contents from the editor

The first time I walked into FOXERS, I felt like I was in a boutique in Midtown Atlanta.

The lingerie was some of the most beautiful I’d ever seen.

The lace is so soft and the fit is perfect.

April Spring, CEO and founder of FOXERS, came up with a genius idea and now holds two patents on her famous boxers. And they are the most comfortable, stylish undergarments I’ve ever worn.

Her store is just outside the Forsyth County line in Dawson. Go see her and the amazing merchandise she offers. You won’t be sorry.

Before the holidays, I went to a local festival and saw a booth full of beautiful banjos. Manning the booth was Jimmy Loudermilk, owner of Coal Mountain Panjo.

Jimmy makes the instruments — which are actually called panjos — and his designs are so unique. Not only are the panjos and cigar box guitars a work of art, you can actually play them.

I’ve always been the musical, artistic type, but never learned how to play a string instrument. Anyone can pick up one of Jimmy’s panjos and play. And he is more than happy to teach you how. I fell in love with his panjos and bought them for my nieces and nephew (and a few for myself.)

Valentine’s Day is approaching and our hiking expert found six day hikes you can do with your significant other. Get outside and enjoy nature together!

And our mental health expert talks about the importance of self-care, which I think we could all benefit from.

4 FOXERS: ‘Try one pair, you’ll be hooked’ April Spring, owner and CEO of FOXERS, had the idea years ago to put the stretchy band from the waistline of men’s boxers onto other styles of underwear for both men and women. Today, her innovative undergarment is known by many. She recently moved her business to North Georgia.

Unmentionables you’ll definitely be talking about

FOXERS makes upscale womens underwear that is both stylish and comfortable Story by Jennifer Colosimo

Y

ou may refer to them as unmentionables, but the underwear at this Dawson County boutique is definitely worth talking about.

Opened in 2021 by April Spring, CEO of the 2007-born global brand by the same name, FOXERS flagship store is the fruit of her below-the-belt light-bulb idea.

That revelation — one she holds two patents for — was putting the stretchy band from the waistline of men’s boxers onto other styles of underwear for both men and women.

The result was a game changer in undergarments and the launch pad for a highly trafficked website and her storefront filled with innovative underwear, clothing, accessories, and more.

“I have loved fashion since I can remember,” said Spring, an investor relations guru originally from Norfolk, Va. “I grew up loving to dress up and create new looks of my own. After many years in the business world, I thought this was the perfect time to follow my passion.

“Having the business background has helped us to persevere through so many ups and downs of the economy and the business of an entrepreneur.”

And in the underwear industry, those ups and downs often have something to do with the consumer.

“I hear it all of the time — people will say, ‘that’s for the young girls, not me!’” said Spring. “This is the craziest response. Underwear is for everyone. I think, because for so many years panties were so plain and ugly, that women believed pretty equaled sexy.

“This is the biggest misconception.

Pretty is for us, for you, for the woman herself. I make fun, comfortable, and foxy underwear for men and women of all ages and sizes.”

Underwear is for everyone. I think, because for so many years panties were so plain and ugly, that women believed pretty equaled sexy. This is the biggest misconception.

In fact, through FOXERS, Spring has curated an entire lifestyle to covet. It offers plenty of sexy, lacy options, and a bridal line to boot, but its comfortable styles and complementary retail introduce a cozy elegance that most of us are craving after more than a year of staying home.

“It’s built for lounging,” said Spring, who traded a decade of city life in Midtown Atlanta for the calming serenity and mountain-lake scenery of North Georgia, along with her husband and FOXERS CIO, Alex Emmermann. “And it’s for everyone, even my 88-year-old aunts. The FXBB style FOXERS boxer briefs for women — these are made for women. There’s no ugly pouch like most faux women’s boxers. If you just try one pair, you’ll be hooked.”

You could say the same thing about shopping there. Located in Dawson County, just outside the Forsyth County line off Ga. 400, it’s an easy stop for commuters.

And it’s even simpler once you’re inside.

Channeling her scenic surroundings, the store is cozy, warm, and welcoming. Think lodge life, with cozy cotton sweaters and animal prints, luscious Italian handbags, and trendy dresses and coats.

Hands down, though, the reason to shop FOXERS (online or in the new, 1,000-square-foot store) is for the famous FOXERS boxers with pockets for women and men.

Spring calls them fun and comfortable, but also utilitarian, something she mimics throughout the selection of apparel and accessories she carries in the store, and in the way her sales associates are trained to greet customers.

“We welcome everyone like a neighbor, and it’s been fun to introduce ourselves and the business as the new local brand that we hope they will be proud to say is from Dawsonville,” said Spring.

Her team takes a personalized approach to make sure you find what you want, what you like, and what’s going to make you wonder why you hadn’t shopped here before. Their goal includes making sure you know that FOXERS isn’t just a bouContinued on Page 8

tique with lovely things, but an anchor store with clothing and accessories to make it a head-to-toe expedition.

“Each of the FOXERS team members is excited about the brand and now very excited to have the customer feedback and relationship experience,” said Spring, nodding to the new storefront.

“All of us have been behind the scenes for 15 years and now it’s fun to get to meet some of our customers face-to-face, and hear their opinions and ideas.”

Of course, you can’t talk about things like lingerie — even the comfy kind — without acknowledging that Valentine’s Day is around the corner. But FOXERS has customers covered with conventional gifts for both men and women.

Jimmy Loudermilk, owner of Coal Mountain Panjo, plays one of the instruments he made.

‘It’s about the music’

Local man passes on passion for music with his handmade instrument inspired by 1800s Appalachia Story by Sabrina Kerns | Photos by Jeremy Coleman

J

immy Loudermilk first started playing music when he was only 8 years old, picking up the guitar before moving on to every stringed instrument he could get his hands on.

He loved the way music could bring him and his friends and family together while also giving him a brief escape from his worries as he paid close attention to making his music come to life.

After years of playing music, he saw an etching from the Civil War era of two men sitting at a campsite, one of them holding an 12 | 400 LIFE | February 2022

instrument made from a cigar box — the likes of which Loudermilk said he had never seen before.

The man in the etching holds the stringed instrument under his chin and plays it with a bow much like a violin.

This inspired Loudermilk to start thinking outside of the box when it came to music, and he eventually found his way to the Museum of Appalachia in Clinton, Tennessee, where he learned about instruments made by everyday people in that area in the 1800s.

It makes me feel like if I was on a deserted island somewhere that somehow, no matter what the circumstance, I could make something to play music.

- Jimmy Loudermilk, musician and owner of Coal Mountain Panjo

Loudermilk sells his panjos at shows and festivals in the area.

“People used to make instruments out of whatever they had at home, and I like that spirit,” Loudermilk said. “They couldn’t afford instruments, so they would make stuff out of what they had.”

This idea eventually inspired the Forsyth County resident to create Coal Mountain Panjo, a travelling business where he sells the instruments he makes out of thrifted or recycled household items.

Loudermilk made his first instrument from a pan, an item found in most everyone’s kitchen, using the circular part of the pan to create the main base of the instrument and the handle to create the neck where he placed each of the three strings.

After he was finished, he aptly named it a panjo, a play on the word banjo also inspired by canjos, instruments made from soda or oil cans.

He said the first few instruments he made didn’t quite sound how he wanted them to, but eventually, he got the hang of crafting the panjos. Now, he’s been making them for 10 years, and has

no plans to stop anytime soon.

“I’ve made probably thousands of them by now, and when I make it, still, I get that feeling of, ‘Wow,’” Loudermilk said. “It makes me feel like if I was on a deserted island somewhere that somehow, no matter what the circumstance, I could make something to play music.”

Although he began making panjos about 10 years ago, Loudermilk said Coal Mountain Panjo came later. He actually started to make the instrument for students during a vacation Bible school.

He was helping with the class and thought it would be fun for the students to learn an instrument and a song to perform for their parents after class. So he made each student their own panjo to play and take home.

From there, the idea of the panjo started to snowball.

Loudermilk said he started getting calls from other churches to Continued on Page 14 February 2022 | 400 LIFE | 13

help them make their own panjos for students, and the instrument’s popularity continued to grow.

This led Loudermilk to visit music and craft shows in the area where he could sell the instrument and show people how to play. He fell in love with the experience.

He said he loves seeing kids stop by and pick up a panjo and learn to play music. He said they are always so excited to create a tune and learn something new.

“Especially when I play their first song with them, they’re just hooked,” he said.

He also shows their parents the different panjos he’s made and shows them how to play their own song.

Being a three-string instrument, Loudermilk said anyone can pick up the panjo and play it. For him, it makes it more than just an instrument — it’s an experience to share with family and friends.

“If they were just for looks, I don’t think they would do quite as well,” Loudermilk said. “But when someone gets one, they’re thinking, ‘I want to play it.’ They’re buying more than a panjo, they’re buying it thinking they’ll be a musician.”

When not making panjos, Loudermilk gives 14 | 400 LIFE | February 2022

Loudermilk tunes one of the panjos, something he does for each customer before they take the instrument home.

guitar and banjo lessons to students.

He has been teaching music for nearly 30 years, but as Coal Mountain Panjo grows more popular, he has started spending about half of his time at shows and festivals throughout Georgia.

While he loves teaching, he said he has a passion not only for going to the shows, but for creating the panjos.

Most of the panjos he sells are made from pans, license plates and cigar boxes, but in his spare time, he makes the instruments out of all sorts of thrifted and recycled items.

“I like to go into thrift shops and flea markets,” Loudermilk said. “When I turn, I see different things and think ... that seems like something I could make an instrument out of.”

He enjoys pouring his creativity and time into making instruments out of these random items that look beautiful while still being able to create music. This is what he said makes panjos truly special. It’s an art and a pastime.

“Music itself is so powerful,” Loudermilk said. “When I’m playing a song, I’m really not worried about

anything else. I’m that song as I play it. That’s what I’m thinking about.

“Music gives you kind of an outlet or escape. If you ever notice a bunch of guys playing music or a band playing, they’re not worried about anything else at that moment. It’s about the music right then.”

He said it’s even more rewarding to see what people can be inspired to create or play after they buy a panjo.

Some go on to create their own instruments or write their own songs to play.

He especially loves seeing kids dedicate themselves to learning more about it and becoming musicians themselves, believing everyone needs some sort of creative outlet.

“It’s amazing what people can do,” Loudermilk said.

A Valentine’s Day dessert whipped up in an unusual way Decadent treats and Valentine’s Day go hand in hand.

Couples typically exchange gifts on Valentine’s Day, and those gifts are often accompanied by something sweet.

A survey from Statista found that 44 percent of respondents intended to purchase candy and sweets for their significant other on Valentine’s Day. That made candy and sweets the most popular Valentine’s Day gift by a considerable margin, well above the likes of other February 14 favorites like greeting cards (33 percent) and flowers (32 percent).

Romantic dinners still have a place at the Valentine’s Day table, as the Statista survey found that 29 percent of respondents intended to sit down for a romantic meal as part of their celebration. Homemade desserts can be a great way to show that special someone just how much they’re loved. If cooks want to employ the element of surprise, then this recipe for “Ginger Cake” from Will Budiaman’s “The Essential Kamado Grill Cookbook” won’t disappoint. Firing up the grill is sure to pique a loved one’s interest, and the slightly spicy finished product marks a departure from more traditional desserts.

GINGER CAKE 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cubed, plus more for the pan, at room temperature 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 4 teaspoons ground ginger 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 2/3 cups packed light brown sugar 4 large eggs 1/2 cup whole milk (Serves 8) 1. Bring the grill to 350 degrees with the cooking grate and heat deflector installed. Butter the bottom and sides of a 10-inch cast iron skillet.

2. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, ginger, and salt.

3. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar on medium speed for 3 minutes.

4. Reduce the speed to medium-low and add the eggs one at a time. Mix for 1 to 2 minutes or until light tan color.

5. With the machine running, add the milk.

6. Add the flour mixture, scraping down the side of the bowl as needed, until fully incorporated. Transfer to the skillet.

7. Put the skillet on the grate. Close the lid and cook for 1 hour or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Put on a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Cooking tip: Cutting butter into small cubes and arranging them in a single layer will help them soften more quickly.

Self-care can go a long way

By Sudie Crouch | Health & wellness columnist

During the month of December, I always take a week off to celebrate my birthday. A bit silly and indulgent, I know, but it helps me have time to reflect and look ahead at how I want my next year to go. It’s the one rare time each year that I will take a chunk of work off, because in my mind, I think work may not be able to go on without me.

And what usually happens during that one week off?

I get sick or something happens that causes me to not be able to do the things I had planned.

Why is that? Because the other 51 weeks out of the year, I have not given myself the proper self-care and when I do have the time off, it’s like everything crashes.

Kind of like you have to take your car in for scheduled maintenance, you have to give yourself self-care in order to feel and be your best. The only difference is, you need to do it more regularly than every several thousand miles.

18 | 400 LIFE | February 2022

What is self-care exactly?

Just as there are different dimensions of wellness, there’s different types of appropriate self-care to meet each one. While there’s differing theories pertaining to what all is covered in the wellness wheel, the most accepted dimensions often include: emotional, physical, spiritual, professional, and environmental.

Practicing self-care in any of those areas can mean that we are taking proactive steps to make sure we’re healthy, happy, and whole.

Self-care can look like: Emotional: Paying attention to our feelings; talking to someone when we need it; journaling our thoughts; expressing our emotions and feelings honestly in healthy ways Physical: Getting exercise or moving our bodies; eating healthy foods/beverages; taking care of ourselves when we’re sick Spiritual: Anything that helps us feel connected with our beliefs. This can be prayer, meditating, being in nature, attending a service, or speaking with others who hold the same spiritual values/beliefs (fellowship) Professional: Keeping good work/life boundaries; taking sick days when sick, and vacation days to help prevent burnout Environmental: Decluttering our space can be one major form of self-care in this area, as can making sure noise and other distractions are kept to a minimum.

Even though there’s numerous benefits to taking these steps and practicing self-care, we still may find ourselves struggling to do those things that would help us the most.

Somehow we’ve gotten the notion that self-care is selfish; it’s not.

If anything, self-care is critical to our overall wellbeing. It keeps us from feeling burnt out, exhausted, and neglected.

Giving ourselves a few moments of care is something we often overlook. We get busy taking care of others. We’re busy with work.

We’re taking kids back and forth to school and different events. We feel like we don’t have the time to do something for ourselves, but we should make self-care a priority.

Practicing some self-care can help us refill our own cup so we can continue to show up for ourselves and others. Plus, a lot of self-care steps can be easily added into our everyday routine.

Some other ideas for self-care can include: • Taking a hot bath/shower: Water has a way of helping us soothe and relax; you can also add some Epsom salts to help make it more soothing; • Enjoying a favorite cup of hot tea or cocoa (or iced tea/lemonade in the warmer months); • Journaling your thoughts to help process them; • Watching a movie that you know will make you laugh; • Going for a walk: Getting outside in nature can help you in

so many ways, by giving your fresh air, helping you clear your head, and getting in some movement; • Reading: this can be your favorite genre (mystery, fiction, biography, etc.) or, it can be something inspirational or spiritual.

As those examples show, self-care doesn’t have to be big, expensive steps. Rather, self-care can be those small things we do to give ourselves that kindness that we deserve.

Honoring yourself by practicing a bit of self-care is one of the kindest, nicest things you can do for yourself. And you absolutely deserve it.

6 day hikes in North Georgia to enjoy with your Valentine Story by Alexander Popp | alex@worldsbestadventures.com

This article comes to us from our sister company World’s Best Adventures. World’s Best Adventures provides guided luxury backpacking adventures in Georgia, North Carolina, and the Great Smoky Mountains.

It seems like we’ve been doing the same old Valentine’s Day traditions for an eternity. Roses, candle lit dinner, maybe a movie and late-night champagne.

Maybe it’s time to shake things up, and what better way, than an energetic day out in nature, scaling mountains, seeing beautiful vistas and waterfalls, and maybe enjoying a cold one after a picnic lunch with your special someone?

For your Valentine’s Day 2022, we have 6 awesome day hikes in North Georgia that suit any couple, no matter their age or skill level.

Mileage: 1 mile (via the Brasstown Bald Trail) 6.2 miles (via the Jacks Gap Trail)

Brasstown Bald

Tallulah Gorge

I always put Brasstown Bald at the top of any list I write, because for one, it’s the tallest mountain in Georgia and nearly always offers a stunning 360-degree view from its peak observation deck.

But I also like to recommend it, because the trails surrounding Georgia’s highest point have something to offer for virtually anyone. If you’re looking for a short hike with a great view, park at the Brasstown Bald Visitor Center and hike the .5 mile out and back trail to the top. If a challenge with a big payoff is more your speed, start at the Jacks Knob Trail parking area and take the 6.2 mile out and back trail to the peak.

Difficulty: Easy-difficult

Possibly one of the most beautiful locations in Georgia, Tallulah Gorge State Park in far Northwest Georgia is truly a sight to behold. Surrounded by hiking trails, campsites and views overlooking the gorge, this destination should definitely be on your short list of places to take your valentine in 2022. Check out the Tallulah Gorge North and South Loop Trails, which will take you 2 miles past multiple views overlooking the gorge and Hurricane Falls.

Difficulty: Easy Mileage: 1- to 5-plus miles

Mount Yonah

Cloudland Canyon

Yonah Mountain is a day hike that will rival anything else in Georgia. With just over 1,500 feet of elevation gain in 2.4 miles, this out and back trail will leave your legs burning and your lungs searching for air. The first 2.4 miles are up, up, and up the side of Yonah Mountain, and the last 2.4 are right back down. This is a popular hike and is used to train U.S Army Rangers. The view at the top will leave you breathless and it is worth the climb.

Difficulty: Moderate Mileage: 4.8 miles

Like Brasstown Bald, Cloudland Canyon State Park is a great option no matter who you are, because it has trails and sights for just about anyone. If you’re looking for a challenging climb down into the canyon with waterfalls take the 5 mile out and back Sitton’s Gulch Trail. But if something more lowkey is more your style, check out the 4-mile West Rim Loop Trail.

Difficulty: Easy-difficult Mileage: 1- to 10-plus miles

Blood Mountain

Chicopee Woods Nature Preserve

Topping out at 4,458 feet in elevation, Blood Mountain is the highest peak on the Appalachian Trail in Georgia, and your legs will feel every foot of it. The views are spectacular at the top and rival those seen in the Rocky Mountains. Be sure to plan on having lunch at the top to soak in the entire experience. Blood Mountain Day hike is an out and back starting at the Byron Reece parking lot and going to the summit. The total trip out and back is approximately 5 miles.

Difficulty: Hard Mileage: 5 miles

Hidden in the growing North Georgia city of Gainesville is a system of trails that will take you away from the traffic and city noise for a few hours or a whole day. Chicopee Woods Park contains miles and miles of hiking and walking trails that take you through the forest, around a picturesque pond, and along babbling streams. Numerous great spots for a picnic littler this spacious park.

Difficulty: Easy Mileage: 1- to 8-plus miles

WHEN SHOULD I CALL A LAWYER? Many people question whether they need a lawyer when they get injured in an accident. The answer is yes, they do.

Here a few of the many reasons why you should strongly consider involving an attorney in the process: Understanding what insurance coverages an at-fault party has can make a difference in the amount of money an injured person can get.

A good example of insurance coverage that many people don’t think about is medical payment coverage, also known as “MedPay.” Medical payments are often available to an injured party without regard to who is at fault, when a person is injured in another’s home. Like homeowner’s policies, some businesses may provide no-fault medical coverage for persons injured on their premises.

Aside from the question of what coverages are disclosed, there is also the question of how insurance adjusters can take advantage of unrepresented individuals by trying to get them to settle their cases

quickly, or making low ball offers when people just want to get it over quickly. However, there are more pressing legal issues involved in resolving a claim.

A signed release binds an injured party to terms and conditions which may later cause Steven Leibel them problems. I have seen where those who settle their claims still owe money to doctors and health care providers, after believing that the entire case has been resolved, because they settled too quickly, or didn’t know about those claims.

Employer-sponsored health care plans can make claims against settlement funds even after a claim has been resolved.

Medicare health plans have rights to part

of the settlement proceeds when an injured person uses Medicare to pay for medical bills resulting from an accident.

The job of a personal injury lawyer is to make certain that the minefields associated with settlements are avoided. Protection of a client is a duty a lawyer owes to the people they represent.

Insurance adjusters have no duty to people who are injured because of the negligence of individuals that they insure.
