Alpharetta – October 09, 2026 -- Choosing a metal for everyday jewelry by color alone can lead to surprises, according to a HelloNation article featuring Alpharetta jeweler Jaron Solomon of Solomon Brothers Jewelers, who compares platinum, white gold, yellow gold and rose gold on durability, comfort and upkeep.

Platinum is dense and strong enough to keep stones secure

Solomon describes platinum as one of the most dependable options for long-term use. Its density helps hold gemstones in place, and a piece keeps its structure through daily wear. The metal retains its natural color without surface treatment and develops a patina that many wearers enjoy. Some people like its noticeable weight, while others prefer something lighter.

Alpharetta – October 01, 2026 -- Avanos Medical has launched an over-the-counter version of its Game Ready cold and compression system in the United States, letting consumers buy the recovery technology without a prescription for the first time.

The OTC system uses the same core technology as the prescription version

The new consumer system delivers therapeutic cooling and compression to reduce soreness and support recovery after exercise, sports, or everyday activity. Avanos says the OTC product shares the same core technology and functionality as its prescription-only Game Ready system, though labeling, packaging, and indications have been adjusted for general consumer use.

The prescription system will continue to be used for clinical, post-surgical, and healthcare provider-directed treatment, while the new OTC version is marketed for general recovery and wellness.

Milton – September 29, 2026 -- Homeowners planning a custom pool in Milton, Georgia, should budget six to twelve months from first design conversation to final walkthrough, according to a new HelloNation article detailing the construction timeline.

Design and permitting alone can take two months or more

Design development, material selections, and structural engineering typically require four to eight weeks for a standard project. Changes made after the design is finalized push the schedule back further, so concentrating decisions early helps maintain momentum. Permitting adds further uncertainty since Georgia requires building permits through the local jurisdiction, and some sites in the City of Milton and North Fulton County may also need environmental or stormwater review. Processing times vary depending on project complexity and how busy the building department is.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. – September 29, 2026 -- Homeowners planning a custom pool in Alpharetta, Georgia should expect a project timeline of six to ten months from the first design conversation to the final walkthrough, according to a new HelloNation article breaking down the construction process phase by phase.

Design decisions made in the first six weeks shape the entire schedule

Design development, which finalizes pool shape, size, depth, interior finishes, coping, tile, and equipment, typically takes four to six weeks for a straightforward project. Custom water features or integrated outdoor living structures require additional planning time. Completing these decisions before submitting for permits helps avoid delays later in the process.

Alpharetta, Ga. – September 11, 2026 -- National Vision Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: EYE) has unveiled a nationwide brand refresh for its Eyeglass World chain, aiming to reposition the optical retailer as a digital, style-forward destination for eyewear shoppers.

Joe VanDette, Chief Brand and Marketing Officer at National Vision, called the effort "a complete reinvention of the brand to meet the expectations of today's style-focused consumers," adding that the company is making it easier for customers to shop via virtual try-on, online purchase, or in-store visits.
