Finance
  • Refinance rates are skyrocketing. But home equity rates remain relatively low — which means that now is a great time to borrow against your home. Calculate your payment.*
Drink
  • An electric wine opener is one of those inexpensive kitchen gadgets that you don’t know how you lived without once you get one. We especially love this one for its sleek design and ergonomic grip. To upgrade your wine even further, this set includes an automatic wine aerator and reusable vacuum stopper.
Correction
  • In yesterday’s newsletter, we shared our comprehensive hiking guide in Chattanooga. We mistakenly shared that Snoopers Rock + Ritchie Hollow trails were located in the Lookout Mountain region. You can find these hikes in the Prentice Cooper State Forest region.

I had so much fun participating in crafty hour activities at The Greenhouse with Scenic City Clay Arts. For this series, you got to enjoy brews while creating your own handmade mug. The folks with SCCA were so kind and helpful, and I can’t wait to pick up my finished mug soon.
