DO YOU HEAR IT? The beckoning, the calling of the mountains? The fresh cool air? The vibrant colors of the changing leaves? The call seems to get stronger as autumn begins to envelope the south. Here at Evans Lifestyle, we hear it loud and clear!

Evans Lifestyle | September 2020

As we examine a map, our eyes land on the mountains of Gatlinburg, Tennessee. A half day’s drive from Evans, this scenic destination offers an array of adventures, fine dining experiences, gorgeous scenery, and ample opportunities for relaxation. “Gatlinburg is a great place to visit,” says Edie Kinson of All About Trucks & Autos. “We love renting a big cabin and taking family and friends. There is so much to do in Gatlinburg, like enjoying a day of hiking to see waterfalls or tubing down the river.” The area offers a wide variety of hiking and scenic trails that vary in intensity and length. To add a bit of history and wildlife to your outdoor excursions, consider spending the day at nearby Cades Cove. “Visiting Cades Cove is our tradition,” adds Edie. “It is an untouched valley that was home to numerous settlers and all types of wildlife.”

WHEN IT COMES TO BUYING AND SELLING, NANCY POWELL HAS HER OWN STYLE ARTICLE MICHELLE W. PARNELL PHOTOGRAPHY KIMMY RAY-BARTON

Evans Lifestyle | September 2020

“TO SELL OR BUY A HOUSE, YOU HAVE TO PUT AN AWFUL LOT OF TRUST IN YOUR REALTOR,” SAYS NANCY POWELL, REALTOR-BROKER AND CEO OF POWELL & ASSOCIATES, INC. “If they are a buyer, they are trusting me to help them make one of the largest purchases of their lifetime. With selling, they are trusting me with the big purchase they have made - to make sure it gets sold. I take the responsibility that has been given to me by my buyers and sellers very seriously and DINING ROOM

grow it.” Although Powell & Associates is currently in the process of rebranding, Nancy stresses that “while it may be revamped and rebranded, it still stands on its foundation of great service and having the highest integrity.”

“I am big on personalization and customizing every experience I have with each client that I serve. There are processes I follow, but they aren’t cookie-cutter for everyone,” explains Nancy. “Different people are selling or buying for different reasons, so I have to be sensitive to that and adjust how I handle everything based on the specific circumstance.” As an active citizen of the CSRA, Nancy works in several areas to help build the community. Currently, Nancy is an ambassador on the Augusta Metro Chamber of Commerce, board member of Augusta Metro Chamber of Commerce Women in Business committee, and Vice President for Augusta University Alumni Summerville Society. Evans Lifestyle had the privilege of exploring a beautiful, custom-built, luxury home in Evans with Nancy, getting her inside perspective on the home’s elegant features. “It’s the coziest 11,000-square-foot home you will ever find,” says Nancy. “It’s very inviting and welcoming. Everything was done with spending quality time with family and friends in mind.” Entering the dining room, Nancy says, “Even though the dining room is exceptionally large, with a special-made table to seat 20, it still feels warm and homey and like family. It’s not pretentious. You can envision the family sitting around the table for Thanksgiving and Christmas.” Nancy’s eyes light up as she steps into the office. “This office is a treasure trove of history,” she says. “I could stay in here for hours just looking at everything. This would be a pleasure to work in!” The large wine cellar and tasting room, paired with the expansive outdoor living, kitchen, and pool area, provide abundant space for entertaining and relaxing. But at the end of the day, the intimate kitchen and family room serve as the heart of the home. “It’s a place where the family can gather and enjoy one another.” “The home is impeccable, with outstanding design elements found in every nook and cranny,” says Nancy. “It’s welcoming and cozy, and you don’t realize you’re in such a large house - which I think is genius.” When it comes to your perfect home, it all depends on what you’re looking for, and Nancy knows how to find it.

Did you know that vitamin A is also imperative for skin health? So while you’re caring for your corneas, you’re also boosting your outer glow. If you want to kick it up a notch, be intentional about eating plenty of foods with omega-3 fatty acids to reduce acne and inflammation and help your skin produce its own collagen. For your healthy fats, go for flax seed, walnuts, chia seeds, and fish.

For soft, flowing tresses, make sure you’re getting an equal amount of B vitamins in your diet. We naturally get plenty of B-6 because it’s in most grains, but it’s easier to end up with a biotin or B-12 deficiency if you don’t pay attention. Focus on foods like salmon, eggs, spinach, and broccoli for a healthy balance of B vitamins for your hair.
