It’s hard to believe we are so close to another holiday season, and yet, none of us can deny the excitement we feel just thinking about the cheerful times ahead. We, at The Connection Magazines, surely are super excited to celebrate this special time with our communities. In this issue, we are highlighting the magic of the holiday season by featuring a HOLIDAY CHEER section to help you find the perfect gift, special places to wine & dine, and destinations to visit.

THE WARREN-WATCHUNG CONNECTION PAGE 8 NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2022/JANUARY 2023 theconnectionsnj.com Artist Claudia Slater captures the personalities of celebrities, individuals, and animals on canvas. She also enjoys painting botanicals and landscapes. The self-taught artist of Basking Ridge, NJ, discovered a passion for drawing at a young age, and was encouraged by other artists in her family. For several years, Claudia taught art classes in a storefront studio in Pennsylvania. The site offered an engaging space to exhibit her paintings along with whimsical handdecorated hat boxes, birdhouses, and furniture. Claudia has had several solo shows in the Basking Ridge area: Watchung Arts Center, Bedminster Library, and Bernardsville Library. She exhibited at The Environmental Arts Center in Millington Church, and received two People’s Choice Awards for outdoor art shows at the Flemington Library. Her work can be seen online at: https://www.facebook.com/claudia. slater.9400 CLAUDIA SLATER claudiaslater.art Artist Claudia Slater captures the personalities of celebrities, individuals, and animals on canvas. She also enjoys painting botanicals and landscapes. ON THE COVER Monday morning through Friday evening you sailed smoothly! You drank a bunch of water, and you prioritized lean protein and vegetables all week. You’re proud of yourself, you should be! It’s a good thing the weekend is starting. We don’t have to think about work for the next couple of days. It’s time to relax. But, should we relax our training and nutrition? How much damage could two days do? It’s only a few meals … and the difficulty in eating healthy successfully, Monday-Friday afternoon, intuitively tells you that you couldn’t possibly offset all the benefits you gained. Right? Unfortunately, this isn’t true. We find that many, many people derail a great week of eating through poor weekend choices. In some cases, a whole week of good behavior can be undone in just a few meals!! Here are 7 simple strategies to survive the weekend while trying to lose fat. 1. Eat more throughout the week- What? Eat more? Yes, a huge mistake that we see a lot of our members make is starving themselves Monday-Friday. Eating a little bit more food throughout the week may feel less torturous, which can increase your confidence in following a sound calorie count into the weekend and decrease the chances of bingeing. That said, focus more on whole foods and/or minimally processed foods when trying to do this. 2. Workout - This doesn’t have to be a grueling 50-60 minute training session. Try to get something done. Break a sweat. Doing something simply for 10-20 min. Is still way better than nothing! 3. Intermittent Fasting - This isn’t for everyone. But some people, myself included, have had great success in decreasing weekend calories when you don’t eat the majority of the day. From personal experience, we would generally say not to fast for more than 12 hours as more than that seems to increase hunger drastically over time. 4. Water - Drink water between each drink or every 2 drinks. It makes you less likely to make a fool of yourself by getting too drunk! Try drinking 16 oz. of water right before a weekend meal as well. 5. Protein/Vegetables - Eat vegetables first on the appetizer table/menu. Try to fill up on them as much as you can. Order a lean protein meal if you’re out to dinner. It’s not a huge taste sacrifice. Get vegetables on the side instead of french fries. 6. Minimize or Illegalize Dessert - If you’re like me, you struggle to consume dessert-type foods in moderation. Therefore, they must not exist for you on most days. If you want something sweet, fruit can fill this void. 7. Don’t Have it in the House - Trying to avoid tempting foods when you’re out socializing is hard enough. Having it in your house 24/7 is harder. Get rid of the junk, and replace it with other stuff that might not taste as perfect as a mega stuffed oreo or giant peanut butter cup (so good, drool ...) but will help you achieve your fat loss goals. Each coach at Pratt Personal Training has a slightly different approach as to what works for them concerning diet/ food/weekends etc. A massive benefit that our members have is direct access to all the coaches as a general resource to help them with everyday solutions to weight loss and staying healthy.

theconnectionsnj.com HOLIDAY CHEER PAGE 17 Starting with a partnership, the Schultz family now owns 100% of the business upon the retirement of the Blausteins in 2021. The Schultz family has a rich history in the industry that spans 4 generations. The first founding generation originated in Berlin, Germany in 1913. Fearing the rise of Hitler and the Nazi movement, the second generation fled to the United States and settled in Newark, New Jersey on Bergen Street. The store was moved to the Short Hills area in the early 1960s where it remains to this day run by the third generation, Robert and Christine Schultz, and their son Ashley of the fourth generation. Being in business for over 100 years gives a clear perspective of changes in the style and mindset of the consumer. From stoles and capelets worn with gloves; Persian Lamb coats with matching hats; the glamorous fox coats of the 1980s; the Schultzes have SEEN IT ALL and DONE IT ALL. Styles come and go and sometimes return. Black tie affairs are few and far between, if not non-existent. Work attire has gone from “casual Fridays” to “casual every day”. To stay competitive in the fashion industry, a successful company needs to “roll with the trend”. The luxury outerwear business has evolved into just that. The Schultz’s showroom which once consisted of only full-length coats that were of a serious nature to be worn with a gown has now transformed into jackets and kneelength garments to be worn with jeans or leggings. Vibrant colors and combing of materials are what is in vogue today. Cashmere, leather, goose down, alpaca, shearling, as well as traditional furs curated in modern colors and silhouettes, dominate demand in the market today. The Schultz & Blaustein clientele continued to search for statement outerwear garments to join their winter wardrobe. The styles may change, but that fact remains true today. Longevity such as this does not happen by chance. The Schultz Family excels in customer service and providing the best quality for a fair price. They have purchased or have been recommended for future service by over a dozen furriers who have retired over the years. The service end of their business has grown to over 9000 coats in storage. All work is performed on sight by old-world craftsmen. The company prides itself on its creativity and design insights when restyling outdated garments. Bring in an old, tired garment and watch as it is reimagined into something current and relevant. Whether it be to purchase a new item, remodel an old coat, have something cleaned, or stored for the summer, or simply sew a button, the Schultz family welcomes all. The Schultz & Blaustein Company Has Kept Their Clients Fashionably Warm In The Short Hills Area Since The 1960s 516 Millburn Ave., Short Hills, NJ 07078 (973) 379-1080 sbfurs.com Being in business for over 100 years gives a clear perspective of changes in the style and mindset of the consumer. From stoles and capelets worn with gloves; Persian Lamb coats with matching hats; the glamorous fox coats of the 1980s; the Schultzes have SEEN IT ALL and DONE IT ALL.

You may be unfamiliar with us; we are a one-of-a-kind local wine shop in the heart of Warren. If you want to know what makes us so special and unique, read on… When you walk into our store you will find Tara, our store manager, wine buyer, and wine expert with 30 yrs. experience in the wine industry. She loves the challenge of finding awe-inspiring wines at awe-inspiring prices. You’ll findmany of our wines are highly rated, 90+ points byWine Spectator, Wine Advocate, andWine Enthusiast. Many are organic, single vineyards, and from exceptional family-run wineries from around the world. On top of that, at any given point you will find 800 to 1400 different wines from every major wine-producing country. Some aren’t widely known NOT because they’re “inferior” or “cheap” but because only a small number of all wines produced have the opportunity to be rated or have huge marketing dollars behind them. If you’d like to sample before buying, stop in on a Friday night tasting from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm. Last but not least, we offer private in store tastings, corporate tasting events and party planning assistance. Feel free to call or stop in with any questions or to book an event. The takeaway: 10 Below is not “just cheap wine”… It is quality wine retailing as high as $24 per bottle with the average price being $15 to $17, and on sale for $10.97 or less. Another sweet takeaway: Join our Wine Club! Receive 15% off mix and match case every Saturday. By Tara Arnold, Store Manager Here we have an unusual blend of 50% Merlot and 50% Syrah from the Southern Rhone Valley unlike the usual cast of characters, Grenache, Syrah, Mouvedre, Carignon and Cincault known globally as GSM after the first three varietals. We highly recommend experiencing wines from the Rhone Valley which is split into two distinct regions, north and south, and are known around the world for exquisite quality wines and some of the most highly respected blends on earth, one being the highly esteemed Chateauneuf du Pape.

THE WARREN-WATCHUNG CONNECTION PAGE 32 NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2022/JANUARY 2023 theconnectionsnj.com As we prepare to celebrate the holidays, many pet owners naturally want to include their beloved four-legged and furry family members in the festivities. This can be great fun for all, but here are just a few tips to keep your pet safe, healthy and happy during the holidays. When You Have to Travel: Holiday travel can be stressful for pets. Prior to travel make sure that your pet has had a recent veterinary examination and is healthy enough to travel. Some pets also benefit from prescription medications to reduce anxiety and motion sickness which you may want to discuss with your veterinarian. Also, make sure that your contact information is up-to-date on all pet ID tags and with microchip registries. Most pets go missing or get injured during the holidays either by jumping out of vehicles before someone has a good handle on their leash or because doors are left open more frequently as guests come and go. Even pets that might not usually attempt to escape the home through an open door may be more likely to flee due to anxiety brought about during busy holiday gatherings. Holiday Decorations: Many holiday decorations pose a threat to pet health and safety. Glittery, sparkly and shiny ornaments are particularly attractive to cats and may be accidentally ingested. Glass ball ornaments on a Christmas tree can be easily mistaken for balls by dogs who carry or chew on them, leading to ingestion of shards of glass. Curious pets, especially cats, may be prone to investigate or knock over holiday candles, particularly when they are lit. Strands of lights and the extra electrical cords that often accompany these and other holiday decorations may also be tempting for cats and some dogs to chew on. To reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, you should unplug these prior to leaving the home or ensure that pets are securely locked out of areas with candles and cords when not under direct supervision. When Gifts Are Exchanged: Festive gift wrap with bows and ornaments can draw attention to holiday gifts and as a result, may be destroyed or ingested by pets. Curling ribbon is particularly attractive to cats, however, if ingested can cause severe intestinal damage due to its sharp edges and propensity to get caught in the intestinal tract. Also, be careful not to leave tasty holiday treats within reach of pets. Growing up, my elderly grandmother used to wrap boxes of chocolate for each of us and put them under the tree with tags signed by Santa. Despite reminders not to do so, Grandma commonly forgot. Our family’s Westie never failed to sniff out those boxes and eagerly consume their contents. Chocolate toxicity and subsequent emergency treatment practically became an annual tradition for her. Thankfully we always got her to the ER in time, but the outcome could have been grave had we not. Later in life, while working many holiday emergency shifts as a veterinarian I found Grandma wasn’t the only one. I also found myself on more than one occasion performing surgery to repair serious bite wounds on family dogs who had gotten into fights over treats. One particular case involved owners who had purchased a three-foot-long rawhide bone complete with a big red bow for both of their dogs to share. The size of the bone was more than enough for both dogs, but the owners somewhat naively expected the dogs would actually share. Although the dogs got along extremely well on a daily basis, sharing such a high value treat was way too much to expect of them. Even in a normally harmonious home, pets should be safely separated by gates or in crates where they can safely enjoy special treats without the threat of competition. When People Food is Shared: It’s hard to resist sharing holiday meals with our furry family members when their keen noses have sniffed them out and longing puppy dog eyes look up at you from beside the table. But many holiday foods are toxic to our pets including chocolate, onions, raisins, macadamia nuts, yeast dough, and fruit pits. Given that most pets eat the same thing every day, sudden introduction of any new food can lead to stomach upset. Fatty meats and cooked bones can also be particularly dangerous and can lead to vomiting and diarrhea, pancreatitis, and even intestinal obstruction, which can be potentially life-threatening. If you really want to share a holiday meal with your pet, it is best to cook them their own lean, white meat skinless, boneless, turkey or chicken breast and serve a very small portion of this with a small amount of rice, boiled white potato or sweet potato without butter. They’ll stay healthy, enjoy their special holiday meal and most importantly, enjoy their time with you. At KIND Veterinary Care Center, we are committed to providing exceptional and compassionate lifelong care for our patients. As a full-service veterinary hospital, we offer comprehensive and convenient medical, dental, and surgical services with a personal touch. Celebrating the Holidays with Furry Family Members Most pets go missing or get injured during the holidays either by jumping out of vehicles before someone has a good handle on their leash or because doors are left open more frequently as guests come and go.

theconnectionsnj.com HEALTH & WELLNESS PAGE 42 Find Your Best Self With A Wellness Coach Guide I am a health and wellness coach trained by the Mayo Clinic and the owner of Jane Cooperman Wellness, based in Berkeley Heights. I “see” clients virtually, telephonically, and at times in person. I am also a registered nurse who worked with home care clients for many years. Now I specialize in collaborating with clients to create their desired behavior change. The essence of my work is to facilitate your growth by helping you identify core mind, body and spiritual strengths and values. This allows you to fully embrace who you are and start living a happier and healthier life. It was the pandemic that brought me to health and wellness coaching. The enforced isolation and remote work gave me the time and inclination to be introspective and to consider how I wanted to spend my life. Big business had changed the nature of my home care management role, and I felt we did not have the resources to provide the care we were promoting. I felt a calling to help people and was not able to fulfill that anymore through my work as an RN. And I am evidence that a person can live a healthy, vibrant life regardless of age. Coaching was right up my alley. Coaching is a client-centered approach where the client is the expert about him or herself. The coach’s expertise is in creating lasting behavior change. Through establishment of a trusting coaching relationship, the coach helps build intrinsic motivation to change behavior. How can I help you? The first coaching session allows us to begin to engage with each other, the first step in establishing a trusting coaching relationship. For coaching to work, it has to be a judgment-free zone, and a held space where you can explore, process, break down, laugh – whatever it takes. In that first session, we will look at what you value most in life. We will start to explore your strengths. And you may, as early as the first session, develop a wellness vision, which is simply how you see yourself if you were living your best life. Or it may take longer. After that, the fun starts, as we experiment with different paths, or action steps, for you to reach your goals. The agenda belongs to you, the client. I will guide you along the way. If you have certain goals, and your actions appear to be in discord with your goals, I will help you work through that. You can talk about whatever you want. You will start to see yourself change, and hear your language (self-talk) change as well. More concretely, I can help you find work-life balance, stick to a medical regimen, become more mindful, incorporate self-care into your routine and, become more active doing things you enjoy. If you are grieving a loss I can hold space for you to grieve and feel supported. If you are caring for a sick relative, I can help you to not lose sight of your own needs. Besides coaching, I offer a website and blog that you might enjoy. I am happy to provide you with my free guide, “10 Tips to Relieve Stress and Anxiety.” Just email your request to me at healthcoachjane1@gmail.com, and I will send a copy. 4 Tip Top Way, Berkeley Heights, NJ 07922 janecoopermanwellness.com/ 201-240-4735 Coaching is a clientcentered approach where the client is the expert about him or herself.
