Innholdsfortegnelse for February 2019 i Palm Beach Illustrated

When you’re in the presence of someone who is driven by passion, you feel it. The energy in the room changes, and suddenly nothing seems unattainable. That’s absolutely the case with this month’s cover model, Brittany Peltz Buerstedde. At only 29, Brittany is sure of what she wants—and goes after it with focus and determination. Some of that comes from her background as a figure skater, a career track she’d cultivated for nine years before being sidelined by injury. Some people would let disappointment get the better of them, but Brittany harnessed it as fuel for her next act: fashion design. Motivated by her fierce competitive nature and inspired by her muses, daughters Eva, 4, and Lila, 2, she launched children’s clothing line Leah + Rae on her own terms.…

Jason McCobb has made a name for himself in the world of urban gardening. As Farmer Jay, he works to pass along the forgotten art of sustainable agriculture to adults and the next generation of gardeners. In addition to helping grown-ups build gardens, he teaches area students about growing food through his Farmer Jay’s Junior Sprouts nonprofit organization. Here, he lays out the groundwork for building a burgeoning herb garden. (myfarmerjay.com) PBI: What are the key necessities in a backyard herb garden? McCobb: Good organic soil and fertilizer. Lambert Peat makes my soil mix and is a very reputable brand. Soil is the digestive system for the plant and should not be skimped on. For fertilizer, you need to address three main areas: macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium), micronutrients (minerals),…

For cardio and muscle toning without ever having to pound the pavement or stress the joints, strap on a pair of Kangoo jump boots. Safe for all ages and fitness levels, the athletic footwear has a similar feel to ski boots or Rollerblades. They feature springs that provide an antigravity effect during rebounding, a workout that combines aerobics and strength training. Tania Lee, owner of Beachside Fitness Studio in Green-acres, developed her own rebounding class that syncs the boots with music for an hour of jumping, dancing, and weights. “The combination of the bouncing with the music is exciting, upbeat, and motivational,” says Lee, who has been teaching rebounding for eight years. “You’re getting a full-body workout, and because it’s low-impact, you can do the cardio for longer.” By the…

Hair thinning is a natural fact of life for most women as they age. Though it’s unrealistic to expect to maintain the full, thick locks enjoyed during one’s teen years, women experiencing hair thinning or hair loss can take action by getting to the root of the cause. “We can lose between 50 to 100 hairs a day, so regular shedding is normal,” says trichologist Andrea Green, a trained scalp health expert and owner of Hair Professionals in West Palm Beach. “You have to pay attention to your body and notice when it becomes abnormal.” According to Green, changes in hormone levels account for the majority of complaints. Many women see effects after a pregnancy or when entering premenopause, but there are plenty of other factors at play. “We’re definitely…

Now through April 25, London’s Royal Academy of Arts is mounting “Present Sense,” an exhibition of paintings, sculptures, and prints by Dublin-born conceptual artist Michael Craig-Martin at The Gallery at Windsor in Vero Beach. Himself a Royal Academician, Craig-Martin graduated from the Yale University School of Art and is the former teacher of such art world heavy hitters as Julian Opie and Damien Hirst. Visitors to CityPlace in West Palm Beach will be familiar with his first permanent U.S. installation, Palm Beach Parade, a series of 24 18-foot-by-9-foot panels around the facade of the Culture Lab. As a whole, his work explores the nature of visual language using iconic everyday objects that dominate and define our contemporary and technological life, such as sneakers, iPhones, and headphones.

Dating is difficult—especially in February. But as local businesswoman and author Ann Marie Sorrell notes, dating is a marathon, not a sprint. Inspired by her own relationships, good and bad, Sorrell wrote Chronicles of a Serial Dater ($15) to offer up her advice to men and women on how to survive and thrive in the wild world of dating. When love beats you down, “you have to pull yourself together, get back out there, and keep hope alive,” says Sorrell, who is also president and CEO of The Mosaic Group, an events, marketing, and PR firm. Here, Sorrell shares five tips for dating with intent, honesty, and an open heart. (chroniclesofaserialdater.com) 1 Date Ready: Make sure you are ready to date (mentally, emotionally, and physically). To find and sustain love,…

Oscars season calls for high-impact makeup. On the runway or on the red carpet, nothing dazzles like metallics. Shine like a star in Le Lion de Chanel illuminating powder in sparkling golden tones ($70) and Le Vernis nail color in Flamboyance ($28, both at Chanel); Deborah Koepper Molten Metal face, eye, and lip color in Rosy Copper ($35) and mineral eye color in Venetian Gold and Platinum ($30, both at Deborah Koepper Beauty, Palm Beach); and Rouge Dior Liquid iridescent lip color in Hologlam ($37, Sephora).…

Though only 29 years old, Brittany Peltz Buerstedde has led many lives. Her first chapter was as a figure skater. She dedicated nine years to training, spending five away from her family in order to work with the coaches of Olympic silver medalists Nancy Kerrigan and Paul Wylie. Then, at age 15, injuries and subsequent surgeries forced her to quit. “Skating was my first love, the language through which I expressed myself,” she says. “When I had to stop, I was devastated. My physical healing took a year, and my emotional healing far longer.” Her parents, billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz and former model Claudia Heffner Peltz, taught her to carry on—to find something else she was ardent about and pour body and soul into it. While pursuing figure skating, Brittany…

Stephanie Kantis wasn’t born with a silver spoon in her mouth. But if she had been, she would’ve repurposed it into a pendant. “I come from modest means, and because of that, I like to max out whatever I can,” says the creator of bold artisan jewelry, who has a design studio in Palm Beach. “I don’t like to be wasteful, and that fuels my creativity because I want to get the biggest bang for the buck. I use all of my raw materials in the best way I can, and that plays very much to where I’m at now.” Where Kantis is at now, in fact, is Waterfront Clematis, a loft complex on the Intracoastal Waterway in West Palm Beach. She left behind a five-bedroom house for 1,800 square…

Inside new Wellington hot spot Trophy Room, a neon sign reads, “Everyone is someone’s trophy.” Belly up to the swanky bar, order a Golden Goose cocktail—made with Grey Goose vodka, egg white, crème de violette, Meyer lemon, and edible gold dust—and you’ll feel like a trophy, too. With plush velvet seats, marble tabletops, and gilded accents, the restaurant located at the former site of The Grille Fashion Cuisine looks like a winner’s circle. Nods to the equestrian community are ubiquitous, from the walls covered with striking horse images from photographer Juan Lamarca to the menu created by chef Joseph Bonavita Jr., formerly of 50 Ocean. After a long day at the stables or at a show jumping or polo event, diners can tuck into perfectly marbled steaks and nirvana-inducing Ora…

Punch not only satisfies a party crowd, but with a few healthier twists it can also provide a guilt-free way to indulge. This elixir by health and wellness guru Jules Aron, featured in Nourish & Glow: Naturally Beautifying Foods and Elixirs (Countryman Press, $19.95), forgoes mystery syrups and juice from concentrate to employ the power of culinary-grade dried flowers and herbs, pomegranate, and polyphenol resveratrol, an antioxidant found in berries and grapes that protects against free-radical damage. Served up in a crystal punch bowl with pretty garnishes, it’s an upgraded libation that brings a festive touch to any Valentine’s (or Galentine’s!) Day celebration.

The health benefits of superfoods like ginger and turmeric are well known. However, the myriad ways to incorporate them into your diet and wellness routine aren’t as common knowledge. Grandview Public Market in West Palm Beach will host donation-based herbalist workshops led by Juliane Miklos, a local herbalist and gardener known for her social media presence as @sweetjuliane. At these monthly classes, Miklos will share insight into powerful flora and their respective culinary, cosmetic, and medicinal uses as students sip tea featuring the herb of discussion.

What’s a former U.S. president to do when he retires and no longer has the weight of the world on his shoulders? Following his tenure in the Oval Office, President George W. Bush picked up painting. After learning of the artistic pursuits of another one-time political juggernaut, the late British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Bush decided if Churchill could do it so could he, and he began taking classes and honing his skills in earnest. Now, Palm Beachers can view his creations as part of “Portraits of Courage: A Commander in Chief’s Tribute to America’s Warriors,” on display at The Society of the Four Arts beginning February 2. This special exhibition features 66 portraits and a mural depicting service members and veterans who have served since 9/11. Bush accompanies each…

Initially, the website functioned as an outlet for Egitto to discover the county’s new restaurants, but as she shared the stories and faces behind the drool-worthy dishes, she became an integral part of the food community herself.

OSLO As Europe’s northernmost country, Norway’s identity is tied to the ocean and a thirst for exploration. This land of Vikings attracts visitors with its fascinating geography characterized by fjords nestled between cliffs and jagged coastline. In Oslo, the region’s natural and historical heritage commingles with cultural pursuits and amenities distinct to our modern age. Cutting a curvaceous silhouette against the Oslo Fjord, The Thief (thethief.com) is a contemporary hotel that steals its name from its location’s storied past. During the eighteenth century, Tjuvholmen, or Thief Islet, was a haven for robbers and other miscreants. Today, it’s regarded as Oslo’s entertainment and arts center, and The Thief embraces this reputation in its design and operating philosophy. With an exterior marked by the interplay of shadows, glass, wood, and snapshots of…

When it comes to hearts, a little goes a long way. All you need is one cute detail to lighten up the most serious fashions. Take Burberry, for example. The British luxury brand dressed up its iconic plaid fabric with a few playful red hearts, resulting in a fresh update ideal for February. Speaking of updating, take cookware to the next level with heart plates and roasters that are equal parts sweet and cheery. As far as sweet bites go, you can’t forget about chocolate. When I found this chocolate pretzel heart, mine just about melted! It even comes with a small smash mallet to break the confection into pieces, bringing new meaning to the term “heartbreaker.” And there’s no better way to enjoy this treat than curled up in…
