| editor’s letter |<br />

Every time I go grocery shopping, I’m<br />

baffled by the sky-high prices. It seems<br />

like overnight, the cost of everything<br />

my family of four regularly consumes<br />

(bread, bananas, peanut butter, eggs,<br />

apples, the list goes on…), quadrupled.<br />

Even a small trip results in a big price tag.<br />

Thankfully, I have some savvy spending hacks up<br />

my sleeve (is extreme bargain hunting considered<br />

a hobby?!) that help me shave a tiny bit off the bill.<br />

Even so, at the end of the day (and month!), eating is<br />

expensive.<br />

But it isn’t just the supermarket that has me<br />

cringing when the credit card bill comes. Dining<br />

out, working out, childcare, a cup of coffee, car<br />

maintenance…it all adds up. And while not all these<br />

expenses are essential, they certainly help keep me<br />

sane and smiling.<br />

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

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

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

small business, then I’ll happily fork over the funds.<br />

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

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

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

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

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

haircut, home remodeler, handyman, or new happy hour hangout, why not give one<br />

of this year’s winners a whirl?<br />

And if free stuff is more your forte, you’re also in<br />

“Money will luck! There are ample activities tucked inside this<br />

buy you a month’s magazine that cost zero dollars. Check out<br />

the Calendar (page 32) for over 10 of them (including<br />

fine dog,<br />

<strong>STYLE</strong> ’s own Folsom Family Expo on October 14).<br />

but only Something else that’s always free? Fresh air! Flip to<br />

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

overflowing with flowers and unforgettable forest<br />

make it wag<br />

views. Finally, for five free ways to make your home<br />

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

—Richard Friedman Money may buy happiness (to an extent) and keep<br />

your family fed, but sometimes the best things in life<br />

truly are free—like listening to music while flipping through a magazine, soaking<br />

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

ones. Cheers!<br />

TREES,PLEASE!<br />

Did you know fall is the perfect season to plant trees?<br />

Thanks to warm soil and mild temperatures, trees<br />

planted now will spend time developing a larger root<br />

zone—ultimately helping them to face next summer with<br />

super strength. To read about 5 must-plant fall trees,<br />

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

favorite thrillers curled up on the couch, but when you’re ready to<br />

experience the real deal, choose one of these 10 local haunts—pun<br />

intended. Whether you love getting super scared, are a history buff,<br />

like a bit of putt-putt with your Halloween, or spirits are more your<br />

thing, there's something for everyone.<br />

Heartstoppers Haunted<br />

House offers multiple rooms<br />

with various themes—ranging<br />

from Old West zombies to<br />

steampunk horror in a medical<br />

ward. Sited in Rancho Cordova,<br />

the attraction has been around<br />

for over 15 years and is truly a<br />

haunting experience—one that's<br />

not recommended for anyone<br />

under the age of 13. Speaking<br />

of 13, they’re usually open for<br />

this many nights during the<br />

Halloween season. 2300 Mine<br />

Shaft Lane, Rancho Cordova, 916-<br />

572-2733, heartstoppershaunt.com<br />

Take in a haunted house<br />

experience—in an actual<br />

haunted “house.” The setting,<br />

you ask? Preston Castle—a<br />

former reform school for<br />

boys with many reports<br />

of paranormal activity.<br />

The 2019 movie Apparition was filmed here, and the<br />

property has been featured on such shows as Ghost<br />

Adventures and Ghost Hunters. Two different admission<br />

times will be held on October 13-24, 20-21, and 27-28.<br />

900 Palm Drive, Ione, 209-256-3623, prestoncastle.org<br />

Main Street in Placerville is home to the historic Cary<br />

House Hotel where a former employee named<br />

Stan went to work and never returned home. As the<br />

story goes, Stan angered a man at the hotel and was<br />

stabbed. Rooms 406 and 208, along with the lobby,<br />

are where Stan likes to be the most. There’s been<br />

reports of piano music that can only be heard in certain<br />

— Day in the Life —<br />

Dr. Grover Lee<br />

Owner &<br />

Executive<br />

Winemaker<br />

at Wise Villa<br />

Winery<br />

by CAROLINE KINGS<br />

When you think of<br />

Placer County, what<br />

do you think of? Gold<br />

Rush-era towns? Juicy<br />

mandarins? Yearround<br />

recreation? A<br />

fabulous food scene?<br />

Well, think again, as<br />

there’s something<br />

else to be added to<br />

the list; nestled within<br />

the granite and gold<br />

are grapes, including<br />

the ones grown at<br />

Wise Villa Winery<br />

(wisevillawinery.com).<br />

Based in Lincoln, Wise<br />

Villa was established<br />

by Dr. Grover<br />

Lee: wine lover,<br />

connoisseur, and<br />

producer. His awardwinning<br />

wines are the<br />

result of a scientific<br />

approach combined<br />

with the European<br />

romanticism of wine<br />

making.<br />

Please tell us about your story so far.<br />

I grew up near Modesto surrounded by<br />

vineyards as far as the eye could see. They<br />

were our playground and then later, a<br />

place of work. If I wanted anything new, I<br />

had to work for it, so I was employed at the<br />

nearby E. & J. Gallo Winery. This is where I<br />

first started learning vine management. In<br />

college, I was a scientist but also interested<br />

in wine. I would take myself to the library<br />

to study grapes and wine production; the<br />

science behind it, the bacteriology, and<br />

the biochemistry caught my attention.<br />

I also had a roommate who worked in<br />

a wine shop; he would bring home the<br />

ends of bottles of nice European wine,<br />

which we’d enjoy. Then, I went to Europe<br />

and travelled around France, Germany,<br />

and Spain visiting chateaus, meeting wine<br />

producers, tasting wine, and learning as<br />

much as possible about the whole process.<br />

I’m a huge fan of Europe; in fact, both<br />

my children spent time studying there at<br />

different stages of their education.<br />

Lucky you and your kids! California is<br />

renowned for its wine, but was there<br />

a reason you chose Lincoln over other,<br />

more “traditional” wine-growing<br />

regions in the state?<br />

Yes, absolutely. Lincoln is a “wine oasis!” It<br />

has consistent temperatures, around 90/95<br />

degrees, and is cooler than other parts of<br />

the area, dropping nicely during the night.<br />

We also have rolling hills, which are perfect<br />

for planting vines and an early springtime.<br />

In France, I learned about the importance of<br />

the terroir, the very earth in which the vines<br />

are planted, which was an important factor<br />

in establishing my winery in Placer County.<br />

Lincoln benefits from an “inversion layer,”<br />

which means that, unlike other Californian<br />

wine regions, Wise Villa doesn’t suffer<br />

from frosts in the winter, which can ruin<br />

grape crops and are dreaded by vintners.<br />

The grapes grow in an environmental “safe<br />

haven” here.<br />

How would you describe your wines?<br />

In Europe, I started to realize the difference<br />

between Americans’ and Europeans’<br />

expectations of how wine should taste.<br />

Typically, Americans are looking for cocktailtype<br />

flavors—sweet and fruity—whereas,<br />

typically, Europeans want something they<br />

can drink over a long period of time, like an<br />

evening meal. We’re aiming for somewhere<br />

between the two with ours. We produce 36<br />

different wines and have recreated favorites<br />

from across the globe, so there’s something<br />

for everyone.<br />

You’ve just gone through the grape<br />

harvest. Please tell us about this process.<br />

July to September is grape harvest time—<br />

the most laborious time of year. The team<br />

works on the hills through the night,<br />

from 11 p.m.-3 a.m., hand-picking grapes<br />

and carefully collecting them. This is the<br />

coolest time of the day, so the grapes are<br />

plucked at the perfect temperature for cold<br />

fermentation—a critical component of our<br />

wines. We have approximately 18 varietals of<br />

grapes that are planted according to their<br />

needs (temperature, drainage, sunlight, etc.)<br />

to produce the optimum crop of grapes.<br />

Grapes aren’t picked en masse as may be the<br />

case at other wineries where machines are<br />

used. Even during the night, each bunch is<br />

assessed for ripeness before being picked.<br />

The team could be returning to each varietal’s<br />

vines over several nights before all the grapes<br />

are harvested.<br />

By 8 a.m., at the latest, the grapes are in the<br />

winery and the doors are closed to maintain<br />

the refrigerated temperature. The grapes<br />

are checked every step of the way with bad<br />

grapes being thrown away and branches<br />

being discarded, as well as “protein” (bugs<br />

mostly). With machine harvesting, everything<br />

goes in. Mistakes happen and stuff ends<br />

up in the mix. Most wines must go through<br />

a protein test, as only so much protein is<br />

allowed, but we don’t need to with our wine<br />

since the harvest is hand-checked from<br />

beginning to end. And that whole process<br />

happens over many nights—it’s tiring!<br />

With the harvest over, what’s on the<br />

horizon?<br />

I really look forward to the events now and<br />

meeting customers. Last month, we had the<br />

“I Love Lucy” grape stomp, which is a lot of<br />

fun and always sells out.<br />

And finally, we have to ask, which is<br />

your favorite wine?<br />

I make 36 wines, and my favorite mostly<br />

depends on the food, but also on who I’m<br />

with, what time of day it is, the temperature,<br />

and maybe my view (the ocean? the<br />

mountains? my backyard?). Put all those<br />

together, and I’ve got a favorite wine!<br />

Spotlight on<br />

Carin<br />

Brooks<br />

by JENNIFER MARAGONI<br />

Hard-shelled gourds have been used for thousands of years to<br />

make musical instruments, tools, containers, jewelry, ceremonial<br />

masks, and décor, among other things. And artists around the<br />

world continue to create intricate works of art using gourds as their canvas.<br />

Rocklin-based artist Carin Brooks has been creating gourd<br />

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

including painting, stained glass, and, briefly, silver jewelry. I saw a<br />

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

I was hooked.”<br />

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

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

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

haven’t regretted it. I love living here.”<br />

Each of her designs is as unique as the gourds they’re created<br />

on—from spring flowers and fall leaves, to hummingbirds, horses,<br />

and themed gourds for Halloween and Christmas. She was even<br />

commissioned to create a music-themed gourd, which features a piano,<br />

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

of Art Gallery in Auburn, which opened in March and is “an absolute<br />

blessing to be a part of,” Brooks says.<br />

What do you enjoy about creating<br />

gourd art?<br />

It’s meditative to work on a gourd and watch it<br />

become a piece of art. Oftentimes, the result is<br />

totally different from what I first started out creating.<br />

Where do you find your inspiration?<br />

It can be a picture, something in nature, or a piece<br />

of fabric; sometimes it just comes to me while<br />

working on a gourd.<br />

What tools do you use?<br />

For carving, a Dremel (rotary tool) and a variety<br />

of special bits—a mini jigsaw for cutting, a burn<br />

tool for pyrography, a heat gun to set<br />

the inks, and a drill for holes, among<br />

other things.<br />

Tell me about your process.<br />

First, I draw on the gourd with a pencil.<br />

Then I outline the drawing with a<br />

burning tool, clean the gourd, and<br />

apply the ink and varnish. After, I do the<br />

carving and the cutting. Finally, I varnish<br />

everything again.<br />

Where do you get your gourds?<br />

For the last few years, I’ve been ordering<br />

them from Southern California. Bottleand<br />

pear-shaped gourds are my favorite.<br />

When I lived in Nevada City, I grew my<br />

own. You have to leave them on the<br />

vine until the vine dies, so the gourds<br />

dry properly. It can take six months for<br />

them to dry from the inside out.<br />

How long does it take you to<br />

complete a piece?<br />

It varies greatly, depending on size,<br />

carving, cutting, pyrography, and<br />

design, but anywhere from eight to 50<br />

hours. I usually work on four pieces<br />

at a time, all in different phases of<br />

development, so as not to rush any<br />

part of the process.<br />

What are some of the<br />

challenges in creating<br />

gourd art?<br />

It’s a lot of work to clean out the<br />

inside of a gourd. I used to scrape it<br />

by hand, but it can take hours. Now I<br />

use special bits on my drill to loosen<br />

everything up or order pre-cleaned<br />

gourds; they cost more, but it’s worth<br />

it. Also, the shell is very hard and can<br />

be three-quarters of an inch thick,<br />

but I prefer that for carving, because<br />

it gives me a lot more to work with.<br />

I love to do the carving and with a<br />

thick shell, I can layer a deep carving.<br />

When cutting and carving shapes, I<br />

have to keep the integrity of the gourd<br />

in mind so it doesn’t break. I do all<br />

my carving outside because it’s messy,<br />

which is challenging in hot weather.<br />

Creating gourd art is a lot of work. You<br />

have to really enjoy it.<br />

Are your gourds ever<br />

intended to hold things or<br />

serve a purpose other than<br />

decoration?<br />

You can’t put liquids in them; some<br />

people try to seal them, but I don’t<br />

recommend it. The gourd is porous and<br />

could absorb the liquid, which would<br />

ruin it. I’ve made many bowls to hold<br />

dry items as well as breadbaskets. I’ve<br />

also created several thunder gourds<br />

(drums made of gourds with a spring<br />

attached to the drumhead). When you<br />

shake it, it sounds just like thunder.<br />

What is the best compliment<br />

you can get about your art?<br />

When someone asks me to create a<br />

special gourd for them and they’re<br />

excited about the result. Many<br />

customers have ordered additional<br />

pieces on commission.<br />

Courage<br />

is Calling<br />

How to Face Your Fears<br />

by JENNIFER MARAGONI<br />

Everyone has fears.<br />

There’s arachnophobia,<br />

the fear of spiders;<br />

claustrophobia, the<br />

fear of confined<br />

spaces; and<br />

coulrophobia, the<br />

fear of clowns. But<br />

these are phobias—<br />

intense, irrational,<br />

often paralyzing fears<br />

triggered by a certain<br />

object or situation. A<br />

person may know their<br />

phobia isn’t warranted,<br />

but can’t help feeling<br />

extremely anxious<br />

when confronted.<br />

Unlike these phobias, though, most<br />

people’s fears wouldn’t make very<br />

riveting horror movies. “Sometimes<br />

we fear the creaky sounds the<br />

house makes at night, but most<br />

people more commonly relate to<br />

the universal fears of abandonment,<br />

loss of identity or meaning, death,<br />

sickness, or pain,” explains Hannah<br />

Zackney, a licensed marriage and<br />

family therapist and owner/director<br />

of Heart Wide Open Wellness<br />

(hannahzackney.com/heart-wideopen),<br />

a holistic counseling center.<br />

Unlike a phobia, a rational fear<br />

is “a real and possible concern that<br />

requires a mindful approach to<br />

a potentially dangerous event or<br />

object,” she says, adding that her<br />

clients often know exactly what<br />

“big issue” they need to address,<br />

but are convinced if they face it,<br />

they’ll unravel irreparably. However,<br />

inaction often leads to a life of<br />

regrets.<br />

“Many of my clients have the<br />

‘fear of not being enough.’ Not smart<br />

enough. Not articulate enough.<br />

Not a good enough partner,” adds<br />

professional life coach Jenifer Novak,<br />

founder of Fully Expressed Living<br />

(fullyexpressedpotential.com). “These<br />

basic fears aren’t unique, but the<br />

person is so absorbed in their own<br />

story, they can’t see outside of it.”<br />

Sharing our fears with a therapist,<br />

a good friend, or a support group is<br />

extremely powerful, because they<br />

can remind us how normal our<br />

thinking is, Zackney says.<br />

Zackney breaks it into five steps:<br />

STEP 1: Accept it. Fear is a part<br />

of being human. The goal<br />

is not to get rid of it, but<br />

rather to accept it and move<br />

forward anyway.<br />

STEP 2: Name it. Simply saying<br />

“I’m afraid, unsure, scared,<br />

nervous, etc.” will diffuse the<br />

intensity and bring clarity.<br />

STEP 3: Feel it. This doesn’t<br />

mean suffer or indulge the<br />

fear. It means feel it to the<br />

degree you’re comfortable<br />

with for as long as you can,<br />

as many times as needed,<br />

until you have the sense of<br />

ownership over it. Success<br />

is demonstrated by your<br />

increasing ability to feel the<br />

fear, not the absence of it.<br />

WHAT IS FEAR?<br />

Fear in itself isn’t a bad thing. It’s a<br />

basic human emotion that is triggered<br />

when we sense danger—an internal<br />

warning signal that can protect us<br />

from harm. If we see a vicious-looking<br />

animal or smell smoke in the house,<br />

our fear response kicks in. But many<br />

common fears revolve around what<br />

others might think of us. For example,<br />

we fear that if we admit we were<br />

wrong, someone won’t trust us again.<br />

Or that if we take a stand at work, we’ll<br />

be seen as bossy.<br />

Our thoughts drive our fears,<br />

explains Novak. If you think a situation<br />

will have a negative consequence, your<br />

fear response is activated.<br />

We can’t control our basic<br />

emotions, only how we respond.<br />

Novak describes fear as “information<br />

and an opportunity,” adding that<br />

what matters is what we do when we<br />

encounter it. Sometimes fear causes<br />

people to feel stuck, she says, but that’s<br />

an opportunity to reflect on what’s<br />

needed to move forward courageously.<br />

Likewise, Zackney describes fears<br />

as “beautiful invitations to uncover<br />

growth and potential.”<br />

OVERCOMING FEAR<br />

Sometimes you must face your fears<br />

head on. Exposure therapy is usually<br />

highly effective, but you have to focus on<br />

progress, not perfection, says Zackney.<br />

“You’re scared to speak in public, so<br />

you find a safe space and practice,” she<br />

suggests. “You fear driving at night, so<br />

you begin practicing at dusk. A big or<br />

little step forward will do. Just make<br />

sure you’re moving toward your fear<br />

rather than running away from it.”<br />

Novak agrees, calling it a journey,<br />

not a finish line to cross quickly. As a<br />

life coach, she addresses clients’ fears<br />

by asking questions, such as “What is<br />

the voice of fear saying compared to<br />

what the voice of courage is saying?”<br />

The “miracle question,” says Zackney,<br />

“is ‘What would I do or how would I act<br />

if I wasn’t afraid?’ The answer usually<br />

informs the client of the next step.”<br />

Ready to tackle a fear? Novak<br />

suggests starting with a mindfulness<br />

approach. When you’re feeling fearful,<br />

“slow your breath. Notice only the<br />

inhale and exhale. Breathe in courage<br />

and breathe out fear. Notice if you<br />

feel different in your body. Notice the<br />

effect on your thinking.”<br />

STEP 4: Take action. Move<br />

toward not away from<br />

whatever scares you. If you’re<br />

scared of speaking up, find<br />

a safe environment where<br />

you can start to express your<br />

truth.<br />

STEP 5: Keep practicing.<br />

This is not a one-and-done<br />

process. You have to work<br />

your progress like a muscle<br />

to keep it strong.<br />

WHEN TO SEEK HELP<br />

Many people know what they<br />

need to address but struggle<br />

to move forward. If your fears<br />

are interfering with your<br />

enjoyment of life, growth,<br />

relationships, or sense of self,<br />

it’s time to ask for help.<br />

“Often, all we need is<br />

the support of a friend or<br />

professional to encourage us<br />

and hold us accountable,” says<br />

Zackney. “Very few of us can<br />

make lasting change alone. If<br />

you’re one of them, good for<br />

you! But if not, don’t shame<br />

yourself for needing a bit of<br />

help. Most of us do.”<br />

DISTANCE:<br />

6.7 miles (out and back).<br />

DIFFICULTY LEVEL:<br />

Moderate.<br />

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO:<br />

Mosquitoes have been abundant<br />

this year, so prepare accordingly by<br />

bringing bug spray. Several streams<br />

along the way can be used to filter<br />

drinking water, so packing a filter<br />

and/or iodine tablets is advised.<br />

Leashed dogs are allowed. Be sure<br />

to dress in layers, especially this<br />

time of year, and wear good shoes<br />

with traction. As always, respect the<br />

mountain and Leave No Trace.<br />

On-Trail Water<br />

Purification<br />

There are many<br />

products and<br />

various options for<br />

purifying water in the<br />

backcountry. Here are<br />

a few simple ways to<br />

stay hydrated without<br />

packing extra weight.<br />

➊<br />

Lifestraw<br />

This simple, lightweight<br />

option allows you to drink<br />

directly from a water source.<br />

While it doesn’t filter water<br />

into a bottle, it’s one of the<br />

most compact tools on this<br />

list. If you’re hiking along a<br />

constant source of water (like<br />

a stream or river), this is a<br />

great option.<br />

➋<br />

Pump filters<br />

You can use these filters to<br />

pump the exact amount of<br />

water you need, but pumping<br />

can be a bit of a chore if done<br />

often, and is also bulkier than<br />

other options.<br />

➌<br />

UV light purifiers<br />

These pen-style purifiers use<br />

UV rays to treat water in your<br />

bottle. Just turn it on, drop it<br />

in, and wait. Note: This option<br />

requires batteries, which<br />

can add complications, and<br />

it doesn’t filter anything out<br />

(leaving murky water murky);<br />

multiple treatments are<br />

needed for larger quantities.<br />

➍<br />

Bottle filters<br />

This is a convenient way to<br />

simply fill your bottle and<br />

move on. The built-in filter<br />

purifies water as you drink it.<br />

The con? You’ll have to clean<br />

your filter on the trail.<br />

➎<br />

Chemical tablets<br />

Iodine tablets are an ultralight<br />

and inexpensive way<br />

to purify your water. They<br />

do have a chemically taste,<br />

require more time to purify,<br />

and may pose complications<br />

for certain conditions<br />

(pregnancy, thyroid issues,<br />

etc.). Despite the negatives,<br />

they’re a great back-up option<br />

to always keep in your first<br />

aid kit.<br />

It is once again the GREATEST honor to be voted as a winner of the<br />

Best Dentist category in Roseville, Granite Bay and Rocklin, for 16<br />

years in a row.<br />

Dr. Nassif, along with his team at Dental Designs of Roseville, would<br />

like to take this opportunity to personally express our sincere<br />

gratitude for the trust you have placed in us when it comes to your<br />

dental care. The loyalty and support of our patients who have been<br />

with us for decades means so much to us and it is our honor to<br />

continue to serve you.<br />

Dr. Nassif brings extensive experience to advanced restorative and<br />

cosmetic dentistry and works closely with the most highly regarded<br />

specialists and lab technicians in the nation to provide every aspect of<br />

the highest quality of care available today. Our personal commitment<br />

is to you. We take pride in providing the highest quality of care<br />

and we never compromise our standards based on the insurance<br />

companies. Our practice has elevated our education and knowledge<br />

to assure that our patients receive the best and most current and<br />

compassionate care possible.<br />

We are proud to say that our team is made up of some of the<br />

most highly trained<br />

clinicians in the area.<br />

The Dental Design family is<br />

a team of people who commit to not only the patients but the<br />

comfort of knowing what to expect every time they walk through<br />

the door. The Dental Design team is blessed to have the trust and<br />

the confidence you put in us to refer your family and friends to<br />

us as well.<br />

That same philosophy of care applies to giving back to the<br />

community, as advocates and supporters of the American Cancer<br />

Society, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, St. Jude’s Children<br />

Research and many others. In 2019, Dr Nassif was awarded “Man of<br />

the Year” for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, with a record<br />

breaking donation and a “champion of hope” title. This would not<br />

have been possible without the outstanding and overwhelming<br />

support of the local communities.<br />

Mimi Nassif would like to thank all of her clients and friends who<br />

voted for her again as one of the Best Real Estate Agents in Roseville,<br />

Rocklin and Granite Bay in <strong>2023</strong>! This is her 11th consecutive year<br />

winning!<br />

Mimi Nassif, founder and CEO of Mimi Nassif Luxury Estates,<br />

exemplifies true entrepreneurship by her ambition, confidence,<br />

and tenacity. Mimi has built her firm to the successful enterprise it<br />

is today. Mimi Nassif Luxury Estates, located in the heart of Granite<br />

Bay, manages to remain boutique in feel and top notch in customer<br />

service.<br />

"Inspiring," "workaholic" and "passionate" are words commonly<br />

used to describe Mimi Nassif, the prime realtor of the luxury estate<br />

market, who has sold some of the most expensive homes per price<br />

and per square foot in Placer, Sacramento and El Dorado counties.<br />

Her key to customer satisfaction and success is the positive attitude<br />

and tireless energy she brings to every client with whom she works.<br />

Her exceptional marketing strategy is incomparable with any other<br />

real estate agent or broker and that's her secret for selling listings<br />

in all different price ranges in a very short time for top dollar. Along<br />

with her dedication and commitment to provide the highest quality<br />

of service she delivers both results AND an enjoyable experience.<br />

“My clients say that I make them feel like they are the only clients I’m<br />

working with,” offers Nassif. “I work 7-days-a-week, am very handson,<br />

honest, and stay in constant communication throughout the<br />

process.” A large part of her success relies on truly listening to her<br />

clients’ wants and needs. Mimi skillfully reads the market to maximize<br />

value and return for her clients no matter the environment. If during<br />

escrow Mimi faces complications, she finds creative ways to keep<br />

all parties calm and moving forward. Buying or selling real estate is<br />

a huge investment and involves a lot of emotion. It’s Mimi’s goal to<br />

keep everyone happy for a fruitful closing.<br />

Mimi has multiple degrees in business marketing, fashion design and<br />

interior design. She is Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist<br />

and is in the top 1% in the Placer County Association of Realtors<br />

Masters Club.<br />

Mimi is so grateful for all of her blessings and the success she has<br />

received in her real estate practice, along with the opportunity<br />

to give back to the community that has helped her in her career.<br />

She finds balance in life by donating her free time to non-profit<br />

organizations and a portion of her income to local charities and<br />

churches. Good things come to those who focus on the positive in<br />

life and take action, so when it comes to your next move—whether<br />

buying or selling - give Mimi a call. You can count on her to deliver<br />

exceptional results.<br />

Dr. Bogard and her team are honored and grateful to the <strong>STYLE</strong><br />

Magazine readers who voted Dr. Bogard #1 Best Doctor and #1 Best<br />

Medical Doctor; and Bogard Health & Wellness #1 Best Medical<br />

Practice; and #1 Best Weight Loss Centers/Clinics. It is our honor<br />

to be able to serve the local Roseville community.<br />

Dr. Bogard has a long history in the health field. From an RN<br />

to a nurse anesthetist to an anesthesiologist, she spent almost<br />

40 years in the operating room. She was exposed to critical<br />

care, trauma, obstetrics, lots of on call hours and sleepless<br />

nights. As she entered her 50's she found her own health<br />

starting to decline and sought out a healthy aging physician.<br />

After experiencing the benefits she sought out the fellowship<br />

of regenerative and healthy aging through the American<br />

Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine.<br />

She opened an office in 2014 and continues to grow and expand<br />

her knowledge into this evolving field of medicine. Rather than<br />

prescribing medications and bandaging diseases she looks<br />

for the "root causes" and integrates each system in the body<br />

together. She also looks at environmental, genetic and lifestyle<br />

factors which result in "dis-ease". Her continued and expanding<br />

practice utilizes bioidentical hormone replacement, thyroid<br />

and adrenal optimization, GI healing, testing for heavy metals<br />

and IV nutrition and chelation, advanced lipid testing, and<br />

advanced blood sugar testing.<br />

infants, kids, and adults of all skill levels. The school<br />

started modestly in Steve Wallen's backyard pool, and<br />

with your support, has grown into one of the most<br />

popular and respected swim schools in the area.<br />

On this subject, we are thrilled to announce that, with<br />

your help, we have been voted this year’s #1 Best Swim<br />

School and #1 Best Local Business for the 5th year in<br />

a row by Roseville/Rocklin/Granite Bay voters. SWSS<br />

is humbled and honored to receive these awards and<br />

wants to thank all our loyal customers and supporters<br />

who voted for us.<br />

We take great pride in the quality of service we provide<br />

each and every day, and it is tremendously rewarding to<br />

see that our customers feel the same way. Our state-ofthe-art<br />

indoor heated pool facility is open year-round<br />

for private and small group swim lessons, baby and me<br />

classes, and competitive swim lessons.<br />

We firmly believe that swimming is a life skill that<br />

should be practiced on a routine basis in order to retain<br />

developed skills and achieve maximum enjoyment in<br />

the water. Whatever your swim instruction needs, Steve<br />

Wallen Swim School is prepared to meet and exceed<br />

your expectations!<br />

There's something electric about travel "firsts." The first<br />

time you spot an elephant's tracks on your safari. Your first<br />

dip into the impossibly blue Fijian waters.<br />

One of my favorite travel firsts is a little different — it’s the<br />

first time I speak with a client. They tell me about their<br />

travel dreams, and I get excited thinking about how I will<br />

bring their dream to life.<br />

It's about crafting memories — the kind that truly last a<br />

lifetime.<br />

Being in the business of crafting memories takes a<br />

specialized set of skills — skills I have honed for the past<br />

19 years while traveling through 7 continents. When you<br />

trust me with your journey, I will unlock access to rarely<br />

ASK THE<br />

EXPERT<br />

by BELLA NOLEN<br />

Q: WHAT MAKES DARK<br />

CHOCOLATE "HEALTHIER"<br />

THAN MILK CHOCOLATE?<br />

A: Chocolate has been analyzed,<br />

studied, and shown to have<br />

numerous health benefits.<br />

There are other ingredients in<br />

it, however, like milk and sugar,<br />

that don’t contribute to the<br />

true benefits of chocolate. This<br />

makes dark chocolate—which<br />

is referred to as semi-sweet,<br />

bittersweet, extra bittersweet, or<br />

pure unsweetened chocolate—<br />

healthier than milk chocolate. The<br />

higher cocoa percentage, the<br />

higher the health benefits.<br />

Vista Verde Ranch<br />

by WENDY SIPPLE<br />

something, and<br />

somewhere,<br />

different for<br />

this year’s<br />

vacation? Say<br />

bye-bye to<br />

beaches, dayslong<br />

Disneyland<br />

excursions,<br />

and Hawaii for<br />

the hundredth<br />

time, and consider a dude ranch instead.<br />

Nestled in the heart of the Colorado<br />

Rockies, Vista Verde Ranch<br />

(vistaverde.com) is an all-inclusive getaway<br />

that provides the perfect blend of bespoke<br />

adventure, relaxation, and luxury—with a<br />

beautiful backdrop to boot.<br />

Ditch your electronics and enjoy<br />

exploring breathtaking mountain trails<br />

on horseback, hiking through pristine<br />

forests, or discovering the thrill of<br />

whitewater rafting.<br />

After a day of play, unwind in your<br />

cozy, private cabin, featuring rustic<br />

elegance and modern amenities for a<br />

truly indulgent stay. Note the rooms don’t<br />

have TVs—but trust us, you won’t miss<br />

them, especially because each cabin has<br />

its own hot tub—a much-needed amenity<br />

after partaking in the on-site activities.<br />

And did we mention the food?<br />

Savor gourmet meals prepared by<br />

professionally trained chefs while<br />

enjoying friendly company at communal<br />

dining tables.<br />

Getting there is easy—both United<br />

Airlines and Southwest Airlines fly into<br />

Yampa Valley Regional Airport (HDN)<br />

serving Steamboat Springs, and Vista Verde<br />

provides a shuttle to and from the ranch.<br />

With a warm, welcoming staff<br />

dedicated to making your trip<br />

extraordinary, Vista Verde Ranch<br />

promises a once-in-a-lifetime<br />

experience—for families, couples, solo<br />

travelers, and big groups alike—that<br />

Feels Like Home<br />

5 STEPS TO A HOMIER HOUSE<br />

by NELLY KISLYANKA<br />

Pull out your pumpkin spice-scented<br />

candles—autumn is upon us! With shorter<br />

days and cooler temps shooing us indoors<br />

for bake nights with friends and spooky<br />

movie marathons, we’ve turned our attention<br />

to transitioning our homes for fall festivities. If<br />

your living space is only fit for the living dead,<br />

fear not! We’ve rounded up the top tricks for<br />

a homier home.<br />

“Decluttering is the<br />

secret ingredient to a<br />

simpler and more enjoyable<br />

day-to-day life."<br />

1. Put everything in its place<br />

Creating a serene space in which you can relax<br />

begins with organization. Organizing may not be<br />

the most thrilling step in preparing your place for<br />

fall, but it should be the first. “When your home<br />

is clutter-free, and everything has a designated<br />

place, you'll find it much easier to maintain that<br />

cozy atmosphere. Decluttering is the secret<br />

ingredient to a simpler and more enjoyable dayto-day<br />

life,” says Cathy Tonks, founder of Designs<br />

With You in Mind (designswithyouinmind.net).<br />

“Don’t get so caught<br />

up in executing a<br />

picture-perfect<br />

design that your<br />

home feels staged.<br />

Instead, incorporate<br />

mementos of<br />

sentimental value<br />

and cherished<br />

family pieces.”<br />

ACHIEVE THE LOOK: Start with purging!<br />

Tonks recommends dedicating 20<br />

minutes a day to purging and organizing<br />

one section of your home. Breaking up<br />

the mammoth task of decluttering into 20<br />

minutes daily keeps it from overwhelming<br />

you but is still incredibly effective. “Before<br />

you know it, you'll have cleared out<br />

unnecessary belongings and created a<br />

clean canvas for your cozy haven.” Moving<br />

forward, Tonks recommends making a<br />

habit of removing two items for every new<br />

item you bring into your home. “Trust<br />

me—this little practice will go a long way<br />

in preserving the cozy vibe you desire,”<br />

she says.<br />

2. Create a cozy reading nook<br />

“Creating a cozy nook in your living room<br />

provides a comfortable corner where you<br />

can sink into the embrace of an armchair<br />

and indulge in a good book,” says<br />

Christina Lisetsky, designer at Curated<br />

Spaces and Skyline Build & Design<br />

(skylinebuildinc.com). If your house is<br />

fresh out of alcoves to accommodate<br />

a reading nook, create a designated<br />

area within a larger space by carefully<br />

arranging furniture and strategically<br />

placing rugs to maximize the use of<br />

available space.<br />

ACHIEVE THE LOOK: According<br />

to Lisetsky, “the key to successfully<br />

implementing this technique is to<br />

consider the flow of movement within<br />

your home and the natural divisions<br />

that exist.” Decide on the distinct zones<br />

you wish to create with this information<br />

in mind, then define them with rugs.<br />

“Incorporating rugs in each zone not only<br />

adds comfort underfoot but also helps in<br />

visually separating the spaces while tying<br />

the overall design together,” says Lisetsky.<br />

3. Set the mood with lighting<br />

According to Jenny Levitsky, owner<br />

of Ultimate Designs & Kitchen Goods<br />

(ultimatedesignkitchens.com), “The<br />

right lighting is essential to create cozy<br />

environments.” It can even help you<br />

unwind after a busy day.<br />

ACHIEVE THE LOOK: “Use quality<br />

dimmable lighting with floor and table<br />

lamps rather than all ceiling lighting.<br />

Multiple sources let you use different<br />

types throughout the day and can help<br />

illuminate separate areas where you<br />

want to get cozy without lighting up<br />

the whole space,” advises Levitsky. She<br />

also recommends utilizing candles and<br />

your fireplace to cast a soft glow upon<br />

a room.<br />

4. Layer up<br />

Build a cozy ambiance through the<br />

art of layering. “A stark sofa with no<br />

layered pillows is not as inviting as one<br />

with soft textures added,” says Levitsky,<br />

“Having a comfy throw nearby says,<br />

‘come get cozy!’” Be careful to strike the<br />

right balance when layering, though,<br />

cautions Tonks; you don’t want to<br />

overcrowd a space.<br />

ACHIEVE THE LOOK: At the heart<br />

of layering is texture. Decorative<br />

pillows and blankets with diverse<br />

textures not only create visual interest<br />

but evoke comfort through touch.<br />

“When envisioning coziness, one<br />

often imagines snuggling under a soft<br />

blanket with a couple of plush pillows,”<br />

says Lisetsky. Some textures to play<br />

with in your home this fall are boucle,<br />

chunky cable knits, woven plaids,<br />

jacquard, and plush faux mink.<br />

5. Add some love<br />

Love is what makes a house a home.<br />

Don’t get so caught up in executing a<br />

picture-perfect design that your home<br />

feels staged. Instead, incorporate<br />

mementos of sentimental value and<br />

cherished family pieces. “Remember,<br />

creating a cozy home is about more<br />

than just aesthetics. It's about creating<br />

a nurturing environment that makes<br />

you feel truly at ease,” reminds Tonks.<br />

Don’t just do what you see on TV<br />

design shows, advises Levitsky. “Bring<br />

your own personal touches to add<br />

elements of love that make a space feel<br />

warm and cozy.”<br />

ACHIEVE THE LOOK: “Add family<br />

photographs or art from your favorite<br />

travels,” Levitsky recommends. She also<br />

encourages mixing in hand-me-down<br />

furnishings from a favorite relative. As<br />

a bonus, sentimental pieces fill your<br />

home with stories that make great<br />

dinner conversation.<br />

convenient locations—and serves up tacos and margaritas…fast!<br />

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

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

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

please.<br />

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

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

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

I couldn’t have been más feliz.<br />

We perused the menu while nibbling on complimentary chips and salsa.<br />

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

Tasty chips and salsa? An added point on the books for Mexico Lindo.<br />

Chile<br />

Verde<br />

Fries<br />

“<br />

The fries came dressed in a<br />

mountainous, melted blanket of<br />

carnitas-speckled cheese and<br />

real green chiles (a major plus<br />

for this New Mexico native).<br />

We started with the Chile Verde Fries,<br />

which were incredibly tasty. Be forewarned<br />

though; if you’re not an absolute cheese<br />

fanatic (though, who isn’t?), this is not the<br />

appetizer for you. The fries came dressed<br />

in a mountainous, melted blanket of<br />

carnitas-speckled cheese and real<br />

green chiles (another major plus<br />

for this New Mexico native).<br />

While I would’ve loved a little<br />

more chile verde pork mixed<br />

in, I found myself devouring<br />

assuredly more than my half.<br />

Within mere minutes<br />

of ordering, our multi-talented<br />

waitress—who we learned was the<br />

manager, too (someone give this woman<br />

a raise!)—brought out two scalding plates:<br />

Birria Tacos and Beer Battered Fish Tacos.<br />

I’ll be honest; we had just returned<br />

from the Bay Area where we had the most<br />

delicious birria tacos of our lives, so these<br />

were against some fierce competition<br />

and weren’t on the same level. Don’t get<br />

me wrong, they were good, but after the<br />

mega-bowl of cheese I had just consumed,<br />

the cheese in them was just a bit too<br />

much (yes, even for this queso fanatic!).<br />

Just moderate your cheese consumption<br />

before ordering them, and you’ll be OK.<br />

The fish tacos were the clear winner.<br />

The fresh cod wasn’t overcooked, the<br />

jalapeño and cilantro crema spot-on, and<br />

the cilantro-lime rice and black<br />

beans brought the dish a muchneeded<br />

punch of freshness.<br />

Squeeze a little citrus on<br />

them, order another round of<br />

margaritas, and you might just<br />

forget you’re in a suburban strip<br />

mall.<br />

If you’re seeking a nice spot for a<br />

drink and a solid bite of food, Mexico<br />

Lindo delivers. You may feel the cheese<br />

coursing through your veins for a<br />

day or two, but it’ll be worth it.<br />

A warning from the<br />

not-so-wise: Don’t plan on<br />

exercising after eating<br />

here (that probably<br />

should’ve been obvious).<br />

Next time, I’ll end my<br />

cycling adventures here<br />

with time for a siesta after.<br />

AROUND<br />

THE WORLD<br />

IN 5 BAKED<br />

GOODS<br />

— by BELLA NOLEN<br />

Take a quick trip around the<br />

globe, locally, by trying these<br />

five internationally inspired<br />

baked goods.<br />

WHERE TO TRY IT:<br />

Bad Bakers, 1420 East Roseville<br />

Parkway, Suite 180, Roseville, 916-883-<br />

2253; 195 Placerville Road, Folsom,<br />

916-790-8042, badbakers.com<br />

T&5 Café & Bakery<br />

195 Blue Ravine Road, Desserts, fun drinks, and a charming interior? If you’re seeking a spot with all the<br />

Suite 100, Folsom, above, and more, visit Folsom’s T&5 Café & Bakery—an Asian-inspired bakeshop<br />

916-790-8638 that goes beyond just cakes and cookies. Curious where the name comes from?<br />

t5bakerycafe<br />

One of the owner’s last names is Tong, hence the “T,” and his wife and co-owner’s<br />

last name means “5” in Chinese. Besides baked goods, they also serve smoothies, boba tea,<br />

coffee, and tasty dim sum! One thing I love about their drinks is you can choose the sweetness<br />

level, how much ice you want, and any additional toppings (on most drinks). I tried the Fresh<br />

Watermelon Tea with a 75% sweetness level, standard ice, and lychee. My daughter<br />

ordered the Brown Sugar Boba Coconut Milk, which is one drink you can’t adjust<br />

the sugar level on. Made with house-made brown sugar boba, house-made coconut<br />

milk, and topped with boba soaked in caramelized black sugar, it was “the best!”<br />

according to her. The Heavenly Japanese Cheesecake—which had a pleasant,<br />

not too sweet flavor with a fluffy texture—and Green Tea Crepe Cake also caught<br />

my eye and were impossible to pass up. With so many unique menu offerings, you,<br />

too, will be tempted to try them all—trust me!<br />

LIST<br />

THE<br />

A is for<br />

Apples<br />

by PAULINE ARROYO<br />

Some people call October sweater weather, but it’s apple<br />

season around here. Whether you prefer yours plucked<br />

straight from a branch or baked into a yummy treat, now's<br />

the time to sink your teeth into fall’s favorite fruit. We handpicked<br />

a few of the best local dishes with apples as the star<br />

of the show. Let’s dig in!<br />

Apple Amore<br />

Do you know what’s better than pineapple<br />

on pizza? Apples on pizza. Seriously,<br />

if you’re skeptical of the fruit-on-pizza<br />

lifestyle, the Campania Pizza from Il<br />

Pizzaiolo will convert you. This Neapolitanstyle<br />

pie features bacon, red onions, fresh<br />

mozzarella, EVOO, parmesan, and—of<br />

course—apples. All that deliciousness<br />

comes on a thin, bubbly crust made in an<br />

authentic wood-fired oven. Buon appetito!<br />

3640 Taylor Road, Loomis, 916-672-6556,<br />

ilpizzaiololoomis.com<br />

Chop & Chutney<br />

Ready to fancy up your apples? Head to The Independent in Placerville and order the Pork<br />

Chop—a hearty 12-ounce piece of pork from Lan-Roc Farms that’s all things savory and<br />

juicy (thanks to an hours-long molasses brine). But what really puts this dinner entrée over<br />

the top is the accompanying apple and shallot chutney. Put a generous spoonful over your<br />

chop for the perfect punch of spice and sweetness to complement the richness of the pork.<br />

629 Main Street, Placerville 530-344-7645, independentplacerville.com<br />

Oh, Crepe, That’s Good!<br />

Craving crepes and apples? Feed two<br />

birds with one seed by chowing down<br />

on the Caramel Apple Crepe, available<br />

at both Julian’s Patisserie & Café in<br />

Folsom and Pastry Nouveau in Roseville.<br />

Picture it: A delicate, French-style crepe<br />

wrapped around the culinary quartet<br />

that is apples, butter, brown sugar, and<br />

cinnamon. Served with freshly whipped<br />

cream and ooey-gooey caramel sauce,<br />

no matter what time of day you dig in,<br />

you’ll be saying bonjour to deliciousness.<br />

waiting for your pie. The Caramelized<br />

Apple Salad features buttery sweet apple<br />

slices, walnuts, and blue cheese on a<br />

bed of mixed greens drizzled with zingy<br />

raspberry vinaigrette. The sweetness of<br />

the baked fruit plays with the tanginess of<br />

the blue cheese for a can’t-skip starter. 702<br />

An Ap-peel-ing Breakfast<br />

If your idea of a perfect morning meal is<br />

a savory sandwich, then Bloom Coffee &<br />

Tea is where you need to be. Start your<br />

day off with The Dutchman—freshly baked<br />

focaccia piled high with applewood<br />

smoked bacon, smoked turkey, arugula,<br />

green apples, Havarti, and sun-dried<br />

tomato aioli that’s pressed into a warm,<br />

toasty bite of goodness. The apple<br />

gives it just the right amount of crunch<br />

and brightness to complement the<br />

sub’s smoky, salty flavors. 1485 Eureka<br />

An Apple (Salad) a Day Keeps<br />

the Doctor Away<br />

Every apple-themed adventure should<br />

include a delectable seasonal salad from<br />

Pizzeria Classico. But don’t worry, this<br />

isn’t a boring salad you scarf down while<br />

The Apple (Pie) of Our Eye<br />

No countdown of the best apple dishes<br />

would be complete without the all-<br />

American classic: apple pie. Today, we<br />

must give it up to the orchard-to-fork<br />

Dutch Apple Pie from Ikeda’s in Auburn.<br />

Stop by for a slice, and remember to order<br />

it a la mode; cool vanilla ice cream, warm<br />

apples, and buttery crumble are a match<br />

made in dessert heaven! 13500 Lincoln<br />

Way, Auburn, 530-885-4243, ikedas.com<br />

You didn’t think we’d close this list without<br />

mentioning Apple Hill, right? Although<br />

locals know there are hundreds of tasty<br />

treats to enjoy at the aptly named mecca<br />

U-PICK APPLE<br />

ORCHARDS<br />

It doesn’t get any fresher, or more fun,<br />

should we say the Sundae? Forget any<br />

other ice cream sundae you’ve had and<br />

save room for a heaping bowl of vanilla<br />

ice cream that comes inclusive of a<br />

freshly baked apple cider donut, peanuts,<br />

whipped cream, and homemade caramel<br />

sauce. The best part? You get to enjoy the<br />

decadent dish while soaking in the scenic<br />

orchard views. 1800 Larsen Drive, Camino,<br />

A Toast to French Toast<br />

Who said you can't have dessert for breakfast? If you're looking for something sweet to start<br />

your day, CrepeTown Café has just the thing for you. Their Apple-Stuffed French Toast<br />

features a generous serving of apple chunks bathed in buttery, cinnamon-spice goodness<br />

and baked to the ooey-gooey perfection of an apple pie. Then, they sandwich the filling<br />

between two thick-cut slices of battered brioche toast. Of course, French toast wouldn't be<br />

French toast without a snowfall of powdered sugar, autumnal syrup, and whipped cream.<br />

4064 Mother Lode Drive, Shingle Springs, 530- 677-5993, crepetowncafe.com<br />

The Strudel is Real<br />

During October, beer and brats steal the<br />

spotlight during Oktoberfest celebrations,<br />

but if you ask us, we want to say, “prost!”<br />

to a slice of Apple Strudel from Bakerie &<br />

Latte Chateau Arme. If you’ve never had<br />

apple strudel before, prepare yourself for<br />

an authentic Austrian delicacy made of tart<br />

Granny Smith apples bathed in cinnamon<br />

and sugar that are then baked in a thin,<br />

flaky crust. Order it for breakfast, lunch, or<br />

just because! 2222 Francisco Drive, Suite 500,<br />

El Dorado Hills, 916-939-0834<br />

Let’s Get Apple Sauced<br />

Summers are for seltzers, but fall is cider’s time to shine. If you’re looking for a boozy<br />

way to consume your daily dose of apples, sip a Cider Flight at Ponderosa Cider Co.<br />

in Auburn. They have a wide selection featuring fruity and funky mixes that are sure<br />

to quench anyone’s thirst. Feeling something sweet? Try the Imperial Strawberry for<br />

a co-fermented blend of apples and strawberries that tastes fresh off the farm. Want<br />

something classic? The Duchess is a dry, lightly spiced cider that's 100% apples and 100%<br />

delicious. Cheers! 102 Gum Lane, Unit B, Auburn, 530-401-0128, ponderosacider.com<br />

Congrats to this month’s<br />

nonprofit beneficiary:<br />

UPPER ROOM<br />

DINING HALL<br />

9/14/<strong>2023</strong><br />

Upper Room Dining Hall<br />

One thousand and 00/100<br />

<strong>STYLE</strong> Magazine<br />

Based in Placerville, Upper Room<br />

Dining Hall’s mission is to<br />

provide food and other services<br />

to community members living under the<br />

strain of poverty with<br />

dignity and compassion.<br />

Although food banks<br />

and pantries exist across<br />

the region, there are many<br />

people who don’t have the<br />

means or ability to turn<br />

a bag of groceries into a<br />

nutritious meal. Upper<br />

Room is the only nonprofit<br />

in El Dorado County that<br />

offers hot meals—lovingly prepared by a<br />

team of volunteers—365 days a year.<br />

The dinners often serve as an entry<br />

point for guests who take advantage of<br />

the organization’s other resources that<br />

are available both on-site and through<br />

community partnerships, including<br />

personal hygiene, navigation and outreach<br />

1,000.00<br />

Terry Carroll, publisher and CEO at <strong>STYLE</strong> Magazine; Dr. Shawn McDonald;<br />

Karen Stinson, operations director at Upper Room Dining Hall; and Emiley Mohr,<br />

account manager at <strong>STYLE</strong> Magazine.<br />

“<br />

“It's the support of our loyal<br />

advertising partners, like Dr.<br />

Shawn McDonald, that allow<br />

us the opportunity to give<br />

back to the communities we<br />

serve.”<br />

—Terry Carroll & Wendy Sipple<br />

services, pet vaccination clinics, legal<br />

assistance, wound care, and more.<br />

Thanks to the nonprofit’s amazing<br />

volunteers, donors, and strong<br />

community partnerships,<br />

they’ve earned the tagline:<br />

“Upper Room Dining Hall<br />

is so much more than just<br />

a meal!”<br />

“We’re thankful to<br />

live in such a generous<br />

community, as we<br />

continue to expand our<br />

services—including the<br />

addition of a mobile<br />

food truck—to reach more of the<br />

underserved in our county,” says<br />

Operations Director Karen Stinson.<br />

For more information, including ways<br />

you can donate or volunteer, visit<br />

upperroomdininghall.org.<br />

In honor of our<br />

20th year in business,<br />

we're donating $1,000<br />

each month (through January<br />

2024) to local charitable<br />

organizations and need YOU, our<br />

readers, to help us designate<br />

the recipients. To nominate<br />

choice, visit stylemg.<br />
