The Village Spa: A Chic Constellation
Carrie Smoot considers herself to be one lucky woman, making a living as an independent stylist in the unique universe that is The Village Spa. Nestled in Bluffton’s cozy Bluffton Village, the atmosphere here is a bit like the chicest little girls’ playhouse occupied by…

JUNE 2012: Hello My Name Is FREDERICK CHISOLM
JUNE 2012: Mayors Drew Laughlin and Lisa Sulka
Here we are on sunny, delightful Hilton Head Island, enjoying a quality of life measured by a menu of amenities the envy of many. We enjoy a sense of security, peacefulness, and serenity. And that is good. At the same time, we live on a…
JUNE 2012: From The Editor - ¡Buenos días! ¿Cómo estás?
When I was given the choice of learning French or Spanish when I was just a teen in upstate New York, I suppose French should have been a more obvious choice, seeing I was in such close proximity to Canada. But no, I chose Spanish.…
JUNE 2012: A Line In The Sand - A Casino In Hardeeville
JUNE 2012: Letters To The Editor
READER RESPONSE: A Line in the Sand: Should English be the OFFICIAL language of the USA? I think there is a much more basic reason to make English the “official” language. There has to be a line in the sand with regard to the language that…
Kingfisher: Dinner And So Much More
The jovial, bronzed pelican rowing amidst a sea of oyster shells recalls a time 30 years ago when this restaurant was called Pelican Point. It was named for the pelicans you can still see on the sea wall across Broad Creek. Ten years later, it…
Golf Etc., Hilton Head's Game-Changer
As a rule, golfers have one arm that measures longer than the other. Now, I know a good deal about golf, but I did not know this interesting fact—until I met Chris Wycoff, owner of Hilton Head Island’s newest performance club fitting shop, Golf Etc.…
JUNE 2012: Golf Tips From a Pro - How To Make More Putts
When it comes to putting, almost all of today’s instruction has to do with the stroke mechanics: straight back/straight through, arcing strokes, taking twice as much follow-through as back swing, the list is endless. Yet, all of these things are secondary to what actually…
Funkey Monkey: A Most Stylish Treasure Chest
Walking into Funkey Monkey is like entering a mysterious pirate’s cave, where you sense at any moment that you might hear the caw of a parrot or the call of an excited monkey. As you open the lid to the pirate’s treasure chest, what you…
JUNE 2012: What You Need To Know About - Refinancing
Seems like every other piece of junk mail I get is a hyped up offer to refinance my current mortgage. “Refinance Now!” “Rates are at an historic low!” “Don’t miss out on this once and a lifetime opportunity!” As one who firmly believes that if…
Trust Your Food, Know Your Farmer
Eating healthy isn’t all that complicated. Just ask Holly Mlodzinski and Mary O’Neill who have it down to a simple science. Mlodzinski (pronounced Ma-jin-ski) is health promotions coordinator for the Hilton Head Hospital and a registered and licensed dietitian. O’Neill, who, in addition to being…
JUNE 2012: Our Town - 2012 I CAN Games: Hargray Helps CrossFit Hilton Head Give Back in a Big Way
When Craig Hysell opened CrossFit Hilton Head in April 2010, he had a mission that extended way beyond the simple ownership of a gym or a business. “My goal is and always will be to make everything outside the box better,” Hysell said. (CrossFit gyms…
JUNE 2012: Charity Corner - Locks of Love: Corks and Karma Collaborate
The idea for a singular act of charity grew from a self-described “pseudo mid-life crisis,” for Josh Luman, one of the owners of Corks Wine Co. Neighborhood Wine Bar. Off and on throughout his life, Luman has had ponytails and recently has been toying with…
WANTED: Bridesmaids & Groomsmen - A Job Description

JUNE 2012: Behind The Gates - Colleton River Plantation Club and Moss Creek
Ask the people who live there why they chose Colleton River Plantation Club, and they will probably give you one of two answers. It’s either the two elite golf courses or the natural beauty of the land and surrounding water. Since one begets the other,…

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY - June 17th, 2012
Elev8-ing Expectations
As anyone who has watched our treasured tourists knows, bicycling—a seemingly benign mode of transport that’s nearly as basic as walking—can have its challenges. Who hasn’t seen someone, clearly out of practice, come to a clumsy halt on a bike after searching frantically for the…
The Big B and the Stingers
Think of the most contradicting scenario you have ever been so lucky to encounter. Now imagine running into a massive, overjoyed, singing, cigarette smoking, whiskey-drinking bumblebee on a park playground slide, surrounded by a swarm of hyper seven-year-olds attacking his stinger while giddy mothers snap…
Wedding Bling!
Over the course of 35 years in business, Heritage fine jewelry has taken part in many engagements, although today it has become less traditional and more of a shared discussion. With so many options to choose from in diamond shapes and ring styles, sometimes the…
