Due to her expert accessorizing skills, Elizabeth Demos and her vintage-style weddings and events have been featured in magazines such as Southern Living, Better Homes and Gardens. Lucky for local brides, her home base is right here in the Lowcountry.

Creating a memorable vacation is all about the right balance between planning and cutting loose, and skiing is no different. If our Beech Mountain article in the Health and Wellness Issue got your inner ski bunny revving, here are five helpful hints for making the most of your trip:

It’s hard to beat Savannah for a nice, long run. Our city has everything a runner needs with good weather, beautiful scenery, great athletic resources, and a list of races to choose from almost every weekend. And now Savannah runners have what they’ve dreamed of for a long time: a marathon to call their own!

Maintaining a healthy home and family, no matter the shape, size or color, is hard. Throw in the challenge of helping a young child feel comfortable in a completely foreign country with a brand new family and you’ll see that these locals have taken a lot on their shoulders. But the families are finding that the greatest tests also come with the greatest rewards.

Details magazine and a handful of other media outlets have recently come out with articles about the rise of religion in major cities around the country, a phenomenon made evident by the flocks of trendy youngsters who spend their Friday nights at hours-long sermons and who dub church the best place to find a date.

Addiction is one of the most pervasive forms of social dysfunctional behaviors society contends with on a daily basis. The use of illicit drugs is increasingly widespread and its impact is not restricted to any particular ethnicity, social class or age group. An estimated 20 million Americans aged 12 or older are current users of an illicit drug, representing 8.5 percent of the population. The estimated economic cost of substance abuse in the United States exceeds a staggering half a trillion dollars per annum, including the costs of health care, drug-related crime and losses in productivity. This figure includes costs of approximately $181 for illicit drugs, $168 billion for tobacco and $185 billion for alcohol. It’s a significant, ongoing and costly problem that can affect just about anyone. These are the stories of those who have been affected by addiction and how they eventually found hope.
