LIFESTYLE LETTER

Ringing in 2026

January 2026 PUBLISHER

Marcus Dickman | marcus.dickman@citylifestyle.com

After a busy and bustling holiday season, the new year is a time to rest, reflect, and reset.

This is the time when many of us start thinking about New Year’s resolutions. While resolutions can be inspiring, they can also feel like a lot of pressure, as if January 1st demands overnight transformation. This overwhelming expectation always seemed to backfire for me and led me to stop making resolutions years ago. As it turns out, making small goals throughout the year is more my pace.

Whether you make resolutions or not, I want to share what I’ve learned. Growth doesn’t have to be dramatic to be meaningful. Your goals don’t need to be big to be valid, and you don’t need to reinvent yourself to create a healthier, happier life.

In our Health & Wellness issue, we invite you to focus on what truly matters: caring for your mind, body, and spirit. Self-care is not indulgent, it’s essential.

Being your best self doesn’t mean perfection, it means showing up each day with intention and kindness, especially toward yourself.

We’ve filled these pages with stories and tools to support you on that journey.

Whether your wellness goals this year involve creating a healthier home, nourishing your body, investing in style and beauty, practicing mindfulness, or simply slowing down, I hope this issue inspires you to be your best self.

Wishing you a new year filled with small steps, self-care, and steady growth,

How to get th e spa-inspire d bath r oom of your dr eams

A SPA AT HOME ARTICLE BY ANA MARKOSI

Health and wellness have become a permanent staple on social media. It’s no surprise that experts predict spa-inspired bathrooms will trend in 2026. Zillow's Home Trends Report shows that searches for spa-inspired bathrooms have increased by 22 percent on the home-hunting website, while searches for wellness features have risen by 33 percent. Now more than ever, intentional living with a side of luxury is at the forefront of homeowners’ minds. Features like saunas and even wet rooms are set to make time spent in the bathroom feel restful and restorative.

12

S PA DAY | HO ME + DESI GN

Luxury upgrades designed to enhance self-care aren’t the only ways homeowners will be turning their bathrooms into personal sanctuaries.

Experts predict that homeowners will use design to evoke a sense of tranquility. Modern flooring, intentional lighting, and natural stones all work to make the bathroom feel like a retreat. Strategic color choices will also help turn typical bathrooms into home spas.

What better way to ring in the new year than with a new spa-inspired bathroom? If you’re ready for a bathroom overhaul, there are several upgrades, big and small, that can turn your bathroom into the spa oasis of your dreams.

If a bathroom remodel is in order, take the opportunity to add a wellness feature, such as a custom home sauna, to bring the health benefits of a spa trip right at home. Home saunas are trending for good reason. Using a sauna is a great way to reduce stress and sweat out toxins. Hot tubs are another option for relaxation. A nice long soak in a hot tub helps relax the muscles, relieve stress, and even improve sleep. Don't forget to include natural stone, adaptive lighting, and wooden elements to complete the vibe.

You can still turn your bathroom into a home spa without a major renovation. Prefab home saunas are available for purchase at multiple price points. You can also turn your existing tub into a hot tub with easy-to-install portable jet systems that create hot tub bubbles in a standard tub. If you have a higher budget and a knack for DIY projects, you can install permanent jets. Beyond the bubbles, using an inexpensive cover for your tub's emergency drain gives you a few extra inches of water for a deep soak. A portable water heater keeps your bath at the perfect temperature for as long as you want.

You can also embrace the spa-inspired bathroom trend with a few simple design tweaks. Color is more influential than you might think. A bathroom painted with muted greens and warm neutrals is much more soothing than stark white. Stone is also having its moment in 2026 for its grounded-in-nature feel. Calacatta Viola and Arabescato marble are trending for their deep, dramatic veining. Quartzite is also surging in popularity for its durability and organic beauty.

“Features like saunas and even wet rooms are set to make time spent in the bathroom feel restful and restorative.”

Christ-Centered Academic Excellence Mount Paran Christian School's 50-year legacy Born from humble beginnings, the Mount Paran Christian Learning Center was established in 1976 with a staff of just two people and a single three-year-old class. Rooted in tradition and Christian core values, Mount Paran Christian School is now celebrating its 50th year of academic excellence. Mount Paran Christian School is now the largest independent school in Cobb County. Within its expansive 68-acre campus in the shadow of Kennesaw Mountain, the school serves more than 1,300 students from preschool age three through grade 12 with 275 career educators on staff.

A COVENANT SCHOOL, FAITH IN ACTION

Mount Paran Christian School is more than a Christian school by name. It's a covenantal community grounded in faith. The school partners with families in nurturing children to be fully prepared for life’s journey. The covenant commitment means that Mount Paran Christian School genuinely puts faith into action, inspiring lives of service and a passion for impacting the world. At the heart of its mission is the intentional integration of faith with service, discipleship, and character-building. These values work together to form students whose hearts are not just for God, but for the community around them.

This Christ-centered focus encourages students to develop resilience and a steadfast

faith, empowering each child to overcome their individual “mountains,” whether academic, artistic, or athletic, while fostering a growth mindset for life.

MENTORSHIP AND COMMUNITY

Mount Paran Christian School is a tight-knit family in which mentorship flourishes from preschool through graduation. The teachers, who share an unapologetic commitment to Christ, know and love each of their students and guide them along the journey from their earliest steps in education to their accomplishments as servant-leaders. The school offers a peer mentorship program for older students to mentor new students and rising 9th. It's just one part of a supportive community that thrives among the student body, teachers, coaches, and parents.

SOARING ABOVE IN ACADEMICS, ARTS, ATHLETICS, AND LEADERSHIP EXCELLENCE

Mount Paran Christian School offers a comprehensive experience, with robust programs in academics, arts, athletics, and leadership development. The school’s commitment to nurturing well-rounded students is reflected in standout achievements: preschoolers demonstrating 13% higher kindergarten-readiness scores, 91% AP exam pass rates among high school students, and nearly half of seniors earning acceptance to UGA or Georgia Tech. Award-winning arts and magnet offerings, plus continuous state championship performances in 17 sports, showcase the breadth of opportunities available for every student to find their niche.

CULTIVATING SERVANT-LEADERS

The teachers and coaches at Mount Paran Christian School serve as both mentors and disciples, ensuring that character, hard work, and faith are at the heart of every opportunity. The intentional journey at Mount Paran Christian School produces graduates ready to lead and serve. Year after year, Mount Paran Christian School celebrates stories of alumni who rise above.

These alumni are servant-leaders who are well prepared for college and life ahead. The legacy lives on in graduates who continue moving their own mountains through a pursuit of excellence and a firm foundation of faith to carry them.

PROTEIN-PACKED FUEL TO JUMP-START YOUR MORNING

PEANUT BUTTER CUP COFFEE SMOOTHIE If you’ve ever wished your morning coffee could double as a filling breakfast, this peanut butter cup coffee smoothie is about to become your new go-to. It blends the bold flavor of coffee with the creamy richness of peanut butter and the indulgent taste of chocolate, creating a drink that feels like a treat but fuels like a balanced meal. Whether you’re racing out the door, recovering from a workout, or trying to crush an afternoon sugar craving, this smoothie delivers long-lasting energy and a decadent flavor that makes healthy eating feel effortless.

What makes this smoothie satisfying is its balanced macronutrient profile. The chia seeds contribute a hearty dose of fiber, which supports digestion and keeps you full. These powerful little seeds also deliver omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants. The banana adds natural sweetness and provides slow-release carbohydrates that help stabilize your energy levels throughout the morning, avoiding the crash that sugary breakfasts can cause. Natural peanut butter adds creaminess and a salty kick, along with healthy fats and extra protein. It supports satiety and makes the smoothie rich and luscious. The chocolate protein powder ties the flavors together, giving the drink a milkshake-like flavor while boosting its nutritional profile. With just a handful of simple ingredients, everything blends together quickly, making it ideal for busy schedules.

PEANUT BUTTER CUP COFFEE SMOOTHIE Ingredients

• 3/4 cup cold brew or chilled brewed coffee • 1/4 cup milk of choice • 2 tbsp chia seeds • 1/2 frozen banana • 4-5 ice cubes

• 1 scoop chocolate protein powder of choice • 3-4 tbsp natural peanut butter

Directions

1. Put all your ingredients except the protein powder in your blender. Blend

Breakfast hack If you’d prefer to enjoy your smoothie as a spoonable treat, skip the milk and use a full frozen banana for a thicker texture. After blending, scoop into a bowl and finish with your choice of toppings. We like banana slices, cacao nibs, granola, and an extra drizzle of peanut butter for a satisfying crunch and added richness.

20

C ULIN A RY C R E AT ION S | F OOD + BE VE RAGE

until smooth. If the smoothie is too thin for your taste, add a few more ice cubes and blend again until smooth.

2. Add the scoop of protein powder and pulse again 4 or 5 times until well combined.

3. Pour into a glass, sip, and enjoy!

How Peachtree Pest Control supports a cleaner, safer home

ARTICLE BY ANA MARKOSI

H OU SE CA LL | HO ME + SE RVICE S

50 YEARS OF GROWTH

Long before Metro Atlanta homeowners step onto their porches with a cup of coffee, Peachtree Pest Control technicians are already hard at work.

Founded in 1976, the company began as a small, local operation dedicated to helping Metro Atlanta homeowners protect their most valuable investment. The company has built a strong reputation for quality service, focusing on prevention, sustainability, and new technologies. In 2021, Peachtree Pest Control acquired six companies, more than doubling its annual revenue and total staff. Led by President Corey Arnold, Peachtree Pest Control now serves communities across Georgia and South Carolina.

TECHNOLOGY AHEAD OF THE CURVE

The team at Peachtree Pest Control prides itself on using advanced technology to stop pests in their tracks. Vice President of Sales Kerry Martin CONTINUED >

President Corey Arnold

says he’s especially excited about using infrared technology as a preventative measure. “It allows us to track rodents and other pests, then act on them and put service plans together, way before they ever create any type of infestation or damage to a home,” Kerry says.

Cutting-edge technology is just one part of the company’s environmentally conscious approach.

Georgia summers bring bustling mosquito populations, and the team combats them with low-toxicity treatments applied only to non-flowering plants, greatly reducing the risk of harm to our vital pollinators. Peachtree Pest Control also prevents mosquito explosions with a product called MosquitoCon. MosquitoCon boxes contain water, as well as a nontoxic product that disrupts mosquitoes’ reproductive cycle, stopping explosions before they start.

“At the heart of Peachtree Pest Control is its team of caring, knowledgeable professionals committed to solving problems and supporting customers.”

A TRUSTED APPROACH

Peachtree Pest Control has made extermination simple and stress-free for families and businesses.

The process begins with a thorough inspection to understand the extent of the infestation and identify entry points. From there, technicians develop a customized treatment plan based on the type of pests and the property’s unique needs.

This trusted approach is upheld by rigorous training. New staff undergo a month-long training program before ever facing a customer, ensuring each technician delivers the same professionalism and expertise the company is known for.

FOSTERING STRONG COMPANY CULTURE

At the heart of Peachtree Pest Control is its team of caring, knowledgeable professionals committed to solving problems and supporting customers.

hiring, Kerry explains. “We really focus on hiring people who care. That's a very simple process to look at, and it's a bit of a broad brush, but we know that if we hire people who really care, you can tell that during the initial interview stage.”

Peachtree Pest Control maintains a staff that cares by providing a clear path for growth within the company. “That in itself creates trust, being transparent with everyone here,” Kerry says. “If you want to move up and you do really well, you will.”

Peachtree Pest Control remains committed to delivering effective, environmentally responsible service backed by a team that truly cares. With every home and business that they protect, the company carries a legacy 50 years in the making.

“I’m especially proud of the Luxe 24K Cut Experience,” general manager Eric Allen says. “A senior certified artist transforms the client with precise razor finishing, warm foam, an aftershave neck massage, lavender-infused steamed towels, and a cooling CBD-infused scalp massage that often puts guests to sleep.”

Of course, quality service starts with quality products chosen through careful research. Many of which, like Hoba Care Organic Jojoba Extract Oil and Ice Mineral Beard Oil, Eric uses himself. “We aim to carry items that men genuinely enjoy and use daily,” Eric says.

The barbers and grooming professionals at Hammer & Nails are trained on a regular

basis to deliver a premium, high-quality experience while still making every client feel welcomed and appreciated. The result is an artful combination of approachability and luxury.

Beyond a luxe experience, what sets Hammer & Nails apart is building a strong community connection and lasting client relationships that make the experience memorable. “The community plays a vital role in our brand,” Eric says. “It gives our business purpose beyond just providing services. Being part of the community helps us build trust and long-term loyalty while giving us the opportunity to serve and uplift the people around us.”

Looking forward, owner Asad Khan plans to open additional locations across Georgia, allowing more men to experience this elevated level of grooming and relaxation.

Jessica Radcliffe, APRN, FNP-C, owner and injector at Vibe Aesthetics, knew from a young age she was meant to be a nurse. After graduating from the University of Central Florida and later Georgetown University with her master’s, she led a career working in surgery, pediatric ENT, and the NICU. After more than a decade of nursing, Jessica found her niche in aesthetics.

Jessica opened her boutique med spa in March 2025 to help people look and feel their best. Her focus remains on enhancing natural beauty and building confidence. For Jessica, aesthetics is an opportunity to explore her

artistic side. She describes it as the intersection of art and science. “I don't want anyone to look like somebody else,” Jessica says. “I just want them to look and feel like the best version of themselves. There's an artistry to that, where you really have to be able to see the person, understand their goals, explain the process, and get them there.”

Vibe Aesthetics offers tried and true injections like Botox and dermal fillers to address common skin concerns. Though Jessica is known as “the Marietta injector” on social media, Vibe Aesthetics offers much more than injections.

The med spa offers full-body aesthetic and wellness treatments from semaglutide injections to vitamins.

Her current favorite treatment for her patients is Morpheus 8, a cutting-edge skin-tightening treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency.

“A lot of people have been losing weight with the help of Semaglutide and similar treatments, and then they’re left with saggy skin, whether it's on the body or face,” Jessica says. “Morpheus 8 goes in there and tightens that up. It's not injecting anything into the skin. It's not adding anything to the body. It's just using radio-frequency heat, and the body does the work of regenerating those cells.” Jessica also touts bio stimulating procedures, like Botox, for their efficacy as preventative, anti-aging treatments.

More than the art of aesthetics, Jessica has perfected the art of care, ensuring every patient feels comfortable, empowered, and beautiful. While patients

often walk in with one main concern, she works with them to create a holistic treatment plan based on the face and body as a whole. “I always walk patients through all their options, show them some pictures, and there's never any pressure,” Jessica says.

While she’s come a long way since starting her nursing career, Jessica’s clinical experience is at the core of her approach as a provider today. “Seeing different people in different parts of their lives, from different walks of life, all going through different experiences, has helped me understand how people are feeling and how to relate to them in a medical environment,” Jessica says. “In medical situations, we can throw out all this jargon, or what we're doing can feel or be scary. But I've used all my experience to have a great understanding of people.”

Vibe Aesthetics operates by appointment only and offers fully flexible scheduling, including Sunday appointments. Visit vibeaesthetics.com to book a free consultation, corporate event, and learn more about the services offered.
