YOUR FALL RESET | Building A Routine That Sticks

There’s something about fall that makes us crave a reset—a little more routine, a little more structure, and a fresh start after many anything-goes days of summer.

But when it comes to movement, getting back into a routine doesn’t have to mean overhauling everything overnight.

We asked Dr. Meg Moore of the — reform method Pilates + Physical Therapy to share four simple ways she builds a movement routine that feels good, works with real life, and—most importantly—actually sticks.

Swipe for her four tips + a few of the go-to essentials that help keep her moving.

SCOUTED FOR VOL. 3 | SweatShack

A welcoming workout environment—but with a little edge.

Founded in 2025 by Jordan Shackelford, SweatShack is a cool, vibey studio located in Northfield that offers personal training and Pilates for all ages, abilities, and fitness goals. So whether you’re a beginner, a competitive athlete, or someone who lives at the gym, everyone is welcome, and workouts incorporate the latest techniques in strength, agility, and endurance training.

ABOUT THE OWNER | Jordan has spent more than 20 years in the fitness industry, and for her, working out has always been more than just physical strength. She loves helping clients use movement to feel stronger, stay healthy, and quiet the mind.

You might also recognize Jordan from Shred415 North Shore, where she has been a partner since 2013 and helped bring the popular workout concept to the North Shore.

And on a completely unrelated—but also, in our opinion, important note: We can’t wait for you to see SweatShack’s spread in Volume 3 at the end of the month: Think fitness meets fashion 🩵 💃🏿🏋️

ALL EYES ON FALL | Seasonal Landscaping 🍂

Autumn doesn’t officially arrive until September 22—but a little planning ahead will ensure your exterior is updated when it does.

Mums, cabbages, and pumpkins should be scheduled weeks in advance so your property is ready the moment the season turns. Planning ahead means the right color, containers, and decor are in place when you want them—not when they’re available.⁠

A MUST-TRY FACIAL | Immense Wellness & Med Spa

There are facials—and then there’s the Mermaid Facial, a treatment that takes this skin ritual several steps further.

WHY WE LOVE IT | Packed with skin-boosting ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin B12, vitamin C, and a Botox-inspired peptide complex, the treatment is designed to deeply hydrate, firm, support collagen production, and leave skin looking fresh and glowy.

THE UNEXPECTED INGREDIENT | Salmon DNA. Yep, we said salmon. This buzzy ingredient is used to support skin repair and regeneration, encourage cell turnover, and deliver a serious dose of hydration.

THE EXTRAS | The treatment doesn’t stop at your face. It also targets the delicate under-eye area and includes a restorative lip treatment designed to hydrate, enhance your natural pink tone, and leave lips looking healthy and refreshed.

THE TIMING | 45–60 minutes

THE DOWNTIME | None 😉

SCOUTED FOR VOL. 3 | Juniper

Opening tomorrow in Highwood, Juniper is a modern American restaurant and bar born from a shared vision between Executive Chef Todd Stein and General Manager TJ Bachmeyer—two hospitality veterans who believe a great restaurant isn’t about formality; it’s about making people feel like they belong.

THE INTERIOR | Designed by Kehoe Designs | Event Design & Décor with juniper trees woven throughout the concept, the space brings city energy and sophistication to the North Shore—without the commute.

THE FOOD | The menu brings together two distinct culinary worlds—modern American favorites and precision-crafted sushi.

A few things you’ll find on the menu:

💚 Crispy artichokes
🥩 Filet mignon sliders
🐟 Branzino with lemon-caper piccata sauce
🍽️ Seared tuna salad
🍗 Crispy chicken sandwich
🌽 Elotes-style corn
🦪 Chilled East Coast oysters with wasabi cocktail sauce
🍣 Plenty of fresh, expertly crafted sushi

THE DRINKS | The cocktail list follows suit: plenty of options and a little something for every kind of drinker:

🍋‍🟩 Verbena Gimlet
🫚 Juni’s G&T
🥭 Mango Martini
🍸 Classic Dirty
🍶 Sake + wines by the glass and bottle

THE CHEFS | Executive Chef Todd Stein brings more than three decades of culinary and operational experience, and Executive Sushi Chef Akira Yang most recently founded Akira Sushi, where he spent more than five years building a loyal following.

SCOUTED FOR VOL. 3 | Saville Flowers 💐

Most businesses have a story to tell, and this one is pretty special because it has four generations’ worth 🙌

It all started in 1943, when Don Saville opened the doors with a simple goal: to bring beautiful flowers to the Evanston community. More than 80 years later, his great-grandson, Mark Jones, is carrying on the family legacy with Saville Flowers. What’s even cooler? When you walk into the store, its history is evident.

Whether you need flowers “just because” or are planning something big, Saville Flowers has you covered:

🌸 Everyday arrangements
🌻 Floral subscriptions
🌸 Weddings + special events
🌻 Same-day delivery throughout the North Shore + Chicago

A little behind-the-scenes story: We first discovered Mark after seeing a video of him dancing to a Taylor Swift song on Instagram and immediately knew he had to be in The Scout Guide North Shore, so we fired off a random fan-girl email, and here we are 🥳.

Mark and his team are not only talented but also SO. MUCH. FUN.

Swipe to see some of the many incredible floral arrangements they’ve done and follow Evanston, Chicago, + North Shore Florist | Same-Day Delivery if you want to smile at their awesome reels + floral installs.
