The Summerhill neighborhood just south of downtown Atlanta continues to benefit from new places to eat. Maepole, a new food concept from Chef Peter Dale, recently opened its doors.
This makes for the second location of Maepole in Georgia. The original restaurant is in Athens.
Maepole Restaurant Opens In Atlanta
Maepole’s dining room is currently not open, but you can order and sit in the outdoor seats, which are accompanied with fans and heaters.
You can place your order at Maepolerefresh.squarespace.com.
What’s On Maepole’s Menu?
Maepole’s menu has a lot of healthy choices with items to splurge on in between. Here’s the ordering process:
- Pick a base — Brown Rice, Quinoa, Sweet Potato and more are available
- Choose a side – Broccoli Salad, Marinated Mushrooms, Mac ‘n Cheese and more
- Opt for a protein — Chicken, Pork, Fritters and more
- Get some sauce – Spicy Advocado, Buttermilk, Sriracha-Honey are some top choices
Here’s what it says on Maepole’s website: “Maepole was born from our dream of serving real, seasonal, healthy food at a fair price. Along the way, we realized that the food we serve should reflect where we live, the South. So in addition to serving a killer mac & cheese, we also serve green beans & Vidalias, chow chow, collard greens and Hoppin’ John salad.”
Where Is Maepole Located?
Maepole is located at 72 Georgia Avenue Southeast, Atlanta, GA. 30312. Here’s a map to help you find it.

Losing Weight: How To Get Started
The first thing you need to do is transform your mind. Think about how you can implement needed changes in your life right now.
Think about why you want to lose weight. The why shouldn’t ever be because of someone else. The why has to be because of you.
What Can You Eat: Meal Solutions
There’s two ways to look at it: If you want to be really ambitious, which is the preferred way to go, you need to cut out some things that make it easier to put on weight. That means:
- No sugar
- Cut down on carbs
- Increase water intake
You want to eat a high-protein breakfast, low carbs for lunch and a lite dinner. Include plenty of herbs and spices like turmeric. Here some healthy options you can eat to lose weight:
Healthy Protein To Eat
- Tuna
- Salmon
- Baked Chicken Breast
- Lean Beef
Healthy Fruits & Vegetables To Eat
- Leafy Greens (Spinach, Kale, Mustard, Collard and Turnip Greens)
- Boied Potatoes
- Fruits and Berries
You’ll need to stay away from processed foods and eat healthy snacks, like fruits and vegetables.
Exercise
Yes, you’re going to have to exercise. Many people walk or jog in the evenings, but you may choose to do something more intensive.
You can join a gym or invest in some free weights at your own home. Here are some free weight options from Amazon:
Free Weights
- Adjustable Dumbbells
- AmazonBasics 20 lb Adjustable Barbells
- Balance From BF 32 lb Barbells
- Bowflex Selectech Adjustable Dumbbells
As we mentioned, you also may want to add walking or running to your exercise routine. You don’t have to run fast to lose weight. The key is to remain active and walk fast enough to work up a sweat.

Many travelers underestimate the importance of a packing list. If you’re planning on flying from Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport or another airport, you’ll need one.
No matter if you plan to travel within the United States or abroad, you need to be able to bring all your necessary items with you.
What You Need For Your Essential Packing List
We’ve listed everything you need, from the smallest items to the must-have things for your trip. We’ll also show you an essential packing list for all your needs.
As with all things travel, you need to stay safe from COVID-19, so that means:
- Make sure you sanitize your belongings
- Bring masks and gloves with you on your trip
- Continue to keep your 6 feet in distance from other travelers
1. Make Sure Your Passport Is Current
The most important thing you’ll need in your packing list before you leave the country is a valid passport. Contrary to belief, many people think that if their passport expiration date is good at the time of their departure, they’re safe — but that’s not true.
Your passport needs to be current for your whole trip, but not only that: The U.S. Department of State recommends that your passport be good for six months after your trip.
That way, if something happens, say, you get injured and need to be hospitalized for some time, your stay in the country will remain legal.
2. Call Your Financial Institution
The second thing you need to do is let your bank know that you’re going out of town. This way, they won’t view any credit card charges or withdrawals in another country as suspicious.
Here are the customer service numbers for some major banks:
- Wells Fargo: 1 (800) 869-3557
- JP Morgan Chase: 1 (800) 935-9935
- Citibank: 1 (800) 374-9700
- PNC Bank: 1 (888) 762-2265
- Bank of America: 1 (800) 432-1000
3. Withdraw Some Cash
It’s hard to know how much money you’re going to need for your trip because it’s going to be based on how many days you’ll be there as well as what you’ll do.
No matter what the amount, you’re going to need to carry some hard cash so don’t forget to withdraw some before you leave the United States.
If you wait to get cash in a foreign country you’re going to unnecessarily subject yourself to some expensive fees.
Better yet, get yourself a Charles Schwab account, where all withdrawal fees or free or reimbursed.
4. Complete These Home To-Dos
Around the house you’ll want to take care of some important things while you’re away. Don’t forget to:
- Water the plants
- Turn off the air conditioner or heater
- Turn the porch light on
- Make arrangements for someone to feed your animals
- Set your email to auto-respond
5. Get Travel Insurance
If you’re going out of town for a lengthy period, it may make sense to get some travel insurance. The reason why this is important is because it’s a good chance your own medical insurance doesn’t cover out-of-the-country trips.
Go to InsureMyTrip.com to compare prices on some of the best policies out there.
Now let’s get into the many things you need for an international trip before you leave:
International Travel: Here Is Your Ultimate Pack List

- Women’s Pink Weekender Travel Bag
- Plambag Canvas Duffle Bag
- Samsonite Checked Medium Bag
- Puma Men’s Contender Duffle Bag
- Rockland 19 inch Tote Bag
A Good Camera Is A Must
Buy
If you think that a regular schmegular cell phone will do the job, you’re only partially right. A Pixel 4 or iPhone 11 will give you some great upclose shots, but if you want panoramic shots and photos that show depth, you’ll need a professional camera. Here are some of our favorite travel cameras:
- Digital Vlogging Camera 24 MP Ultra HD
- Canon PowerShot ELPH 90
- Panasonic Lumix FZ80 4K Digital Camera
- Nikon CoolPix B500 Digital Camera
- Sony Alpha A6000 Mirrorless Digital Camera

As we well know, the coronavirus pandemic has transformed the way we live in more ways than more.
One thing that has changed is the personal hygiene of Americans, according to a major consumer goods company.
Because people are interacting in person less and less, demand for deodorant and makeup has plummeted, according to Unilever.
” Hair wash and care, hair styling, skincare and deodorants have all been impacted by lockdown living as people have not been socializing or going out to work. And so that simply mean fewer personal care occasions,” Unilever Group CEO Alan W. Jope said during a recent earnings call.
The executives don’t necessarily come out and say that use of deodorants and other personal care items have fallen, but the lack of sales is a clear indication that due to shelter in place orders and general precautions that people are taking regarding going out, it’s having an impact on what consumers buy.
If you’re looking for a way to stay fresh and smell good throughout the day, here are some of the top deodorants you can buy in bulk:
Best Natural Deodorants To Buy Online
- Native Deodorant (Vegan, Gluten-Free for Men & Women)
- Underarmed Natural Aluminum-Free Deodorant
- Lume Natural Deodorant (Underarms & Private Parts)
- Certain Dri (Clinical Antiperspirant)
- M3 Natural With Magnesium (for Men & Women)
The company, which owns Dove soap and other cosmetics brands, says deodorant use is down. But it’s not like the company is hurting.
Unilever also owns Ben & Jerry, which along with other ice cream brands, has seen exponential growth during the pandemic, as millions of Americans have been sheltering in place and eating sweets.
No matter what you buy, make sure you stay safe during this pandemic, because the COVID-19 cases continue to rise in the United States.
