Okay, but who actually knows what's in their sunscreen? 🤔

The Crunchy Shop is hosting their Summer Essentials Workshop, and it's the kind of afternoon we love, a glass-half-full, learn-something-new kind of day. You'll actually make your own mineral sunscreen, botanical bug spray, and cooling after-sun mist, then walk out with whatever you create. Sensitive skin, kid-friendly, unscented, essential-oil blends… you tailor it all to you. No experience needed, beginners more than welcome.

The details: Tuesday, June 9, 4–6 PM, out at 921 Harmony Road in Eatonton. $35 gets you hands-on instruction, a recipe guide, and one custom product to take home (make more for a little extra if you catch the bug).

Seating's limited and pre-registration is required, so don't sit on it too long.

You know that little stretch of summer where the lake just feels like home? The folks over at Georgia Power Campgrounds have been quietly making that happen for decades, three spots right on Lake Oconee, each with its own kind of charm.

Lawrence Shoals has that sandy beach and easy trails for the kids (and the dogs). Old Salem is the quiet one, all scenic views and calm water for your morning kayak. And Parks Ferry? Picnic tables, playgrounds, room to spread out, basically built for the whole crew showing up.

Here's the friendly heads-up: summer sites have a way of getting spoken for before you think to plan. No rush, no pressure, just maybe pencil in your weekend sooner than later so you're not the one circling back to an empty calendar in July.

Okay, we have to share some exciting news. 💛

Lake Oconee Life just launched something new, and it took off faster than we ever expected. Our very first shared mailer SOLD OUT in two weeks.

Here's the secret we're letting out: we've added a powerful new way to get our partners and local businesses into the mailboxes of the residents who already know and love us. One beautiful card. Thousands of homes around the lake. Your business, right there in the hands of your neighbors.

No guessing whether anyone saw it. Just real local businesses reaching real local people, the friendly Lake Oconee Life way.

The first card filled up before we could catch our breath. The next ones are already taking shape, and spots are limited.

If you're a local business or partner who wants to be in the mailbox next time, let's talk before word gets all the way out.

🚤 Thinking about buying a new boat or RV? Here's the question most people forget to ask.

It's easy to fall in love with the boat. The RV. The summer of lake days you're already picturing. But here's the part that sneaks up on folks: where's it going to live when you're not on the water?

That's where Chris Bolen at Oconee Boat & RV Storage comes in.

Chris knows the storage headache firsthand, 20 years ago he couldn't find a reliable spot for his own boat, and he purchased this facility to be the answer he wished he'd had. It sits just minutes from Sugar Creek Marina and Swords ramps, so launching is quick and spontaneous lake days stay spontaneous.

What you get:
🔒 24/7 gated access with keypad entry
☂️ Covered parking to protect your investment from the elements
💡 Bright lighting throughout for early mornings and late nights
🤝 Fair, straightforward pricing and a real person who actually answers when you call

And this isn't some faceless corporate lot. Chris lives here, loves this lake, and treats your boat or RV like it's his own.

So before you sign for that new rig, line up the easy part first. Give Chris a call.
