A LOVE LETTER TO THE WORLD." ~Mother Teresa This September, we commend two San Clemente locals who are allowing a beautiful love letter to be written to the world with their lives. Lindsay and Dominic Russo run an international nonprofit organization with a special branch called Angel House. Angel House has built 172 homes to date for orphaned children in India. We are proud to be part of a publication that is partnering with Angel House in this significant work. Read more about this story inside our pages. In this month's issue, we also shine a light on a local business, Fiorina, that has created a space for women to come together and feel empowered. The boutique also carries beautiful, quality leather bags that were created with a lot of love, and delivered right here to you all the way from Uganda and India.

A CHARITY TO WATCH LIFESTYLE PUBLICATIONS HELPS ORPHANS IN INDIA HAVE NEW LIFE, HOPE AND A FUTURE

ARTICLE LINDSAY LINEGAR

IN DECEMBER 2016, LIFESTYLE PUBLICATIONS PARTNERED WITH THE NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION, ANGEL HOUSE TO OPEN A HOME FOR ORPHANS IN INDIA. Thanks to their dedication and the generosity of donors, the magazine has helped 50 street children gain access to a better life, and hope for a future. Here at San Clemente Lifestyle Magazine, we were excited to learn that the founders of Angel House, Lindsay and Dominic Russo, are living right here in San Clemente! We listened intently as they shared the story about how it all started, and how far they've come. Angel House was founded in 2010 while Lindsay and Dominic were on a mission trip in India. For Dominic, the experience was familiar. He had been participating in international

learning experiences since he was a teenager, gaining an understanding of the tremendous needs of people in developing nations around the world, such as Guatemala, India and Ghana. For Lindsay, however, visiting India was an eye-opening experience. This was her first time in India, and she was blown away by the overwhelming need she witnessed. It was the most desolate place she had ever seen, smelled or heard, and she noticed how there were hundreds of kids running around the streets, without anyone looking after them. She felt nudged to visit an orphanage. The orphanage she was taken to turned out to be a small, makeshift, tin structure in the backyard of a local person’s home. There were 60 kids sitting on the dirt floor, Indian style, between walls that multiply 100 degree-heat. Come to find out, the orphanage was simply a feeding center, where children could get one meal a day, from a very generous family. “My heart sank in that moment,” says Lindsay. “God struck my heart, and I knew I had to do something.” Lindsay committed right there on the spot to build a home, and Angel House was born. She spoke with Dominic and the pair agreed the issue was urgent. As soon as they were back home in the States, Lindsay put together a logo and website and started telling the story with the few photos and videos she had. She says it was the hardest thing they have ever fundraised for but within a year, in December 2010, the Russos cut the ribbon and opened their first home for 50 kids, near Hyderabad, India. Dominic says he and Lindsay were thinking it would just be the one house, but then they realized how many orphans there were in India: an astonishing 30 million. They knew their work couldn’t end there. They committed to the goal of building 100 homes in India, in theirs and their children’s lifetimes. That’s when something interesting happened. Thanks to her best friend, Michele, her passion, and the powerful story behind the cause, Lindsay landed a spot on the game show Minute to Win It in Los Angeles. Lindsay and Michele made it to level eight on the show and won an impressive $250,000. With her share of the winnings and significant exposure from the show, Lindsay and Dominic were able to open 11 more homes in India. 14

“God struck my heart, and I knew I had to do something.”

San Clemente Lifestyle | September 2018

By year five, Angel House had built 100 homes in India, and have now surpassed their initial goal. Today, there have been 172 homes built, housing more than 4,000 children. The Russos’ new goal is to bring 100,000 kids off the street, and give them a better life and future. “From total poverty and no hope, to hope and a future,” Dominic says, reflecting on the beauty of creating and witnessing the transformation of the children’s lives. Besides the incredible heart behind the mission, Angel House also makes sure to operate sustainably. Dominic says the team’s philosophy is to partner with locals, letting those in India use their own strengths, while also bringing strengths from their team to the table. For example, locals work with the government to secure the land. They run the houses and take care of the children’s basic needs, such as food and clothing. The take the necessary steps to get the children enrolled in public schools, which is possible because the children have a permanent address and legal guardian. Local Angel House staff also invest in the program and run their own fundraising campaigns to support it. Dominic says it’s a beautiful partnership between the local and international community. The Russos are thrilled to have relocated their headquarters to south Orange County. They had originally thought about moving from Detroit to Los Angeles, but with so many friends and supporters in Orange County, they were more than happy to land here instead, just less than a year ago. Their headquarters are in Dana Point, and they live in San Clemente. “We never dreamed in a million years we’d be living here,” says Dominic. Both he and Lindsay are grateful to be making San Clemente their home. They appreciate how much people in the area care about making an impact in the lives of others. “The spirit here is unique,” says Lindsay. “People think big and dream big.” From Lifestyle Publications to local supporters right here in San Clemente, vulnerable children in India are experiencing love, hope, and life to the fullest.

FIORINA: ARTICLE JULIA VITALE PHOTOGRAPHY GIA LUCIANO

WHEN YOU FIRST WALK THROUGH THE DOORS OF FIORINA, YOU

FIORINA

IMMEDIATELY FEEL AT HOME. A warm greeting awaits as you hear welcoming music, breathe in luxurious Fiamma candle scents, and most importantly, see endless eye candy almost screaming to be brought home with you. Owner Nikki Vitale and her wonderful staff have a mission: to make women feel comfortable and confident. In April 2018, Nikki Vitale opened Fiorinaâ€™s doors in San Clemente. After having 15 years of successful business in the San Gabriel Valley, the fashion boutique has expanded its mission on Avenida Del Mar. A place where girlfriends break away to have fun trying on one-of-akind pieces, Fiorina welcomes women of all shapes and sizes. Vitale and Melody Vance, store director of the San Clemente Fiorina, ensure a second-to-none experience. Their biggest goal is to establish an atmosphere that will create long-lasting relationships and build self-confidence. This goal began when Vitale felt there was no place in the San Gabriel Valley where one could find the perfect clothing piece and have premium customer service. Taking the matter into her own hands, Vitale opened Fiorina as an answer to this void she saw.

A WOMAN'S DESTINATION 20

San Clemente Lifestyle | September 2018

Ever since the San Gabriel Valley location opened, Vitale has worked endlessly to build confidence in her clients by being open, honest and sincere in her work. Feeling a need to expand her goal beyond her first location, she felt San Clemente was the perfect spot to continue her work. In reference to her mission at Fiorina, Vitale says, “We’re all about building relationships.” With smiles on everyone’s faces as they walk into the fashion boutique, the determined staff make everyone feel welcome, even having a water bowl for pets feeling a little quenched. Not only does Fiorina build confidence and relationships with its clients, but with those whose items they’re selling as well. Fiorina carries inventory from local artisans seeking a platform for their creations. These little treasures are scattered throughout the store, from Fiamma’s all-natural soy candles to unique, hand-made Screaming Peacock jewelry. In addition to collaborating with local artisans, Fiorina supports clothing brands made in the USA. Some of these brands found on Fiorina’s clothing racks are Michael Stars, Three Dots, Hudson, and AG Jeans. Knowing where these beautiful pieces were made only further enhances the shopper’s experience, making them feel good about what they put in their shopping bag. Fiorina also carries quality brands made internationally. The shop's collection includes leather bags from Venture Leather: a sustainable company that brings stunning leather bags all the way from the hands of those in Uganda and India. From the moment women step into Fiorina until they walk outside and back onto Avenida Del Mar, they feel confident knowing they did not only do good for their themselves but for the artisans and companies they are supporting as well. Vitale has created a dynamic, layered experience of helping women feel empowered about where they choose to shop. Even if girlfriends simply want to catch up with one another and sip on coffee, Fiorina is the perfect place. With a small back lounge, cozy chairs, and beverages always available, Fiorina is an open environment that celebrates women and provides a place for them to do so. Vitale, Vance and Fiorina’s staff want to inspire women to build their relationships with one another and with themselves. If you find yourself strolling on Avenida Del Mar after a beach trip, good meal, or window shopping, stop by Fiorina and start your journey of doing good and feeling even better than before you walked into Fiorina’s doors.

VENTURE LEATHER BRINGING QUALITY LEATHER PRODUCTS TO THE HEART OF SAN CLEMENTE

AW F O R

INTERNATIONAL ENTREPRENEUR NIKKI VITALE OF FIORINA STARTED HER PARTNERSHIP WITH JAMES CRAWFORD OF VENTURE LEATHER SHORTLY AFTER OPENING THE SHOP ON AVENIDA DEL MAR. After years of learning, traveling and experimenting with leather, Crawford has figured out how to make unique leather bags well, and deliver them to you right here at home. After studying business and economics in undergrad at Azusa Pacific, completing a microfinance internship in Peru, and then studying international affairs in graduate school at UCSD, Crawford set out to discover how to truly help those in poverty. Over the years, he felt there was an oversight in international development. Many were focusing on policy rather than job creation. He decided to travel in East Africa, where he had connections, to further his learning. He took a job with 31 Bits – a paper-beading company based out of Costa Mesa with operations in Uganda. Crawford is grateful for his time with the company and all he learned, but says it propelled him to start something of his own.

PARTING THOUGHTS

GETTING INTO YOUR SKIN

NANO EMULSIFIED HEMP OIL ARTICLE DORIAN KNAPP

WHY IS OUR CREAM TRANSDERMAL AND NOT TOPICAL? Our transdermal hemp oil cream penetrates the lipid barrier of your skin in order to reach the pain receptors in your body. This makes our cream more absorbable and effective in comparison to topical creams which cannot successfully pass through the outer layer of your skin. We use Nano technology to break down the crystal isolate form of CBD into millions of particles in order to create our transdermal emulsified hemp oil. We add traditional Chinese herbs, menthol, and arnica in order to increase circulation and provide a cooling effect whilst reducing bruising and inflammation. Our cream contains 112mg of Nano emulsified hemp oil which is equivalent to 1120 mg of standard hemp oil. Therefore, it effectively reduces localized pain, inflammation and skin irritations. The best news is anyone can use it because there is NO THC in our cream and we have certificates of analysis to prove it. Our face cream contains 56 mg of organic fruit-based Nano emulsified hemp oil (CBD). CBD contains both antioxidants and neuroprotective properties. In fact, it is more powerful than both Vitamin C and Vitamin E. Therefore, it has been shown to slow the aging process by inhibiting oxidation stress at the cellular level. It has also been used for diminishing fine lines and wrinkles, brightening skin, and restoring moisture and suppleness. Once again, anyone can use our cream because it has NO THC!

“IT HAS ALSO BEEN USED FOR DIMINISHING FINE LINES AND WRINKLES, BRIGHTENING SKIN, AND RESTORING MOISTURE AND SUPPLENESS.” Our products can be purchased at Piazza Wellness in Dana Point and OC Cryocare in Laguna Woods.
