Self-care is kind of a buzz word today. It gained a lot of popularity in 2020 when we were all faced with less to do and more time to do it. Many of us real- ized, maybe for the first time, just how little attention we gave to our own well- being, and took some steps to begin to nurture ourselves physically, emotion- ally and even spiritually.

Month, try including some of these fun, free activities into your routine just be- cause they feel good; the beauty is that they may be things you can do with other’s or if you prefer, by yourself. Really enjoy a sunset. We’re fortunate on Long Island to have so many lovely vistas to catch a glorious summer sun- set. Make a night of it and grab a blan- ket, some snacks and head to a park, harbor or any West-facing beach. See- ing the sky change colors, feeling the breeze and waiting for that special mo- ment when the sun hits the horizon, are all better than any television show. Spend it with friends, family or even by yourself, and stay late to look up at the stars. Stop by a nursery greenhouse and take time to smell the flowers. Nurseries and greenhouses are along almost every road you go down, but did you ever think to stop at one and just stroll through? Enjoy the warmth, varieties, scents, colors and butterflies. Gift your- self with an exotic flowering plant for your home or garden. Send an old friend a hand written card or letter (email and Facebook mes- sages don’t count), just to say you’re thinking of them. You know how great it feels to get a birthday card or an actual

letter in the snail mail? Do that for some- one else and the by-product will have you feeling great. It’s a wonderful way to reignite an old friendship and open the door for better communication. Try not complaining for one whole week. Okay, that’s tough. How about one whole day? For just one day, try not to complain about anything! It’s harder than you think, but a funny thing hap- pens. First, you’ll become aware of how often you do complain, then you’ll start to notice how much you actually have to be grateful for. That is self-care at its best. You can still pamper yourself with mas- sages, manicures and meditation, but try some of these refreshing activities this summer and see how much better you will feel!

Just because the pace of life is now speeding up, doesn’t mean that self- care should be put on the back burner. More than just facial masks and getting more exercise, self-care comes in a va- riety of ways. For National Wellness

A timeless crew-neck t-shirt is perfect to throw on with a pair of jeans or dress pants when you’re running late! Bananarepublicfactory.gapfactory.com has all your basics and more, in a variety of different colors. Pleated, wide leg, high waisted pants are just what you need for a comfortable bottom in exchange for your quarantine sweatpants. Shop.mango.com has some great options to choose from. Prettylittlething.us is another site worth checking out, especially since they allow you to shop by figure shape. One dress in particular that might be good for heading back to the office is the White Polka Dot Pleated Sleeveless Midi Dress. This dress can either be dressed up with some heels and jewelry or dressed down with a pair of cute sandals and cardigan for the chillier months ahead. Everyone needs a soft sweater in their wardrobe for casual Fridays. Shop lulus.com for their Crushing on Casual Beige Waffle Knit Balloon Sleeve Top. This trendy sweater has balloon sleeves with lightly gathered shoulders and extra-long fitted cuffs…perfect for the office.

Some may already be back to the daily grind, while others are still awaiting for the return back to the office. Parting ways with sweatpants after over a year of WFH (working from home), for some folks, is one of the most difficult parts (at least for me). Starting this fall, we’re going to start seeing more and more businesses requiring employees to return to the office, either full-time or with a new hybrid/in-person policy. We all knew the 30 second commute to a desk in the other room was limited, but it’s nice to know life as we knew it is back and we’re finally reverting to our pre- Covid routines. After months spent hibernating at home it’s almost hard to remember how to dress up every day, not to mention all of our work wardrobes could use a revamp from the early 2020 fashion trends. Although, there’s just something about getting dressed up to physically go into the office that makes the day feel more complete. Not to mention, we’ll also be returning back to our regular social lives— getting to chat with co-workers in person or grabbing a drink or dinner after work with friends. I started a new job during Covid-19 so seeing co-workers only through a computer screen has been the norm. I never thought I’d say this, but it’ll be strange to put bodies to faces once we all officially meet back up in person. I can almost imagine that most in person conversations will start with talking about everyone’s height. If we’ve learned anything in the past year, it’s to appreciate the little things that we might have taken for granted beforehand. For some returning back to the office attire ideas, here are some cute options for assembling a suitable outfit that will ensure tons of compliments.

Due to COVID-19, classes of college students will be moving into dorms for the first time this fall. For new dormers, it is crucial to set up an environment you will feel comfortable in. Space is limited, and the bare bones of your room may often feel drab, but a few tricks can spruce up your dorm in no time! When you first get to your dorm, be prepared to clean! The room will be dusty after having been vacant. Bleach wipes, Windex, and Swiffer will scrub the space and let you start fresh. Your bed is going to be the single most important piece of your dorm. Mattresses are often old and worn out, but a mattress pad will cushion and protect your back. Fill the area under your bed with organizer bins. Collapsible, fabric bins are inexpensive, easily transportable, and perfect for storage. Door hooks are another essential! Hooks will afford you extra closet space, as you’ll have designated space to hang towels, bathrobes, coats, and book bags. Space is scarce in these rooms, so it is up to you to make the most of what you have. If college means moving someplace with nasty winters, consider a rug. Dorm floors are unforgiving in the cold months, but a fluffy rug will protect your feet in the mornings. Rugs come in a variety of bright colors, and in woven, intricate patterns that will liven up your room.

Rough mornings are made worse by a lack of caffeine. Invest in a single-cup Keurig or electric kettle to save you from that dreaded 8 am class. To open up your space, mirrors and lights will create an illusion of depth. Most dorms do not have any significant mirrors; bringing a full-length mirror will allow you to check your outfit. Fairy, LED, and string lights have long been popular in college dorms. They add an aesthetic value for a low cost. Lining the edges of your ceiling will open the room up and add a literal glow. Ugly walls are an unfortunate reality of college dorms. Thankfully, there are plenty of ways to combat hideous plaster and cinderblock. Amazon and Etsy are well- stocked with gorgeous and inexpensive tapestries. Posters of your favorite movies and bands go on easy with Command Strips (a dorm essential!). Rather than taking up precious desk space, display beloved photos on the walls. Pinterest has countless photo- wall patterns to take inspiration from. Due to fire hazards, most colleges do not allow candles or incense in dorms. Even worse, dorm rooms get stale and stuffy fast. For a quick fix, room spray will freshen any space up. Bath and Body Works sells small bottles for cheap, and the aromatherapy scents are perfect for stressful midterm and finals weeks. For long-term solutions, diffuser sticks last seemingly forever and are readily available on Amazon and Sephora! Moving into a dorm for the first time can be daunting, but the most important thing to remember is: make the space yours, rather than trendy. Seek out comfort and functionality with a sprinkle of pizazz!

By Marc Piperno

R oughly 3 years ago two long-time friends Ryan DiPaola and John Nasta Jr. had a vision to bring something new and di fferent to the food scene. Inspired by their own personal experiences of travel ing along the Pacific Coast Highway in California, Shrimpy’s Burrito Bar was born. Opening in Massapequa Park in 2018, Shrimpy’s became an immediate success, spawning a second location right here in Hunt- ington. For me, the intrigued was immediate and prompted me to stop in for lunch. Im- pressed with their business model, I was happy to get the chance to speak with Ryan and learn more about their success. From what Ryan ex- plained to me, there is nothing they have not done in the hospitality business. From bussing tables to management, the partners have devel- oped a wel l-rounded foundation that has set the mark for Shrimpy’s growth and expansion. As Ryan explains it “To survive and thrive, you have to bring the consumer something that is unique.” Shrimpy’s Tex-Mex beach themed vibe with its’ high top communal wooded ta- bles will make you feel like you just rolled in a California surfer’s haunt.

You wi l l f ind their menu to be diverse, that wi l l keep you coming back for more. Then again, there are some popular items that you just may find addictive. From hearty Burritos to cool salads, there is something for everyone. Here are just a few we recommend; “The Shrimpy Taco – Both hard and soft shell with gri l led shrimp, cheese, guacamole, mango and pineapple salsa served with their special shrimpy sauce. “The Strong Island Bur- rito” – A two fisted steak and shrimp combo with seasoned rice, stuffed pepper and onions, corn salsa, Monterey jack/cheddar cheese, guacamole, and sour cream. My personal favorite, “The Fire Mexican Salad” – A generous size portion of mixed greens, ground beef, shredded Monterey jack/cheddar cheese, pico de gallo, sliced avocado, black beans, crushed tortilla chip with a re- freshing cilantro dressing. Shrimpy’s carries a great selection of locally brewed beers, homemade margaritas, sangria with a wide variety of fountain drinks too! The Shrimpy’s Burrito Bar philosophy for success has always been founded on delivering the freshest and most flavorful food, all made to order. As owners Ryan and John put it, “in the food business, you only get one chance to get it right and this is some- thing we take great pride in”. As someone who has frequent Shrimpy’s and has worked with thousands of smal l businesses over 3 decades, there is no doubt that these forward-thinking business owners will be taking their Shrimpy’s biz to bigger and better places for many years to come.

If you’ve been enjoying the growth of standard summer crops this year, you may have a hankering to try something a little different next season. Sweet potatoes are much-loved but can be a finnicky crop to grow at home, especially in cooler growing regions like Long Island. Here are some of my best tips and tricks from years of trial and error. Let my mistakes serve as your what-not-to-do guide! Trellising: While not a conventional trellised crop, keeping sweet potato vines on a trellis, garden border fence, or even in a hanging pot can save space on these notorious space-hogs. Trellising makes the resulting tubers larger when there is a shorter growing season. By not setting down as many roots, those that do establish, produce larger potatoes in a shorter timeframe. The vines themselves are aesthetically pleasing, with pretty purple and white flowers, so they are decorative as well. Use grow pots: Nurseries have realized that many people want to grow sweet potatoes at home, but few have acres to dedicate to a single crop, and home gardeners enjoy growing various vegetables.The result has been the development of pot-friendly varieties of sweet potatoes, and grow pots are the perfect vessel. Because the plant isn't able to set down new tubers, pots encourage the plant to

concentrate its growing energy.The openings on the side of the grow pots let you check on growth and harvest as-needed.This allows the plant to keep producing post-harvest, instead of pulling up the whole vine at once.The biggest bonus is that the pots eliminate hours of back-breaking harvesting. Watch the weather: Here on Long Island, we love to talk about the weather because it can be unpredictable, particularly during spring and early fall. It’s also really important when it comes to vegetable gardens. It is critical to pull all sweet potatoes before the first frost.While they typically go deep, any near the surface (typically the oldest and largest) will get frostbite. Be careful at harvest time: Sweet potatoes like to grow deep, sometimes more than 6 inches below the soil surface. Be sure to dig up the entire planting area to make sure you don’t miss any. Use a gentle hand when harvesting. Even garden gloves with grip support may tear the skin until the potatoes have cured. Don’t use any tool, otherwise you’re likely to lose a lot of your harvest to damage. For curing, place in a single layer, not touching, in a paper bag. Let them sit at least a few days for enhanced sweetness; otherwise, they can be eaten right away!

central Islip, they also boast a beautiful showroom on route 110 in Farmingdale, catering to customers Is- land wide. Aside from carrying some of the finest red- wood furniture in America, the main goal at Kaufman Allied is to provide a product where wonderful out- door memories are made. From wicker, cast alu- minum, extruded aluminum with sling, wood, recycled plastic, and resin, all the way to replacement cushions and umbrellas, Kaufman Allied has it all! Offering high quality outdoor furniture at fair prices, is what Kaufman Allied is known for. Here, cus- tomers are given the option to select from different frame styles, pick their own fabrics and custom order. It is not just, “What you see is what you get.” The bonus is that every piece of cast aluminum and alu- minum with sling furniture comes with an application of corrosion block protection to extend its life. Free Delivery is also complementary on all orders of $1000 or more; this includes an unprecedented in-home service for the duration of the product's warranty, for as long as the furniture stays within Nassau and Suf- folk counties. As third generation, John Delaney puts it, “My fa- ther started working at Kaufman Allied when he was twelve years old, and I take pride in continuing in his footsteps. Even during the toughest of times, we have taken quick steps to model our business based on the needs of our customers. No doubt, Mr. Kauf- man would be proud!” While the outdoor patio world has changed dra- matically, so have the minds at Kaufman Allied. As old fashioned as it sounds, customers truly are number one and get treated as such during and after every sale is made. It is their service that separates Kauf- man Allied from the competition. A reputation that spans over 80 years should give you a sense of com- fort, knowing that your next outdoor home shopping experience will be the right one, with Kaufman Allied.

N ot many local businesses can say they have been around for 80 + years, but Kaufman Al- lied Patio Furniture of Farmingdale is cer- tainly one exception. It all started with Mr. Kaufman, who out of hobby, opened his own business making and selling redwood fences and lamp posts. Shortly thereafter, as the needs of the community grew, so did Kaufman Allied. Consumer demand began to explode and with that, Kaufman Allied started manufacturing outdoor furni- ture from the same redwood he began with. As a direct-to-consumer manufacturer, it aided them in building long standing relationships with major companies like Telescope and North Cape, ul- timately making them dealers for some of the finest outdoor furniture manufacturers in the world. Serving the community for eight decades now, there is certainly a reason Kaufman Allied remains number one in their market. At Kaufman Allied, they are here to help you transform your backyard into the living space you always dreamt of. As the owner tells me, “There is not a single piece of furniture we sell that we would not recommend to our own family and friends.” With their long-standing factory warehouse in

It’s summer so keep your dessert simple and sweet! There’s truly nothing as easy and delicious as grilled peaches and cream. I just returned from a visit to South Carolina where the peach stands were abundant and the peaches were heavy, ripe and oh-so-sweet! Upon returning back to N.Y., I purchased a container to tuck away freshly picked peaches into my suitcase; I flew home with that sweet summer fragrance bursting through my bag. The airline attendants simply smiled as the aroma breezed by them. I just love that sweet southern hospitality … it’s entirely “peachy”. Whether at home or visiting, summer means easy living, cooking and grilling along with dining outdoors with friends and family. Diversify your grilling and experiment with fresh fruits as they make for the perfect dessert or side dish. The heat of the grill intensifies the natural sugars in most fruit, softening its peachy flesh and caramelizing it into sheer sweetness. The creamy mascarpone (soft Italian cream cheese but sweeter) topping, is used instead of whipped cream, providing a rich and creamy indulgent element. Combine the welcomed crunch of toasted walnuts and a drizzle of honey, served with fresh mint from your own garden and it’s tantalizing! Grill em’ before they’re GONE! As you can tell, I’m “keen” on peaches. XOXO, Denise

4 medium - large ripe peaches (halved and pitted) 2/3 cup walnuts 1 tsp. vegetable oil 1 cup mascarpone cheese beaten with a fork adding 3T of ½ & ½ ¼ cup honey 8 fresh mint sprigs 2T butter, melted with a sprinkle of sugar and cinnamon Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Clean and lightly oil the grill. Mix the mascarpone cheese in a bowl and fork beat with the ½ & ½ until smooth. In frying pan, add a touch of butter and toast the walnuts; then break into pieces. Brush each peach halve with melted butter and sugar mixture, then grill peaches cut side down for 4-5 minutes. Flip with tongs and grill for 2 more minutes or until peaches are tender. Place onto a platter. Fill with cream mixture and drizzle with toasted walnuts, honey and garnish with fresh mint. ENJOY!
