The winding down of the year always brings about a time of reflection for us— remembering everything we’ve done or accomplished in months past; looking back on turkey disaster stories, mornings watching the Thanksgiving Day parade or afternoons spent curled up on the couch after one too many pieces of pie; thinking of the people, experiences and things we’ve been blessed with in the last year. As we press pause on the hustle and bustle of life putting together a monthly magazine, we’re able to look back on the past year and, most meaningfully, the stories from all of you that have made what we do possible. We also take this chance to think of those less fortunate and encourage you to take the opportunity this giving season to donate to local organizations or charities giving back locally.

CORPORATE TEAM CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER Steven Schowengerdt

We hope that as you read this issue, you—like us—find inspiration in the lives and experiences of your neighbors and the connections that have been made.

Mountain State Awaits

OUR 14TH STATE OFFERS GREAT PLACES TO SKI OR DO OTHER THINGS LIKE EAT, DRINK AND SLEEP

FOR MANY PEOPLE, A TRIP TO VERMONT DURING THE WINTER MEANS SKIING AT ONE OF ITS MANY OUTSTANDING SKI RESORTS. But Vermont offers plenty of other outdoor activities as well as things to enjoy inside, including eating and drinking! Vermont is a historic leader in U.S. snow sports. It is home to the country’s first alpine ski tow built in 1934. It also had the first chairlift in the nation opened on Mount Mansfield in 1940, plus the first Nordic ski center at Trapp Family Lodge. With 20 alpine ski resorts, 30 cross-country touring centers and 7,300 acres of alpine terrain, Vermont is the go-to place for East Coast skiing. The Green Mountains offer some of the country’s best skiing. Stowe, Smuggler’s Notch and Killington Resort all feature exceptional skiing for every skill level. STOWE Vermont’s tallest peak, Mount Mansfield, and neighboring Spruce Peak are in the heart of the state’s snow belt and make Stowe one of the best places to ski in New England. KILLINGTON Killington provides skiers and riders of all ability levels a choice of wide-open groomed cruisers, narrow classic New England runs, moguls, steeps and trees all serviced by 22 lifts including two express gondolas and a new high-speed six-person bubble chair.

Vermont offers plenty of other outdoor activities as well as things to enjoy inside, including eating and drinking!” SMUGGLER’S NOTCH With its six terrain parks, Smuggler’s Notch offers a progression experience, beginning with the Riglet Park for little riders and ending at the Zone with its big hits for experienced freestyle skiers and riders. Even if you don’t ski, there are a lot of other outdoor things to do that are fun for adults and kids, including: + Cross-Country Skiing – Centers offer a wide range of groomed trails or sheltered tracks through the woods. + Sledding – There are sledding parks, many at winter resorts, that bring out the kid in all of us. Grab a snow tube and get going. + Ice Skating – Many Vermont towns and villages have a community skating rink where you can rent skates. If you have your own skates,

Some winter resorts offer guided rides to get you started. + Dog Sledding – Watching 16-dog teams racing over a frozen lake is quite a sight. Maybe you can try being the musher! + Track a Moose – You never know what you’ll see if you take a walk in the woods after a fresh snow. As for things to do indoors, the possibilities include: + A Day at a Spa – Dozens of inns and resorts throughout the state feature spas and fitness centers. + Enjoy a Concert – From jazz to folk to classical, Vermont’s music scene is busy and eclectic. Check the calendar of events for listings. + Explore Breweries and Wineries – Vermont is home to dozens of craft breweries with some of the larger ones offering tours.

COZY up your HOME TAKE A CUE FROM THE SCANDINAVIAN CONCEPT OF HYGGE AND WELCOME THE TRANSITION OF SUMMER TO AUTUMN WITH A RELAXING REFRESH

West Chester Lifestyle | November 2019

PUMPKIN SPICE, APPLE CINNAMON AND A HOT CUP OF COCOA. Fall is all about getting warm and comfy as a chill hits the air—preparing yourself for winter, and cherishing those final moments of summer. As the nights grow longer, we’re embracing the Scandinavian secret of hygge by creating a space that emphasizes simple pleasures and finding joy in everyday moments—even when the weather is dreary. A burnt orange adirondack rug and woodland pillow set a ‘cozy cabin’ mood. Wicker baskets filled with apples and gourds are a reminder of the importance of the harvest, and a fun way to help teach young kids about the changing of the seasons. During this transitional time, light wood, fluffy blankets and scented candles beckon crisp autumn evenings, while a vase of fresh flowers—particularly mums—are an ode to the bright, sunny days we’re not quite ready to give up yet.

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

Take to the Slopes to Stay Fit INSTEAD OF HIBERNATING THIS WINTER, GET YOUR SKIS WAXED, GET OUT YOUR GOGGLES AND GLOVES AND GET OUTSIDE ARTICLE DOROTHY KENNEDY

West Chester Lifestyle | November 2019

FOR SOME PEOPLE, THE FIRST SIGN OF SNOW MEANS TIME TO BUNDLE UP IN FRONT OF A FIRE WITH A HOT TODDY AND A GOOD BOOK. But, if you want to stay fit during the winter, forget about hibernating. Instead, get your skis waxed, grab your goggles and gloves and take to the slopes. Skiing involves physical, mental, social and emotional aspects of wellness. It combines the great outdoor air with physical activity and some sunshine exposure. All ages and skill levels can benefit from a day out on the snow. Benefits of skiing: Increases cardiovascular endurance: As an aerobic endurance activity, skiing can help an individual burn calories and lose weight. For a good cardio workout, beginners can walk up the slope instead of using the tow rope or ski lift. Strengthens lower body muscles: Because skiing puts you in a constant squat position, it works your inner and outer thighs, hamstrings, quads and glutes. Improves balance and core strength: Because you are constantly working to stay balanced while skiing, your core is always engaged. Plus, skiing challenges your balance and agility, helping you fend off slips and falls as you age. Skiing

out-

look: Spending the day on a snow-covered hill or mountain, surrounded by natural outdoor beauty, helps you forget about the stresses of daily life. You’ll also benefit from vitamin D exposure, which helps ward off Seasonal Affective Disorder and boosts your mood. Promotes deep sleep: You will feel exhausted in the best way after a day on the slopes. Improves flexibility: A flexible body is going to be a huge benefit when skiing. By building flexibility, you can avoid muscle strains and sprains. A thorough, regular stretching routine that focuses on the core muscle groups will strengthen the abdominals, obliques and hips that are used in downhill skiing. Improves proprioception: Skiing is an activity involving proprioception, which is one’s ability to feel the position of different body parts and the effort that goes into moving them. Skiing involves balance and coordination and slight movements and positions of your body that you must be aware of. The more you ski, the more you strengthen your ability to be aware of the movement of your body parts. Proprioception weakens The steeper the ski slope, the more calories you burn because you're working harder to maintain balance.

DETERMINING

WHO

THE

BEST

KITCHEN DESIGNER IN PHILADELPHIA IS DIFFICULT. This story about several kitchen designers shows why. One Saturday, we were having an open house at a showroom I used to work at. The 5,000-square-foot display area was packed with visitors as well as the 10 designers who worked for the company. Some of the designers mingled and answered questions, and about five of us had congregated in the middle of the showroom talking among ourselves while casually looking around to see if anyone needed assistance. Apparently, we weren’t that observant because I suddenly realized there was a customer in our little circle quietly listening. I looked down and said, “I’m sorry. We didn’t notice you, miss. Can one of us help you with something?” The customer thought for a moment and said, “I don’t know if one of you would be able to help. Is it OK if we really don’t know the design we want in our kitchen? Even what style cabinetry we want yet?” All five designers immediately started to laugh, and the woman looked a little taken aback at our laughter. I smiled and apologized telling her, “Miss, we aren’t laughing at you. We are laughing because you are the favorite type of customer for any kitchen designer, and all of us would love working with someone who is so open to our ideas. But, we may have a problem figuring out which of us gets to The kitchen above is just one example of what Main Line Kitchen Design can do.

“I don’t want to start a fight,” she said. “And you did notice me first, so why don’t you help me? I do hope you’re one of the best designers.” Again, all the designers started to laugh. “Well,” she asked, “Now what’s everyone laughing at?” I put out my hand and said, “My name is Paul, and I believe we’re all laughing because we know that all of us believe he or she is the best kitchen designer.” With that, everyone started laughing, and we found out our new customer’s name was Colleen.
