Millennials: How to Avoid Dating Burnout
Days before I met the love of my life, I was on the brink of dating burnout. I had been on and off dating apps for more than five years at that point. After thousands of swipes, hundreds of matches, dozens of dates, and a couple of unsuccessful relationships, it was all starting to feel overwhelming and impossible.
Island Winery: The journey continues with new facility under construction
Dreams have a funny way of finding us and are often hatched in unexpected places.

Living After the Death of a Spouse
For Connie Cappy, grief struck like an unexpected explosion. âJohn and I were married 34 years. He was 60 years old and in exceptional health. One Saturday, John golfed with his buddies in the morning, then later that afternoon started having chest discomfort and profuse sweating,â she said.

The Fate of Single Women: Startling Examples from World History
Liberty is a better husband than love to many of us,â wrote Louisa May Alcott, author of the great American novel Little Women, in her journal entry for Valentineâs Day 1868. Alcott remained single all her life, as did Susan B. Anthony (social reformer and suffragette), Clara Barton (founder of the Red Cross), and Coco Chanel (iconic fashion designer).
Editor’s Note: February 2020
This issue covers three of my favorite topics: pets, Star Wars, and an ode to the single life. Itâs a love letter to myself. Just kidding. But not kidding.
The Flavors of Family
In the fine Italian tradition, Carrabbaâs welcomes you to the table like youâre one of their own.
Jeepers, Creepers, Whereâd Ya Get Those Peepers? Bluffton Lash Lounge, of course!
Since the days of Cleopatra, rudimentary eyelash embellishments, often concocted of sticky, smelly substances, were a part of womenâs beauty rituals. In 1872, French perfumer Eugene Rimmel did us all a favor when he invented the worldâs first commercially available mascara made from petroleum jelly and coal dust. Well, ladies, weâve come a long way!
On Your Side: Attorney Beth Prince has a knack for telling your story
Every person has a story to tell. And when it comes to sensitive family matters that must be settled by law, hiring an attorney who listens to, hears, and believes your story is the first step towards a positive resolution. But, itâs how your attorney tells your story that is key to the final outcome, and thatâs why you want Beth Prince on your side.

âThis is the Wayâ Actress Emily Swallow embraces The Mandalorian mantra
The last six months have seen Emily Swallow juggle not one but three major TV roles, portraying characters as diverse as a research physiologist in CBSâ Seal Team, Godâs sister in Supernatural and âThe Armorerâ in The Mandalorian, Disneyâs smash hit Star Wars spinoff. Here, the Jacksonville-born actress shares why she swapped a career in the Foreign Service for the unpredictability of an actorâs life and explains why she has never looked back.
A Christmas Kitten
Most of us know what it feels like to fall in love with a special pet. For seven-year-old Katie Ferguson, that intrinsic connection between human and animal was found at Palmetto Animal League (PAL) three weeks before Christmas. Fast forward to December 25 and imagine Katieâs overwhelming joy when her family discovered a letter under Santaâs cookie plate, explaining his gift of a Christmas kitten!

The Single Life
This month, we recruited local singles to model looks from our Lowcountry boutiquesâand had them share their thoughts on their idea of a perfect first date, what traits are deal-breakers, and how dating has changed since the dawn of the digital age.
5 Drinks with: Dr. Curtis Hennessey
For 25 years, Dr. Curtis Hennessey has been the face of veterinary medicine on the island. Since setting out his shingle, heâs seen cats and dogs and animals of all stripes (not to mention spots).
Beyond the many domestic animals that call the island home, heâs served as the long-time caregiver for Beaufort Countyâs trained dogsâand recently, one highly infamous opossum.
Before that, he was an Army brat who has lived everywhere from Thailand to Egypt and nearly everywhere in between, cultivating a love of animals at every stop. In honor of our pet issue, we sat down with Hilton Headâs answer to Dr. Doolittle to talk shop.
Inspiration for the Heartbroken: Meet Danielle Daily, host of The Suddenly Single Show
In 2015, when Danielle Daily came home from a yoga class to find divorce papers taped to her front door, she was thrust into a new way of living. âI found myself suddenly single when, after years of an unhappy marriage, my husband decided to go forward with a divorce,â Daily said. âI never thought that would actually happen.
Even though I knew I wanted a better marriage, I always thought we loved each other so much as people (even though we werenât great as partners), that somehow we would figure it out. And I was sort of raised in that cultural soup of anything worth having is worth working for. I worked really hard for this marriage and thought eventually it was going to be amazing.â
