Caroline Gallay Mister Clean Up and at ���em by 5 am each morning, Brent Rodgers does his part to keep Dallas beautiful by delivering fresh juices to the body conscious amongst us. Launched in June, Roots Juices has quickly developed a cult following due, in large part, to his cold-pressed juicing system and impressive complimentary delivery service with a $30 minimum order. ���It���s important for someone to wake up and have a cleanse at their doorstep,��� says the stockbroker turned entrepreneur. ���Otherwise they are likely to fall off the wagon.��� All juices are cold-pressed, which keeps the vitamins, minerals and enzymes intact, resulting in a product that has 50 times more nutrients than a fresh juice made at home or those prepackaged at natural grocers. Rodgers recommends a ���ve-day cleanse in order to get the most bene���t. This consists of an eight-juice lineup, smartly coded in a drink-in-this-order system developed with a nutritionist for maximum results. With names such as Glow and Restore, each 14-ounce concoction contains up to three pounds of blended, organic fruits and vegetables. Side note: To balance your (not always healthy) lifestyle, he also offers cocktail mixers and a Hangover Recovery Kit. Talk about forward thinking. Cleanses from $50 per day; order online through rootspressed juices.com or pick up at Beyond Pilates, Equinox or Exhale.

MAXINE HELFMAN Jeanine Payer Media Darlings A Tale of Social Outcasts and the New It Apps Renowned For The Count Restaurant Buzz When you combine the magnetism of Forty Five Ten with the intimacy of Five and Ten, there���s a common denominator: wunderkind Brian Bolke. And, come mid-October, expect a retail triumvirate with the opening of Number One, a boutique curated with an organic point of view. Bolke explains, ���Number One is really about the best, but best as de���ned in a new way ��� best sourced, best tasting, best feeling, best smelling, best for the earth. It embodies every aspect related to taking care of oneself ��� what we put in our bodies, on our bodies, and surround ourselves with.��� The space (designed by Droese Raney Architecture) will feature soaring ceilings, exposed-brick walls and windows taken from Highland Park Village���s original soda-fountain location. The store lineup includes fashion from Urban Zen by Donna Karan, Kristensen de Nord, Herff Christiansen, The Lady and The Sailor, and the introduction of a Number One collection. Jewelry from Jeanine Payer and Marion Cage and home-related offerings from Diptyque, C��t�� Bastide and Heath Ceramics round out the mix. But perhaps the most enticing addition involves Bolke���s collaboration with Dana Card, founder of Le Jus. Organic pressed juices, coffee, teas and artisanally crafted food can be ordered in or taken to go. At press time, shop hours were still pending, but expect doors to open early enough to satisfy anyone with a Number One track mind. 1 Highland Park Village. 214.520.0101. numberonelejus.com.

Taylor Friedman T he modern smartphone has led us out into a world of unrestricted communication and possibility. And yet, despite this tidal shift, the social networking giants of the past decade are showing their age. Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter now demonstrate an emphatic display of bloat, whilst quick-witted competition gains traction. For those looking to stay ahead of the curve, perhaps the most compelling competitor is a little-known company called Path. Valued in the vicinity of $250 million within a year of its launch, Path is a mobile-only app characterized by a beautiful, responsive design; delightful interactions; and far-reaching features for the well-connected person on the go. Richard Branson, founder of the multi-billion-dollar Virgin Group, went so far as to describe Path���s founder, Dave Morin, as a ���genius��� ��� quickly embossing his words with a $40 million investment into the ���edgling startup. Widely touted as the next social-media darling, Path should make an appearance on any self-respecting smartphone in very short order. Meanwhile, just as Path has begun to undermine the ���agging dominance of Facebook, Fancy is attempting to do the same for the oddly recent arrival, Pinterest. Latching onto the socialized shopping experience that so many have come to repurpose Pinterest for, Fancy takes the matter several steps SEPTEMBER | PAGE 6 | 2012 further by allowing users to purchase any saved items right there in the phenomenal Fancy app. With an exploding audience, rumors of both Apple and Facebook acquisitions and a well-considered design, Fancy is the antithesis to the confusing, mobilefailing Pinterest of the past 12 months. For the modern shopper, Fancy is undoubtedly poised to become one of the most important social networks of the future. Finally, lacking any semblance of a long-term business plan, Twitter has descended into erratic and off-putting behavior. Implementing ill-considered designs in its apps, slamming the door on its third-party supporters and spewing advertising upon its users, the real-time service has begun to drastically shed its relevance. Sensing an opportunity, App.net has just revealed itself to the world. Although still in its nascent stages, App.net���s outset goal is to establish itself as a stable, long-term means for the intellectual discussion of design, fashion, business and technology. Building a paid wall around the service, App.net is a veritable utopia when compared to Twitter ��� obnoxious Wonka accounts utterly disallowed, journalists and entrepreneurs approachable, and celebrity parody users thankfully missing. For the person invested in real-time news and discussion, App.net is fast becoming the place to see and be seen. Matt Alexander
