Amanda opens up about what it means to create a Brand like Musee and the importance of good design.

Amanda Broyles is the Creative Director and Lead Designer at Musee, a nationally recognized bath and body line based in Mississippi. After becoming a proud graduate of the University of Mississippi, Amanda and her husband Drew spent four years living in the Upper West Side of New York City where she started her career working remotely with the bath company, Musee. However, her heart eventually led her back to the warmth and hospitality of the South, where she has since made a significant mark in the world of creative design. Amanda resides in the charming town of Oxford, MS, with her husband Drew, and her two-year-old son.

Amanda, alongside Musee’s owner, Leisha Pickering, serves as the driving force behind the brand's whimsical aesthetic. With a remarkable seven-year tenure as the lead designer, Amanda has been the mastermind behind all packaging designs and brand photography.

During Amanda’s time at Musee, the brand has garnered widespread acclaim, earning recognition from prestigious platforms such as The Today Show, Southern Living, Harper's Bazaar, and even securing a spot on Oprah's coveted list of favorite things three years in a row. She has been the lead designer on brand collaborations with Anthropologie, Maisonette, The Honest Company, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, West Elm, and Alabaster Co.

Her dedication to excellence and unwavering commitment to the Musee brand continues to elevate Musee's presence in the market. Outside of her creative endeavors at Musee, Amanda finds joy in the simple pleasures of life by spending time with her family and friends.

Note: There is a stretch of music in the beginning of this podcast that seems to go on for a bit. This is because in the video there is a hand writing words that pop up on the screen with no audio translation.  The words spell out the Wikipedia definition of St Nicholaus.  So just sit tight and the words will start soon. Today Kelly interviews her friend, Santa Cliff, as they discuss the true meaning of the Christmas holiday through Cliff's eyes. Get your tissues out - this one has all the feels.  These Courage Stories are special videos posted in addition to the Prides Hollow Story Series.  The Prides Hollow series is about the stories of the people in that town. The Courage Stories are about YOU, Kelly's audience. Kelly collects your stories of ordinary people doing brave things. Because courage is contagious. 

Stories that warm your heart like walking into a Cracker Barrel, or enjoying a good Hallmark movie. To stay in touch, become a patron of the show, or get your own key to the city!

Prides Hollow is full of southern stories that will amuse, entertain, and leave you with an inspirational message. In this first episode, Harriet, a color-between-the-lines kind of lady, does something that most people would have thought was crazy.

You see, Harriet lives in the house down the road, with the grey shutters. She's worn her hair in the same tight bun for what seems like forever, and both her and her husband, Harold, always lived on the safe side of life. 

That all changed when Harold died. You would expect that the challenge from Old Man Withers would bypass Harriet completely. But these southern stories are full of people who take a chance. That’s part of what this inspirational message is about.

When Harriet heard the mailman recite the challenge, her heart jumped up right away. She knew exactly what she would do if she was brave. She wanted to drive the Buick her and Harold owned. Only problem was, she had never learned to drive. 

That didn’t stop her. With her neighbor Noreen as her impromptu coach, the pair took Harold’s ashes and drove off in search of a place to scatter them.

This is one of those southern stories that’s full of seemingly ordinary folks, whose actions end up surprising everyone. The story finishes with an inspirational message from Kelly, about the importance of doing something brave, even if it doesn't seem to make any sense.

If you enjoyed this first episode, be sure to catch the next one, which will air in two weeks, on Wednesday 9pm EST. Kelly will be there to chat in the community thread!

Les Thomas wrote his way across the South. His travel writing, for Texas newspapers,  Southern Living magazine and beyond, has spanned over 45 years. He's a giant of a man with an innate curiosity.  

"I've always liked to ask questions," he says. "That's been part of my life, I guess. I've probably asked way too many beyond patience, but I don't know how you find out things unless you ask." Originally aired May 10, 2013.

How do you make a dream home a reality? In this episode, Deven talks to John Hillman, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Crane Island in Amelia Island, FL, about selling what John calls “the joy of life.” As one of the developers for Southern Living’s 2019 Idea House on Crane Island, John describes the team behind the vision, architecture and design of the Idea House. And he discusses how planning for a "dream home" is not just about buying land, but buying a solution, and how both technology and human relationships play a critical role in identifying what a dream house means to individual buyers. (For more information or a tour of the Idea House, check out the website here.)

Just a few years ago, The Nashville Mom was a lifelong South Carolinian; today she is basically Reese Witherspoon's bestie. (That may be a stretch, but when Draper James hosts a launch party for you, isn't it a logical conclusion?) 

Dawn Burns is now deeply rooted in a community that looks to her when it's time to do something new, celebrate a special occasion or a spend a fun weekend in her city.

The Nashville Mom chats with But Not All At Once about leaving her home state to start a new adventure, how on Earth you make friends when you're a grown-up, how her Instagram feed shows a jam-packed social life but she still spends days in jammies, and why you can't get what you want until you ask. 

We got the details on her partnerships with Draper James and Southern Living, her thoughts on saying yes to the right things, and her encouragement to be brave and start something new.

Greenville-based interior designer Whitney McGregor was featured in a spring 2019 issue of Southern Living, a coveted achievement for anyone, particularly a mom of three who works from home. (You'll be comforted to know that a ton of cleaning and professional styling that goes into a photo shoot like this, even in the rooms of a designer!)

Our chat runs the gamut, covering her thoughts on loving what is rather than aiming for perfection; styles that are timeless; taking intimidation out of interior design; working mom issue; the aim of true hospitality; entering others' homes without judgment; throwing your doors open wide before things are Insta-worthy; and why home is a sacred space, so making it welcoming is a noble task, not a frivolous one.

Whitney answers questions from our @butnotallatonce Instagram community and shares her best advice for where to save and what to invest in as you furnish your home - plus the one thing you can do right now to love your home more.
