38 l styleline SEPT14 l LINEUP l WE LIKE YOUR STYLE
In 2008, inexplicably struggling to hit high
notes, Warner found a lump at the base of her
throat: thyroid cancer, quickly dismissed by
physicians as curable.
“You hear this a lot,” says Warner, who was
38 at the time. “That it’s super easy to take
out, and you are good to go.”
In fact, thyroid cancer is the most rapidly
increasing cancer in the U.S., affecting three
times as many women as men, according to
the American Cancer Society.
But Warner’s case wasn’t so simple. What
surgeons found was a “tumor explosion,”
Warner says.
“During surgery, my left lower laryngeal
nerve was cut, permanently paralyzing my
vocal cord,” she says.
The news that she might never speak
again, much less sing, preceded the kind of
advice no mother ever wants to hear: Make
preparations because the
prognosis is bad.
Yet when radioactive
treatment confined the
tumor to her neck, Warner
became the easy thyroid
cancer case again…until
months later when the
tumor returned. And so it
went. Between 2009 and
2010, Warner underwent
additional surgeries and
grueling external beam
radiation.
“Throughout all of this,
I asked, ‘Why me?’ But then I thought, ‘Why
wouldn’t it be me? Why would I be exempt?’
My focus was to act healthy so those around
me wouldn’t freak out…With cancer, if you
feel a little down, everyone around you feels
ten times worse,” Warner says.
To buoy her mood, Warner, still working
as a pharmaceutical sales rep, turned to her
college pick-me-up, lipstick.
“In between visiting offices, I’d journal
about what lipstick I was wearing,”
Warner says.
Soon she was guest blogging on thyroid
cancer sites, eventually building her own blog,
Anna’s Lipstick Journey, to share her sunny
perspective. On each post, she dedicates a
paragraph to the lipstick she’s wearing that
day, followed by an upbeat closing thought.
After working diligently to regain vocal
cord function, Warner inspired female
triathletes by singing the national anthem
before participating in the 2013 Esprit de
She in Naperville, Illinois. And each year
since 2008, she has performed at World
Voice Day, a celebration of the voice held
in collaboration with St. John Hospital
and Warner’s physician, Adam Rubin, M.D.,
with metro Detroit’s Lakeshore Ear, Nose,
Throat Center, P.C. Warner also mentors
through cancer support groups Imerman
Angels and I Had Cancer.
Throughout, Warner developed a
new perspective.
“You don’t have to look sick to be sick,”
she says. “That’s the case for cancer, for
mental illness, anything. That’s why I see
people differently now.”
Today, Warner has something new to sing
about. Last June, for the first time
since 2008, Warner’s tests came
back completely cancer-free.
“I’m unstoppable now. The
future is blown wide open,”
she says.
Having already published a
collection of blog posts as a book
called “My Lipstick Journey
Through Cancer,” Warner says
she hopes to continue mentoring
and writing, using her beautiful,
newfound voice to support others.
“One of the things that breaks
my heart is to see people alone; I love
inspiring people and turning their minds
around,” she says. “Being positive is just a
mindset after all, and that’s what my blog is
about. There is so much awesomeness going
on and globally, we need more of that.”
Anna Warner lives in Shelby Township
with her three children, who are 11, 14
and 16. Read her blog at www.lipstick-

Cancer Survivor Anna Warner Finds New Voice
By Claire Charlton Photo by Leanna Vite Photography
Anna Warner’s voice has a breathy, soft-roughness that flows in and out of her speech. It hasn’t always been this way.
A professional singer, Warner made a living from her strong, clear voice. But the Detroit mother, mentor, blogger
and positive thinker says she doesn’t mind the change. These days, she’s finding her voice in new ways.
“I’m
unstoppable now.
The future
is blown
wide open.”

DOWN TO BUSINESS l LINEUP l STYLELINEMAG.COM l 39
“It became clear that what
was increasingly important for
The Henry Ford was to gain
more of a national reputation,”
Mooradian says. “We re-wrote
the strategic plan with the goals
of sustainability, relevance,
community impact and national
awareness. We maintain these
goals now.”
Although the mission to
make The Henry Ford a multi-
day, multi-venue attraction
that draws local, national and
international visitors has been
successful – for example, last
year’s Titanic traveling exhibit
generated huge buzz and attendance for Henry Ford Museum – it has
not been without obstacles. But, as Mooradian will attest, it’s hard to
walk through the museum halls or village grounds without hearing
whispers of inspiration from the enterprising spirits of Henry Ford
and others who saw a problem as simply a challenge begging
for a solution.
So, when the economy took a nosedive and people’s disposable
incomes – crucial to any tourist or educational attraction – went
with it, Mooradian and her team decided to take advantage of the
newfound popularity of “staycations.”
“While vacations were declining, we gave people something to do
staying in town,” says Mooradian, who spent more than a decade as
a marketing director for shopping centers owned by The Taubman
Company. “It worked to our advantage, and we made a continued
investment in new products in that time period.”
Mooradian says the other big change she’s encountered during
her presidency is the shift in technology. How to face it? Meld the
past with the future, of course.
“We see [the Internet] as an enormous opportunity to expand
our brand,” Mooradian says. “We have a strong focus on digitizing
the collection and bringing it
to the world in new, interesting
ways. We are just now
scratching the surface. It really is
a whole new world.”
A Pennsylvania native who
moved to Michigan nearly
three decades ago, Mooradian
says through the years, she’s
often turned to her children,
ages 18 and 20, to ensure The
Henry Ford stays relevant for
visitors of all ages.
“While we are an education
destination with a strong
mission of innovation,
resourcefulness and ingenuity,
we are also a fun place to visit, and it’s important to have fresh, new
things to keep people coming,” she says.
Mooradian also makes it a point to regularly step outside of the
office, talk to staff and enjoy the attractions she’s worked so hard
to tell the world about.
Her favorite? “There are so many, but it’s hard not to be inspired
by Menlo Park lab and Thomas Edison…I learn something new
every time I’m there, and those tidbits often help me think about
something in a different way,” she says.
Although Mooradian also serves on numerous boards, she says
time with friends and family, including regular vacations with her
children, is a must.
“It’s kind of a blurry line between what’s fun and what’s
work because I love my work,” she says. “But I always make sure
to put family first.”
She says she’s inspired daily by staff members and advises others
who envision a leadership role to treat others with consideration.
“If you truly care about people and are kind to people, you will
get far in life,” she says. “Give your all, do a good job, stay open
minded and doors open.”
“It’s kind of a blurry line between
what’s fun and what’s work because
I love my work. But I always make
sure to put family first.”

CEO of The Henry Ford

Patricia Mooradian might be the leader of a world-renowned institution that celebrates innovation, but she’s also
pretty innovative herself. Since joining The Henry Ford in 2000 as the newly created position of vice president
of programming and marketing, Mooradian, who was named president and CEO in 2005, has been a driving
force of major changes at the Dearborn historical attraction. Those changes include the $70 million restoration of
Greenfield Village, opening of the Ford Rouge Factory Tour, Benson Ford Research Center and IMAX Theatre, as
well as a slew of exciting permanent and traveling exhibits at Henry Ford Museum.

Don’t Forget to Be a
Grateful Guest!
Let the hostess know she’s the mostest
with a meaningful token of gratitude.
Frames always make a picture-perfect
gift. Take a fun photo at the party and turn
it into a memorable keepsake.
My playgroup moms have an informal
contest to see who can capture the craziest
photo at moms’ night out. I love to pick
up frames at Anthropologie and Kohl’s
because they offer a large selection of cute
styles but aren’t too expensive.
For an easy pick-me-up and take-me-
away gift, pair a bottle of wine with Calgon
and a fun note. I also like family board
games or anything homemade,
such as pie or jam. I often gift a
hardcover copy of a favorite book
with an inscribed message and
favorite family recipe for hot cocoa.
If the hostess has children, then
mommies always appreciate gifts
for the kids. The Bake
Station in Farmington
Hills, 248.626.9000,
makes great nut-free
cupcakes, and Gayle’s
Chocolates in Royal Oak,

Reconnecting This School Year (With Moms!)
Danialle Karmanos
When you have a unique feature, such as a “unicorn” at your party, you don’t need much else.
With school
back in session,
moms are
often looking
for ways to
reconnect
with fellow
school moms,
and there’s
no better way
than a potluck
party. Make it fun and easy with tips
from local experts.
“Having the correct mix of people is the
key to a great party,” says celebrity event
planner Mikki Gardner, owner of Mood
Events, 248.341.3828.
A good group of guests will affect the
energy of the event, and a great guest will
have fun no matter what.
I love being part of a team, which is
exactly what a potluck provides. It gets your
guests invested in the experience simply by
bringing a favorite small plate or dessert to
share. I am a huge fan of appetizers and can’t
resist a seven-layer dip!
Consider offering an autumn-inspired
spiked cider as guests arrive.
“Take the time to think out every aspect
of the event to make sure all of the bases are
covered,” Gardner says. “Walk through the
event in your head so that you know what
guests will see, smell, hear
and feel throughout the party.”
A theme can help set the tone and
bring the experience together. And one
or two unexpected elements can make a
huge impression.
I have organized a tea party for fun
philanthropist Gretchen Davidson to
support the Karmanos Cancer Institute
and decided to make the party magically
memorable by surprising the guests with a
theme of fairytale and whimsy, hiring a local
“unicorn” from Chamberlin Pony Rides in
Dexter, 734.368.6582, to greet guests.
We laughed so hard that we almost forgot to
sip our tea.
A party with a nervous hostess
can make guests feel awkward and anxious.
For a bigger bash, David McKnight of
Emerald City Designs in Farmington Hills,
248.474.7077, recommends hiring help to
add ease.
“Having support relieves stress and allows
the hostess to concentrate on her needs,”
McKnight says. “There is a lot of emotion
that goes into planning a party.”
I prefer a party that is well-planned with a
dash of disaster; it’s a sanity-saving concept
when planning a party. Be prepared for
the unexpected. If the meal you planned is
unexpectedly inedible, laugh it off, order a
pizza, kick off your shoes – heck, even light
some candles. Then put out the Oberweis ice
cream cake, which never goes wrong.
Remember, fancy is fun, but everyone
loves pizza and ice cream cake out of
the box!
XOXO, Danialle

seven grandkids, ages 3 to 11. I want to
make them feel special. They have their
own bedrooms, and there is a girls playroom
and a boys playroom.”

throughout.

The fairytale façade may be magnificent, but the interiors of this 30,000-square-foot Bloomfield Hills residence
are as warm and inviting as the homeowner, Dr. Farideh R. Bagne, who gives house tours in heels.
Antique silverware tops the dining room table that still has Bagne’s son’s teeth marks on the

playhouse of sorts with spaces that include
everything from a casino designated for
charitable events to a music room and a
home theater with a stage geared toward
live performances.
“The grandchildren are always putting on
plays and entertaining us,” Bagne says.
Personal History
The house was under construction when
Bagne bought it, and she did the design
work herself.
“I genuinely love to decorate homes in my
style,” she says. “I like to have pieces from
all over the world – Jamaica, Italy, Belgium,
India – from my travels. I like to decorate
them based on that.”
She doesn’t take this responsibility lightly.
“I like the hominess of a home that makes
you feel alive and happy,” she says. “Each
house has a soul that represents the attitude
of the owner toward life.”
The tearoom is a delightful destination for the grandchildren who can’t
wait to have tea parties with their beloved grandmother.

The library is a highly coveted spot,
especially come winter.
“It’s the favorite place for me and for the
grandkids,” Bagne says. “There is a very
large collection of books and a very large
collection of children’s books. They just pick
one and sit by the fireplace.”
She also favors her home office in the
lower hall.
“I spend a lot of time in there,” she says.
Meetings are held at the boardroom table,
which converts to a billiard table.

Take a look inside this highly personalized
home and others during the Birmingham
House Tour. The Community House
will host its 27th annual Birmingham
House Tour on Tuesday, September
16. Proceeds from the tour are used
to fund TCH Outreach programs for
at-risk youth.
This year’s tour presents six
spectacular homes that showcase
the best of Birmingham and Bloomfield.
The homes range in style from traditional
to contemporary.
The event, presented by Hall &
Hunter Realtors, runs from 9:30 a.m.
to 3:30 p.m. The cost per person
is $40 in advance or $45 the day
of the tour. Advance reservations
are recommended.
In addition, a salad buffet luncheon,
sponsored by Raymond James, will be
offered from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on
the Van Dusen Terrace of The Community
House. Purchased in advance, the cost to
attend the tour and luncheon is $55; $60
day of the tour. Other sponsors for the
event include Gorman’s and Ethan Allen.
The Community House is located at
380 South Bates St. in Birmingham.

The European-style village, slated to
begin opening this fall, will bear a likeness
to her home.
Labor of Love
Everything in her house was done by hand,
such as the detailed woodwork in every
room. Reclaimed materials from the old
Spanish mansion that once sat on
the site include Pewabic tiles and select
wood floors.
Bagne designed all the landscaping,
along with the splendid fountain at the
entry, which represents past, present and
future, with the homeowner and her family
members symbolized by a variety of statues.
“The water flows continuously from past
to present to future,” she says. “It’s a circle
of life.”
With so many distinct spaces, from a
guest apartment with a separate entrance to
a tearoom for the grandkids, this is clearly a
place to be enjoyed by people of all ages.
“The first thing my grandchildren say
is, ‘Let’s have a tea party,’” Bagne says.
“It doesn’t matter how old they are.”
Her sons and daughters-in-law like to
join in, too. 

Paul Feiten, owner of Paul Feiten Design in
Bloomfield Hills, is asked often to refresh existing
china cabinets.
“I’m always after the right shapes and
silhouettes, like putting a round plate on a stand
next to some horizontal books with a sculpture
on top of them,” he says. “When you have the
same china cabinet for a long time, it’s good to
switch it up.”
The designer suggests making an impact with
silver, which can include anything from sterling
to mercury glass and mirrors.
“On the same note, you might do everything in
all white porcelain,” he says. “It’s a wowzer.”
Display a graceful pitcher with a large compote
and some platters.
“When everything is white, it’s a knockout
look,” Feiten says. “For fall or winter, do a
friendly combination of silver and porcelain
with bronze statues, gold leaf frames and
personal mementoes.”
For entertaining, Feiten believes in organizing
your home like a department store.
“You should have a candle department, a
napkin department, etc.,” he says. Baskets with
lids on lower shelves act as convenient storage
compartments for necessities.
A long wall can accommodate multiple china
cabinets for additional storage and display
space. Sometimes people buy a china cabinet in
anticipation of doing a collection, such as
Arts and Crafts-style pottery, Feiten says. In other
cases, they already have a collection, such as his
client with an extensive assortment of silver that
had been packed away.
If you inherit a family heirloom cabinet, it can
always be revived. Feiten likes to paint the inside
with a lively shade, such as chartreuse, for a
collection of crystal or white porcelain.
“All of a sudden Grandma has a new dress, and
she’s looking good,” he says.
DISHING IT OUTBy Jeanine Matlow
Dining rooms run the risk of being predictable with the requisite seating and a
sideboard or a buffet. That’s where a china cabinet comes into play as a place to
organize and display your wares. With fall fast approaching, it’s time to make yours
shine and liven up your entertaining base in the process.

Choose
interchangeable
china, stemware and

patterns, as well as the
shapes; you can still
create a cohesive look.
Add single or double
charger plates. After
the salad, remove the
charger. If you layer
them, you’ll have one

for the entree.
Personalized menu
cards tell guests
where to sit and
what to expect.
Place a round card
between a clear glass
plate and a charger or
slip the card inside the
napkin fold.
Embellish your
napkins with ribbons,
tags, florets or small
favors for your guests.
Recreate your dining
space with a specialty
linen tablecloth that
goes to the floor
and an overlay with
an embellishment.
Whether your table
features a glass top
or traditional wood,
adding a custom or
layered covering will
reinvent the style and
the space.
Add candles in
mercury vases or
cylinders, or choose
simple votives or
floating candles.
Pillars or tall tapered
candles are popular.
For flameless candles,
find containers with
a frosted element
or textured glass
for that flicker-and-
glow effect.
Whether you prefer
traditional or a
unique, modern floral
design, a themed
centerpiece can be
made from anything.
Create a collection
in the center
of the table by
layering books with
magnifying glasses.
Mirrors reflect
other elements.
Try mirrored tops
on tables beneath a
floating centerpiece
with candles, or
cover the entire table
with mirror for a
sharp look.
Favors are always
appreciated.
Give your guests
something to take
home, including
bookmarks,
paperweights or wine
stoppers. Or present
something edible,
such as an individually
wrapped treat from
your favorite bakery.
Rent special chairs,
such as Chiavari, and

Your hair care
products primer
By Cathy Nelson
Standing in front of shelves
filled with hair care products
when you’re shopping or
at the salon can make you
feel like a kid in a candy store:
so many pretty packages,
so many choices, but oh,
where to start?
To help narrow things down,
we turned to local experts and
asked them to give us the scoop
on what products work best for
what hair types, along with when
and how you should use each one
to achieve optimal results. We also
asked them to share their favorites.
So, while we can’t help you at the
confectionary, their advice should
make your next hair product
purchase a piece of cake.

Mousse
Remember in the ‘80s when
mousse was all the rage?
It’s still a great way to add
weightless volume to fine
or thin hair, says Brigitte
Rist, owner of Loulou
Salon in Grosse Pointe.
How to use: Apply
when your hair is damp
or towel-dried, not soaking
wet. “It gets sticky quickly,
so it’s something you want
to dry right away,” says
Katrina Malota, stylist at
Luigi Bruni Salon in
Birmingham, who also has a
blog, www.thekattsmeow.com.
Bonus tip: If you have
curly hair, then mousse can
be used to refresh your curls
when hair is dry. Rist suggests
applying a small amount to the
palm of your hands and then lightly
patting the product throughout
your tresses.
Try: Bumble &
Bumble Thickening
Full Form Mousse,
$29, Luigi Bruni
Salon, 248.723.1500,
which inflates hair
as you add heat;
or Prive Shining
Weightless Amplifier,
$31, Loulou Salon,
313.647.0525, a versatile
combo mousse/gel.
Gel
Malota says this product
can be used two different
ways: to give short hair
separation and texture,
or to calm down unruly
hairlines and create
structure for those
with long hair.
How to use: Apply to
towel-dried hair, then style
with a dryer or air-dry.
Bonus tip: If it’s a
textured look you seek, then
you can apply gel to dry
hair. “Remember, use gel in
moderation. A little goes a
long way, so don’t overuse,”
Rist says.
Try: Philip B Styling
Gel, $19, Luigi Bruni
Salon, 248.723.1500, with
enriching Vitamin B5 and
gel-like seaweed extracts; or
Prive Relaxing Gel, $28, Loulou
Salon, 313.647.0525, with chamomile
and lemongrass.
Styling Cream
Whether you have straight or curly
hair, creams can provide a soft hold
and create texture and definition, Rist
says. Creams can also keep hair frizz-
free and soft.
How to use: Rub a small amount
between your fingers and apply when
hair is damp.
Bonus tip: Cream is a super tool
to tame flyaways or add shine to a
smooth look post-styling.
Try: Prive Grooming Crème,
$28, Loulou Salon, 313.647.0525,
a lightweight formula with rosemary
and blue green algae.
Gloss/Serum
These products are for just about
everyone, Malota says. “They can be
used on all hair types, depending on
what you’d like to achieve, mainly
because they’re great for shine and to
nourish hair,” she adds.
How to use: The less hair you
have, the less you should use. “Try
starting with a dime size, or [applying
an amount] the size of two quarters
if your hair is crazy thick and curly,”
Malota says. Put on wet hair just before
blow-drying, or use a touch when hair is
completely dry.
Bonus tip: Remember, both these
products can turn hair oily if you use
too much, Malota warns. If you do go
overboard, Rist suggests using dry
shampoo, sprayed at arm’s length, to
subdue greasiness.
Try: Oribe Gold Lust light oil, $48,
Luigi Bruni Salon, 248.723.1500.
Finishing Spray
This final touch for hair care routines
can be part of anyone’s regimen, Rist
says. “Finishing spray may be used on all
hair types; however, frizzy and coarse
hair would benefit the most,” she adds.
How to use: As the final step
when hair is dry – after all it is
“finishing” spray.
Bonus tip: Applying properly will
give you a workable, flexible hold.
“Make sure hair is dry,
or you can get an ‘‘80s
scrunch’ look. You can
apply a good amount
of this product because
it is light. It provides
a touchable feel as
opposed to a firm-hold
hairspray where you
have to watch how much
you use,” Rist says.
Try: Prive Finishing
Texture Spray,
$22, Loulou Salon,
313.647.0525, which can
be re-applied throughout
the day or used on
wet hair to amplify
roots; or Kérastase
Laque Dentelle, $35,
Luigi Bruni Salon,
248.723.1500, a micro-
fine diffusion hairspray
that gives flexible, long-
lasting hold. 
Extra Help for Hair
If you have thinning or damaged hair, then you might want to try products specifically
designed for those conditions, says Carol Wagner of Michigan Hair & Skin Center
in Troy. The business offers its own product line, MHSC, $15-$85, Michigan Hair
and Skin Center, 248.678.3633, which includes shampoo, conditioner and
other products designed to restore hair health and stimulate new hair growth.
The products are natural and work on all hair types, Wagner says.
The center also offers MHSC Minoxidol, $70 for a three-month supply, which
slows or stops hair loss, boosts regrowth and can be used every night at bedtime.
“The product has special properties that help it to get to the root of the hair
without drying the scalp out,” Wagner says. “It provides deep penetration to the
base of the hair follicle with less alcohol, which causes dryness.”

OUT IN THE OPENBy Jeanine Matlow
Donna Brown, owner of Dazzling Designs
in Northville, offers some clever ways to
incorporate étagères in your décor.
Certain styles can be placed together to
maximize display space.
“They come in a lot of unique shapes. It’s
nice to add collections and special family
pieces that you have,” Brown says. “Family
photos and stacks of antique books can be
added for color, display and fill-ins.”
Seasonal items – think flowers in the
summer and holiday décor come fall – can
spruce up existing pieces.
“Incorporate something special, like a
backdrop with framed art that eliminates
some wall space or hang a mirror in the back
to get reflections,” Brown says. “If you have
something on the wall, you can do less on
the shelves.”
A pyramid-shaped étagère can be pulled
away from the wall and angled in a corner.
“You’ll need to have things that look good
on all sides, such as glassware and coffee
table books with cool covers,” Brown says.
“As a general rule, consider shapes, color and
texture. Within that, anything goes.”
There’s a method to keeping your collectibles in check. One surefire way to
maintain a sense of order is with an étagère. This open-style shelving lets you
showcase your favorites with a fresh presentation that’s easy on the eyes.

The Dash to Fash Bash®
What to wear to Detroit’s biggest fashion party of the year
By Lindsey Alexander Fash Bash 2013®
Photos by Olga Gamburg
“People like to make their own outfits,” says Nicole Eisenberg, when asked about the looks she’s admired at previous
Fash Bash®
events. “I’ve seen a lot of cool hats and dresses and people going totally out of the fashion realm of
what one would buy in a store, and it comes across so unbelievably cool, because that’s really what it’s about: self-
expression, fashion and art.”
Eisenberg, who sits on the
board at the Detroit Institute of
Arts and has previously co-
chaired Fash Bash®
, has been
part of the event for the past 15
years. Sponsored by StyleLine
magazine, the annual Founders
Junior Council’s Fash Bash®
fundraiser is set for Aug. 14 with
an evening full of art and sartorial
splendor.
The cocktail party at the
beginning of the night is the
perfect place to showcase one’s
fashion know-how, while the
main event – the well-curated
Neiman Marcus runway show – is
sure to get chic shoppers prepped
to procure. Once the show ends,
the celebration continues as
guests dance under the stars.
The event, which began in 1970,
directly supports the DIA’s
new endowment campaign,
helping to ensure the museum’s
sustainability.
So what type of styles will
we see at this year’s event?
Eisenberg says she thinks it will
be interesting to see what people
come up with after star-studded
events, such as the Met Gala and
Cannes red carpet.
“There’s a huge, huge influence
on the crop top with a very
cool, edgy skirt – long or short,”
Eisenberg says. “I think that
for this season, there’s a lot of
botanical prints, and there’s still
color because it’s summer. You’re
going to see everything – that’s
the thing.”
Fash Bash®
takes place on
Thursday, Aug. 14 at the Detroit
Institute of Arts, located at 5200

Jackie Byrne, metro Detroit-
based personal trainer
Favorite App: MyFitnessPal
When I want to use it for a workout, I
can use my phone. If I want to research
recipes or input nutritional information,
then I can use my tablet. It is especially
useful because it tracks both exercise
and nutrition. Without both of these
in check, it is difficult to reach your
fitness goals. It is simple to log your
food intake, and it remembers your
favorite ingredients and recipes for quick
reference later.
It has a great search engine for
finding different exercises and food,
and it calculates all your calories.
As a trainer, this app is great because
I can keep up with my clients. I don’t
always see them as often as I would like,
so this is a nice way to keep them on
track and help them stay motivated.
Favorite Tip: Try different apps,
if you dare. If an app asks for my email
address or to sign up at their website, I try to
stay far away. In addition, apps that give a hard
sell before I use them are a big turnoff.
Apps are nice for those who think it is hard
to stay on track with their fitness.
Debbie Lim, co-director of
Fitness Motivators
Favorite Apps: MapMyWalk,
Azumio Instant Heart Rate
MapMyWalk talks to you and has GPS,
so you can see where you are walking and
the total distance.
Once you are finished, it will tell
you how long and how much time
it took you. You can upgrade, but
the free version works just fine.
I also like the Azumio Instant
Heart Rate app because it is
pretty accurate. I use it to see where
I am for my target heart rate zone
when I exercise. I also use it if
I feel stressed or anxious. Looking
at my heart rate and seeing it go down on
the screen relaxes my breathing and
helps with stress.
SO APPEALING
Fitness experts share their favorite
phone and tablet apps
By Cathy Nelson
With smartphones and tablets becoming such an integral part of our lives, there is no
shortage of fitness apps out there. But with so many choices, it can get downright
confusing when trying to choose one. With that in mind, we asked some of metro Detroit’s
top fitness experts to share with us their favorite fitness apps and tips on using them.
Bonus: All recommended apps are free and available on both Apple and Android platforms.
Favorite Tip: An app should provide
additional motivation and accountability. You don’t
want to be too rigid about it. Because smartphones
are ubiquitous now, people tend to overuse them.
So be careful not to get upset if you forget to log
your nutrition or exercise for the day. The app should
help you get results, but it shouldn’t run your life.
David Krainiak, personal
trainer and former owner of
Michigan’s Adventure
Boot Camps
Favorite App: TabataTimer
With Tabata training, you exercise for
20 seconds and rest for 10 seconds,
then repeat eight times. This, with a
short preparation time before starting,
is a Tabata.
Being a fitness trainer and someone
who is always looking for a challenging
workout, I need something quick and
easy that enhances my job or workout.
Using an app that tells me exactly what
to do doesn’t appeal to me because I
might not agree or necessarily like the
format. TabataTimer is great because
I can continue to create the exercises,
but the app has a timer and bell that goes
off at specific times, so I don’t have to
follow a stopwatch. I utilize this app
when I want to mix up my cardio, and
my regular workout now becomes
something super intense and different.
Favorite Tip: Experiment
with different apps. There are hundreds
of apps, and many of them are free.
Every single person is different, so find a
couple you like because it can really
spice up your workout and
ignite your enthusiasm.

Whether your big day is on the beach, at the park, in the
woods or in an air-conditioned ballroom, the perfect
waterproof mascara is an absolute must for a bride. From
fighting back tears as she meets the love of her life at

plans go awry, the last thing a bride needs to worry about
is raccoon eyes. Here, we highlight some of the best
waterproof mascaras for brides.

What Lies
Beneath
Your wedding dress, veil and
shoes are finalized, your hair
and makeup appointments
are set, but are you sure
about that bra and pantie set
you’ve chosen? What you
wear underneath your gown
serves as the foundation to
a seamless bridal ensemble.
Here, we showcase how
function marries fashion with
the proper undergarments.
Insider Tips
Rebecca Aughton of Bra~vo Intimates in Royal Oak
shares her expert input:
• Shop for your undergarments before you
select your gown. Knowing your correct bust
size, and then trying on wedding dresses
with the right undergarments, will make
choosing the perfect gown a breeze.
• Wear white or ivory intimates.
• Consider wearing a basque, a French word
describing a long bra, which extends from
the brassiere to the waist. A basque cinches
in the waist, lifts the bust and smoothens
your sides.
• If your dress is a silk silhouette, then opt for
seamless undergarments.

Allison Paladino weighs in on timeless features:
• She favors tactile fabrics, such as velvet and chenille, for their durability and their softness.
• The designer likes to incorporate high-quality materials,
including zebrawood and walnut into her pieces, often
mixing them together to great effect.
• Versatility is another consideration. Her oversized
Sooz Console works equally well as a foyer table,
media console or sofa table.

This theory holds true
for Allison Paladino, whose
exquisite line of furniture,
manufactured by EJ Victor
and sold locally at Scott
Shuptrine Interiors, is timeless
in many respects. Inspired
by her love for modernism,
French Deco and the work
of George Nakashima, the
pieces combine function,
comfort and sophistication.
“The more modern styles
can get very trendy,” says
Paladino, an internationally
known interior designer and
owner of Allison Paladino
Interior Design in Jupiter,
Florida, who recently made
an appearance at Scott
Shuptrine Interiors in Royal
Oak. “The last thing you
want to do is make a large
investment and have it go
out of style.”
Because Paladino knows
that furniture can be the
biggest purchase you make for
your home, she creates pieces
you’ll want to keep.
While her romance with
French art deco may be
evident, there is a fresh spin
thrown into the mix.
“The more classical type
of detailing can get very
heavy,” says Paladino, who
incorporates sophisticated
shapes and materials that don’t
take themselves too seriously.
“You can take very classic
elements and make them
more whimsical.”
One of her dining chairs
became a best-seller for EJ
Victor.
“You have to design chairs
with the right pitch if you
want to cater to the masses,”
Paladino says. She notes that
the seat is just as comfortable
for her petite frame as it is for
someone who is six-feet tall.
“We nailed the proportion
of the chair with comfort for
everyone. The tricky part is
not to come up with a bulky
piece of furniture,” says the
designer, who has worked in
Michigan and abroad. “It’s still
very graceful with the splayed
leg in the back and the tapered
leg in front.”
Unique pieces like these are
destined to last.
“It’s like feng shui,” Paladino
says. “Sometimes a piece just
feels good.”

Paint colors may come and go, but the right furniture will earn a more permanent place
in your home. That’s precisely why so much thought goes into the making of finer
pieces that are meant to stick around.
The Movement Coffee Table features a rosewood and parchment finish.
Art deco and classical influences can be seen in the
furniture designed by Paladino. Distinctive details
and fine materials make them timeless.
