We look forward to sharing our social distancing methods regarding cuisine and farm-fresh ingredients, wellness and beauty, shopping and essential services, charity and community engagement, and culture and entertainment during this difficult time. Stay safe.
Sweet Swimwear
Now that beaches, marinas and pools have reopened, its time to revamp the resort wardrobe. Along with South Florida mainstays from Montce swimwear to Mermaids Swim Boutique, Amina Swim is a nice addition to the local scene. The emerging designer brand offers interesting styles like the Nadis lace-up, high-neck top and the Riviera set, pictured here, with straps and cutouts.

Picnic Party
Because al fresco activities with social distancing are recommended as healthier alternatives when leaving the house, its a great excuse to get a few friends together for a picnic. Order a bunch of yummy selections from Lunch Room Sandwiches, which operates a few locations around Fort Lauderdale, and hit your favorite park or garden. (The menu is perfect for boating daytrips, too.)

Just when eyebrows around town needed serious grooming, Gee Beautys well-touted services return. Its Sunset Harbour spa and boutique enforces strict protocol from installing Plexiglas screens to taking everyones temperature including clients. Enjoy top-notch treatments such as De.

Nu Notes
Missing live music? The second-best thing is watching Nu Deco Ensembles recorded concerts on its Facebook page. The regionally based, hybrid orchestra has carved out a niche for combining classical instruments with contemporary music (EDM, pop, R&B). Tune in for their collaborations with Ben Folds, Daft Punk, Nina Simone, Wyclef Jean, composer/DJ Mason Bates and more.
