Fabrizio Di Paolo
Freelance Fashion & Street Photography
Fabrizio Di Paolo, freelance fashion and street photographer, collaborates with newspapers, men’s fashion magazine and world renowned bloggers. Today one of the most followed Italian photographers of this fashion area on Instagram, especially during the events of Pitti Immagine Uomo.
If you ask me when and how I decided that I wanted to be a photographer I answer you that I believe destiny decided for me. When I was a child I always had an attraction for the camera. I still remember when at age of 3 running all over my house, taking pictures. Since then, things have not changed so much.
This is absolutely my dream job.
I consider myself a lucky person. Confucius said “Choose the job you love and you’ll never work, not even a day in your life”. I let myself be carried away by my instinct. When I shoot I enter a world of my own, where the photo that I will shoot it’s already etched in my mind. Everything is to capture precisely that moment.
On the day of my first show I was very happy and impressed by people’s appreciation of my work. Actually the thing I liked most was that everyone tried to “read” my pictures, everyone saw something different, different emotions coming up from my works. I thanked them for telling them that I would have appreciated every form of criticism because I’m convinced that it is a way of personal growth. Sometimes there is a single image whose compositional structure has such force and such wealth and the contents of which radiate so much out of it that this single picture is a whole story in itself.
The beauty of photography is that it gives you a way to take ideas and inspiration from anyone, no matter how famous. The list of the photographer I admire could be infinite but if I have to choose a name I would say Scott Schumann the one who is able to tell, through his camera, the largest fashion catwalk: everyday life.

HIGH Fitness
The Return of Aerobics!
HIGH fitness has brought aerobics back in a hip and unique way, and the world is taking notice! The revival of this fitness trend has quickly become the hottest new workout across Canada and the US. HIGH fitness has famous names and faces getting their sweat on in classes: Julianne Hough, Rachel Parcell, the LA Laker Dancers, and the Indianapolis Colts and Arizona Cardinals Cheerleaders are taking classes and raving about them. Think Old School Aerobics made Modern. Cardio and toning meets Jane Fonda with a side of Richard Simmons. You will have a blast, see real results both physically and mentally, and leave this class wanting more because it’s so much fun!
HIGH Fitness is the vision of Amber Zenith (former dirt bike racer and tennis champ) and Emily Nelson (dance expert and journalism major). They knew there was a better way than spending paining, dreaded hours in the gym. Already group exercise enthusiasts, they took old school aerobics and simplified the moves; added intense fitness-based moves; and made it more fun with music of all genres and decades. Aerobics is safer and more effective than ever before! With their combined fitness, business, dance, and marketing backgrounds, in just 5 years, they have built a very successful fitness empire that changes the lives of people every day. They show people they are already great, they just have to believe it themselves. HIGH Fitness has been featured in national and local media outlets across North America including People Magazine, HYPE, ABC, TSN, ESPN, FOX and more.
HIGH Fitness was established as a business in 2014. Amber came up with the concept in Calgary, Canada with the plan to partner up with her friend and colleague Emily Nelson in Utah. Together they took a single class to the next level with classes now found in over 450 cities in North America. HIGH Fitness brings old school aerobics back with a modern twist. The Vision for HIGH Fitness is to make group fitness more accessible to more people, by creating something that everyone can follow. The Fitness Industry is telling people constantly that they are not enough. HIGH Fitness wanted to create a class as much about mental health, Then the physical health. Classes that cultivate a community atmosphere with a welcoming feel. HIGH Fitness wants to encourage clients to be the best version of themselves, as well as achieving the highest levels of confidence. HIGH Fitness will become a household name for 90% of gyms offer the brand. Many people love High Fitness classes because it so easy to follow. HIGH defines “Fitness” as a way of feeling good while burning off steam. A couple of inspiring aerobic / fitness instructors for HIGH Fitness would be Richard Simmons who was 100% Authentically himself, and Tracy Anderson who has modernized movement.

A sweaty blast
Nostalgic and fun music from all decades and genres that will motivate you to the max.

Fresh Vine Wine
The Healthier Choice in Wine
Fresh Vine established in 2019 is committed to making premium wines enjoyed by health-conscious individuals with a clean, all-natural, low carb winemaking approach. The motivation for the name “Fresh Vine” was to capture the idea of bringing something to the forefront of the wine industry that was fun, exciting, fresh from a new age perspective.
We are taking collective experience from the vineyard into the winery, and ultimately into The Addison Suite Magazine and we are having some fun while we are doing it. We watched the beer industry do a masterful job putting it into everybody’s refrigerator. Our wines are thoughtfully crafted by California winemaker, Jamey Whetstone. Fresh Vine wants to bring a “Fresh” prospective to the market place.
We would like to see people rewarded for what they put into there bodies. Our Vision is healthy, something that is natural. We have the Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and the Chardonnay that will be ubiquitous throughout the market place both on and off-premise.
All 3 wines are based on over-delivering for the price point. We are bringing a hi-end experience into a reasonably priced bottle of wine.
The Cabernet you would expect to pay a little more money for, It has that “Napa” quality, It’s a little bigger in terms of that fruit-forward but it also has nice oak as well, which is delicious with or without your food. Our Chardonnay is not overly oaked but it also walks a fine line, where you have a balance between the oak along with the fruit core. Our Pinot Noir was the most important and crucial wine that we are producing, taking a page out of the California book where we have the wonderful sunshine along with the fruit core as well as the finesse that you find in some of the older European Burgundian properties.
MEET THE WINEMAKER
Jamey Whetstone
Jamey moved out to California from his home in South Carolina to manage Mustards Grill in 1996. Simply captivated by the community, lifestyle, and culture of wine country, he found himself quickly growing roots. By 1998, he had begun his winemaking education at Turley Wine Cellars where he would remain in his apprenticeship until 2005. During that time, he spent a summer sabbatical working for the Seysses family at Domaine Dujac in Morey-Saint-Denis and laid the groundwork for Whetstone Wine Cellars, which he founded in 2002.
Jamey shares in our vision to create better wines that complement his active lifestyle. Jamey is an avid surfer, skier, and all-around outdoorsman. His passion for winemaking is mirrored by his passion for adventure, and he wanted to create a health-conscious wine alternative that he can be proud to bring to the table. Our Fresh Vine Cabernet Sauvignon is the first release of those wines.

Mayió Cigars
Luxurious Smoke
The conception of Mayió Cigars commenced with the intent to merge the world of male and female cigar lovers, cigar aficionados and cigar newcomers. The experience creates an atmosphere to escape, in which time does not exist and schedules do not matter. Where you can be yourself, free from judgment…where you can “be in your element…”
Our brand encourages your own style, sexiness, and smoothness because after all, “smooth is a lifestyle.”
We create and age our cigars overseas in the Dominican Republic and have them imported to the United States. We currently have three distinct blends of cigars: The Mayió Red, The Mayió Black (Our Signature Cigar), and the Mayió Gold.
For my signature cigar, I wanted to create a stick that resembled me, spicy with just the right amount of subtle sweetness.
My ancestors are of Cameroonian descent and of course being a Virginian, which was notorious for tobacco, this cigar is wrapped in Cameroon, one of the most sought after tobacco wrappers.
The Mayió Black is a robust cigar, but does not neglect its smoothness and integrity throughout the smoke. Not to mention, it is sure to create a nice aroma in the atmosphere.
In the event you have any questions or issues, please feel free to contact us. We appreciate your business.

Things were not always this way for Courtney. Battling depression from her teen years and just going through the motions of life left her feeling unfilled and wanting to find that missing piece. Before becoming a cake goddess she was like the rest of us, just fumbling her way through recipes, trying new ways to bake cakes and fun ways to decorate them until one day, she knew there had to be a better way. Her passion for baking cakes grew as that empty feeling inside her disappeared. She found her passion and an outlet to express herself. Thru her journey, she found a powerful way to teach others the same baking and decorating skills that have brought her so much joy.
“It is empowering for a person to learn a new skill and accomplish something outside of their comfort zone. That is what I am here to do," says Courtney of empowering others through her online and in person baking and decorating lessons.
Some of the most popular viral cakes that can be seen on the internet were ideas that started in her mind and in her kitchen. The most popular of these cakes are the Almond Joy cake, the Peanut Butter and Jelly Cake, the Rainbow Swirl cake, the Caramel Apple cake and so many more. Who’s hungry now?! Courtney also shares secrets to delicious, allergen-free cakes, so all may enjoy the delight that is cake.
Cake by Courtney is about more than just baking and decorating cakes. Courtney Rich has dedicated her life to helping others feel pride and accomplishment in what she has found so much joy doing. She hopes, through her online tips and tricks and through her in-person lessons that she can bring that same joy of accomplishment in the kitchen to others.
Courtney has continued to grow her cake business from just teaching classes in person to launching virtual classes and has launched and designed her own line of cake tools. Courtney’s energy fills a room immediately making her cake classes have a 3,000 person waiting list. Courtney’s goal is to continue to inspire people and let them know you never know when you will find that special thing that fills your soul and lights you up! Baking cake for Courtney has done just that.
