Hello tampa! Spring has definitely arrived, replacing sweaters with tank-tops and boots with sandals. The first day of April was spent pranking co-workers, family members, and friends as April Fools’ Day left its mark. Easter Sunday landed on the 5th and consisted of sunrise services, hunting for eggs, and snapping photos with the celebrity of the day, the Easter Bunny. At the end of the month Earth Day celebrated its 45th anniversary on the 22nd initiating Ecofest, an event held at the Lowry Park Bandshell on the 18th dedicated to celebrating sustainability. In case you missed other exciting events Tampa was host to, read a recap below!

Beginning April 4th, Busch Garden’s Food and Wine Festival attracted a plethora of foodies through the 26th. The inaugural event provided diverse flavors of wine, craft beer, and food menus. Starting at noon

each Saturday and Sunday, the festival also hosted concerts from KC and The Sunshine Band, Josh Turner, Austin Mahone, Daughtry, and more. If music isn’t quite your cup of tea - or glass of wine - the Conservation Cabin was open to meet Busch Gardens’ animal ambassadors, which included a variety of snake species. In addition, thrilling dance and music shows were performed at the Marrakesh Theater as well as festival games throughout the park.

The musical talents of the Florida Orchestra performed Scheherazade on the 17th. A full audience attended Ferguson Hall at The David A. Straz Center for the Performing Arts to admire Jennifer Higdon’s blue cathedral, Bartók’s Piano Concerto No. 3, and Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade Op. 3. Pieces were described as lively, mystical, and memorial masterpieces. A beautiful violin was a recurring aesthetic

of guest conductor Mei-Ann Chen’s orchestral tale of a thousand and one nights.

Tampa Bay transformed into Margaritaville on the 18th with laid-back beach vibes just in time for summer. Jimmy Buffett performed all of his hits at the MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre in front of thousands of fans. The scene was set with leis, floral short sleeve button downs, pastel shorts, and beach balls being tossed around

the crowd; that’s how pumped up Parrotheads party! Jimmy is joined by the Coral Reefer Band on the “Workin’ n’ Playin’” tour. Cheers to wishing it was always five o’clock somewhere and we had a cheeseburger in paradise.

A nostalgic state of mind overcame Paramore’s fans as lead singer Hayley Williams performed familiar, earlier songs such as “Misery Business” and “That’s What You Get” on the 28th. A youthful spirit gleamed bright on the second tour stop of “Paramore: Writing the Future” at Ruth Eckerd Hall, an intimate sold-out venue. Attendees also heard music off their Grammy-nominated most recent self-titled fourth studio album. Paramore was accompanied by Copeland who coincidentally helped Paramore get a jump start when they took them on tour a decade ago.

Find out what the beloved actor had to say about his award-winning vodka, Crystal head!

up close & personal wiTh

Dan Aykroyd

oUT & ABoUT

it’s 10:00 pm on a gorgeous Tuesday evening and I’ve just stepped onto the private patio of one of Orlando’s most exquisite dining establishments, Vines Grille and Wine Bar. The only sounds filling the air are the hum of conversation and light background music that came in the form of a live jazz band playing inside the venue. Standing around an elongated dining table are a dozen men in black, sharp suits. At the center of the table is a Crystal Head Vodka Skull beautifully lit with a single LED light. As I scanned the room my eyes finally fell on him at the same time he let out his signature, unmistakable laugh. There in the corner, looking like he’s hardly aged a day, was Dan Aykroyd. As the camera-man and I set up for our interview, a gentlemen with the group comes over and says he’d like to introduce me to Dan. For several minutes Dan and I chat as the polite, stereotypically friendly Canadian joked about the awful weather back home while asking questions about my own recent trip to Canada as well as what I did for a living and where I was from. With kind, attentive eyes and the friendliest smile, you have no choice but to feel at ease when talking to Dan. Finally the cameras were rolling and it was time to sit down and interview one of Hollywood’s most brilliant actor, comedian and screenwriters.

I know I speak for many of us when I say that I’ve been so fortunate to have grown up with the opportunity to watch Dan Aykroyd in so many of my favorite films. From My Girl and Coneheads to The Blues Brothers and Ghostbusters, for over 40 years Dan Aykroyd has been entertaining us on the big screen and he has established a renowned name for himself in the acting industry to prove it. Now the busy entrepreneur is out to change the face of the vodka industry as well.

rP: Let’s talk about your multi-award winning vodka, Crystal Head. How did you set about creating one of the world’s purest vodkas?

DA: We just looked at the category and started to do research into what many lesser expensive brands have put into their vodka. We found out that a lot of additives are used.

Throughout my career I’ve always tried to do things a little better. Whether it’s directors, movies or television, I collaborate with the best people to do something better and I thought I could do something better in the vodka arena. We stripped out all the usual substances that are added and we came up with this idea to do a pure spirit. You can step up to a much cleaner, better beverage if you want to pay our premium price and we are a super premium category.

rP: Let’s talk about the design process. This skull is so one-of-a-kind and unique. What went into designing it?

DA: John Alexander—his work is owned by the Corcoran, the Smithsonian and the Museum of Fine Art in Houston—he is an old friend of mine and we were playing around with ideas for the bottle. He basically sketched this up in about two minutes on a napkin and I looked at it and I said this looks like the Mitchell Hedges skull which was referenced in the Indiana Jones movie. It’s the most beautiful of the 13 heads. There’s eight of them in the possession of mankind and five are missing. We replicated the Mitchell Hedges skull because it’s the most beautiful of all of them. It sells our idea of purity and clean drinking better than anything we could think of.

rP: You have won so many awards everything from Best Vodka to Best Luxury Spirit, you’re the official vodka of The

Rolling Stones, the list just goes on and on. How does it feel to have been so well received by the community?

DA: To get that medal in Moscow was vindication of what we’ve been doing and then our tasting notes are great. We won the World Spirits Competition in 2011 and our notes were sweet, vanilla, dry and crisp with a kick of heat off the finish. As a vodka maker I go, “Yep!” Sweet vanilla with peaches and cream corn that we use, dry and crisp with no

oils and then we don’t mask the alcohol so you get that little bit of fire on the tongue if you’re drinking it pure. It makes great cocktails. Bar chefs are into making better, cleaner products now so we offer the bar chefs and mixologists a zero additive, clean slate, blank virgin canvas with which to make cocktails.

Once upon a time there lived a lovely princess. After meeting her Prince Charming, the princess prepared for what was to be the most magical day of her life. Each day the

princess consulted her magic mirror, “Magic Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest bride of all?”

To which the Magic Mirror responded, “With lips of scarlett and corn silk hair, your beauty is known throughout the land.”

Chapter One

But there was a very jealous queen who devised a plan to rid her kingdom of the princess who

threatened to take her crown. She conjured up a spell and enchanted a simple red apple. Enticing the princess to take a bite, the queen, disguised as an old

woman, watched as the princess ate of the fruit and fell in to a deep and deadly sleep. And there the princess slept, day after day and night after night, unknowingly waiting for her prince to awaken her with “True Love’s First Kiss.”

After much time had passed, the princess opened her eyes to see the man she had waited so long for leaning over her. It was then that she realized she had been asleep for some time.

And so, donned in a dress as white as snow, walking in gentle grace and humility, the fair princess met her prince for true love’s kiss. And walking hand in hand, they began their happily ever after.

The End

hEAlTh & BEAUTy

no blushing bride should have to worry about sucking in her tummy or hiding her muffin top on her wedding day. We know that with all the additional stress surrounding your big day, it’s difficult to make working out a top priority. Traditional sit-ups and crunches can get tedious, we get it. But the core is the centerpiece for any toned physique. Even though you’ll be turning heads in your gorgeous gown, why not kick it up a notch and blow your groom and guests away with a hard-earned, eye-catching midsection? We put together this mini bridal workout to melt your middle and help get you the tight core of your dreams just in time to walk down the aisle!

1. Bicycle Marathon

Lie on your back with your hands behind your head. Clasp your hands together with your elbows turned out. Bring your legs up to tabletop position and keep your lower abs tucked in. Exhale and curl the tops of your shoulder blades off the floor. Rotate your head and chest toward your left knee as you stretch your right leg out at a 45 degree angle. Hold and do tiny pulses toward your left knee. Keep your hips and legs steady and pulse 10 times. Continue to repeat on both sides, each time decreasing the number of pulses by one.

Sit with your legs extended and your feet turned out in a V position with your toes pointed. Contract your core muscles and roll your spine into a curve that looks like a C. Lift your arms and move them like you were climbing a rope. Twist slightly each time you reach. Do 20 reaches per arm.

3. Standing Knee tucK

Stand with your feet together. Lift your left leg straight back, hinging forward at hips, reaching your hands forward by the ears. Keep your hips level and your body straight from hands to heel. Using your abs, draw your left knee into your chest and bend your elbows to pull your arms down to your knee. Return to the previous position and repeat the exercise, lifting your right leg straight back this time. Do each leg five times. If you need to simplify the exercise, hold onto a chair with one hand.

4. Side Balance crunch

Begin with your left knee and left hand on the floor, with your right arm straight up. Extend your right leg so your body forms a straight line. Pull your right knee toward your torso and your right elbow toward your knee. Straighten your arm and leg. Repeat ten times, then switch sides.

5. pilateS

For a fun workout that caters to your core, attend a pilates class with your bridesmaids. Pilates is a great way to tone because it targets the deepest muscles of the core that pull in the stomach and narrow the waist. Not only does Pilates help you sculpt your stomach, it also acts as a great stress reliever. The workout allows you to leave the troubles of the day behind, as you use the class to focus on yourself and your breathing.

As always, check with your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.

right now it seems that every health fanatic has a green drink in their hand! Juicing and blending seems to be a trend that is all the rage right now with health enthusiasts today! Probably because of the numerous health benefits and the amazing feeling the mind and body receive once you have begun the process of eating clean. Who doesn’t want to have healthier skin, a healthier body, and a better digestive tract? In order to choose which is best for you, let’s take a closer look at the true benefits of juicing and blending for better health:

Many people do not know that 95% of the vitamins and enzymes our body needs are found in the juice of raw fruit and vegetables. Many may ask, what is the difference between juicing and blending? Juicing is a process which extracts water and nutrients

from produce and discards the indigestible fiber. Meaning, juicers literally separate the liquid matter from the solid. While on the other hand, blending unlike juices, consists of the entire fruit and/ or vegetable including the skin of the produce which contains the fiber and pulp. Blenders simply breaks apart the entire produce material or ingredients. Blending fruits and vegetables requires a lesser amount of solid food and these smoothie drinks usually give the body a satisfied and full feeling as a meal due to the high fiber content.

Juice drinks can be consumed before a meal or as a snack, because they are not as filling. This also provides the body with faster benefits and gives the nutrients time to

tHe BeNeFItS OF JUiCing & BlEnDing Juice and Blend your way to a healthier and happier you

By Christina Nicholson

enter the bloodstream more immediately. In comparison to solid foods, we would have to eat nearly two pounds of carrots, ten apples, and eight pounds of spinach to have the same nutrients in a sixteen ounce juice drink. While drinking a highly concentrated vitamin and enzyme drink rather than eating the pounds of solid food, the digestive organs are able to have a break and rest. The best time to drink juice is early in the morning on an empty stomach. This will help the body absorb more nutrients before a solid meal. Once juice meets the air it will begin the oxidizing phase which will not be as nutritional in value as a fresh juice drink. (If you do choose to store your juice in the refrigerator, make sure the jar or container is tightly sealed so air does not enter the container.)

Blended smoothies main benefit guarantees high fiber and the satisfaction of feeling full longer. Another major benefit to blending is the time and money saver. The concoction of a blended smoothie takes a significantly less amount of time, simply place the produce in the blender, drink, and a meal is consumed in minutes. Also, you will be consuming the entire produce and not throwing majority to waste. The blending option is great for the busy morning person that needs to have a nutritional breakfast before rushing out the door! Smoothies are also whole foods. Proper nutrients in these whole foods are beneficial as eating a whole meal, it’s just faster, and in addition the high fiber content in smoothies absorbs sugar in a healthy level. If you are a fitness guru, blended smoothies will be better for you before a long run or an intense lifting session at the gym. In addition to fruits and vegetables, protein powder, peanut butter, and other protein boosting ingredient may be added to a smoothie drink for additional nutrients and muscle aiding deliciousness!

All in all, there is no scientific evidence that extracted juices are better for you than eating the fruit or vegetable itself. The main benefit however, we can combine fruits and vegetables in one drink that we would not normally eat together in a meal and get that extra dose of vitamins naturally.

Whether you choose to juice to a healthier you, or blend smoothies for a meal, or do both -- you are still nourishing your body with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants for short term and long term health benefits.

As always, check with your doctor before starting a new diet regimen.

rolls-royce Motor Cars has brought Serenity to this year’s Geneva International Motor Show, unveiling the new standard in authentic, bespoke luxury motoring to the world’s media.

Showcasing the tireless efforts of the Bespoke designers and craftspeople at the Home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood to “Take the best that exists and make it better,” Serenity introduces a completely new level of individualised luxury applied to a Rolls-Royce Phantom – already considered by owners and admirers alike to be “the Best Car in the World.”

Sir Henry Royce’s maxim, “When it does not exist, design it,” inspired the latest generation of Rolls-Royce’s Bespoke designers to ask what wholly new approach to luxury would delight the most demanding and exacting people in the world – Rolls-Royce customers. Their answer came from Rolls-Royce’s deep understanding of the most precious, beautiful and natural materials.

Silk would prove to be the route to a new definition of luxury, one that guarantees every customer a canvas for completely unique design, every time.

The marque’s Bespoke Design team took inspiration from the opulent interiors of Rolls-Royces that have conveyed Kings and Queens, Emperors and Empresses and world leaders. Add to this, contemporary interpretations of furniture design combined with Japanese Royal robe motifs and Rolls-Royce designers have delivered a truly innovative, thoroughly modern and tranquil Rolls-Royce interior.

Delivering authentic modern luxury, Serenity reintroduces the finest of textiles – silk – to create the most opulent interior of any luxury car. This unique design demonstrates the levels of craftsmanship, creativity and attention to detail only Rolls-Royce Motor Cars can offer.

More than ever, Bespoke is Rolls-Royce.

“Having revisited the history of the amazing interiors of the elite Rolls-Royce’s of the early 1900’s, we felt inspired to share this heritage with our new customers in a very contemporary way,” comments Giles Taylor, Director of Design at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.

The choice of Phantom for this project was obvious, but creating the motif that would define this most opulent and modern of automotive interiors would require considerable new expertise.

Cherica Haye and Michelle Lusby, both Textile Arts graduates from the Royal College of Art and Plymouth University respectively, joined Rolls-Royce’s Bespoke Design department to help realise the direction of the core motif for this magnificent one-off Phantom.

“Some of the most opulent silk motifs come to us from the Orient, where imperial families’ and rich merchants’ robes were made from the finest silk materials,” comments Lusby.

The ultimate example of the most opulent robe design became the junihitoe, a highly complex handmade ‘twelve-layer robe’ of silk worn only by female Japanese courtiers. The

colours and the arrangements of the layers were very important, with the colours given poetic names such as ‘crimson plum of the spring’.

In addition, during the Japanese Edo period (1615-1868), the merchant and artisan classes commissioned beautiful clothes to demonstrate their wealth and good taste. Clothing developed into a highly expressive means of personal display, an important indicator of rising affluence and aesthetic sensibility.

A new aesthetic known as iki, or elegant chic, meant anyone with real taste focussed on subtle details, whilst those with style and money found ways to circumvent rules that forbade the use of certain colours, such as red, by applying them to undergarments and linings.

“The rear compartment of a Phantom is the most tranquil, beautiful place to be, a place where time and the outside world simply slip past,” says Haye. “This tranquillity made us think of the Oriental tradition where Emperors would take to their private gardens to reflect in solitude under the blossom trees. The blossom motif is one that is cherished in Far Eastern culture and has been beautifully applied to Royal robe design over the centuries. We felt it was the perfect representation of tranquillity and serenity for a beautiful modern interior from Rolls-Royce.”

packed with superpowers, guavas are gaining more attention in the medical world. Guava (Psidium Guajava L.) is a tropical tree indigenous to Central and South America, but has become naturalized in Florida. Here you’ll find two types of guava fruit: The pink pulp and the white pulp variety. Rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, and antioxidants, a guava a day may keep wrinkles away. Moreover, studies show adding guavas to your diet may regulate blood pressure. And that’s not all! From managing and preventing diabetes to aiding fertility in women, guava may prove to be the ultimate superfood.

“Does this mean I can eat as many pastelitos de guayaba as I want?” No. Although this delish Cuban pastry can satisfy a sweet tooth, one serving packs 260 calories and 18 grams of fat. In order to benefit from the power of guava, you’ll want to eat it raw. Next time you reach for a banana or an orange, why not grab a guava instead? One fruit (55 grams) contains 37 calories, 1 gram of fat, and 1 gram of protein. Plus, one guava provides more potassium than a banana and has more vitamin C than an orange. This makes guava a great addition to your next salad.

According to the Medicinal & Aromatic Plants journal, guava leaves, pulp and seed have been used to treat various ailments, especially respiratory and gastrointestinal disorders. In a 2012 study published in Journal of Diabetes Mellitus, researchers

found that guava could play a role in the management of diabetes and in the prevention of vascular complications. Studies have also shown that a higher intake of potassium-rich foods helps keep your muscles in check. These foods defend against

the loss of muscle mass and help burn fat. In one cup of guava (165 grams), you’ll find 688 milligrams of potassium, or 20% daily value. High in fiber (8 grams per fruit), guavas keep you full longer. By including this tropical fruit in a high-fiber diet, it may help you reach your weight-loss goals. A recent study published in Annals of Internal Medicine suggests that eating 30 grams of fiber daily can help trim your waistline, lower blood pressure, and improve your body’s response to insulin. Also, guavas are cholesterol free.

Foods rich in vitamin C help in collagen production and protect the skin from free radical damage. One guava contains 126 milligrams of vitamin C, or 209% daily value. The guava leaf, however, has more potent free radical scavenging properties. In a study published in the Food Chemistry journal, researchers found a “linear relationship between antioxidant potency, free radical-scavenging ability and the content of phenolic compounds of guava leaf extracts.” No wonder guava leaf tea and the topical use of guava leaves have been part of traditional medicine.

For women trying to boost their fertility levels, they may want to add guava to their diet. The tropical fruit contains 27 micrograms of the fertility-boosting vitamin. Studies show a diet that includes folate-rich foods not only aids fertility, but it also safeguards the health of the unborn baby.

You’ll find plenty of more reasons to love this super food. As with many healthful foods, however, consuming too many guavas could prove hurtful to your health. Guavas do contain fructose, which can be harmful in excess amounts. And, as always, you should discuss with your physician and/or dietician if adding guava to your diet would prove beneficial for your specific health goals.

among the top 10 Common Dental problems, bad breath was rated #1. Here are the 10 most common dental problems; 1.Bad Breath, 2. Tooth Decay, 3. Gum Disease, 4. Oral Cancer, 5. Mouth Sores, 6.Tooth Erosion, 7. Tooth Sensitivity, 8. Toothaches, 9. Dental Emergencies,10. Unattractive Smile.

Today I’m going to discuss bad breath; also called halitosis which can be downright embarrassing. According to dental studies, about 85% of people with constant bad breath have a dental condition that is the blame. Gum disease, cavities, oral cancer, dry mouth, and bacteria on the tongue all can cause bad breath. Also; medical conditions can cause bad breath. Ketoacidosis occurs in diabetics when there is insufficient glucose in the blood for the body to use as energy. An obvious sign of this is a fruity-smelling odor in the breath. People with eating

disorders may experience bad breath, as well as frequent dieters. Breath will have a fishy smell or smell of urine or ammonia in people with chronic kidney failure. Sinusitis, which is very prevalent here in Florida, can cause bad breath. So you can see there are various conditions that can contribute to bad breath. Using mouthwash to cover up bad breath only masks the odor and does not cure the problem. So how do I know I have bad breath? Here’s a simple technique; lick the back of your hand, let it dry and smell that.

The following guidelines will help you eliminate or reduce your bad breath :

1. Brush your teeth and floss everyday; especially after meals that may contain food or spices that contribute to bad breath. Brushing your tongue will help in getting rid of bacteria that can get trapped in the tiny hair-like fibers on the tongue.

2. Visit your dentist on a regular basis to insure there are no cavities or underlying gum disease.

3. An easy way to prevent bad breath is to chew parsley after a meal. Parsley contains chlorophyll, which happens to be a known breath freshener.

4. One can place a few drops of tee tree oil or peppermint oil on your tongue or a few drops on your toothbrush along with the toothpaste to freshened your breath.

5. Avoid foods that cause bad breath; garlic, onions, cabbage, certain spices, and coffee.

6. Smoking causes bad breath also so quitting has much more beneficial effects than having better smelling breath.

7. Xerostomia or dry mouth is a major factor when it comes to bad breath. Sip water throughout the day and during meals. Chew sugar- free gum or dissolve sugar-free candy slowly in your mouth to increase saliva flow.

8. Avoid traditional mouthwashes. Most are loaded with alcohol which can cause dry mouth. These mouthwashes also create an environment that bacteria love.

9. Occasionally use a mixture of 50% hydrogen peroxide and 50% water as a mouth rinse. Hydrogen peroxide will help kill the bacteria that cause bad breath.

10. Finally the use of commercially marketed breath freshening kits and bad breath remedies may help prevent bad breath however there is insufficient research that has shown a cure for bad breath. Always ask your dentist or pharmacist before you invest in these products.

I hope these simple suggestions will help you insure that your breath is pleasing and if not that it makes you aware that there could be an underlying problem. Remember not having pain does not mean there is no disease or pathology. If in doubt see your dental team. My best patient is the one I educate.

Yours for better dentistry and health,Carl D. Bilancione D.M.D.

From scrubbing hotel floorsin Australia to walking the Grammy Red Carpet, hip-hop beauty Iggy Azalea has personified the age-old truth that hard work pays off.

Born to an Australian family as Amethyst Amelia Kelly, Azalea was always captivated by an understanding that her life awaited beyond the boundaries of her small hometown. The place she called home was a house that her father built by hand, yet the fact that her lifestyle was founded upon hard work and a determined spirit only motivated Azalea all the more. As an artist and painter, Azalea’s father cultivated within his daughter an appreciation for the arts, encouraging her to study painting and music as a teenager. Azalea’s love for art flourished into a passion for rap music, and she began rapping at age 14, forming a female hip-hop group with girls from her neighborhood. Unlike most of the girls in her circle of friends, Azalea took her passions seriously, and decided to set her sights on bigger opportunities for success. Knowing her chances were far better in the United States, Azalea dropped out of high school and made the distant move at the age of 16. With money saved from cleaning hotel rooms, she began a life on her own in Miami. However, the young artist soon learned that the American dream did not come free; Azalea worked her way into the Miami music scene with little money in her pocket and fuel from her spirit. These experiences in Miami serve as the background for Azalea’s song, “Work,” which is perhaps the best word to define Azalea’s life. Her teenage years were spent trying to make an impossible future out of an invisible past; the line “No money, no family/ 16 in the middle of Miami,” is a bleak yet honest truth of Azalea’s presence at the time. In her

eyes, working was the only to the top, and Azalea assured herself that she could make a name for herself in America’s music world based on her work alone. After traveling from city to city, Azalea was approached by an employee of Interscope Records and, taking his advice, decided to move to Los Angeles in 2010. She released her first full-length project, Ignorant Art, a year later, but it was not given the critical or public acclaim that Azalea felt her work deserved. In December of the same year, she revealed that her first debut studio album

would be released once she found the right major record label to produce her music. But this decision-making process did not slow Azalea down from keeping herself in the running for one of the world’s favorite new artists. While beginning the writing and production for her debut album, Azalea became the opening act for pop singer Rita Ora’s United Kingdom tour, continuing to gain fans from all over the world. Released on April 21, 2014 by Island Records in the United States, Azalea’s debut album, The New Classic, broke ground as one of the most anticipated albums of the

year. With this album, Azalea proved herself to be not only a hardworking talent, but also one of the most relevant pop icons of the present. The New Classic produced five singles, including the lead single, “Work,” which charted at number 17 in the UK music charts and eventually climbed its way up in Australia as well as the United States. Azalea also released the songs “Bounce” and “Change Your Life” from the album, but no song made a splash quite like her fourth hit. The fourth single, “Fancy,” became an instant international success, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Featuring singer Charli XCX, “Fancy” became the first number one for Azalea, remaining at the top for seven consecutive weeks. With seven million copies digitally sold, it has become one of the best-selling singles of all time. With success from singles like “Fancy,” the 24-year-old rapper has learned that hard work can truly transform a life—even the life of a poor Australian girl with dreams bigger than her horizons. But Azalea has never forgotten the past that gave her the strength to work her way to the present; she even took her stage name from her life back in Australia. Her childhood dog, named Iggy, and the street of her family home, Azalea Street, will forever be remembered in the namesake of Iggy Azalea. There is even more music to come from this international icon, and, this summer, be sure to hear her latest single, “Pretty Girls,” a highly-anticipated duet with Britney Spears set to release this month. Azalea may be sharing the music world with the female pop stars of our day, yet not many others can feel the accomplishment of success quite like Azalea. She has worked for it.

“Azalea has never forgotten the past that gave

her the strength to work her way to the present”

Gorgeous Female Celebs

ovEr 50these women are out to prove that age ain’t nothing but a number!

By Rieasa Pascal

aging is something we are all going to do, although some of us better than others. No one seems to understand this more than some of Hollywood’s biggest stars who simply can’t afford to get walked over by the march of time. Two months ago we showed you some of the hottest male celebs over 50, but as much as I enjoy drooling over John Stamos and Lenny Kravitz, it’d be a crime not to show my gracefully aging ladies some love! From good genes to good docs, these gorgeous women over 50 are kicking time in the face and proving that drinking from the fountain of youth isn’t just reserved for Hollywood’s leading men.

Sandra Bullock, 50At the top of the countdown is America’s sweetheart, Sandra Bullock. It’s unbelievable to think Bullock is turning 51 this year when the brunette beauty could easily still pass for 30s. In the 2013 film Gravity, Bullock proved she had a body to rival someone half her age as she floated around in a pair of shorts and a tank top. At 50 years old, the Miss Congeniality actress simply looks amazing, but that appearance doesn’t come without some hard work! Six days a week Bullock works out with trainer Simone De La Rue. For an hour, she does a combination of dance, strength-training, yoga and Pilates. In addition to keeping that body looking fabulous, she also credits the use of anti-aging cream to keep her face young and fresh. She’s been entertaining us for over 25 years already, but with looks like that, I’m sure they’ll be many more years of Bullock entertainment to look forward to.

Sela Ward, 58According to actress Sela Ward, “There isn’t one person out there that’s over 50 -- or 47, for that matter -- who looks fabulous that hasn’t had some help, whatever it is.” By her own admission, Ward has confessed to the use of botox and many experts believe that other plastic surgery procedures might also be under her belt. Whatever is responsible for Ward’s youthful appearance, all I have to say to her is keep doing what you’re doing girl because you look fab-u-lous! Despite the fact that the actress is almost 60 years old, Ward looks like she hasn’t aged a day. Her forehead is wrinkle-free while her facial skin looks smooth, toned and virtually flawless. Even deeper than her outward beauty is the inner beauty of Wards compassionate heart. In 2002, she opened an emergency shelter for children needing placement in foster homes in her beloved hometown of Meridian, Mississippi. From NBC’s long-running Sisters to CSI: NY, we hope Ward continues to bring her timeless beauty and incredible acting skills to our TV screens this year and in future years to come.

Iman, 59This July, Iman Mohamed Abdulmajid, professionally known as Iman, turns 60 years old. With her flawless, youthful appearance, the stunning Somalian beauty doesn’t look like she has spent even close to half a century on this planet, but this fashion icon is much more than just a pretty face. Iman is also noted for her charitable work and is a spokesperson for the Keep a Child Alive program, which provides much-needed medication to families and children in the developing world. Yves Saint Laurent’s muse and “dream woman” is also credited with helping to revolutionize the beauty industry for women of color. In the 1970s, she was one of the first African-born women to conquer the modeling industry. A pioneer in the field of ethnic cosmetics, Iman is also the CEO of IMAN Cosmetics, Skincare, and Fragrances, a line geared toward women of color. David Bowie’s gorgeous wife says, “Feeling beautiful isn’t about a trend or a particular look. It’s about treating yourself fabulously. No matter your age or your skin tone, you’ve got to love the skin you’re in.” Easy to say when your skin is that radiant, Iman!

Christie Brinkley, 61With her thick blond locks, killer body and glowing skin, it’s tough to believe Christie Brinkley is 61 years old. Brinkley became a household name when she landed the cover of Sports Illustrated’s famed Swimsuit Issue for three consecutive years from 1979-1981. She was one of the industry’s original supermodels and decades later she is still just as gorgeous as ever. The stunning model, actress and mother doesn’t just look good for her age, she looks good for any age! Brinkley works hard to maintain her good looks by modeling her routine after that of her own mother whom she refers to as the “original health nut.” Christie’s latest venture was the development of her own skincare line, Christie Brinkley Authentic Skincare. The line offers efficient products that work to recapture your skin’s youthful appearance. I’ve always been a little skeptical when it comes to age-defying creams, but anyone who looks that amazing at 61 can sell me whatever they want!

Meryl Streep, 65A Hollywood icon for more than 40 years, the multiple-Oscar-winning Meryl Streep has hardly aged at all. Despite being in her mid 60s, the ravishing star has continued to play a leading lady in numerous romantic flicks and refuses to accept that there are no good roles for women over 40. In 2009, Streep starred as both Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin’s love interest in It’s Complicated. Then, at 62, Streep also appeared for the first time on the cover of Vogue and declared herself the oldest person to do so. In 2012’s Hope Springs, Streep plays a 60ish woman hoping to spice things up in her marriage to Tommy Lee Jones. So what’s her secret and how does this 65 year old keep up that youthful, gorgeous physique? Streep says she swims three or four times a week, logging up to 55 laps at a time. As for her lovely skin, Streep credits that to her dislike of the sun and opposition to plastic surgery. Perhaps her best weapon in the battle against time, however, is her positive attitude on aging and her belief that we need to embrace getting older. At the end of the day, understanding and accepting this is Meryl’s true secret to aging gracefully.

The island of Eleuthera belongs to the Bahamas, and is located 50 miles east of Nassau. It is long and thin – at 110 miles long and in places, a little more than 1 mile wide. With a population of about 8,000 people, Eleuthera is quiet, private, and untouched in its natural Caribbean state. When I first landed at the Lynden Pindling International Airport, Nassau’s largest airport, I wasn’t sure what to expect when boarding my Southern Air flight to the tiny Eleuthera landing strip. During the short flight, I knew I was in for an extraordinary experience as I looked down to the majestic island surrounded by aquamarine Caribbean water. The Eleuthera airport is no bigger than a standard single family home, but consists of a staff willing and able to assist from the moment I stepped off the plane.

The most important aspect of traveling to an island for a peaceful and private getaway is choosing the perfect lodging accommodations. Since Eleuthera is still widely unheard of to the general population, there aren’t many hotels, and there probably never will be to

keep its private island feel. However, there are several condominiums and vacation homes available to rent by the week. Pulling up to my condominium felt like a dream come true – my own private home in paradise. Located on Queen’s Highway in Governor’s Harbour, The Buttonwood Reserve consists of eight condominiums built atop a 45-foot ridge. Its elevated stage makes for incredible views out over both the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. The spacious condominiums at Buttonwood Reserve offer 1,200 square feet of interior living space, 400 square feet of ocean-view decks and a golf cart garage. The master bedrooms feature magnificent panoramic views of the Caribbean, king-sized bed, and are equipped with an en-suite full bath. Master bedrooms also have a private door leading to the deck with stunning views, perfect for honeymooners or couples seeking a romantic getaway.

The best part about staying at The Buttonwood Reserve is that I felt like royalty - I never wanted to leave my condo. However, there’s a lot of the island to discover and

i’m staring out the window

of a 10-12-passenger tour van traveling south for

almost 2 hours. By the looks of it, it seems like we

are on the road to nowhere. Gliding down a one-

lane street with nothing around but tropical trees

and a warm ray of sunlight streaming through the

window and onto my skin, I try to relax and remind

myself that I’m on vacation in a place I’ve never

been before. Upbeat reggae music is playing low

on the van’s radio as the tour guide, a native Ba-

hamian, ensures that where we are headed is well

worth the long drive. “Lighthouse Beach is the most

beautiful beach in the world,” he claims. “That’s

a bold statement, sir,” I responded. I thought to

myself, “With all the extraordinary beaches in the

world, there’s no way this beach, on the tiny island

of Eleuthera, is the most beautiful.” Little did I

know - he was right.

luckily, each condo offers a golf cart and bicycles to guests for easy transportation to and from the Caribbean Seaside to the Atlantic Ocean with private, three-mile pink-sand beaches. On a day I just wanted to stay on the Buttonwood Reserve property, I enjoyed a resort-style pool just steps from my front door. Barbeque grills and large kitchens are available for guests to host their own cookouts and dinner parties. To dine out, Buttonwood Reserve is situated near several of the island’s most popular restaurants, including Pascale’s Seafood Restaurant and Pool Bar at Sky Beach Club, The Deck, and Rainbow Inn.

From dune buggy excursions, to exploring marine life on a boat tour, Eleuthera is an ecotourism wonderland waiting to be explored and enjoyed. I’m a native Floridian and have spent more than enough time in and around the ocean, however, when Fishbone Tours’ Captain Julius “Bubba” Rankine took us out on his boat into the perfect, crystal clear Caribbean water, I can assure you that I’ve never seen anything like it before.

It was so mystical that I couldn’t resist jumping off the boat right into the water. Along the journey with Captain Julius, the tour included viewing starfish, snorkeling, reef fishing, reef snorkeling, mangrove hunt, and picking out our own conch from a conch garden, which we turned into fresh conch salad on board as an afternoon snack.

There’s plenty of beach that surrounds the island, but as the tour guide stated, there is no other beach in the world as beautiful as Eleuthera’s very own Lighthouse Beach. Both of the two most beautiful Bahamas beaches, Lighthouse Beach and adjacent Lighthouse Bay are located at the southern most tip of Eleuthera. Also known as Lighthouse Point Eleuthera. Lighthouse Point Bay’s majestic rocks and cliffs sit atop pink sands and crystal blue waters that appear to be too beautiful to be real. Climb up the rocks for the best views or lay on the sand at the shoreline to soak in this tropical oasis.

Whether you’ve traveled to Eleuthera before, or never heard of it, I could confidently say

that there is no other place like it in the world. Especially for those planning a wedding, honeymoon, or just a romantic getaway, Eleuthera is an ideal destination because of its privacy, intimacy and natural, untouched beauty. There are no shopping centers on Eleuthera, no crowds, and no traffic. The Queen’s Highway is Eleuthera’s only paved road and is a two-lane country road on which you can drive for miles without seeing another car. Needless to say, there is little need for a map, and on an island less than a mile wide for long stretches, you’re never far from the beach. Drift away to an island of rolling green hills, sleepy villages, and 60 miles of deserted beaches.

You can put a pricetag on renovations, but you’ll never be able to appraise the value of an authentic Florida vacation. Especially not the relaxing, rejuvenating and rewarding vacation you’ll experience at the newly transformed, Naples Grande Beach Resort. In January, the resort completed $18 million renovations that included a redesign of all 424 tower guestrooms and suites, three new restaurants, beach and pool area renovations and more. I had the pleasure of experiencing the result of this impressive “facelift” during a weekend stay at the beautiful property.

Naples Grande has 474 coastal inspired and designed guestrooms including 29 gulf view suites and 50 bungalow suites. Upon entering my own guestroom, I was immediately taken aback by my private balcony with gorgeous, breathtaking views of the Gulf. How lucky am I to have a room with such a large private patio and astonishing balcony view, I thought. It wasn’t too long afterwards that I realized I wasn’t as special as I thought! During a leisurely stroll and tour of the property, I soon learned that the Naples Grande Beach Resort is the only hotel in the entire city that can boast a private patio and balcony for each and every single guestroom. Despite the numerous offerings for exquisite dining at all hours of the day, there was nothing

I enjoyed more than simply ordering breakfast via the resort’s fantastic room service, laying back on the balcony patio furniture and enjoying my meal as the sun kissed my skin and the Gulf breeze gently blew through my hair.

As I mentioned, Naples Grande has quite the impressive list of on-site restaurants and bars.

On the first night of our stay at the resort, my companions and I treated ourselves to dinner at The Catch of the Pelican. With a specialty in premium steaks and local seafood such as snapper and grouper, you’ll be at a loss for choices upon picking up the restaurant’s extensive menu. A relaxed, yet sophisticated setting provided us with the perfect location to unwind after a busy, but fantastic day. We feasted on a selection of foods crafted with locally grown produce and featuring a variety of vibrant flavors from the Gulf Coast. Our next dining experience came in the form of lunch at Rhode’s End, Naple Grande’s new Mediterranean beach restaurant. The beach bar and grill serves lunch and dinner with Mediterranean style dishes like grilled octopus salad, hummus and pita, feta flatbreads, fried baby squid and burgers with tzatziki sauce. The light breeze, beachfront setting and stunning

Gulf of Mexico views kept us seated and chatting long after our plates had been cleared away by the friendly staff.

What is a resort vacation without a little pamper time? Naples Grande’s luxurious spa proved to be the perfect place for just that. The spa encompasses four pavilions and features 12 treatment rooms, including a Spa Villa with a soaking tub, whirlpool bath, sundeck and patio. I opted for a 50-Minute deep tissue massage which turned out to be just as wonderful as it sounds. After being spoiled by the spa staff, a refreshing dip may be in order at one of Naples Grande’s three heated outdoor pools. The Mangrove Pool is a thrill for every member of the family with its breathtaking waterslide twisting 100 feet around a rock tower through landscaped waterfalls. Guests looking for a more secluded pool for some relaxing laps or water aerobics would enjoy the Hibiscus Hideaway pool, neatly tucked between the Garden Villa courtyards. My personal favorite was the adults-only Palm Terrace. My companion and I spent the better part of the afternoon at the sparkling pool inside one of their many private cabanas that come equipped with a dining table for four, a flat screen TV and personal refrigerator. A butler service that includes refreshing snacks and drinks from The Gulf Coast Oasis surf-shack themed pool bar was also available and taken much advantage of during our wonderful time at the pool.

With all that I experienced during my fabulous weekend, I think every guest at the resort would agree with me when I say that Naples Grande could easily stop their renovations today and be far more than just “ahead” of the competition. However, the resort has continued its pursuit for perfection by recently announcing an extensive renovation of the Naples Grande Golf Club. Highly acclaimed and designed by Rees Jones, the 18-hole, 6,955-yard, par 72 course is located just minutes from the resort and set among a lush landscape of native Florida pine hammocks, live oak, grand cypress trees, and brilliant water. A brand new clubhouse is a key highlight of the project along with significant improvements to the course including a complete fairway re-grass and tee renovation which kicks off in June. Golf club members and hotel guests can expect to tee off on the newly re-grassed course by September with the new clubhouse set to be unveiled in the first quarter of 2016. The 13,500 square-foot facility will feature Tuscan architectural

design and provide various luxury amenities including stately locker rooms, a full-service dining room and bar, a separate 6,500 square-foot golf cart storage facility and more.

Naples Grande Beach Resort’s gorgeous property is surrounded by 200 acres of a protected mangrove estuary intertwined with a system of bridges and elevated walking paths that afford access to three miles of beachfront on the Gulf of Mexico. One of the most memorable experiences from my stay took place on my final morning when I went for a light jog along the resort’s gorgeous nature walk. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking and my words on this paper will never do it justice. Naples Grande Beach Resort’s Asset Manager and General Manager Hans Schmitt has said, “Our goal is to provide

guests with an upscale, intimate and effortless Floridian experience.” I think it’s safe to say Naples Grande has done a masterful job of achieving just that. There’s still so much left for me to experience that I know another trip is due in the very near future. From paddle boarding on the beach to a high-intensity tennis match on one of the resort’s 15 award-winning courts… all of this can take place without ever stepping foot off property. Once you do decide to venture into the city you’ll quickly see that you are in walking distance of the renowned Waterside Shops, Southwest Florida’s most luxurious shopping mall and much more. Go ahead and experience all this and more for yourself ! Make time today to plan your next vacation to the bigger, newer and better, Naples Grande Beach Resort.

Your reception is set, your colors are selected so what’s next? A signature cocktail can add a touch of glamour and personalization to your reception. Signature cocktails can be personalized a number of ways. It can be the cocktail you both shared on your first date, a cocktail that matches the colors of the wedding or if you both went to college in Georgia, for example, it might be a cocktail that reminds the two of you of biting into the sweetest, juiciest Georgia Peach.

Think of a signature cocktail as one more special touch to make your wedding day memorable. How do you even create a cocktail that’s all yours? Work with your caterer on the recipe, and call on your party planner to help with the look.

Seri Kertzner of Little Miss Party Planner suggests paper flourishes that will go with it: Paper straws with die-cut flags, kraft-paper sleeves (if you’re serving hot apple cider), letterpress coasters, custom stirrers, and specialty cocktail napkins. “We love incorporating signature

cocktails at all of the events we produce,” she says. “Especially since many people have recently discovered cocktails. Keep in mind to have a mock-tail on hand for those who do not imbibe. This is thoughtful and let’s everyone participate,” she adds.

Serving a signature cocktail at the cocktail hour can also help bring down the cost since you can eliminate a full bar, and offer your guests wine and soft drinks if they do not want to enjoy a cocktail. “Often signature cocktails are pre-batched and passed so the caterer can take advantage of the cost savings and purchase larger format bottles,” says Kertzner.

No matter what the cocktail, your guests will appreciate the thoughtfulness and the detail. Here’s to the Bride and Groom!

WHaT To WeAR

WHeReWeDDING etIQUette 101

Whether you’re attending a wedding yourself, helping out a friend, or picking something out for your guy, knowing what to wear to a wedding can be complicated and a bit overwhelming. Wedding attire etiquette is a thing and everyone should know the basics to wedding attire. For starters, you cannot, ever, wear white to a wedding! Thusly, here are a few tips on etiquette to keep in mind for your next wedding invitation.

Black Tie Weddings

Black tie weddings are the most elegant of all weddings. It’s the perfect time to wear that gorgeous gown that has been patiently waiting for the opportunity to be worn. Such elegant events don’t come that often. Then again, this could also be an excuse to buy that beautiful dress you passed by last week!

Ladies: Since black tie weddings are the most elegant of affairs, evening gowns or very elegant cocktail dresses are a wonderful fit. Don’t be afraid to choose something beaded, embellished with sequins, or to splurge on the ultimate statement necklace.

Gentlemen: For black tie weddings, tuxedos are a must. A tux should go along with a white tuxedo shirt, a black skinny tie or bowtie, and black dress shoes. For warmer seasons, it would be best to go with suspenders rather than a vest and swap that white shirt for a bold color suitable for the occasion.

Winter Wedding

Lace or embroidered cocktail dresses, evening gowns, or long sleeved maxi dresses, if done well can bring you to the perfect combination of elegance and warmth. Black, ivory, olive, shades of red or even a light cocktail dress, can be paired with a fur coat, dramatic jewelry, and pair of pumps.

Men should look for darker tones and try out a tweed suit this winter. A white shirt can be paired with vest and dark or bold patterned tie. The suits should be well-fitted and for those very cold nights can be layered with a winter coat, a light cardigan or an elegant scarf.

Outdoor and Summer Wedding

Strictly outdoor or summer weddings tend to fall closer to the casual side of the fashion spectrum. Don’t misinterpret this with getting away with a beach dress and some flip flops. Outdoor weddings are still formal. These type of weddings are usually in the spring when the weather is warm. a delicate chiffon sundress, spring patterns, and pastels are perfectly suited for the outdoors. You should bring a pashmina or light cardigan for windy nights. Sandals are the way to go, in this case, we recommend to look for a pair of wedges since high heels can be tricky to walk in especially if it is at the beach.

A suit on the lighter side will work best for men. For such cases where attire should be casual but still maintain a formal look, a well-fitted khaki, ivory, light blue, or a light grey suit are suitable options. Combine a white, pastel, or lightly colored shirt with a colorful tie or bowtie, especially for a more fun and laidback environment. And when picking out a shoes, try going for those slipper-like loafers.

Whether it is the dead of winter or the midst of summer these wedding look tips and etiquette should inspire and help you get an idea for the next wedding you attend.

Vintage wedding

By Ro Martinez

your wedding day is one of the most special days of your life. Make it memorable by selecting a theme or your favorite style. Vintage style is very popular among young brides. Vintage can be described as old yet desirable because of an item’s quality, family history, and beauty. Vintage may mean wearing a dress that is at least 20 years old or passed down from mother to daughter. It may also mean carrying a vintage theme throughout the entire venue, from table linens, decorations, colors, china and more. Vintage style may have started because of the old rhyme “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue...” or with a young girl dreaming of looking the way her mother did on her wedding day.

Style

Vintage is continuity between the past, the present, and the future, but how do you achieve it? To me, vintage style means silk, lace, ruffles, a soft color palette, and small touches of a bygone era. Here are some touches you can incorporate into your vintage wedding plans:

invitations

Lace, a faded soft color scheme, scrolls and floral inspired backgrounds add to the romantic feel.

dress

An authentic vintage wedding dress worn by the bride’s mother or family member is the perfect touch for the vintage bride. Or have one made. Elizabeth Novais of Betta Novais Designs shared, “For the bride, vintage style carries a twist of old with new appeal. I create European inspired 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s vintage dresses and couture fashions that Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe would have worn. Young brides like it.”

rings

Art Deco, etched scrolls, or filigree styles can be inherited from family or purchased affordably because previously worn by another couple.

accessories

Vintage touches such as rhinestones, pearls, and crystals can be found on vintage veils, headpieces, hair ornaments and bridal jewelry and can add the perfect soft touch to any bride.

flowers

“Flowers are very important to any size wedding and theme. A bride’s personality

can be shown through her choice of flowers, and they provide a way for a bride to express herself in color and design.” Amanda Gabro, florist who provided flowers for our bride.

cake

A soft color palette, cascading flowers and pearls, and vintage inspired topper are needed for a vintage feel.

favors

Vintage handkerchiefs donated from family members or purchased from eBay or garage sales can be tied with ribbon engraved with the wedding date.

décor

Tea-dyed table toppers with dried flowers in mason jars wrapped with sheer lace and tied with a variety of ribbons as centerpieces set the perfect mood for grandmother’s china or mismatched floral-inspired dinnerware. Vintage doors anchored and adorned with lace panels can make a beautiful outdoor altar or backdrop for bride and grooms table.

Keep it simple. Break down the planning into several manageable stages. Do not try to do it all yourself. I will never forget a bride we photographed who did everything herself because her husband was finishing his degree, and she wanted everyone in attendance to enjoy themselves. The end result was an exhausted bride who cried all through the ceremony and reception because she pulled her back and had to attend to too many details. The photos said it all. The bride looked beautiful in her gorgeous dress but she could barely stand up in her high heels, and her eyes were swollen.

Enlist help. Invite family and close friends to assist with all the details. They will never

know you need help unless you ask them. Take advantage of their skills or what they do for work. You may have a graphic artist in your circle who will be able to design invitations quickly, something that may be overwhelming for you. A family member may be an accomplished seamstress who can alter your dress, saving you time and money.

Once you select your theme and color scheme, stick with it. Flip-flopping after you make purchases in the middle of the planning stage can lead to frustration, and the decor will lack cohesion. Keep your budget in mind and splurge on items that are visible or important to you.

A vintage themed wedding never gets old! Congratulations to the happy couple!

Dr. Jon Paul trevisani is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and is the medical director of the Aesthetic Surgery Centre located in Maitland, Florida. This compassionate, down to earth doctor chose plastic surgery because he likes helping people feel better about themselves. Dr. Jon treats each patient with confidential, personalized care. He is committed to assisting his patients to reach their individual enhancement goals. Dr. Jon is known for his perfectionism and attention to detail. He shows his high level of competency through his understanding and explanation of procedures to patients.

Much like other fields, the area of plastic surgery is constantly evolving, adapting to new advanced techniques and seeking ways to deliver safe care to surgical patients. The latest trend that has elicited much conversation in the recent years is the breast lift with implant surgery. “These patients all want their breasts lifted with fullness as one procedure, however, this is not always in their best interest,” Dr. Jon says. Furthermore he adds, “However, we have found a certain population of patients that will have a longer lasting result when we separate these procedures and perform them in a staged fashion by performing the breast lift surgery first and waiting six months for the breast implants. In doing this, these patients are much happier in the long run with results lasting much longer.” Dr. Jon educates his patients regarding the surgical procedure of interest and provides an honest and expert opinion. “It is not an uncommon practice for me to advise a patient that they are not a surgical candidate. I believe being honest with patients is part of building a trustworthy relationship.”

Dr. Jon specializes in cosmetic surgery and does not offer all plastic surgery procedures, instead he has chosen to devote his career to specific areas becoming an expert in breast augmentation, implant revision, breast lift, breast augmentation with lift and breast reduction surgery. He additionally offers his expertise to body contouring procedures, such as abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and liposuction as well as facial rejuvenation procedures such as face lift and eyelid surgery.

The philosophy at The Aesthetic Surgery Centre is to provide the highest level of quality care, safety and concern for the individual, while maintaining absolute integrity and confidentiality in every aspect of its interaction with patients. The Aesthetic Surgery Centre is fully accredited by the American Association of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities, Inc. (AAAASF). The center has been expertly designed by medical professionals to enhance the patient experience. He goes on and states, “From the front office to the operating room, my team’s experience in the field of plastic surgery numbers well over 100 years. We have a board-certified anesthesiologist with 25 years of experience just in cosmetic surgical cases.” The Aesthetic Surgery Centre features private consultation rooms, state of the art operating and recovery rooms with the highest levels of technology and a highly qualified staffed facility.

congratulations, you’re engaged!

oUt & ABoUt

12-10 monTHS in aDvance

Select the date. Choose a few backup dates as well, in case your first choice is already booked.

Start a wedding folder or spreadsheet to keep yourself organized, and decide whether or not you want to hire a wedding planner.Figure out the budget. Setting your budget in the early stages is essential because you won’t be able to move forward with booking the vendors until you’ve determined how much you want to spend.

Begin a rough draft of the guest list and start to compile current addresses.

Pick your wedding party. Decide who you’d most like to have by your side at the altar including the maid of honor and the best man.

Select the venue and reserve the date! Choose whether or not you want to have separate locations for the ceremony and reception, factoring in travel time for the two locations. Here are some Tampa Bay area venues to consider that’ll take your breath away:

• The Vinoy Renaissance St. Petersburg Resort & Golf Club

• Tampa Marriott Waterside Hotel & Marina

• Loews Don CeSar Hotel (This pink palace right on the Gulf Of Mexico dates back to 1928 and is perfect for an intimate wedding)

The moment you’ve been waiting for: time to start shopping for your wedding gown! Once you find the dress of your dreams, you should schedule several fittings in advance for when it gets closer to the big day. Check out these bridal shops and boutiques as you begin your search:

• CC’s Bridal Boutique

• The White Closet Bridal

• Malindy Elene Bridal Boutique (lovers of Amsale and Alvina Valenta gowns, look no further!)

9-6 monTHS in aDvance

Now is the time to focus on selecting your vendors. It would be wise to begin your search sooner rather than later to make sure your first choices are available on your big day.

Meet with the caterer to do a tasting. If your wedding venue doesn’t offer its own catering service, look for your own and hire the service as soon as possible. These are some of our favorite local caterers:

• Creative Catering

• Puff ‘n Stuff (offers a variety of of gourmet cuisine including American, continental, ethnic, vegetarian and vegan)

• Spotlight Catering

Book the entertainment, whether it’s a band or a DJ, and find an officiant who will perform your ceremony. Map out the ceremony with the officiant and confirm all important documents you’ll need for the wedding (these vary by religion and county.)

Reserve a block of hotel rooms for out-of-town guests and book your own suite for the wedding night.

Take your bridal party shopping for their bridesmaid and flower girl dresses! Allow at least six months for the dresses to be ordered and sized.

Send out save-the-date cards. Select and order invitations, envelopes and thank-you cards. Hire a calligrapher if desired.

Begin looking for a photographer/videographer and make sure the people you hire are open to doing the type of shots you want.

Book the florist. Florists can serve multiple clients on the same day, which is why you can wait a little longer to select one. Plus, by this point you’ll know exactly what you want your color palette to be.

Take a deep breath, use this page as your guide and get ready to start planning the happiest day of your life!

spring is here! Time to kick the workouts into high gear to get in shape for bathing suits, bridal wear, micro-minis and sleeveless tops. Most people have partnered up with the loyal workout buddies like Fitbit, Vivofit, Jawbone and other fitness trackers. These trackers, along with fitness tracking apps, have become essential to active people not only during workouts, but also throughout the day.

Fitness trackers are really very simple: they count steps; measure sleep; analyze your diet and tabulate metrics such as heart rate, blood oxygen levels, skin temperature, perspiration, body weight and body mass. The aggregate of all this information provides astounding information about one’s overall health and daily habits.

Thing is, this information isn’t being provided to just the user. Third party companies also have access to your personal health information, and they’re paying a lot of money for it. The privacy controversy surrounding these health trackers has been a cause for concern by the government in the past and continues to be a topic addressed by lobbyists.

In May of 2014, the FTC held a meeting about these fitness trackers and healthcare apps, focusing on statistics of exactly how much of this information is being bought, who the purchasers of the health databases are, and the privacy protections, consents and disclaimers that should be available to every user of fitness trackers and healthcare apps.

The FTC studied 43 different fitness trackers and health apps (wearables not included) and found:

• 26% of the free apps and 40% of the paid apps did not have a privacy policy

• 39% of the free apps and 30% of the paid apps sent data to someone not disclosed by

the developer either in-app or in any privacy policy they found

• 13% of the free apps and 10% of the paid apps encrypted all data connections between the app and the developer’s website.

One app tested transmitted information to eighteen (18) different third-parties. That information included device information, consumer specific information (name, email, user name), workout and diet information. Twenty-two (22) of the observed third parties were able to obtain the following information: exercise, diet, medical and symptom search information, zip code, location, and gender. Scary, right?

Even scarier is how the information gets used. The third-parties are able to aggregate the information, which provides them with a database on you, the consumer, and all your health issues, habits, dietary restrictions and the like. Generally, you must give your consent to share your personal health information pursuant to privacy laws, but quite a handful of these apps don’t offer a privacy policy. Voila, the third-parties have

circumvented the privacy laws. Once they obtain their data on you, they can do what they want with it. Astounding!

This may sound like Big Brother, but this time the government is on our side. This is a hot topic on Capitol Hill, with companies like Fitbit hiring lobbyists to respond to mounting concerns about health privacy law. With the Apple Watch and Apple’s Healthkit making its debut on the market, health data-sharing concerns are at an all-time high. And while there are some protections in place, (a few laws prohibit the sale of health data to insurance companies to prevent unfair consumer discrimination); lawmakers are concerned the privacy policy requirements are not evolving as fast as the technology.

So before you become part of the world’s largest healthcare experiment, make sure there are privacy policies protecting your information on all health and fitness apps, gadgets and widgets. And for crying out loud, read the fine print!

celebrating the diversity of tampa isn’t difficult with all the fun and progressive events hosted around our city each month. This May, the Tampa Museum of Art is holding its premier annual fundraising and awareness benefit, Pride & Passion, which celebrates the city’s arts, diversity and community.

This year’s gala will include rich hors d’oeuvres, decadent desserts, specialty martini bars, music and dancing, and surprise entertainment throughout the night. Attendees are also welcome to browse the halls of the Tampa Museum, catching sights of its intriguing, exclusive exhibits.

2015 marks the ninth anniversary of this evening gala, which began with a small group of friends from Tampa’s LGBT community. Hoping to promote interest in the arts and support the Museum’s rich educational programs for curious learners of all ages, the event has grown to be the Museum’s best attended event. Sponsors from the region have pledged their support for growing Tampa’s diverse arts community by financially backing and promoting the event each year.

“The event has become Tampa’s very own version of the Met Gala,” Okie Tilo, Vice Chair of the 2015 Steering Committee, explains. “Our guests come decked out head-to-toe, ready to work the red carpet and look fabulous the entire evening.”

But this isn’t one of those typical stuffy galas. Guests of all different races, genders, and lifestyles are coming together to throw an amazing party that raises money for the Museum -- a cornerstone to the growing downtown Tampa culture.

This year’s theme is especially exciting: Forbidden City. The rooms, food, and entertainers will all have a pan-Asian flare. Imagine sipping a Blushing Dragon at the Buddha Bar with Harajuku girls dancing in sync around you. Yeah, that’s not your typical museum fundraiser!

2015 Pride & Passion: Forbidden City is on Saturday, May 16, 2015. To purchase tickets, please visit tampamuseum.org.

WhAt to WeAR:

Want to fit with the pan-Asian theme, but not sure how to stay away from stereotypical costumes? Try stealing elements of traditional Asian dress and pairing them with modern, trendy pieces, like the following designers did. Continued on

For a chic, statement piece, try modeling this look from Max and Lubov Azaria’s Resort 2015 collection. The structured lines of the dress imitate the traditional Chinese pagoda, creating a subtle nod to the pan-Asian theme.

Moving is always a little stressful but when you move in with someone (who has a pet of their own!) things can get pretty hectic. And when you’re in love nothing but your relationship matters so remembering to help your pet transition into a new life can get a little hazy. Luckily, we have prepared a bit of dog-friendly advice and treat-filled steps to help you ease your four-legged family into a new home.

1. A blInd dATe

Don’t wait until the last minute to bring your two dogs together. That means your two pups need a date of their own before the big move. So check your calendar and pick a date for the two!

2. MeeT & GreeT

Before leaving the both of them alone to play, have the two on leashes and introduce them to each other. Let them sniff it out and play it cool. Each of you should use positive (verbal) reinforcement every time the two get

along. When you see them play around, wag their tails, or being playful, keep praising them to encourage the good behavior. In case of any funny business or they get too excited, distract them by making them “sit” or “stay” to ease tensions and give them both treats!

3. dOuble dATes

Once the two get along, try taking them on walks or out to play at park and let them build a relationship, walk besides each other and play fetch and give them each treats when they’re getting along and are obedient to your commands.

4. The uPs & dOwns

Look out for extreme growls, teeth bearing, aggressive barking, or defensive postures or aggressive stares, which should be impeded. If you notice either dog falling into one of these postures, immediately use positive reinforcement, back them away from each other and have them listen to your

commands. Then slowly, let them close to each other and try getting them to play again.

5. A nIGhT In

Once you know the two of them get along, bring them home for a long night in. Let them stay the night at each house before moving them in together. Let them get comfortable with each other in every situation. Don’t let either one of them be territorial so when the two of them are living together they are not overprotective, jealous or start fights. Finally, when it’s time to feed them, do it in individual areas and pick the food bowls up when they’re done. If there is one thing dogs want more than chew toys and belly rubs, is food. So it can get a little messy!

So there you have it newlyweds! The 5 simple steps to bringing your pets together before moving in together with your new family.

W I t h P u P P i e s

By Katerina Maurtua

if you own a dog, you know that taking care of your pet is like taking care of a child. You treat them, love them, and worry about them as much as you would your own family. They may drive you nuts but they are always there when you need them most. They make you smile and those puppy eyes let them get away with almost anything. Let’s face it; your pup is your ‘fur baby.’ So, when you meet that special someone to share the rest of your life with, his or her approval is just as important as your own.

Hope is the sparkle we bring.
