IT’S TIME TO SERVE

‘WINTER LUXE’

by Vickie Austin

ith winter comes an opportunity to entertain in a whole new way. No more outdoor garden parties, perhaps, but there are other ways to bring family and friends together without suffering from the cold of the season. WHEN GATHERINGS BECOME SOIRÉES There’s nothing wrong with having informal gatherings, a pizza party here and there, but we’re talking about “winter luxe” so a soirée may be called for. Sounds fancy, but what does that really mean?

F E AT U R E

The concept comes from the French word “soir,” which means “evening.” This isn’t just any party: it’s an evening party, and the word implies a certain formality, an opportunity to entertain with a dressed-up feeling. Often there is a special guest of honor, or sometimes a topic that will be discussed, but that isn’t always the case. This isn’t a beer bash, however; the evening is elevated with special beverages, the appropriate crystal and hors d’oeuvres that fit the elegance of the gathering. If you’re planning a soirée, keep your guest list small and intimate. Give some thought to those who might want to know someone else in another one of your circles. Think of their interests and comfort when arranging the room: move chairs close together or create small niches that invite people to mix and mingle. Unless you are featuring a favorite musician (which is perfect for a soirée), keep the music low and melodious.

Northern A Z Luxur y L iving VOL. 5, NO. 6

Classical music always is a favorite and it reflects that high-brow effect. EXPANDING YOUR GUEST LIST Maybe a soirée appeals to you less than a big gathering of everyone you know and love, and while you want to keep the elegance of the event, you also want to expand your guest list as more of a gala. You can give your holiday party glamour with more guests, food and a larger footprint, whether that’s a farmhouse plank table or a formal dining table with all its leaves. Think “state dinner!” You can choose any time, not just evening, to show your guests a wonderful time. Evenings are ideal if you want to emphasize indoor lighting from candles and strategically positioned lamps or chandeliers. Borrow from Downton Abbey and drench your table in fresh flowers, flickering candles and elegant tableware. Let the silverware sparkle.

Or perhaps you prefer a buffetstyle dinner? Roll out the good linen and set up stations for your menu items — appetizers can kick off the evening followed by the main course and then dessert. To add a touch of elegance, break out the highball or sherry glasses and have special after-dinner drinks that wouldn’t normally be served at a regular old dinner party. Show off your grandmother’s crystal and leave your guests with a feeling of having been served.

THE ULTIMATE WINTER LUXURY?

A WARM HOME… AND A DOG TO SHARE IT WITH.

Après-skiing A OFFERS EXTRAVAGANCE OFF THE SNOW

ski vacation seems idyllic for those who have the skills, the required equipment and the budget. Between traveling to and from a ski resort (or maybe you own a chateau close by?), the cost of proper outerwear, the skis and other accoutrements of the sport, not to mention lift tickets, that vacation can add up to some big bucks. Let’s dispense with concern for the bottom line and talk about where the ski elite meet, titans of industry, entrepreneurs, investors, movie moguls and Hollywood stars among them. Top destinations include Aspen, of course, the crown jewel of the USA, as well as top resorts in Switzerland and France like St. Moritz and Courchevel. But it isn’t just the ski runs that attract the affluent.

AFTER-SKI FUN Après-ski is the term for all the fun a person can have after getting off the slopes. Originating in the 1950s in France, the phrase encompasses the food, drinks and socializing that happen after a good day of skiing. The culture includes all the extravagances that can transpire when royalty and 1 percenters get together, gathering at their favorite ski lodges, bars and restaurants. In Aspen, that may mean a trip to Ajax Tavern, known for its truffle fries and people-watching. Mountain Social Bar & Lounge is inside the beautiful St. Regis Aspen Resort, offering a higher end vibe with sophisticated cocktails and an elegant

ambiance. The Sundeck is at the top of Aspen Mountain, offering a breathtaking view of Aspen from its perch. If you’ve opted for a place like Courchevel in Franch, don’t miss Le Tremplin, an upscale destination for aprèsski. This restaurant is for the fashionistas who enjoy live music. Le 1946 at Cheval Blanc is a three-Michelin-starred restaurant with only five tables, offering an exclusive experience with haute French cuisine. WHAT TO WEAR Make no mistake — just because skiing is a workout doesn’t mean you don’t dress up. You’ll see all the usual suspects, Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Chanel and Gucci, on and off the slopes. The luxury winter and ski wear market blends style with practicality for fashionable outerwear and accessories. You may also discover new brands in Moncler, Bogner and Goldbergh, all high-end brands that specialize in ski gear for the rich and famous. Where you are matters as much as what you wear. Feel free to keep your elegant ski wear on when you’re dining at the outdoor patios of posh ski resorts. Luxury knits, cashmere anything and swanky ski suits are de rigueur (required by etiquette or fashion) at the restaurants and resorts favored by the elite. Make sure you bring along some clothes that are more than casual. Many of the restaurants require dinner attire, collared shirts, jackets or sport coats and appropriate footwear.

Are you Really THINKING OF YOUR

HOSTESS?

by Vickie Austin

y mother taught me the importance of using coasters, how to write a thankyou note and “never go to someone’s house for dinner empty-handed.” This means I would stop by and grab a bottle of wine en route to a dinner party. However, according to Southern Living magazine, being polite doesn’t always sit well with a hostess. In an article by Betsy Cribb Watson, the rules of etiquette don’t always extend to a gift of a bottle of wine. We can sometimes step on toes by doing what our mothers taught us. Here are a few examples of when you might want to re-think your contributions as a guest. • Do NOT arrive early. Most of the time, hosts use every spare minute to get the house ready for your arrival. You may arrive before the fireplace is lit, the appetizers are laid out or the music is pumping. Being late isn’t proper, either, but if you come too early, you risk upsetting the timing of the event. • Save the unsolicited side dish. Especially in this day of gluten-free, lactose-free, vegan or vegetarian options, the menu is carefully

Northern A Z Luxur y L iving VOL. 5, NO. 6

selected with respect to guests’ preferences. As much as you think your green bean casserole is to die for, leave it at home. When it comes to bringing a bottle of wine, feel free to do so but don’t expect it to be served at the meal. Hosts may have carefully paired the wine with the menu. Assume whatever you bring, whether it’s a bottle of wine or a 12-year-old Scotch, will be consumed privately. • We’ve all heard about there being “too many cooks in the kitchen.” When the main chef is balancing the timing of appetizers, meat and side dishes, not to mention dessert, now is not the time to get in his or her way. My brother-in-law Pat has cooked the turkey for many consecutive years, and we all know better than to enter the kitchen when he’s making our Thanksgiving meal. Look for cues from the host before offering anything but praise for a fabulous meal and a delightful evening. As my mom always said, thank them for the experience and not the pork chop.

Priceless Experiences > Expensive Objects as Gifts

he perennial question that comes up this time of year — what do you get the person who has everything? — can apply to almost everyone. Almost all of us, especially the wellto-do, already have too many things and belongings crowding our homes, garages and storage lockers. We may look to the holiday gifting season with a tinge of dread over having to find room for even more things. In most cases, the opportunity to have a thrilling, unforgettable experience will be better received than another sweater or toy or shampooand-conditioner set. These experiences don’t gather dust or require storage. They live on as memories. And in a season often overwhelmed by “stuff,” that kind of luxury is priceless. Check out these ideas. A HIGH-FASHION CONSULTATION For the style devotee who has everything in their closet yet always craves more, a personal fashion consultation offers an entirely different kind of luxury. In New York, Paris or Milan, clients can book sessions with stylists who have direct relationships with leading fashion houses. Imagine walking through the doors of Dior’s Avenue Montaigne flagship and being greeted by an expert who curates a wardrobe tailored specifically to your lifestyle and personality. Some services even include access to private ateliers, where bespoke pieces can be commissioned. The result isn’t just another handbag or pair of shoes. It’s the experience of being styled like a runway star, with

insider knowledge and a confidence boost that lasts long after the appointment. A LUXURY CRUISE EXPERIENCE For those who value both relaxation and discovery, gifting a luxury cruise can be transformative. Unlike the typical megaship, lines such as Regent Seven Seas or Seabourn offer intimate vessels with all-suite accommodations, personalized service and curated excursions. Picture your recipient sipping Champagne on their private balcony as the ship sails past the fjords of Norway or docking in Santorini to explore cobblestone villages with a private guide. Every detail is handled — from Michelin-level dining onboard to tailored shore experiences. A PRIVATE CHEF DINNER For the gourmand, nothing compares to a restaurant-quality meal served in the comfort of home. Booking a private chef transforms the familiar into the unforgettable. Services like Table at Home in the United States or bespoke chef experiences through Luxury Attaché connect clients with top-tier culinary talent. Imagine a James Beard–nominated chef preparing a multicourse tasting menu in your recipient’s kitchen, paired with rare wines and presented with the kind of artistry normally reserved for Michelin-starred dining rooms. Beyond the exquisite food, the intimacy of the evening — stories shared with the chef, the laughter around the table — becomes the true gift. VOL. 5, NO. 6 Northern A Z Luxur y L iving

C heers to the

HOLIDAYS!

aybe it’s the result of watching too many episodes of Mad Men, where a swizzle stick in a cocktail looks so enticing, or perhaps it’s those black-and-white movies where drinks come out like clockwork at 6 p.m. Whatever the reason, we’re glad cocktails have made it back, big, and at no time is the tradition more welcome than during the holidays. ELIXIR OF THE GODS Nothing quite hits the spot during cold weather like a hot toddy. This classic drink is served during winter months with whiskey or any brown liquor, honey and lemon juice in hot water. A cinnamon stick and slice of lemon can be added as garnish. A hot toddy isn’t just for when you’re coming down with a cold: it’s an all-purpose drink to get you through until New Year’s. Just the thought of hot buttered rum can make one’s mouth water. A drink that indulges the taste buds with butter, sugar and spice, this drink will warm the cockles of your heart. Rum is also good in spiked apple cider, a blend of apple cider with cinnamon, clove and orange slices. You can substitute bourbon for rum and throw in some raisins to plump up in the pot.

Northern A Z Luxur y L iving VOL. 5, NO. 6

SWEETS FOR THE SWEET Eggnog, that good old-fashioned standby, is still one of the most popular holiday drinks, spiked with bourbon, rum or brandy. A martini can take on any form, but those with a penchant for sweet opt for the peppermint mocha or gingerbread martini. Have you ever tried a coquito? This drink hails from Puerto Rico, combining rum with cream of coconut and sweetened condensed milk. Then there’s always the White Russian, a blend of vodka, coffee liqueur and heavy cream that is often seen as an after-dinner drink. PRESENTING WITH A FLOURISH For added drama, consider adding rosemary or mint to your ice cubes and perhaps upgrade to ice balls. Crush some peppermint candy canes and dip the rim of your glasses into it with honey or icing to help the candy pieces hold. Garnishes of lime and cranberry give that festive, it’s-beginning-to-look-alot-like-Christmas feel to any drink.

SNOWMOBILING

Offers Stunning Winter

by Blake Herzog

nowmobiles open up the true winter wonderlands to you. Fresh, untamed snow as far as any eye can see. Gleaming lakes and streams iced over with glass-like covers. Trees blanketed with pure white powder. If you’re lucky, the Northern (or Southern) Lights streak above you. But not even this landscape is enough to contain the combustion of power and adrenaline that comes from shooting across the icy plains on your sled, soaring into the air off of snowdrifts and hitting the brakes to investigate an icicle-festooned cave or just absorb the overwhelming beauty and silence that are the reward of finding your own path. DRIVING WITH FORCE Top-of-the-line snowmobiles (aka sleds) have powerful motors, flawless suspension and superior agility and handling whether you’re barreling down the trail or plowing through deep snow. The Arctic Cat Pantera (starting price $19,999) has heated seats topping a powerful engine and drivetrain with the industry’s only self-adjusting clutch. Polaris’ 650 Switchback Assault ($17,999 MSRP) is the maker’s highestend crossover model, ready to attack rides with four engine styles to choose from. Ski-Doo has two electric models in its 2026 lineup offering quiet, zero-emission recreation in the peak wintry landscapes of our nation and world. Better for shortdistance hauls, the Grand Touring Electric and Expedition Electric both have an MSRP of $17,499, and the Touring has a 10-inch digital touchscreen with built-in GPS. Yamaha, a respected snowmobile

THRILLS, CHILLS

manufacturer, is pulling out of the market but its sleds are available on its website and throughout the resale market. RIDING WITH STYLE The major snowmobiling manufacturers all have their own clothing and gear lines, including some heated components, but you may want to stick with companies that focus on apparel, not engines. Klim, Helite, Backcountry Access (BCA) and other leading firms make any kind of wearable gear imaginable, including protective avalanche airbag vests. But first, you must think about layering high quality garments underneath. Start with a base layer of long underwear and add at least one shirt or sweater and pair of pants on top, preferably from Patagonia or another respected snow outfitter. Your main outer layer can consist of a ski jacket and pants, but a one-piece snowmobiling suit engineered to swaddle you in warmth when you’re going 50 mph or faster is the gold standard for comfort and style. KICKING BACK IN COMFORT Look for the best snowmobiling destinations in the world — West Yellowstone, the French Alps, Finnish Lapland or almost anywhere in the Canadian Rockies — and you can book rooms at some of the most sumptuous winter accommodations anywhere. Even Iceland’s Trollaskagi (Troll Peninsula), a magical district of mountains and fjords, is stocked with luxurious resorts and Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost island, is an epicenter of luxury winter lodging from apartments to villas to grand hotels.

Solo Globetrotting

et’s face it — sometimes the most luxurious vacation you can take is a solo vacation. No compromising or accommodating someone else’s whims. You get to go where you want, when you want. You can spend as much time as you please at the spa or the driving range, in the forest or at the ocean. Or if there’s some crazy idea you want to try that you can’t get anyone else to buy into, you can do it on your own. There are many ways to approach traveling alone, such as going it completely alone, joining a group tour or following a curated schedule. It can be as intrepid or relaxing as you desire. Take a look at these extravagant options for your next solo journey. CLASSIC JOURNEYS CULTURAL WALKING TOURS You’ll be incorporated with other travelers as you explore primarily on foot to learn about a destination’s landmarks, wildlife and people close-up and personal.

Road Trips, Elevated: LUXURY RIDES FOR WINTER ESCAPES

orget cramped flights and crowded terminals. This season, the holiday getaway starts the moment you slide into the driver’s seat. A winter road trip in the right car isn’t just travel, it’s an experience. With the right mix of power, comfort and indulgent extras, these luxury vehicles turn long drives into a destination all their own. BENTLEY BENTAYGA EWB This extended-wheelbase SUV is tailormade for alpine retreats. With available airline-style reclining rear seats and a built-in Champagne cooler between them, the Bentayga delivers private jet comfort on wheels. Optional Mulliner custom luggage sets tuck perfectly into the trunk, while advanced all-wheel drive handles snowy roads with ease. RANGE ROVER AUTOBIOGRAPHY LWB The icon of off-road luxury, the Autobiography offers a serene cabin wrapped in leather, wood and silence. Builtin massage seats, cabin air purification and a Meridian Signature Sound System create a spa-like cocoon for the road. Add a ski rack and you’re ready for Aspen, St. Moritz or wherever the powder calls. MERCEDES-MAYBACH GLS 600 For those who like their road trips chauffeured, the GLS 600 turns the back seat into a rolling lounge. Think heated

armrests, calf massagers, folding leathertrimmed tray tables, and yes, a refrigerator for Champagne. It’s all-wheel drive, all comfort and all class. PORSCHE PANAMERA SPORT TURISMO For the driver who wants performance with their winter luxury, the Panamera wagon delivers. It hugs corners like a sports car but has space for designer duffels and ski gear. The optional Burmester 3D High-End Surround Sound System brings concert-hall clarity to your holiday playlist. CADILLAC ESCALADE IQL Anyone who wants to reduce their fuel consumption and emissions can turn to Cadillac’s three-row, all-electric SUV with the longest range of any vehicle in its category at 460 miles. Its digital display spans the dashboard, and options include an executive second row with extended legroom, dual infotainment screens and rear-heated, ventilated and massaging seats. ROLLS-ROYCE CULLINAN The ultimate in winter road trip excess, the Cullinan’s rear Viewing Suite folds out two leather chairs and a cocktail table from the tailgate — perfect for impromptu après-ski. With the smoothest ride on any terrain and bespoke detailing throughout, this is winter travel at its most indulgent.

GENTS: KEEP WARM WHILE LOOKING STYLISH

by Vickie Austin

entlemen have a variety of choices to make when choosing accessories that combat the cold. Unless their go-to outfit is jeans and a hoodie, a man can mix and match his clothing with accessories that gives him a put-together look while also keeping warm.

A TIP OF THE HAT Hats are making a comeback, and I don’t mean baseball caps turned backward. Go to a public event and you may see a wool or felt fedora on a man, setting him apart from the crowd. The classic newsboy cap gives warmth while also striking a rakish look with a bit of the Emerald Isle about it. For less formal occasions, a classic beanie works. Choose a soft merino wool blend that provides protection from the cold. Make sure the fabric or knit is in good shape — look for pilling or stray threads and fix them accordingly. You want to look like a sea-faring sailor, not a cat burglar. Mix and match colors and patterns to reflect your mood and match your outerwear.

those winter blasts but also pulls an outfit together. Here, form does more than follow function: a chunky cable-knit may be the focal point of your look when you face the outside world. As with all things, but especially with knitwear, quality matters. Choose a soft cashmere or a merino wool that will last through the ages. The longer the scarf, the more options for wrapping styles and the greater the insulation. For extreme cold you might consider a neck gaiter, a tube of fabric that wraps around your neck for ultimate warmth. Again, make sure the look is sporty rather than the bank robber variety. Neck gaiters often are the choice of athletes and hikers.

BABY, IT’S COLD OUTSIDE Wrap your neck in a quality scarf, a classic accessory that not only protects you from

gloves are often made of wool or cashmere, giving a classic look while keeping you warm. Leather gloves go along with a tailored look, completing a full-length winter coat. If you’re wearing gloves while in transit, you might want to opt for a pair that allows you to use a touch screen without taking off your gloves. And if you’re on the slopes, skiing or snowboarding, find waterproof thermal-lined gloves that will keep your hands warm and dry. BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER If clothes make the man, shoes (and boots) make the outfit. Socks need to be high quality and of different weights, depending on whether you’re wearing shoes or boots. Warmth and comfort are your top priorities when it comes to footwear. Check for balance and know you’re sending the message, “I’m a gentleman.”

In our community, too many kids miss out on experiencing the outdoors. To help close this gap, the curriculum of our local Boys & Girls Clubs has been expanded to offer opportunities for youth to be active and enjoy adventures. Clubhouses now offer a wide range of outdoor activities—including mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, and archery—all designed to build confidence, foster teamwork, and inspire a love for nature. At the same time, our Clubs remain committed to core indoor educational programs, such as homework tutoring, STEM, arts, sports, games, and more. As the capacity to serve grows, so does the need to provide. We invite you to be part of the movement to give local youth the best in learning and recreation. Please scan the QR code or visit our website to help create life-changing opportunities for local youth.

From all of us, thank you!

BEHOLD THE MAGIC OF A GREAT CUP OF COFFEE by Vickie Austin

here are two types of people in this world: those who live for coffee and those who don’t. Since I’m in the former group, I confess to a certain, um, dare we say addiction to my morning java. Just the thought of my first cup of the day sends me to bed with anticipation for the next morning. VARIATIONS ON A THEME But like all coffee addicts, I know there’s more than one way to make a truly fine cup of coffee. The main techniques to make a great cup of coffee include immersion, drip and pressure-based brewing. Each of those methods will net a different flavor and consistency, so it’s important to experiment to find out what you like. No matter the method, you want to make sure you have fresh coffee — the purists go for beans roasted within the last four weeks, and they grind the beans on the spot with a burr grinder. If you don’t want to go to this extreme, just keep your coffee cool and dry, preferably in an air-tight cannister. THE STRONG, SILENT TYPE Rich, full-bodied coffee isn’t for everyone, but if you like it strong, try the French press method. This is a full immersion technique in which the grounds are steeped in hot water, then strained by a finescreened plunger. The result is a heavy, full-bodied flavor. A Moka

pot sits on the stove like a pressure cooker, forcing water through grounds that results in a very strong, espresso-like cup of coffee. Drip coffee uses filters and provides a lighter drink. My personal favorite is the Chemex pour-over, a glass beaker straight from the chemistry lab. With a paper filter cut for the task, coffee is measured into the filter then hot water is poured through the top, resulting in bubbles as the gases escape and then settling

into an even drip. The water temperature needs to be hot but not boiling, and the whole process becomes a morning ritual that results in the best coffee ever. Not to be a coffee snob but the extra work is worth it. For most people, though, an automatic drip coffee pot will serve their needs.

Affluent Embrace GI VING BACK

DURING THE SEASON OF GENEROSITY

igh-net-worth individuals are increasingly using their resources, influence and networks to drive social impact in more strategic and visible ways. It's no longer simply about writing a check to a familiar charity. Today’s affluent philanthropists are aligning their giving with personal values, leveraging bespoke foundations, donor-advised funds and direct investments in causes they believe in. Whether it’s tackling climate change, funding medical breakthroughs or supporting the arts, their approach is intentional, tailored and high-touch. The holiday season adds a layer of urgency and opportunity. December accounts for nearly 30% of annual charitable giving, and the ultra-wealthy are well aware. Exclusive galas, silent auctions and curated donor experiences dominate social calendars, often blending high fashion with high impact. Think: a private dinner with a Nobel laureate to fund scientific research or an art auction at a coastal villa benefiting refugee education programs. These are events and statements of purpose. Family plays a central role too. Many affluent families use the holidays as a time to pass down philanthropic values to younger generations. Private family foundations host annual meetings this time of year, reviewing charitable performance and setting priorities for the coming year. Children

and grandchildren are encouraged to propose causes they care about, giving rise to a more emotionally connected, legacy-driven form of giving. There’s also a shift toward visibility. Social media has turned private giving into a public act, not for vanity but for influence. Affluent donors now understand the power of storytelling — how one post about funding clean water in Kenya can spark a ripple effect of generosity among peers. The narrative has evolved from discreet patronage to bold leadership. Luxury brands are joining the movement. From LVMH’s contribution to the restoration of Notre Dame to Cartier’s support of women entrepreneurs, philanthropy is becoming part of the brand ethos. For wealthy consumers, buying into a brand that gives back is an extension of their own values. Still, what sets luxury philanthropy apart isn’t just the size of the donations, but the intent and execution. The affluent aren’t just giving to give, they’re building legacies, shifting paradigms and driving innovation through generosity. The season of giving is their runway for impact. As the holidays approach, luxury philanthropy reminds us that wealth, when guided by purpose, can do more than fund — it can transform. And for those who live in abundance, the greatest luxury may just be the ability to give meaningfully and with style. VOL. 5, NO. 6 Northern A Z Luxur y L iving

CLIMBS Higher and Higher THAT TAKE YOU

nyone can hike a mountain to get some exercise or appreciate the view. However, you’ll need to open your wallet if you want to reach the top of the world’s most famous summits. Hiking one of these majestic peaks can mean shelling out for a guide, food, base camp and oxygen. Prices vary, but it can cost a single climber $11,000 in license fees alone to reach the top of Mount Everest. And even a low-budget expedition can cost $25,000 in total, according to MountEverest.net. If seeing the world from the top of a mountain is on your bucket list, you’ll need more than just money — you’ll need a plan. First, where will you go? Mount Everest is often the first choice. As the highest summit in the world, it’s like catnip to those seeking adventure. But Everest is just one of 14 mountains known as “8,000ers,” reaching 8,000 meters or 26,247 feet. All 14 are located in the Himalayas and Karakoram Mountain ranges, and each of the climbs requires physical preparation as well as a healthy pocketbook. LEARN FROM THE BEST As with most extreme sports, you’ll want to learn from the best before beginning your trek up the mountain.

This company offers different expeditions including combo packages, fast-track hikes and an array of summits from Everest and Kilimanjaro to the Seven Summits. Visit them at www.eliteexped.com. If you’re hankering for height, you can also visit Highland Expeditions, a company that offers packages at destinations in Nepal, India, Tibet and Bhutan. Their activities include trekking, high altitude expeditions, peak climbing in Nepal, mountaineering courses and both jungle safari and mountain biking in Nepal.

Luxury Brands EMBR ACE

SUSTAINABILITY by Valerie Demetros

ust because you have the money to buy luxury brands does not mean you are oblivious to the need for sustainability. A great percentage of high-end shoppers are beginning to question the sustainability and ethics behind their favorite labels. In the last few years, luxury brands have begun using more sustainable materials, rethinking packaging, selling or donating leftover fabrics to avoid waste and making commitments to reduce carbon footprints. They also are implementing ethical labor practices and even looking at partnering with luxury resale platforms (or reselling in-house like Gucci). LVMH, which acts as the parent company for fashion heavyweights like Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Givenchy and Celine, is receiving accolades for making major sustainability changes. According to a survey last year, 47% of the wealthiest consumers in the United States consider a brand’s social responsibility when making a purchase, and 22% have boycotted a brand for its poor ethical or sustainability values. Some of your favorite brands are making changes. Let’s look at a few: Gucci is now making 95% of its raw materials traceable, refraining from the use of animal furs and reducing its carbon footprint. Further, in June 2020, the house launched its first wholly sustainable collection labeled Gucci Off the Grid. This featured pieces made from organic cotton, recycled steel, regenerated polyamide and ECONYL, a material made from post-consumer waste including fishing nets and old carpets.

Stella McCartney has pioneered eco-friendly practices since 2001. The brand integrates sustainability into every stage of its supply chain. The signature Falabella bag is constructed of vegetarian leather. The label has implemented other sustainable materials including organic cotton, synthetic silks, upcycled faux furs and recycled polyester. Vivienne Westwood’s name continues to be an icon in the industry, and the legendary British label has stayed true to its manifesto, “buy less, choose well, make it last.” Its most recent readyto-wear collections were made from more than 90% lower-impact materials including organic cotton, ethically produced wool and recycled metals. Sheep Inc. includes its customers in the sustainability act. When you buy a sweater, you’re allocated a real-life sheep from the same New Zealand farm the wool comes from. Each sweater has a digital NFC tag on the hem and you’re sent regular updates on your sheep. All the company’s farms comply with stringent animal welfare standards. Bleusalt’s goal is to leave a minimal impact on the ocean and planet. The company, who’s styles are worn by models Kaia Gerber and Gigi Hadid, uses fabrics that embody the beauty of cashmere but are breathable, machine-washable and eco-friendly. Each piece is vegan, cruelty-free and antimicrobial (kills microorganisms).

RETURNS FOR WINTER LEISURE

s winter settles in and the world slows down, a new kind of sanctuary is taking shape in the homes of discerning consumers, particularly men: the analog audio room. Not just a nod to nostalgia, it’s a celebration of craftsmanship, intimacy and sound with soul. In an age of digital convenience, the return of analog audio speaks to something deeper — an appreciation for presence over playlist. Vinyl records, once relegated to attic boxes, are now carefully curated collectibles. Turntables have transformed from relics into centerpieces, built with the precision of fine watches. Such brands as Clearaudio and Rega craft their platters from aerospacegrade alloys, suspending sound in a perfect balance of form and function. Paired with them are tube amplifiers, glowing softly like hearth fires. Unlike their solid-state counterparts, tube amps don’t just play music, they breathe life into it. Their warm, rich tones bring out the texture in jazz, the grit in blues, the raw emotion in soul. Each one is a sculptural work of engineering, often hand-assembled, with brushed aluminum casings and exposed vacuum tubes that hum with analog authenticity.

Northern A Z Luxur y L iving VOL. 5, NO. 6

Speakers, too, have evolved from utility to artistry. Leather-wrapped cabinets, walnut veneers and minimalist metal grilles turn audio components into furniture worthy of their own spotlight. Brands like Sonus Faber and Klipsch sell quality sound and deliver an aesthetic experience, tailored for rooms where design matters as much as decibels. The gentleman’s audio sanctuary is not a man cave — it’s a temple. A place for curated listening, a glass of aged whiskey in hand, perhaps snow falling softly outside. It’s where the world’s noise is replaced by Miles Davis, Bowie or Bach. Where silence and sound exist in perfect counterpoint. This winter, listening to analog is more of a ritual than a hobby. One that values patience, presence and the physical act of listening. In a culture of constant streaming, the true luxury lies in slowing down, dropping the needle and letting the room fill with sound that’s both substance and soul. For modern refined listeners, it’s music. And it’s meaning.

Wines add Sparkle THESE

TO YOUR HOLIDAYS by Vickie Austin

ith the holidays upon us, it’s time to take a peek into our wine cellars to see what we have, and what we’ll need, for our upcoming feasts. Even if you don’t have a wine cellar per se, create a list of what you want to have available when family and friends come to celebrate. THANKS FOR THANKSGIVING Most choices recommended by the experts reflect the spirit of the holiday — and the menu of the host/hostess. Turkey is the go-to meal for most Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving celebrations, although vegan and vegetarian options may reign at your table. Whatever the protein, this autumn meal may feature roasted dishes and winter veggies like squash and brussels sprouts. According to Madeline Puckette from WineFolly.com, a good pinot noir is a great match for lighter proteins like turkey or chicken. Those not on a budget can’t go wrong with Châteauneuf-duPape, which means The Pope’s New Castle, a wine from the Rhône Valley in France. If you want to go all out, choose amarone, which comes from the land of Romeo and Juliet, Verona. Amarone has twice as many grapes as normal wine, a 45+ day fermentation and long-term aging at the winery. DECK THE HALLS Whatever the main meal at Christmas, whether it’s ham, turkey or beef, those winter veggies are going to come back and may include casseroles and roasted side dishes. Here, wine experts

Northern A Z Luxur y L iving VOL. 5, NO. 6

like Ms. Puckette recommend you pair your wine with the meat dish. If it’s roast beef, there are a variety of options depending on how much you want to spend. At the top of the range, Sangiovese will please your guests: she recommends you learn more about Italian wine as there are more than 350 indigenous wine grape varieties in Italy. A merlot or cabernet sauvignon blend from Argentina or Chile would be a great pick, too. Having ham this year? A dry rosé from Provence may be just the thing to pair with this meal, or perhaps a côtes du rhône blend of grenache, Syrah and mourvèdre. AULD LANG SYNE Ring in the New Year with something light and bubbly, like Champagne. The real thing from France will cost you but it’s worth it — they’ve been promoting their wine as the choice for toasts and celebrations since the 1890s, according to Ms. Puckette, a James Beard Award-winning author. There are as many terms for wine as there are distinctions for tannin, a class of compounds that contribute to the taste and texture in a wine. Words like “opulent” and “elegant” can describe just the taste you’re looking for. If the “breadiness” of your Champagne is a requirement, look for reserve-level Champagne. The key to creating a holiday everyone will remember is to have lots of wine options on hand for everyone’s taste.

The internet is full of recommendations for shocking your body into wellness with a full immersion in freezing cold water, something that gets your heart beating just thinking about it. Less is said about contrast therapy, a combination of cold and hot said to help with some kinds of physical therapy or recovery.

If you choose the at-home route, be prepared to spend some money on equipment. Membership to a spa that offers contrast therapy can cost about $200 per month.

The “vascular pumping effect” may increase blood flow, delivering oxygen to tissues that are inflamed, reducing swelling and speeding up the healing process, according to physical therapists who use the treatment. For years, athletes have been using contrast therapy to treat a host of aches and pains. Now, anyone can benefit from the process.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF As any reader of historical fiction knows, when the going gets tough people “take to the baths.” As far back as 3500 B.C., the health benefits of cold-water plunges have been claimed. Even Hippocrates in 400 B.C. documented that cold water had medicinal purposes, according to an abstract in GeroScience. The researchers explored the untapped potential of cold-water therapy as an intervention for healthy aging.

FROM THE CLIENTS Taking us from the ancient days until today, clients who undergo contrast therapy rave about the effect on their health and well-being. Contrast Studios

WHY THE BUZZ? Athletes and those suffering from pain due to muscles or joints claim that contrast therapy helps reduce muscle soreness and even fatigue. The cold can numb pain and reduce swelling, and the change in temperatures gets the heart bumping in a way that improves overall blood flow. Fans of contrast therapy also report the experience of enhanced well-being: the hot-to-cold transition has an invigorating effect on the mind as well as the body, resulting in mental clarity and focus.

Not only are the benefits physical but she reports it’s a “deep reset” for her mental clarity, too.

IS PERFECT TIME TO

REFRESH YOUR SKIN by Aymee Wilson, Owner & Founder, Wilson Aesthetics

hen the temperatures drop and cozy sweaters come out, it’s the ideal time to give your skin the care it deserves. Many of the most effective skin treatments — like CoolPeel®, chemical peels and microneedling — deliver incredible results, but they work best when sun exposure is limited. That’s why winter is the perfect season to invest in your skin’s health and appearance.

COOLPEEL®: RESURFACE WITHOUT THE DOWNTIME This is a CO2 laser treatment that gently resurfaces the skin, improving fine lines, texture and sun damage. Unlike traditional lasers, CoolPeel® has minimal downtime, making it a patient favorite. Since skin is more sensitive to the sun post-treatment, winter’s shorter, less intense days mean reduced risk of hyperpigmentation and a smoother recovery. CHEMICAL PEELS: REVEAL FRESH, RADIANT SKIN These are a tried-and-true method for exfoliating dull, dry winter skin. By removing the outermost layer of damaged skin cells, peels reveal a brighter, more

even complexion beneath. Because peels can temporarily increase sun sensitivity, the lower UV levels in winter provide the safest window for treatment. The result? Fresh, glowing skin right in time for holiday gatherings. MICRONEEDLING: COLLAGEN BOOST FROM WITHIN Microneedling stimulates the body’s natural healing process by creating tiny micro-injuries in the skin, encouraging collagen and elastin production. This treatment improves fine lines, acne scars and overall skin texture. Like peels and lasers, it’s best performed in cooler months, when patients are less exposed to direct

sunlight. Consistent treatments during winter set the foundation for radiant, youthful skin by spring. THE WINTER ADVANTAGE What all of these treatments have in common is that they require extra care out of the sun. Choosing to schedule them in winter means you’ll heal faster, reduce risks and maximize results. Plus, with the holidays and new year on the horizon, it’s a wonderful opportunity to look refreshed, confident and photo-ready. This season, embrace the cooler weather as your skin’s best friend — and start the journey to your most radiant complexion yet.

ROBOTS CAN DO SURGERY,

Why Not a Massage?

adies and gentlemen, may we present what is one of the most unique applications of artificial intelligence in a high-touch industry: a robot massage. For those of you terrified that AI is taking over the world, this may confirm your fears. However, for those who shy away from massage due to privacy or scheduling issues, or concerns about the gender of their masseuse, this may be good news. Your modesty issues won’t affect the two-armed machine programmed to exact specifications of your body. And you won’t have to make or hear any small talk. WRAPPED IN GIANT ARMS A lifestyle robotics company, Aescape, has released a machine-driven massage table complete with two robotic arms that offer something tailored to an individual’s needs. According to Aescape founder Eric Litman, the machine “scans the body and creates a 3D model from more than 1.1 million data points.” Following the scan, the machine develops a personalized treatment. “The arms themselves have very sensitive sensors… that allows them to feel and adapt to you as you’re breathing and adjusting and living in the moment of your treatment,” Litman says. Aescape is now offered at select Equinox Clubs throughout the country.

PROS AND CONS One of the differences between a robot and human massage is, of course, touch. If smelling sage and listening to flute music is part of the joy of massage for you, a robotic massage may not work. You also might fear that a machine is working on you; however, Aescape massages provide a screen that lets you adjust pressure and change the direction of the massage. The machine requires an Aerwear bodysuit that, according to Chloe Shama in Vogue, can feel like a giant compression sock. The robot is at your command, she reassures us. Another element was being given more choices than she’d ever made during a traditional massage, with images on the screen telling her exactly what the arms would be working on and for how long. She wondered if she would be able to enter a meditative state. What she found was that the control of pressure and the relief in her pressure points was something she could get used to.

GUIDE EATING WHEN IT’S

Cold Outside

s we move toward the winter solstice, our thoughts turn to all things warm… some might call them comfort foods. Well, there’s food, and then there are superfoods. High-end chefs embrace the trend toward sustainable, healthconscious dining, and in the process they have redefined luxury ingredients. WHAT’S SO SUPER ABOUT SUPERFOODS? Winter superfoods are crammed with nutrition, essential vitamins and minerals that keep us healthy. During the winter when it’s cold and we may miss seeing the sun, those vitamins and minerals are essential to getting us through flu season. Superfoods provide antioxidants that ward off illness while providing dense nutrients. Chefs are expanding their luxury offerings from meat-based meals to options for plant-based entrées. Some specialize in vegetables, legumes and fungi as their main course. They may feature a proteinrich lentil dish with exotic seasonings and some focus on seasonal produce to give vegetarians a broad tasting menu. EVERY DAY AND ACCESSIBLE The humble sweet potato leads a list of superfoods that can be enjoyed mashed up with cinnamon and syrup or headlining a soup. Then there’s the acorn squash, also delightful dripping in butter and syrup after being roasted in the oven. Rich in calcium, magnesium, potassium, vitamin C and fiber, acorn squash also is rich in antioxidants to protect us from free radicals that damage cells.

Northern A Z Luxur y L iving VOL. 5, NO. 6

High-end chefs recommend incorporating pomegranate into your diet. Rich in polyphenols and another savior against free radicals, pomegranates can be a tasty if messy treat on their own and they can be added to salads for a tart bite. You also can buy it straight up as a juice. Packed with betanin and naturally occurring nitrates, beets help support healthy cholesterol and health at the cellular level. As queen of the root vegetables, beets can be added to salads, paired with ricotta cheese, honey and walnuts or served with a dollop of Irish butter as a side dish. DON’T FORGET THE CITRUS How lucky we are to be in Arizona where the citrus is plentiful! Oranges, grapefruits and lemons provide the vitamin C we need to keep our immunity high and our bodies hydrated. Make sure to fit citrus into your day whether it’s freshly squeezed orange juice or grapefruit, sliced and diced and ready for eating. Throw some citrus in a salad, too, to give it some pizzazz in color and taste. FOR GOOD MEASURE There are other recommendations for superfoods that provide additional protection against those cold winter nights: keep the nuts close at hand for healthy fats and fiber. Almonds, walnuts, chia seeds and flaxseeds can be mixed with oatmeal (another superfood) and salads. Garlic and onions have immune-boosting properties and can be incorporated into soups, stews and roasted dishes for extra flavor. Chefs recommend adding specialty oils and salts for taste.

Winter Self-Care Arsenal:

Luxury Meets Comfort

s winter deepens and daylight dwindles, self-care becomes less of a luxury and more of a necessity. The season calls for grounding rituals — practices that restore balance, warmth and clarity. Whether you’re seeking stillness after long workdays or simply craving tactile comfort, the ultimate winter self-care arsenal blends indulgence with intention. Here’s how to curate yours. WEIGHTED BLANKETS: THE ART OF CALM A well-made weighted blanket does more than warm you, it soothes the nervous system. Look for options with breathable fabrics and even weight distribution. Drape one over your legs during meditation

or curl up for a more restful night’s sleep. It’s like a full-body exhale. SILK LOUNGEWEAR: QUIET LUXURY AT HOME Forget the fleece. Elevate your downtime with silk robes or matching sets that feel as good as they look. Lightweight yet insulating, silk regulates body temperature while delivering pure tactile luxury. Ideal for both men and women who want to feel effortlessly elegant even when they’re off the clock. AROMATHERAPY, REFINED Winter is the perfect backdrop for scent-based rituals. Swap synthetic sprays for essential oil diffusers or artisan candles.

Notes of sandalwood, cedar, vetiver or bergamot ground the senses and infuse your space with calm. Bonus: It instantly sets the tone for mindful evenings in. WARM BATHS: THE ULTIMATE INDULGENCE When there’s time, add a luxurious bath to the aromatherapy for a bone-deep warmth you can’t get any other way. Fill the tub with water of about 107 degrees, add a few drops of essential oils like lavender or rose, select soaking salts and use calming bath bombs made of milk, oatmeal and honey. GROOMING KITS AND HIGH-END SKIN CARE Cold air is harsh, so skin care becomes survival. Men’s grooming kits with weighted razors and nourishing oils feel purposeful and indulgent. For women, rich serums, overnight masks and lip treatments restore hydration. Store them in a leather case or stone tray to make the ritual feel curated and not clinical. MINDFULNESS JOURNALS: MENTAL CLARITY ON PAPER A beautifully bound journal offers more than pages — it offers perspective. Morning gratitude lists or evening reflections can help reframe stress and reconnect you with your goals, even in the quiet dark of winter.

POWDER WITH CREAM TO AID YOUR

WINTER FACE

ike any form of beauty, skin care and makeup are first an inside job. That means getting plenty of sleep and eating healthy food. Exercise. Get outside (but wear SPF 30 or higher). No amount of product or treatment can make up for neglect, especially during the winter months. Hydrate from the inside out. Drink plenty of water to maintain moisture. Cut back on hot showers, which may feel great if you’re shivering cold but strip your skin of its natural moisture. Get out the humidifier and keep it in your bedroom to combat indoor heat that may cause your skin to dry out. PRODUCTS FOR THE JOURNEY Skin care experts seem to agree that winter months call for a switch to a moisturizing foundation. Begin with a hydrating primer to protect your skin from the cold. If you’ve been using a matte foundation, now is the time to swap that out for a moisturizing foundation with a cream-based formula. When applying, use a damp makeup sponge or “egg” to blend. Like foundation, blush and highlighter should be cream based. Our skin is drier in the winter and may tend to flake, and cream products do a better job of creating a smooth finish. Also, cream blush on the apples of your cheeks gives that just-in-from-the-cold flush that looks so great against winter white.

A TOUCH OF RED Before pulling out that lipstick, make sure your lips are clean and hydrated, not flaky or dry. There are lip balms and treatments to make sure your canvas is smooth before you grab the lipliner. Once you do, go with some deep reds and wine-colored or berry lipsticks or glosses. Winter is the time for dramatic lips that share the festive colors of the season. Two other tips for that winter glow: avoid powders and embrace highlights. Powders tend to make our skin look dry and flaky, and highlights reflect that inner glow to the outside world. Apply highlighter with a sheen to the inner corners of your eyes, brush highlighter on the top of your cheekbones and right below your eyes. Let them reflect your inner light and spirit. THE EYES HAVE IT Now that winter is setting in, it’s time to change your eye makeup palette. From the breezy blues of summer to the darker shades of fall, winter makeup can be stark but sensational. Lots and lots of mascara is key to giving your eyes that smoky look, and don’t shy away from the navy blues and grays in your makeup drawer. Remember, the makeup sponge is our friend: blend and wipe away some of what you put on, and see what’s left. A wise makeup artist once said about the application of makeup, “It’s not what you put on. It’s what you take off.” VOL. 5, NO. 6 Northern A Z Luxur y L iving

Winter WALKS

ARE THE COLD SEASON’S QUIET CURE

hen the temperature dips and the air bites back, most people retreat indoors. But there’s a quiet kind of healing that happens when you step outside in winter — just you, the cold and the crunch of earth underfoot. A short, mindful walk in the cold isn’t just invigorating. It’s therapy. Unlike summer strolls, winter walks strip life down to essentials. The landscape quiets, the colors mute and distractions fade. What’s left is clarity. The cold sharpens your senses. Even a brisk 15-minute walk in chilly weather has real benefits. It boosts circulation, wakes up your nervous system, and gives your heart a gentle workout. Cold air forces your body to work harder to maintain warmth, increasing your metabolic rate. But beyond the physical perks, it’s the mental reset that matters most. In the stillness of winter, your mind has space to breathe. The key is to make these walks intentional — not rushed, not aimless but grounded in mindfulness. No need to solve anything. Just walk. PROCEED WITH A PLAN Dress smart; layering is essential. Start with a moisture-wicking base

Northern A Z Luxur y L iving VOL. 5, NO. 6

to keep sweat off your skin. Add an insulating layer like fleece or wool, then top it with a windproof, breathable shell. Gloves and a warm hat are nonnegotiable; much of your body heat escapes through your head and hands. Choose boots with grip, especially if you’re walking in icy patches, and wool socks to keep your feet dry and warm. Timing matters too. Aim for midmorning or early afternoon when the sun offers a bit more warmth. If you’re walking in forested or higher elevation areas, check trail conditions and be mindful of sudden temperature drops. Shorter walks are fine. In fact, they’re better. This isn’t a workout challenge. It’s a way to reconnect with your senses and find stillness in motion. For those dealing with seasonal sadness, stress or creative block, cold walks can be a secret weapon. They reduce cortisol, elevate mood and boost mental clarity. The rhythmic movement, paired with deep breathing in crisp air, is a natural tonic for tension. Winter doesn’t have to be endured indoors. It can be a season of restoration — one step at a time. Pull on your boots, zip your coat and head out. The trail is quiet, the air is sharp and your mind is waiting for the thaw.

SEASONAL RITUALS

TO PRIORITIZE HEALTH, VITALITY FOR DECADES TO COME

s winter unfolds, the affluent are embracing a new vision of wellness — one that balances indulgence with intentional investment in long-term vitality. Beyond cozy cashmere and fireside soirées, this season’s true luxury lies in cultivating rituals that extend not just comfort, but also life expectancy, health and quality of living. What we’re calling Winter Luxe Longevity is harnessing the restorative power of seasonal rhythms while leaning into cutting-edge therapies and timehonored practices that keep body and mind resilient for decades to come. EMBRACE TECHNOLOGY FOR WELLNESS Among the most popular winter longevity rituals is cryotherapy, a therapy that exposes the body to ultra-low temperatures for a few minutes. Once considered extreme, it has become a mainstay at luxury wellness clubs and private estates. Advocates praise its ability to reduce inflammation, support recovery and boost endorphins — ideal for countering the lethargy of colder months. Equally alluring is red-light therapy, often found in bespoke home wellness suites. With its ability to stimulate collagen, enhance circulation and promote cellular repair, red-light panels and full-body beds are coveted tools for those seeking a radiant winter glow that starts below the surface. Meanwhile, personalized supplements tailored through advanced testing are gaining momentum. From precision blends of omega-3s and adaptogens to customized vitamin infusions, the goal is not just to meet baseline nutrition but to anticipate and offset age-related decline before it begins.

ANCIENT WISDOM MEETS MODERN MINDFULNESS Wellness thrives on balance. This winter, many are integrating meditation apps into their daily routines. These digital sanctuaries combine convenience with profound restorative impact. Paired with aromatherapy or sound baths, they create mindful interludes. Age-old rituals also resurface during the season of introspection. Practices like herbal teas, restorative yoga and journaling remind us that longevity is sustained as much by mental serenity as by physical innovation. By weaving together ancient traditions and modern tools, winter wellness becomes a symphony of past and future. DESIGNING A LIFESTYLE OF LONGEVITY True luxury is proactive, building a lifestyle that safeguards decades ahead while enhancing the present moment. From private retreats that offer biohacking suites to at-home sanctuaries outfitted with recovery technologies, the emphasis is on curating an environment where wellness becomes effortless. In this pursuit, balance is essential. This does not mean trading indulgence for austerity. It is about savoring a glass of fine red wine while also scheduling time in the cryo chamber, or enjoying a decadent holiday feast while complementing it with supplements that support metabolic health.

Tea Time Rituals

n winter, wellness often comes wrapped in warmth — a knit blanket, a flickering fire or a steaming cup of tea. Beyond hydration, tea has long been celebrated as both remedy and ritual, a practice that balances indulgence with mindful care. Curating a winter tea ritual can transform a simple pause into a sensory retreat, blending flavor, fragrance and quiet reflection. MATCHA: ENERGY IN HARMONY Vivid green and velvety, matcha offers a gentle lift without the crash of coffee. Its high concentration of L-theanine provides sustained energy and focus, making it ideal for mid-morning resets. For the most luxurious experience, whisk ceremonial-grade matcha in a handmade bowl, letting the froth form like a soft crown. Sip slowly, appreciating its grassy sweetness while taking a few deep breaths between each mouthful. SPICED CHAI: COMFORT WITH A KICK Few things rival the comfort of spiced chai on a frosty afternoon. Warming spices like cinnamon, cardamom and cloves support digestion and circulation while enveloping the senses. To elevate the ritual, simmer chai leaves with whole spices in a copper

pot, then finish with oat milk or cream for richness. Serve in double-walled glasses and enjoy alongside a small square of dark chocolate for a truly indulgent pairing. RARE OOLONG: ELEGANCE IN EVERY SIP For evenings, look to oolong, celebrated for its layered flavors and gentle caffeine profile. A rare, lightly oxidized oolong unfolds floral and honeyed notes that reward patience. Steep in a glass pot, watching the leaves unfurl like underwater blossoms. Pour into delicate porcelain cups, taking time to notice how each infusion evolves — a meditation in flavor and stillness. MINDFUL SIPPING TIPS The essence of tea is not just in drinking, but in how it’s experienced. Create space for ritual: choose vessels that please the eye and hand, set your phone aside, and let the steam rising from the cup be your cue to slow down. Before the first sip, inhale deeply, savoring the aroma. Between sips, pause. Feel the warmth in your palms, notice the way your body softens, and let the tea invite you into its presence.

CRAFT MINDFUL MORNINGS

FOR DARK WINTER DAYS

hen winter mornings arrive shrouded in darkness, it’s tempting to burrow deeper under the covers and delay the day. But instead of hitting snooze, try rising into a quiet, intentional rhythm designed to bring light and clarity to your morning — no matter where the sun is. Here’s a refined, five-step routine for welcoming winter mornings with calm, focus and a bit of luxury. 1. START WITH LIGHT Combat the season’s lack of sunlight with a high-quality light-therapy lamp. Look for one that emits 10,000 lux and mimics natural daylight without UV rays. Set it on your bedside table or vanity and bask for 20 minutes while you ease into your routine. This gentle burst of brightness signals your brain to stop producing melatonin, lifting grogginess and boosting mood. 2. BREATHE WITH PURPOSE Before reaching for your phone, sit upright and take five minutes for breathwork. Try the 4-7-8 method: inhale through the nose for four seconds, hold for seven, exhale slowly through the mouth for eight. This calms the nervous system and primes your mind for clarity and focus. 3. HYDRATE ELEGANTLY Your body wakes up dehydrated, especially with dry winter air. Instead

of coffee first, drink a tall glass of room-temperature water with a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of sea salt. It rehydrates, aids digestion and helps flush out toxins. Serve it in a favorite glass or carafe to elevate the ritual. 4. JOURNAL WITH INTENTION Skip the long entries. Keep it crisp: • What am I grateful for this morning? • What is one thing I want to feel today? This two-minute practice anchors you in presence and purpose before the day races ahead. 5. MOVE GENTLY Whether it’s light stretching, a slow sun salutation or simply standing to open the blinds, get your body moving. It doesn’t need to be intense — it just needs to start. 6. EAT HEALTHFULLY Step into your kitchen to prepare a simple, warm and nourishing meal to complete your initial launch into the day. Oatmeal with fruit and/or nuts, avocado on omelets or whole-wheat toast, breakfast bowls with beans and baked egg cups are just a few of the options.

DESIGN

s g u R g L ayerin ALLOWS MULTIPLE STYLINGS

esides a fresh coat of paint, nothing changes a room quite so much as changing the flooring. Carpeting and rugs give texture, warmth and shape to a room, and the art of combining rugs can make a big difference in the look and feel of your home.

VOL. 5, NO. 6 Northern A Z Luxur y L iving

DESIGN OUT WITH THE OLD Is there serviceable but outdated carpeting in your home that covers the room, and you’re not keen on replacing it? Cover it with another rug, layering one on top of the other. Large rugs can hide a multitude of carpeting sins, but you’ll need to opt for rugs heavy enough to resist slippage. Don’t forget to add a carpet pad between the rugs. Adding a layer of rug to existing carpeting can make up for an outdated or blah look. Consider adding an array of smaller rugs that complement each other, contrasting them with colors and weave. Whether you’re toning down the color of an existing rug or adding boldness to an otherwise dull room, rugs can help achieve the look you’re going for without ripping up the original. WARM UP THE TEMP For a room that may appear sterile or cold, rugs can amp up the temperature with color and texture. If a room appears too formal, it may not be used or enjoyed. Adding a layered rug can make a difference. Home décor experts advise that you start with a flat rug to provide a stable base. Then, look for a rug that provides a high-pile plush, maybe a sheepskin or faux fur look. You don’t have to cover the whole “platform” rug. Adding an accent rug strategically under a see-through coffee table or tucking a warmer color beneath furniture to peek out can change the feeling of an otherwise lifeless room.

Northern A Z Luxur y L iving VOL. 5, NO. 6

BALANCE AND ZONES Depending on the size of a room, layering a rug can provide balance to an off-kilter layout. When choosing your rugs, think of the size of the room. Do the rugs give the room a broader, wider look in a small space? Or maybe you need to add some visual appeal to one side of a big room, balancing heavy furniture or cabinets on the other side. Ask any kindergarten teacher: rugs can create zones for work, fun and play. In a large space, you may want to divide up the room with

different rugs that connote different tasks or pleasures. The rugs under the dining room table may be more durable for cleaning up after a party while the fluffy rugs by the couch invite people to linger and lounge. The shape of the rug plays a big part, too. Is it a circle rug, implying connectedness? A big square rug can invite your family and guests into the conversation zone, up close and personal.

FLOAT YOUR

FURNITURE

TO OPEN UP ROOMS

levating the look of your home may mean a literal elevating of your furniture with “floating furniture.” No, it doesn’t mean it’s being washed away in a flood… floating furniture can mean either it’s attached to a wall, or your furniture (especially the sofa) is pulled away from the walls to create a space all its own. WALL-MOUNTED FLOATING Probably the most common wall-mounted fixtures are shelves and credenzas. Appearing like an optical illusion, floating furniture that’s affixed to a wall can give an airy, spacious feeling to a room. Nightstands and vanities that “float” can achieve the same effect with a clean aesthetic that gives minimalism its virtue. A credenza might be mounted under a large screen for a home theater look. NO WALLFLOWERS HERE Only a bold homeowner will try the floating furniture look as a way to strategically place objects in a room, away from the wall. We’re trained to tuck that sofa up against a wall, but there’s another way to structure a room other than lining everything along the perimeter.

Northern A Z Luxur y L iving VOL. 5, NO. 6

Open-concept spaces are ideal for pulling furniture to the middle of the room, centered on a focal piece like a coffee table. Sofas and sectionals can be placed in a cozy circle, encouraging conversation. Scale matters when floating furniture, so make sure the pieces fit the space. Although it may seem counterintuitive, using this method can make a room seem larger, and it may help with walkways and traffic flow. TIPS AND TRICKS Area rugs can work wonders in helping define a zone for your floating furniture. Use this

technique especially when there are architectural flourishes you want to show off like a fireplace, a bay window or an entertainment center. Make sure there’s plenty of space for people to move in and around the furniture, and think about practical things like electric cords, cables and outlets. Bookcases with open backs can be used to separate a room, creating two distinct spaces. This is particularly useful in kids’ bedrooms and in dining areas that may double for office space. Desks can be pulled away from the wall to create the illusion of a room within a room.

HEDGES MAKE GOOD NEIGHBORS WITH

Natural, E legant Borders

by Blake Herzog

ome neighborhoods lack any kind of divider between backyards; more have block fences that provide a barrier impermeable to most people and animals, including wildlife. Neither approach is quite right for the ease and graciousness of a luxury lifestyle. Using more organic materials to define your property line and provide privacy may be a better fit for the rugged mountain beauty of our region. Wood and stone walls reflect the strength of the earth and the building blocks they provide us, but a plantbased solution such as a hedge can become habitat for beneficial birds and bugs and wildlife transportation corridors, as well as a filter for the breezes that flow through it. Hedges form when shrubs or bushes are planted closely to create a partition. These are some of the species that best serve our environment. JUNIPER One of the iconic species of the Wild West, juniper’s toughness and versatility continue to make it a natural for our landscapes. Two varieties that work especially well in hedge form are Blue Point, offering a sparky bluegreen hue for a fast-growing privacy screen that can reach 12 feet tall and Mint Julep, which tends to top out at a more manageable 5 feet. Junipers are low maintenance, prevent soil erosion and are resistant to deer and most pests.

RED TIP PHOTINIA This evergreen native of Asia was named for the blazing tone new leaves take on as they burst forth, giving it a fiery appearance alongside delicate white spring flowers. As they mature, the leaves turn a glossy dark green that’s even more attractive. It does well in full or partial sun, but it’s best to protect it from harsh winter winds. It’s better suited to the climate around Prescott and Sedona compared to Flagstaff. GOLDEN EUONYMUS Another eye-catching evergreen shrub, this one has variegated green and yellow leaves and is a popular and easy choice for a hedge. Its dense foliage adapts readily to pruning and shearing, or it can be allowed to grow further upward, forming a dense screen. It can grow up to 6 feet over the first decade of growth and in some cases will eventually reach 10 feet. OREGON GRAPE HOLLY Its leaves look quite similar to those of the English holly found in the hedges of formal gardens, but some of its cousins can be found growing in the Arizona wild. Growing to an average height of 6 feet, it sports small but showy golden flowers in early spring that transform into grapelike blue berries in summer, both of which draw birds. People can feast on the berries, too, straight off the vine or as the flavor in a delicious jam! VOL. 5, NO. 6 Northern A Z Luxur y L iving

IMPART ELEGANCE INTO YOUR GENTLEMAN’S LIBRARY

f the finale of Downton Abbey isn’t enough to make you lust for an English Country home library, consider the recommendations of Gentleman’s Gazette, a YouTube channel that claims to help us “master classic style and unleash your inner gentleman.” The host of this channel presents ideas for classic menswear, etiquette and savoir faire. Here are just some of his choices from a curated list for the ideal Gentleman’s Library. The Chesterfield sofa. Invented by the fourth Earl of Chesterfield, a politician cum trendsetter, this sofa is a staple in clubhouses, offices and old-fashioned libraries. The characteristic buttoned upholstery and nail head trim add dimension to the room with its peaks and valleys. Black, tobacco and distressed leather give it that library look. The wingback chair. Designed to keep its occupants warm, these chairs were introduced in the 1600s, and the basic design has remained unchanged. Bookshelves. Built-in bookshelves, floor-to-ceiling, in dark wood with carved cornices give the Gentleman’s Library a majestic feel. To be a more

literal fan of this style, find leather bound books that line up in a row and tuck old books in the shelves without decoration. If you want a more updated look, stack or separate books with brass, silver, porcelain or crystal objets d’art in between. Old family photos in ornate frames can make the space more personal. Paintings. Here, frames make the difference. Whether your choice of art is traditional or modern, a gilded gold frame complements the ambiance of the Gentleman’s Library. You don’t have to have original art to have a gallery wall. Hunting scenes give that manly man gravitas to the room, and the art is set off by dark red or green walls. A bar cart. No Gentleman’s Library would be complete without a bar cart, replete with the best bourbon, heavy crystal glasses and a 1920s art deco ice bucket. If the gentleman of the house is a teetotaler, fill that bar with mocktail ingredients and beautiful glassware. You don’t have to have a title to feel like a duke. If you’re on a budget, consider secondhand goods. You might find that baby grand piano to complete the look of your Gentleman’s Library.

ROOMS WITH PENDANT LIGHTS, CHANDELIERS by Blake Herzog

handeliers have been gracing rooms in wealthy homes since the invention of the candle in the 6th century, though the extreme drippiness of the earliest candles meant standing underneath them was risky business. Pendant lights date from ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt, where vessels were filled with oil and lit to illuminate temples and other public spaces, as well as homes. Today, relying on electricity, chandeliers retain the branched, multiple-bulbed structure inspired by the earliest models used for ambient lighting, while pendant lights generally consist of one bulb dedicated to task lighting. Both forms of suspended illumination have evolved to become coveted design centerpieces of today’s luxury homes. DIMENSIONS Interior designers have devised guidelines for sizing chandeliers to a room. Go bigger or lower if you desire but be aware the result could seem overwhelming to some. One common and easy one is to convert the length and width of the room from feet into inches and add the two numbers, which will yield a maximum size for the light fixture. For example, a 12 by 16 foot room’s chandelier or pendant light should be no wider than 28 inches. For a dining room, the fixture should be about two-thirds the width of the table underneath it. A light should hang about 7 feet above the floor, or 2½ to 3 feet above a table.

STYLING There is a wealth of styles of both pendant lights and chandeliers to fall in love with. Chandeliers are generally considered to be showier and perhaps worthier of “statement” status, but pendants come in just as many sizes and shapes and can command just as much attention. Your statement fixture should match or complement the style of the room’s furnishings, or the room can be designed around the light source. Chandeliers can be found in ornate traditional shapes and forms like the candle style, which mimics the size and shape of candles with its bulbs and receptacles; crystal style, which refracts the light through ornamental glass, round drum fixtures, rectangular island chandeliers; and modern displays, many based on the Sputnik design. You’re probably most familiar with the pendant light with a single large bulb under a metal, glass or fabric shade, most often hung in a kitchen or bedroom. But there are many more sculptural designs that can absolutely work as statement fixtures, from retro fabric lampshades to ultramodern abstract concepts to tiered shades. Some shapes, such as the round, shallow “drum,” are fantastic for chandeliers and pendants alike.

USE COLOR-BLOCKED CURTAINS AS

STYLISH ROOM DIVIDERS

pen-concept living has its perks — light flows freely, the space feels expansive, and the layout encourages connection. But too much openness can feel chaotic without visual structure. That’s where color-blocked curtains come in. More than just window dressing, bold drapery can function as stylish dividers, offering privacy, contrast and cohesion all at once. Color blocking — pairing solid, contrasting shades on a surface to create visual interest — has made its mark in fashion and interiors alike. When applied to curtains, it becomes a clever tool to organize space without sacrificing light or airiness. Use floor-toceiling panels to carve out zones in a loft, studio or large family room. A curtain wall in crisp white and navy, for example, can distinguish a dining area from a lounge space while keeping the overall palette refined. Texture matters as much as color. Rich velvets or structured linens in saturated tones like forest green with ochre or charcoal against blush introduce depth and drama. Lighter cottons in clean blocks of pastel can soften a home office or reading nook tucked within a larger room.

Function meets form when hardware is thoughtfully chosen. A curved ceiling track allows curtains to glide smoothly around corners, ideal for wrapping a sleeping area in privacy. For a more sculptural approach, suspend panels from minimalist rods or cable systems and let them puddle slightly at the floor for that relaxed-luxury feel. The magic of this technique lies in its flexibility. Want to host a dinner party? Pull back the curtains and open the space. Need a moment of calm? Draw them closed and let the colors cocoon you. In either position their vivid color palette and texture will add interest to the overall room. Color-blocked drapery isn’t just décor — it’s architecture in fabric. It enhances what curtains can do in a modern home: soften acoustics, create intimacy and add visual rhythm. It’s a luxury solution for those who want versatility without walls. Whether you’re transforming a downtown loft or a sun-filled mountain retreat, sectioning off your home with color-blocked curtains offers a way to shape space with sophistication and style — no renovation required.
