Celebrating Community

February invites us to talk about love. To me, love is less about romance and more about intention. It’s an experience we choose to create every day through where we live, who we support, and how we show up.

This month is especially meaningful for me as it marks 13 years since I moved to the United States. I’m originally from Brazil, and my path in the U.S. has taken me to places like Newport Beach, Scottsdale, and Chicago. But Las Vegas has captured my heart in a way no other place has, and after eight years of living here I continue to choose it every single day.

What I love about our community is the richness of its people and businesses. The Southwest is filled with entrepreneurs, visionaries, family-owned companies, and professionals who genuinely care about our community. I see it every day as I’m out meeting with business owners, nonprofits, and leaders who are building something meaningful right here.

I never take for granted the mountains that ground us or the sunshine that fuels us most days of the year. And when the skies turn cloudy? I welcome that too; it’s a reminder to slow down and appreciate contrast. Even the heat of summer has its own beauty, especially when you come from the tropics like I do.

This Love Local issue is an invitation to support the places that give this community its heartbeat, to celebrate connection, and to remember that love lives in the everyday choices we make.

Thank you for being part of this incredible Southwest community.

Warmly,

THE ART OF LOVING YOURSELF

ARTICLE BY SIENNA SINCLAIR

REDISCOVER THE BEAUTY OF SELF-CONNECTION THROUGH DAILY RITUALS, MINDFUL LIVING, AND THE QUIET ELEGANCE OF SELF-ACCEPTANCE

There’s a certain power that comes with truly loving yourself—a graceful, unshakable confidence that radiates from within. In a world that often measures worth by productivity, comparison, and perfection, self-love is both an act of rebellion and a return to balance. It’s not indulgence; it’s inner luxury.

NOURISH YOUR MIND AND BODY

The foundation of self-love begins with nourishment, not just in the food you eat, but in every choice

that supports your well-being. Choose meals that energize rather than deplete. Move your body in ways that bring joy rather than obligation, whether through a morning yoga flow, a coastal walk at sunrise, or the rhythmic strength of Pilates. And just as you wouldn’t skip an important appointment, honor time for rest. Deep, restorative sleep is one of the most elegant forms of self-respect.

CULTIVATE MENTAL STILLNESS

The mind thrives on quiet moments. Schedule time to unplug— to sit with your thoughts rather than scroll through them. Meditation, journaling, or simply sipping tea without distraction

can realign your inner compass. Mindfulness transforms the ordinary into gold; suddenly, a shower becomes a cleansing ritual, a commute becomes a space for gratitude, and a busy week feels less like chaos and more like choreography.

SURROUND YOURSELF WITH BEAUTY

Luxury is not reserved for the grand or gilded. It’s found in simplicity: in a vase of fresh flowers, the scent of a favorite candle, or the texture of a cashmere throw. Designing a personal sanctuary, even in small ways, allows you to breathe and recharge. Curate your environment to reflect who you are becoming, not just who you’ve been.

“SELF-LOVE IS BOT

SPEAK KINDLY TO YOURSELF

Perhaps the greatest act of self-love is the language you use within. Replace criticism with curiosity. When setbacks arise, ask, “What is this teaching me?” rather than “What’s wrong with me?” The shift may be subtle, but its effect is profound. You begin to find peace where pressure once lived.

CELEBRATE YOUR WHOLENESS

Self-love doesn’t demand perfection; it invites authenticity. It’s waking up each morning and choosing to honor yourself, your spirit, your flaws, and the journey in between. Because the greatest love of all is not found out there; it is the quiet realization that you were already deserving of it all along. CONTINUED

FEARLESSLY STEPPING INTO

the spotlight

For years, Las Vegas readers have seen the world through Casey Jade’s eyes, creating portraits of Valley residents that feel like they are finally exhaling. But ask her what she really does now, and the answer reaches far beyond the camera.

She has evolved her business into Highest Self Studios, which she describes as “a transformational photography and coaching studio for high-achieving women who are ready to be seen more fully, confidently, and authentically.”

Photography is still part of the work, but the intention behind it has deepened. “I offer intentional portrait experiences, personal branding photography, boudoir-inspired sessions, and integrated coaching containers that blend mindset work, nervous system regulation, and other proven personal development tools I’ve gathered along the way,” she said. “The work goes far beyond photos, it’s about helping women reconnect to themselves, reclaim their voice, and embody who they are becoming.”

Long before anyone steps in front of the lens, Casey is already creating change. “The most important part is what happens before the shoot,” she said. “I love to say, ‘It’s not the photographer or the edits you don’t like; it’s something you see in yourself.’” That belief is what led her to integrate coaching into her process. “By starting with my visibility and confidence coaching, we get down to who they see themselves as versus who they want to be seen as and bridge that gap.”

When session day arrives, the energy in the room is intentional and unhurried. “When it comes to the actual shoot, I don’t start with posing, I start with safety,” she said. “Most women come into a session carrying years of self-criticism, comparison, and pressure to ‘get it right.’ My approach is relational and intentional.”

Rather than directing from behind the camera, Casey focuses on presence. “I slow the process down, help clients regulate their nervous system, and create an environment where they don’t have to perform or impress. We talk. We breathe. We laugh.”

“I guide rather than direct, and I’m watching for the moments when someone drops their guard: when their shoulders soften, their breath deepens, and they stop trying to be what they think they should be. That’s when the real images happen,” she said. The resulting portraits aren’t about perfection; they capture the moment a woman allows herself to be seen.

That transformation often begins with nerves. “When a woman books, she’s often excited but terrified, worried about how she’ll look, whether she’s ‘ready,’ or if she’ll be exposed,” Casey said. “My 14 years of experience in the field coupled with my grounded coaching practices enable my clients to create huge shifts in their identities and what they see as possible in their lives.”

By the time clients receive their final images, something subtle but powerful settles in. “Something clicks. She recognizes herself in a way she hasn’t before: unfiltered, unpolished, yet powerful, grounded, and real.”

Those images often ripple outward. “Many women tell me the coaching and photos change how they show up in their relationships, their business, and even how they speak to themselves,” she said. “The images become evidence of who they already are, not who they’re trying to become.”

And the work doesn’t require a camera. “No matter if they book me to photograph them or they choose to work with someone else, my coaching supports them in shifting how they see themselves and how they walk into any future shoot.”

Casey’s work resonates deeply with recovering people-pleasers and women stuck in codependent patterns, a focus shaped by her own lived experience. “For most of my life, I was praised for being easy, accommodating, and selfless, but underneath that was fear of disappointing people and losing connection,” she said. “I learned early how to read the room, adjust, and over give. It looked like success on the outside, but it came with burnout, resentment, and a quiet disconnection from myself.”

Her healing became the foundation for her work. “My own healing required learning how to set boundaries, tolerate discomfort, and choose myself without guilt,” Casey said. “That journey changed everything and it’s why I’m so passionate about supporting women who are high functioning on the surface, but exhausted underneath.”

Today, she describes her role with clarity and care. “I help women remember who they are underneath the roles, expectations, and coping patterns they’ve built to survive,” she said. “Photography is the doorway, but the work is about identity, embodiment, and self-trust.”

Every experience is designed with that intention in mind. “I create experiences where women feel safe enough to be honest, seen enough to soften, and supported enough to step into alignment with their truth.”

Looking ahead, Casey sees Highest Self Studios as something living and evolving. “I see Highest Self Studios becoming a sanctuary, both physically and energetically, for women who are ready for real transformation,” she said. “Beyond photography and visibility coaching, I am expanding into deeper coaching containers, collaborations, retreats, and community experiences that support long-term integration, not just a single moment.”

Her hope is not a fleeting confidence boost, but something that lasts. “My hope is that women leave this work not just feeling confident but also anchored. More clear in who they are, more trusting of themselves, and more willing to abandon their needs for approval.”

“I help women remember who they are underneath the roles, expectations, and coping patterns they’ve built to survive.”

Many of the women who seek her out are quietly holding an invisible weight. “Perfectionism, self-doubt, and the fear of being truly seen,” she said. They are navigating imposter syndrome and emotional exhaustion, feeling valued more for what they provide than who they are. They’ve mastered productivity but lost touch with pleasure, rest, and intuition. Often, what they need isn’t more motivation, but permission to slow down, soften, and reconnect with themselves.

If there is one message Casey hopes resonates, it’s this: transformation doesn’t have to be loud. “Transformation doesn’t always look dramatic,” she said. “Sometimes it looks like a woman finally exhaling, seeing herself with compassion, and realizing she doesn’t need to become someone else to be worthy. She just needs to come home to herself and it’s an honor to hold space for that moment.”

THE MOST POWERFUL RELATIONSHIP YOU’LL EVER HAVE IS WITH YOUR

ARTICLE BY JENNIFER FLORENDO | PHOTOGRAPHY BY ALLOY PERSONAL TRAINING

BODY

WITH YOU IT STARTS

February may be known as the month of romance, but Brittany Domstrand believes the most powerful love story begins long before flowers or chocolates ever enter the picture. It starts with how we treat our own bodies.

“The sexiest relationship you’ll ever have is with your own body,” says Brittany, owner of Alloy Personal Training (alloypersonaltraining.com) on South Rainbow Boulevard in

Las Vegas. “Loving your body doesn’t mean quick fixes or crash diets. It means respecting it enough to take care of it, day after day.”

That philosophy is deeply personal for Brittany, who grew up in the Pacific Northwest, where holistic wellness is a way of life rather than a passing trend. Balance, sustainability, and listening to your body were ingrained early on. Living in Las Vegas, however, revealed a different reality, one defined by speed, spectacle, and instant gratification.

“But fast solutions don’t last,” she says.

That belief is the foundation of Alloy Personal Training, which Brittany describes as a deliberate pause in a city that rarely slows down. Instead of chasing trends or promising dramatic transformations in record time, Alloy focuses on long-term strength, confidence, and self-care without gimmicks or pressure to fit a stereotype.

Alloy’s training model is highly customized, built around each client’s lifestyle, goals, and needs. “Investing in your body’s long-term health is far more impactful than any short-term solution,” Brittany explains. “Creating routines and habits that last is what we do best.”

While many gyms cater to younger, high-intensity fitness enthusiasts, Alloy Personal Training intentionally serves adults ages 35 to 65 and beyond—people who want to feel strong, capable, and pain-free in their everyday lives. Every workout is personalized, allowing clients to move at a pace that feels both challenging and supportive.

What truly sets Alloy apart, though, is its emphasis on community.

“Training alongside others builds motivation, accountability, and a real sense of belonging,” Brittany says. “You’re not suffering through squats alone. There’s energy, encouragement, and connection.”

That shared experience helps shift how people view their bodies. Instead of focusing on appearance, clients begin to appreciate what their bodies can do. Over time, fitness becomes less about punishment and more about nurturing strength, longevity, and confidence.

Brittany has witnessed that transformation again and again. One client joined Alloy Personal Training at age 67 simply wanting to

learn how to use dumbbells safely, and went on to complete a Spartan race at 68. Another lost nearly 80 pounds after years of prioritizing work over wellness and rediscovered his confidence and joy for life. Others found that feeling stronger inspired bigger life changes, from returning to school to finally breaking free from years of yo-yo dieting.

“These stories aren’t about perfection,” Brittany says. “They’re about people learning to trust their bodies and believe in themselves.”

Accountability plays a major role in that journey. At Alloy, it’s not about guilt, it’s about support. Coaches are genuinely excited to see clients walk through the door, and fellow members celebrate effort as much as progress. That environment makes consistency easier and helps people replace self-criticism with care.

Strength training, Brittany adds, is one of the most powerful tools for building confidence. “When you focus on getting stronger—not smaller—you start noticing what your body can do,” she says. “That builds real, grounded confidence.”

For those unsure where to begin, her advice is refreshingly simple: start with a walk outdoors. Take time to reconnect with yourself. From there, carve out 30 minutes a day for intentional self-care, whether that’s reading, gardening, listening to music, or eventually stepping into the gym. “We’ll handle the hard part,” she says. “You just need to show up.”

As a South Las Vegas business, Alloy Personal Training is deeply rooted in the local community. Brittany sees fitness as another way to support the people who keep the city running: teachers, nurses, service workers, parents, and professionals alike.

“In a city that moves fast, having a space to slow down and feel supported is powerful,” she says.

As February approaches, Brittany hopes locals will redefine what love looks like. Loving your body isn’t about perfection—it’s about listening, moving, fueling, and appreciating it.

“That kind of self-respect spills into every part of your life,” she says. “And it lasts far longer than flowers or chocolates.”

LOVE CHOCOLATE? LOVE WINE? GET TIPS ON PAIRING THE TWO FOR VALENTINE’S DAY OR ANY SWEET DAY OF THE YEAR!

ARTICLE BY EVE BUSHMAN PHOTOGRAPHY BY RACHITA DHAKAL

What happens when a winemaker and a chocolatier come together—and invite their teams to share expertise? The result is a thoughtfully crafted pairing, designed with intention from first sip to final bite. Welcome to a unique styling headed by local winemaker Steven Bowen for Charleston Peak Winery and local chocolatier Jean-Marie Auboine.

“We were inspired after seeing wine and chocolate pairing experiences in New Jersey,” said General Manager Jennifer Sela Bowen. “We tried theirs first, then searched for a local chocolatier and were thrilled to find Jean-Marie, who offers 40 to 50 flavors. We tasted so many. The process was enjoyable and a great experience for both our team—cellar, restaurant and tasting room staff—and Jean-Marie’s team.”

“Our vineyard is about 45 minutes away from Las Vegas, and we also manage another in Northern Nevada,” Jennifer continued. “We moved here from Napa and brought our passion with us. Visitors are really enjoying the pairing, and beyond the tasting options, we also offer additional chocolates for sale along with a pairing guide.”

This Valentine’s Day, or any day you choose to celebrate with a loved one, take a scenic drive through mountain vistas, with snow often crowning Charleston Peak, before arriving at the expansive and welcoming Charleston Peak Winery. Here is what they have to offer in the pairing, and more:

Winery team members note that the dark chocolate selections are a favorite, as they work well for dairy-restricted diets. All chocolates are handmade and hand-painted. For those who want more, there are four more chocolates to explore, and with the help of winery staff, more pairings. For those that prefer a bite before the sweets know that the owners of Charleston Peak Winery also own Amari Italian Kitchen so there is a special curated menu of dishes to go with wines by the glass or flight. Overall, the wine tasting menu includes two sparkling wines, five whites, two rosé, four reds, wine cocktails, and mocktails.

FAMILY-BORN TACOS, LOCAL FAVORITE

ANAYA FAMILY BRINGS BELOVED RECIPES TO LAS VEGAS

ARTICLE BY BIANCA ORELLANA

PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF AUTHENTIC PUBLIC RELATIONS

The best neighborhood spots are the ones that feel like a friend’s kitchen: warm, a little noisy, and always full of good food and stories. That is the kind of energy Javi Anaya and his family brought with them when they expanded Pinches Tacos from California to Las Vegas. What started as a single Los Angeles location built on family recipes has become a go-to taco stop for locals looking for comfort, flavor, and a sense of connection.

The Anaya story stretches back generations. Family folklore says Javi’s great-uncles cooked for the legendary Pancho Villa, answering his hungry call of

“Pinche, bring me some tacos!” That playful nickname for a cook, passed down over time, eventually inspired the name Pinches Tacos. It is a reminder that while the atmosphere is fun and relaxed, the roots run deep and the food is a direct extension of the family’s history, humor, and pride. Guests feel that mix of heritage and personality from the moment they see the name on the sign to the last bite on the plate.

In 2007, Javi and his brothers, now local Las Vegans themselves, opened the first Pinches Tacos in Los Angeles with a clear mission: to serve the best taco experience they could by keeping things simple and intentional. Their father, Miguel, set the standard by hand-picking ingredients every morning, ensuring high-quality meats and seafood, fresh vegetables, handmade corn tortillas, and artisan breads. That daily commitment to quality became the heartbeat of the brand and still shapes how each location operates, no matter the city or neighborhood. The family believes that when ingredients are treated with care and respect, the food naturally tells its own story, and that philosophy comes through in every taco, torta, and plate they serve.

When the family brought Pinches Tacos to Las Vegas, they carried that same rhythm and sense of responsibility with them. For locals, that means the tacos they enjoy before a game, between shifts, or on a casual night out are grounded in the same family traditions that built the original California

locations. Guests might not see Miguel at the market or Javi checking the line, but they feel the result in every bite and every visit, whether they are regulars or first-timers. Over the years, Pinches Tacos has become the kind of place people recommend to visiting friends when they want to share “their” spot, the one that feels personal and reliably good. Today, Pinches Tacos fits easily into the rhythm of Las Vegas life. It is the spot where families gather after activities, hospitality workers grab a meal, and friends meet when they want food that feels familiar and genuine. The menu reflects the flavors the Anayas grew up with, while the atmosphere welcomes everyone. Even as the brand has grown across states, the Anaya family has held on to what matters most: honoring their culture, staying true to their recipes, and creating a space where guests feel like part of the family. For them, Pinches Tacos is not just a business; it is a way to share their story and invite Las Vegas to be part of it.

Date Night

AT HOME

THREE CREATIVE IDEAS TO CELEBRATE LOVE

ARTICLE BY BAILEY HALL

Not every date night needs to involve reservations or an elaborate itinerary. With a little creativity, you can create magical moments right at home. Whether you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day or just want to reconnect, here are three ideas for unforgettable at-home date nights.

Transform your backyard or balcony into a dreamy picnic spot! Spread out a cozy blanket, add a few fluffy pillows, and hang string lights or fairy lights for ambiance. A small fire pit or lanterns can also add a romantic glow.

Pack a picnic basket with finger foods and a bottle of wine or sparkling water. Don’t forget a decadent dessert like chocolate-dipped strawberries.

Lay back and stargaze, identifying constellations or making wishes on shooting stars. To make it extra romantic, bring a bluetooth speaker and play soft music.

Unleash your inner artists with one of these three fun and interactive dates. Grab some inexpensive canvases, brushes, and acrylic paints from the craft store. Don’t forget aprons or old clothes to protect against spills!

• Paint each other’s portraits for a mix of laughter and creativity.

• Work on a collaborative paintingeach person adds their own touch to a single canvas.

• Try a themed painting challenge, like recreating your favorite memory together.      Pair this date with a cheese platter and wine and don’t worry about being “good’ at painting - it’s all about enjoying the process together.

Start the day with love by turning breakfast into an indulgent experience. Prepare a tray with a DIY breakfast charcuterie board. Include mini pancakes, waffles, fresh fruit, yogurt, granola, bacon, and pastries. Add small bowls of toppings like syrup, Nutella, or whipped cream.

Mix up mimosas or serve coffee with flavored syrups and whipped cream for a café vibe. Then, snuggle up in bed and watch a favorite movie or TV series.
