South Carolina simply has the best peaches. “Did you know that South Carolina actually outranks Georgia – “The Peach State” – in its production of peaches? During a normal year, South Carolina grows […]
Summer – the season of the dress. No matter what the occasion, there is always one that is the perfect fit. Apricot Lane has a fantastic selection to pick from – no matter how dressy or casual you need! The best part is not a single one will break the bank. Which in my book […]

Had enough #5Mayomargaritas to last you a few weeks? Same. It’s time to shift to the best excuse to marry two of scoop’s favorite things in a glass = summer’s beautiful seasonal produce, and wine.

If you’re anything like we are at Scoop, you’re probably trying hard to look and feel your best. You might be juicing a few times a week (or stopping at a juice bar) and working out almost every day. You also probably have your skincare routine down – retinols, antioxidants and of course, sunscreen! However, […]
If you’ve ever had a nasty sunburn, you have probably relied on aloe vera gel to relieve your pain. You might even have an aloe vera plant in your home. Well, you probably wouldn’t think so to look at one, but you can actually drink the juice from an aloe plant! Aloe vera juice is just […]

Nestled right off of Hwy 115 in Cornelius, D9 has been around since 2013, but just recently moved to this location. D9 Brewing Co. is open 5 days a week. Every guest is treated to an experience where […]
The first day of Spring is less than a week away – but who’s counting? I know I’m ready to put away my sweaters and knee-high boots and make the transition to maxi dresses, cardigans, and peep-toes. My wardrobe isn’t the only thing that gets a makeover in warmer weather. I also trade in my […]
