Why is sourdough bread so popular?
Organic sourdough bread is nutritious and gut friendly. It has a long fermentation process which acts as a ‘pre-digestion’ and breaks down gluten and anti-nutrients. It is easier to digest and supports a healthy microbiome and a lower glycemic index than conventional bread
When you care deeply about a cause, it’s powerful to find meaningful ways to support it. In Minnesota this winter — where the temperatures have plunged well below freezing — knitters have rallied around a creative form of protest: knitting red wool “Melt the ICE” hats as a symbol of solidarity with those demonstrating against recent federal immigration enforcement actions and the deaths of protesters.
These hats draw on a long tradition of using craft and art as part of activism, turning something as humble as a handmade cap into a statement of community support and compassion. If you knit and would like to help, the patterns are being sold by the Minnesota yarn shop Needle & Skein for $5.00.
Good Housekeeping recently had a small article about 3 top-tested cleaners. They are unusual and worth being shared here.

If your house becomes engulfed in cooking smells, this candle will replace the odors with fragrant notes of herbs, it’s like magic. $78.00.
Therapy Clean is a plant-based formula that erases smudges and anything else on your stainless steel. $19.95.

On February 13th, nearly 250 women gathered for the 9th Annual Broward Galentine’s Day Luncheon, hosted by BLU by ThriveWell and benefiting 4KIDS. Held at the Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach, women from across the region came together for an afternoon of inspiration, philanthropy, and purpose—celebrating love and friendship while extending compassion to vulnerable kids and families throughout South Florida.
For guests newer to the mission, the program offered a meaningful look into the heart behind 4KIDS. For almost 30 years, 4KIDS has been creating seats at the table for children and families in need—offering hope, homes, and healing across 13 Florida counties. Through prevention services, licensed foster and residential homes, and specialized trauma-informed therapy and training, children in crisis find the stability and care they deserve.
Kim Sarni of Lifestyle Media Group/South Florida Business & Wealth served as the event’s distinguished Mistress of Ceremonies, and at the center of the program was a powerful conversation between longtime child welfare leader Rochelle Holmes and adoptive mother Connie Burnett, whose story reflects the full circle impact of foster care.
Connie recounted entering foster care as a young girl after experiencing instability at home. Through multiple placements, she eventually met Janene—a caring staff member who became the steady, faithful presence she desperately needed, and whose support changed the course of her life. Years later, moved by that same compassion, Connie said “yes” to fostering alongside her husband, ultimately adopted their son through 4KIDS. Connie’s journey powerfully reflected the luncheon’s message: one courageous “yes” can transform generations.
This year’s event was made possible through generous partners, including BLU by ThriveWell, Moss Foundation, Lou Bachrodt Automotive Group, Neptune Society, Shaping Memories, Lifestyle Media Group/South Florida Business & Wealth, and several others. Their investment helped make the afternoon’s impact possible.
Thanks to the combined generosity of attendees and sponsors, Broward Galentine’s raised more than $120,000, making it the most successful year to date. These funds will support the licensing of new foster families, expand trauma-informed therapeutic services, and strengthen 4KIDS’ robust continuum of care for children, teens, and families across the community.
From heartfelt storytelling to transformative giving, this year’s Broward Galentine’s was a powerful reminder that when women gather with purpose, lives change—and how the impact of one faithful ‘yes’ reaches far beyond the room, creating immeasurably more seats at the table for kids in need.

I love Easter – especially Easter Sunday. We always go to church and usually have a few Easter egg hunts with the boys in the weeks leading up to Easter Sunday. While your outfit certainly isn’t the main event on Easter, I think it’s special to get a new dress each year. I remember it was always a big deal picking out my Easter dress as a little girl, and I still look forward to it, even at age 41! So, I’ve sourced some beautiful options below that will work for Easter and beyond in the spring and summer months. And if you’re heading to an Easter church service for the first time in a long time (or ever), I’ve got you covered in terms of what to wear, what to avoid, and a few of my favorite picks.
What to wear on Easter Sunday (and for Easter Egg Hunts & Easter Brunch)
What do people wear at Easter?
In general, people tend to dress up for Easter and embrace spring style, even if it’s still a little chilly out. You’ll see a lot of floral dresses, pastel tones, or white outfits. Dresses with ruffles, lace, or soft pleats are popular choices. And layering lightweight jackets like a tweed jacket or a tailored blazer can be helpful if the weather is a bit chilly. If you prefer separates, a blouse paired with a flowy skirt or white jeans can make for a chic and effortless Easter outfit.
What Not to Wear on Easter Sunday
While we’ll be talking about what to wear this Easter, there are, however, a few things to avoid. Dark, heavy fabrics can feel out of place, and overly revealing outfits aren’t appropriate for more formal gatherings or church services. And they also don’t lend themselves very naturally to spring weather anyway. Also, while sneakers can be a comfortable option for egg hunts or casual brunches, avoid overly worn or athletic sneakers. It’s always better to be overdressed than underdressed when it comes to Easter.
How Should I Dress for Easter?
Your Easter outfit should reflect your style while keeping reverence, comfort, and occasion in mind. If you’re attending a formal church service, opt for a knee-length or midi dress with classic detailing like lace or ruffles. A flowy maxi dress or a chic skirt with a tucked-in blouse will work perfectly for a casual Easter brunch or an outdoor gathering.
What Color Should I Wear on Easter Sunday?
When deciding what to wear Easter Sunday, pastel shades such as soft pink, lavender, mint green, and baby blue are traditional Easter colors. White and cream tones also work beautifully, especially with delicate lace details. Floral prints in soft hues are a timeless Easter favorite. If you prefer bolder colors, opt for cheerful tones like coral or yellow.
Can you wear white on Easter?
Yes, absolutely. Easter is actually one of the best times to wear white. It feels fresh, celebratory (as it should be), and in line with the bright colors of spring. Whether it’s a white dress, a white blouse, or even white accessories, it’s a classic choice for Easter Sunday.
Easter brunch is the perfect occasion to wear something stylish yet comfortable. A flowy midi dress with ruffle detailing (maybe the Smocked Seaton Midi from Tuckernuck I linked above) or a wrap-style dress in a cheerful print is always a great choice. Layering with a lightweight cardigan (here’s how to style cardigans) or a cropped blazer adds a touch of sophistication. If you prefer separates, a chic blouse tucked into a skirt or high-waisted white pants creates an effortlessly elegant look. Pair with espadrilles or block heels like these for a brunch-ready outfit.
While I’ve shared a few of my favorite dresses in the paragraphs above, I wanted to include a few more for those who are shopping. Here are some general ideas if you want to look in your closet, and I’ll include my personal favorites below. If you’re going to be outside a good portion of the day, don’t be afraid of pairing sneakers with a dress. Don’t forget a sunhat, non-toxic sunscreen, or sunglasses if you’ll be outdoors. My favorite affordable sunglasses are this tortoise pair from Amazon.
Tuckernuck Chloe Dress
I have this Chloe Dress in a perfect lavender color, and it’s the ideal Easter dress. I feel like Jackie O whenever I put it on and get so many compliments. It has a polished silhouette, the perfect thick material, and a great midi length (I wear a small for sizing reference). If you want the same look for less, this Amazon Tuckernuck look for less is perfect.
This Floral A-Line Maxi is currently at the top of my list for Easter dresses. The length is my favorite (maxi), and the color combo of blue, green, pink, and yellow is so pleasant together, especially as we get further into spring.

Pale Pink Jacquard Janie Mini Dress
Everything about the Pink Jacquard Janie Mini is perfect for Easter. I love the puff sleeves, vibrant florals, mini length, and the classic neckline. You could opt for kitten heels or sandals to pair with this dress.

Hyacinth House Blue and White Midi Hillsborough Dress
I own this Lyles dress in red (I got it for fall family photos), and the fit is perfect for everything. The material isn’t super thick, but it’s also not thin. Maxi dresses can swallow my petite frame, but this fits perfectly. I went with an XS since I knew the fit was relaxed. I recommend sizing down if you’re on the fence. Since the belt is removable, it works for maternity as well.

Tweed Jackie Dress
I love this Tweed Jackie Dress for Easter. It’s polished, and it comes in a ton of colors. I love the braided trim and button details! It’d be perfect with kitten heels or ballet flats.

Hill House Home Ellie Nap Dress
There’s no dress on earth that fits as perfectly in every life stage as Hill House. I got my first Hill House dress when I was postpartum with Charles, and it was one of the first things I put on that made me feel like myself. The smocking is secure and flattering, the midi length is easy to wear around kids, and it comes in ton of colors, and I’ve got my eye on the powder blue Lace Nap Dress this year. Hill House runs true to size. Quince also makes a look for less that’s really good. Read my Hill House dress review here.

Tuckernuck Crochet Belclaire Dress
The Light Blue Crochet Belclaire Dress from Tuckernuck is another sweet and feminine mini. I can’t stand how cute the floral crochet is, and the green colorway is just as lovely. I appreciate that this dress can transition really well from brunch to an Easter Egg hunt since it’s comfortable and long enough!

Casual Easter Outfits
Not a fan of dresses? No problem! There are plenty of casual Easter outfit ideas that are just as stylish:
White Jeans + Pastel Blouse – A classic, polished look that’s perfect for brunch or an egg hunt.
Skirt + Lightweight Sweater – A flowy midi skirt paired with a soft knit sweater is effortlessly chic.
Jumpsuit + Denim Jacket – A stylish alternative to dresses, especially in a floral or pastel print.
Casual Dress + Sneakers – Keep it relaxed with a breezy dress and comfy sneakers for a laid-back Easter vibe.
Similar to the romper, but two separate pieces. Try the Cowrie Block Print Top here and the matching Ashford Pants here. You could definitely wear this to church, but it would also be cute for egg hunts and brunch. I’d stick to a pair of ballet flats if you’re going to be on your feet a good amount of the day.
I mentioned these earlier in the post, but Levi’s Ribcage Straight Jeans are some of the most flattering white jeans I’ve found (and I tried 15 pairs). They also happen to be the most affordable denim I found in my search for the best pair. They fit true-to-size.

Lilac Floral Rosenberg Blouse
This Lilac Floral Rosenberg Blouse introduces a lovely purple colorway to the mix. If you’re not planning to wear a dress for Easter, you might want to consider investing in a special top that you can wear for years to come. This top is still under $100!

On any given weekend, Anna de Ferran might be spinning inside a Formula One paddock in Miami, soundtracking a luxury hotel takeover in London, or leading a branded activation for one of the world’s most recognizable companies.
“I feel like I live mostly on an airplane,” she says, “but Fort Lauderdale is my home base.”
The daughter of two-time Indy Car champion and 2003 Indianapolis 500 winner Gil de Ferran, Anna’s family moved from London to South Florida when she was two. Her father’s career on international racing circuits made constant travel a fact of life long before her own work began taking her around the world.
After returning to England for school in her teens, she came back stateside to attend the University of Miami. Today, she credits the region’s international reach and access to two major airports as more than convenience. It is infrastructure.
“I’m literally equidistant between London and São Paulo,” she says with a laugh. “There aren’t many places you can say that.”
Before she became a founder, Anna made her name in electronic music under the moniker ADF, landing major club bookings and international broadcasts. She understands the adrenaline of a packed dance floor, the rhythm of a set building toward its drop. But her most consequential move did not happen in a booth. It happened on a whiteboard.
“I’ll always be a performer at heart,” she says. “But I realized at one point that my impact could be bigger than just me on stage.”
That realization became L’Amigas Collective, an all-female DJ agency now active across Miami, London, New York, Brazil, and the Middle East. What began as a community for women navigating the male-dominated world of electronic music has evolved into a global platform representing nearly 40 DJs.
Anna describes L’Amigas as sitting “at the intersection of corporate and creative.”
It is a deliberate position. While many agencies chase headline nightclub bookings, L’Amigas built its reputation inside brand partnerships and large-scale activations. The network translates artistic energy into language executives understand, and interprets business objectives back to artists with equal fluency.
“Together we can do more,” she says. “Unfortunately, society has created this scarcity mindset, especially for women. But I truly believe collaboration creates more opportunity.”
The timing proved prescient. As Gen Z drinking habits shift and traditional nightlife economics fluctuate, more artists are pivoting toward brand partnerships and experiential work. L’Amigas was already there.
“I transitioned into brand work pretty early in my career,” Anna says. “Nightlife wasn’t good for my health, and I saw an opportunity. Now we haven’t really felt the downturn others are talking about. If anything, we’ve seen an upturn.”
That upturn is visible in the client list. Formula One is among the collective’s largest partners, a relationship that grew organically as Anna’s own presence within the F1 circuit expanded. At last year’s Miami Grand Prix, L’Amigas placed 10 female DJs across race weekend for brands including Heineken, Mercedes, F1 Academy and Gordon Ramsay.
Beyond the track, the collective has worked with hospitality giants such as W Hotels and Hilton, financial institutions including UBS, and lifestyle platforms like Bumble. It is a roster that reads less like a nightlife résumé and more like a corporate power map.
“It’s actually crazy when I list some of these names,” she says. “I don’t think I could have manifested a better client list.”
Behind the scenes, the operation runs lean. Megan Fernandez, based in London and one of the roster’s standout DJs, focuses on talent. Taylor Futch, in Miami, oversees marketing and public relations while maintaining her own performance schedule. The structure allows for flexibility without sacrificing cohesion.
In South Florida, the roster includes Giovanna Elia, daughter of restaurateur Angelo Elia of Casa D’Angelo, underscoring the collective’s growing local visibility. Across the Atlantic, L’Amigas has built a strong London presence, with DJs regularly booked for fashion week events, private members’ clubs, and luxury brand launches. The transatlantic footprint now rivals Miami in both prestige and volume.
For corporate partners, that cohesion translates into reliability. L’Amigas does not operate on exclusivity; instead, it functions as a brokerage model, pairing artists with brands based on tone, audience, and objective. In a rapidly shifting events landscape, adaptability is currency.
“We focus less on growing the number of DJs and more on growing the client base,” Anna says. “Our talent comes organically because our reputation does.”
When she is home, Anna splits her time between select performances and scaling the collective’s global footprint. Expansion into emerging markets is on the horizon, along with deeper brand integration and sustained growth. The ambition is clear, but so is the intention.
“Florida is a great place to grow from,” she says. “There’s so much convergence here, and it’s easy to connect globally.”
For a DJ who once measured success in packed clubs and international broadcasts, the metrics have changed. Today, it is about opportunity created, doors opened, and women amplified. The stage is still there. The music still matters. But the mission is bigger than a set list.
The beat, it turns out, has only been the beginning.
In a city that rarely whispers, YASU Omakase makes its point quietly. Conceived as the most personal expression yet from Michelin-recognized Yasu Tanaka, the eight-seat counter pares dining back to its essence: chef, guest, and the deliberate passage of time.
Anchored by a 600-year-old hinoki counter—wood traditionally reserved for Japanese temples—the experience feels closer to ceremony than spectacle. Guests begin with a sequence of otsumami before moving through a meticulously paced progression of nigiri, miso soup, a signature hand roll, and seasonal dessert. Fish arrives primarily from Tokyo’s Toyosu Market, balanced with pristine Florida catches, while Niigata rice and house-seasoned soy sauces are adjusted daily for temperature, texture, and salinity.
The project comes to life in collaboration with Spicy Hospitality Group, whose partner Andre Sakhai shares Tanaka’s reverence for craft-driven design. The room blends Japanese tradition with Nordic restraint, from hand-cut kumiko woodwork to sculptural PP Møbler seating, each element chosen to disappear into the experience rather than compete with it.
With creative partner Raymond Li, Tanaka introduces subtle South Florida inflections without diluting the formality of omakase. The result is not a replica of Japan, nor a Miami remix, but something rarer: a space where precision, patience, and presence lead the conversation.yasu-miami.com
