🫶 We got your back
Reading: Flipping through pages delivers a feeling a screen just can’t match. Check out local bookshops where every shelf could hold your next favorite author.
Roadtrip: Highway monotony? These quirky attractions, from a spray-painted Cadillac in Marfa to a see-through I-35 bathroom, will turn your drive into a story you’ll repeat at every BBQ.
DIY: No more 11 PM calls for ever-dripping faucets. A basic set of wrenches, screwdrivers and pliers turns you into your own household hero. If you got these tools, you can tackle anything your home throws at you.
Coffee: For those who believe coffee is less “morning fuel” and more “liquid art form,” Cerulean Blue Coffee House has you covered. From single-origin beans roasted with nerdy precision to the kind of pour-overs that make drip coffee seem like a distant bad dream, this is where caffeine meets craftsmanship.
Hair: More than 50% of women experience hair thinning at some point in their lives. Whether it’s stress, aging, hormonal shifts, or genetics, there are more solutions than ever for boosting healthy hair growth. Take this free quiz to explore your options.

Tucked among the towering oaks of Franklin Hills, this 5-bed, 5-bath stunner has a knack for surprising you at every turn. The sunroom opens right onto a backyard oasis, while a secret barn door reveals a guest suite with its own entrance, perfect for anyone who likes a grand entrance (or exit). Two living areas, a cozy library, and a dining room built for laughter make the first floor a social hub.
Upstairs, the primary suite is basically a spa day with walls, and the dedicated office is ready for your next big idea. Out back, the pool’s waterfall sets the mood, the built-in grill and TV keep the party going, and the mature landscaping means you’ll never run out of shade or scenery.
