Hello friends,
Happy New Year!
It's time to go outside and play. Or stay inside and read. Or go to the gym to sweat. Or meet up with friends to gossip.
Whatever your route to wellness is, we applaud your efforts.
Personally, I bundle up and head outdoors. When my sister Julie was visiting recently, we hopped on a local trail, me on a bike, and Julie on foot. She's a running machine. I tried to keep up. We hiked up Stone Mountain (always a bun burner) and strolled through neighborhoods.
The blue sky and crisp air are nectar for me.
What feeds you?
We hope this issue inspires you to consider your health and wellness journey for the year—or just for today!
Whether you're taking baby steps toward a healthier lifestyle, or dashing forward with a new resolution, stay invested in your wellness. You got this!
All my best,

PARKS & Rec Forever
Enhancing Community Life Through Nature, Recreation, and Art
ARTICLE BY EDIE DAMANN
The City of Johns Creek is home to a vibrant and growing Recreation & Parks Department dedicated to providing exceptional spaces and programs for residents of all ages and backgrounds. Managing over 400 acres of parkland and nature reserves, the department offers a wide range of recreational activities, sports, and events designed to engage the community year-round.
Under the leadership of Director Erica Madsen and her dedicated team, the city’s award-winning parks system has flourished. They oversee nine unique parks and an extensive calendar of events that collectively attract more than 200,000 guests annually. These events include free cultural arts, movies, concerts, and family-friendly activities— ensuring there is always something for everyone. Popular events like the International Festival and Breakfast with Santa have become local favorites, drawing local families and visitors from across the region.
A major part of the city’s commitment to enhancing recreational spaces is the ongoing transformation of its Town Center. Construction began in August 2024 on Creekside Park, which will feature a blend of active and passive park amenities. This new park will serve as a central hub for both recreation and relaxation. The project includes a pedestrian tunnel providing a safe and accessible connection under Medlock Bridge Road (SR 141), linking residents directly to the bustling Town Center area and the new Creekside Park. The project is expected to be finished by fall 2025.
As you explore the city’s many parks, walking trails, and public spaces, you will discover a growing array of public art displays that enhance the aesthetic and cultural experience of the community. These public art pieces include sculptures, murals, architectural elements, and other forms of creative expression that reflect both the history and the dynamic spirit of Johns Creek. Public art in the city is a collaborative effort involving the City of Johns Creek, local businesses, individual donors, community organizations.
One of the most recent additions to the city’s public art collection is the striking sculpture “Playful Passages,” located at Morton Road Park (4860 Morton Road). Created by artist Julia Hill, this piece features salvaged iron from the historic Rogers Bridge, which once spanned the Chattahoochee River. The bridge, an iconic landmark in the region, was decommissioned and dismantled, but Hill’s artwork breathes new life into the original iron.
“Everyone Has A Seat In Johns Creek” is painted by street artist Kelsey Montague, whose iconic interactive murals span the globe. The mural is on the south wall of the concession stand in Newtown Park. The piece is customized for Johns Creek, featuring six chairs with elements to represent the city and celebrate its diversity and promote inclusiveness.
As Johns Creek continues to grow and thrive, it remains a place where art, nature, and community come together in perfect harmony.

1. STAY AHEAD OF THE GAME
“Don’t wait until something hurts to see your dentist,” says Dr. Vargas. Routine cleanings and check-ups can stop problems—like cavities and gum disease— before they start. Think of it as a tune-up for your teeth!
2. WATCH WHAT YOU SIP
Love coffee, sparkling water, or orange juice? “Acidic drinks are tough on enamel,” warns Dr. Vargas. A quick rinse with water afterward can help protect your teeth without giving up your favorites.
3. BE KIND TO YOUR GUMS
Healthy gums = a healthy smile. Brush gently along the gumline and floss daily to keep inflammation at bay. If you notice
redness or bleeding, it’s time to check in with your dentist.
4. TRY THE LATEST TECH
“Smart toothbrushes and water flossers make keeping your teeth clean so much easier,” says Dr. Vargas. They’re especially handy if you have braces, implants, or hard-to-reach spots.
5. EAT FOR YOUR TEETH
Your diet can make or break your smile. Foods like cheese, leafy greens, and almonds help strengthen teeth, while green tea and crunchy fruits like apples keep bacteria under control.
“A quick rinse with water afterward can help protect your teeth without giving up your favorites.”

In today’s digital age, staying connected through social media, emails, and apps has become second nature. But with constant notifications and the pressure to stay active, it’s easy to feel mentally drained. Achieving digital wellness means using technology in a way that supports your well-being instead of overwhelming it.
Here are some ways to stay connected while maintaining a healthy balance.
CURATE YOUR FEED FOR WELL-BEING
Protect your mental health by being intentional about the content you consume. Follow accounts that inspire,
educate, or bring joy, and unfollow those that cause stress or comparison. Curating a positive, uplifting feed helps create a healthier, more enriching online experience.
CREATE BOUNDARIES AROUND SCREEN TIME
Set clear boundaries for when you check social media, emails, or apps. Designate specific times, like after breakfast or in the evening, to check in. Tools like “Screen Time” on iPhones or “Digital Wellbeing” on Android can help you track usage and set app limits. By disconnecting at regular intervals, you can make space for more meaningful offline moments.
PROTECT YOUR ONLINE ACCOUNTS
For peace of mind, ensure your online accounts are secure. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) and regularly update your passwords. Knowing your personal information is safe gives you one less thing to worry about, allowing you to enjoy social media with greater confidence.
STREAMLINE YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA
Save time by scheduling posts in advance using tools like Buffer, Hootsuite, or Later. These platforms allow you to upload and schedule content across multiple sites, so you stay active without constantly logging in. Scheduling posts reduces the pressure of keeping up with notifications and lets you focus on other priorities. Consider automating engagement or using content batching to simplify your routine.
Most teens and many preteens use some form of social media and have a profile on a social networking site. Many visit these sites every day.
There are plenty of good things about social media — but also many risks and things kids and teens should avoid. They don’t always make good choices when they post something to a site, and this can lead to problems.
To help them find the balance, it’s important to talk with your kids about how to use social media wisely.
By adopting these digital wellness habits, you can stay connected while protecting your mental and emotional health, finding the right balance between the digital and offline worlds.
How to Stay Connected Without Losing Balance
Banish the Bump
A LIFESTYLE GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING, TREATING, AND PREVENTING STYES
ARTICLE BY DR. JULIA KANG
Picture this: you wake up one morning, look in the mirror, and notice a small bump on your eyelid. What’s going on and where did this come from? Meet the “stye” – an uninvited guest that’s more common than you think. While not harmful, it’s definitely not glamorous. Here’s everything you need to know about what a stye is, how to treat it, and most importantly, how to keep it from crashing your party.
WHAT IS A STYE?
A stye is a more generalized way to describe a bump or pimple on the eyelid, but there are technically two similar but distinct conditions: hordeola and chalazia. A hordeolum is acute inflammation of the eyelash follicle or oil gland and can cause the entire eyelid to become painful, swollen and red. A chalazion is a small, benign lump that forms on your eyelid when one of the tiny oil glands (called meibomian glands) gets blocked. These glands, located near the base of your eyelashes, produce an oily substance that helps keep your eyes lubricated. When one becomes clogged, the trapped oil can harden, forming a painless lump.
WHY DO STYES HAPPEN?
The main culprit is often a buildup of oil, dirt, bacteria, or mites. Some common triggers include:
• Poor eyelid hygiene: Failing to clean your eyelids regularly can lead to clogged oil glands.
• False lashes and heavy eye make-up: Can trap dirt, oil and bacteria in the base of the lashes
• Skin conditions: Issues like rosacea or seborrheic dermatitis make some people more prone to developing styes
• Chronic eyelid inflammation: Blepharitis, a condition causing inflammation of the eyelid margins, can increase the risk.
• Demodex: Mites that naturally live in the eyelash follicles (everyone has them!) can overgrow and cause inflammation to the eyelids
• Frequent eye touching or rubbing: This habit transfers dirt and bacteria directly from your fingers to your eyelids.
• Stress and fatigue: Believe it or not, lack of sleep and high stress can exacerbate skin and gland issues.
HOW TO TREAT A STYE
The good news? Most styes clear up on their own with a little TLC. Here’s how you can speed up the process:
1. Warm Compresses: Place uncooked rice in a sock or get an eye mask (the kind that can be heated), place in the microwave for 20 seconds and apply to the affected eyelid for 10-15 minutes, 3-4 times a day. This helps to soften the oil blockage and encourage drainage. Avoid damp washcloths, as they lose heat too quickly to be effective.
2. Gentle Massage: After using a warm compress, lightly massage the eyelid with clean fingers to promote oil flow. Be careful not to press too hard.
3. Keep It Clean: Wash your eyelid daily with a mild, hypoallergenic cleanser. There are many lid wipes and sprays (found in the eye drop section) formulated to help gently clean debris on the eyelids.
4. Avoid Makeup, False lashes and Contacts: Give your eyes a break to reduce irritation and prevent further blockages.
5. Seek Medical Help If Needed: If the chalazion doesn’t improve after a few weeks or if it begins to hurt, swell, or impair vision, consult an ophthalmologist. They may recommend a steroid injection, antibiotics or minor surgical removal. Some skin cancers on the eyelid can also mimic a stye, so it is important to seek an oculoplastic surgeon for appropriate diagnosis and management if it does not resolve.
PREVENTING STYES: YOUR DAILY CHECKLIST
Prevention is the best cure, and keeping your eyelids healthy isn’t as hard as it sounds. Incorporate these habits into your daily routine:
Practice Good Eyelid Hygiene: Use a gentle cleanser to thoroughly remove makeup, sweat and other debris before bed, paying special attention to the lash line.
Avoid Touching Your Eyes: Make sure your hands are always clean before touching your eyelids, especially in the context of hot and humid environments, working out at the gym, during allergy season, etc.
Avoid False Lashes: If you aren’t ready to give them up, try to limit to special occasions or give your eyes a break. Wearing false lashes continuously can cause trauma leading to lash loss, irritation or contact dermatitis from the glue, and build-up of oil and bacteria causing a stye.
Mindful with Makeup: Throw out old products and avoid putting eyeliner directly on the waterline
THE BOTTOM LINE
Styes are a reminder that even the smallest parts of our bodies need care and attention. With the right habits and a little mindfulness, you can keep these pesky bumps at bay and keep your eyes looking their brightest. After all, a healthy lifestyle isn’t just about feeling good – it’s about looking good, too!
