ET MAGAZINE - JULY 2021

the sheer craze is one of many reworked 70s staples. A sheer maxi dress thrown over your bikini is perfect for a sun-soaked day at the beach. Semi-sheer or layered sheer is more functional for an everyday look. Various 70s trends have popped up throughout this entire year. Clogs are on the rise, popularizing them- selves among all age groups. Miu Miu sent them down the runway this year and last. With the pan- demic providing extra time to develop skills, many learned the art of crocheting. Rather than baby hats and scarves, many young women have begun pro- ducing their own crocheted bra-tops and dresses. In response, iconic designers and off-the-rack stores have put out various crocheted pieces, (including these coveted dresses), and thin, holey sweaters so light they can still be worn in the summer. The halter neckline is back in full force as a result of both 70s and y2k being flaunted by designers and influencers alike. Similar to many of the afore- mentioned trends, the halter top works for casual errand runs and dramatic evenings out. A simple halter top will keep you cool and stylish during the day, while a plunging halter neckline with a shimmer detail can be fun and flirty for nighttime excursion. Another 70s meets the y2k, the hippie-favored patchwork which is circulating again. Commonly seen on dresses and hippie bags, the patchwork is a down-to-earth pattern, easily paired with a ban- dana and Birkenstocks. This summer is the first time most people will begin returning to their regular lives. Take advantage of the various trends available and piece together a stunning outfit for glamour dates, sunny beach days, and even trips to the grocery store!

With the warmer months upon us and COVID-19 restrictions easing, this summer is the perfect time to flaunt a new outfit! Major runway designers like John Galliano and Miuccia Prada are leading the pack this season with androgynous and hyper-fem- inine retro. Some of the major staples this season are puffy sleeves, wide-legged trousers, and sheer fabrics. The 70s, and to a lesser extent the 80s and early 2000s, have proven to be a significant influence and inspiration. Puff sleeves have been popular on both dresses and tops for several seasons now. This voluminous detail draws on the old 80s craze but is revamped to fit modern aesthetics. Puff sleeve midi dresses are a wardrobe must-have this summer! The dress is comfortable and versatile, functioning as both ca- sual and dressy (depending on how you choose to style it), making this the ideal day-to-evening piece. Another 80s revival is the wide-legged pant, or “office trousers.” Drawing on power suits and office chic, these trousers can be styled as either femi- nine- with a cropped top or sheer blouse; or mas- culine- with a blazer or thrifted t-shirt. Teens are in- corporating this trend into their wardrobe by shopping for oversized cargo pants and cinching them around the waist with belts, shoe laces, and safety pins.

Sheer fabrics have been dominating both the runway and the racks. Popular especially on Fendi runways,

4 - Make sure you move . You are probably so fed up with hearing about how exercise is good for you…but remember, we hear things as many times as we need to. Walking, swimming, cycling, or tennis are all incredible cardiovascular exercises. Yoga and weight training are also great choices for optimal physical and mental health. Shoot for 30-45 minutes of movement a day. 5 - Mental breaks make you better . Unplugging, meditation, focus breathing, and even cat-napping, are all examples of ways to truly unwind. When the mind can rest, the body can reset and replenish as well, creating calm and peace within. Studies show that practices such as meditation might ease certain stresses like anxiety, depression, and even pain.

thing is a bad thing! Not only can you cause severe aesthetic damage to your skin, but you can also put yourself at risk for skin cancer. Your eyes are also at risk from those UV Rays, so stay in the shade during peak sun hours (12-4PM). Wear stylish sunglasses especially when driving, and don’t leave home without your SPF. Skin expert, Nicoletta Rasizzi, BSN, RN, Clinical Nurse and Director of Replenish Health and Wellness Center in Huntington, recommends at least 50 SPF for your face. 2 - Drink your way to better health . The summer is the time of year that people get dehydrated the most. It’s hot, humid, and more often, people are enjoying an iced coffee or hard seltzer over H2O. If you want to help reduce the risk of getting dehydrated, which can cause an array of health issues, make sure you are getting at least 64 ounces of water in daily. 3 - Stock up on seasonal fruit . Watermelon, berries, kiwi, and pineapples are some summertime favorites that are packed with vitamins and antioxidants! Helpful for keeping you hydrated as they are mostly water based, these fruits are a refreshing, healthy snack for a hot summer day.

Some compare summers on Long Island to being on an eight-week vacation. From beautiful beach days to backyard barbecues, the nice weather allows for us to enjoy some of Long Island’s best attributes! While being relaxed and having fun is currently a complete necessity, getting carried away with over-eating, over-drinking, and over- playing can cause unnecessary physical and emotional distress.

Here are my top 5 ways to play it safe and have a happy, healthy summer.

1 - Shade, sunglasses, and SPF are a must. Your skin loves the sun, we get it, but remember, too much of a good

Push Fitness is not your average gym. Defining what a fitness club should be, they provide over 40 innovative group fitness classes, a spin studio, modern cardio and strength training equipment, luxurious locker rooms with sauna and towel service plus personal training programs. Celebrating fifteen years in business, Push Fitness has expanded to five different locations across Long Island including College Point, Fresh Meadows, New Hyde Park, Melville and Staten Island. Surrounded by a multitude of other gyms, there are many reasons why people choose Push Fitness over others – especially in times of COVID. Not only do they demonstrate proper “Gym Etiquette,” but they are laser focused on cleanliness and having a staff that keeps members coming back. At Push Fitness, they have gone above and beyond to ensure the safety of their guests. Masks are required at all times and sanitation stations can be found in every which direction. From the moment members and staff walk in, they are required to do a 10 second COVID health screening right from their phone. This notifies of any recent travel, existing symptoms, or if they have tested positive in the last fourteen days. Temperatures are also taken at the front desk to prevent anyone who may be sick from entering.

One major safety precaution which sets Push Fitness apart from others, is the installation of iWave; the latest technology of air purifiers to help combat Coronavirus. IWave is designed to disinfect the air from mildew mold, bacteria and viruses in the air, providing hospital grade, surgical room air quality. In addition to iWave, all surfaces in the club are professionally cleaned and disinfected daily—sprayed down with SD Labs Technology products every 90 days to promote a safer environment. SD Labs Technology Products, CDC and EPA approved, has proven to be one of the most effective in fighting viruses and bacteria, and while all these new procedures might be costly, safety is the number one priority. Another major aspect that has helped Push Fitness get through the pandemic is their space. While many gyms were forced to lose machines post COVID, Push Fitness was able to utilize all equipment, and at the same time, follow the 6-foot rule. Even prior to COVID 19, equipment was spaced out in such a way where people felt comfortable at all times while working out. Their two membership types (off peak and all access), has also played a major role in helping them control volume; this way, they are never faced with overcrowding. At Push Fitness, Manager, Matt Klivansky, and staff are dedicated to providing an environment where all members feel welcome. They take pride in managing and maintaining the facilities, this way you look forward to taking that one hour break from your hectic and busy schedule, to work on your health and well-being. For beginners and non-beginners alike, they are here to help you reach your individual needs, even if it means losing those fifteen pounds you gained during quarantine!

The summer of 2021 looks a lot more promising than last year’s. With the loosening of restrictions and a large number of vaccinated people, we will all be venturing out more in an effort to return to normalcy. Stepping out for many can be as close as your own back yard. Last year, it might have been the family escape while being confined at home with only your immediate family. Now, it can again be a great gathering place for entertainment and enjoying life with your social circle. Many have used the time at home this past year for home Improvements, both inside and out. Maybe you are ready to try out that new barbecue or expanded deck. One thing is for sure, attempting any major projects in your back yard will find you facing the lack of materials, labor in great demand, and prices sky high - all effects of the pandemic. There are, however, many things you can do to make this summer memorable and fun, right at home in your own back yard. • While new patio furniture may be non-existent in the market place, replacement cushions may be. A good clean up of your furniture or a do-it-yourself restaining just requires your elbow grease! • Add some solar lighting to create evening ambiance - no electrician needed.

• Cheerful paper goods easily make your outdoor gathering pretty. • Add a Karaoke machine and you will have some home grown entertainment. • Plant your flowers now while pretty colorful annuals are still available. They enrich all the senses. • Think non-toxic and create a bug free environment for you and your guests with natural insect repellents. • Check out some inexpensive, and still available, outdoor area rugs to turn a deck seating area into an extension of your indoors. • And, don’t forget the food! Outdoor grilling can provide healthy and wholesome delights while still being delicious. Preparing individual portions in advance of side dishes & salads might reassure those still concerned about health and safety. So, relax and enjoy your outdoor space this summer. Keep it casual and fun, but most of all, appreciate the gathering of friends and extended family - something we have missed for so long.

I hope you’re having an amazing funfilled summer! I have especially been enjoying the warm weather, spending time outdoors and the long 3 day weekend that included Fourth of July! It has been a special time filled with family, friends and long days of gatherings. Now, speaking of holidays and entertaining, here’s my latest creation for continued summertime meal ideas—zucchini meatballs. A meatball totally independent of meat! These delicious zucchini meatballs will have your taste buds spiraling out of control! You will not miss the meat after taking one bite out of this veggie meatball alternative. These treats are filled with spiralized yellow and green zucchini, fresh basil, fresh parsley, fresh mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese and grated cheese. The meatballs are shaped and lightly rolled in Italian flavored bread crumbs on a cookie sheet drizzled with liquid gold (olive oil)–they crisp up nicely. Italian inspired, these tasty zucchini meatballs, with the most sumptuous moist and cheesy texture, make for the perfect appetizer. They can also be served as a light healthy main course, accompanied with a side of fresh marinara sauce and an antipasto or green salad. Your friend, Dishin’ with Denise, would remind you that cooking with care, creativity and inspiration will surely produce great recipes. Always use the freshest ingredients and your food will be bursting with flavor! This versatile summer squash has unlimited possibilities and many health benefits. Perhaps these meatballs will become “the new normal,” although as for me… I’m not ready to give up my beef! “Mangia”…Denise xoxo

RECIPE YIELDS: 24 large zucchini balls (you can make smaller for appetizers or snack size.)

8 large zucchinis (4 green, 4 yellow) lightly peeled and spiralized or buy them already cut that way. I like to cut up a bit with a scissor to make the long strands more manageable for rolling. 2 large Vidalia onions chopped and sautéed in a frying pan until soft and light brown,

1 cup fresh chopped parsley 1 cup fresh chopped basil 1 cup grated Locatelli cheese 1 lb. of fresh mozzarella (cut into cubes)

1 lb. of whole milk ricotta Pinch of red pepper flakes

Fresh black pepper 3 large beaten eggs 1 ½ cups bread crumbs + more for rolling 1/3 cup olive oil + ½ cup more for brushing cookie sheet (it helps to brown up without frying) Put your spiralized zucchini into a large pan with the olive oil and sauté for 4-5 minutes. The zucchini will release a lot of water, so drain and cool completely. When cool: Be sure the sautéed onions are completely cool as well. Now add all other ingredients and mix well. Working carefully with your hands, shape into meatballs and roll lightly into a dish of bread crumbs. Continue shaping, then place on cookie sheet and bake in a 400 degree oven for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Keep on Rolling…..xoxo

HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED: 1 8 or 9-inch pie pan 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumb (or approximately 12 sheets) 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 4 egg yolks ½ cup key lime juice 1 can sweetened condensed milk

HERE’S HOW YOU DO IT: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Using a resealable bag, crush graham crackers with a rolling pin, gently rolling and crushing the cookies into fine crumbs. Add butter and sugar to the bag, and using one hand, crush butter into cookie crumbs until well-combined. Press cookie and butter mixture into the base of your pan; using the bag or piece of plastic wrap to avoid the crumbs sticking to your fingers. Place the pie shell on top of a cookie sheet and place in the oven for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly. In a large bowl, vigorously whisk together yokes and lime juice until foamy (about 1 minute), then slowly whisk in sweetened condensed milk. Put pie shell on top of a cookie sheet. Pour the filling mixture into the prepared pie shell. Place on the center rack of the oven and bake for 18 - 20 minutes. Pie will be just set. Do not over-bake; it will firm up after it is chilled. Remove from the oven and cool at room temperature for 30 minutes. Place in the fridge uncovered for at least 2 hours before serving. After 4 hours the pie should be under 41 degrees; it is now safe to cover with plastic wrap.

Summer is officially upon us, and it’s time to enjoy your next meal outside. Whether it’s drinks and apps, or a sit-down dinner, Long Island offers an assortment of al fresco dining options.

in-house chopped salad. Looking for something more casual? The Whales Tale (and neighboring Harbor Head Brewery ) are solid options to enjoy an afterwork sunset and order some apps & drinks. I enjoy the beachy atmosphere and the fact that I can keep it casual with sandals. If you’re around Huntington Village: Vauxhall is the spot to go! Probably the most near-and-dear restaurant in Long Island for me, (bold statement, I know), I am never underwhelmed by their perfectly crafted cocktails or burgers. (Especially if PJ is bartending!) When the weather is nice, opt to sit outside and enjoy the picnic tables and people watching. You can’t go wrong here: this place is old faithful.

offerings – think steaks, seafood, pasta and fish. Skipper’s Pub has a new chic vibe, and updated menu, but still the best staff in town – a great spot to meet friends after work or on a weekend. Rockin’ Fish is my go-to for a cold beer and oysters, plus I can bring my dog. Salted on the Harbor is a weekly ritual with spritzes, the best wings around, and tons of seasonal specials. Nina’s Pizzeria is a neighborhood ‘sleeper’ – meaning I wouldn’t expect such high-quality entrees from a pizzeria. Their pizza is amazing, but make sure to also try their appetizers and entrees – unexpectedly authentic and reasonably priced. Copenhagen Bakery is close to my heart – the yummiest breakfast omelets and pastries in Northport, and my #1 pick for local breads and cookies. (Seriously, order everything.) Mill Pond House is a dreamy date night spot. My fiancé and I enjoyed our first date there (so, perhaps I’m a tad biased), but I love the combination of diversified menus, incredible waterside view and plush ambiance. I typically order sushi here, and wildly enjoy the artisanal cheese board and

When I’m choosing an outdoor spot for my next meal, it’s important to me that quality remains at the top of mind – while also incorporating a killer view and remaining comfortable for my meal. As a Northport Village resident, there are plenty of local places to keep me satisfied such as: Tim’s Shipwreck Diner , The Purple Elephant , Robke’s Country Inn , Skipper’s Pub (newly renovated), Salted on the Harbor , Rockin’ Fish , Nina’s Pizzeria and Copenhagen Bakery . If I’m feeling like a short drive, I opt for: Mill Pond House (a short drive to Centerport), The Whales Tale , and Vauxhall (a short drive to Huntington). My local Northport spots are conveniently located, offer comfy outdoor seating, and an assortment of dining options depending on what I’m craving. Tim’s Shipwreck Diner has the best breakfast burrito around, and I also love their coffee! The Purple Elephant is a great local, cozy haven for a healthier bite – yummy vegetarian options and a great Kombucha selection. Robke’s Country Inn is a short walk from our house, and I’m addicted to their old school Italian

Summer is here. Enjoy your next drink and/or meal… al fresco!

“I adore wearing gems, but not because they are mine. You can't possess radiance, you can only admire it.” Elizabeth Taylor

Looking for an excursion that doesn’t involve leaving New York City? The American Museum of Natural Histor y is thrilled to announce that on June 12th, the completely redesigned and reimagined Allison and Rober to Mignone Halls of Gems and Minerals will reopen after a four year absence. The new exhibit contains three main divisions; the Gems Hall, the Minerals Hall, and the Melissa and Keith Meister Gallery for temporary exhibitions. A spectacular 12-foot-tall sparkling amethyst geode takes your breath away upon entering. I felt extra safe be- ing fully vaccinated in con- junction with the mask man- date still in ef fect at the museum. In the dimly lit, thoughtfully arranged space, the beautifully illuminated specimens are truly magical! Some huge...some tiny...they were ALL breathtaking. The exhibit is spacious and per- fectly organized and there is truly something for everyone. Whether you love geology, histor y, jewelr y or just sci- ence in general, there are ample oppor tunities to be wowed. The interactive learn- ing stations spread out throughout the hall, and the

signage and labeling of the gems and minerals, work splendidly to enhance your visit. The Mineral Hall comprises four sections: Mineral Form- ing Environments, Minerals Fundamentals, Systemic Classifications, and Minerals & Light. The temporar y exhibit shines with “Beautiful Crea- tures,” which showcases some of the world’s most glo- rious jewelry pieces, each in- spired by animals. A genuine highlight for me was the fa- mous Car tier flamingo brooch gifted to Wallis Simp- son from Prince Edward Duke of Windsor. Timed tickets are required to visit the museum, which includes the new Mignone Halls of Gems and Minerals. Go to ticketing.amnh.org to reserve your space. So, if you would like to see the natural wonders from ex- otic destinations such as Myanmar, Kashmir, Australia, Sri Lanka and Brazil, head on over to the American Mu- seum of Natural Histor y. Most of the fun and none of the jetlag! P.S That’s 7-year old me proudly showing off my gem and mineral collection circa 1969.

This year, make sure you set the table with a bright, delightful bowl of greens that sets the tone for an enjoyable and festive meal with loved ones. This Apple, Strawberry, Blueberry Salad calls for an array of fruits, including a homemade blueberry dressing, paired with Fresh Express 5-Lettuce Mix for a fresh and flavorful base with pecan halves to add crunch. The salads are thoroughly washed, rinsed and gently dried then sealed in Keep- Crisp bags to maintain freshness. Find more salad inspiration at freshexpress.com.

With the addition of refreshing watermelon, you're opting for a flavorful fruit that includes just 80 calories and no fat while providing an excellent source of vitamin C (25%) and higher levels of lycopene (12.7 milligrams per 2-cup serving) - an antioxidant being studied for its role in sun protection - than any other fresh fruit or vegetable.
