IF RESOLUTIONS WERE EASY, WE’D ALL BE FITand trim, with no debts or vices, perfectly organized closetsand oodles of quality time to lavish on family.

The reality, of course, is that change is hard, un-wavering discipline gets tiring and our best-laid Januaryplans are often set aside by March. Still, that’s no reason notto try—after all, success is sweetest when the task at hand isa challenge. If you’re already suffering from some slightlyflagging motivation, let us help you get fired up once again.

To help you on your journey, we filled this issuewith all manner of tips, advice and inspiration. For that“get fit” goal, for instance, we called on star trainer (andbig-time hunk) Jessie Pavelka from Lifetime’s TV showDietTribe. To put an end to those “I don’t have the time”excuses, we asked him to design effective workouts youcan complete in 10, 20, 30 or 60 minutes. Find his step-by-step plans on page 28.

If healthful eating is also on your New Year’s agenda,check out “Eat Well, Head to Toe,” page 24, where you’ll find foods you can eat to protect brains, bones,breasts and more.

Those who hope to dial down their stress levels canturn to “Give ‘Peaceful’ a Chance” on page 26, in whichwe share six strategies to help you relax.

Kick your style up a notch by following the coif tipsof celebrity hairstylist—and New Jersey resident—Tabatha Coffey on page 32 or with one of the many prod-ucts we showcase in “Health ’n’ Beauty Booty,” page 18.

Don’t see your goal of choice above? Check out“Resolution Solutions!” on page 23, where we offer expertadvice on eight common New Year’s vows.

Finally, this issue we also start the voting for oursecond annual Readers’ Choice Awards! Find the poll andhow to enter your picks on page 21. Later this year we’llcelebrate all of the winners with a can’t-miss party andexpo, complete with treats from all your favorite Morris

places. Details are still to come, butwe hope to see you there!

Some say that the mere mention of

chocolate can elevate one’s mood.

Imagine, then, the chemical reaction

that occurs when the words “choco-

late” and “outlet” appear together.

That’s what happens each Friday in

Cedar Knolls, when the MOSTLY

CHOCOLATE.COM outlet store

(1-800-548-6882, www.mostly

chocolate.com) is open for business.

MostlyChocolate.com is an

online retailer of exquisite choco-

lates from around the world. All

sweets are made with no chemicals,

stabilizers or artificial flavorings or

colorings. The outlet is a no-frills

showroom offering an approximately

25 percent discount.

Among the many options are

Lebkuchen-Schmidt from Germany,

Pernigotti Italian Chocolates and

Butlers Irish Chocolates—chocolates

that can be found at retailers, but

not easily. “You won’t find our

products in big-box places, only at

specialty stores,” says brand

manager Alysse Camarda.

“They’re a more

sophisticated chocolate,

for a palate that’s a

little bit more refined,”

says Vickie Michel of

Madison. “And if

you really need

something, you can

call ahead and

they’ll have it

ready for you.”

The folks at SEATON

HACKNEY STABLES in

Morristown (973-655-

3535, www.seaton

hackney.com) want you

to do the kind of horse-

back riding you’d like:

Want to own and care

for a horse, but don’t

have the space—or

time? Check out the sta-

ble’s Equishare program,

in which you “time-

share” a horse. Perhaps

you used to ride, but

need a brush-up? Try

the relaxed, sociable

“Rusty Riders” or

“Desperate Horsewives”

programs. Or are you a newbie who’s always wanted to give trotting a try?

Check out the wide variety of lessons, available for all skill levels.

The winter season at Seaton Hackney has certain advantages, says

owner Marc Schumacher: Because there’s a natural decrease in ridership,

the Equishare terms can be more flexible than at other times of year.

“And there’s nothing more beautiful than taking a horse out in a pristine

white environment,” he says.

Seaton Hackney also offers birthday parties; camps; fall, winter and

spring “Troops” (in which students advance through skill levels); as well

as programs for special-needs children. “We can start riders as young as

3 years old,” Schumacher adds.

For any age level, the stables provide a good place to socialize,

clients assert. “There’s a lot of camaraderie among the riders,” says

Caroline Hatton of Chatham, who rides a former Amish

carthorse named Tiny three days a week as part of the

Equishare program. “Everybody talks to each other

and it’s just a big friendly barnyard atmosphere.”

The old Dover High School building may seem an

unlikely Mecca. But in its new life as the JOE

KUBERT SCHOOL OF CARTOON AND GRAPHIC

ART (973-361-1327, www.kubertsworld.com)—the

only institute of its kind in the world—the building

has become a haven for aspiring comic artists.

“People looking at a comic book would

never guess the numerous abilities you need

to draw one,” says founder Joe Kubert, 83, an

icon in the field who has worked on such classics

as Tarzan, Batman and The Flash. “Drawing is the

easiest part.”

While those with a casual interest can take one

of the school’s correspondence courses (topics

include “Heroes and SuperHeroes” and “Super

Villains”), the intensive three-year main curriculum is

designed for those with true comic career aspirations.

“The school really forms you as a future

employee,” says Emi Yonemura, a third-year student

from Sacramento. In the first two years, attendees

focus on fundamentals of drawing, layout, lettering

and—trickiest of all, students say—transforming a

script into a visual story. By the third year, they

begin developing their own styles.

Yonemura hopes to find work

as a comic inker next year. Others

will follow fellow alumni into com-

panies like Warner Brothers,

Cartoon Network and even

Hallmark greeting cards. Kubert

grad Derek Drymon, for instance, is

creative director at SpongeBob

Squarepants; class of ’89 alum Jim

Keefe draws the Flash Gordon Sunday

comic strip; and Brandon Vietti is the

Emmy-winning director of The

Batman animated series. Even

Kubert himself still draws: This

spring, D.C. Comics will publish his

graphic novel Dong Xoai: Vietnam,

1965, based on the story of a U.S.

Special Forces unit. “This business

of cartooning—once it grabs you,

it’s hard to let it go,” he says.

Perhaps your longtime friends have moved out of the area. Or maybe you’re recently divorced and looking to re-enter thesocial scene. Or maybe you just want to socialize with somenew people your own age. But where to start?

Enter NEW JERSEY PROFESSIONALS (www.njprofessionals.org), a social networking group launched inAugust for career-minded New Jerseyans ages 35 to 50.

“We offer everything from wine tastings to networkingevents to single mingles, happy hours and hikes,” says founderLaura Occhipinti. “The idea is to bring people together tomake friends.”

The group is an offshoot of Occhipinti’s first venture,New Jersey Young Professionals, launched in 2004, whichboasts some 2,000 members ages 21 to 39. “A lot of thosemembers were ‘aging out’ of NJYP, so they requested I startsomething for people over 39,” she says.

Events take place at coffee shops, restaurants, bars andparks throughout the state. A one-time membership fee is$21.99; you don’t have to join to attend events, but member-ship offers perks (admittance to members-only events, forinstance, or lower cover charges). In addition to its 300 payingmembers, the group has some 3,000 people on its mailing list.

“I joined the NJP for the opportunity to bothmake friends and network for business,” says memberJustin Powell, 41, of Randolph, who works in Webdevelopment and online marketing. “I’ve found thegroup to be a great mix of folks from varied industries—from corporate to entrepreneurial—and the eventsoffer an easy way to connect with each other.”

Part of the credit for the BUBBA ROSE BISCUIT COMPANY(862-209-4677, www.bubbarose.com) must go to Rose, Bob andWeeble. They’re the dogs (a greyhound, a rescued pit bull and a ShihTzu with a heart condition, respectively) who inspired Jessica andErik Talley to begin their business creating organic, homemade caninetreats such as customizable birthday cakes ($24.95), individual “pup-cakes” ($6.95) and a variety of cookies, among other tasty offerings.

The Muddy Paws cookies, for example ($5.95 for 16), featurecarob and peanut butter, while Valentine’s Day brings heart-shapedOld School Romance treats, with red chicken, yogurt and carob. Thestore also sells broken cookies, labeled “Table Scraps,” for half price.

“We launched just before the pet food recall in 2007,” saysJessica. “Owners were reassured that we are very particular about ouringredients, which are all from the U.S.” The items contain no chem-icals, sugar, salt or artificial flavors or colors. Meat-based treats comefrom free-range animals with no hormones, antibiotics or nitrites.

“When you walk by the store, it smells so good you can’t pos-sibly not go in and buy your dog a treat,” says Morristown residentNicole Vonderheide. “My three dogs even know the phrase, ‘Wantto go to Bubba Rose?’ They head right for the door.”

A portion of Bubba Rose’s profits goes to local ani-mal rescue operations. And the Talleys recently createdtheir own nonprofit, the All Heart Fund, to raise moneyto cover costly medical expenses for adoptable pets.Credit Weeble—now gone but not forgotten—for that.

VOW THIS WILL BE THE YEAR YOU’LL FINALLY STICK TO YOUR NEW YEAR’S GOALS

OF SELF-IMPROVEMENT? DON’T GO IT ALONE—TAKE THIS ADVICE FROM THE EXPERTS

ON HOW TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS WITH 8 POPULAR PLEDGES.

Resolution solutions!

Resolution: Quit smokingStrategy: Meet with yourdoctor to determine the besttreatment option for you, suchas over-the-counter nicotinereplacement therapies or pre-scription medications, says theNational Cancer Institute.Once you begin treatment,remove all tobacco productsfrom your home, car and work;avoid situations that triggercravings; find new hobbies tooccupy your time; and writedown your reasons for quitting,reviewing them whenever temp-tation strikes. Reward progresswith a massage or dinner out—but remember your greatestreward is a healthier life!

Resolution: Work out regu-larly Strategy: Follow thesesteps from the Mayo Clinic (butget your doctor’s OK first):Assess your fitness to gagefuture progress by measuringthings like your pulse rate after a1-mile walk and the time ittakes to complete that walk.Create a workout schedule thateach week incorporates at least 5 hours of moderate or 21⁄2 hoursof vigorous aerobic activity, andtwo 20- to 30-minute strength-training sessions. Start slowly,gradually increasing your rou-tine’s intensity. Re-assess yourfitness after six weeks, and againevery three to six months. (Needmore guidance? See page 30.)

Resolution: Break your techaddiction Strategy: Can’tstop checking e-mail andTwitter? If technology is affect-ing your work or personal rela-tionships, it’s time to cut back,says Gary Small, M.D., profes-sor of psychiatry at the UCLASemel Institute and author ofiBrain: Surviving the Technolog-ical Alteration of the ModernMind. Keep a log of how muchtime you spend online daily,then shave a few minutes offeach day. Set aside specific timesfor tasks like checking e-mail, sothey won’t haunt you through-out your day. And devote moretime to offline activities, such asmeeting friends for coffee.

Resolution: Get out of debtStrategy: Keep a diary ofyour daily expenses for one totwo months to help determinewhether your expenses exceedyour income, says Evan S.Branfman, associate financialadviser with Ameriprise Finan-cial Services Inc. in Melville,New York. If you’re spendingtoo much, look for ways to cutback. Plagued by credit carddebt? Try calling your creditcard company to negotiate areduction in interest rates, saysBranfman. If your debt woesseem too overwhelming tohandle yourself, consider sched-uling a consultation with afinancial adviser.

Resolution: Lose weightStrategy: First get your doc-tor’s approval, then considermeeting with a dietitian todevelop an exercise and calorieplan, says Andrea Spivack, aregistered dietitian with theAlbert J. Stunkard WeightManagement Program at theUniversity of Pennsylvania.Keep a food journal and sur-round yourself with supportivepeople and motivating items,such as fresh fruit. Also makeyourself accountable, addsSpivack, whether to a dietitian, agroup leader or a friend who’sexpecting you at the gym.

Resolution: Declutter yourhome Strategy: Start bychoosing one specific area totackle at a time and gatheringall necessary supplies, such asgarbage cans and recycling bins,says Laura Leist, president ofthe National Association ofProfessional Organizers. Next,sort through all items in thatarea, eliminate what you nolonger need and purchase andinstall any additional containersor shelves you think the arearequires. Once you’ve success-fully organized your space, keepclutter in check by repeatingthis process every few months.

Resolution: Improve yourposture Strategy: “Poor pos-ture causes a tremendous strainon the spine,” says chiropractorCynthia Vaughn of the AustinChiropractic Center in Austin,Texas. When standing, avoidslouching by keeping the centerof your ears directly above thecenter of your shoulders, saysDr. Vaughn. At the office, sitwith your buttocks and thesmall of your back pushed intothe back of your chair, and keepyour feet flat on the floor withyour knees at a 90-degree angleto the floor (adjust chair heightif necessary).

Resolution: Stop runninglate Strategy: Start prepar-ing for your workday the nightbefore, from selecting youroutfit to making your lunch,says Atlanta-based personalproductivity expert PeggyDuncan, author of The TimeManagement Memory Jogger. Ifyou’re still running late, set anearlier wake-up alarm to giveyourself more time to get ready.To avoid tardiness to appoint-ments and social engagements,record the dates and times ofall your commitments in anagenda book or an electroniccalendar. ■

EAT WELL, HEAD-TO-TOE6 foods that do your body good—in some surprising ways

EyesEat this: SWEET POTATOESHere’s why: They’re a greatsource of beta-carotene, anantioxidant that promotes eye health and can help prevent cataracts.Did you know? A sweetpotato also contains almosttwice the recommended dailyallowance of vitamin A,which is essential to vision.

BrainEat this: APPLESHere’s why: They contain aflavonoid called quercetinthat has been shown in stud-ies of mice to protect braincells against injury from oxidation. High apple consumption has also beenlinked to lower-than-averagerates of one kind of stroke.Did you know? Apple-juicestudies suggest that applesalso may heighten the brain’sproduction of a key neuro-transmitter called acetyl-choline, improving memory.

BreastEat this: SALMONHere’s why: Salmon is a richsource of vitamin D, andresearch indicates that boosting your intake of thisvitamin can lower yourbreast-cancer risk.Did you know? Salmon alsocontains omega-3 fatty acids,which may add to that cancer-fighting benefit (expertsaren’t yet unanimous) andwhich otherwise amount to a health-effects home run, benefiting arteries, bloodpressure, brain, eyes, metabo-lism, muscles and more.

HeartEat this: STRAWBERRIESHere’s why: They reduceinflammation in the arteriesand increase levels of theheart-healthy vitamin folatein the blood. Did you know? Strawberriescan help whiten teeth! Theycontain malic acid, whichacts as an astringent, buffingaway discoloration from not-so-pearly whites. Combine amashed strawberry with ahalf-tablespoon of bakingsoda and apply the mixture toyour teeth, leaving it on forfive minutes, then brushingaway with toothpaste. (Justdon’t do this more than oncea week—you risk damagingtooth enamel.)

StomachDrink this: GREEN TEAHere’s why: It may fightstomach cancer: A recentstudy found that women who drank five or more cupsof green tea a day were 20percent less likely to developthe disease.Did you know? Generally,green tea has just one-third to one-half the caffeine ofblack tea.

2 4 / F E B R U A R Y 2 0 1 0

BonesEat this: BROCCOLIHere’s why: It’s not onlystrong in bone-strengtheningcalcium, it’s also loaded withvitamin C, which is essentialfor the maintenance andrepair of bones. A cup ofbroccoli boasts more thantwice the recommended dailyallowance of C—more thanis found in an orange. Did you know? Broccoli alsocontains two phytonutrientsthat may help the body fightcancer—one by suppressingtumor-cell growth, the otherby clearing the system of cancer-causing substances.

7 fat-beatersTalk about the best of both worlds: Researchers have discovered that certain foods anddrinks actually help your body burn fat more efficiently—so you can nibble and whittleyour middle at the same time. Here are 7 such items and their claims to fame:

What: BLUEBERRIESWhy: A recent University ofMichigan study suggests that thephytochemicals in blueberriesinfluence the genes that controlhow we process glucose, therebyhelping our bodies store andburn fat more effectively. Calories per serving: 84 caloriesper cup

What: OATMEALWhy: High in fiber, oatmeal helps yourbody burn calories by boosting yourmetabolism. In 2008, a Penn StateUniversity weight-loss study reportedthat people whose diets were rich inwhole grains lost significantly moreabdominal fat than those who ate onlyrefined grains. The whole-grain groupalso had a big reduction in C-reactiveprotein levels, a heart-disease marker.Calories per serving: 159 calories per cup

What: CHILI PEPPERSWhy: They get their heat from acomponent called capsaicin,which has been shown to sup-press appetite and boost metab-olism. One Dutch study reportedthat subjects ate fewer caloriesand rated themselves as moresatisfied when they consumedcapsaicin half an hour beforeeach meal. Calories per serving: 19 caloriesfor each pepper

What: ALMONDSWhy: Researchers believethat the body may notfully absorb the fat inalmonds and that the cellwalls of the nuts may actas a barrier against fat.Besides lowering choles-terol and reducing the riskof heart disease, almondscan lessen food cravingsby making you feel fuller. Calories per serving: 163calories per ounce

What: GREEN TEAWhy: This soothing brew contains epigallocatechingallate (EGCG), one of a group of antioxidants called catechins. Research indicates that catechins increaseenergy expenditure and fat-burning, and may help con-trol weight. A 2007 review of research on the subjectconcluded that consuming five to six cups of green teaper day does indeed have metabolic benefits.Calories per serving: 0 calories per cup

What: AVOCADOWhy: This fruit is another excel-lent source of abdominal fat–reducing monounsaturated fattyacids, which in a study reported inDiabetes Care were shown tocurb “central body fat distribu-tion.” Avocados also boast beta-sitosterol, a plant-based fat thatmay lower cholesterol. Calories per serving: 80 caloriesfor 1⁄4 avocado

What: OLIVE OILWhy: Olive oil is high in monounsaturated fattyacids—a type of healthy fat recently found to helpshrink the accumulation of belly fat. Opt for extra-virgin, the least-processed form of the oil, whichcontains the most antioxidants. Calories per serving: 119 calories per tablespoon

CAN’T PICTURE YOUR LIFE WITHOUT CONTINUAL STRESS?

HERE’S HOW YOU CAN—AND WHY YOU SHOULD

b y J e n n i f e r C e n i c o l a

Give ‘PEACEFUL’a chance

1TAKE A MEDITATIONBREAK. Whether or not you’reseeking spiritual enlightenment,

a few calming moments of silence canhave a wonderful soothing effect.

The jury’s still out on just howhealth-promoting meditation is, but some stud-ies have found it reduces blood pressure, heart rate andcholesterol levels. A recent report published inthe American Journal of Hypertension, forinstance, found that people at risk forhypertension who practiced 20 minutesof meditation daily lowered their bloodpressure significantly and reduced by52 percent their risk of developinghypertension in the future. Experts sus-pect that meditation brings benefits by

quieting the sympathetic nervous sys-tem (responsible for our “fight-or-flight”response) and amping up the parasym-pathetic nervous system (which slows

heart rate and breathing and improvesblood flow), notes the National Center for

Complementary and Alternative Medicine, adivision of the National Institutes of Health. The

result: more day-to-day serenity.Techniques vary widely, but most

involve finding a comfortable position in aquiet spot, then either focusing on your

breathing or repeating a mantra. Youmight begin with just five minutes a day, gradually working up to 20 min-utes or more. A wide variety of get-

started manuals can be found at yourlocal bookstore.

A pressure-filled life is about as American as apple pie and Friends

reruns—so much so that many of us wear our stress as a badge of honor,

accepting the cranky impatience, throbbing headaches and sleepless

nights as the price we pay for how in-demand our time is. But the possible

long-term effects of stress (a weakened immune system, blood clots, high

blood pressure and heart disease among them) are nothing to boast

about—or flirt with. So in this issue’s “fresh start” spirit, we offer 6 ways

to ease your troubled mind—and, in the process, do your body good.

Stress_MRR_0110_v1.jc 1/5/10 4:59 PM Page 16


2SMELL THE ROSES. It’s notjust their pretty petals thatcause flowers to brighten your

mood—their fragrance may actuallycalm tensed-out nerves. In Japaneseresearch published last year, miceexposed to stress-inducing situationshad lower levels of neutrophils and lymphocytes—two types of stress-relatedimmune cells—when they sniffed linalool, a scented compound found in blooms. They also showed reduced activity in morethan 100 genes linked to the stress re-sponse. With additional research, thisdemonstrated physiological reactionmay add credence to the thera-peutic claims long made by propo-nents of aromatherapy.

3PUT THE KETTLE ON. You’veprobably heard that a spot of hot teacan soothe frazzled nerves—now there’s

research to support the claim. British investiga-tors (of course) divided 75 men into twogroups, one of which sipped black teadaily for six weeks, while the otherdrank a caffeinated placebo. After thisperiod, the men were asked to complete a stressful task. Researcherstook blood samples an hour later andfound that the tea drinkers had lowerlevels of the stress hormone cortisol,indicating that they recovered from thestress more quickly than did the tea-free group.

4GET SOME EXERCISE. It’s well-documented that physical exertioncan help alleviate stress, so why

not try something new? Setting a goalfor yourself can help you stay moti-vated, and Cool Running’s “Couch to5K” plan (go to www.c25k.com andclick “Cool Running”) is a great placeto start. Designed for the nonrunner, thisnine-week program eases you in (you’ll do

no more than 60 seconds of jogging atfirst), but gradually gets you race-readyfor a 5K competition.

Those with more of a techieleaning might opt for iFitness, a $1.99iPhone app that offers detailed instruc-

tions (in pictures, text and video) onsome 230 exercises. Choose the area of the

body you want to target, and pick the moveyou like best; design your own workouts by com-

bining individual exercises into different rou-tines. Just slip your phone into your gym

bag and you’re ready to go! (Be sure toconsult with your doctor or otherhealthcare professional before embark-ing on a new exercise program.)

5CHUCKLE. There’s good rea-son why your mood improveswhen you’ve been giggling over

30 Rock or scanning The Onion’s headlines.The Mayo Clinic reports that laughter has a pos-

itive impact on your stress response, leading to amore relaxed feeling. Chuckles can also stim-

ulate your heart, lungs and muscles andeven ease stomachaches, thanks to their

positive effects on digestion. Personally,we love any medical advice that deemswatching Animal House (Bravo’s toppick on its “100 Funniest Movies of All

Time” list) time judiciously spent.

6GO HIGH-TECH. Sure, ventingon your cell phone or zoning out to your iPod might make you feel

better, but what about a handheld devicedesigned to help you chill? HeartMath’s

emWave Personal Stress Reliever ($199)has a sensor that measures your stresslevels based on breathing and changesin heart rhythm. The device thenguides you through reducing yourstress via breathing exercises and other

techniques. A colorful display showsyour progress as you go so you can adjust

as needed. ■

ON LIFETIME’S HIT REALITY SHOW

DietTribe, personal trainer Jessie Pavelka

helps five real-life friends lose weight

while juggling jobs, family and other

struggles. It’s a premise many of us can

relate to, as our own busy schedules leave

little time—and motivation—for exercise.

But the truth is you don’t have to set aside

large chunks of time to reap the benefits

of fitness: According to the Centers for

Disease Control and Prevention, exercis-

ing in shorter bursts throughout the day

still does your body good. So Morris

Health & Life asked Pavelka to design

workout routines of four different lengths

to give you a chance to choose what

works best for you. (Remember: Always

check with your physician before starting

an exercise routine.)

IN A TIME CRUNCH? STAR TRAINER JESSIE PAVELKA SUGGESTS

10-, 20-, 30- AND 60-MINUTE ROUTINES

10-MINUTE WORKOUT“Even though 10 minutes isn’t a lot of time, you can stillget your blood pumping and your heart rate up,” saysPavelka. “For great results, try interval training on a treadmill.”

• Walk for 1 minute at a moderate to fast pace.

• Jog or sprint for 1 minute.

• Repeat this pair of steps four more times.

Kick it up a notch! “If you’re in good shape, challengeyourself by increasing speed and incline,” says Pavelka.

20-MINUTE WORKOUT“Here’s a quick routine you can do on your lunch hour that helps burn fat and build muscle,” saysPavelka. “You can do these exercises practically anywhere—all you need are some dumbbells and your-self! If you’re a beginner, start off with light weights that aren’t too taxing, and feel free to take shortbreaks between exercises.”

• DO 3 SETS OF SQUATS (15–20 REPETITIONS PER SET, PIC-TURED LEFT): Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart.Keeping your chest up, bend your knees and lower yourbehind as if you’re sitting in a chair. Do not let your knees jutout past your toes. Return to a standing position. Repeat.

• DO 3 SETS OF PUSH-UPS (15–20 REPS/SET): Lie chest-down on the floor with your hands flat on the ground beneathyour shoulders, your legs straight and your toes tucked under.Keeping your body straight, press into your hands to raiseyour torso and legs off the ground, then bend your elbows tolower yourself back toward the floor, stopping before yourbody reaches the ground. Repeat.

• DO 3 SETS OF LUNGES (15–20 REPS/SET, PICTURED BOTTOM LEFT): Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.Step forward with your right leg, bending your knees untilboth legs are at approximately 90-degree angles. Push upwith your right leg to return to the starting position. Repeatwith the left leg.

• DO 3 SETS OF BENT-OVER ROWS (15–20 REPS/SET):Standing with your knees slightly bent and your feet aboutshoulder-width apart, hold a dumbbell in each hand. Keepyour arms fully extended so the dumbbells hang straightdown. Bend forward at your hips so your chest is leaningover your feet. Keeping your torso stationary, bring yourelbows straight back to approximately a 90-degree angle, sothat the dumbbells stop at your sides. Return to start posi-tion and repeat.

• DO 3 SETS OF SIDE LUNGES (15–20 REPS/SET): Stand withfeet together facing forward, hands on your hips. Place yourright foot out to the side, away from your body, bending yourright knee as you do so. Keep your chest up and make surethat your knee does not extend past your toes. Push into yourright leg to return to the starting position, then repeat withyour left leg.

• DO 3 SETS OF SHOULDER PRESSES (15–20 REPS/SET): Siton a bench or chair and hold a dumbbell in each hand. Bendyour elbows and raise your hands up to shoulder height so thedumbbells are positioned next to your ears. Keeping your backstraight, push the dumbbells up until your arms are extendedoverhead. Lower the dumbbells to shoulder height. Repeat.

Kick it up a notch! As you get stronger, try forgoing breaksbetween exercises—for example, going from squats straightinto a set of push-ups, says Pavelka.

60-MINUTE WORKOUT“If you have time to enjoy a full hour’s workout,here’s one that I do for myself and my clients thatcombines intense cardio with some good resis-tance training,” says Pavelka. “The routine may bestrenuous for some, so if you don’t get through allthe exercises at first, just keep working at it.” Youcan take a break between circuits, he adds; justaim for each circuit to take about 10 minutes.

Start with stretching and 5 to 10 minutes of walkingto warm up.

CIRCUIT 1:• DO 3 SETS OF SQUATS (15–20 REPETITIONSPER SET): Stand with your legs shoulder-widthapart. Keeping your chest up, bend your knees andlower your behind as if you’re sitting in a chair. Donot let your knees jut out past your toes. Return toa standing position. Repeat.

A CUT above

AS A CHILD GROWING UP IN SURFERS Paradise, Australia, Tabatha Coffey spent much of herfree time cutting her Barbies’ hair into funky coifs andstyling the tresses of any friend willing to sit still longenough. She vividly recalls early trips to the beauty parlorwith her mom.

“I loved the smell of the salon, seeing the transfor-mation of the people in those ‘special’ chairs and how allthe women looked so happy when they left,” says the 42-year-old Fort Lee resident. “From the beginning, itseemed like this was what I was meant to do.”

And apparently that was true: Having run herown thriving Ridgewood-based salon, Industrie HairGurus, for the past eight years, the outspoken stylistrecently became the star of two hit reality shows on TV’sBravo channel, Shear Genius and Tabatha’s SalonTakeover, the latter of which recently finished up its second season. As a representative for Joico, a hair-careproducts company, she’s traveled the world educatingother hairdressers. And as a respected beauty consultant,she is often quoted in the world’s top fashion magazinessuch as Marie Claire.

Just how did the plucky blonde embark on a careerthat would take her literally across the globe? Coffeystarted early, for one thing: At age 14, she got her firstsummer job sweeping the floors of a salon in her home-town, a small suburb on Australia’s famous Gold Coast.One year later she began an apprenticeship program atThe Australian Technical College–Gold Coast. The cur-riculum was demanding, requiring her to attend classes,sit for exams and gain practical experience by working atthe nearby Stephen Pratt salon.

“Fifteen was a bit young to do all that,” admitsCoffey. “But it made sense, because I always knew it wasthe work I wanted to pursue.”

After graduating, Coffey realized that to furtherher education she had to make a drastic move. “Londonwas really the mecca of hairdressing, so I left Australia

when I was 19 to start training and working at the VidalSassoon Academy,” she says. This was a period ripe withinspiration, and Coffey credits her growth in large part tothe mane masters under whom she studied. “My mentorsvalued the integrity of their craft,” she explains. “It’s notabout coming in at nine, cutting someone’s hair andgoing home at five. A person can be transformed in thehands of a good hairdresser. There’s honor in that—butalso great responsibility.”

Coffey used her newly sharpened skills to managea salon in London’s affluent Kensington neighborhood.“Lots of interesting people and personalities walkedthrough that door,” she explains. “I had clients whoworked at Buckingham Palace or were related to theQueen. Another time I cut the hair of a Turkish princess.”

Such variety helped Coffey develop the maxim bywhich she still abides: There’s no such thing as a perfectcookie-cutter haircut. “Trends come and go, but theydon’t fit everyone,” she says. “I want to give each personthe best possible style for their face and hair type.”

Eventually the bustle of London became weari-some, and Coffey decided it was time for another bigchange. “I had never been to America before, but I had family in New Jersey so I decided to give the movea try.”

Though the adjustment was initially difficult, thestylist soon found much to love about the Garden State.“I don’t understand why New Jersey sometimes gets a badrap!” she says, laughing. “It has incredible clothing bou-tiques, great doctors and fantastic restaurants.” Whenworking at her salon she regularly orders lunch from twonearby spots, Best of Everything and Sabu Sabu Deli, andoften dines at Ridgewood’s Mediterraneo Restaurant. “Ilove that the town is peaceful and relaxed,” says Coffey—especially now that her life has become more chaotic.

After auditioning on a whim for the first season ofShear Genius, the pixie-like blonde quickly becamefamous as the show’s spunkiest contestant. Though shewas eliminated after the sixth episode due to poor team-work with Tyson, her partner for the day, America lovedher candor and intensity: Coffey was voted “FanFavorite” and awarded a $10,000 prize.

A few months later Bravo called to offer an evenbetter boon—her own spin-off series. On each episodeof Tabatha’s Salon Takeover, Coffey has one week to savea failing hair parlor from destruction. Her canny busi-ness sense and impeccably chic style have yielded con-sistently positive results, yet the owners aren’t alwaysappreciative of her forthright approach.

“Because I’m pointing out all the things they’redoing wrong, people often get offended by what I sug-gest,” she says. “But I don’t have time to hold their handsor work in an overly nice manner.”

One thing Coffey does always have time for is herclients. “I’m still at the salon all the time—unless I’mtraveling for the show or for work, I’m there cutting hair.”

Indeed, Coffey hasn’t lost the childlike wonderthat first drew her to this craft. “There is magic in thatfinal moment, when everything comes together,” shesays. “You see a bit of sparkle in the customer’s eye, andyou know that person really feels good. It’s incredible torealize that you helped make that happen.” ■

Clean sceneHow could a house with curb appeal and an open floorplan have a dark, cramped kitchen cut off from other liv-ing areas? Interior designers Stuart Schepps and AudreyLeigh Nevins of DSGN Interiordesign Inc. of CedarGrove may never know, but, like their clients, they appre-ciated the house’s potential.

To open up the space, Schepps and Nevinsreplaced the wall between the kitchen and the rest of theliving areas with half-walls of translucent resin. An addi-tion doubled the space to 20 by 22 feet. Best of all, peel-ing off the plasterboard ceiling provided the opportunityto create a dramatic partial ellipse—19 feet at its apex.

The owners envisioned a clean, modern look.“But it also had to be colorful,” says the wife. “I wanted

kitchen, other materials are relatively neutral, includingthe cherry island base and the porcelain floor tiles. Eventhe orange-glazed lava-stone eating bar reads as neutral.“Combining colors and finishes helps to break up thespace and define different areas,” explains kitchendesigner Lorena Polon of Snaidero USA of Morristown.

Polon relied on the cabinetry’s horizontal thrustto pull the eye down and keep the room in scale. “Other-wise people say, ‘oh, what a big space,’ instead of, ‘oh,what a great space,’ ” she explains.

Also humanizing the scale are tiny glass mosaictiles on the arched wall, creating “jewel-like, sculpturaleffect,” observes the owner.

While superb for entertaining, the 20- by-40-footroom could have created a challenge in terms of dailyuse.

THE NEWESTThis is way more exciting than that new-car smell.Setting sail on a new vessel is a special treat for cruise-goers, and some of the new ships launched in recentmonths or due to debut in 2010 offer an array of eye-popping attractions.

We can report, for example, that November’s U.S.debut of the 3,646-passenger Carnival Dream (1-800-CARNIVAL, www.carnival.com) was great fun. Thelargest this cruise line has ever built, the ship is encircledby a half-mile, open-air promenade deck with lanai seat-ing, and at night a large circular dance floor’s jumping.Fun abounds on the two-deck miniature golf course and

the four-deck–high, 303-foot–long, corkscrew-shapedwaterslide—part of a huge WaterWorks Aqua Park. Four“scenic whirlpools” cantilever out over the sea, and theCloud 9 Spa, at 23,750 square feet, is, we were told, theCarnival fleet’s largest and most elaborate wellness center.

While kid-free sections are common on cruiseships, we liked the fact that Dream’s two-level sanctu-ary, dubbed “Serenity” and boasting a full bar and twowhirlpools, didn’t charge us extra. Onboard triviagames and an art auction offer sun-free diversion, andthe comedy club hosts six different comedy showsnightly for four nights of every seven-day cruise.

Help for the Seriously Overweight

To successfully lose weight

and keep it off, you not only

need the right tools but also

the right support. Gastric

bypass and gastric banding

are two surgical procedures

available for those who cannot

lose or maintain their weights

on their own. In addition, the

Metabolic Medicine and Weight

Control Center at Morristown

Memorial Hospital performs

laproscopic gastric bypass

and laproscopic gastric

banding. Both help stop the

weight-loss roller-coaster,

alleviating or resolving related

health problems such as

heart disease, hypertension,

diabetes, depression,

migraines, sleep apnea, joint

disease and infertility.

Deborah Abeles, M.D.,

recently joined our practice

after completing a bariatric

fellowship with Tufts Medical

Center in Boston. She brings

fresh medical perspectives and

performs the new incisionless

ROSE procedure for revision of

previously failed bypass surgery.

This new technique is safer,

results in minimal pain and a

faster recovery for the patient.

Patients also need a strong

support system to be

successful. To help patients

achieve and maintain a

healthy weight loss, the center

provides the necessary tools

and supportfrom metabolic

specialists, nutritionists,

exercise physiologists,

dietitians, mental health

clinicians and support group

meetings—whether patients

need to lose 10 pounds or 200

pounds or more.

Multidisciplinary Pain Management

Due to the multi-faceted

nature of muscular-skeletal

injuries, it’s rare for a

patient to require care

from just one specialist.

Usually this means many

offi ce visits at dispersed

locations. A multidisciplinary

center differs in that it

expedites treatment in an

effective and convenient

way by bringing a variety

of professionals together

under one roof.

At the Denville Medical

& Sports Rehabilitation

Center we have medical

doctors, chiropractors,

physical therapists and

massage therapists on

hand to ensure you receive

the best care. Our patients

are co-treated by a team of

doctors that collaborate to

develop an individualized

treatment plan and to chart

progress. Each professional

brings a unique perspective

and experience to the

table, which is an invaluable

patient resource.

I arrived at this concept

by working with high-level

athletes. Olympians, for

example, almost always

have a team of medical

professionals to turn to

throughout their training.

When I opened this

practice, my intention was

to bring multidiscipline

care to everyone, whether

they’re sick, an injured

athlete, a weekend warrior

who “overdid it” on a home

project or even someone

who was injured in an

auto accident.

Exceptional Vision—Even for Those Just Using Just Reading Glasses

Over the past 20 years, Richard Norden, M.D. FACS, has

established an unparalleled reputation in the metropolitan

area. He was the fi rst in New Jersey to perform and

trademark Custom LASIK, a vision-correction procedure

that recognizes that each patient has different visual

needs. He uses the Eye Q laser, the fastest in the world,

making the procedure extremely easy and painless.

It takes less than 10 minutes and patients can return

to work the very next day. “LASIK corrects all types of

prescriptions, including those for astigmatism and reading

glasses, and can transform people’s lives,” notes Dr.

Norden. “It is also less expensive than wearing glasses

and contact lenses.”

Top-of-the-Line Cosmetic Care

A nationally recognized American Medical Educators

Training instructor and Castle and Connolly ‘Top Doctor’

for more than 10 years, Laurene DiPasquale, M.D.,

couples her extraordinary talent in the fi eld of non-

of this is the use of Isolaz, a machine that uses vacuum

Be sushi-savvy!It’s got to be healthy, right? A little bit of fish, a tiny smattering of rice, all rolled up in someseaweed—what could go wrong? In fact, sushi can be one of the healthiest dining-outoptions there is, nonfattening yet rich in heart-protective omega-3 fatty acids. But as theonce-exotic Japanese food has become ubiquitous in the U.S., new varieties have beendeveloped—some with ingredients that have nutrition gurus crying foul. These days,sushi’s calorie count varies widely, with some choices decidedly diet-unfriendly. Here’s aquick primer:

FAST FACT

DID YOU KNOW?

That hot green sushi condiment that clears your sinuses

is called wasabi, but in the U.S. chances are it’s not the

genuine spice made from the wasabia japonica root.

Instead, it’s a cheaper, easier-to-handle mixture of

horseradish, mustard and food coloring that the

Japanese call “seiyo wasabi,” or Western wasabi.

WITH ITS RUSTIC SEPIA TONES, DARK WOODand gleaming stamped brass ceiling, Suppa’s Restaurantharkens back to an earlier generation. The Italian eateryis situated next to a dry cleaner just off Route 46 in PineBrook, with a banquet room that’s sometimes used forstand-up comedy. But sit amid the dim lighting, perusingthe heavy leather menus while old Sinatra plays, and youvery well could be in Little Italy circa the Mad Men era.

We began with Suppa’s calamari, which comes withyour choice of the usual (marinara) or unusual (balsamicginger). Our server took our order without asking our pref-erence, so we flagged her down to request the balsamic.She told us there’d be an additional fee to get both cups—then brought both anyway, withoutcharge. This exchange (a preview ofthe somewhat scattered service tocome) seemed much ado about noth-ing much, as the ginger dressingmerely gave a slight Asian kick to oth-erwise standard chewy squid.

Our rustica salad, however,was a pleasure: sliced portobellosand excellent fresh mozzarella pyra-mided on a bed of arugula with justenough Italian dressing, garnishedwith artichokes and sliced cherry

tomatoes. Given the choice, our fork generallygravitates toward fried seafood over a plateful ofgreens, but not this evening.

We couldn’t resist the cream of pumpkinsoup special—a luscious delight. The goldenbisque, as thick and speckled as Dijon mustard,was sweet enough to make for a pleasing dessert,but a sprinkling of sharp cheddar added a satisfy-ingly savory tang.

The pork osso bucco—a healthy shankbraised until the meat was falling off the bones—was tender but a bit bland. This was easily reme-died by swiping each forkful through the hearty,stew-like sauce of tomato and small cubed car-rots. The dish was served with a side of nicelycrisp zucchini slices cooked in a fair deal of but-ter and a somewhat out-of-place mashed-potatocake with a mozzarella stick–like coating.

Our pasta dish, goat cheese ravioli, was abit of an enigma. Rather than the promised pinenuts and asparagus in garlic and oil, the pasta pil-lows were topped with walnuts, mushrooms and

a thick française sauce. The goat cheese itself was notstuffed inside the pasta, but sprinkled atop regular ricotta-filled ravioli. Though the dish had plenty going for it—the filling was creamy and tasty, and the earthy mush-rooms nicely counterbalanced the biting goat cheese andlemony sauce—the unannounced substitutions made itfeel like the kitchen’s leftovers.

The chocolate mousse cake, a thick, rich wedgewith a crumbly, coal-black crust, proved that sometimesthe perfect complement to chocolate is ... more chocolate.Even better was the tartufo—a big, quartered nugget ofchocolate-coated vanilla and chocolate gelato with a

cherry core. Offsetting the chilledtreat with a hot cup of coffeemade for a great end to the meal.

We left Suppa’s and fullyreentered the not-so-elegant 21stcentury, skirting the side of a busyroad because we had parked bythe dry cleaner. Though theeatery isn’t perfect, it offers severaldelights and occasional bursts ofcreativity. And with its romanti-cally nostalgic setting, it’s a timecapsule worth a visit. ■

NEVER BE WITHOUT TEETH, INCLUDING IMPLANTSPatients travel from around the country to Denville, in search of the perfect smile.

Denville is famous for its medical community. So, it’s no surprise that a perfect smile is a must have item in this friendly town. Hand crafting those smiles is the life work of Dr. Steiner and Dr. Fine. Our offi ce’s reputation has spread so far that we now treat patients from around the world; often doing more smile makeovers in a single month that some dentists do in a lifetime.

We also offer an amazing alternative for those living with missing teeth. This dramatic advancement in the fi eld of dental implantology now makes it possible for many patients to switch from dentures to permanent implant supported teeth in only a few hours. This new approach can be used to replace a single missing tooth or an entire mouth. Patients leave the offi ce after just one appointment with a beautiful and strong smile. Discomfort is so minimal that most patients eat a light meal that evening.

Upon entering our front door you will immediately know that this is no ordinary dental offi ce, because that’s what most people say upon seeing it for the fi rst time. Among our practice’s notable patients are actresses, actors, astronauts, models and TV personalities. However most of the doctor’s patients are everyday people who just want to look their best.

Drs. Steiner, Fine and Kwiatkowski have focused their practice on those areas about which they are highly passionate. (After all you wouldn’t ask your family doctor to do heart surgery.) Those areas are Cosmetic Dentistry. Trained at the prestigious Las Vegas Institute for advanced dental studies, they have devoted over fi fty combined years to perfecting their skills and have placed over 23,000 cosmetic restorations. Our main focus is on cosmetic and full mouth reconstruction cases. This includes Implant Dentistry and Neuromuscular Orthodontics, which can avoid unecessary removal of teeth. Many people do not realize that dental problems may be the cause of headaches, shoulder, back and neck pain, noisy jaw joints and pains in the TMJ.

Drs. Steiner, Fine and Kwiatkowski pride themselves in having Morris County’s premier head, neck and jaw pain relief center. Our offi ce also offers a “limited warranty” that provides free repair or replacement of restorative dental work, when a patient’s regular hygiene visits are maintained. This kind of security could only be offered by truly World Class Dentists. This is why our motto is: “Experienced professionals make the difference.”
