It was completely meant for me to visit ScentTok in Johns Creek! After a client cancelled on me last minute, I realized I just happened to be a block away from the very place whose posts have been flooding my social media timeline for weeks. This made it the perfect opportunity to kick off the summer season with some self-care.

I absolutely had to see for myself what this viral sensation was all about. It did not disappoint. As I walked in, it felt as if I had stepped into a serene paradise. This was a breath of fresh air compared to other craft spaces where things feel way too condensed with no room to relax. The floor plan here is excellently executed with crafts beautifully organized up front and the food cafe situated in the back.

While there is a massive variety of DIY activities, the clever layout ensures it never feels crowded or overwhelming. The owner promptly greeted me with genuine warmth and was so excited to explain how everything works. She instantly introduced me to an array of options including custom bracelets, phone charms, beads galore, scented candles that don't need to be lit, and the Crystal Energy Aroma Bowl. The little girl in me was so pleased because this is exactly the type of creative crafting I would have loved as a child. No worries though. I am fully making up for it now.

Before diving into the arts and crafts, I was ready to eat and sample their highly anticipated menu. I ordered the Ube Coco because I am completely obsessed with Ube. This drink was absolutely perfection featuring a fluffy Ube foam layered over fresh, hydrating coconut water. I also ordered the veggie gyoza, which was incredibly delicious, light, and not greasy at all. It was served alongside vinegar, sriracha, and ketchup. For the main course, I chose the Mapo Tofu Bento Box, which featured silken tofu swimming in the most savory, delicious sauce I have ever tasted with just the right amount of spicy kick. Served alongside a perfect, non-salty miso soup and fluffy steamed rice. It genuinely tasted like a comforting, home-cooked meal. This was exactly what I needed.

With a full stomach, it was time to go to work on my custom summer craft project. While everything looked amazing, the Crystal Energy Aroma Bowl was calling to me. I wanted a beautiful piece for my office to help me relax, manifest positive vibes, and pull better energy into my workspace. As I put together my crystal bowl, the owner showed me gorgeous actual dried leaves to add. They were stunningly preserved. When it came to choosing the perfect fragrance, I am usually a huge fan of jasmine. However, the owner's personal favorite, Gardenia, completely elevated my bowl to the next level.

While there is still so much left to explore at this hidden gem, I am completely content with my beautiful creation. This is the absolute perfect venue to book for a kid's birthday party, a graduation celebration, a unique summer date night, or a fun girls' day out because there is truly something here for everyone. I already cannot wait until my next trip to try more crafts and treats. Make sure to stop by this amazing Johns Creek boutique when you have time, and tell them that Ash Said It sent you that way!

The good folks at have been watching my feed and decided it’s time for me to level up from a kombucha buyer to an at-home Bruu-Master! 🍵✨

I drink kombucha regularly, but honestly? I never considered making my own. Traditional home brewing always felt like a mad science experiment. But Bruusta claims that making premium, low-sugar kombucha at home has never been easier.

Challenge accepted. We’ll see about that! 😏
Here’s the day one breakdown:

📱 The App is Everything: From purifying the unit before first use to prepping the kit, the Bruusta app literally holds your hand with live animations. If you have newbie nerves like I did, this is a total game-changer.

🫚 The Flavor: I chose the Ginger Bruu Base for my maiden voyage.

⏱️ The Process: Literally took under 10 minutes. Opened the packet, poured in the base, filled the rest with water to the black line, and set it on the smart brewing dock.

Now? We let the magic happen. It ferments on the dock for 4 days, goes into the fridge for a 2-day conditioning phase to lock in that natural carbonation, and then 5 liters of fresh wellness on tap is ready to pour! My first batch was a success! If I can do it, so can you!

Ready to master the art of DIY kombucha brewing? 🍹✨

If you’ve been wanting to make your first batch of delicious, gut-healthy kombucha at home, there is no better time than right now. Skip the grocery store prices and complex science projects—this premium kombucha starter kit makes home brewing incredibly easy, fun, and foolproof!

Get your complete kit today at ➡️ https://bruusta.com/

🔥 EXCLUSIVE DEAL: Use the promo code ashbrown15 at checkout to get an exclusive $15 OFF your purchase!

Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking for the perfect gift for a foodie friend, this kit has everything you need to start brewing your own signature flavors.

The woman who sang "Congratulations" said goodbye to the world in a quiet hotel room at fifty-three.

2011.
El Segundo, California.

Mary Vesta Williams was 53 years old.
The music world loved her simply by her first name, Vesta.

She grew up as the daughter of a popular radio disc jockey in Ohio.

Her family moved to Los Angeles, where she sang in a group with her sisters.

She started her professional career singing backup for icons like Chaka Khan, Anita Baker, and Sting.

Her incredible vocal range allowed her to hit notes that did not seem humanly possible.

In 1986, she released her debut solo album and became an instant R&B star.

She scored huge hits like "Once Bitten, Twice Shy" and "Don't Blow a Good Thing".
In 1989, her heartbreaking ballad "Congratulations" became her signature song and topped the charts.

She also used her warm personality to act on hit television shows like Sister, Sister.

But as the 1990s moved forward, her recording contract slipped away.

She faced heavy pressures about her weight and look from top music executives.

She fought back bravely, lost one hundred pounds, and became a passionate advocate against childhood obesity.

She never stopped working and was preparing for a major tribute concert in California.

On September 22, 2011, hotel workers went to check on her room near the airport.

They found the beloved singer lying completely still in her bed.

Medical teams rushed to help, but the legendary songbird had already passed away in her sleep.

The shocking news of her sudden death broke the hearts of soul music fans everywhere.

Doctors later determined that her heart stopped naturally from hypertensive heart disease.

Her family shared that she suffered from an enlarged heart that went undetected for years.

Top stars like Loretta Devine and Sheryl Lee Ralph gathered at her funeral to sing her praises one last time.

She left behind a legacy of power, humor, and pure vocal excellence that inspired a generation.

She proved that true talent cannot be hidden by industry standards or changing trends.

A beautiful diva went to rest, but her highest notes will ring out forever.

She gave everything to her music.

Vesta Williams.
2011.
