Spring Energy with Elizabeth Hamilton

There is nothing I enjoy more than knowing we are well on our way to spring, when the days are longer and warmer. Spring inspires me to get organized, but I also look forward to planning our next adventure, whether it’s in our gorgeous state or far away. From wellness retreats at Rancho La Puerta to fly-fishing at Three Forks Ranch and going for gold in Las Vegas, I am so thrilled to share these remarkable destinations with you.

Spring is also a great time to recommit to your wellness routine. We visited some local spas that make it so easy and convenient to pop in for a facial, cryotherapy session, massage or salt cave experience any day of the week.

What I also love about this time of year is seeing signs of new life and growth, and our Public Persona, Brad Corrigan, known as the lead
singer of Dispatch, is growing by leaps and bounds with his nonprofit, Love, Light + Melody. I am truly in awe of all he has done to promote awareness of the trash-dump communities in Nicaragua and to help raise funds to build schools through his film Ileana’s Smile.

I’m also inspired, as always, by the local organizations that are positively impacting our communities. Make sure to read about 5280 AIR Society, Bin Blessed and Invest In Kids in our Cause Worthy section.

This is a great time to look at your home with fresh eyes and see how to update and enhance your space without a full remodel or redesign. We caught up with some local designers and artists who are helping to make minor tweaks that offer big interior design impacts.

Don’t miss the divine dishes at Denver’s Clairette—a fully sustainable establishment with dishes, drinks and décor to keep you coming back for more. If you find yourself in Vail, Chasing Rabbits is another spot that keeps guests engrossed. Each visit is truly a one-of-a-kind experience for all the senses.

This issue is focused on travel, wellness and interior style, and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as we’ve enjoyed putting it together. Additionally, make sure to check out coloradoexpression.com for more curated content every week.

Here’s to spring!
