Summer Guide 2014

Table of ContentsTable of Contents

Hey, Lady!

We are so excited to

launch our second annual Sum-

mer Guide! This guide is filled

with fun gifts hand-picked by our

members for your next wedding

gift, Baby Shower or just because.

In the pages, you’ll find our mem-

bers’ favorite tips on how to make

it the best summer in your city.

What I love most about

our Summer & Holidays Guides is

that they are made by the mem-

bers, for the members. Mihaela

and Sarah did an amazing job

working with other members to

make this guide come to life. They

set up photoshoots with make up

artists, models and stylists, while

other members wrote articles on

their specialities. Lady Project is

all about collaboration-- and this

guide is a wonderful example of

what can happen when amazing

ladies team up to make some-

thing awesome.

Rhode Island kicks it up a

notch in the summer time- from

taking a day trip to Block Island

to happy hours at The Hot Club

and clam cakes and chowder at

Iggy’s. We hope the tips in our

guide help you explore our little

state and make some new favor-

ites this summer.

Since last summer’s guide,

Lady Project has expanded into

two new cities- Boston and New

Haven! We’re so excited to inte-

grate our new chapters into our

Summer Guide and showcase

what’s happening in those amaz-

ing cities.

We have a fantastic sum-

mer planned here in Providence-

from day trips to Block Island

and summer nights at Hot Club,

Lady Project is busy planning

events in Newport, a fun shop-

ping event and more ways how

we can showcase our amazing

members. We can’t wait!

On June 18 in Providence,

we’re celebrating the launch of

this guide at AQUA at the Marri-

ott-- hope to see you there!

BECOME A MEMBER OF

For many years, I debated the merits of using a community supported agriculture program, or CSA, as my main source of produce. The organic produce offerings at our local chain su-permarket were sparse, and I just wasn’t able to make it to a nearby farmers’ market often enough. Conversely, I had friends that would tell me that though their farm share was generally a good investment, they would regularly receive items they either didn’t know what to do with or didn’t like. Sometimes an entire week’s share might consist of a

bushel of a singular item, like let-tuce, broccoli rabe, or parsnips— and who wants that? My farmer friend and her husband solved this problem for me when they started a unique CSA program from their farm in Middletown, RI — Garman Organic Farm, LLC. What won me over to their program was the flexibility. Each week we could select what items we wanted from an online form listing what produce would be available. This was a huge selling point for me. I’d get a bag full of farm fresh organic produce each week and I could select exactly what I’d receive if I wanted to! Each week, the partici-pants in the CSA met in a central location to receive delivery of our share. The first week was especial-ly exciting as we eagerly awaited our bags, chatting the whole time about what we were planning to do with our produce. Our fees includ-ed an insulated reusable zippered bag with an icepack to make sure everything stayed chilled and

fresh until we could get it home. It felt a little like Christmas when farmer Jim Garman arrived and handed us our bags heavy with the week’s bounty. We’d find that some weeks there would even be one of the Garmans’ favorite recipes included with our produce, which was particularly useful the week I decided to try the fava beans with-out ever having prepared them be-fore! It’s awesome knowing not only that I’m supporting a local business and that my money is going directly to the farmer grow-ing my food, but that I also get to become part of a community of people passionate about their food and where it’s coming from. The term “CSA” is so commonplace now that we tend to forget what the individual letters stand for. The Garmans definitely emphasized the community aspect of CSA with their program, and encouraged us all to share our experiences with the produce we got each week. They maintain a Facebook group

just for their farm share customers, and during the summer season it is active with people sharing recipes, photos of meals they’ve made, and ideas for using what will be com-ing in the following week. This fully shared com-munity agriculture experience ensured that we always had some inspiration for what we received in our farm share bags, even if it was an item completely new to us. It helped me not only to eat more home-prepared healthful

foods, but also to become more ad-venturous in the kitchen. Among my discoveries: I absolutely love homemade pickles; zucchini is incredibly versatile (who knew that shredded zucchini slow sim-mered in olive oil could make the most delicious “butter”?); patty pan squash is the cutest squash I’ve stuffed; eggplant is so easy to cook; fried squash blossoms are pretty darn tasty; Swiss chard goes with everything (even in a green smoothie!); and turnips make mashed potatoes even better. I’m so excited for this year’s CSA season to start! Through pho-tos on the farm’s Facebook page, I’ve been watching the veggies and herbs grow, starting as tiny seeds freshly planted indoors under grow lights a couple of months ago. It’s fun to see pictures of so many of them in the actual ground on

the farm now, being tended to by the Garman family. Taking part in a CSA has really helped me become much more connected to my food and the people growing it than I realized it would, and it’s a wonderful feeling.

BRITTANY DROZD, PSYCHOTHERAPIST

Travel takes you out of your same old way of being and into a whole new world of possibility—there are so many way to find joy in life.

LIZ GUARDIA, TRAVELING YOGI

How did you two meet? What’s your background- career, where

you grew up, school?

We first met in 2000 as freshmen at Montserrat College of

Art (Beverly, MA), Danielle transferred after her first year to North-

eastern University to pursue her degree in Photography and

Business and Ellen stayed on to complete her training in Graph-

ic Design and Letterpress. We reconnected after graduation and

bonded over our mutual love of parties, paper, and making things

with our hands.

How did you come up with your name, Champagne & Ink?

Champagne & Ink is the literal and figurative representation

of what our business is about. Champagne for the celebration and

Ink is our dominant medium. Our business has two parts, styling

and Letterpress and two owners, so we wanted a name that reflect-

ed that.

What is your typical day on the job?

There is no typical day for us! Since we launched in January

2014 there have been so many moving parts to our business that

it keeps us going in all sorts of directions. On any given day you

can find us at our computers drafting press releases, filing sales tax

reports, researching for an upcoming project or designing for the

current ones. Sometimes we’re sprawled out on the floor or a table

somewhere sketching or creating projects for ourselves or clients,

or some days we’re outside scouting new locations or just getting

inspired by what is happening in the community.

Who’s your ideal/dream client?

Our dream client is a hip, discerning couple with a vision;

people who give us their initial ideas and then give us the room to

run with them. We love people who seek one of a kind items and

appreciate that everything thing we do is done 100% exclusively

for them.

What do you love about working in RI?

We’re both transplants to Aquidneck Island, Danielle from

Boston and Ellen from NH, and we just love how much AQ has to

offer, from organic farms, to gorgeous beaches, stately mansions,

and small businesses opening up all over the place. For a small is-

land the community is continually reinventing itself while staying

true to what makes it a landmark and we feel that is what makes it

such a special place to live and work.

M E M B E R S P O T L I G H T

What do you love about Lady Project?

We love the Lady Project for the excitement all the ladies

have for each other. It’s so easy for women to become competitive,

or just downright nasty to each other in the work place, so it is truly

amazing to have a professional outlet like the Lady Project where

women can gather and toss around ideas and goals without feel-

ing pressure or judgment from those around them. Likewise, no

business runs in a bubble, you’re always going to need a lawyer, an

accountant, a designer, a sales person, etc. etc. and with the Lady

Project being open to all kinds of professions we have the oppor-

tunity to seek advice, hire or trade work, or just grab a drink with

someone in a completely different profession.

Where do you see your business in 5 years?

Our goal for our first year is to open a studio space where

we can stretch our wings, and have a cozy spot to meet clients and

show them how we make the magic happen. In 5 years we hope

to have our own line of ready to order paper suites: save the dates,

invitations, thank you cards, note cards, etc. so that clients have a

selection of pre-designed work to choose from.

To the Graduates,A Letter

BY SHENAYE THOMAS

Dear Graduate,

It’s the big day. You’re sitting in your seat, euphoria pulsing through your veins. You

hear the slight echo of a speech being given. What are they saying anyway? You see

the flash of a camera. You hear the faint screams of proud parents in the audience.

You finally did it. After a long four years with nothing but blood, sweat, and tears

(there were lots of those), you did it.

You’re awakened out of your stupor as your row is told to stand. It’s your turn to cross

the stage and make your final exit. You turn around to see selfies being taken, best

friends hugging, and little kids asking if it’s over yet.

You reach the front of the line. You hand the announcer your name card, making

sure he pronounces it oh-so-perfectly. You hear the first syllables of your name as

you cross the stage. You hear an uproar of cheers and screams behind you. It all feels

so surreal. Is this really happening?

You find your way back to your seat, not remembering how you got there. This is the

most exciting day of your life. You’ve crossed the stage (without falling) and received

your diploma. But why do you still feel those little butterflies? The worst is over right?

Your mind begins to wander. What happens now? Should you go home? Take a few

weeks off? Find a job? Move across the country? What about your career? You’re

supposed to have it all figured out. “What are you doing after college?” You can hear

all the questions buzzing around.

What are you doing, you wonder. You haven’t really given it much thought. You were

just hoping things would, you know, just happen.

But life isn’t like college. It’s a big, bad world full of rules and bills to pay. It’s a

constant rat race against the debt collecting in your pocket. At least that what your

parents make it seem like.

But this is your big day. You’re not supposed to be worrying about these things. But

you can’t help but flicker back to those thoughts about what you’re going to do next.

You realize you have no idea what comes next. And you know what, that is 100

percent okay.

I want to let you in on a little secret. No one really knows for sure what they’re

going to do next. Plans change. Dreams change. People change. It’s not the

destination that matters, its the process, the journey that gets you there.

So what if you don’t work in some big, top notch company right out of college.

Maybe you dream of teaching others how to snorkel through the Great Barri-

er Reef. Or you want to be the next Oprah and host talk shows that really help.

Maybe you just want to paint, and sell your art in a small store.

I guess my biggest advice to you—to us—is to not let the pressure of the world

keep you from going on your journey. Don’t follow someone else’s journey

just to seem more successful. As cheesy as it sounds, follow your dreams, that

deep feeling you have within you. Walk across that stage knowing that what-

ever you do next, you’re gonna freakin’ love! And most of all, enjoy every single

minute of it.

To all of us graduates, congratulations. We did it! And to all of the future graduates,

you’re next. It’s not about the destination, but the journey.

From the girl who feels like she was a

freshman just five minutes ago,

B U S I N E S S S P O T L I G H T

How did Batchbook get started? What was the vision at the beginning and what is the vision now? Batchbook started with a few geeky parents who decided to build a tech company that would help entrepreneurs (including ourselves) achieve work/life balance. The original vision was world domination. We’ve since refined it as enabling a world economy dominated by busi-nesses that are passionate about life and work.

We’ve seen Batchbook and Batchaus - any other names for Batchbook? How did they come about? The company is BatchBlue, the CRM product is Batchbook and the office is the BatchHaus. “Batch” is a tech term for creating efficiencies with scale. Blue is for the Ocean State and because we are water bugs. And once we got going on a batch naming roll, we just went with it. Next is the BatchYacht.

What’s a typical Monday like at Batchbook? What about a Friday? Mondays are meeting days. We laugh and make to-do lists. Wednes-days are NO meeting days. We laugh and mark things off to-do lists. Fridays are fun days. We laugh and celebrate the things we got done. There is a lot of laughing. And eating and drinking. Some doing. :)

Describe Batchbook’s personality. Any quirks? Silly characteristics? Our personality is very diverse. We have debates on the sinusoi-dal rhythm of our metrics and whether the new Dallas show is as good as the old. You can either find us at the vegan restaurants or out on the farm hunting deer. We walk, bike, kayak, motorcycle and drive the largest trucks known to man to work. We have babies a lot. Diverse as the group is, we share a love of life and learning from each other.

What makes RI the best home for Batchbook? RI is a marvelous place to live and work. It is a very creative community full of interesting people very quietly doing revolutionary things. It’s got the hustle and excitement of a big city, but with an “every-body knows your name” small town feeling. It’s a good place to be the big fish in a small pond, yet the small state in a big world.

What’s something you’re looking to (A) change at Batchbook, (B) con-tinue doing at Batchbook, and (C) would like to start doing at Batch-book? As we grow we are working to keep sharing some of our old traditions with the new folks, like our official office drink the Pimmtini from the founding conversation at the now defunct Nat Porter’s Inn in Warren. We also love to try new things, whether it is a new feature in our app or a visiting masseuse in the office. Our VP of Strategy works as hard on getting new food trucks to the office as she does on our business metrics. And she makes a heavenly granola.

Money and scheduling no object: what would the Batchbook team do this weekend? Vacation? Fancy dinner? Movie night in the office? If money was no object, we would fly the entire team here, take the BatchYacht down to the BatchHaus Keys (our VP of Marketing’s house in Key West) and spend a week learning the science behind underwater wine aging while debating the superiority of Maine vs. Caribbean lobsters.

What is your favorite part about being a PVD Lady Project member? The people, always the people. We have met some amazing and incredibly diverse women through the PVD Lady Project events. There is nothing more beneficial to the work we are doing than taking our heads out of it every once in a while to hear the inspirational things other people are doing. PVD Lady Project events are a wonderful mix of education and fun, which are two of our favorite things. In the short time we’ve been involved we’ve already made some great connections with really talent-ed local women that we might not have met otherwise.

If you’d like to get started with world domination, or at least get your business more organized and make more sales this summer, then use the promo code “enjoysummer” to get 30% off on your first 3 months of Batchbook (offer expires 8/31/14).

one of the fabulous restaurants on East Greenwich's water front or

Chifferobe is finally opening their own studio in June! I can't help but

think that sampling our (dance, circus arts, and fitness) drop-in class-

es or workshops, which include everything from Yoga for Relaxation,

Parasol Dancing, The Business of Performing, Investigating Madame

Butterfly, and more....isn't a great way to feel fabulous and explore

something new. www.ChifferobeEvents.com

The best summers mean looking + feeling great with less but what to

do when your toes are out + you don't have tons to spend on a pedi!?

when getting a mani or pedi try a color change in-between... it's only

a couple dollars + most of the time includes everything but water!

erage, and a lovely picnic, than by taking in a Polo Match! Wear your

best seersucker, and be prepared to stomp the divots. Tickets are a

very reasonable $12 and parking is FREE. Polo is a BYOB and a BYO

cheese and crackers, blanket, and lawn chair. Great for families, dogs

Keep a grocery list in an app like "Our Groceries" to keep track of what

you need at home, so that when you hit the farmers market for that

fresh produce, (My favorite is the Union Square market in Somerville)

nothing goes to waste!

Westminster St. Eatery Stroll... We spent a Saturday afternoon going

from one spot to another on Westminster and trying the different eat-

eries in that area (The Eddy's - Bodega Malaseña - Flan y Ajo - AS220

- Gracie's)... it was so much fun and there are new places now too. We

are planning to do it again this summer!

A walk by Jamaica Pond is only enhanced by a small cup of Fomu on

Centre Street in Jamaica Plain (yes, you can combine two flavors in a

small!). Rent the rowboat from the boathouse for an hour to enjoy the

pond from a unique perspective.

RACHEL PANITCH

Check out the new Restaurant The Bread Lab in the Hope Artiste Vil-

lage. Great spot for an after work cocktail with friends. Try their yum-

my bread sampler with a variety of tasty spreads and breads. oh so

good.

Do your travel plans this summer include an overnight stay at a fabu-

lous hotel? Before you checkout of your room grab those unused hotel

amenities (soap, shampoo, lotion, etc.) and bring them back to RI to be

donated to Amenity Aid. This Rhode Island based nonprofit supplies

personal care products to local shelters and other organizations that

support our neighbors that are in-need or at-risk. To learn more about

this charity, or to arrange a donation delivery, please visit AmenityAid.

NEW HAVEN

Take an afternoon and go wireless and tireless. Put away that cell

phone and the car keys and just go for a walk. It's the best way to get to

know New Haven!

Catch the Vintanthromobile - Connecticut's 1st and only mobile vin-

vals, farmer's markets and social events this summer! Why buy vintage

clothing in favor of well-made, one of a kind clothing, shoes and acces-

sories that reduce your carbon-footprint and look even more amazing

than you already do! For more info go to www.vintanthromodernvin-
