Question: Which city in North Carolina hosts one of the largest furniture markets in the world?  

(Answer at the bottom of the newsletter.)

New Four-Way Stop at McPherson and Lobelia Roads Starting February 6th

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has announced a significant change to the intersection of McPherson Road and Lobelia Road (Hwy 690). Starting February 6th, this junction will be converted into a four-way stop. The decision aims to enhance road safety and potentially reduce the number of fatal accidents that have occurred at this intersection. While there is some concern about potential traffic congestion, especially during peak hours for station commuters, it is hoped that this change will ultimately lead to safer travel for all road users in the area.

Tia Bennett, Owner

Divine Beauty Esthetics: A Personalized Skincare Haven in West End

Tucked away in West End, at 1030 Seven Lakes Drive Suite B, there's a skincare oasis that's been making waves in the local beauty scene. Divine Beauty Esthetics, owned by the passionate and dedicated Tia Bennett, is more than just a beauty salon; it's a sanctuary where personalization and care are at the heart of everything.

Though Divine Beauty Esthetics has been in business for just a year, Tia's approach to beauty and skincare is refreshingly unique. Understanding that no two individuals are alike, Tia ensures that every treatment is tailored to meet the specific needs and concerns of each client. It's not just about looking good; it's about feeling great in your own skin.

Innovative Services and Community Connection

What sets Divine Beauty Esthetics apart from other local estheticians? It's Tia's commitment to offering services that you won't find just anywhere. From the precision of Dermaplaning to the indulgence of Vajacials and the artistry of brow tinting, Tia is always on the cutting edge of beauty trends. As a solo esthetician, she forms a unique bond with each client, offering a level of comfort and personal attention that's hard to find.

Tia's vision extends beyond the salon. She believes in the power of community and has collaborated with other local businesses to host events that bring people together. One of her most notable initiatives was a skincare camp for pre-teens and teens held this past August. It was more than just a fun gathering; it was an educational experience, teaching young people the importance of skincare from an early age.

Inspired by Family

As a mother of three daughters, Tia's journey into the skincare and beauty industry was fueled by her desire to educate her girls on self-care and wellness. It's this maternal instinct combined with professional expertise that makes Tia not just an esthetician but a trusted advisor to her clients.

Whether you're seeking a transformative skincare treatment or just a moment of relaxation, Tia Bennett at Divine Beauty Esthetics is ready to welcome you. To book an appointment and experience the personalized care that Tia offers, call 336-653-7869.
