In The Neighborhood by Mandy Haynes

Financial Consulate

Drew Tignanelli, owner of Financial Consulate, has lived most of his life in Baltimore and Annapolis, Maryland. “Being a Personal Wealth and Tax Advisor, I’ve often recommended clients move to Florida, so I finally took my own advice. Amelia Island is the perfect place for my wife, who loves ocean towns. We love a change of temperature, and everyone in the community is gracious, kind, and welcoming,” says Drew. “My main office, with twenty-three employees, is still in Hunt Valley, Maryland, while I build an Amelia Island office.”

Financial Consulate believes you deserve a solid financial plan that supports your values and goals. “The firm I built is not about selling products to people, but instead is passionate about comprehensive advice with a focus on Income Tax and Estate Tax Planning. I believe the tax laws of our country have become burdensome and unfair to the majority of Americans, and I greatly enjoy helping people reduce their tax burdens. The tax laws work only for those who either pay no tax or the ultra-wealthy. Those in the middle end up carrying the load of taxation.

“We are fee-only, we don’t offer commission products, we are independent rather than part of brokerage or insurance company, we’re highly-educated and credentialed, and we always operate as fiduciaries for our clients. We differentiate ourselves with our trademark Financial Physical®, which we do to demonstrate what a professional Financial Advisor should do for their clients.” For more information, visit www.financialconsulate.com to see how they can help you.

Amelia Hair and Therapy Spa

Brenda Cummings has been styling clients for over thirty years. “I opened my business, Amelia Hair Therapy, in 2018, but I expanded into Amelia Hair and Therapy Spa in October last year when I had the opportunity to purchase suites 101 H and I at The Village Center at Gateway to Amelia,” says Brenda. Originally from Independence, Kansas, Brenda moved to the area in 1994. Like so many others who find themselves here, Brenda fell in love with the beauty of the island. “The best part about Amelia Island is the ocean. It’s so relaxing and beautiful.” Her three dogs, Gigi, a chihuahua, Lala, a Boston terrier, and Lulu, a miniature dachshund, agree.

Amelia Hair & Therapy Spa is the place to go when you want to treat yourself to a great mini-escape. Not only do they offer a wide arrange of hair and beauty services, but they also offer a whole-body rejuvenation with massage and red light therapy. “The most rewarding part of my job is making people feel better about themselves inside and out. I feel I’m able to accomplish that through their hair and through one of my new features that I offer at the salon. It’s called the Prism Red Light Therapy bed, which has so many benefits such as anti-aging, weight loss, joint pain, and aids in reducing inflammation.”
