In light of yesterday’s TikTok fiasco, we wanted to share a great resource for all your social media needs. Alison Lukin is the founder and CEO of Officially Social, a local social media agency offering businesses the tools and support they need to grow their online presence.

Here’s a sneak peek of why Alison says we should spend less time worrying about what others think about our social media content, and how her “Island Theroy” is a better perspective of our online presence:

“We all spend vast amounts of time doomscrolling on social media – there’s a reason that we’re all so involved. It’s interesting. But the amount of time spent with each post doesn’t warrant the scrutiny of the warts you’re afraid will be exposed. There’s always something new coming up on our own personal information superhighway. Remember, your audience is spending less time overthinking what you’ve shared than you ever will agonizing over how it will reflect upon you.

I think the island theory is really freeing, Alison admits. “You put yourself out there more because you’re not worrying about what every single person in your life is going to think. Just because you’re not a permanent resident on my island doesn’t mean that I don’t love and care for you very much. I love and care for every single person that touches my island very much - you’re important to me. But I just only take the thoughts and feelings of my permanent residents into consideration when I’m making personal decisions. If someone on my island voices negative opinion or disapproval about me or something that I’m doing, I think to myself ‘are my permanent residents cool with what I’m doing?’ If the answer is yes, then everything is good.”

Starting a new year with the goal of better health is inspiring and achievable. In this month's issue, Hope Weston outlines a few simple steps to making safer food choices.

🍎Reading Labels: A Key to Safer Choices
The USDA Organic label means the product is free from GMOs, synthetic pesticides, herbicides like Roundup, sewage sludge, antibiotics, and chemical fertilizers. Conversely, the non-GMO Project Verified label means the product doesn’t contain GMOs, but it doesn’t account for other chemicals, so it’s important to understand these differences.

🍓Decoding Produce Stickers
Those little stickers on fruits and vegetables can be a hassle to remove, but they carry important information. A five-digit code starting with 9 signifies organic produce, while a four-digit code starting with 4 means it’s conventionally grown, often with chemicals and pesticides. If you see a five-digit code beginning with 8, that means the produce is genetically modified (GMO).

🦞Seafood Choices: Farmed or Wild-Caught?
Seafood from the U.S. generally adheres to stricter standards than some imported options, making it a good choice for your health and the environment.

🍽️The Impact of Chemicals on Health
Since the 1950s, the FDA has approved over 10,000 chemicals in U.S. food products, while Europe has only about 700 approved chemicals. Additionally, synthetic chemicals have become more prevalent in our homes since the 1940s, yet under 5% of these chemicals have been tested for toxicity. This includes ingredients in everyday items like laundry detergents, household cleaners, and pesticides. These chemicals are suspected of impacting health, potentially creating toxic environments in our homes.

💪Empower Yourself with Informed Choices
You hold the power to impact your health. By educating yourself, you’re taking a major step toward a healthier life. Look for companies with high ratings from the Better Business Bureau, and whenever possible, shop locally.

Here’s to a new year filled with good choices, healthier habits, and a brighter, sustainable future.

Eating hummus with pita bread from Syrian stores in Paterson is one of Kim Cera’s favorite childhood memories. Her mother’s family is 100% Syrian, and every Sunday the ENTIRE extended family would gather around a long table eating delicious Syrian food!

If you’re looking for a healthy, homemade snack option this year, we highly recommend you try her easy and delicious recipe!

✨1/2 cup EVOO
✨1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
✨1 garlic clove
✨1/2 tsp salt
✨1/2 tsp cumin
✨1/3 cup tahini

Blend ingredients in blender until smooth (~30 seconds)

✨1 can chickpeas - drained and rinsed (save the juice)

Add chickpeas and blend…if it’s too thick add a little chickpea juice until smooth! I like to mix around with a spoon while blending to make it super smooth…but be careful not to hit the blades :)

Spoon into a bowl and sprinkle with paprika, chopped parsley, and a drizzle of olive oil. Eat with pita bread or chips, or your favorite veggies!

Save this post to try later and tag us in the finished product!! You can also check out more of her recipes at KimCera.com

For January's cover story, we sat down with Dr. Joseph Daibes, one of the premier cardiologists of our area, who grew up right here in Wayne. His practice is all about helping to build a healthy community – and Wayne is near and dear to his own heart.

"As a cardiologist and a parent, I know how hard it can be to juggle convenience with healthy eating, especially on busy days. My family’s strategy is to make healthy foods readily available at home, like cut-up veggies, fresh fruit, and whole-grain crackers. Preparing meals or snacks in advance—like slicing veggies or making overnight oats—means we can put together a balanced meal in just a few minutes. Also, try to set a good example by making healthy eating a family activity rather than a chore. Kids are more likely to enjoy heart-healthy food when they see their parents eating and enjoying it, too."

Dr. Daibes knows firsthand about healthy eating. His sisters husband owns the Jackies restaurants in our area – Jackie Smalls in Wayne, Jackie’s Grillette in Upper Montclair and Little Falls, and Jackie and Sons in South Orange.

Dr. Joseph Daibes is the owner of NJ Heart and Vein in Clifton, where he maintains a practice that provides not only comprehensive cardiovascular care, but also varicose vein intervention, and so much more.

What would you do if you’d built a successful career, rising to be a Chief People Officer but found that perhaps you were possibly chasing the wrong dream?

For one woman, the choice was simple. After all, Vinni Taneja was subconsciously preparing herself for this her entire life. But society had pushed back her choice.

“Here I was, waking up at 4:30 every morning, going to the gym, coming back home, taking the bus to the city for work, then after a long day there I’d still be checking emails long into the night. The stress was there, and there was no off switch. But the universe was still sending me all these dreams and messages that I was called to do something else.”

Yet she knew that this was a decision that wouldn’t be as easy as it was necessary.

Now, she blends her Eastern spirituality with Western pragmatism as a Certified Reiki Master, 700 Hours Yoga Teacher, Sound Healing Practitioner, Qi Gong Instructor, and Mind-Body Intuitive Coach. When she meets with clients, she seeks to provide therapy to the things that are causing them spiritual distress. Her Caldwell studio is filled with spiritual things she’s gathered from her travels, to Nepal, to Bali, all available to her community to enjoy. She even has some “soul shopping” available there as well.

The way she describes it is that she’s found her Spiritual Guruness™. And she’s particularly proud of the work that she’s done for women to help them empower themselves spiritually.

To find out more about how Vinni can help you on your overall wellness journey, reach out to her at her Chakra Wellness studio in Caldwell via her website, chakrawellness.io

Marcelo Galarza is the owner of The Enchanted Petal, tucked in the back of Styertowne Shopping Center in Clifton. He is from Ecuador, a nation that’s the epicenter of roses. Thanks to its presence in the Andes, and the volcanic soil that’s there, it’s the perfect climate for the world’s most beautiful roses.

But in n his shop, Marcelo transforms them into something more. The Enchanted Petal makes them into ongoing art. The flowers here are the raw materials for something more creative – custom works of naturally preserved floral craftsmanship.

In this small shop (it’s only himself and his assistant, fellow flower artist Angela), they create floral magic. Each rose displayed is hand-crafted in-house, employing every possible color of the rainbow, customized with a unique display box. They offer single rose displays, bouquets, flower-enhanced artwork, and custom designs for individual ideas and occasions.

“After my grandmother’s funeral in Ecuador, they gave us a preserved rose as a condolence. She had been my inspiration – I still call her my first CEO – and that meant so much that it gave me the vision of how to pay tribute to my grandmother and my home. I’d found my way to bring the magic of Ecuador back with me and share that same feeling of connection here.”

A simple flower changed his life.

There’s an opportunity to be had for businesses, schools, and organizations to benefit from what The Enchanted Petal can do. It’s all able to be customized. Companies can jazz up their logo in flowers. Graduations and proms can have floral displays in bespoke school colors. Restaurants can give new ambiance with unique décor.

Honestly, what atmosphere can’t be enhanced by beautiful flowers – especially ones that don’t need to be changed every week?

Kevin Klemens is a realtor with Century 21 Gemini in Wayne. His sense of community has been a lifelong passion. He’s spent most of his life here - DePaul High School, so for those looking to see which side of the Hills/Valley spectrum he’s on, he’s neutral. It’s one Wayne for him.

Yet there’s not just one cause that tugs at his heart. Kids? Check. First responders and community heroes? Check. Seniors? Check. Small businesses? Well, you get the idea.

“There are plenty of organizations in every town that are great for making business connections. But let’s face it - everybody knows a real estate agent. That can’t be your motivation,” Kevin explains.

That’s why being involved with groups like the Boys and Girls Club of Wayne and the Passaic County 200 Club mean so much to him. A grandfather of three, sitting on the board of the Boys and Girls Club was an opportunity he just couldn’t pass up. Membership in the 200 Club, which supports local police, fire, and EMS workers, was a no-brainer. “You just can’t say ‘no’ to that,” he admits.

“Look, finding a home in a community that you love is everyone’s dream. To that end, I tell people to find an agent they’re comfortable with and stick with them. But when I think of the world that I want Landon, Layla, and Noah to grow up in, I know that I must do what I can to ensure it’s a place that they deserve.”

Kevin Klemens can be reached at 973-696-1111.
