AHHHH, SUMMER. Time for backyard pool parties and family vacations. Time for kids to run after the ice cream truck when the telltale sound of its music turns onto your street to secure the perfect sweet treat to beat the heat. For the loud explosion of fireworks on the Fourth of July, the shriveled fingertips that signify too much time in the pool, and the soothing feeling of aloe vera on that patch of skin that always seems to turn red, no matter how much sunscreen you slather on.

If you’re looking for ways to fill your long summer days, we at Green Hills Lifestyle have some suggestions! We’ve got activities to keep you, your kids and even your pets occupied. Check out our list of the best patios, rooftops, beer gardens and other outdoor spaces to hit up when the kids head off to camp.

If you’re looking to stick closer to home, we show you some great outdoor spaces in which to entertain. Maybe you’ll pick up a few ideas to spruce up your own

outdoor living area. We also show you some easy treats, yard games and summer cocktails you can enjoy in your revamped space. Invite your friends and family and throw a backyard soiree!

The mercury is rising, and the days are stretching longer and longer. No matter how you spend them, enjoy these dog days of summer, Green Hills — and try to stay cool.

“ The Belle”

HELP CLEANSE YOUR BODY WHILE ENJOYING COCKTAILS RESET AND GO HEALTHIER WITH FIX JUICE CO.

Green Hills Lifestyle | July 2018

BEVERAGES PACKED WITH NATURAL VITAMINS FUEL THE WHOLE BODY. Some people "detox" through juice-cleansing regimens. Others even infuse their alcoholic cocktails with juices designed to increase collagen production and fight aging.

Enter the product line of handcrafted, cold-pressed, organic juices and whole-food smoothies from Fix Juice Co. Local Fix Juice owner Kara Sharp says their small batches of nutrient-dense, immune-boosting beverages are excellent compliments to cocktails.

"Our juices serve as really great mixers without the host of unhealthy ingredients like refined sugar," she adds.

The grab-and-go, handcrafted version of the Belle cleansing drink, as made fresh at Fix Juice Co., blends portions of apple, pineapple, carrot, lemon, mint, ginger and cardamom.

Kara says high-fiber root vegetables and fruit are great for digestive tracts, while ginger calms stomachs.

"To give your body a break, a juice cleanse is a great way to reset and improve your eating habits."

She says Fix customers indicate the store's beverages help them feel more mentally alert, lighter on their feet and re-energized.

To make new summer cocktails with healthy kicks, mix cleansing drinks with preferred wines, rums or tequila.

Kara says Belle goes with Codigo Tequila and a splash of a drier prosecco, garnished with fresh mint.

"It's clean, simple and incredibly refreshing."

TIP: If making juice at home, it's best to extract nutrients by using either a cold-pressed machine or citrus press. Nutrient content and ingredient shelf life can be compromised when using chopping-type juicers.

RENOVATE & REFINE

What's In Your Mudroom And Garage?

IT’S TIME TO DECLUTTER! ARTICLE JULIE BROWN PATTON | PHOTOGRAPHY HANY RAMZY

FOR SOME, THE HOT SUMMER MONTHS SEEM TO DRAG ON. With plenty of time to start a project, many people choose to reorganize items accumulating at their homes.

Kylee Clement, design and sales manager of California Closets of Tennessee, says she and the company's team of consultants believe exceptional design can transform people’s lives.

Green Hills Lifestyle asked Kylee how to initiate organizational approaches to living areas closely linked to summer-oriented, outdoor activities. Here are a few tips on getting your space in tip-top shape.

1

ESTABLISHING A FUNCTIONAL MUDROOM Establishing a Functional Mudroom When approaching mudrooms, Kylee encourages everyone to consider items that always end up on the floor by the door or land on the kitchen counter. She says mudroom organization can be locker-style for each family member or a general storage area.

Hooks are great for items needed for everyday quick access, such as keys, dog leashes, backpacks, purses, caps or hats.

Drawers and baskets are great ways to store umbrellas, sunglasses, gloves, scarves, restaurant coupons and takeout menus.

In the Nashville area, Kylee says the trend is to use darker and two-tone options for mudrooms and to hide as much as possible behind doors or in drawers.

Incorporating metals in garages and mudrooms, such as pronounced aluminum handles, plays off metals of vehicles and shiny, outdoor equipment.

Organizing Your Garage

ORGANIZING YOUR GARAGE

People often need garage zones for tools, sports equipment, kids' toys, auto supplies, holiday decor and gardening supplies, Kylee says.

"Garages are great places to use empty walls, have a workstation and to set up individual space for items used outside or on-the-go," she adds.

Kylee says California Closets consultants inventory items already at homes and create customized storage spaces.

For garages, she recommends baskets to store balls and bigger toys. Deep shelves are fantastic for larger items that don’t fold or are too awkward to store inside. Kylee says the company provides an aluminum fusion track wall that allows several hook types to move as needed. The track wall holds bikes, garden hoses, yard tools and more. Shelving also can be mounted to the hooks. For more information, visit CaliforniaClosets.com.

THE BLACK ABBEY B R E W I N G C O M PA N Y Carl Meier, president and co-founder of The Black Abbey Brewing Company, was inspired by the travails of Martin Luther and his defrocked-nun wife, Katharina von Bora, who allegedly prepared “the best beer in Wittenberg." Staying true to 600 years of brewing tradition, some of the area's most creative ales are brewed at Black Abbey.

The tap room, known as Fellowship Hall, is open every afternoon for customers to try the Belgian-inspired beers. Choose from year-round taps like The Rose or The Champion, or opt for seasonal and limited edition brews like Saint Martin, Crossroads Summer Ale or Friar Hal 75. Tours are every Saturday from 1-4 p.m. for $10 and include a souvenir pint glass and a 16-ounce beer.

THE BLUEBIRD CAFE Green Hills is home to The Bluebird Cafe where guests experience "in-the-round" shows in an intimate setting. The cafe has a national reputation as THE place to be heard in Nashville if you’re a songwriter. Indeed, this is where Garth Brooks and Taylor Swift scored record deals, and where Dierks Bentley and Keith Urban played open-mic nights before they were famous.

Even The Bluebird Cafe bartenders and staff have been known to pull up chairs and perform.

For early shows, the church pew area (about 10 to 12 seats) is available for first-come, first-served seating when doors open. For the late shows, almost every seat is reserved in advance. A full bar, along with appetizers, hot or cold sandwiches and salads, are available until 10 p.m.

More than 70,000 people visit this legendary club each year. Have you been lately?

'Chosen' Finds from Around the World WOMEN’S CONCEPT STORE FEATURES UNIQUE CLOTHING AND ACCESSORIES ARTICLE JULIE BROWN PATTON PHOTOGRAPHY HANY RAMZY WHEN SOFIE WHITLOCK'S GRANDFATHER TAUGHT HER MORSE CODE, SHE DIDN'T REALIZE IT WOULD INSPIRE HER TO EVENTUALLY CREATE A LINE OF FINE JEWELRY. Fast-forward to today, and Sofie now proudly offers The Robert Charles Bracelet with unique Morse code messages.

"These pieces are perfect for special occasions or big milestone events in people's lives," Sofie says.

Through her Sofie Cawood collection, she also makes jewelry that envelopes various types of emotional, manmade and nature-inspired armor. Her pieces have been hailed by industry experts as bold and funky, although she often calls them "fun and chunky."

"My designs are heavily influenced by my surroundings in East Tennessee and exposure to different cultures," she adds.

After being named one of the top 10 new jewelry designers in the world in 2015, Sofie contemplated how she could help women create their own distinctive looks. That's when Sofie opened a women's concept store this winter called Chosen.

The store carries items from designers such as Figue, Ziran, Bliss and Mischief, Tortoise, Mara & Mine, Minxx, Castro NYC, Lauren Chisholm and Freestone Peach.

"I'm especially enthused about our Ziran products, which are made from wrinkle-resistant silk fabrics through a 500-year-old method in China," Sofie says.

For her own jewelry line, her plan is to continue producing meticulous, American-made, wearable art.

"Customers say they love the brands and product mix we're offering, and that they're unique to Nashville," says Sofie.

Once you’ve bowled a 300 or screamed “Yahtzee!” from the rooftops, help your guests cool off—both from the heat and some intense competition. Lemonade, the resident summer drink cooler, is even better in frozen form. Try this tart, creamy concoction combined with Jell-O—the food that makes anything a little bit more fun—and hit it out of the park with these after-party treats.

Prepare the Jell-O as directed on the box. Pour into dishes so about 1 inch thick and refrigerate until set.

2. Blend water, lemonade mix, Cool Whip and lemon zest until smooth.

3. When Jell-O is set, remove from dishes and slice into small cubes (they’ll need to fit in the popsicle molds).

4. Fill the popsicle molds about halfway with Jell-O cubes, then fill the remaining space with the blended lemonade mixture.

5. Add popsicle sticks if needed and freeze overnight.

He says in addition to regaining better eyesight, there are a handful of other reasons to receive cataract surgery sooner rather than later: Another year means another deductible, so it's helpful to avoid the "annual race" to Jan. 1.

Cataract surgery is still a "covered procedure."

Dr. Loden

There's never been a better time for cataract surgery due to lens options.

Lasers are available to improve outcomes.

Surgeons' schedules are limited in November and December.

I like to make dentistry fun. I go out of my way to provide dental treatment to children in a friendly, non-threatening environment so they look forward to their visits. My practice philosophy is to treat each child like they are my own. Parents choose GHPD because they enjoy being treated like family.
