Ask the Experts: Founder of the Ward Institute Dr. P. Daniel Ward

By From Our Partners

When it comes to aesthetics and plastic surgery expertise, P. Daniel Ward, MD is among the best of the best. Not only is Dr. Ward the founder of Utah’s leading plastic surgery clinic, the Ward Institute, but he’s also one of the most trusted voices in the entire industry. He regularly lectures around the world, to places from Bozeman, Montana to Moscow, Russia. Still, he’s made Utah his home and the Ward Institute the local leader in aesthetics and plastic surgery.

But to hear Dr. Ward explain the philosophy behind the plastic surgery center, you might be surprised.

“We are plastic surgeons and aesthetic professionals, but we really could not care less about how someone looks,” he says.

“The reason for the counterintuitive approach is simple,” he continues. “When a person is looking to have a plastic surgery procedure done, they’re not hoping to look better. More importantly, Dr. Ward says, they’re looking to feel better.”

“We care about how our patients feel on the inside,” Dr. Ward says. “But it’s interesting how much we feel on the inside is influenced by how we see ourselves on the outside.”

For example, a person with a bump on their nose or a bit of sagging in their face might be a bit insecure about themselves. With the gentle touch and top-notch skill found in the surgical staff at the Ward Institute, which includes Dr. Ward, a solution can be found that is both aesthetically pleasing as well as safe and comfortable post-op.

That, Dr. Ward says, is why patients regularly choose the Ward Institute, even with many other less expensive plastic surgery options in the area.

“For us, the most important things are safety and quality. We pride ourselves in providing the best possible experience for our patients,” says Dr. Ward.

While Dr. Ward excels in rhinoplasty and has pioneered a minimally-invasive facelift and chin tuck procedure, which allows him to see patients from around the globe, the other doctors are also excellent within their specialties, which runs the entire gamut of plastic surgery services.

The roster of surgeons includes facial plastic surgeons, Dr. Bethany Powers, who excels in rhinoplasty, facelift, eyelid rejuvenation, and transgender care and Dr. Caitlin Iorio, who specializes in lips, noses, and eyelids. Dr. Rouzbeh Kordestani is a plastic surgeon who performs breast augmentation, reduction, and lifts; tummy tucks; mommy makeovers; liposuction; and has a special interest in treating loose skin after weight loss. Finally, the team benefits from the highly trained and experienced dermatologist Dr. David Smart, who performs laser treatments, liposuction, injectable treatments, and skin cancer removal.

But the most important people at the Ward Institute, as Dr. Ward would say, are the clients. Not only do Dr. Ward and his staff lend their expertise to whatever need comes into the clinic, but they also provide their patient with a life coach as part of their journey. At the end of the day, the Ward Institute isn’t just altering a person’s physical appearance, it’s about much more.

“Our mission is to provide genuine care and service,” Dr. Ward says. “Not just to change how someone looks, but to use this opportunity to give clients the self-confidence and assurance they need to accomplish all the goals in their lives.”

Ask the Experts: The Catering Savants of Culinary Crafts Ryan & Kaleb Crafts

By From Our Partners

When it comes to putting together some of the best catering in Utah, it’s a family business for the Crafts. Owners and operators of Culinary Crafts, the sibling trio of Ryan, Meagan, and Kaleb Crafts all joke that they’ve been “elbow-deep” in their family-run hosting service since they were old enough to scrub a tub of pots and pans.

But even after 39 years of helping their parents and then running the family business themselves, the passion remains.

“Hosting never gets old,” Ryan says. “At every event, something will surprise you, guaranteed! But it’s great because every event is also a chance to make your guests feel something special, the pleasure of being taken care of.”

That service-based mentality hasn’t gone ignored among Utah’s emerging world-class hospitality scene. Over the years, Culinary Crafts has racked up a staggering 27 Utah Best of State awards, as well as nine “Caties,” which are basically the Oscars of the catering industry.

But what gives Culinary Crafts its wide acclaim is the individual-first approach it takes to each and every hosting opportunity. And suffice it to say, over nearly four decades of catering events all over Utah and abroad, the Crafts know the dos and don’ts of a great time. 

But what makes the difference at a hosted event? The Crafts explain:

Be Fully Present

If you ask Kaleb, he’ll tell you, the best way to be a great host is to be in the moment, with the guests. Let the help you’ve hired, like say, the award-winning caterers from Culinary Crafts, do the running around. You, as the host, should be fully present.

“Don’t try to be a martyr and do everything yourself,” Kaleb says. “Let someone else take the photos and handle the music. Delegate. Call a caterer. Ask for help.”

That way, when the time comes, you can grab a drink, surround yourself with the people you care about and have a great time.

Make a Great Menu

Ryan calls food a “social catalyst.” He’s right. Nothing can make or break an event like the food on hand. When he’s hosting for others, Ryan is conscious of providing bites to eat inviting a welcoming, relaxing environment with plenty of chit-chat.

That might mean trying something new every once in a while.

“I try to provide a mix and the familiar and the new,” Ryan says. “Some of the dishes should be standbys that guests are sure to love, but I also include one or two elements that might be unfamiliar. Throwing in something exciting and a little exotic is a great way to get guests excited and stimulate conversation.”

Ask the Experts: Co-Owner of Anthony’s Fine Art & Antiques Micah Christensen

By From Our Partners

You might call Micah Christensen, one of the owners of Anthony’s Fine Arts and Antiques, a Renaissance man. He could probably tell you all about the art from that era as well.

Along with his father, Anthony, and his brother-in-law Brett Levitre, the three men own and operate what they feel is Salt Lake City’s finest collection of valuable art and antique furniture. With that, Christensen says, comes the need to be an expert in art buying and curating.

After founding a nonprofit in Washington D.C., Christensen moved back to Utah to help run the family business. Upon his return, he was encouraged to continue his education in the industry, leading him to eventually receive his Doctorate in Art History from the University of London.

Now, Christensen, in addition to his duties at the family shop, is one of the area’s foremost experts in art and art history.

He says Utah is one of the richest, but most underappreciated places in the nation for artists.

“If you go to the Census Bureau’s latest take on Utah and the arts, we have more professional artists per capita than anywhere else in the United States, but we have the fewest museums and the fewest galleries,” Christensen says.

But what Anthony’s lacks in competition, it more than makes up for in selection and quality. Christensen says that over the years, the store has carried works from the likes of John Singer Sargent, Norman Rockwell, and even Pablo Picasso.

Anthony’s, Christensen explains, really sees itself as more than just a building where folks can buy and sell art. It really is more of a gallery and facilitator for the arts, and the owners consider themselves stewards of the craft.

“It’s our job to collect things that are important locally, nationally, and historically,” Christensen says. “We restore, we have a huge warehouse, and we consult with museums all over the world.”

Christensen half-jokingly refers to an old industry saying he learned from a prestigious colleague, that art collecting is in the business of the three Ds: Debt, Divorce, and Death. It’s usually in the circumstances of one or more of those three Ds that a person sells their collection to a gallery. From there, folks like Christensen can work to sell or move a piece to its next owner.

For him, the biggest thrill the owners get at Anthony’s is when they see something come through the door multiple times.

“Sometimes we see the same piece in here three or four times. Somebody bought it from us and they’ll sell it back and we’ll sell it again to somebody else,” Christensen. “If we’re good at what we do, you’ll get these long genealogies of collectors that we hope to develop over time.”

It’s great repeat business.

By Kids, For Kids: Aqua Terra’s New Milkshake Bar Gives Back To Childhood Education

By From Our Partners

If milkshakes at a surf ‘n turf restaurant sound like an idea that a child would have come up with, you’re right. Turns out, the milkshakes at Aqua Terra Steak + Sushi do a lot of good for the kids too. 

This month, the restaurant, located right by the westside Main Street entrance at City Creek Center Mall, launched its latest menu offering, Mak-n-Jax’s Milkshake Bar. Featuring a base of vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry sorbet—or all three mixed together—guests are welcome to create a Mixed Milkshake with toppings like chocolate chips, Oreo cookies, toasted macadamia crunch, or coconut flakes. And of course, the pièce de résistance—a dollop of whipped cream, tops it all off.

It was something that Elaina Morris’s children, Makena and Jaxon, had been begging their mother to put on the menu. 

“All kids love dessert and my kids have always wanted to put their touch on something at one of our restaurants,” Morris, who serves as the president and CEO of Ascend Hospitality Group, Aqua Terra’s parent company, said. “So when this opportunity came around, they were all in on milkshakes. They even made a presentation to sell me and my partners on it.” 

Ascend Hospitality Group CEO Elaina Morris with her kids Jaxon and Makena.

But even sweeter than the shakes is the purpose behind them. For every shake sold at Aqua Terra, the restaurant will be donating $1 to a nonprofit partner. And since the menu item was inspired by and named for two children, it was only natural to tie the shakes to a cause that resonates with kids. 

As such, the Salt Lake Education Foundation will be the first beneficiary of the proceeds raised by Mak-n-Jax’s Milkshake Bar. 

“When we land in a new market and city, we land a philosophy—we’re not just a restaurant; we are grounded in service to the communities in which we operate,” Morris said. “Our lane is education, and that’s important to us as a company.”

The beneficiary of the milkshakes with heart, the Salt Lake Education Foundation, supports every student in the Salt Lake CIty School District, helping ensure they achieve their goals in and out of the classroom. The foundation depends on community support to help their students.

“We appreciate the partnership with businesses, like Aqua Terra Steak + Sushi, who bring positive change for our students and strengthen our community,” said Salt Lake Education Director James Yapias in an announcement when the Mak-n-Jax Milkshake Bar was launched. 

Education, Morris believes, can be just as important to a community’s well-being as food, shelter, and water. And since they’re in the business of providing a good meal and a good place to get one, it only makes sense for Aqua Terra to have a component that serves educational needs as well.

So next time you finish a delicious lunch or dinner at Aqua Terra, why not complete your meal with a milkshake for dessert? And knowing that you’ll be supporting children’s education, it’ll be that much sweeter.

Trip or Treat? Why not both!

A guide to visiting Utah’s most haunted spots, paired with Maverik holiday treats to complete the Halloween vibe

Looking for an out-of-the-box way to celebrate spooky season this year? Make a trip to Utah’s most haunted locations to really bring ghost stories to life. We’ve rounded up some of the spookiest spots in the state – and the best Halloween candy pairings from Maverik to enjoy on your way. 

If you’re headed out first thing, be sure to stop at Maverik for a cup of fresh, bean-to-cup coffee, a BonFire breakfast bowl, or pumpkin muffin to get your energy up. And since it is Halloween, you better grab some candy to get in the spooky spirit. Be sure to join Maverik’s Adventure Club to save on fuel and earn freebies while you hunt for ghosts.

Blind Frog Ranch – Vernal

Two Maverik locations in Vernal, Utah

Blind Frog Ranch is supposedly resting on buried Aztec treasure – and locals say there is a dark force protecting the gold. The owners’ quest for riches have been covered on the TV show Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch. You can take a tour of the filming locations and maybe see some paranormal activity for yourself. We think some green candy will go well with the ranch’s frogs, so grab some Snickers Ghoulish Green or Skittles Shriekers at Maverik on your way there.

Latuda – Spring Canyon

Nearest Maverik locations– Helper (6 miles east)

Latuda, Utah is a true ghost town – abandoned by the living but still supposedly inhabited. The White Lady of Latuda haunts this former coal mining town in Spring Canyon. Some say the White Lady was a destitute and grieving mother; others call her a revenge-seeking wife. Maybe you’ll see her – and if not, you can still see the creepy remains of Latuda’s abandoned buildings. For this classic ghost story, you better get some classic Halloween candy at Maverik. Try M&Ms or Kinder Bueno for this spooky stop.

Rio Grande Depot – Salt Lake City

3 Maverik locations within one mile

The Rio Grande Depot in Salt Lake City once saw busy railroad traffic– and now sees paranormal activity. Many visitors have claimed to see the Purple Lady, a scorned woman who jumped in front of a train after her engagement ring was thrown on the track. Mysterious lights turning on, water taps that won’t turn off, and spectral sightings of the Purple Lady have all been reported at the Depot. Balance out the sad story with something extra sweet like Reese’s pumpkins or Nerd’s Spooky Ropes.

Rock Canyon – Provo

6 Maverik locations within six miles

Considered the most haunted hike in Utah, the Rock Canyon Trail is home to a range of paranormal activity. People have reported hearing sobs from the murdered Native American namesake of Squaw Peak, seeing a ghost dressed in 70s clothing, and the spirit of a young girl playing by the creek. Reports increase as the weather worsens, so if you’re feeling brave, grab a cup of Maverik Hot Cocoa to stay warm and head to Rock Canyon in some cloudy weather.

Adventure’s First Stop

Tricks and treats go together like Maverik and adventure. Grab your favorite Halloween candy and seasonal treats and head out in search of ghosts. With over 180 Maverik locations across Utah, you’ll be fueled for ghost hunting for a long time.

Women in Business: Lo Sheffield, Megan Bonham, Melanie Rossiter | Twenty & Creek

By From Our Partners

Twenty & Creek’s Director of Marketing, Lo Sheffield, likes to think of her workplace as one of the most gorgeous spaces in Utah if not one of the most picturesque event venues west of the Mississippi.

Looking around the enormous multi-use space located in the heart of Sandy, you’d be hard-pressed to disagree. Twenty & Creek is a Pinterest lover’s dream come true.

According to Sheffield, Twenty & Creek’s timeless, luxurious, and iconic look and feel can all be attributed to its owner, Megan Bonham, of whom she has worked closely with for the past year since they opened in July 2022. 

“It was all done under Megan’s vision,” Sheffield says. “It’s just beautiful and amazing to see what she’s done with the place.”

Formerly known as Heritage Gardens, Twenty & Creek underwent a massive remodeling and rebranding as a new business when Bonham purchased the property with one goal in mind: to have this venue stand the test of time, making it as relevant today as it will be 20 years from now.

“And she did just that, it’s really the hallmark venue for the state of Utah,” Sheffield says.

Those who know the venue best would say Bonham’s charm, wits, and loving nature is what keep the magic alive.

“After spending so many years raising my children, I felt a bit of fear and self-doubt when I went back into the working world. It turned out that all the skills I had learned as a stay-at-mom were exactly what I needed to build Twenty & Creek. Multitasking, people management, conflict resolution, time management, and so many more daily lessons I learned as a mom became the foundation for the way I lead my business.”

—Megan Bonham, Owner,
   Twenty & Creek

But Bonham’s best quality, her colleagues agree, is her humility. So humble is the owner of Utah’s most desirable wedding and event venue, Salt Lake magazine was assured she would have no interest or comfort in speaking about herself.

“What really makes her so special as a leader is her innate humility and kindness. Megan is as kind and generous as they come and is one the reasons she has built such a thriving business,” Sheffield says. “Above her endearing traits, Megan has a quick and strategic mind that makes her a phenomenal leader and entrepreneur. To know Megan is to love her, and I think everything in the space embodies that, and is what makes Twenty & Creek so special.”

Women in Business: Mixhers

By From Our Partners

Obviously, you can’t spell Mixhers without the word “her.” 

Women are at the core of the Utah-based female supplement company. Just ask any of the 32 women who make up the entire staff at Mixhers.

“It must be all the power pink,” laughs Jess Toolson, the company’s founder, alluding to Mixher’s color scheme. “We just don’t get many male applicants for our openings.”

With offerings tailored specially to female needs—Mixhers’ most well-known product is called ‘Hertime’ and is a hormone-balancing drink mix intended to alleviate PMS symptoms—the company is very much by women, for women.

But it’s not just the female customers who are at the center of life at Mixhers, Toolson has also made it a priority to build up the women who help her
business thrive.

Each week, on Thursday morning, Mixhers hosts Women in the Mix, an educational lecture and networking event which is open to anyone in the public who would like to attend. During Women in the Mix, a handful of Mixhers team members are given the time to present themselves, share what they do in their daily roles, and answer questions about life and work as professionals. Mixhers hopes to become a brand that can support and inspire many other female entrepreneurs to chase their dreams. 

For the extremely young team—Toolson notes that the average age of her staff is around 25—it’s a great opportunity to personally grow as well as build the next generation of future female entrepreneurs and business leaders.

“We have a team full of women that are driven to push themselves. Everyone is a self-starter and wants to become an expert in their specific role. I feel that I could put the Mixhers team toe-to-toe against any other brand. We truly have the most eager, talented and impressive team.”

—Jess Toolson, Founder of Mixhers

Things like Women in the Mix, as well as the office’s space and welcoming atmosphere, make Mixhers what it is, a thriving female-driven business that has rapidly grown since Toolson first set up shop in 2019.

It’s a great place to work, employees say, and the shared vision as well as the camaraderie among the team, are the biggest reasons why they’re able to put forth their best efforts.

“I’ve literally never woken up and not been excited to go to work,” says Bethany Bulloch, Mixher’s Social Media and PR Manager. “We’ve built our brand around the shared experience of being a woman and having certain challenges, but being given the tools to feel empowered and able to overcome them.”

There’s a lot to be proud of at Mixhers, but what Toolson calls her greatest source of fulfillment is the friendship that’s easily found among her employees.

“I know I could call any individual team member in a moment of need, and anyone would show up, but that’s not just for me, they would show up for one another,” she says. 

“Mixhers is a safe haven. We’ve created a safe space for us to not only put our heads down together at work but also to really enjoy our time with one another.”

Women in Business: Tami Ostmark | Hamlet Homes

By From Our Partners

Tami Ostmark had broken through the glass ceiling. After grinding her way from job to job, first as a real estate marketer, then as the GM/Marketing Director at Jordan Landing Shopping Center, then as Vice President of Marketing for KSL Broadcast Group, she arrived to oversee Global Business and Marketing for Overstock.com. 

Ostmark had reached a position few ever achieve in their careers. But surprisingly, she has become most content in her life after leaving her lucrative and prominent position with the online shopping giant.

“Lots of traveling and time away from my family, and a bit of instability at work, made me realize that being present in my kids’ lives was most important to me,” Ostmark says. “Money can’t buy you time, especially when time raising children goes by so quickly.”

“I am grateful for the history of this amazing company and everyone who got us to this point, and now we are an even better company with people who love their job, consider their co-workers their family, and exude this happiness to our customers.”

—Tami Ostmark

That’s where Hamlet Homes came into her life. That was six and a half years ago. Now, Ostmark not only serves as the homebuilder’s VP of Marketing, but she’s also a co-owner and partner in the business. She also likes to add “Problem Solver” to her list of titles.

The first problem she wanted to help solve after making a huge career shift and taking the job at Hamlet: creating a more modern workplace.

“We were dealing with a change in ownership and leadership and the old vs. the new could not have been any more different,” Ostmark remembers.

Like Mary Poppins, she says, she made an effort to inject a bit of fun and levity into the work environment. And with Ostmark’s new approach—and a spoonful of sugar, perhaps—the culture shifted, dramatically.

“I have such respect for Tami,” says Hamlet Homes’ VP of Construction John Peterson. “She changed our culture when she came into the company. We now stand for inclusion and hard work and share a strong common vision. She’s the glue that brought our culture together.”

That culture change has created a much happier and healthier workplace at Hamlet Homes. And the results outside the office speak for themselves. Hamlet was named the state’s best in Real Estate Development three years straight from 2019-2021 while also being honored as one of the best places to work and best customer experience providers from 2020 to 2022.

It took a leap of faith for Ostmark to make such a career change to Hamlet Homes. 

But just like Mary Poppins and her signature umbrella, she found a way to soar with grace.

“Hamlet Homes ended up being exactly what I needed in my life, not only during that chapter, but for future chapters, and is now quickly becoming one of the best parts in the story of my life.”

McCord

Women in Business: Marsha Holfeltz | Madison McCord Interiors

By From Our Partners

At Madison McCord, a contemporary interior design store in Millcreek, customers notice that two things change all the time.

For one, the selection of furniture, accent pieces, and even throw pillows changes all the time. Owner Marsha Holfeltz prides herself on her store’s ability to sell products directly off the showroom floor.

“People don’t have to wait for goods, they can just come in and find something they love, and it’s delivered the next day,” Holfeltz says, adding that the massive 22,000-square-foot showroom will probably look different and have something new every time a customer comes in.

The hot item right now in the ‘Pillow Talk’ section of the store—which has a wide selection of accent pillows—are Picasso pillows imported from the iconic artist’s museum in Spain. Holfeltz expects these collector pieces to fly off the shelves.

“Surround yourself with a trusted and loyal team and vendor base. It will make all the difference to your customers with their shopping experience. They’ll come back again and again!”

—Marsha Holfeltz

But impressionist pillows are not the only things that come and go at Madison McCord. Customers are frequently welcomed by a rotating cast of foster dogs, brought in by Holfeltz. Her love for canines, particularly dogs who have been abused or are severely disabled or deformed, has found its way into her work.

And customers adore it.

“They always come in and want to meet whoever the new dogs are,” Holfeltz says of her returning clientele. “They say ‘Who do we have here?’ ‘What’s going on with them? Can I give them some love?’”

But while the furniture and the furry friends may change from time to time at Madison McCord, many things do not, such as the way Holfeltz conducts her business. She prides herself on her consistency, knowledge, and connections in the upholstery industry. Customers, many of whom order custom pieces for their homes, know they’re getting exactly what they want and in a very fast 3-week production time turnaround, thanks to the store’s owner.

“If you don’t see it on the floor, I’ll find it for you,” says Holfeltz.

Of course, they’ll also always find a dog in need, eager for some love and attention.

Women in Business: Nicki Luck | Soulstice Day Spa & Salon

By From Our Partners

After a 20-year-long career as an accountant, Nicki Luck came to appreciate the value of taking time to relax and unwind after a long day. Now, in her second career as the owner of Soulstice Day Spa & Salon, Luck’s mission is to help her customers leave Soulstice feeling renewed and refreshed.

“I genuinely want to bring an oasis of beauty, relaxation, and wellness to our community,” Luck says.

While the pivot from CPA to salon owner may have been dramatic, Luck says it was definitely worth the leap of faith. Having a strong understanding of business finances and best practices has given her a big leg up in her career transition. Luck was also able to put together a team that helped her to learn the many facets of spa ownership.   It also didn’t hurt that she was also highly passionate about her own well-being, believing that connecting her mind, body, and soul—with help from a lot of yoga and meditation—could help her find the perfect balance in her busy life. 

“Health and beauty truly go hand-in-hand. When you feel good, you look good, and vice-versa. We strive for individual results with every client and from microneedling to cupping therapy, there is a service for every taste!”

—Nicki Luck

Now, nine years later Soulstice Day Spa & Salon, the business is thriving. With a team of over two dozen employees, including hair stylists, master estheticians, and massage therapists, Soulstice has all the services a busy person could need to rejuvenate themselves and take on the day.

“Health and radiance are important values to me,” Luck says. “We need to take care of ourselves so we can give back to others and reflect our best selves. This can be even more important the busier we are.”

Soulstice sees plenty of foot traffic thanks to an idyllic setting at the picturesque Gardner Village. But more than just being a cute spa in an Instagram-worthy gathering spot, Soulstice has become a place where customers feel known and cared for.

“I am continually moved by the genuine connection between our staff and our guests,” Luck says. “It feels like family. I hope that when you visit us, you leave feeling like family as well.”

And if you’re a busy professional, juggling all the stresses of work, family, and other daily responsibilities, Soulstice is a great place to unwind. Luck, the CPA-turned-spa owner, can completely relate.
