask? Preston Castle—a 

former reform school for 

boys with many reports 

of paranormal activity. 

The 2019 movie Apparition was filmed here, and the 

property has been featured on such shows as Ghost

Dr. Grover Lee 

Owner & 

Executive 

Winemaker 

at Wise Villa 

Winery 

by CAROLINE KINGS 

When you think of 

Placer County, what 

do you think of? Gold 

Rush-era towns? Juicy 

mandarins? Yearround 

recreation? A 

fabulous food scene? 

Well, think again, as 

there’s something 

else to be added to 

the list; nestled within 

the granite and gold 

are grapes, including 

the ones grown at 

Wise Villa Winery 

(wisevillawinery.com). 

Based in Lincoln, Wise 

Villa was established 

by Dr. Grover 

Lee: wine lover, 

connoisseur, and 

producer. His awardwinning 

wines are the 

result of a scientific 

approach combined 

with the European 

romanticism of wine 

making. 

Please tell us about your story so far. 

I grew up near Modesto surrounded by 

vineyards as far as the eye could see. They 

were our playground and then later, a 

place of work. If I wanted anything new, I 

had to work for it, so I was employed at the 

nearby E. & J. Gallo Winery. This is where I 

first started learning vine management. In 

college, I was a scientist but also interested 

in wine. I would take myself to the library 

to study grapes and wine production; the 

science behind it, the bacteriology, and 

the biochemistry caught my attention. 

I also had a roommate who worked in 

a wine shop; he would bring home the 

ends of bottles of nice European wine, 

which we’d enjoy. Then, I went to Europe 

and travelled around France, Germany, 

and Spain visiting chateaus, meeting wine 

producers, tasting wine, and learning as 

much as possible about the whole process. 

I’m a huge fan of Europe; in fact, both 

my children spent time studying there at 

different stages of their education.

Lucky you and your kids! California is 

renowned for its wine, but was there 

a reason you chose Lincoln over other, 

more “traditional” wine-growing 

regions in the state? 

Yes, absolutely. Lincoln is a “wine oasis!” It 

has consistent temperatures, around 90/95 

degrees, and is cooler than other parts of 

the area, dropping nicely during the night. 

We also have rolling hills, which are perfect 

for planting vines and an early springtime. 

In France, I learned about the importance of 

the terroir, the very earth in which the vines 

are planted, which was an important factor 

in establishing my winery in Placer County. 

Lincoln benefits from an “inversion layer,” 

which means that, unlike other Californian 

wine regions, Wise Villa doesn’t suffer 

from frosts in the winter, which can ruin 

grape crops and are dreaded by vintners. 

The grapes grow in an environmental “safe 

haven” here. 

How would you describe your wines? 

In Europe, I started to realize the difference 

between Americans’ and Europeans’ 

expectations of how wine should taste. 

Typically, Americans are looking for cocktailtype 

flavors—sweet and fruity—whereas, 

typically, Europeans want something they 

can drink over a long period of time, like an 

evening meal. We’re aiming for somewhere 

between the two with ours. We produce 36 

different wines and have recreated favorites 

from across the globe, so there’s something 

for everyone. 

You’ve just gone through the grape 

harvest. Please tell us about this process. 

July to September is grape harvest time— 

the most laborious time of year. The team 

works on the hills through the night, 

from 11 p.m.-3 a.m., hand-picking grapes 

and carefully collecting them. This is the 

coolest time of the day, so the grapes are 

plucked at the perfect temperature for cold 

fermentation—a critical component of our 

wines. We have approximately 18 varietals of 

grapes that are planted according to their 

needs (temperature, drainage, sunlight, etc.) 

to produce the optimum crop of grapes. 

Grapes aren’t picked en masse as may be the 

case at other wineries where machines are 

used. Even during the night, each bunch is 

assessed for ripeness before being picked. 

The team could be returning to each varietal’s 

vines over several nights before all the grapes 

are harvested. 

By 8 a.m., at the latest, the grapes are in the 

winery and the doors are closed to maintain 

the refrigerated temperature. The grapes 

are checked every step of the way with bad 

grapes being thrown away and branches 

being discarded, as well as “protein” (bugs 

mostly). With machine harvesting, everything 

goes in. Mistakes happen and stuff ends 

up in the mix. Most wines must go through 

a protein test, as only so much protein is 

allowed, but we don’t need to with our wine 

since the harvest is hand-checked from 

beginning to end. And that whole process 

happens over many nights—it’s tiring! 

With the harvest over, what’s on the 

horizon? 

I really look forward to the events now and 

meeting customers. Last month, we had the 

“I Love Lucy” grape stomp, which is a lot of 

fun and always sells out. 

And finally, we have to ask, which is 

your favorite wine? 

I make 36 wines, and my favorite mostly 

depends on the food, but also on who I’m 

with, what time of day it is, the temperature, 

and maybe my view (the ocean? the 

mountains? my backyard?). Put all those 

together, and I’ve got a favorite wine!

Spotlight on 

Carin 

Brooks 

by JENNIFER MARAGONI 

Hard-shelled gourds have been used for thousands of years to 

make musical instruments, tools, containers, jewelry, ceremonial 

masks, and décor, among other things. And artists around the 

world continue to create intricate works of art using gourds as their canvas. 

Rocklin-based artist Carin Brooks has been creating gourd 

art since 2007. “All my life I’ve worked with different forms of art, 

including painting, stained glass, and, briefly, silver jewelry. I saw a 

gourd class advertised at the local art store and decided to give it a try. 

I was hooked.” 

Brooks, who grew up in Sweden, came to the U.S. in her early 20s to 

work as a flight attendant for Pan Am. “The plan was to stay a year and a 

half, buy a car, and go back home. Fifty years later, and I’m still here and 

haven’t regretted it. I love living here.” 

Each of her designs is as unique as the gourds they’re created 

on—from spring flowers and fall leaves, to hummingbirds, horses, 

and themed gourds for Halloween and Christmas. She was even 

commissioned to create a music-themed gourd, which features a piano, 

a guitar, and music notes. Brooks’ gourds are available at For the Love 

of Art Gallery in Auburn, which opened in March and is “an absolute 

blessing to be a part of,” Brooks says.

What do you enjoy about creating 

gourd art? 

It’s meditative to work on a gourd and watch it 

become a piece of art. Oftentimes, the result is 

totally different from what I first started out creating. 

Where do you find your inspiration? 

It can be a picture, something in nature, or a piece 

of fabric; sometimes it just comes to me while 

working on a gourd. 

What tools do you use? 

For carving, a Dremel (rotary tool) and a variety 

of special bits—a mini jigsaw for cutting, a burn 

tool for pyrography, a heat gun to set 

the inks, and a drill for holes, among 

other things. 

Tell me about your process. 

First, I draw on the gourd with a pencil. 

Then I outline the drawing with a 

burning tool, clean the gourd, and 

apply the ink and varnish. After, I do the 

carving and the cutting. Finally, I varnish 

everything again. 

Where do you get your gourds? 

For the last few years, I’ve been ordering 

them from Southern California. Bottleand 

pear-shaped gourds are my favorite. 

When I lived in Nevada City, I grew my 

own. You have to leave them on the 

vine until the vine dies, so the gourds 

dry properly. It can take six months for 

them to dry from the inside out. 

How long does it take you to 

complete a piece? 

It varies greatly, depending on size, 

carving, cutting, pyrography, and 

design, but anywhere from eight to 50 

hours. I usually work on four pieces 

at a time, all in different phases of 

development, so as not to rush any 

part of the process. 

What are some of the 

challenges in creating 

gourd art? 

It’s a lot of work to clean out the 

inside of a gourd. I used to scrape it 

by hand, but it can take hours. Now I 

use special bits on my drill to loosen 

everything up or order pre-cleaned 

gourds; they cost more, but it’s worth 

it. Also, the shell is very hard and can 

be three-quarters of an inch thick, 

but I prefer that for carving, because 

it gives me a lot more to work with. 

I love to do the carving and with a 

thick shell, I can layer a deep carving. 

When cutting and carving shapes, I 

have to keep the integrity of the gourd 

in mind so it doesn’t break. I do all 

my carving outside because it’s messy, 

which is challenging in hot weather. 

Creating gourd art is a lot of work. You 

have to really enjoy it. 

Are your gourds ever 

intended to hold things or 

serve a purpose other than 

decoration? 

You can’t put liquids in them; some 

people try to seal them, but I don’t 

recommend it. The gourd is porous and 

could absorb the liquid, which would 

ruin it. I’ve made many bowls to hold 

dry items as well as breadbaskets. I’ve 

also created several thunder gourds 

(drums made of gourds with a spring 

attached to the drumhead). When you 

shake it, it sounds just like thunder. 

What is the best compliment 

you can get about your art? 

When someone asks me to create a 

special gourd for them and they’re 

excited about the result. Many 

customers have ordered additional 

pieces on commission.

Courage 

is Calling 

How to Face Your Fears 

by JENNIFER MARAGONI 

Everyone has fears. 

There’s arachnophobia, 

the fear of spiders; 

claustrophobia, the 

fear of confined 

spaces; and 

coulrophobia, the 

fear of clowns. But 

these are phobias— 

intense, irrational, 

often paralyzing fears 

triggered by a certain 

object or situation. A 

person may know their 

phobia isn’t warranted, 

but can’t help feeling 

extremely anxious 

when confronted. 

Unlike these phobias, though, most 

people’s fears wouldn’t make very 

riveting horror movies. “Sometimes 

we fear the creaky sounds the 

house makes at night, but most 

people more commonly relate to 

the universal fears of abandonment, 

loss of identity or meaning, death, 

sickness, or pain,” explains Hannah 

Zackney, a licensed marriage and 

family therapist and owner/director 

of Heart Wide Open Wellness 

(hannahzackney.com/heart-wideopen), 

a holistic counseling center. 

Unlike a phobia, a rational fear 

is “a real and possible concern that 

requires a mindful approach to 

a potentially dangerous event or 

object,” she says, adding that her 

clients often know exactly what 

“big issue” they need to address, 

but are convinced if they face it, 

they’ll unravel irreparably. However, 

inaction often leads to a life of 

regrets. 

“Many of my clients have the 

‘fear of not being enough.’ Not smart 

enough. Not articulate enough. 

Not a good enough partner,” adds 

professional life coach Jenifer Novak, 

founder of Fully Expressed Living 

(fullyexpressedpotential.com). “These 

basic fears aren’t unique, but the 

person is so absorbed in their own 

story, they can’t see outside of it.” 

Sharing our fears with a therapist, 

a good friend, or a support group is 

extremely powerful, because they 

can remind us how normal our 

thinking is, Zackney says.

ACROSS FROM CARMAX


Zackney breaks it into five steps: 

STEP 1: Accept it. Fear is a part 

of being human. The goal 

is not to get rid of it, but 

rather to accept it and move 

forward anyway. 

STEP 2: Name it. Simply saying 

“I’m afraid, unsure, scared, 

nervous, etc.” will diffuse the 

intensity and bring clarity. 

STEP 3: Feel it. This doesn’t 

mean suffer or indulge the 

fear. It means feel it to the 

degree you’re comfortable 

with for as long as you can, 

as many times as needed, 

until you have the sense of 

ownership over it. Success 

is demonstrated by your 

increasing ability to feel the 

fear, not the absence of it. 

WHAT IS FEAR? 

Fear in itself isn’t a bad thing. It’s a 

basic human emotion that is triggered 

when we sense danger—an internal 

warning signal that can protect us 

from harm. If we see a vicious-looking 

animal or smell smoke in the house, 

our fear response kicks in. But many 

common fears revolve around what 

others might think of us. For example, 

we fear that if we admit we were 

wrong, someone won’t trust us again. 

Or that if we take a stand at work, we’ll 

be seen as bossy. 

Our thoughts drive our fears, 

explains Novak. If you think a situation 

will have a negative consequence, your 

fear response is activated. 

We can’t control our basic 

emotions, only how we respond. 

Novak describes fear as “information 

and an opportunity,” adding that 

what matters is what we do when we 

encounter it. Sometimes fear causes 

people to feel stuck, she says, but that’s 

an opportunity to reflect on what’s 

needed to move forward courageously. 

Likewise, Zackney describes fears 

as “beautiful invitations to uncover 

growth and potential.” 

OVERCOMING FEAR 

Sometimes you must face your fears 

head on. Exposure therapy is usually 

highly effective, but you have to focus on 

progress, not perfection, says Zackney. 

“You’re scared to speak in public, so 

you find a safe space and practice,” she 

suggests. “You fear driving at night, so 

you begin practicing at dusk. A big or 

little step forward will do. Just make 

sure you’re moving toward your fear 

rather than running away from it.” 

Novak agrees, calling it a journey, 

not a finish line to cross quickly. As a 

life coach, she addresses clients’ fears 

by asking questions, such as “What is 

the voice of fear saying compared to 

what the voice of courage is saying?” 

The “miracle question,” says Zackney, 

“is ‘What would I do or how would I act 

if I wasn’t afraid?’ The answer usually 

informs the client of the next step.” 

Ready to tackle a fear? Novak 

suggests starting with a mindfulness 

approach. When you’re feeling fearful, 

“slow your breath. Notice only the 

inhale and exhale. Breathe in courage 

and breathe out fear. Notice if you 

feel different in your body. Notice the 

effect on your thinking.” 

STEP 4: Take action. Move 

toward not away from 

whatever scares you. If you’re 

scared of speaking up, find 

a safe environment where 

you can start to express your 

truth. 

STEP 5: Keep practicing. 

This is not a one-and-done 

process. You have to work 

your progress like a muscle 

to keep it strong. 

WHEN TO SEEK HELP 

Many people know what they 

need to address but struggle 

to move forward. If your fears 

are interfering with your 

enjoyment of life, growth, 

relationships, or sense of self, 

it’s time to ask for help. 

“Often, all we need is 

the support of a friend or 

professional to encourage us 

and hold us accountable,” says 

Zackney. “Very few of us can 

make lasting change alone. If 

you’re one of them, good for 

you! But if not, don’t shame 

yourself for needing a bit of 

help. Most of us do.”

LOCATED NEAR: 

Truckee. 

DISTANCE: 

6.7 miles (out and back). 

DIFFICULTY LEVEL: 

Moderate. 

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: 

Mosquitoes have been abundant 

this year, so prepare accordingly by 

bringing bug spray. Several streams 

along the way can be used to filter 

drinking water, so packing a filter 

and/or iodine tablets is advised. 

Leashed dogs are allowed. Be sure 

to dress in layers, especially this 

time of year, and wear good shoes 

with traction. As always, respect the 

mountain and Leave No Trace. 

WHY WE LOVE IT: 

Despite some freeway noise, the 

ample panoramic views, beautiful 

forest scenery, and wildflowers 

make up for it and will have you 

forgetting you’re only miles from 

civilization.

Braised Bratwurst with dill caraway 

sauerkraut and pickled red cabbage, 

plus your choice of beer cheese,

that their lager makes for a perfect

On-Trail Water 

Purification 

There are many 

products and 

various options for 

purifying water in the 

backcountry. Here are 

a few simple ways to 

stay hydrated without 

packing extra weight. 

➊ 

Lifestraw 

This simple, lightweight 

option allows you to drink 

directly from a water source. 

While it doesn’t filter water 

into a bottle, it’s one of the 

most compact tools on this 

list. If you’re hiking along a 

constant source of water (like 

a stream or river), this is a 

great option. 

➋ 

Pump filters 

You can use these filters to 

pump the exact amount of 

water you need, but pumping 

can be a bit of a chore if done 

often, and is also bulkier than 

other options. 

➌ 

UV light purifiers 

These pen-style purifiers use 

UV rays to treat water in your 

bottle. Just turn it on, drop it 

in, and wait. Note: This option 

requires batteries, which 

can add complications, and 

it doesn’t filter anything out 

(leaving murky water murky); 

multiple treatments are 

needed for larger quantities. 

➍ 

Bottle filters 

This is a convenient way to 

simply fill your bottle and 

move on. The built-in filter 

purifies water as you drink it. 

The con? You’ll have to clean 

your filter on the trail. 

➎ 

Chemical tablets 

Iodine tablets are an ultralight 

and inexpensive way 

to purify your water. They 

do have a chemically taste, 

require more time to purify, 

and may pose complications 

for certain conditions 

(pregnancy, thyroid issues, 

etc.). Despite the negatives, 

they’re a great back-up option 

to always keep in your first 

aid kit. 

Do 

you have a 

favorite trail in the 

region you’d like to see 

featured? Tell us all

The Gift of Kids Daycare and Preschool 

Jennifer Tommasini 

5130 Golden Foothill Pkwy. | El Dorado Hills 

916-521-1835 | www.thegiftof kids.net 

Lic# 09616199, 093616198, 093620102 

I would like to thank everyone for their vote for #1 Best Preschool 

8 years in a row, and continuing to trust us with your precious 

children. I love being part of this community and helping children 

learn and grow. 

My name is Jennifer Tommasini, the owner/director of The Gift 

of Kids Daycare and Preschool. I’ve lived in El Dorado Hills for 20 

years and I have four children. 

My journey into the childcare field began in 1999 when I was left 

disappointed in my search for ”the right” childcare for my son. 

After going through many programs and with my daughter on 

the way (who is a Chico State gratduate and is now a teacher at 

The Gift of Kids), I began to reflect upon my family’s needs. It was 

then that I changed my career focus and ventured into childcare. 

My mission is to provide a nurturing, loving, safe and educational 

environment for every child. 

In September 2000, I opened my home to three newborns, two 

2-year-olds and a 3-year-old. I immediately knew that this was my 

calling. Everything felt so natural. I went back to school full time 

for early childhood education and started my own preschool 

program that incorporated home-cooked meals, planned outings, 

and practiced an advanced curriculum with structured activities 

that fostered learning. 

In 2007 I opened a small pre-school with 60 families while 

continuing my in-home daycare. In 2010 I expanded again, 

bringing my preschool and in home-daycare under one roof—The 

Gift of Kids and Preschool is now located off Latrobe Road in 

Business Park 1. It has been a dream to serve so many children 

and give families the satisfaction I never felt when my son was 

in daycare. I pride myself on offering a safe place for families to 

bring their children. 

The Gift of Kids currently has 32 wonderful, loving, professional 

teachers and over 200 children. We provide care for infants, 

preschoolers and private kindergarten. Although the size seems 

large, the classrooms have a homey feel where the teachers 

truly care about each child’s development. We work together 

on communicating with parents and developing each child’s 

individual needs. It delights me that so many children have the 

opportunity to experience our program.

Nestled on the southern edge of Folsom’s Historic District, 

Red Bus Brewing Company has quickly become a popular 

destination for craft beer lovers in the region. The brewery’s 

mascot is a red 1968 VW Bus and features a wide array of beer 

offerings. Ranging from takes on today’s trendy Hazy IPA’s to 

traditional classics including English ales and lagers, Red Bus 

is sure to have something on tap for even the most discerning 

of beer palates. We have recently added wine and cider to our 

offering that all go great with our wood fired pizza most nights. 

Thank you to the Style Magazine readers for voting us Best 

Brewery in the region for 2023! 

The Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary provides a safe haven for 

dozens of rescued wild and domestic animals. Touring the 

zoo sanctuary is the perfect way to spend the day and get 

to know the charming animal residents, including bears, 

wolf-hybrids, exotic felines, monkeys, birds, raptors, reptiles, 

insects, and many more. 

Take a stroll on scenic pathways that wind through the zoo 

sanctuary while you learn the story of each special animal. All 

animal residents of the zoo sanctuary are provided with the 

best environment and loving care for their needs.

Q: WHAT MAKES DARK 

CHOCOLATE "HEALTHIER" 

THAN MILK CHOCOLATE? 

A: Chocolate has been analyzed, 

studied, and shown to have 

numerous health benefits. 

There are other ingredients in 

it, however, like milk and sugar, 

that don’t contribute to the 

true benefits of chocolate. This 

makes dark chocolate—which 

is referred to as semi-sweet, 

bittersweet, extra bittersweet, or 

pure unsweetened chocolate— 

healthier than milk chocolate. The 

higher cocoa percentage, the 

higher the health benefits.

Vista Verde Ranch 

by WENDY SIPPLE 

Are you seeking 

something, and 

somewhere, 

different for 

this year’s 

vacation? Say 

bye-bye to 

beaches, dayslong 

Disneyland 

excursions, 

and Hawaii for 

the hundredth 

time, and consider a dude ranch instead. 

Nestled in the heart of the Colorado 

Rockies, Vista Verde Ranch 

(vistaverde.com) is an all-inclusive getaway 

that provides the perfect blend of bespoke 

adventure, relaxation, and luxury—with a 

beautiful backdrop to boot. 

Ditch your electronics and enjoy 

exploring breathtaking mountain trails 

on horseback, hiking through pristine 

forests, or discovering the thrill of 

whitewater rafting. 

After a day of play, unwind in your 

cozy, private cabin, featuring rustic 

elegance and modern amenities for a 

truly indulgent stay. Note the rooms don’t 

have TVs—but trust us, you won’t miss 

them, especially because each cabin has 

its own hot tub—a much-needed amenity 

after partaking in the on-site activities. 

And did we mention the food? 

Savor gourmet meals prepared by 

professionally trained chefs while 

enjoying friendly company at communal 

dining tables. 

Getting there is easy—both United 

Airlines and Southwest Airlines fly into 

Yampa Valley Regional Airport (HDN) 

serving Steamboat Springs, and Vista Verde 

provides a shuttle to and from the ranch. 

With a warm, welcoming staff 

dedicated to making your trip 

extraordinary, Vista Verde Ranch 

promises a once-in-a-lifetime 

experience—for families, couples, solo

Feels Like Home 

5 STEPS TO A HOMIER HOUSE 

by NELLY KISLYANKA 

Pull out your pumpkin spice-scented 

candles—autumn is upon us! With shorter 

days and cooler temps shooing us indoors 

for bake nights with friends and spooky 

movie marathons, we’ve turned our attention 

to transitioning our homes for fall festivities. If 

your living space is only fit for the living dead, 

fear not! We’ve rounded up the top tricks for 

a homier home. 

“Decluttering is the 

secret ingredient to a 

simpler and more enjoyable 

day-to-day life." 

1. Put everything in its place 

Creating a serene space in which you can relax 

begins with organization. Organizing may not be 

the most thrilling step in preparing your place for 

fall, but it should be the first. “When your home 

is clutter-free, and everything has a designated 

place, you'll find it much easier to maintain that 

cozy atmosphere. Decluttering is the secret 

ingredient to a simpler and more enjoyable dayto-day 

life,” says Cathy Tonks, founder of Designs 

With You in Mind (designswithyouinmind.net).

“Don’t get so caught 

up in executing a 

picture-perfect 

design that your 

home feels staged. 

Instead, incorporate 

mementos of 

sentimental value 

and cherished 

family pieces.” 

ACHIEVE THE LOOK: Start with purging! 

Tonks recommends dedicating 20 

minutes a day to purging and organizing 

one section of your home. Breaking up 

the mammoth task of decluttering into 20 

minutes daily keeps it from overwhelming 

you but is still incredibly effective. “Before 

you know it, you'll have cleared out 

unnecessary belongings and created a 

clean canvas for your cozy haven.” Moving 

forward, Tonks recommends making a 

habit of removing two items for every new 

item you bring into your home. “Trust 

me—this little practice will go a long way 

in preserving the cozy vibe you desire,” 

she says. 

2. Create a cozy reading nook 

“Creating a cozy nook in your living room 

provides a comfortable corner where you 

can sink into the embrace of an armchair 

and indulge in a good book,” says 

Christina Lisetsky, designer at Curated 

Spaces and Skyline Build & Design 

(skylinebuildinc.com). If your house is 

fresh out of alcoves to accommodate 

a reading nook, create a designated 

area within a larger space by carefully 

arranging furniture and strategically 

placing rugs to maximize the use of 

available space. 

ACHIEVE THE LOOK: According 

to Lisetsky, “the key to successfully 

implementing this technique is to 

consider the flow of movement within 

your home and the natural divisions 

that exist.” Decide on the distinct zones 

you wish to create with this information 

in mind, then define them with rugs. 

“Incorporating rugs in each zone not only 

adds comfort underfoot but also helps in 

visually separating the spaces while tying 

the overall design together,” says Lisetsky. 

3. Set the mood with lighting 

According to Jenny Levitsky, owner 

of Ultimate Designs & Kitchen Goods 

(ultimatedesignkitchens.com), “The 

right lighting is essential to create cozy 

environments.” It can even help you 

unwind after a busy day. 

ACHIEVE THE LOOK: “Use quality 

dimmable lighting with floor and table 

lamps rather than all ceiling lighting. 

Multiple sources let you use different 

types throughout the day and can help 

illuminate separate areas where you 

want to get cozy without lighting up 

the whole space,” advises Levitsky. She 

also recommends utilizing candles and 

your fireplace to cast a soft glow upon 

a room. 

4. Layer up 

Build a cozy ambiance through the 

art of layering. “A stark sofa with no 

layered pillows is not as inviting as one 

with soft textures added,” says Levitsky, 

“Having a comfy throw nearby says, 

‘come get cozy!’” Be careful to strike the 

right balance when layering, though, 

cautions Tonks; you don’t want to 

overcrowd a space. 

ACHIEVE THE LOOK: At the heart 

of layering is texture. Decorative 

pillows and blankets with diverse 

textures not only create visual interest 

but evoke comfort through touch. 

“When envisioning coziness, one 

often imagines snuggling under a soft 

blanket with a couple of plush pillows,” 

says Lisetsky. Some textures to play 

with in your home this fall are boucle, 

chunky cable knits, woven plaids, 

jacquard, and plush faux mink. 

5. Add some love 

Love is what makes a house a home. 

Don’t get so caught up in executing a 

picture-perfect design that your home 

feels staged. Instead, incorporate 

mementos of sentimental value and 

cherished family pieces. “Remember, 

creating a cozy home is about more 

than just aesthetics. It's about creating 

a nurturing environment that makes 

you feel truly at ease,” reminds Tonks. 

Don’t just do what you see on TV 

design shows, advises Levitsky. “Bring 

your own personal touches to add 

elements of love that make a space feel 

warm and cozy.” 

ACHIEVE THE LOOK: “Add family 

photographs or art from your favorite 

travels,” Levitsky recommends. She also 

encourages mixing in hand-me-down 

furnishings from a favorite relative. As 

a bonus, sentimental pieces fill your 

home with stories that make great 

dinner conversation.

Mexico Lindo

Birria Tacos 

▼ 

A 

re you searching for a new neighborhood happy hour hang that serves 

scratch-made Mexican cuisine? You may have just found it. Mexico 

Lindo is a hop, skip, jump (and maybe even a quick bike ride) away—with two 

convenient locations—and serves up tacos and margaritas…fast! 

Upon arrival, the hostess quickly brought us to a table on the eatery’s open, 

airy patio. If, like me, you arrive thirsty for a tasty and well-priced happy hour 

margarita, you’ve come to the right place. A double margarita for $9? Yes, 

please. 

The hostess, who was also our bartender and server (or should I say, super 

server), shook it up, and brought it out within minutes. Finding a happy hour 

spot with a patio and decently priced, well-made drinks was a huge win for me. 

I couldn’t have been más feliz. 

We perused the menu while nibbling on complimentary chips and salsa. 

The chips were homemade, and the red salsa was, to my delight, a bit spicy. 

Tasty chips and salsa? An added point on the books for Mexico Lindo.
