LOCAL ENTREPRENEURS Inspire with their Success

Who, at some time in their life, hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wanted to start their own business?

The thrill of risk and freedom, not having to answer to anyone and doing what you love are all things that practically everyone wants!

But when you are just starting out with your own business, it can quickly become overwhelming and discouraging. There is so much to do and so little time to do it. Meanwhile, you are facing competition from business owners who have been doing what you do longer and are already established.

Finding inspiration can help you keep fighting until you find your breakthrough success.

Fellow entrepreneurs are the perfect place to look for that inspiration and motivation. They were all once in the same place you are, but through hard work and perseverance, they all succeeded. Triangle Style spoke with a few inspiring local entrepreneurs about their highs, lows and successes proving that owning your own business can be rewarding, but not always easy. Here's what they had to say:

24 | triangle style

Written By Heather Green

Roi Parker of Roi Parker Salon After he graduated from design school, Roi Parker worked at a few salons, but none he said felt like the right fit. Parker says he wanted to work in a place that allowed him to spend a lot of time with clients and really give them the attention and care that they needed. Instead, most salons were more focused on moving clients through quickly.

“It is in my nature to want to know each person intimately,” Parker explained. “At that time, that particular place did not exist. I innately knew my niche so I took a chance and headed straight to the heart of Raleigh and set up shop in Five Points.”

While Parker said it was a risky move (though a calculated one), he also says it was the best decision he ever made because it allowed him to provide the kind of salon experience he wanted.

“For me, it was never a question of whether I wanted to be a business owner or not,” Parker said.

“It was just a natural progression. I've stayed true to myself and directed by my clients.”

Parker said one of his biggest obstacles to starting his own business was finding the perfect location, which took him several months. In hindsight, he said he also would have developed his own line of hair care products much earlier since he was stuck with offering name brand products with harsh or toxic chemicals in the early days. Now, with his own line of products, he can offer clients the quality they need to get beautiful results.

“If I had any advice to give, it's quite simple: Love your industry, trust your instincts, and most importantly, know your demographic,” Parker said.

“As such, the old adage applies: Location, location, location. While the salon has transitioned over the years, I've steadfastly remained close to Five Points, Hayes Barton and Cameron Village.”

Sarah Benken of Metro's Other Woman (919)833.0107 WWW.PLUMHAIRATELIER.COM 1028 OBERLIN ROAD SUITE 228 RALEIGH, NC 27605

A UNIQUE WOMEN'S BOUTIQUE. We specialize in clothing and accessories for the woman who has a passion for fashion and is smitten by all things lovely!

Sarah Benken always had a knack for handling the details, whether it was managing small businesses, crunching the numbers, or implementing new business systems. For a long time, she worked as a business manager or an accounting manager at a variety of small businesses. However, her busy professional life made it harder and harder for her to tend to things at home, which inspired the launch of her business, Metro's Other Woman.

"There was no one to tend to my laundry, grocery shopping, organizing and so forth. After conducting my own research and seeing a lack of options, I knew wholeheartedly that there must be others like myself -- overworked and overwhelmed individuals who needed worklife balance," Benken said. "So I jumped -- took a major leap of faith and landed on my feet. I created a solution to the mundane -- a place where your time-suck, regardless of business or personal, would be given special attention. There no longer had to be a choice between put away laundry or relax after a long day."

Metro's Other Woman does everything from perform chores to make meals to organize personal spaces.

It offers professionals the help they need to reduce stress and make it easier for them to focus on both family and work.

Benken never thought she would open the business she did. "After all, I was the young girl that would get grounded on the weekends for not keeping a clean room!" However, she said that she is now right where she wants to be.

Benken said that her major obstacles at the beginning were lack of cash flow and difficulty finding the right staff. She opened the business with no credit lines or

loans, and she didn't have huge personal savings to contribute -- a fact of which she's proud, but made getting started difficult nonetheless.

"Staffing is also tough for us – I think more difficult that I had imagined it would be," she said. "Because there isn’t a college degree offered in personal assisting and because this type of career isn’t wellknown, we’ve had to get creative in recruiting."

Despite those struggles, Benken has grown Metro's Other Woman from one Raleigh location in 2009 to two other locations in Charlotte and Greenville, SC. She has plans to open 25 locations nationwide within the next five years and 50 locations within 15 years. The Raleigh office was named one of the "Top 50 Best Places to Work in 2014," and Benken was honored with the "40 Under 40" award in 2014.

She says her advice to other entrepreneurs is "Work hard, persevere, but don't force anything. Most of all trust your intuition. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is!"

Lisa Kornstein of Scout & Molly's Before she opened her clothing boutique Scout & Molly's in 2002, Lisa Kornstein said she had very little experience. She was only 25 years old when she opened her business, and before that, she had worked part-time in a clothing boutique while in graduate school. She said she loved the thrill of making a sale and the look she would see on a customer's face when she helped her find just the right outfit to make her feel beautiful.

She opened her boutique with little more than that love of sales. She had no mentor and no formal business experience. However, her business grew quickly, and before long, others were approaching winter | 27

her about franchise opportunities. There are now several Scout & Molly's franchises, and Kornstein hopes to have 25 locations up and running by the end of next year -- not only to help her business grow, but also to provide more empowerment opportunities to other women, both in the franchise opportunities and in the way the clothes make women feel.

Kornstein says that she tells other entrepreneurs what her first business counselor told her, "Always run it by the numbers." She says that when she has made business decisions based on emotions in the past, she has almost always regretted it. By looking at the numbers, entrepreneurs can get a much better idea about the potential success of an idea.

Her other piece of advice, she says, is "Don't ever let anyone tell you that you can't do something. If you want it badly enough and you have the drive within yourself to work hard, you CAN do it. Believing in yourself is where it all begins; the rest will fall into place with hard work and determination."

Design by Tula And you can live in elegance with the help of Tula Summerford, an Interior Designer trained at NYC's Fashion Institute of Technology. Her style ranges from Southern Traditional, to MidCentury Modern, to what she’s best known for: Old World and French interiors. Currently, her antiques and furnishings can be found at Hunt and Gather on Glenwood Avenue and her office showroom.

As the Owner and Designer at Design by Tula (designbytula.com), each of her clients desire a look that is classic, timeless and full of foreign intrigue. The treasures she is able to bring home from France and England complete their homes with one of a kind accessories and fabrics tailored to their individual style. Summerford travels to Europe every couple of years, and is planning a buying trip to both England and France in the summer of 2015.

T

Her project scope includes overall design and space planning. Summerford’s mantra is that whether a home is formal or casual, traditional or modern, all rooms should be a reflection of a client’s personality and style. Interesting fabrics and accessories, used simply and effectively, are her signature.

“I love designing homes using a mix of antique and eclectic pieces,” she said. “The textiles and treasures I bring from France accentuate my client’s spaces whether they’re Traditional, Transitional or Mid-Century Modern.” For example, she purchased two gilded French chairs about 5 years ago, however one of the chairs needed to be recovered, and Summerford would have had to part with the original fabric. Au contraire, she was in Paris and came upon a fabric shop that had the exact fabric she needed and in the quantity necessary for the one chair. She knew it was meant to be! And she believes you should feel good each time you enter a room that has been furnished with things you love.

DREAM COLLECTION ARRIVES IN DECEMBER

Now if you want to look your best while dining out, look no further than C.T. Weekends Ladies Fashions (ctweekendsforwomen.com) in Cameron Village. Their motto is: “Your body does not resemble a hanger. Clothing and their accessories only come to life when tried on.” To that end, they strive to provide creative and unique clothing and accessories from designers throughout the world – for clients to find their style and discover new looks that will always fit and flatter.

Hence their ability to provide for women through European designers and manufacturers. Apropos designers like Didier Parakian, Lunatisme, Barbara Rihl, Lisette-from Montreal, and Issey Miyake from Japan, just to name a few.

“We emphasize styles/designs that are wearable with a bit of attitude,” said Owner Kristi Hipple.

“We do not sell ‘age,’ instead strongly encouraging all clients to try clothes on and ensure a proper fit.”

Hipple and Marketing Director Dennis Mayfield travel to France 2-3 times per year to shop and buy for the boutique. They could not feature the clothing they offer if they did not make the trip as they purposely seek out vendors with limited distribution, or are who are not featured in the United States. C.T. Weekends works very hard to stand apart from all other ladies’ boutiques.

“We find Paris and Parisians to be most gracious.

We have made many friends in France, and Paris in particular,” said Hipple. “We encourage everyone to visit.” Their staff can even help you with dinner reservations or arranging Musée tours through an assistant curator at The Louvre. “The history, art, architecture, style, and food of Paris should bring joy to all who sample it. Enjoy the moment!”

New Year’s Resolutions… when I think of this, I usually think of failed attempts at making changes, and then staying the same. How long do these things really last anyway--one week, a month? How many times have we made the same resolution, year after year, to no avail? Often when we “resolve” to do something it comes with the notion that we are not happy with some aspect of our life. From the outset this reinforces a negative association in our minds, and it’s easy to feel defeated before we even start. The difference between a resolution and an intention is that resolution infers there is a problem that needs a solution; intention implies significance, and that there is meaningful determination behind an action.

While our reasons for wanting to make changes may very well be valid, often the way we choose to look at a situation can determine the degree of success in bringing about the desired result. This holiday season, instead of resolving to stop doing something that makes us feel bad, how about flipping the perspective, and setting a positive intention to start something that makes us feel good? The famous quote by Mohandas Ghandi, “Be the change you want to see…” that’s it. Just start.

Don’t give up. Keep your focus. With consistent effort, you will see results. Whether it’s once a week, or three times a week, consistency is what’s key. Remember that on this path, no effort is ever wasted. It’s better to do a little bit consistently and look forward to the practice than to hit it hard, exhaust yourself, and give up.

People often tell me, “I want to try yoga, but I’m just not flexible.” I have some great news: you don’t need to be flexible, thin, young, or anything else to practice yoga. To inspire you to take purposeful action toward your goals in 2015, here are five positive reasons to start a yoga practice this Holiday season, and get a jump start on your New Year’s intentions:

1. You’re never too anything for yoga, it’s the Great Equalizer.

Everyone is in stretch pants, doing their best, sweating, challenging him/herself, and discovering things along the way. By the end of it, everyone is probably having a bad hair day, and it’s ok! The beauty is none of it matters. It’s about you—it’s your journey. There is a yoga style for every body, be it gentle, flow, alignment-based, hot…keep trying different teachers and styles until you find just the right fit.

2. Yoga makes you feel good-beat the holiday blues!

Yoga releases endorphins, and there is a growing body of research that supports the theory that even one hour of yoga a week can significantly improve your mood and reduce the symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress.

3. Yoga helps maintain a healthy metabolism--you’ll have no regrets after all those holiday parties.

As you become more active, your metabolic rate increases, which supports weight loss. Twists and poses that activate core muscles contribute to improved digestion and liver function, which boosts a sluggish metabolism. When properly executed, yoga poses help build targeted muscle groups. With increased muscle mass, you burn more calories with less effort.

4. You’ll be nicer.

One of the first things I noticed when I started practicing yoga was I became more patient, and frankly, a lot nicer. There is something about having to hold a pose and work right at your edge, while at the same time knowing that it will only last for a few more breaths. Rather than getting impatient, you simply breathe and stay. And then it changes. This pattern builds patience, confidence and courage to go beyond our perceived ‘limitations,’ and it extends long after you’ve rolled up your mat.

5. You will look different to the world, but the world will also look different to you.

The wonderful thing is that simply by showing up and doing the practice, the results will come. You’ll get stronger, more flexible, have better posture and balance, get more toned, and your metabolism and mood will be enhanced. Yoga works from the inside out as well, and as we open the subtle energy channels in the body through deep breathing and movement, life force energy (prana) starts to flow in its natural pattern, our mind moves toward its natural state of joy.

The world starts to look a lot better when you feel good.

Stay with it, if you fall off, just begin again…There is an old alchemical precept: Through repetition, the magic is forced to rise.

Nicole Nichols is the founder and director of Republic of Yoga, in Cary. Nicole taught yoga in New York City at the renowned Jivamukti Yoga School and internationally for 18 years before opening Republic of Yoga. The studio’s mission is to foster an authentic and complete yoga experience, beyond the physical practice. www.republicofyoga.com

ask anna Hi Anna, I know long-lasting makeup has been around a while now, but my girlfriends and I got to talking and we were wondering what exactly is in the makeup so that lipstick and foundation can stay put for 12 hours or even longer. And is it more harmful to wear this kind of makeup as opposed to the traditional kind? Kristen R. Wow, what a great question. Before I answer, let me preface by stating that this is strictly my own personal opinion, which is based on my years as a professional makeup artist and my background as an aesthetician working with dermatologists.

What I have found is that quite often long-lasting foundation contains certain chemicals (way too many to list) that can cause irritation to the skin, particularly acne/breakout prone skin. Likewise, many long-lasting lipsticks temporarily dye the lips, thus causing them to become dry, oftentimes

causing unwanted peeling and flaking. In addition, most long-lasting makeup tends to look somewhat matte and cakey on the skin, which in turn makes skin look dry and older due to the makeup settling in the lines, thus extenuating them.

I wouldn’t necessarily say all long-lasting makeup is more harmful for your skin, as it really depends on your skin type and whether or not the ingredients in a certain product happen to not “agree” with your own skin. For example, a rosacea skin is much more sensitive to particular ingredients and you must be more careful when selecting makeup and skin care products. All and all, I am not a big fan of traditional long-lasting makeup products.

However, I am a huge fan of mineral makeup, which is naturally long lasting. Mineral makeup is naturally waterproof and sweat-proof, which creates a long-lasting application that is perfect

There are also “tricks of the trade” that will help your favorite makeup last longer. For a longer lasting foundation, begin by applying a silicone based foundation primer. And for a longer lasting lipstick, apply concealer over the entire lips. Follow with a translucent powder, next apply a neutral lip liner, also over the entire lip area. Last, apply your favorite lipstick. Voilà--long lasting beautiful makeup that keeps your skin healthy and flawless all day long.

Good luck on your hunt for the perfect makeup.

When you frown or concentrate, the muscles between your brows contract, causing your skin to furrow and fold. And when you squint, the muscles around your eyes contract and cause crow's feet.

Working beneath the skin’s surface, BOTOX® Cosmetic targets the underlying muscle activity that cause these frown lines and crow's feet to relax showing a naturally smoother, younger and healthier look.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL PERMANENTLY REMOVES UNWANTED HAIRâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;AND YOUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;LL NEVER SHAVE AGAIN. Fiction. Patients can achieve permanent hair reduction, not permanent hair removal. You can expect between 70 and 80 percent hair reduction once you complete a series of treatments (usually 6-8). Annual follow up visits may be needed to tr eat regrowth and to maintain the r esults. However , the remaining hairs should be finer, thin, and lighter in color.

Fact. At Southern Dermatology's Skin Renewal Center, both our licensed estheticians and board certified Dermatologists provide a full range of cosmetic services, which include laser hair removal. Our practice is well educated on proper eyewear and pr otective equipment, including cooling systems.

We understand the wavelength settings based on the Fitzpatrick Scale to minimize the risk of burns and maximize the desired result.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL IS MOSTLY FOR LEGS, UNDERARMS AND BIKINI AREAS Fiction. The entire body can be safely treated. The most common ar eas for women ar e the upper lip, chin, underarms, bikini line, legs and arms.

Men generally request hair removal on the back, shoulders, chest and abdomen.

We can treat any area with the exception of the areas around the eyes.

BLONDS AND REDHEADS CANNOT BE TREATED Fiction. Blonds and redheads both are candidates for laser hair r emoval. They both tend to have dark hair in the ar eas they notice and target to be removed. It is more difficult to r emove the blonde and red hairs through laser hair removal because of the lack of pigment in the hair shaft. Light and heat fr om the laser ar e attracted to darker colors, so the less pigment in a patient's hair , the har der it is for the laser to tar get and remove that hair.

PEOPLE WITH DARK SKIN CANNOT HAVE LASER HAIR REMOVAL PERFORMED ON THEM. Fiction. All skin types can be safely treated.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE Fiction. Call our of fice for pricing. Y ou would be surprised to find that it is very affordable.

HOME LASER HAIR REMOVAL DEVICES WORK JUST AS WELL. Fiction. While not completely a gimmick, home laser hair r emoval devices ar e seriously underpowered.

TRENDS FROM THE HIGH POINT FURNITURE MARKET

The twice yearly International High Point Furniture Market was held in October. For six days, the city of High Point was transformed into a series of furniture showrooms displaying everything from furniture to lighting to accessories and rugs. It would take the entire six days to visit the majority of vendors displaying their newest and most popular items.

But I only scheduled three days, and had to plan my visits to my suppliers and potential suppliers carefully!

Designers go to the furniture market for several reasons. It is a learning event, a social event, a buying and planning event. But for me it is the time to discern the trends in home decor predicted for the coming year. My staff and I paid close attention to what we learned were the new trends.

The Color That Predominated At Market Was Blue

The shade of blue used for paint, fabric, wood finishes, and accessories was a clear and strong blue. It ranged from cobalt blue to Caribbean blue. Walls in some showrooms were painted blue with furnishings that were lighter and more neutral in color to contrast and make their own statement. Blue was most frequently paired with shades of orange. Area rugs used several shades of blue in their patterns. And collections of blue accessories made quite a statement in the accessory showrooms.

CYAN

Customized Furniture In the Kravet showroom, we sat on and examined gorgeous sofas and chairs that were made right here in North Carolina.

KRAVET Many of the sofas and chairs from Kravet can be ordered with the length and depth of the piece customizable by the inch. His and hers chairs no longer have to have the same seat depth! In the Cox showroom, another North Carolina furniture manufacturer, we saw ottomans and benches that are ordered â&#x20AC;&#x153;by the inchâ&#x20AC;?. And in the Swaim showroom we saw the range of wood and metal finishes that can be selected for casegoods. These pieces, made in High Point, are custom finished. The only limit to the finished product is the imagination of the designer!

Written By Paula Fullerton Sew Fine II 58 | triangle style

SWAIM

Multi-Task Furnishings

We found pieces made here in North Carolina from COUEF. This company offers chairs, ottomans, benches, coffee tables, bar stools, and consoles with pull out trays that can be extended to hold a drink, book, iPad, or other item. When not in use, the tray is pushed back into the piece of furniture. All the offerings in the COUEF line are customizable with a great selection of wood finishes, fabrics and even COM possibilities.

Wallpaper

has been an important design element now for several years. But not everyone that would like the design statement that wall coverings make want to invest in the paper and installation. In addition, some people would like to add wallpaper patterns to TEMPAPER their living spaces but don’t own their home. Now there is a paper with a stunning line of patterns called Tempaper. It can be installed easily by a homeowner without wallpaper paste and can be easily removed without damaging the walls. This product is really going to fill a niche in the wallcovering market.

She is also the Owner and founder of Modern Enhancement Salon Day Spa of Raleigh, NC. SOTHYS HYDRAVANCE CREAM Being 40, having great skin is very important to me.

The scent is so divine!

KERASTASE \OLEO RELAX SHAMPOO A Miracle for truly rebellious hair. Nothing is as effective to transform the "Big & Poofy" into "Sleek & Silky". Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expensive, but it works. Add the masque for super control!

MOROCCAN OIL HYDRATING STYLING CREAM Love this stuff! Smoothes hair for straight blowdry's, gives a little bit of hold for a bouncy flip blowout! It hydrates, fights frizz, and gives a light hold while providing shine and silkiness to my otherwise dry, dull hair. And always great to refresh that day old hair with a delicious smell!

THE EXPERTS SPEAK:

TATTOO REMOVAL Tattoos have become part of American mainstream culture over the past couple of decades. Some estimate that more than 10 million Americans have at least one tattoo, and there are about 4,000 tattoo studios now in business in the United States. Well, no more worries for mom’s “told you so” stories, the experts at WAKE HEALTH MEDICAL GROUP can help with their state of the art technology.

HOW IT IS DONE: Tattoos can be removed with the Astanza Duality Laser. Beyond improving the results of skin rejuvenation treatments, the Astanza Duality Laser with its 755, 532 & 1064 nm wavelengths brings new treatment capabilities from unsurpassed pigmented lesion removal to treatment of tattoos of all colors.

THIS LASER IS USEFUL IN THE TREATMENT OF: • Birthmarks, Scars • Café au Lait • Tattoos of all colors • Benign pigmented lesions • Nevus of Ota/Ito • Freckles, sun & age spots FACTORS TO CONSIDER: There are many factors that affect the cost of removing a tattoo including where the tattoo is located on your body, colors in the tattoo, and more. When you come in for your free tattoo removal consultation, they will compare your tattoo to what they believe is the only medically-published estimator for the number of treatments it will take to remove a tattoo, the KirbyDesai Tattoo Removal Scale. The amount of treatments estimated by the Kirby-Desai scale multiplied by the square inches of ink in your tattoo determines the exact price it will cost to remove the tattoo.

68 | triangle style

Patients with previously treated tattoos may be candidates for the Candela systems. Tattoos or pigmented lesions that have not been effectively removed by other treatments may respond well to Candela laser therapy, providing prior treatment did not cause excessive scarring or skin damage.

STANDARD PRICING $75 per square inch per treatment for the first 2 square inches, then $49 each additional.

Prepay for package, get 15% off. Consultations are free.

A laser seeks out all colors of dye, destroying unwanted tattoos and sending the zapped ink particles out through the body's cleansing system. An optional numbing cream is available for purchase ($45), and technicians will treat any area except the eyebrows. Square inches are calculated by multiplying the height and width of a tattoo; for example, a 3-inch by 1inch tattoo would be three square inches and a 4-inch by 3-inch tattoo would be 12 square inches.

EVER WONDER?

CLIENT TALK WHAT PROCEDURE DID YOU HAVE DONE? I had a “Mommy Makeover”. A breast lift with implants and a full tummy tuck.

WHAT WAS IT ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR PROCEDURE THAT WAS ATTRACTIVE TO YOU? After 3 pregnancies, my breasts were droopy and deflated. My tummy was fat and jiggly and my waist was totally gone.

DID THE PROCEDURE LIVE UP TO YOUR EXPECTATIONS? Dr. Law exceeded my expectations. My tummy and breasts look even better than before pregnancies.

I wanted very natural looking breasts. They are so perky and completely natural looking. My tummy looks great. I am so excited to have such a small waist!

WOULD YOU DO IT AGAIN? In a second! I was afraid of the pain, but the anesthesiologist was amazing, and pain control medication was used on my breasts and tummy.

The recovery was much easier than I expected.

FOR SOMEONE CONSIDERING THIS PROCEDURE FOR THE FIRST TIME, CAN YOU SHARE ANY WORDS OF WISDOM? I had several consultations and looked a long time before finding Dr. Law. I was concerned about safety and results. Dr. Law's education and training is so impressive. That made me feel very confident.

I was also very impressed by his results. Based on my own experience this is what I found to be the top things to look for when considering a plastic surgeon: Look closely at belly buttons. Dr. Law explained that there should never be scars around the belly button. My new belly button looks completely natural and there is no visible scar.

70 | triangle style

WE ASKED TRIANGLE RESIDENT KELLEY M. WHAT SHE HAD DONE AT MICHAEL LAW MD, PLASTIC SURGERY, AS WELL AS WHAT SHE THOUGHT OF THE SERVICE...

Look for small waists after tummy tucks. Some plastic surgeon's before and after show a flatter tummy, but a waist that isn't any smaller. I wanted to get a smaller waist. All of Dr. Law's patients have a much smaller waist after a tummy tuck. My waist is probably my favorite feature. Even in a coat or a sweater I look slim and feminine.

If you want natural looking breasts, find a plastic surgeon with only natural results. Some doctors have only 15 or 20 before and after photos. Dr. Law has photos of more than 90 patients with breast implants. His results all look natural. I'm a mom and a business person. I didn't want artificial looking breast in or out of clothes.

Safety First! I wanted to be sure my safety was a priority. I wanted a board-certified anesthesiologist providing anesthesia and I wanted my surgery performed in a facility accredited by The Joint Commission.

Privacy before and after surgery. I'm fairly open about telling people about my surgery. Not everyone feels that way. Even though I'm open, I didn't want to show up for post op visits and sit in a waiting room or worse, go in a public elevator for post op appointments. I also figured that high profile people would ONLY consider a plastic surgery office with a private, first floor entrance.

b.good Raleigh at North Hills At b.good, real food, fast, means food made by people, not factories. A breakthrough fastcasual dining concept attracting folks hungry for locally sourced, fresh menu items, natural beverages, and North Carolina craft beer.

Partnering with the region’s top cattle, poultry and produce farmers exclusively, their menu changes seasonally but is anchored by all-natural, daily ground beef burgers sourced from Harris Robinette, Pinetops, NC; all-natural ground turkey patties and natural chicken breasts; and a housemade veggie burger that’s irresistible.

Love fries? Their fries (born of Burch Farms Carolina sweet potatoes and Idaho white potatoes) are hand-cut daily, and oven-finished to preserve flavor and reduce fat. As alternatives, choose sautéed crisp veggies, or a seasonal cauliflower served with cheddar and breadcrumbs. SO GOOD!

The two other pillars of their menu are seasonal entrée salads and kale-quinoa veggie bowls. Both are all-stars at b.good. They are handmade to order, created using seasonal delights such as local kale, Brussels sprouts, avocado, organic quinoa, local apple, butternut squash, and fennel, and finished with house-made dressings.

Beverages? Choose from daily house-made unsweetened lemon iced tea, sweet tea, or lemonades (beet-ginger, strawberry, and rosemary), which change with the seasons. Soft drinks by Maine Root are all natural, made with organic Fair Trade cane sugar. Smoothies are made using fruit, fresh kale and mint, and Greek non-fat yogurt. Shakes are handdipped using local Maple View Farm ice cream, and infused with fresh ingredients such as local apple cider and strawberries. They also serve NC craft beer on tap and globally sourced wine.

aging gracefully Written By Lou Scott

When I told the cab driver it was my 50th wedding anniversary, he said, “Well you sure did hang in there. You sure did go the distance!” “Yes,” I thought, “I sure did go the distance.” One foot after the other, up one hill, down another, until I finally reached the finish line -- a Golden Wedding Anniversary banner above -- hands held high in the air, exhausted but impressed that I did it.

Naturally I accepted the cab driver’s accolades with grace and thanksgiving, pleased as punch when I heard admiration in his voice and saw that big smile on his face when I looked in his mirror. Imagining myself standing on a pedestal, receiving the “They Lived Happily Ever After” Cinderella award, I thought how nice it was to be such a sterling example of happiness to others."

Let me revise that a bit. Best case scenario: no one’s marriage is happy all of the time. It’s relative. Sometimes it’s happy, sometimes it’s not. And what makes one person happy is not necessarily the same as what works for another. Moreover, as far as the “forever after” goes, it’s necessary to recalibrate it 20 or so years upward, simply because people are living a lot longer than they did a half century ago.

Even so, the divorce rate for longtime but unsatisfying marriages has soared, in part because of that very reason. Some longtime married women want more out of life than what their mothers had. They no longer feel they have to stay put. They may see a lot of years still ahead of them on the horizon.

Perhaps life on the other side will be happier as well as a good job to take with them.

Nonetheless, many women are just fine with staying put in a longterm marriage; theirs is by and large a happy one. That “by and large” is

important, for being single has its by and large ingredients as well. That aside, the staying happily married statistics indicate men and women who are alike, who share the same socioeconomic and educational background, as well as the same values and interests, are the happiest. This is more and more important as time goes by. There is less to argue about.

One example is that of my friend Karen. She and Matt had never had an argument. They grew up a few doors away from each other.

“We knew each other’s families, we had the same goals and we got along.. He knew what he was getting and I knew what I was getting.

If something bothered us we would sit down and calmly talk about it. As far as other conversation went, Matt never was much of a talker, but that’s okay. When I want to talk, I call up my friends. We always have a lot to talk about.”

On the other hand, Sarah, who also had supportive friends, said she and Bill divorced.

No longer did they have anything to say to each other, which in itself is the best predictor of a failed marriage, even a longtime one.

“I had a beautiful home and Bill was a good man and a great father, but I felt so alone.

After dinner, Bill worked on his computer or turned on the television and fell asleep.

He never really saw me. It was so painful; I was losing me.”

And finally, there was Judy. She said, “Jim and I argue all the time and we really don’t like each other all that much but we look out for each other.” In short, Judy, Karen, and Sarah’s marriages do bear out the statistics, however within each the reasons for leaving or staying are uniquely their own.
