Bailey Morris | bailey.morris@citylifestyle.com

March is our Home and Design issue. Creating a home that you want to spend all of your time in isn’t easy. The memories made within the walls of our home are what last, regardless of if our home has the latest trends or if it hasn’t been updated in years. While it is fun to look at beautiful homes and dream about renovations, we all know that the love we share within our homes is truly what matters most. In our Home issue, we are highlighting a few local businesses that can help with keeping our homes beautiful and welcoming. Nathan Napier, owner of Napier Lawn Care, shares with us why focusing on year-round lawn care and maintenance is important. Hear what he has to say and how he can help you in our article, Year-Round Lawn Care. The Merry Maids of Augusta are here to help! Kim Brown, owner of Merry Maids Augusta, shares three key secrets to keep a sparkling home! Are you hosting any spring parties? Lauren Lane Culinarian has prepared some delicious recipes for you to make for your guests this spring! From our home to yours, we wish you love, peace and happiness.

Girl Scouts Receive Certificates

Hankal Events Purchases Wedding Venue

Representative Lott from Evans presented the Girl Scouts certificates of congratulations at the capitol.

Congratulations to Lisa Hankal, owner of Hankal Events, on her recent purchase of The Pine House! The Pine House is a historic plantation home that was built in the 1840s. The property is surrounded by peach and magnolia trees. Keep up with new renovations and historical facts on Instagram at @thepinehouse. trentonsc. We can’t wait to see the many beautiful weddings that will be there!

Lock What You Leave Bobby Christine, Columbia County District Attorney, invites citizens to follow this simple motto: lock what you leave. “Over ninety-four percent of illegal entries to vehicles are made to vehicles left unlocked,” explains Bobby. “We know criminals go to neighborhoods and parking lots and only enter cars which are unlocked. If it's locked, they move on. The easiest way for you to back the blue and cut down on the number of crimes is to simply lock what you leave.”

YEAR-ROUND LAWN CARE KEEPING OUTDOOR SPACES CLEAN AND NEAT DURING EVERY SEASON In 2019, Nathan Napier stepped away from his full-time job as a teacher and opened Napier Lawn Care, a company that focuses on year-round lawn care and maintenance. It’s a perfect fit for him and his family. “I like labor and I love being outside, which is so different than the classroom. For lawn care, you get up and you go and do the work,” says Nathan. “It’s that simple and I really enjoy it.” Napier Lawn Care provides all the traditional lawn care services most people

C UR B A P P E A L | HOM E SERVI CE S

automatically think of including grass mowing, edging, trimming, and other services that take place during the warmer seasons. Nathan’s goal, however, is help home and small business owners focus on year-round lawn care to keep outside spaces looking great during every season. “We take pride in our ability to create, transform, and masterfully enhance your outdoor atmosphere with custom lawn care services,” says Nathan, “and we do that all year round.”


ARTICLE BY MICHELLE W. PARNELL

PHOTOGRAPHY BY LAUREN FINNEGAN

Nathan explains that there are tasks to be done in late winter and early spring to prepare for the warmer months. “In terms of hedgerows and non-flowering plants, it’s time to prepare for the growing season so that the property stays up to speed and the growth doesn’t get so long that we can’t catch up later in the year,” says Nathan. “A lot of times, it buys the client time and keeps the area clean so they can concentrate on flowers and things in their outdoor space that they want to pay more attention to.” During cooler seasons, Nathan also focuses on other types of lawn care including removal of leaves, heavy pruning, refreshing of pine straw and mulch, and other upkeep tasks to keep everything neat and clean. However, Nathan recognizes that not every client needs the same services. “I

do a service agreement system,” explains Nathan, “and clients can select their annual schedule that best suits them because there are different property types in our area and different needs.” The service agreements work two ways; Nathan knows and understands the needs of the client and the client gets affirmation that Nathan and his team are committed to working with them throughout the year. “I’m a husband and a father, and I’m not going anywhere,” says Nathan. “I’m committed to routine care as close to year-round as possible.” For more information on Napier Lawn Care, the services offered, or to set up a lawn care schedule, visit napierlawncare.com or contact Nathan directly by calling or texting 706-284-8996.

Kim Brown, owner of Merry Maids Augusta, shares pro tips to help you maximize the impact of Spring Cleaning your home.

TIP #1 FRESHEN UP THE KITCHEN A fresh, clean kitchen impacts the entire home. To freshen up the sink, Kim says, “Run hot water while pouring in equal parts of baking soda and white vinegar through the disposal. Follow with a few drops of blue Dawn Dishwashing soap to cut away any grease buildup. Sharpen the disposal blades by running cooler water and ice through it. For a fresh smell, grind a few slices of lemon, lime or orange, removing any seeds first.” To clean everything else in the kitchen, including counters and stainless-steel appliances, use a microfiber cloth and a solution of 2-3 drops of Dawn mixed with water.

TIP #2 SPRUCE UP THE LIVING ROOM The living room also deserves special attention. Kim says, “Start by pulling furniture away from the walls, vacuuming and dusting behind it. Make sure you dust air vents as well. Then, pull all of the furniture cushions off to vacuum underneath and in crevices. It’s always good to rotate and fluff cushions too.” To banish dust from your furniture, Kim suggests using a good microfiber cloth that is slightly damp instead of furniture polish, which can leave a build-up on furniture that actually attracts dust.

TIP #3 BRIGHTEN UP WINDOWS Brighten up your whole home by intentionally focusing on the windows. “Homeowners often forget about the inside of the window,” says Kim. “They dust the blinds or the shutters, but when the blinds are pulled up, the windows often have dust or a film on them.” Kim suggests cleaning the inside of the windows on a cloudy day to reduce streaks. “A good glass cleaner with a microfiber cloth works really well. If you still have streaks, try using a little bit of rubbing alcohol.” Merry Maids of Augusta has been recognized by its parent company as one of the Top 10 franchise locations in the U.S. and would be happy to help you prep your home for Masters week or for your own enjoyment. Owner Kim Brown says, “Our service is one that people can rely on. We have a service guarantee, and we work very hard to make sure each customer is satisfied every time.”

Daphne Oz: Beautiful Evenings at Home Emmy-winning TV Host & NY Times Bestselling Author Shares her Dinner Hosting Favorites

New York Times bestselling author Daphne Oz talks about her newest book, “Eat Your Heart Out: All-Fun, No-Fuss Food to Celebrate Eating Clean,” which launches in April. We sat down with Daphne Oz to learn more about her journey to home entertainment.

CITY LIFESTYLE: SHARE WITH US YOUR BACKGROUND AND THE INFLUENCE IT HAD ON YOUR JOURNEY TO WHERE YOU ARE TODAY. DAPHNE OZ: I was born in Philly, raised in New Jersey, and now

my husband and our four kids and I live in Florida. I spend a few days each week working in NYC taping our new syndicated talk show, The Good Dish, covering everything delicious in daytime.

CL: WHAT ARE YOUR TIPS FOR HOSTING A MEMORABLE DINNER PARTY AT HOME? DO: When I entertain, my general approach is: Abundant

Simplicity. Appetizers are generous piles of a few different things – olives, hunks of parmesan, spiced nuts, torn bread with herby oil to dunk in, sliced Persian cucumbers with a pool of labne or Greek yogurt, olive oil, and flaky salt for dipping. I look for recipes that are simple or that I’ve made 100 times before that are always crowd pleasers and leave me plenty of time to enjoy my company. The whole point of a beautiful evening together is to make sure you, the host, are relaxed and comfortable, because your guests will take their cue from you.

PA RT Y P LA N N IN G | FOOD + BE VE RAGE


CL: WHAT INSPIRED YOUR NEWEST COOKBOOK AND WHAT CAN WE GET EXCITED ABOUT? DO: In “Eat Your Heart Out: All-Fun, No-Fuss

Food To Celebrate Eating Clean” I share the techniques I’ve used to get my mind, energy and body back on track after each pregnancy or anytime I’ve needed to reboot good habits. It is a collection of 150 recipes free from gluten and refined sugar that have consistently helped me lose weight without ever disappointing my demanding tastebuds—or making healthy eating feel like a job I don’t need or want.
