ABOUT US

PUBLISHER’S POST Marietta.

This is intended to be a statement - the confident answer to the question, “Where are you from?” or “Where do you live?” Marietta.

Hi! I love harvest time, don’t you? We’ve been working all summer to get this premier issue to press, and we are so excited to get to share it with everyone! My name is Nicole Shea, and I live in this wonderful city of Marietta, also once referred to as “The Gem City,” with my husband and two kids. I am new to the magazine business, but have a heart for getting to know the stories behind the fabulousness of this town.

MARIETTA MAGAZINE Associate Publisher Nicole Shea

Who are we? What is our vision for this new publication? We are a group of local writers, graphic designers, photographers, foodies and Marietta-lovers who are on a mission to help small communities thrive. To stay true to our name, we have a few rules - boundaries:

Editorial Contributors Laura Miller Beth Ward Courtney Clymer Mayor Steve Tumlin Trevor Beamon Dina Celentano Jenna Griffin

1. We will only write about Marietta people, places and things. If it doesn’t have a Marietta address, it won’t really fit our mission of being a local lifestyle magazine just for Marietta.

Production & Design Claire Murphy

2. We aren’t concerned with incorporated or unincorporated boundary lines or outdated ways of differentiating between north, south, east, and west Cobb - if you have a Marietta address then we think you’ll connect with our magazine.

3. We’re not a newspaper, and we won’t try to be because we wouldn’t be very good at it. We will focus on sharing the greatest local stories about festivals, philanthropy, local entrepreneurs, the arts and theatre, our history, new developments and everybody’s favorite: food and drink.

Our promise to you...to be interesting, creative and optimistic. We hope you enjoy reading all about Marietta and what makes it such a GEM! The November/December issue will be packed with our local holiday favorites, so be sure to subscribe TODAY! #locallife

MAYOR’S MINUTE

City of Marietta

MAYOR STEVE TUMLIN

Mayor’s Minute AS SUMMER BEGINS TO DRAW to an end, things are really starting to heat up. As we enter into September, our festival season really starts to ignite the Marietta Square.

The City and the Marietta Museum of History will host the 27th Annual Streetfest on the Marietta Square from September 15-16th followed by the City and the Marietta/ Cobb Museum of Art’s Annual Chalktoberfest from October 13-14th.

Additionally, on Thursday, August 31, we held a ribbon cutting for the most recent park facility, the Elizabeth Porter Park, which features a state-of-the-art playground and splashpad. The park's location is a site of local historical significance. During the era of segregation, African-American residents started a campaign that successfully fundraised, constructed, and operated the Cobb County Cooperative Negro Hospital with the support of the City of Marietta and the city's white residents. After the opening of Kennestone Hospital in 1950, the Cooperative Hospital

closed, and the building was repurposed as a recreation center.

The building remained in use for citywide residents until 2015.

While the building was demolished, the Marietta City Council chose to reflect this history via the use of public art within the new park. Visit us today to enjoy the both the park and the true history behind the neighborhood.

Finally, we look forward to the opening of the Marietta Square Market this fall. And remember there is always free parking at the City Hall parking deck and the Marietta Housing Authority for our Square visitors beginning Thursdays at 5pm and lasting through the weekend!

The Gem City How did Marietta come to be known as “The Gem City?”

By Trevor Beeman Executive Director - Cobb Landmarks & Historical Society When I first heard about a new magazine being launched in Marietta, I was thrilled. Marietta’s charm offers a variety of subjects to write about, but the thing that made me really excited was the name that had been selected – Marietta. The Gem City.

“The Gem City” is a phrase that may not mean much to most Mariettans today, but it has a long and interesting history with Marietta, and it deserves to make a comeback.

ered the Wild West. Life during the early years were strenuous. Marietta’s first druggist, William Root, wrote of the city when he first arrived in 1838: “I arrived in Marietta by stagecoach. It was not a very pretty place.” William later wrote that there was something about Marietta that he liked, and he decided not to leave. So, what changed? The simplest answer is that Western and Atlantic Railroad came, and with it came people.

Pioneer settlers first established Marietta in the 1830s. During the early years, Marietta was a bit of a rough and dirty place. It’s hard to imagine today, but, at the time, Marietta would have been consid-

Chartered in 1835, the first 20 miles of the Western and Atlantic Railroad went into service in 1842.

Attached to the first train was a boxcar containing merchandise destined for William Root’s drug

store. William later recalled that he was “proud of being the first merchant to get freight on the Western and Atlantic Railroad of Georgia.”

to describe Marietta, calling it “the little Gem City of Georgia.” The name stuck, at least for a while.

The 1840s and 1850s were a transformative time for Marietta. With the addition of the railroad, the pioneer village of the 1830s morphed into a thriving city, and was officially incorporated in 1852. Advertised as a resort community for travelers from the Georgia and South Carolina Lowcountry, business boomed and the population grew. Several fashionable hotels opened, including the Howard House, Marietta Hotel, and the Fletcher House. Dr. Cox’s Water Cure, a combined hotel and sanitarium, catered to visitors seeking the healing waters of local mineral springs. The addition of Cherokee Hall in 1851 offered a venue for traveling shows, concerts, dances, and live entertainment.

After a few decades, “The Gem City” was used less and less to describe Marietta. Eventually, new phrases and slogans were developed, and “The Gem City” began to fade into obscurity. Fast forward to the early 2000s when Cobb Landmarks & Historical Society is working to publish a book chronicling Marietta’s history through her historic homes. Written by Douglas M. Frey, and photographed by Jim DiVitale, the book highlights fifty historic Marietta houses, captured in 340 beautiful images. When it came to naming the book, there was a clear choice. It would be called Marietta: The Gem City of Georgia. The publisher’s decision to sub-title this publication with this tagline may help ensure The Gem City will live on.

Hoping to capitalize on the tremendous growth of the area during the second half of the 19th century, the Western and Atlantic Railroad developed a brochure in 1885 to advertise passenger schedules, and to describe the cities and attractions in the area. Joseph M. Brown, who later served as Governor of Georgia, was working for the railroad at the time. Serving as General Passenger Agent, he was responsible for creating content for the brochure. Brown decided to include a description of each city along the rail line. And while each description was kind and beautiful, he chose some special words

TREVOR BEEMAN Trevor began volunteering at Cobb Landmarks & Historical Society's Root House Museum at age 12 and later received a degree in American History from KSU. He has worked at Southern Museum of Civil War & Locomotive History, Atlanta History Center and returned to Marietta and Cobb Landmarks as Executive Director in 2014.

MANNING CABIN In May, the City Council approved a plan to relocate the Manning Cabin - An 875 sq. ft.

19th century log cabin, to the William Root House Museum property.

The cabin was originally located on Macland Road and was owned

by David Irwin, owner of Marietta’s historic Oakton home, during the 1850s. It was occupied by members of the Manning family during the Civil War. Donations to fund the project are accepted online. www.cobblandmarks.com.

Gem City Classic Craft Light Lager introduced by Red Hare Brewing Co. in 2018 to give a nod to its hometown, Marietta. (via www.redharebrewingco.com)

IN JANUARY, RED HARE BREWING COMPANY introduced its latest mainstay beer, Gem City Classic – the craft beer that’s just a “Hare” lighter. Roger Davis, Red Hare Founder and Managing Partner said, “I remember driving down to Atlanta with my parents as a child and seeing a sign on Highway 41 that said ‘The Gem City’ – it’s a reference to a classic nickname for Marietta.”

At the end of the 1800s, Marietta – which was expanding rapidly due to railroad construction – wanted to get travelers driving to Florida to stay the night in their beautiful city, and coined the name “Gem City” – a reference to it being a “gem” in the south. The nickname was so well-known that it even made its way onto Marietta Police uniforms - and now as the sub-title / tagline of Marietta Magazine!

Marietta Market Marietta Square Market is a planned 18,500 sq. ft. authentic warehouse redevelopment located at the Historic Marietta Square at 68 N. Marietta Pkwy offering an eclectic mix of specialty food purveyors, unique shops, and open gathering spaces. MSM’s plans indicate the project will create over 350 new parking spaces.

The design is themed as a train station, drawing from Marietta’s long locomotive history. One of the vendors would be located inside a restored 1922 curved side streetcar made to look like the ones that ran from Marietta to Atlanta in the 1930s and 40s.

Craft Beer Festival w/ Red Hare Brewing Co. | Sept. 14

THE WILLIAM ROOT HOUSE Museum & Garden is excited to announce a collection of beers uniquely crafted by Red Hare Brewing Co. with hops, fruit and herbs grown in its garden. This limited release of beers will only be available during the special beer tasting at the Root House Craft Beer Festival on September 14th.

The oldest home in downtown Marietta, the c. 1845 William Root House is one of the only wood frame structures in town to survive the Civil War. The home was owned

by Marietta’s first apothecary, William Root. William would have grown many medicinal plants for his pharmacy in his garden, including hops, which would have been used as an herbal medicine to assist with anxiety.

Cobb Landmarks and Historical Society has worked on our behalf to preserve local historic structures and cultural heritage for 40+ years.

CIVIL WAR GHOSTS Are still wandering the halls of Kolb’s Farm NOW IN ITS THIRD SEASON, The Lineup Podcast (www.the-line-up. com) has covered some truly creepy ground investigating mysteries around us. Our very own Kolb Farm made their Five Places Haunted by Civil War Ghosts. The ghostly echoes of America’s bloodiest war lingers right down the street, as described by the podcast team: About 1,000 Confederate soldiers and 300 Union soldiers lost their lives in the Battle of Kolb’s Farm,

fought near Marietta, Georgia. By Civil War standards, that makes it only a minor skirmish. The original farmhouse still stands, but it seems the restless dead prefer a more modern housing development called Kolb Ridge Court which was built on land that once belonged to the farm. At least three families in Kolb Ridge Court have discovered Civil War soldiers walking through their homes. One family even claimed that a ghost had moved into their guest room. www.mymariettalife.com | 15

MARIETTA’S Theatre

in the Square

36 Years of Some of the Top Performances in the Southeast

W

By Beth Ward

WHEN MARIETTA’S THEATRE IN THE SQUARE reopened nearly four seasons ago, there was no way to know how the city would respond. If the quality productions put on since then and the exceptional talent on and off the stage are any indication, though, Marietta needn’t worry— it’s looking like top-notch comedy and drama is going to be available for residents for many seasons to come.

Founded 36 years ago, Theatre in Square came under new leadership in 2015, and since then has reaffirmed itself as a place that supports the telling of stories reflective of the vibrant, diverse, thriving nature of the city surrounding it.

The theatre is currently gearing up for September’s Hispanic Heritage Month. From 9/6 to 9/15, it will offer multinight performances of shows like CU4ATRO MUJERES, a comedic drama that follows four women as they ruminate on such universal topics as youth and loneliness; and The Trouble with My Name, a 70-minute piece featuring the poetry, autobiography and humor of Javier Ávila, one that confronts the truths and difficulties of being a Latino citizen in a changing political climate.

“They’ll be the first ever Marietta shows performed totally in Spanish with English subtitles,” says owner, Raul Thomas.

Theatre in the Square’s end-of-the-year lineup will include Four Old Broads by Leslie Kimball about a retired burlesque star, a tribute to Aretha Franklin and the Charles Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol.

Artistic director, N. Emil Thomas is also gearing up for the theatre’s 2019 season, packed with shows like Raisin in the Sun and Othello, and dynamic performances of The Mountaintop, a poignant tale about the last night of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s, and The Gift of the Magi 2.0, an adaptation of O. Henry’s classic that takes place during the 1950 Atlanta Transit Strike.

The next season includes a spring golf tournament and theater summer camps for kids, teens, and young adults, too – further proof that the new Theatre in the Square is more than just a place to catch a show. It’s a community space that fosters a love of the arts and the telling of compelling, diverse stories about the human experience. www.theatreinthesquare.net www.mymariettalife.com | 17

Pictured: Jessi Queen is a local chalk artist participating in 2018 Chalktoberfest.

SHE WAS FASCINATED BY THE AMOUNT of talent that was exhibited on the streets of Sarasota, Florida for their Chalk Festival, so Executive Director of Marietta Cobb Museum of Art Sally MacCaulay immediately knew she had to bring that to Marietta. So she did.

In the years since, Chalktoberfest has grown to become an international chalk artist festival featuring chalk artists from all over the world and fulfilling the MCMA’s mission of “Building Community through Art.” In 2015, Sally and her team creatively added craft beer and live music solidifying Chalktoberfest at the Marietta Square as one of the Southeast’s favorite Fall weekend events, winning “Event of the Year” through Cobb Travel and Tourism, as well as “Mayor’s Art Award” from City of Marietta Mayor Steve Tumlin.

Attendees will enjoy an afternoon sampling craft beers and wines, listening to live music from local artists, watching professional chalk artists chalk the streets and eating great food at the Square. Free to attend, all proceeds generated that weekend go to the Marietta Cobb Museum of Art. Over 75 local, regional, national and international chalk artists will delight us in the streets with their work,

including Jessi Queen - a local chalk artist and website designer living in Atlanta. Jessi started chalking at the SCAD Sidewalk Arts Festival in 2007, receiving Honorable Mention, while she was a just a high schooler.

Queen introduced her husband Zach Herndon to the medium in 2012, and they have been chalking together ever since. In 2013, she was asked to be a featured artist at the Marietta Chalk Festival and later she and Zach created the Atlanta Chalk Art Festival.

The Chalktoberfest Craft Beer Festival features over 125 beers from local and regional breweries, including Marietta’s Red Hare Brewing Co and cider from Marietta’s Treehorn - as well as over 25 varieties of wine.

DIY Fall Arrangements

By Jenna Griffin | Gold & Bloom Floral Design Instagram: @GoldandBloom | www.GoldandBloom.com

A

AUTUMN IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SEASON for flowers and fall foliage, so what better way to celebrate this season than designing your own floral arrangement?

STEP 1: Collect your flowers and foliage. For a medium arrangement, you need several pieces of greenery and short branches with colorful leaves. At the farmer’s market, gather at least twelve blooms. I also like to incorporate unexpected pieces such as vegetables or fruits like pomegranate, blackberries, or whatever you can get your hands on.

STEP 2: Find the right vessel. Choose a vase or vessel that fits your table and isn’t too tall.

I like to choose vessels that have a 4 inch-5 inch wide opening. You can use a cereal bowl, mason jar, footed bowl vase, or even an old vegetable can. Think outside the box!

Fill the vessel with water, and lattice the top with waterproof tape. This will help hold stems in place as you design.

Rich colors and textures can be found in your very own backyard and farmer’s market. By mixing pieces of foliage from your own yard with locally grown fall flowers, you’ll create a very unique design for your table. Whether you’re creating for yourself or blessing a friend with a pretty floral arrangement, you’ll have so much fun!

What you’ll need: floral shears, waterproof tape, vase, fresh flowers and foliage from your backyard or farmer’s market.

20 | September/October 2018

STEP 3: Begin your design! Start with the foliage and greenery to create the shape of your arrangement. Cut each stem at a diagonal before placing it into the vase, while making sure that no leaves are touching the water. Then, add in the blooms to create a colorful and lush design. Create depth by placing flowers at different heights. Finish it off with any fruited stems and more foliage to fill any empty spaces.

Now, enjoy your creation! Over the next several days, replace the water with fresh cold water, clip off any wilting blooms, and keep out of direct sunlight and heat.

This will extend the life of your arrangement. #JG

Seeking Purpose

through the Pain

National Conference & Recovery Expo September 26 - 28 Marietta Hilton Hotel www.buildingcommunitiesofrecovery.org

After losing their son, the Owen Family went on a mission to bring the medical communities, recovery communities and families together and have produced real hope.

ON MARCH 4th, 2014, THE OWEN FAMILY received the tragic news that their son, Davis Owen, had been found dead in his car due to a suspected heroin overdose. Overwhelmed with grief, the Owen family knew their world was forever changed.

“Davis was the oldest son of five children, and was a brilliant, beautiful, and compassionate child,” says his Mom, Missy Owen. He loved unconditionally and sought to make others happy. He was overcome with stress in his life and turned to opiates in the family medicine cabinet to address his painful and sleep-deprived existence. He was president of his senior class, Hall of Fame in his high school, a chosen leader, an honor student, and an awesome friend to all who knew him.”

substance use disorder: prevention, education, advocacy, harm reduction and recovery.

The conference will be held at the Marietta Hilton Hotel September 26 - 28. Not your average conference, there will be plenary sessions with national speakers sharing unprecedented research and solutions that apply to all facets of recovery. This conference provides a unique opportunity to learn about innovative ideas and show there is hope for the advancement of recovery oriented systems of care. Learn so much more here: www.thezonegeorgia. com, www.buildingcommunitiesofrecovery.org; www.davisdirection.org.

Weeks after Davis’ death, the Owen family sought purpose in their pain when they followed God’s lead and began raising funds to “Fight Addiction and Fuel Recovery.” They learned that drug overdose is the leading cause of accidental death in our nation, and that traditional solutions are not working.

Nine out of 10 opioid users will relapse after leaving rehab. So the Owens’ decided their focus was to be on providing effective aftercare. As a result, The Zone, Cobb County’s first community recovery support organization opened its doors September 2016. In two years, The Zone has become a model for successful recovery support which can be replicated in other communities.

Davis’ mother Missy - as CEO of the Davis Direction Foundation, has endeavored to make this first National Conference and Recovery Expo a reality; a powerful tool to inspire those working in recovery fields and those whose loved ones are personally affected - to “Build a Community of Recovery.” The Foundation is a nonprofit organization formed to focus on five priority areas addressing www.mymariettalife.com | 21

A couple tosses a medicine ball back and forth during squats. A lady well into retirement age is doing unassisted pushups. A young woman is doing handstand pushups while her friend does burpees (with a smile on her face!). And a kid that admittedly spends most of his time in front of a computer screen is leaping through the air to high-five his mom across the room before being pulled back to center. Harnessed securely to a resistance bungee, they are all having fun while getting fit.

Located just West of the Marietta Square on Whitlock Avenue, Studio Bungee offers weightless training to increase muscle tone and mobility while improving flexibility and balance. Says founder Christal McNair, whose back has been 80% fused since her teen years, “Truly, if I can do it, anyone can!” Classes and membership plans for all fitness levels are available.

What’s their secret?

HOUSE OF LU

W

When small business owners have been in business as long as Cindy Lu Tam and Johnny Tam, owners of House of Lu in Marietta Square, we assume they must have some special secret ‘recipe’ that magically makes this venerable 22-year-old establishment a success.

So what is their secret? The secret is Mamma Lu, the matriarch of this restaurant. It’s her traditional Chinese and Vietnamese recipes that have been feeding generations of Marietta residents. Though still a fixture at the restaurant, Mamma Lu has entrusted her recipes to Cindy and Johnny. “It’s very heartwarming to have customers who have grown up with our food, bring in their own children to enjoy and grow up on our food,” says Mamma Lu. Tucked behind The Strand Theatre, the restaurant went through a renovation in 2014 with Marietta’s own interior designer, Cassandra Buckalew, revealing two stunning 34’ long murals, walls with antique tea pots and Chinese combination locks, and a circular bar. The restaurant’s design incorporates Feng Shui, a Chinese interior design philosophy that promotes the flow of “good energies.” With this renovation, Vietnamese cuisine, such as pho and banh mi, were added to their menu. As a Chinese-Vietnamese family originally from Vietnam, these two comfort food staples have always been at Mamma Lu’s dinner table. Cindy Lu Tam had been longing to introduce her Vietnamese cuisine to Marietta. The renovation was her chance to do so.

The pho, a Vietnamese rice noodle soup, consists of slow cooked beef broth, herbs, and your choice of protein – chicken, beef or shrimp. If beef isn’t your cup of tea, they have a very popular homemade tofu and vegetable pho.

24 | September/October 2018

Additionally, there are four different banh mi’s to choose from. For the traditionalists, they have a barbecue pork and a special pate/ham banh mi. For the fusion modernist, there is Johnny’s chicken or tofu banh mi which melds Vietnamese with Chinese cuisine and is only served in house. All banh mi’s are topped with cilantro, and pickled daikon/carrots.

Notably, it’s the Chinese cuisine, that has cemented House of Lu into the hearts of regional diners. With over 100 different dishes ranging from sweet, spicy, salty, and savory, there is something for the most discerning of palates. The so-named Everyone’s Favorite String Beans and Eggplant Triple, consisting of shrimp, chicken, and beef really is everyone’s favorite.

Or simply go with Mongolian Beef, Coconut Shrimp, or General Chicken, and you’ll immediately understand why they have been in business for over two decades.

Enjoy your meal with a hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind cocktail like the Don’t Hanoi Me or the East Meets West, Lu’s version of an Old Fashioned made with ginger liqueur, bitters, bourbon and sake. Johnny also makes a Lemon Drop Martini to die for.

To top it all off, House of Lu has been named one of Alton Brown’s places to dine. The Food Network star, previous host of Iron Chef America and Cutthroat Kitchen, author of eight books, regular columnist of Zagat, and James Beard Award recipient, confidently listed House of Lu as one of his top six lunch spots in Atlanta! With thousands of restaurants to choose from, he always comes back for Mamma Lu’s authentic cooking.

House of Lu is located at 89 Cherokee Street behind The Strand Theatre in the Marietta Square.

Marietta’s College & Career Academy This public / private partnership project for Marietta’s high school students will have other school districts in Georgia realizing they need one too!

W

WHEN THE TECHNICAL COLLEGE SYSTEM OF Georgia awarded Marietta City Schools a $3.1M grant for a College and Career Academy late last year, momentum picked up with the project; and while students were on summer break, collaboraters broke ground on its $12 million facility, set to open in early 2020. The remaining $9 million had been raised by the community through E-SPLOST funds.

In 2015, community leaders, business owners, college professors and students gathered to discuss ways to better prepare students for real life beyond high-school.

Graduating seniors had only two options available to them: go directly into the workforce (unprepared) or go to college; however, the only path schools had been preparing students for was the academic/college route.

Marietta’s Career Pathways Director Tim Brown explained that local business owners felt students were graduating high school with no workplace skills. Those who chose not - or weren’t able - to go to college were short-changed by the current system, unprepared for success.

Marietta High’s CCA is fortunate to have a partnership

30 | September/October 2018

agreement with four post-secondary colleges and universities, each serving as equal partners: Chattahoochee Technical College, Georgia Highlands College, Kennesaw State University, and Life University.

Students will continue to obtain traditional high school diplomas. New programs; however, will include construction management, automotive sciences, aerospace and engineering, healthcare and bioscience, and information technology - and offer certifications for various trades.

“Marietta College & Career Academy will inspire students to ignite their passions, cultivate their innate abilities, and connect them with workplace opportunities to employ their unique talents,” said Grant Rivera, Superintendent of Marietta City Schools.

Marietta’s Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education Director Tim Brown - who led this initiative - explained our one-size-fits-all education model needed to change into one that truly prepares students for careers and jobs and added, “Marietta is poised to debunk the myth that college and career are separate paths to success.”

RE-THINK

BOMBER JACKETS FALL IS MY FAVORITE SEASON for fashion - the versatility of layering pieces and shoe choices, from jackets to vests, or boots to flats, offer lots of chjoices. A bomber jacket is a terrific transition piece in September when it’s not summer anymore but it’s not consistently cool either. In fashion terms, a “bomber jacket” is simply an adjective to describe the length, cut and style of these particular layering pieces, which can be flirty and feminine!

WE ALL WANT TO LOOK AND FEEL OUR BEST this Fall, which means we need to get serious about our skin. Here are some of my favorites products: 1. Exfoliation | Dermologica Daily Superfoliant - $59 Skin will feel silky smooth and any treatment products will work better with this must-have-favorite product. Make-up goes on flawlessly. >> Med Spa of Wm

Kincer, DMD PC, Hand &

2. Foundation Primer | Too Faced Hangover Primer - $34 Stone, LaVida Massage I love this primer because it hydrates, smooths and brightens skin for a dewy, healthy looking glow. >> Ulta 3. Concealer | IT Cosmetics/ Bye Bye Under Eye - $26 The name says it all! This is a full-coverage, waterproof, anti-aging concealer.

Be sure to allow eye cream settle before applying concealer. >> Ulta 4. Strobing or Highlighting | Smashbox Spotlight Palette in Pearl - $35 You can fake your glow! Apply the lightest tone with a fan brush at the top of the cheekbone. I also use a smaller shadow brush and dab a little on the inner corner of the eye. I mix the two shimmery tones to add a little glam just under the lighter shade. >> Sephora; Ulta , Macy’s 5. Eyeshadow Pallette | Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam $42 >> Sephora; Ulta I have fallen in love with this palette. It has all the fall foliage colors, as well as shades for more neutral looks, and also offers shades with a bit of “wow” for evenings out. These shadows have great pigment, so a light touch application is best. We can always add more, right? And we can’t forget the primer!

Fall Lips | Matte lip colors are still a trend. I am not a big fan of matte, as it shows all the vertical lines in our lips, making us look older. To help with this, we can apply a gloss on over the top of it to blur out any of these lines.

NAME STORY?

We asked local business owners how they came up with the names for their businesses. We loved their answers! If you’re a local (Marietta) business with a unique story behind your name, please submit it to us at www.mymariettalife.com/rose

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

Clementine Creative Agency | 123 Church St/30060 Ready to get your creative juices flowing? That was the main message founding partners Jennifer Nilsson and Merissa Davis wanted to communicate when they opened their boutique marketing and creative agency. A juicy clementine seemed to be the perfect fit! They created an orange-splashed logo and mascot and played on words like Vitamin C (C for creative). Their fruity mascot has taken on a personality of her own, being featured in a variety of playful web and social media campaigns, an award-winning ‘Year of the Clementine’ calendar and the ’13 Clementines of Halloween’ concept. www.clementinecreativeagency.com Marietta Magazine’s pick:

Little Red Bird Gifts | 1300 Ernest W Barrett Pkwy When Holly Hachman finally realized her dream of opening a gift shop, she and her husband Matt tried to come up with the right name. A series of small things led her to the name Little Red Bird Gifts. When Holly was six months pregnant, her father passed away. During the pregnancy, her mother predicted the baby would be born with red hair, even though red hair did not run in their family. But her mother was right; and they named the little red-headed baby boy ‘Jackson.’ Along the same red theme, she had always known her father loved cardinals; and each time she would see one she felt her father was sending her a message of love. As she was coming up with the name for her business, it seemed cardinals were showing up everywhere! Holly had an epiphany - then named her shop ‘Little Red Bird Gifts,’ in honor of her late father and her red headed son. www.littleredbirdgifts.com The Spirit of Dance | 931 Whitlock Ave/30064 Several years before Lisa O’Sullivan started her company, she had felt a calling to express the love of God with children and teach them that dance is a gift from God. When the opportunity arrived, she knew this was the way to share the spirit of dance through God with others. Hence, “The Spirit of Dance!” With her own business, she wanted to be sure she would teach in churches and use the freedom to use Christian music in her work. After 15 years, Lisa feels “abundantly blessed to teach in multiple churches and in our studio in Marietta.” www.thespiritofdance.com Olea Oliva | 4475 Roswell Rd/30062 “Olea” is a genus of about 40 species in the family Oleaceae, native to warm temperate and tropical regions of southern Europe, Africa, southern Asia and Australia. They are evergreen trees and shrubs, with small, opposite, entire leaves. The fruit is a drupe. Leaves of Olea contain Tricho sclereids. For humans, the most important species is by far the Olive (Olea europaea), native to the Mediterranean region, Africa, southwest Asia and the Himalayas. “Oliva” is the word for olive in Catalan, Spanish, and Italian. Owner Smita Daya felt the name clearly fit as the best choice for her and her husband’s business at Avenues at East Cobb. www.oleaoliva.com

Hoyle’s Kitchen + Bar 1440 Roswell Rd/30062 THE IVEY FAMILY WAS renowned in Marietta, and none as much as George Hoyle Ivey, the grandfather of Joe and Sam Ivey, developers and property managers of Hoyle’s Kitchen + Bar in East Marietta.

Years ago, Hoyle Ivey created one of the first farm-to-community retail stores to bring agriculture to the city, which was nicknamed “Milk Jugs.” His passion for community and bringing people together drives Hoyle’s K+B team’s energy and restaurant concept. The name is a tribute to their family, and partially their way of writing another chapter in the Ivey family history. Historic, wholesome, and approachable.

Hoyle’s Kitchen & Bar is a contemporary, chef-driven, sports-watching eatery, with a full-service craft beer and cocktail program. Learn more: www.hoyleskitchenandbar.com.
