Innholdsfortegnelse for March 2025 i Nashville Lifestyles Magazine

I’ve had the privilege to meet some truly inspiring women working at this magazine. Being able to introduce you to some incredible women who I personally take inspiration from makes this issue one of my favorite editions. A couple of years ago, I had dinner with my friend Ivey, and she told me she was launching a new tequila brand. I am so proud of her! She embodies the entrepreneurial spirit, she’s an amazing mother, and an all-around great person. I don’t know if you have ever met someone who is so energetic and positive that they are contagious, but that is Ivey Childers. Now, in full disclosure, I have not yet met Dr. Christina Rahm because this woman is busy! She’s a doctor, a global entrepreneur, a patented scientist,…

When Crystal de Luna-Bogan and her husband Joseph moved from Southern California to Nashville 16 years ago, our dining scene was still in its infancy. It took time for this Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef to find her footing. She found that first at Cha-Cha, working under Chef Arnold Myint. He introduced her to other chefs around town, as well as the international fare found along Nolensville and Charlotte Pikes. She could see the possibilities. In 2010, Crystal struck out on her own. Elevating nostalgic comforts, she and Joseph launched The Grilled Cheeserie food truck to an almost overnight success. As the business flourished, the couple partnered with Fresh Hospitality, opening their first brick-and-mortar shop in 2017 in Hillsboro Village. This was followed by shops in Franklin and East Nashville two…

Mattie Bush-Martin of the local favorite Amelia’s Flowers and her husband Taylor Martin teamed up to open their first beverage-driven concept, (think floral shop meets soirée-centric bar), Pont Neuf. Located in L&L Market, Pont Neuf was inspired by the couple’s wedding near its namesake bridge on Paris’ Seine River and features Amelia’s pre-made arrangements and pick-your-own florals, with a bar that offers flower-inspired cocktails, spritzes, wines by the glass, beer, and light bites. One of our favorites of those cocktails is the Midnight in Montmartre, named after the Paris neighborhood famously known for its rich, artistic history. Whether you’re sipping alongside the florals at Pont Neuf or mixing one up at home, this refreshing cocktail is your ticket to Paris for the beautiful spring days ahead.
