Wellness

This year, I am stepping into a new chapter.
But not because life was easy. 
I failed hard and through it, I won big.
I was stretched, humbled, cracked open. I lost people I thought would walk with me forever.
And I made room for the ones who truly see me. I learned that growth doesn’t always look like forward motion.
Sometimes it looks like heartbreak.
Like starting again.
Like trusting yourself when the outcome is uncertain. I found faith. Real, unshakable faith.
The kind that holds you when nothing else does. I learned how strong my body is when I listen instead of punish.
How powerful my voice is when I stop doubting it. I honor where I’ve been, but I’m not carrying it into what comes next. 
This year, I choose alignment over proving.
Peace over pressure.
Purpose over fear. This is the season I rise.
Wiser. Softer. Stronger than ever. 
And I’m walking into it with my whole heart. Happy New Year’s Eve, friends! Wishing you clarity, comfort and growth. #CherryCreekMag #cherrycreekmagazine #newyearsresolution #newyearseve #2026

Pinkies up, indeed. ☕✨ Gather your girlfriends and escape for an afternoon of Holiday Tea at Local Jones. Think warm scones, house-made pastries, savory sandwiches, Champagne, and beautifully crafted winter cocktails that feel perfectly of the season. Curated by Pastry Chef Liliana Myers, this is afternoon tea with a modern point of view. Cozy, indulgent, and absolutely worth reserving time for this winter! #cherrycreekmagazine #localjones #denverholidays #cherrycreeknorth #reels

Holiday magic is officially happening upstairs. ✨ The Clayton Hotel & Members Club’s Rooftop Restaurant is glowing in rich burgundy hues, setting the scene for a holiday menu that delivers on every level.

If you’re looking for a spot that truly feels like the season, this is it. #CherryCreekMagazine #TheClaytonClub #DenverHolidays #CherryCreekNorth #denverrestaurants

We visited @aypapidenver in Cherry Creek for the Polar Bear Express pop-up, where the bar fully embraces holiday cheer with twinkling lights, garlands, and tiny Santa hats on every chair. EDM holiday remixes kept the energy high, delighting guests and providing a contrast to the bar’s signature Latin vibe. Cocktail highlights included Bad Santa (a bourbon gem with fig, lemon, Montenegro, allspice dram, and soda…our favorite), Tipsy Prancer (tequila with falernum, cranberry, ginger, and lime), the indulgent Coquito in a coconut, and Resting Grinch Face. The food impressed as well, with standout scallop crudo, ceviche, guacamole and chips, serrano ham with Idiazabal cheese, and choripan sandwich. Escape to Ay Papi’s Polar Bear Express in Cherry Creek while this festive pop-up lasts. It delivers the perfect blend of holiday spirit, bold cocktails, and memorable bites. 🚂🎄🍸 #AyPapiDenver #PolarBearExpress #CherryCreek #HolidayVibes #DenverEats #FestiveAF

Holiday Tea at the @brownpalace feels like stepping inside Denver’s most storied tradition. Recently, our Editor Betsy Marr gathered nine of her favorite women, and together they toasted the season, two birthdays, and the simple joy of setting our daily chaos aside for a few hours. Surrounded by the glittering décor and the iconic Debutante Chandelier, the ladies sipped English tea (and plenty of bubbly), indulged in warm scones and perfect confections, and listened to the piano drift through the atrium. @ladiesluxerides whisked the group from school drop-off to the hotel and back again, which made the entire day feel seamless and special. It was a beautiful reminder of what this time of year is about. Making space. Creating memories. Holding your people close. If you have never experienced Holiday Tea at The Brown Palace, it is truly a Denver classic. Put it on your holiday bucket list.   #CherryCreekMagazine

From sewing with exiled Mormons from the Warren Jeffs sect to landing on NFL sidelines in front of millions, Kady’s story is one of the wildest and most inspiring I have ever told. I have known her since she was an intern at my former PR firm, long before Kadyluxe existed, and watching her carve this path has been nothing short of extraordinary. “Stitched From Fire” is about grit, reinvention, and the kind of ambition that refuses to quit. It is raw, real, and rooted in a woman who turned every setback into fuel. Read the full story at the link in bio. This one stays with you. #CherryCreekMag #DenverStyle #DenverFashion #WomenInBusiness #ColoradoDesign #Kadyluxe
