K. Rocke Design started with the desire to elevate interiors by pairing the finest finishes with true free- dom in design. K. Rocke is not subject to a particular furniture company, architecture firm or individual builder, which opens up new and exciting possibilities. Their team provides a wide and diverse background, always growing and learning by taking on new challenges, never looking backward. Kristin says, “As leaders, we are the ‘get it done’ type of people, and our hard work is coupled with talent and taste. In an industry packed full of creative people, it’s part of what makes us truly stand out.”

With an impeccable portfolio and over 17 years as an NCIDQ Interior Designer, Kristin Rocke has noticed that this year the trend is noticeably more toward multiple residences. “Our clients trust us to push the envelope and take them somewhere unexpected, knowing that each project ultimately represents their individuality,” she says, “Our women-led team is continually paying attention to what’s going on around us to discover the ideal design for our clients.” Kristin says, “The most rewarding part of excellent design is in its final presentation when all components come magically together, bringing out both the best in the home and those living there.”

Mara Mazdzer’s Fuse Weddings & Events is still hard at work finding ways to help their clients find meaningful ways to celebrate their most important events safely.

“Due to the pandemic we’ve shifted from events with big guest lists and really refined our approach to celebrations in an intimate application,” Mara says. “We’ve gotten really creative in our planning to ensure these intimate celebrations are full of just as much love, joy and merriment as a traditional wedding would be pre-COVID.”

For example, the high-profile wedding of a Fuse client who coaches in the NBA had to be re-planned in just 17 days after the groom learned he’d be going to Florida for the duration of the basketball season.

“The original wedding date in August was no longer possible,” Mara says. “So the bride brought us on board to make it happen.”

Mara founded Fuse Weddings & Events 11 years ago. The boutique event planning and design studio based in Salt Lake City specializes in destination-Utah weddings in Park City as well as social and special events across the state. She prides herself on creating specialized experiences for her clients and their guests.

“We spend a lot of time getting to know our clients on a personal level, which allows us to infuse their celebration with personal touches and nods to their relationship, experiences together, and plans for the future,” Mara says. “It’s not uncommon for us to receive emails from guests after an event letting us know that they saw or experienced something extraordinary for the first time at our event.”

Mara got into the event business as a private event coordinator at a nightclub space downtown that worked very closely with the Salt Palace Convention Center. She had the opportunity to work with big-name companies like Chevron Oil, Brooks Running, Jansport and Dell Computers.

“Corporate clients are always looking for unique ways to brand an event and make it unique, so much of that has carried over into my social event design,” she says. “My parents and I are Romanian, we immigrated to the US when I was really little. Although I grew up in Utah, I spent my childhood at gatherings full of food (always so much food!), friends and family. My love for bringing people together started at a really young age. I love to celebrate and I’m very sentimental. Having the opportunity to make a career out of marrying those two passions has been incredibly rewarding.”

So what else is new? “We’ve widened our service offerings to include options that allow for the re-planning of an event that would have been elsewhere or would have been larger but has to be reconsidered to take place on a different date, with fewer guests, or in a completely different location.”

Amidst the unexpected changes of 2020 here is a bit of good news! After 44 years there has been a changing of the guard at Every Blooming Thing.

Pam March, treasured owner of Every Blooming Thing, leaves the store in the creative and capable hands of Robert Upwall.

Pam strived for Every Blooming Thing to be more than just a flower shop. “It was love at first creative exchange when Robert came onto the scene 20 years after its creation”, said Pam. The pair’s innovative approach, standard of excellence, support and participation in the Utah Arts scene truly set Every Blooming Thing apart. “Robert from the start was the obvious choice as successor,” she said. Now the dreams once imagined by both are fulfilled.

As Robert takes the helm we anticipate the best is yet to come. “The one guiding constant is that Every Bloom- ing Thing feels like home for me, our team, and most importantly our customers,” says Robert. “We are a part of the emotional highs and lows of the lives we touch—the gift we receive in return is the lives we connect with.”

Here is to their next 44!

From her own personal experience seeking a place to address intimate concerns, Suzi Sands, Founder and CEO of Aviva Woman, felt there was a gap in women’s health. She found that conventional medical clinics lack the skills and the time to take on many vital and common feminine health issues like libido, sexual function, hormone imbalance and low energy, and don’t provide a comfortable setting that allows women to talk freely and openly about such concerns.

Suzi’s background includes a degree in biology—she was later drawn to esthetics and was part of the opening team to develop the Montage Deer Valley Resort Spa. After that experience, Suzi was inspired to create her own specialized center, Aviva Woman—a place for women to comfortably address intimate concerns in the warmth of a Forbes star spa with the clinical treatments of health care services. To put guests at ease during the initial assessment, they take a less formal, more soothing approach, as Suzi says, “We wish to create a 5-star experience from start to finish, setting the tone and putting our guests at ease so that they can openly discuss with us various options.”

“It’s more than just about your cosmetic appearance. We make sure that couples and women are comfortable talking about desire and the healthy romantic relationship that is essential for intimacy,” Suzi says, “We listen and create a path to treatment that may include a variety of options from intimate care procedures such as ThermiVa to bio-identical hormone therapy.” Aviva Woman also includes med-spa services such as facials and cosmetic injections with the goal of aging gracefully and naturally whether it be by using Botox or Radio Frequency to address fine lines and wrinkles.

As an exciting addition, Aviva Woman now offers IV infusions like Glutathione, a super powerful antioxidant that can help support a strong immune response, and
ties into improving energy levels, helping you to feel your healthiest and best. Suzi says, “As a free radical scavenger, Glutathione aids in keeping the skin and hair healthy, promoting a better night’s sleep, and reviving energy so we have the time and desire to keep our relationships strong.”
