As a kid growing up here, it didn’t seem odd that we had a four-day holiday in late February for the rodeo. I mean, of course we have rodeo weekend with the largest non-mechanical (horse-drawn) parade in the world. Add in the pro rodeo stars in all their glory and we are loving our horsey life! As we grew up, newcomers often mentioned how odd it was to celebrate the sport with a holiday. But we get it! We love it. Always have. Always will. So don't miss it. You will never forget the sights, sounds, and smells at the rodeo grounds. Need to gear up? Head to Nogales and the Paul Bond Boot Company where they have been turning out hand-made custom boots since 1946. Or here in Tucson visit the Boot Barn on Oracle Road to get dudded up from head to toe. What about Arizona Hatters on Campbell and Glenn? No need to look like a greenhorn, after all. Whoa, there's more, Nelly. Some of the best steaks in the world are scattered around town. More on this in our Local Experiences section. There are loads of other things to do, from a mountain-to-mountain hike and professional cycling races to our massive Tucson Book Fair and the TSO's Latin Fire concerts. Check out our calendar of events. In case you, dear reader, did not pick up on it yet, we are thrilled to put together this passion project every month. We love exploring things new and old. And your feedback is a true gift. So let us know what you like, or don’t (jeff.herr@citylifestyle.com). We do this for you. Thank you for the opportunity and honor!

Casino Coming to Grant and I-10 A new casino in Tucson is closer to becoming a reality. President Biden signed the Old Pascua Community Land Acquisition Act into law, paving the way for the tribe to build a new casino at Grant Road and Interstate 10, as well as new housing and preservation of religious buildings at the site. The act allows for gaming activity and was sponsored by U.S. Rep. Raúl Grijalva.

local experiences The best places and things to do in our area.
With the rodeo in town later this month we take a trip to southern Arizona's best steakhouses. Not the New York City kind. But local, mesquite-grilled cowboy steaks with pinto beans and maybe some grilled onions. When building this list we focused first on Tucson Originals (RIP Don Luria!) that keep it pure and simple.
Our Picks to Show Your Local Love SILVER SADDLE STEAKHOUSE: Ranch-style steaks...overlooking I-10 near
south Fourth Ave? Yep. Silver Saddle has long been revered for its grilled steaks. How about the 24-ounce porterhouse ($35). 310 E Benson Hwy LI'L ABNER 'S STEAKHOUSE: Li'l Abner's has always been a seemingly remote western hideaway. But the steaks are bold. How about a two-pound "Cowboy" porterhouse served with all-you-can-eat beans, garlic toast, and salad. 8501 N. Silverbell Rd. CHAR R O STEAK AND DEL R EY: How about a 14 oz, 22-day dry-aged and grass-fed prime rib with smoked ancho rub and green-chile mash potatoes? And maybe a house margarita or sangria? 188 E Broadway Blvd PINNACLE PEAK: Trail Dust Town is where you find Pinnacle Peak and the Cowboy Steak. Dinner also includes bread, baked potato, cowboy beans, salad, and fruit cobbler for $40. 6541 E. Tanque Verde Rd. DAISY MAE'S STEAKHOUSE: Daisy Mae's brings the steaks. But don't miss their baby back ribs with beans, potatoes, toast, salad, and the best ribs around. All for $32 for a full rack. 2735 W Anklam Rd.

Make it a “Wholesum” New Year TOMATOES GROWN FOR GOOD: GOOD FLAVOR, GOOD HEALTH, GOOD EARTH

Miguel Crisantes Gatzionis migrated from Greece to Mexico in the 1920s. In the '30s, he started a farming business in Sinaloa, Mexico, and, eventually, his son, Theojary Crisantes Sr. became an organic farming trailblazer. Fast forwarding to today, 40 miles south of Tucson in Amado, you will find Wholesum Farms Arizona. Wholesum is a family-owned business with their all-glass tomato greenhouses. Theojary Jr. shared that they started the transition in the 1960’s and shifted to become 100% organic from 2005 to 2007. Their goal was to produce delicious, organic food that could be attainable and accessible. “In order to nourish a healthy world through produce that is Grown for Good, we must create the best growing environments for our crops to thrive. From our
all-glass tomato greenhouses in Arizona to our squash fields down in Central Mexico, we use site-specific solutions to deliver a consistent supply of healthy and delicious organic produce year-round. That is why we invest in the latest sustainable, organic growing technology. By constantly innovating, we can prepare for the future of organics because we believe the future is organic.” Tucson is considered a “high desert,” which means it is great weather for growing tomatoes, as they grow all year round. “During summer, we have more light hours, and the dry weather prevents disease. The only negative time would be during monsoon as we get less hours of sun and light and the climate is not as dry," said Mr. Crisantes. "We love growing our tomatoes in greenhouses because we can create the perfect conditions for the best-tasting crops while keeping them nice and protected from harsh weather conditions and pests. At the same time, we can make efficient use of space and natural resources such as irrigation water." Wholesum’s Fair Trade commitment is also something to talk about! “We are passionate about empowering people to live healthy lives. This isn’t just reflected through the food we grow, but in how we care for our employees and the communities where we grow. This is why we are Fair Trade Certified.” CONTINUED >

Candles for a Cause With every purchase from Kenny Kandles, 5-year-old Kendra Cuevas takes one step closer to sharing her first ever smile. Kendra was diagnosed with Moebius Syndrome, a rare condition affecting the sixth and seventh cranial nerves responsible for facial movement. As a result, Kendra is affected by facial paralysis, she cannot project a smile or raise her eyebrows. Despite her difference, Kendra is an incredibly outgoing child involved in
everything from dance classes to soccer. Her laughter is contagious, and her happiness radiates from within. When asked about her condition, Kendra tells others that she smiles from her heart. “Anybody who knows her, loves her,” her mother, Karla Cuervas, said. Karla learned of a life-changing surgery that could fix her paralysis and give her daughter the ability to project her emotions. The young mother was hesitant, but said that
FOR A LITTLE GIRL WHO CANNOT SMILE, SHE CHOOSES INSTEAD TO SMILE WITH HER HEART.

Kendra helped make her decision after she asked the doctors if the surgery would fix her smile. According to her doctors, the two-phase surgery would have to be completed before she turned 6 to minimize risk. When she found out that the surgery came with a $200,000 out-of-pocket cost, she and her husband were prepared to do whatever they needed to see Kendra smile. Erick Cuevas, her husband, made the tough decision to join the military after discovering that they would have access to insurance that would cover some of the cost. The exact amount it will cover is still unknown. Kendra hasn’t seen her father in several months while he is in boot camp. She misses her dad, and Karla misses her husband, who she said is her biggest supporter. “The main reason he joined was her,” Karla said. A mother, life coach, radio personality, and lash salon owner, Karla is no stranger to working hard to accomplish her goals. After seeing an Instagram post featuring sculpted candles, she launched Kenny Kandles in October of 2022 to raise money for Kendra’s surgery. “I chose candles because everyone wants to light up for her,” Karla said. She was encouraged to just ask for donations, but she wanted to give back to the people supporting her daughter’s journey. Every time one of her candles is lit, she said, it’s lit for Kendra’s dream.
Although Kendra’s peers welcome her with open arms, Karla said that they struggle with adults making comments about her daughter’s appearance. She reached out for help, but said an organization that she attended a meeting for urged parents to isolate and homeschool their children with the condition. “They’re asking me to teach my daughter to be shy, to be embarrassed,” Karla said, “It’s not a mistake, or a punishment, that God sent her as my daughter.” Karla emphasizes teaching self-love and the importance of inner beauty to her daughter, and ensures that Kendra always feels loved. An additional lack of familial support opened her eyes to how few resources there are for people to educate themselves on Kendra’s condition. She quickly realized that Kenny Kandles could do more than just raise money. Situated alongside candles of all shapes and sizes, her website contains information on Moebius Syndrome and the procedure her daughter will hopefully undergo. Her work won’t stop once Kendra has the surgery, she said. She wants to be a connection to help other parents, educate people, and share Kendra’s message of smiling with her heart. “Now I can see how God lives in me,” Karla said. After Kendra was born, Karla said that she turned into her life’s purpose, and completely changed her worldview.
“I chose candles because everyone wants to
light up for her.”

Now, she looks outward and actively seeks out ways to help as many people as she can.
She said that in her younger days, she wasn’t considerate of others and only sought to look after herself. Now, she looks outward and actively seeks out ways to help as many people as she can. Her giving spirit inspired her to begin the early stages of starting a nonprofit, appropriately named I Smile From My Heart. She wants to use the nonprofit to offer classes for parents of children with Moebius Syndrome, share information about Kendra’s surgery, and establish a support group built on empowering families.

In the meantime, Karla’s focus is on ensuring that Kendra has the surgery before it becomes too risky. You can show your support for Kendra by visiting their Instagram @kennykandles, or their website at kennykandles.bigcartel.com. Both Karla and Kendra believe that a smile is a gift, but the best ones come from within. They ask you, readers, “We can all project a smile, but are you smiling with your heart?”

ELEVATE YOUR CLOSET
Every woman dreams of an organized and beautiful closet space, but it often comes last on the list of places that get their time and attention. Follow our nine tips for transforming and elevating your closet as you Spring clean and declutter for a more peaceful, inspired space you absolutely love.

H OM E U P DAT E | HOM E + DE S I GN
A sneak peek inside the closet of active mom and entrepreneur Keri Tarantino of Leawood, KS reveals a dressing room that rivals celebrity homes in Beverly Hills. But it didn’t come easily. Keri painstakingly planned, designed and curated the space with care. When we first stepped inside, we gasped as our eyes beheld the glory. No detail went unnoticed in this dreamy dressing room. Here are some guiding principles that can be drawn from her exquisite taste and vision. How you organize your closet will of course differ based on the size of your space, the size of your wardrobe, and the kind of life you lead. But applying the guidelines Keri used in her space will result in a much more organized and aesthetically pleasing space.
01
Reserve the front and middle of the closet for clothes worn most often. For someone who gets dressed for work each morning at 6 a.m., work clothes should be at the front of the closet. Store lesser-worn items like formal wear and out-of-season clothes toward the back and on the upper shelves. The large mirror and counter with chair provides the perfect spot to select jewelry and finalize finishing outfit touches. While every closet is different, the key here is everything has a home.
USE R EAL ESTATE WISELY
ORGA NIZE BY KIND A ND COLOR
02
Group clothes by kind first and color second. This ensures quick location of that favorite shirt when it’s needed. Bonus - it’s easy on the eye. Group like with like: Gather belts, sweaters, longsleeve shirts, work pants, dresses, button-down shirts, jeans, shorts, etc., and decide the best place to store each item as a group (e.g., hang pants in the closet, fold and stack sweaters in a bureau). Working with groupings will help you figure out how much space you need and the best way to store each type of item.

NEGATIVE SPACE
03
Using space efficiently is important, but keep in mind every good design includes some negative space. For instance, consider adding built-ins on the long wall of your closet but keep the short wall open with a mirror.
FACE CLOTHES THE SA ME DIR ECTION
04
It may seem silly, but when dealing with a small space, little things count. Hanging all clothes the same direction is a no-brainer for continuity in your closet.
05
The simplest and fastest way to make a BIG difference in your closet organization is to get matching hangers that go beyond the traditional plastic or wire hangers. And for sure ditch any with paper from the dry cleaner! Here’s a few of our favorite elevated hangers:

BAG & SHOE STOR AGE
Alternate the way shoes are facing. This ultimately helps fit more on each row and provide a visually appealing way to display those prized possessions. Everyone understands the frustration of searching for that one clutch when rushing out for the evening. Bags benefit from a space all their own. Get clear container storage for small bags and purses so you can locate and access them easily.
HIDDEN STOR AGE Hidden storage is a game changer in keeping a closet visually clean. Tuck folded clothes behind closed cabinet doors if the space is multipurpose. The floor-to-ceiling built-ins in Keri’s closet contain folded clothes, athleisure and other items she needs as she gets ready each day. Tuck away the least-used items: Use hidden storage and the very top of the closet for outof-season items and stuff only worn a few times a year.

LIGHTING Lighting is everything in a closet. Gone are the days of dim recessed lighting being sufficient. Consider adding a statement lighting fixture like a chandelier or pendant that provides ample bright lighting to your space, no matter how big or small.
08 M AKE A STATEMENT Why use an armchair when you have room for a sofa? Slide up a stool and colorful area rug to complete the look. If you have excessive wall space, consider a mini gallery wall or a statement wall with wallpaper to polish things off.
