Happy Holidays, One and All FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, MY CHILDREN WILL NOT ALL BE UNDER MY ROOF FOR THE HOLIDAY. They are 18, 21 and 26, all independent creative humans. I love being with them, not only because I am their mother, but also because they are interesting, engaging, political, funny and… good helpers in the kitchen.

I depend on them to keep me current with today’s music. I made a shared playlist on Spotify called, “Mom, listen to this.” Thanks to them, I have Lizzo, SZA, Leon Bridges and Dzihan & Kamien on my phone. (I’ll share a few finds with you, if you’re interested. Go to: SeeSueGo LifestylePubs V1 on Spotify.)

I’m bracing myself for a holiday without all the chicks in my roost. I’ll invite an otherwise solo friend to the table, so there’s another voice in the conversation and not a sad empty chair in the room. I’ll send a card and loaf of pumpkin bread to my daughter’s boyfriend’s family so there’s a little piece of me there with her. I’ll try not to cry, or if I do, I’ll escape to Kroger to pick up just one more thing and let loose in the car.

I’m sure your holidays will be different this year. Whether it’s because the faces around your table have changed or because your life has changed. It’s inevitable.

Let’s promise each other we will embrace the new and make the day meaningful for those around us. Focusing on others always makes us feel better. Stronger. And, maybe you’ll discover someone new to do the dishes.

From everyone here at Lifestyle Publications, please accept our very best wishes for a warm, healthy and meaningful holiday season.

CHRISTMAS AT RESERVA CONCHAL FAMILY. TRADITIONS. SNORKELING. ARTICLE SUE G. COLLINS

STAYING AT LOVELY RESERVA CONCHAL IN THE LUSH GUANACASTE REGION OF COSTA RICA, I HAD A CHANCE TO USE MY HIGH SCHOOL SPANISH. “Muchas Gracias,” I enthused, when the smiling bell hop helped me out of the airport car. “Mucho Gusto,” he replied.

Wait, what happened to “De nada?” I think his reply roughly translated to, “with much pleasure… my pleasure!” And, as I spent the next few days getting to know the rolling and verdant hills of the 2,300-acre beach-side resort, I learned that for my hosts, showing me a little slice of their country was indeed their pleasure. And, providing me with never-ending heart-felt hospitality was also their pleasure, not just their employer’s mission.

Set within the resort are six communities of 200 luxury condominiums and villas that may start as vacation homes but often become primary residences for Americans, South Americans, Brits and Europeans who come to explore the eco-aware region and fall in love with Costa Rica’s warmth--the warmth from the people who lovingly protect their land and heritage, and from the unspoiled beaches that ring the region.

A scenic 40-minute drive from Liberia International Airport (served by non-stop flights from Atlanta), the all-inclusive Westin Golf Resort & Spa features vacation homes and the 60,000-square-foot Reserva Conchal Beach Club. Highlights of the resort include an extensive swimming pavilion, modern workout facilities, ten restaurants, a delightful spa and a Robert Trent Jones II-designed championship golf course.

OPEN HOUSE

(CON TI N U ED)

It was on the 18th hole that I met a 3-foot long bearded dragon who made it clear with that I was NOT to play through.

Patience. Pura Vida. I was lucky enough to play a few holes with the pro, Carlos Rojas Soto, who offered me excellent tips and ice cold slices of watermelon mid-course from a friendly server patrolling the back nine.

Earlier this year, Reserva Conchal unveiled Aromo, a community of six exclusive modern town homes offering Pacific and golf course views. Starting at $629,000, Aromo

The 60,000-square-foot Beach Club, featuring a sleek pool and pavilion, state-of-theart fitness center, the beachside Catalinas Restaurant, an exclusive rooftop dining space, and brand-new poolside pizzeria.

boasts three- and four-bedroom residences with spacious 2,500-square-foot floor plans including traditional terrazas celebrating nature, a two-car covered driveway and a private pool with panoramic ocean views.

Ceviche, served poolside, with a smile.

Reserva Conchal is close to exemplary schools, supermarkets, hospitals and endless outdoor activities.

The famed beach towns of Guanacaste (epic sunset happy hours) - Tamarindo and Flamingo – are an easy 20-minute drive.

Residents of Reserva Conchal can be as busy or carefree as they desire. A handful of young families have already made their home in gorgeous villas among the ancient Guanacaste trees attesting to the conveniences available and the quality of life there.

This month, the W Costa Rica, Reserva Conchal welcomed its first guests, and offers 150 guestrooms, casitas and luxurious amenities. The suites I toured during construction last year featured wrap around balconies with hot tubs and infinity pools.

The holidays at Reserva Conchal are jammed with parties, events and special services for guests and homeowners. “We decorate the Beach Club and celebrate the tree lighting with Christmas carols, cookie decorating for kids and a special Christmas menu for dinner. We also offer packages of prepared Christmas food for owners to take and eat at their homes,” says the charming guest services manager, Maria Cascante (who, by the way thought my Spanish was very good!).

Reserva Conchal takes its role as employer and steward of the land and its people very seriously. Last month, their annual golf tournament and silent auction raised funds for school uniforms for kids from Guanacaste living in poverty. “Our employees organize Christmas parties for children in the community of Brasilito, with food and presents,” says Maria.

Sitting under a palm tree waiting for the stars to come is a perfect way to celebrate New Year’s Eve. Spending time at the magical Reserva Conchal should be on your list for anytime you want to experience Pura Vida in 2019.

memories.

Colleen works with clients near and far and the final work of art, hand-lettered and illustrated is sent as numbered prints in any amount required. In addition to the personal memorial pieces, she also does large, detailed work to preserve the legacy of families, birthdays, retirements, etc.

Colleen studied illustration at the Creative Circus, the two-year Atlanta portfolio school for designers, copywriters, photographers and art directors who go on to work in top advertising and design agencies. She earned her Master of Fine Arts from SCAD and was teaching at the Creative Circus until recently. She is now a full-time illustrator and spends her days trying to use her talents to create, and spread, joy and hope every day.

Colleen credits a trend as consumers are embracing products made by hand. “We saw this same trend in the late 1800s as the industrial age mechanized everything. In the early 1900s, the arts and crafts movement settled us back into beautiful design and an appreciation for fine craftsmanship.� She is all about leaving technology behind, embracing the texture of the paper, the density of color applied by hand and the love that she pours into each and every love letter.

HERE ARE A FEW STANDOUTS INTRODUCED IN 2018 TO COMPLETE THE DECEMBER EDITION OF DRIVER’S NOTEBOOK AND USHER IN A NEW YEAR!

2018 CHEVROLET CAMARO 2SS COUPE The 2018 Chevy Camaro has been made into a life-sized “Hot Wheels” version to commemorate the 50th year of the miniature collectibles children—and adults— “vrooomed” across the floor of yesteryear.

This coupe is a “gorgeous monster”—a fitting oxymoron to describe its beauty and brawn. Fully loaded, this custom Camaro’s highlights include a 6.2-liter V8 DI engine, 8-speed transmission, remote start, signature Chevrolet MyLink audio system, OnStar, and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot to bridge its nostalgic theme with today’s technology.

The “Hot Wheels Package” also includes the orange “Crush” and jet black color scheme inside and out; a satin graphite stripe; suede accents throughout the cockpit; and ground effects sitting on 20-inch wheels (also satin graphite).

2019 TOYOTA AVALON HYBRID LIMITED Hybrids are “in” and justly so: they promote a progressive future lessening the harmful ecological effects of fully gas-operated engines. The all-new 2019 Toyota Avalon Hybrid Limited not only supports movement, but does it with a refined body flaunting LED lighting, power moonroof, and 18-inch alloy wheels. The luxurious interior pampers with premium leather seats, a concert-esque Entune 3.0 premium audio system, an App Suite, Apple CarPlay compatibility, 10-inch head-up display, Qi wireless charging station, and dual-zone climate control. And don’t let “hybrid” suggest limited power; its cloud-like driving experience still packs a punch of 176 horsepower thanks to a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder heart, and ECVT for smooth gear shifting. Design, technology, elegance, phenomenal gas range of 43 combined miles per gallon, and top-safety rankings are all successfully addressed priorities for the 2019 edition of this consistently solid trim.

2018 NISSAN KICKS 2018’s introduction of Nissan’s brand-new Kicks compact crossover makes it an even more memorable year in the auto industry; this addition to the automaker’s extensive family of esteemed four-wheelers has been welcomed with high regards. Available in three trims—Kicks S, Kicks SV, and Kicks SR—it hits a bullseye targeting the Millennials and younger generation with its sleek, yet muscular frame available in five two-tone color combinations; trio of interface options— NissanConnectSM, Apple CarPlay or Android Auto—and heavily advertised 2.5-inch Bose UltraNearfield neodymium speakers visibly situated inside the driver’s headrest. The highly recommended Intelligent Mobility with standard Automatic Emergency Braking; Intelligent Around View Monitor; and numerous other safety features avoid the dangers of today’s techy distractions as well. Comfortably transporting up to five adults with impressive cargo space, its 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine delivers stellar fuel economy averaging 33 miles per gallon, and the price tag starting under $18,000 collectively make the Kicks crossover a strong contender for new car of the year.

Perimeter North Lifestyle | December 2018

TAKE ONE LOOK IN DIANE JOHNSON INTERIORS' JOHNS CREEK STORE, AND IT'S AS IF EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR CREATIVE DREAMS HAS MAGICALLY SWIRLED INTO REALITY. The holiday magic... the intricate hues... the way Diane Johnson herself has curated some of the most beautiful gifts and items that would help any home or hostess shine... It's almost like the elves themselves visit at night to help create the holiday perfection that draws many devoted fans to catch a glimpse of Johnson's keen eye for what most anyone would want.

DIANE JOHNSON FROM DIANE JOHNSON INTERIORS SHARES HER EYE FOR DESIGN AND HOLIDAY INSPIRATION.

It's easy to see that Johnson herself loves the holidays.

Though she professes, "I'm quite ordinary and boring, and do the same thing most every year by going home to visit family in North Carolina for a few days, then heading back late Christmas Day to be ready for the crowds shopping at the store the day after Christmas." And although she may claim her holiday tradition is "ordinary," she's clearly saving the extraordinary for the store and her clients.

Always ahead of the trends, Johnson says this year brought holiday shoppers much earlier than usual.

"Either people were very excited this year, or they were just afraid of something selling out," she chuckles. "This year's on-trend design is a more neutral palette and less pattern, so those items are very popular this season."

With so many items in the store, it would be impossible for Johnson to pick a favorite. However, she clearly has a soft spot for the unique traditions her clients create around the pieces they find at Diane Johnson Interiors.

"We have small decorative boxes that look like presents and I just love what people say they use them for, especially at the dinner table. Some people use them as name place holders, some people put small gifts for each guest in them, and some even share their holiday wish for the year on a piece of paper tucked away until the next year."

Although Diane Johnson's own personal holiday may be short and sweet, she certainly celebrates all throughout the holiday season in her store. Whether you are looking for the perfect gift, one-of-a-kind interior decorating items, or the most beautiful holiday pieces to help you celebrate with your loved ones, Diane Johnson Interiors is definitely ready to add a little sparkle and shine not only to your holiday season, but throughout the new year.

GLAMP. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO. Waking up to birds chirping is a heavenly way to start the day and spending the night in a tent is magical, but add a king bed dressed with high thread-count linens and a super mod en suite bathroom, and camping just became glamping. Add Under Canvas Great Smoky Mountains to your Go List for 2019. Nestled among the moody foothills 20 minutes from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the compound will feature 75 canvas platform tents when they reopen for the season in April 2019. The lobby tent is decked out in West Elm furnishings and the chef at the Embers will cook up three squares from his menu of inventive local fare and campground favorites.

Outside, there’s a big fire pit where your new friends will gather for s’mores. Friendly staffers keep the marshmallows, graham crackers and Hershey bars coming. Jake, one of the creative Under Canvas crew members had just built a handy rack out of local wood with neat hooks for the industrial size marshmallow sticks. Under Canvas also has properties in the Photo by Paul Joyner

FLORIDA, NOW? YES, PLEASE. While we have all flocked to 30a for spring break family shenanigans, the Emerald Coast feels more special and alluring during the slower months when you can actually get a shrimp basket without waiting with a throng of sunburned teens. We stayed at SeaBatical, a sweet rental home in the quiet beach community of Gulf Trace, just west of Grayton Beach off 30a. Sunburst Beach Vacations helped make the holiday seamless and the 4-bedroom, 4-bath home had an eat-in kitchen with a killer view of Alligator Lake and the dunes of Grayton Beach State Park. The heated pool, deck with a gas grill and cozy screened porch gave each of us a place to play. At the end of the street is 30a's 19-mile paved bike path (the Timpoochee Trail)
