Hello friends,
When my mom, Emily, would come to visit us in Marblehead, MA where we lived when our kids were young, she would scoop up a baby and head to the nearest rocking chair. Watching her adore my children and celebrating the new teeth and first steps with her buoyed my experience as a young mom.
Now, I get to scoop up my grandchildren and share their incredible little lives with my sweet daugh ter, Jane and her husband Joey. They live 20 minutes away. That's almost too far! June (pictured) and Teddy (now 6) are my precious petals!
This year on Mother's Day, we'll gather and I'll do as little as possible. Except play with grandchildren, fuss over my own grown kids and their partners and send up a prayer of thanks for my good fortune.
In this issue, we lift up mothers and daughters in our story on page 30 from the women at Rushing Trading Co.
The team at Sculpted Contours is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a membership plan to help you reach your goals with the support and scheduling convenience that can make or break successful results. Read their story on page 14.
You have a few days left to order flowers for your favorite moms, and the folks at Blossom & Vine have created a new Mother's Day collection for effortless giving. Preview the bouquets on page 18.
I hope you can hug or be hugged this month, while honoring the women in your lives who have cared for you, rocked you, or stood by your side when you needed it most.
Enjoy!

Schools News
Northview High School was recognized as the #1 High School in Georgia in the March 2025 edition of Money, Inc. The article highlighted Northview’s amazing community which encompasses a partnership and support from excellence in Academics, Arts and Athletics. In March, Findley Oaks Elementary School students, parents and staff came together to make 1,000 sandwiches for The Sandwich Project, a nonprofit organization that works to meet food scarcity needs in Metro Atlanta.
Music in Schools Needed
Fulton County Schools eliminated instrumental music programs in all elementary schools in 2010. In response, Maestro Wayne Baughman created the Meet the Orchestra (MTO) program. The program visited New Prospect Elementary School where 530 students don't enjoy access to instrumental music education. The program is currently funded in part by a grant from the Georgia Council for the Arts, recent budget cuts mean MTO needs support. Show yours at JohnsCreekSymphony.org.

years has emerged in the states, revolutionizing how we approach aging.
More than just a cosmetic solution, this innovation blends advanced biotechnology with years of rigorous research, offering not just the illusion of youth, but the potential to rejuvenate the body at its core. As we dive into the science and the benefits, this is more than just an advancement, it’s the future of how we age.
For this story, I had the pleasure of receiving two Rejuran treatments at Med Spa Béni in Johns Creek administered by the very experienced nurse practitioner, Reo. She thoroughly explained the treatment to me every step of the way and shared the benefits and why it is so effective with minimal downtime.
Let’s first talk about the science behind Rejuran DNA. This advanced treatment utilizes polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA to stimulate skin regeneration and collagen production, leading to improved skin
ulate the production of fibroblasts, which are cells responsible for collagen production. This enhances the skin’s natural ability to regenerate and repair itself.
And now the benefits…
The primary benefits of Rejuran include improved skin texture, elasticity, and hydration, which collectively lead to a more youthful and radiant appearance. Who wouldn’t want all of those?! And compared to traditional fillers, Rejuran focuses on natural regeneration and healing, rather than simply adding volume.
Your questions answered
CL: HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
Med Spa Béni: Typically, we recommend three sessions, four weeks apart
CL: HOW LONG DOES EACH TREATMENT TAKE?
Med Spa Béni: First, a numbing cream is applied to your face, which
takes about 20-30 minutes to activate. The entire treatment should take approximately an hour and a half from start to finish.
CL: WHY DOES THIS TREATMENT LEAVE RAISED BUMPS ON THE SKIN?
Med Spa Béni: The raised bumps that this treatment will cause are because the skin booster is injected in the superficial layer of the skin. The booster will absorb into the skin and the bumps will reduce. So it is important to make sure that this treatment is administered correctly by someone experienced, as it is important to have the raised bumps on your face when you leave the treatment. If you do not, then the treatment has not been administered correctly and you may not have the full benefits.
CL: HOW LONG WILL THESE RAISED BUMPS LAST?
Med Spa Béni: Typically, the raised bumps will diminish after 24 hours.
CL: WHAT ARE ALL THE ADDITIONAL BENEFITS OF THE REJURAN TREATMENT?
Med Spa Béni: Rejuran is an advanced collagen booster that helps heal scars on the skin. The other wonderful benefits are skin elasticity, reducing fine wrinkles, shrinking pores, helping with tone and texture and making your skin glow.

FROM COFFEE CART
TO CULINARY HAVEN
Annabel Rushing-Adams, Amber Rushing and Mattie Rushing are building a delicious family business here in Johns Creek at Rushing Trading Co.
THE INSPIRING JOURNEY OF CHILLYBEAN COFFEE CO. AND RUSHING TRADING CO.
PHOTOGRAPHY BY ALEKSANDAR KAPETT
In the heart of Norcross, Georgia, a mother-daughter duo embarked on a flavorful adventure with a humble coffee cart named “Chillybean Coffee Co.” Mattie, the daughter, began her journey as a college barista, honing her skills and passion for coffee. Her dedication led her to train in the coffee capitals of New York City
Coffee? Always. Cocktails? Beautifully.
and Italy, where she drew inspiration for a school project that would eventually become the business plan for Chillybean.
Amber, the mother, decided to close her thriving photography business to join Mattie in this new venture. Together, they brought Chillybean to life, serving their delightful brews at art festivals, weddings, music festivals, and movie sets across the Atlanta area since 2017.
In 2019, the duo took a significant step forward by opening Rushing Trading Co., Chillybean’s permanent location in Sugar Hill, Georgia. This charming spot
quickly evolved, offering not only exceptional espresso but also craft cocktails, homemade buttermilk biscuits, and a gourmet brunch menu that captivated the community.
The journey didn’t stop there. In May 2024, Rushing Trading Co. 2.0 was unveiled, with Amber stepping into the role of executive chef. She masterfully executed beloved original recipes while introducing innovative new menus and flavors, solidifying their place as a culinary destination.
Annabel Rushing-Adams, an assistant manager of RTC, sister of Mattie Rushing
and youngest daughter of Amber Rushing, shortly thereafter became an official owner of the brunch operation. Matt Rushing and Annabel’s daughter, Ellie, are now the official RTC taste-testers.
From a small coffee cart to a renowned culinary haven, Chillybean Coffee Co. and Rushing Trading Co. continue to delight and inspire with their dedication to quality and creativity. Their story is a testament to the power of passion, family, and the pursuit of excellence.
Amber Rushing encapsulates their philosophy perfectly: “Our approach is ‘Locally Sourced, Globally Inspired.’ We believe in using the finest local ingredients while drawing inspiration from culinary traditions around the world. This fusion allows us to create unique and memorable experiences for our customers.”
Amber also shares her heartfelt sentiment: “The best joy that I could ask for in my life is working with my girls.” This is the essence of their journey and the deep bond that drives their success. Family is truly the most important thing in their fruitful journey.

“My wife and I had a great experience working with Regan and her husband Cal. They were both tremendously knowledgeable in all areas of real estate and truly complemented each other. Cal was great in showing us properties. He has a strong background in home inspections and was able to tell us which properties were in good shape and which ones would need work and why (along with estimates). Regan came in to assist during negotiations and was able to help us procure a great deal. Both are excellent communicators, and we always knew where we were in the process and that they were there to assist. We had confidence the entire time in the process of their capabilities to help us navigate a very difficult real estate market and stressful time. I would absolutely recommend Regan and her husband Cal to anyone!”

THE TALENTED WOMEN WHO ENRICH JOHNS CREEK'S CULTURE.
“[Once] I played an orchestra concert that was a little different than a traditional concert. The conductor was replaced with someone who was dressed as a peanut M&M in a costume with air blowing inside. He conducted Sousa’s Stars and Stripes Forever. Because of the costume, his arms were super short. When he was waving his hands up and down conducting, I laughed so much I couldn’t play but a few notes!” Johns Creek Symphony Orchestra Clarinetist Staci Culbreth shares this funny memory from a performance.
It is no secret that Johns Creek is home to several musically endowed artists, but what you may not know is just how unique, talented, and delightfully quirky, the lady musicians here truly are.
STACI CULBRETH graduated with her Master’s degree in Music Performance from the University of Cincinnati, CollegeConservatory of Music in Cincinnati, Ohio. She has been featured as a soloist with the Macon Symphony Orchestra and the LaGrange Symphony Orchestra.
WHERE DO YOU LIKE TO GO WITH FELLOW MUSICIANS AFTER REHEARSALS TO GRAB A BITE IN JOHNS CREEK?
I usually get a bite to eat with friends at Fresh to Order. We then visit Vincent’s Bakery Cafe for tea and a pastry before our rehearsals. After the concert, we love to go eat Mexican food.
DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE INSTRUMENT TO PLAY, OR DO YOU ENJOY SWITCHING THINGS UP?
My favorite instrument to play is the clarinet. I was lucky enough to learn clarinet and piano at the same time growing up, so piano would have to be my second favorite.
Staci Culbreth Nella Rigell and her husband, Phil Colson.

During the pandemic, I decided to try learning the guitar. It didn’t go well. So, I learned the ukulele! The ukulele is a great alternative that is easy to play.
IF YOU COULD PERFORM WITH AN ARTIST, LIVING OR NOT, WHO WOULD IT BE AND WHY?
I would have loved performing with Prince or Earth, Wind, and Fire.
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUIRKY PRE-SHOW RITUALS OR LUCKY CHARMS YOU BRING TO PERFORMANCES?
I play through all the more challenging passages and solos half tempo before the concert starts, and I always like to eat half of a banana before performances.
Have you ever found yourself passing by the Johns Creek Symphony Orchestra and been captivated by the bold, distinctive sound of the oboe? If so, you may have been hearing Kim Lorch Perrins in action. She has been a member of the Johns Creek Symphony Orchestra since 2007. In addition to performing with the JCSO, she maintains an active private teaching studio, is an adjunct faculty member at Agnes Scott College, and regularly performs with ensembles throughout the region.
WHAT IS THE MOST UNUSUAL PLACE YOU’VE PRACTICED OR PERFORMED?
A group of JCSO musicians performed the theme from The Godfather at Smith’s Olde Bar in Atlanta several years ago as part of the 500 Songs for Kids fundraiser. We played in between two fantastic rock bands and had a great time performing for a great cause.
WHERE DO YOU LIKE TO GO WITH FELLOW MUSICIANS AFTER REHEARSALS TO GRAB A BITE IN JOHNS CREEK?
I love Santorini Greek Restaurant, or if we are playing further north and need a quick bite, Fresh To Order or HMart. I also love to get a little treat at Hansel and Gretel or Vincent Cafe.
WHAT WAS THE FIRST SONG YOU REMEMBER SINGING OR PLAYING AS A CHILD?
My earliest musical memories are probably of my mom playing the piano at our church and my eldest brother learning to play the piano and the clarinet. I remember
“The best advice I can give to a child learning an instrument is to make sure you practice your music and most of all, have fun making music! To adults who think they are too old to learn an instrument, I always say it is never too late! After all, I learned how to play ukulele as an adult. I’m even learning Spanish right now!” – Staci Culbreth
desperately wanting to learn the piano like my brothers, but had to wait until I was old enough to take lessons. The first pieces of oboe repertoire that I learned were a set of Handel Sonatas, followed by the Marcello Oboe Concerto. The Marcello is still one of my favorite concertos.
IF YOU COULD PERFORM WITH ANY ARTIST, LIVING OR NOT, WHO WOULD IT BE AND WHY?
My favorite musical experiences have been those that involve a high degree of collaboration, respect, and a shared passion for the process of creating music. When these elements exist between groups of musicians, stunningly beautiful music can happen.
NELLA RIGELL has enjoyed an active and multi-faceted career as an orchestral harpist, chamber musician, therapeutic musician, recording artist and teacher, performing in concert halls from Carnegie Hall to the Grand Ole Opry. Nella is the principal harpist with the Atlanta Ballet Orchestra and for more than a decade, was the principal harpist with the Atlanta Opera Orchestra and second harpist with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. She performs with numerous regional orchestras and is a founding member of the Johns Creek Symphony Orchestra. One of Nella’s strongest passions is in the field of therapeutic music, and as a certified music practitioner, she regularly plays her Celtic harp for patients at Emory Hospital for the purpose of relieving anxiety, providing a calming atmosphere, and creating a healing environment for the ill and dying.
WHAT IS THE MOST UNUSUAL PLACE YOU’VE PRACTICED OR PERFORMED?
One of my favorites was my grandmother’s botanical gardens in Jackson, MS. It was such a special experience –combining my love of gardens with my love of harp music. The setting was magical and playing among the trees and flowers made it unforgettable.
WHAT WAS THE FIRST SONG YOU REMEMBER SINGING OR PLAYING AS A CHILD?
Oh, so many! My earliest childhood memories of music were hearing my mother sing lullabies to me. When I got
older, I would sing the songs with her. These are some of the same songs I sang to my daughter when she was little.
DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE INSTRUMENT TO PLAY, OR DO YOU ENJOY SWITCHING THINGS UP?
Although the piano was my first instrument, which I started at a very young age and continued playing in college, the harp was the instrument that I truly fell in love with. It’s so versatile and there are so many styles and sizes of harps, each with their own unique sound. Although I was classically trained, I also love playing the Celtic harp and it’s such fun to have the variety from playing orchestral music with the concert grand harp, to Celtic music on the smaller Celtic harp with my group, “Celtic Fire,” and to the quiet music of playing for patients at Emory Hospital. On the lighter side, I have fun playing the spoons – they’re easy to play, small enough to fit into my purse, and they never go out of tune!
IF YOU COULD PERFORM WITH ANY ARTIST, LIVING OR NOT, WHO WOULD IT BE AND WHY?
I would have loved the opportunity to play with Carlos Salzedo, a pioneer in the harp world for his innovations in harp technique and in his compositions. It would have been a thrill just to meet him!
Their advice to aspiring musicians?
“The best advice I can give to a child learning an instrument is to make sure you practice your music and most of all, have fun making music! To adults who think they are too old to learn an instrument, I always say it is never too late! After all, I learned how to play ukulele as an adult. I’m even learning Spanish right now!” – Staci Culbreth
“Anyone can make music, but to truly improve, you have to be prepared to work at it. It takes time, commitment, patience, perseverance, and practice to really see substantial improvement. If you really want to learn and improve, find a great teacher, commit to the process, and be patient with yourself. All of those musical fundamentals that may seem boring now, will pay off in the long run!” – Kim Lorch Perrins
“Enjoy the adventure. Playing a musical instrument can bring such joy, whatever a person’s age. I always encourage anyone who has an interest in learning an instrument to follow that desire.” – Nella Rigell
