Mother’s Day is by far the most celebrated holiday of the year. Honoring love of country or an historic political figure never seems to match up to the attention of Mom. There is a sense of duty on Mother’s Day. From the moment we wake up, until we are ready to turn in, we work hard to make it special. A day to show our appreciation for the person who has the toughest job on earth…balancing family and for most, their careers. What is it about Mom that war- rants such pampering and attention on this day? The answer is clear. She delivers life; the one that carries and nurtures from our birth till her death. A life's journey that has driven her to care for us; to encourage and devote her life's work to us. It's a big job to keep it all tied together. Mom is the iconic anchor with its deeply rooted foundation that keeps family values intact. One of my earliest memories of Mom was her coming to open school day. It was a time when parents had the chance to observe our class, while it

was being conducted. I was eight years old. As my mother entered the classroom, I remember saying to myself, how beautiful she looked! How blessed I was to have such a Mom. I'd say to my buds, "Yup, that's my Mom," as I proudly showed her off. Though my mother worked a full time job, there was always a deliciously prepared home cooked meal on the table every single day. It was important back then, for the family to join at dinner time. Yes, we live in a different world today; It's getting even harder today to be a Mom. I also remember the times when I was unsure of myself. During moments when there was doubt about my ability. She helped me realize and understand that life has it's obstacles. Mom always was reassuring that with a positive attitude, new doors of opportunity would open. For me, it was her belief in me and encouragement that has left an indelible mark on my character. Mom was my best friend. She was my confidant, my support system. The one person above all, that would unselfishly sacrifice her time and love to nurture. The maternal mission of Mom is to keep her family strong. It is why I raise my arm and proudly salute all Moms for their love, devotion and faith in keeping the sanctuary of family alive.

Wonder what it feels like to fi nd relief from persistent pain and/or swelling? Best known for resolving and relieving symptoms of lym- phedema, MLDT is now being applied to a wide range of physical conditions including improvements in immune function, reduction of in fl ammation, detoxi fi cation of soft tissue and organs, alleviation of pain and more. MLDT can even help you battle fatigue and general discomfort. The Importance of the Lymphatic System Your lymphatic system, part of your immune system, has many functions. They include protecting your body from illness-causing invaders, maintaining body fl uid levels, absorbing digestive tract fats and removing cellular waste. In simple terms, it is your garbage disposal and recycling center. And we all know what hap- pens when garbage is not taken out! It also carries white blood cells to repair your tissues and fi ght infections. Stagnation lymphatic system can cause a mul- titude of problems. The Hands On Approach At Hands On, we use a total body balance approach, whereas both internal and external swelling is effectively addressed. We do not necessarily even need to know exactly where the stagnation is located! We prepare the body to promote whole body (systemic) drainage. The goal is to show the body how to self-correct and move any stagnant fl uid that may be having a negative impact on the body. We call on the lymph nodes to pump and fi lter! We call on the skin to get the mo- tors running directly underneath it, engaging those lymph collectors to get mov- ing! We take advantage of the natural ability of the lymphatic network of vessels to work together! Yes, we can call on one part of the body, to help other parts! Treatment duration and frequency depend on the severity of the problem and the individual. Be assured that our goal is to have you come in for treatment and have you discharged as soon as possible.

Conditions often treated by MLDT • Body Aches and Pains • Complex Regional Pain Syndrome • Herniated Discs- Pre and Post-Surgical Procedures • Fibromyalgia • Stiffness

• Depression – Swelling or Edema • Skin Disorders • Fatigue • Insomnia • Stress • Digestive Problems • Arthritis • Migraine Episodes • Allergies

We are committed to life-long learning, even training and studying the neuro-lymphatic system, which is just coming into its own. We are always looking to improve patient care, enhance our existing skills and keep up with advancements in our fi eld. All of our MLD therapists are certi fi ed through the Manual Lymph Drainage Institute and have completed additional hands-on hours, training, and mentorship with me to perfect their skills.

The newest trend in fashion is sustainability.

Sustainable fashion embodies con- scious fashion. Clothes that are made eco-friendly, are locally sourced, mind- ful of workers conditions and wages, recycled or upcycled. The best part of the fashion industry is that it is consumer driven. As more consumers buy from companies that are mindful of the way their clothes are produced and sold, more clothing brands will change their production method.

With styles overturning one day to the next, fashion brands thought they had figured out the best way to maintain momentum. Sending manufacturing to developing countries, utilizing their cheap labor and quick construction, while keeping costs down and profits up.

Creating what is now known as “Fast Fashion.”

One of the most popular “Fast Fash- ion” brands today is Shein. Their ability to mass produce clothes at low prices is astounding to most, but a bit dis- tasteful when you realize how. Ac- cording to Business Insider, Shein workers are paid less than 4 cents for every low quality garment they pro- duce. They work 18 hour days and 75 hour weeks. This enables their company to sell trending styles at such low prices. The mass production of clothes has an unethical and serious impact on workers and our environment. Manufacturing factories release C02 and other greenhouse gasses pollut- ing the air we breathe. But the air isn’t the only thing that our clothes are pol- luting. The fashion industry is one of the largest water consumers in the world. It takes about 7,000 liters of water to make a single pair of jeans, polluting fresh waterways with toxic chemicals. Not to mention that most mass pro- duced clothes are made from nylon, spandex and polyester. These very cheap materials are not grown natu- rally, and take almost 200 years to decompose when discarded. As the world is becoming a more en- vironmentally conscious place, the fashion industry is starting to trail be- hind it. Brands like Patagonia and Levis have been making changes to- ward sustainability that consumers are flocking to.

The way consumers purchase clothes can also support the movement.

Thrifting clothes, or swapping an old pair of jeans is a great way to get new pieces while supporting the cause. Doing this eliminates the large amount of clothes that contributes to waste piles. Sabrina Macchio, the founder and de- signer of By Sabrina Jade says, “Pur- chase pieces that you can and will wear again. It’s truly not about the amount of pieces of clothing you own, it’s how you style those pieces.”

Macchio practices what she preaches and is building her brand respectively.

Her main focus is everyday, day-to- night, and seasonless fashion to en- sure her customers get the most out of her high-quality products. The young designer has made sure that she partners with manufacturers that share her same agenda. She says “The must haves are: Ethical working conditions, minimal environmental im- pact, and slow fashion model.” These characteristics separate quality brands from fast fashion brands. As a consumer, pay attention to com- panies that are transparent about their production processes and practice conscious fashion.

May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month and while you may be thinking you are usually careful, you might want to think again. In 2021, the CDC shared that “approximately 476,000 Americans are diagnosed and treated for Lyme disease” each year. It seems that the number of ticks carrying the disease increases annually and in 2021, Fox 5 reported that on Long Island and in Connecti- cut, a whopping 56% of ticks carried the disease. This is a health risk for both people and pets. So how can you keep yourself safe from the dreaded tick bite? First, you must arm yourself with knowledge. You’ll find ticks in the grass, as in

your own backyard, and in wooded areas. If you are a gardener, camper, hunter, or just enjoy the outdoors, you are likely to come across ticks. Make sure that when enjoying time outdoors, you wear light-colored cloth- ing, so that you see the ticks more easily. You can also use a repellant on your shoes and clothing, and there are many options available, both chemical and organic. Make sure to brush your clothes off before you enter your home, and take a shower, checking your body for any ticks that may have slipped under your clothes. Treating your outdoor home area is another way to help avoid a tick bite. There are, again, both chemical and organic treatments that you can hire a company to spray or that you can do yourself. The same goes for your pets. You’ll want to treat them with a preventative of some sort, which you can get from your vet or pet store. It’s important to check your pet for ticks daily during peak seasons, the

warmer months, even if they are being treated with a preventative. If you do get bit, don’t panic. Not all ticks carry Lyme disease. You should, however, pull it gently from your skin with a tweezer and save it in a small plastic container or Ziploc bag, and store it in the freezer. You can take the tick to a doctor to get it tested for Lyme straight away, or you can wait to see if you develop symptoms such as the classic Bull’s Eye rash, flu- like symptoms, fever, stiff neck, or headaches. If you develop these symptoms and don’t recall getting bitten by a tick, you can still request Lyme testing from your doctor. As the warmer weather rolls in, don’t worry about being outside. Simply take precautions and make sure to check for ticks on yourself, family members, and pets daily.

A s a manufacturer, Royal Windows and Doors wants their customers to rest assured that they are receiving top-quality products that will with- stand weather and time. Having just celebrated their 34th anniversary this past February, owner George Efthymiou credits their success to their commitment to quality and approaching customer service from a con- sumer’s perspective. George has had quite the journey as an immigrant from Cyprus, to now running a manufacturing and re- tail sales company with two show rooms in Bay Shore and Commack. After moving to the States for graduate school and completing a Ph.D. in chemical engineer- ing, George took what he thought would be a tempo- rary stint at a factory job with some friends in order to support his family. As it turns out, he was in it for the long haul. After the original owners moved onto other endeavors, George’s two brothers joined, and to- gether they grew the company. Today, their sister and nephew along with George’s son are also part of the Royal team. Royal Windows and Doors provides design and in- stallation services across both Nassau and Suffolk counties. Their products are designed and manufac- tured in-house. Royal’s priority is providing the highest caliber products to his customers, which to him means energy-efficient, durable, and long-lasting. What sets Royal apart from big corporate competitors and other distributors is that their customers know exactly where their product is coming from. The entire Royal team cares about providing customers with products that are best-suited to their needs, from the quality of their doors and windows, to designs that are sure to boost their homes’ curb-appeal.

If you won’t take our word for it, just take a look at Royal’s online reviews. Customers consistently praise precise measurements, attention to detail, the profes- sionalism of the installation crew, and the outstanding quality and design of the products. George says that after a job is finished, they hadn’t been in the habit of asking customers to leave reviews of their experi- ences. Customers are so thrilled with their end results that they go out of their way to take the time to leave reviews. George’s approach to customer service is from a consumer’s perspective. He treats customers as he himself would want to be treated, and genuinely wants what’s best for their homes. Over 34 years, Royal Windows and Doors has been awarded Bethpage Federal Credit Union’s Best of LI Award multiple times. Combined with high stan- dards for quality and customer service, George attrib- utes Royal’s success to a lot of hard work, a lack of friction between his business partners (which is easy to say when they’re your brothers), and his ability to solve problems – a skill he developed in graduate school. When asked if there was anything he would like to share with our readers, George said he wants them to know that “the best thing that a prospective consumer should keep in mind is that they can use the entire Royal team as a resource. Not only as a place that makes windows and doors, but as a resource to find information, get advice, and access designs.” For your next home improvement project, you can be confident that Royal Windows and Doors will point you in the right direction and provide long-lasting products that are well-worth the investment. View their gallery on their website, royalwindowsanddoors.com and visit a show room in Bay Shore or Commack.

HERE IS HOW YOU DO IT: Place butter and water in a medium size saucepan; stir over high heat and bring to a rapid boil. Reduce heat to a low setting. Add flour and salt at once and stir quickly. The flour mixture will come away from the sides of the pan and gather together to form a dough ball. Remove from heat. Crack an egg into a small bowl then stir into the batter; mix fast until fully incorporated. Repeat for remaining eggs. Drop by heaping tablespoons or put dough in a pastry bag and squeeze out mounds of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake at 350 ° until puffed and golden brown for 35-40 minutes. Remove from the oven and place in a draft-free space until completely cooled. In a medium size bowl, beat cream and pudding with a hand mixer until well combined. Cut off tops of puffs, carefully scoop out any extra inside dough, and fill with pudding mixture. Store in the fridge and enjoy!

Yield: 12- 16 depending on size Time: 90 minutes HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED: 1 stick unsalted butter 1 cup water 1 cup flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 4 eggs 2 cups heavy cream 1 package vanilla instant pudding

As winter in New York was breathing its last chilly breath, we hurried up spring a bit by embarking on Avalon Waterway’s

“Tulip Time in Holland and Belgium” river cruise. In March, we set sail for a stellar week of historic sights, fascinating tours, delicious food and outstanding accommodations. We have sailed on a few European river cruises in the past and Avalon’s “Tulip Time” cruise was always on the top of my “to sail” list. I’m always looking for an easy start and end to our vacations and due to flying from JFK, this cruise checked that box off. Delta flies nonstop to Amsterdam as well as non-stop home from Brussels, thus making our flight arrangements very easy. Tulips in Holland are in bloom for less than 2 months a year from mid-late March to early May, and what a magical time it is! The actual timing is weather dependent, so if tulip viewing is #1 on your vacation list, book your cruise in April to be safe. We embarked on Avalon’s “Imagery II” in Amsterdam and were wowed by the subtle beauty of the décor and the incredibly warm

greeting we received from the staff. Holding only 128 passengers and 37 crew, there were never lines for anything. By day two everyone was familiar, and the ship felt like home. Our week’s ports were three cities in Holland and three cities in Belgium. Avalon includes a choice of 2 or 3 guided tours each day. They offer Active, Classic or Discovery along with optional ones you can purchase if you like. Sailing on a river cruise is one of the most relaxing vacations you can take as all the planning is done for you. Avalon includes a daily complimentary shore excursion, complimentary wine, beer and soda at lunch, dinner and happy hour and free WiFi. You unpack only once and enjoy your spacious cabin for the week as your ship sails onto the next port and your next adventure. For information and booking click on www.avalonwaterways.com

by Marc Piperno Since 2005, Blackstone Steakhouse has raised the bar when delivering prime cuts of beef and seafood offerings with the fusion of artful Japanese Sushi. Located in the heart of Melville's business district, Blackstone is a popular draw for hundreds of corporate offices with a strong following of customers that come Island-wide. Sister restaurants include Rare 650- Syosset, Insignia-Smithtown, Opus Steakhouse-Jericho and Bijou of Melville. As its name suggests, a decor of quarry stone, warm woods with contem- porary appointments are all the allure. General manager Dodo Tecusan has been an integral part of the Scotto family of restaurants since 2005. As Mr.Tecusan explained to me,“Our goal is to make every customer feel like they are the most important person on earth.This is our philosophy, and it shows.” Dodo is also very proud to share with me that Blackstone is only one of two restaurants along the entire eastern seaboard that have the right to serve authentic Kobe beef. It is a special certification that Blackstone proudly displays. A diverse menu has been designed to appeal to a wide spectrum of clientele. Signature steaks include the classic Bone-in Ribeye, which is my go-to every time I come to dine; flash-broiled with charred exterior, always comes to a perfect medium rare. Equally popular is the Kurobuta Japanese Pork Chop.A bountiful portion, served with Mitsu apple celery root puree, soy-braised bacon and Asian yam. Seafood favs include the Lime N’ Co- conut Chilean Seabass, prepared in a lime and coconut marinade, then en- crusted in coconut and macadamia nuts which elevate the flavor profile and texture of this firm yet delicate cut. Beautifully presented with purple yam, drops of aji chili and cucumber salad. For me, the sides are what pull everything together. A sumptuous se- lection of roasted brussels sprouts, crispy fried onions, hash brown and lobster mac and cheese... well the list goes on. Don’t stress, order a few for the table.Their sushi and signature rolls keep in step with all that ex- cites its patrons. Prepared by their inhouse Master Sushi Chef, Blackstone will win you over with their original sushi creations that work well for a starter or as a complete dinner. I like to start with one of their signature rolls, like their "Volcano,” made with king crab, pepper tuna, drizzled with a Honey Wasabi Sauce.You have to try the "Blackstone Supreme", prepared with Wagyu Beef, avocado, spicy tuna and king Crab in eel sauce, scallion, tobiko. With my Makers Mark Bourbon, it doesn’t get much better than this. The list of Signature Rolls and Special Rolls goes on. Whatever you try, you are certain to enjoy. Blackstone's is the perfect setting for corpo- rate functions or any special occasion. Classic ambience, outstanding food, and impeccable service have made Blackstone Steakhouse who they are.
