August American Lifestyle Magazine
Summer may soon be winding down, but that doesn't mean the time for adventures is over. To help you stay inspired and make the most of the remainder of the season, this issue of American Lifestyle is here with new destinations to explore in the western United States, fresh handheld meals, a deep dive into an artist's incredible journey, and a look at how one Ohio charity assists teachers and students in need.
If you're seeking new spots for your travels, why not consider some of our nation’s most stunning yet lesser-known destinations? To the west, you'll find spectacular natural locales that offer seemingly otherworldly landscapes, including the icy ridges of the Tracy Arm Fjord in Alaska and the cracked desert floor of Badwater Basin in California—see the enclosed guide for more.
Nothing can lend a pick-me-up like fresh and vibrant flavors, and the two included Mediterranean-inspired sandwich recipes provide them in spades. Whether for lunch or dinner, enjoy a chicken gyro stuffed with crisp veggies and cool tzatziki or an Egyptian falafel wrap featuring tangy pickles and a creamy tahini sauce. Either is sure to satisfy!
The path to art success isn't always simple or straightforward, as the painter Cooper can certainly attest to. Discover how this Indiana native went from creating murals on buildings to showcasing his imaginative paintings at prestigious fine art galleries, proving that with dedication and determination, anything is possible.
Every child deserves the materials they need to thrive in school, and the nonprofit Crayons to Classrooms endeavors to help teachers supply such materials at no cost to them. Inside, marketing coordinator Malena Ball shares the difference that committed volunteers and hard work can make in supporting education.
