Our smiles are found on the faces of some of the most high-profile people in the world — movie stars, music celebrities, professional athletes, and models... ...but you don’t have to be famous to enjoy the benefits that a beautiful, natural-looking smile can bring!

Come see why people from all walks of life choose us to enhance their smile “My experience with Dr. Wells and his staff was nothing except exceptionally perfect! With the intensive reconstruction that took place in my mouth, I was required to come periodically for visits to their office, and every visit was pleasant, warm, and welcoming. My teeth underwent an abundance of change that took patience, time, and diligence. Through every step of the process, Dr. Wells and his staff exceeded my expectations of what I thought the prep-less veneers process would be like. I am eternally grateful for the new quality of my smile, and I couldn’t be happier.”

One of the most extraordinary equestrian estates in Tennessee is just a short drive from Nashville in Murfreesboro. As you enter the gate, the mature tree-lined driveway and black four board fences direct you through one of the most extraordinary equestrian estates in Tennessee. With over 90 acres of meticulously maintained land, Five Peppers Farm sets the standard for a premier equestrian property. The farm features a covered riding arena, a 9 stall horse barn with an attached guest house plus a hay barn and farm office. The nearly 15,000 sqft estate home was thoughtfully designed by the owners and built by Chuck Mullins. The home overflows with western elegance and features unique custom design elements around every corner. From the reclaimed hardwoods and beams from an old Chicago building to the horses sketched in plaster above the stonework in the kitchen, this home has so much character you can’t help but admire the details. The outdoor living area is a true oasis with calming waterfalls around the pool, spa, and two outdoor kitchens. There is no expense spared in this truly one-of-a-kind equestrian retreat that is unrivaled in Middle Tennessee. Contact us today to arrange a private showing.

VOLUNTEER STATE (NOT JUST A NICKNAME)

Tennessee became known as the “Volunteer State” during the War of 1812 due to the key role played by volunteers from the Tennessee militia. Since then, after a tornado tore through the city and as the major catastrophe turned to recovery, thousands of volunteers deployed to aid in cleanup after a tornado tore through the city. Hundreds of volunteers gathered to clean up the town of Waverly and help the victims of the deadly flooding in Humphreys County. For more info go to Hon.org. CityLifestyle.com/Brentwood

GET BEST PET CARE RIGHT AT HOME

INSTEAD OF HAVING TO SPEND TIME TRAVELING TO A VETERINARY CLINIC AND THEN WAITING FOR THE APPOINTMENT, MOBIVET OFFERS THE CONVENIENCE OF HAVING PETS CARED FOR RIGHT IN THEIR HOMES. Established in 2019, the team serves Brentwood, Metro Nashville and Williamson County. “It’s less stressful for the pet,” says Mobivet marketing manager Lauren Wallace. “Also, if you have a 160-pound Great Dane who doesn’t want to go anywhere, you may or may not be able to get him into your vehicle.” 48

Brentwood Lifestyle | November 2021

One of the most common veterinary services offered in the home, Lauren explains, are annual visits that include dog and cat vaccines and wellness checkups, including blood work. “Our second most popular service is our in-home euthanasia because it’s a lot less stressful on the pets and on families. It makes it as easy as it can be for them,” she adds. Veterinarians Dr. John Laster and Dr. Cory Goodlett started Mobivet together and then brought Dr. Eric Fold on board. “Dr. Laster has a lot of experience with large breed animals (his wife raises Great Danes), Dr. Goodlett is very compassionate and has a lot of orthopedic experience, and Dr. Fold is ex-military and very precise and very organized in his work,” Lauren relays. Dr. Laster and Dr. Goodlett also own a veterinary clinic and can perform surgeries on the pets they normally care for in the home. Mobivet can transport the pet to and from their clinic or to other nearby clinics.

“If your pet is in need of emergency care, we will refer you to Nashville Veterinary Specialists or BluePearl Pet Hospital and try to get those appointments prioritized,” says Lauren. The Mobivet van carries some basic medicines, such as antibiotics, but if pets need something else, Mobivet also offers an online pharmacy. Notes Lauren, “We’re just like a normal veterinarian, and if we can’t get it done in the home, then we’re going to get it done by transporting your pet to a facility where it can be.” 833.662.4838 Mobivet.net

lemonade out of lemons HOW ONE YOUNG WIDOW TURNED HER GRIEF INTO JOY

LOSING SOMEONE WE LOVE IS PERHAPS THE HARDEST CHALLENGE WE WILL EVER FACE IN LIFE. If we’re lucky, we can comfort ourselves with the fact that the person lived a good long life. But what if that person was taken from us way too soon? How do we come to terms with the additional heartbreak that goes along with that grief? The answer for Mattie Jackson Selecman was to help others through their pain. A widow at 28, she never imagined losing the love of her life so young, and so soon after their marriage. “Ben was a very easy man to fall in love with,” says Mattie. “Just talking about him brings a smile to my face. He was one of those people who was just joyful and had a huge personality.” Ben Selecman, an assistant district attorney for Davidson county, was only 28 years old the day he fell and hit his head in 2018. That head injury proved fatal, and took place only 11 months into their marriage. “He always said he wanted to live life to the fullest, and the abundant life that God says we can live, and he really did in his own way in his 28 years,” she says. In order to cope with her grief, Mattie turned to her other love, writing. “My college degree is in writing and my dad is a songwriter and my mom wrote a book. So, it was natural for me to try to process my grief that way and everything I was having to face so unexpectedly.” ARTICLE SUE BALDANI PHOTOGRAPHY DETAILS NASHVILLE STYLED BY: THE SHOWROOM NASHVILLE 54

LEMONADE OUT OF LEMONS (CONTINUED)

Her father, Alan Jackson, is not just a songwriter, but one of the most successful country artists of all time. Her mother, Denise Jackson, is the author of It’s all About Him: Finding the Love of My Life and The Road Home. Mattie’s written outpourings of grief and hope have now been turned into a book. Lemons on Friday: Trusting God Through My Greatest Heartbreak, will be available on November 16 via Harper Collins. “Truthfully, I didn’t start out intentionally writing a book, but at one point I realized this could have power to help people who also feel crippled and stuck in their pain, in their tragedies and their losses,” says Mattie. What also gave her inspiration for sharing her story was another book that helped her cope. “I always loved C.S. Lewis and he wrote a small book called A Grief Observed after he lost his wife to cancer,” she says. “I was reading that pretty soon after Ben died and I had this very poignant moment when I thought, ‘Someone out there really knows what I’m feeling right now.’ “I felt so seen in that and it just put words to the chaos that I felt inside. So, I thought, what if my story and my heartbreak and hope and questions on paper can do for someone else what it did for me?” The title and subtitle of the book reflect her strong faith, and is what she attributes, along with her family and friends, to getting her through the worst of her grief. “Lemons on Friday was from a metaphor that came into my head,” says Mattie. “I remembered the saying to make lemonade out of lemons, and I remember feeling like what more bitter, sour, awful and unwanted thing could have happened to me and being helpless to make something good out of it. It’s about my journey of surrendering that bitter and sour tragedy to God and knowing he was the only one who could make it sweet. The Friday part is the acknowledgement that if we’re true believers we don’t really live on resurrection Sunday, but instead are living on crucifixion Friday, feeling helpless and wondering how long we’re going to have to hurt until our Sunday comes. “That’s the focus of the book. How can I be honest about the heartbreak and the pain I’m in, and how do I also hold tight to the fact that sweet days are coming, that Sunday is coming?” Some readers who preorder the book will gain access to Racing in the Dark, a song Mattie co-wrote with her father. “The song was very unexpected,” she says. “It wasn’t something I intended to do, but last fall at the very end of the most serious quarantine, I wrote the lyrics. I love writing but I had never written a song, so I sat down and wondered if I could. I thought it couldn’t be much different than writing poetry and I had grown up around music so I knew how songs were structured.” Racing in the Dark is a story of the loss of a marriage and one that is closest to her heart. “I wasn’t trying to write Ben’s and my story – it wasn’t CONTINUED >

LEMONADE OUT OF LEMONS (CONTINUED) about us – it was about a wife losing her husband and battling the desire to run away from the pain and then eventually having the strength to come back knowing that the only way she can begin to heal is not to run from but face the dark. “My instinct is to power through and stay busy and push down the pain, but the Lord has reminded me in very tough ways that you cannot do that.” Sharing her story and her talents is allowing her to heal her own pain, and hopefully that of others. “If I’m able in some small way through this book and my story being published to make someone who doesn’t have faith or who doesn’t have that support system feel like they’re not alone in their pain, then that’s my greatest hope.” Mattie is also helping people in another way. Two months after Ben died, she and Brooke Tometich launched NaSHEville, a company that designs and sells clothing, accessories, and more that also focuses on giving back to local nonprofits. “We wanted to do something that celebrated Nashville -- we’re Nashville natives -- and something that celebrated women in a way that was inclusive, positive and faith-based,” says Mattie. “We are a for-profit business, but we give back to nonprofits to support the people in these organizations doing the really hard work. We give them a percentage of all of our product sales, and before COVID, we did a lot of fundraisers for different nonprofits in town serving one of three missions. “Before Ben passed, he helped us build out our mission against human trafficking,” she says. “As an ADA for the Davidson County District Attorney’s Office, he worked a lot with the trafficking courts there and just had a heart for it.” The company also focuses on helping orphans and widows. When they first started working on NaSHEville, Mattie and Ben were married. The accident happened a month before they planned to launch so they pushed it back a little. All of sudden, Mattie found herself as the woman representing the widows in the company. “I’m so grateful to see that his death and all that I have been through help others get through their own hardships,” she says. “Helping others is the greatest way you can heal and bring joy back.”

THANKSGIVING INCLUDES HEAPS OF GIVING THANKS, WHETHER ONE COOKS OR NOT. But if the Thanksgiving holiday is a stressful time due to food preparation, there are ways to avoid the pressure of cooking. Have holiday meals catered by one of these Brentwood area restaurants, or get out of the house and have a delicious Thanksgiving meal in town. Please note that due to lingering COVID-19 pandemic situations, traditional meat and food items could be in fluctuating or short supply for this Thanksgiving. Many caterers and chefs that Brentwood Lifestyle spoke to encouraged Turkey Day diners to stock up or to secure early and freeze holiday fixings. Food and menu selections reportedly will be on a first come, first served basis. Regarding sitdown meals, remember that the open hours of some restaurants or cafes may be affected by staffing.

Highlights include the Waldorf salad, caramelized onion mashed potatoes, Charleston She-Crab bisque and bourbon pecan pie.

60 mph in 3.9 seconds. Splurge for the GT’s big brother, the e-tron RS, and that’ll give you 637 Hp and deliver you to 60 mph in 3.1. Some tests have achieved sub 3 second times. The e-trons chief rivals over at Tesla are even quicker in a straight line but there are two key things Tesla lacks: experience on a racetrack and a legacy of exquisite build quality. I noticed both of these things within the first few miles behind the wheel. The e-tron handles like a race car, not harsh and rigid, but balanced and precise. It inspires a huge amount of confidence right away. Second is the build quality, and trust me, the interior alone is worth the premium. Some are drawn to the spartan interiors of the Tesla brand but I don’t know anyone who likes their giant panel gaps and poor build quality standards. Audi has built luxury cars for a very long time and that is immediately apparent; the e-tron is a beautiful place to be. As we arrived back at Audi of Nashville, with our test complete, we took another walk around the car to admire its looks. Steve says, “I might have to get one of these.” If that’s how an R8 owner feels about the slower of the two e-trons, I can’t wait to try out the RS e-tron GT model.

When the show [The Bachelor] happened, our fundraising increased 500% within a year and that was awesome, but we also knew that it probably wasn’t going to last. So, during that time we asked ourselves how we can make funding this non-profit more sustainable, and we came up with the idea that we could start a for-profit business and call ourselves “for-purpose.” The founders were financially-able enough to sign off on donating 100% of our profits to non-profits, now that we had the platform to do it.

is it? Go after that. There’s a purpose for the life we are living and when people get out and care for others well the world is a better place.

Changing her outfits and earrings as often as she could, Arielle always was about creating. Even after her mother’s passing when she was 12 years old, Arielle continued to create, which led to designing and selling clothes and jewelry. Majoring in business and fashion design and coming from a “strong bloodline of entrepreneurs,” she admits she’d always intended on creating her own business.

LOCALLY OWNED (CONTINUED)

During an internship in New York City at Ralph Lauren, Arielle says she realized she missed the South. With Nordstrom opening a new location, she moved to Nashville to help open the store. She stayed on to style and sell, while creating her original pieces. Then she discovered candle making, and the stars and moon aligned! She began to sell her gorgeously scented and packaged candles online and at yoga studios. The mission of her candles is affirmation. They are hope; a literal beacon of light. The focus is on self-love, compassion and mental health. Arielle says the creation and naming of nellamoon in 2015 allowed her to do what she’s always wanted: Invent and build something “that we could do together,” referring to the inspiration her mother has been in her life. The name -- nellamoon -- is a heartwarming reference to Arielle’s mother, a combination of Arielle’s nickname and her mother’s favorite symbol. Arielle’s own positivity and exuberance met her business ideal head-on, with nellamoon as a force of good that contributes to many charities. Nellamoon is located in a charming white barn at 7305 Nolensville Road. Gift cards are available. 615.776.4244 nellamoon.com
