now touring Mackinac Island and seeing many of its hotels Mission Point Resort will forever be our only choice Besides the expansive 18 acre setting and sheer elegance of the resort the entire staff

COUNTY FEATURING THE WHEATON FRENCH MARKET With summer in full swing and the temperature getting increasingly warmer there is no better way to take advantage of the season in Dupage County then shopping at some of the many outdoors markets The Wheaton French Market is a particularly good way to spend a Saturday morning especially during the summer when produce is fresh and the weather is ideal The open air market located in downtown Wheaton just south of the tracks at Main and Liberty is one of the most popular and longest running market of its kind organized by Bensoudin USA Inc It brings the Parisian culture of a public mixed market right here to the county while highlighting the best of the Midwest local farmers artisans businesses and craftsmen You can walk the Wheaton streets and enjoy everything from fresh produce and fruit to locally sourced honey or jam You can also add unique jewelry pieces to your wardrobe or purchase hand crafted soap among other authentic items Vendors like The Cheese People Twisted Olive Pet Chef Garlic Underground and many more occupy the streets every Saturday from 8am 2pm Even in the pouring rain the vendors set up their shops and fill them with the fruits of their labor as customers still eagerly flock to the market In fact it is on the crummiest of days that the strongest sense of community can be observed at the Wheaton French Market Vendors pack their shops tightly together and set up tarps to combat rain as they idly chat with each other and the community members who come out to support their local artisans and small businesses Jane Hurst owner of Jane s Herbs has been selling her organic herbs spices and hemp oils for 12 years at the Wheaton French Market Hurst says she most enjoys being in the outdoors and also loves all the people I think the market is very important for the community too as it offers a versatility in fresh organic fruits and vegetables and it allows vendors an opportunity to sell their labors Hurst says As a licensed master herbalist and professor at a local herbal college Hurst gets to have her students participate as well which she says is always a good thing to see Many college students in the area who are studying fields such as sustainability business or agriculture participate in the weekly market expanding its role of providing a pleasurable experience for community members by also serving as a learning experience for participating students This summer take the Saturday to embrace the French culture and interact with the community You can make a whole day out of this opportunity by biking to the market along the Illinois Prairie Path or use the fresh food to spice up your diet and try cooking new things in the kitchen Enjoy ABOUT THE WRITER Kelsey

Dr Mom INTRODUCING WEST SUBURBAN DR MOM Dr Jiana Pahigianis Panos DDS Working at two dental offices caring for both children and adults while also having three children of your own can be seen as a handful to many Dr Jiana Pahigianis Panos DDS of Advanced Family Dental and Orthodontics PC in Lockport and Tic Tac Tooth Pediatric Dentistry in Naperville is continuously working hard to balance her life between work and family I interviewed Dr Panos to get an inside look into her everyday life with work and caring for her three children Vasi Eleni and George A typical work day for me starts out early by getting the kids ready and dropped off at school then heading into work Dr Panos began Working at Tic Tac Tooth on Mondays and one Saturday a month and Advanced Family Dental and Orthodontics on Wednesdays and Thursdays I get home at dinner time and am able to spend a couple of hours with my husband and kids and preparing for the next day she continued With busy work days there are still busy days off for a mother of three My days off are spent running errands taking kids to school and activities and preparing for the rest of the week Dr Panos said The dream of being a dentist wasn t always there for Dr Panos As a little girl I wanted to be a teacher she explained My uncle was our family dentist and he used to ask my sisters and I who was going to be a dentist when we grew up and I remember thinking to myself Not me that s boring I was wrong she joked Dr Panos became interested in becoming a dentist at her high school graduation party She told me a story of her family friend attending the party explaining to her what a root canal was With his interesting explanation and my love for science I decided to pursue dentistry at this point Dr Panos said Dentistry allows me to bring together all of the things I love science creativity problem solving and most of all providing an important and needed service to people she explained with passion Dr Panos stabilizes the teeter tooter of life with children and demanding work with patience compassion and love for both her occupation and her family Advanced Family Dental Orthodontics www advancedfamilydental com Tic Tac Tooth

BEAUTIFUL The Weight Game Salima Ali of Naperville and Steve Greanias of Glen Ellyn Share their Weight Loss Stories Whether you re single like Salima or married with kids like Steve wanting to feel good and comfortable in their clothes was the key ingredient to their weight loss journeys Each had tried it on their own Salima worked out for almost 6 months from June 2017 to November 2017 and only lost 6 pounds in 6 months Steve s main focus at the gym was to do something anything and get into the steam room and sauna as quickly as possible Both wanted a healthier lifestyle Someone from Jamat Khana place of worship gave a reference to Jazba Fitness in Naperville I visited the place on November 21 2017 talked with my trainer Shehzad Merchant and told him I will start after Thanksgiving weekend Salima says I started working out on November 28 2017 weighing 167 pounds and here I am today on June 3 2018 weighing 132 pounds feeling awesome and enjoying life and can taste everything out there without any guilt Salima Salima did not give up any food In fact she still eats rice pasta paratha butter bread fries etc She just had to learn how and when to eat the foods she liked so that it worked for her body rather than against it and her trainer continues to adjust her workouts to keep her body from getting used to one form of exercise Steve Steve also tries to eat healthy during the week staying away from sugar as the number one goal but on weekends he definitely lets loose with the food and drinks but has learned from his workout crew at Orange Theory Fitness in Glen Ellyn OTF GE it s one of the things I burn for Steve became addicted to OTF after the first few classes He started to see positive results after just a couple of weeks In January of 2016 he weighed 236 lbs and was wearing size 36 jeans Over the past two years since starting at OTF GE he is down to 192 lbs 15 body fat and size 32 jeans and like Salima s workouts Steve enjoys the diversity of the different types of classes OTF offers and the way they mix up the workouts Although it is very true that only you can decide to get started on the journey to better health both Salima and Steve agree that having a trainer or group of workout buddies to hold you accountable is key to the success Kristen Kucharski Glancer Magazine JULY 2018 DUPAGE COUNTY 21

CELEBRATING RELAXATION FITNESS TECH TIME Healthy Tech LOCAL FITNESS EXPERTS SHARE ON WHAT S HOT IN TECHNOLOGY FOR HEALTH FITNESS DUPAGE COUNTY Paige Waehner Certified Personal Trainer with Get Fit With Paige in Glen Ellyn says we ve come a long way from using scales as a means to determine fitness and health from basic heart rate monitors to smart watches and fitness trackers now we can learn so much more about our bodies on a daily basis For most people seeing their progress happen whether it s a number on a watch or a progress report at the end of the week it motivates them to keep going on a daily basis she says Having this information gives you so many more ways to set goals Instead of just weight loss which is something that happens over a long period of time they can focus on the steps they need to take to reach that goal taking more steps eating fewer calories exercising more etc I think fitness technology will evolve to the point where we can track even more information about our bodies and exercise and more importantly our overall health Pampered for a Day RELAX REPLENISH REWARD I m the kind of gal that prefers adventure versus relaxing I bite my nails color my own hair and am super ticklish therefore hate massages and pedicures So when Zazu Salon Day Spa invited me to experience their new brand The Zazu Exchange in Naperville I couldn t imagine what I would enjoy from the spa or salon menu After receiving my very first facial which included a masking exfoliation activated by steam system I quietly giggled You see as I was lying peacefully in a dimly lit room surrounded by candles and mediation music I realized what I had been missing for the past 47 years I never thought I would say I love the spa life but I m sold I next moved to the salon and had my hair professionally shampooed and deeply conditioned then sat placidly while my hair was skillfully blown out and styled I felt like a model My hair looked stunning yes I just said that out loud and complimented myself I felt amazing Now I know why women love spa days Julie Kocher Zinkus Founder of Flexible Fitness in Wheaton relies heavily on technology to foster client success using websites like PTontheNet to create workouts with photos and video descriptions as well as using video conferencing like Zoom and Skype in addition to Apps like Voxer for additional coaching accountability motivation while also delivering whole food nutrition foundations to her clients Now that I am hooked I am fortunate that Zazu Salon Day Spa is offering a reward program Anybody who walks into the store is able to earn free services as long as they purchase products You don t need to sign up for anything you just need to purchase at least 30 worth of retail and you earn a free service Each customer can earn 1 voucher each day that can be used for personal use or given to a friend Kathryn Doyle Life Coach and Personal Trainer of Kathryn The Trainer in Naperville agrees that technology creates an easier path to accountability My clients love the ease of walking into their basement and simply opening their computer Clients can have dinner cooking and laundry going or kids in the other room and never miss a session she says I also support a lot of executives that work from home and or travel for work For people with work at home our sessions are just another appointment

M O N T H LY CO LU M N To Give To Inspire MO N T H L Y C O L UM N Mom s Little Black Book NEW AGE BIKING Summer with Teenagers what s there to do We ve been so lucky that Naperville Kayak continues to bring the new and exciting to Naperville on a regular basis It began with kayaks at the quarry to kayaks on the river to paddleboards at the quarry to paddleboards on the river Now Naperville Kayak continues to bring outdoor fun and adventure to the west suburbs with new E Bikes Electrically assisted bicycles that look and feel like a normal bike but it gives you an extra boost so you can cruise faster for longer up to 20mph They are super safe and you can choose your own boost level based of your comfort and experience The onboard computer measures your wattage output to the pedals and gives you the desired extra boost Needless to say my group of teens all felt confident setting the highest level of boost possible to ensure maximum speed Good thing a helmet is included in every rental and no previous experience is required The kids loved the flexibility of choosing their own route since you are not limited to riding in a circle or a designated area Although Naperville Kayak will offer you a map of recommended scenic routes you are free to choose your own path to adventure and since teenagers don t like being told what to do or where to go this worked well I loved the freedom to take the bikes into downtown Naperville and grab some ice cream or head to Whalon Lake to see some wildlife And of course the E Bikes are not just for teens and would make for a unique date with that special someone or a fun get together with the neighborhood moms Overview New for 2018 Naperville Kayak is now offering E bike Adventures for 16 year olds with a valid driver s license Electrically assisted bicycles that look and feel like a normal bike but it gives you an extra boost so you can cruise faster for longer Like you on a bike but more bionic and superpowered you the harder you push the more boost you get until you hit 20mph Naperville Kayak DuPage River Sports Complex 2807 Washington Street Naperville 630 300 4527 www NapervilleKayak com Hours Tuesday Sunday weather permitting

Little Black Book is a monthly feature written for moms who are looking for ways to keep their kids busy FORWARD DuPage and ProActive Kids Throughout this issue we have been highlighting different
