This Month In Style: August 2022

Style Magazine – August 2022

In this month’s feature, “Sweet Spots” (page 58), writer Sharon Penny shares over 25 of the region’s best ones. Make it your mission to try them all, guilt-free, and then report back with your favorites. First on my list? The fresh-baked, buttery soft cookie on our cover (available at Crumbl), followed closely by the colorful conchas from Brissa & Co., and the “Unicorn Cloud” cake donut with cotton candy icing from BAD Bakers.

There are plenty of other page-turning topics this month—including a profile on local firefighters (“Hometown Heroes” page 20), the importance of sleep (“ABCs of ZZZs” on page 42), and a roundup of area authors (“Book Club” on page 16)—but our publishers’ piece about Debra (“Last Look” on page 98) is the icing on the issue’s cake. Grab the tissues, give it a read, and remember that every day is a gift, so—like Debra did—fill each one with good food, good wine, and good people.

Finding Your Passion and Purpose in Retirement (Sponsored)
Retirement should be some of the best years of your life, but it can lose its luster without passion and purpose. With the end of a long career, the flight of children from the nest, and many hours to fill, retirement can make older adults feel irrelevant and unneeded, even when you have so much to give. Rather than take retirement lying down, jumpstart life by finding your passion and purpose.
