As we reflect upon the COVID-19 pandemic, our hearts are filled with gratitude for those on the front lines, particularly those in health care—the doctors, nurses, and medical staff who are working tirelessly, putting themselves in harm’s way to care for those who are ill. Palm Beach County’s world-class medical community is a blessing to us all. Heroes in many forms have emerged during the coronavirus crisis. Thank you to the employees of our grocery stores, pharmacies, hardware stores, and other essential retail locations who have kept their doors open, shelves stocked, and patience intact as we inquired, again and again, when the next shipment of hand sanitizer would arrive. To those behind the scenes—the truck drivers, the mail carriers—who continue to operate business as usual so that we can…

West Palm Beach artist Lisa Kaw’s work stands out not just for her distinct collage-like style—think vibrant colors, bold lines, and mixed patterns—but for its infectious joy. “My art celebrates the happy things in life,” says Kaw. “Sunshine, rainbows, cacti with mustaches.” Kaw, who has painted two murals at Rosemary Square, recently transitioned from acrylics to digital art and now relies solely on an iPad, Apple Pencil, and Procreate. Between licensing her work for canvas prints at Abacoa’s Ready-2HangArt and selling on WayFair and Overstock, creating is her full-time gig. Fortunately, our tropical surrounds provide constant inspiration. “Up north, everything turns gray in the winter, but here the party swings into high gear,” she says. “The other day I wore a giant toucan ring with a crazy toucan purse and…

Eyewear designer Edward Beiner understood style from an early age. Beiner’s father was a jeweler in Brazil, so he was familiar with the design process. His own love of accessories and eyewear in particular took off after he visited an optical boutique in Toronto. “I saw the level of intricacy that goes into designing a true quality frame, and I had such an appreciation for the artistry,” he says. After earning degrees in history and optics from Ryerson University, Beiner opened his first store in Miami in 1981. Over time, he expanded to 11 Florida outposts, including locations on Worth Avenue and in The Gardens Mall. At once dedicated to quality and innovation, Beiner recently launched a 3D-printed line and continues to craft glasses with the same attention to detail…

1 “Accept and acknowledge your negative emotions, without judgment. Don’t avoid them or they will get stronger. Practice mindfulness which is staying in the moment, on purpose, without judgment.” 2 “Structure your day with a set schedule and routines. They will be new routines. Plan activities and set goals.” 3 “Practice physical distancing rather than social distancing. Schedule video conferencing calls with friends. Fitness instructors are doing online group classes, and Netflix has come out with a feature (netflixparty.com) where you can watch a movie with friends.” 4 “Take care of yourself. Get outside if you can, even go for a walk if that’s an option. Exercise. Boost your immunity by staying healthy.” 5 “Shift your thinking. Let’s think about this as a time that can foster growth, resilience, and…

When introduced to this project in Boca Raton’s Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, Barbara Brickell, principal of Barbara Brickell Designs, was confronted with an uninspired outdoor space that juxtaposed neutral tile flooring against expansive and plain exterior walls. Brickell knew this would never work for her clients, given their Caribbean roots, love of whimsical colors, and penchant for a modern contemporary style. By installing artificial grass in a geometric pattern, Brickell brought warmth and dimension to what had been a cold, flat area. Additionally, by echoing the green of the golf course behind the home, she immediately increased the perceived size of the backyard. The most distinctive features are the two works of art adorning the walls. While many avoid outdoor art because of potential weather issues, these pieces,…

When it comes to health advantages, raw honey is the bee’s knees. In contrast to the honey you may find on grocery store shelves, raw honey is unfiltered, unheated, and unprocessed, which preserves all its enzymes, amino acids, and pollen. As a result, it is naturally antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory and can be used for a host of natural medicinal purposes. Some seasonal-allergy sufferers utilize raw, locally cultivated honey in an attempt to become less sensitive to the pollen they are inhaling in their own backyards. And while drinking hot tea or warm water with lemon and honey is an age-old—and effective—remedy for sore throats, using honey as a cough suppressant has begun to gain traction. Richard and Wendy Spinale have found success and personal satisfaction from introducing people to…

Show of hands: Who has learned a ton over the past few weeks? During this unprecedented threat to our health, and to everything we hold dear, we’ve had to quarantine, learn to live alone together, make do with a lot less, and generally figure things out as we went along. But we’ve also had to stop and think about our actions. Was everyone around us safe? Did a friend or neighbor need our help? Were there supplies we could share with someone in need? If there was one positive thing about COVID-19, it was this coming together of community. Every cloud, as they say, has a silver lining. No one knows this better than moms. As schools and businesses were shuttered, moms had to get extra resourceful to keep children…

Many have recently shifted to working remotely, resulting in a need for efficient yet tranquil home offices. “Creating a dedicated work space that is inviting and organized is an important part of being productive,” says Danielle Rollins, founder and creative director of Danielle Rollins Interiors. “The main things to keep in mind when choosing your special spot are sound, lighting, and function.” PBI caught up with Rollins, who resides in Palm Beach and Atlanta, to discuss designing a home office that encourages productivity and serenity. (danielledrollins.com) PBI: When it comes to the feng shui of a home office, how can you make the most of the energy within that room? Rollins: I think people feel better in edited, clutter-free, and clean spaces. Most of the time, productivity feels better when…

Fans of New Orleans’ signature Cajun and Creole dishes no longer need to travel to get their fix. Located at Downtown Palm Beach Gardens, Voodoo Bayou delivers an authentic take on the city’s cuisine, infused with a regional Southern touch and playful riffs. “We thought a lot about what’s missing in the area and did strenuous research in New Orleans,” says executive chef Peter Bartalini. “The menu represents owner Curtis Peery’s favorite dishes from the area. We kept it mostly traditional but put a twist on a few things.” Patrons will recognize plates like the shrimp and crawfish étouffée, oyster po’boy, and jambalaya. Voodoo Bayou’s shrimp and grits, however, receive an indulgent update with the addition of smoked pork belly, crispy leeks, and a bacon bourbon beurre blanc. And, cocktails…
