Morning Brew Co: Ooltewah's Cozy Coffee Spot

There's something truly AMAZING about finding a local gem that takes your mind far from the hustle and bustle of daily life, especially after a stressful week. Last weekend, I discovered exactly that at Chattanooga Head Spa—a sanctuary for serenity nestled at 1309 Panorama Dr. #115, Chattanooga, TN 37421. Whether you’re looking to spoil the special person in your life or simply indulge in a little self-pampering, this is the ultimate spot for relaxation. Trust me, spending a blissful afternoon here is like a mini-vacation!

The atmosphere exudes tranquility, with its soft lighting, calming music, and that oh-so-soothing scent that instantly melts away your stress. Their kind staff certainly know how to make you feel right at home. This video showcases my fourth visit, and at every visit I've had so far, I have met a different, AMAZING esthetician! 

So, what can you expect during your visit? When you walk in, you're greeted with a short form and an array of complimentary snacks and drinks- because who doesn’t love a little treat while being pampered? The spa offers a variety of packages and specials to cater to your unique needs, and it’s worth keeping an eye on their Instagram for the latest and greatest offers. They are a sister spa with Last Loft and Brow bar where you can book facials, eyelash lifts, brow shaping, tinting and more! But my favorite is the head spa!

One of the standout features at Chattanooga Head Spa is their innovative scalp camera that you do before and after your head spa treatment, which shows you instant results from the service! Witnessing the transformation right before your eyes is just the cherry on top of an already stellar experience. Their massages, shampooing, and treatments are not only incredibly relaxing but also fantastic for your scalp health.

Whether you’re coming solo, bringing along your mom, or planning a day with friends, Chattanooga Head Spa will renew your spirits and leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Westbound Honky Tonk: Chattanooga’s High-Energy Event Space with Southern Flair

If you’re looking for a lively, genuinely fun venue for your next celebration, Westbound Honky Tonk on Station Street might just hit the mark. This isn’t your typical country bar — it’s a high-energy blend of Southern charm and nightclub excitement, perfect for private parties like bachelorettes, birthdays, or just a big night out with friends. Whether you're dancing the night away during their regular hours or renting the entire space for a private event, Westbound knows how to throw a party.

The Experience

From the outside, Westbound fits right in with its neighbors on the always-buzzing Station Street in downtown Chattanooga's Southside. Inside, the venue is upbeat, comfortable, and surprisingly versatile. Neon signs, rustic touches, and a large dance floor give it that honky-tonk feel, but don’t let the name fool you — the music leans much broader than just country.

If you come during regular hours (usually Thursday through Saturday), expect a packed schedule of themed nights, DJs playing crowd favorites, and a genuinely fun-loving vibe. Thursdays are all about line dancing — complete with instructors to help you learn the steps — while weekends often feature a DJ spinning everything from throwback hits to pop, country, and hip-hop.

Private event rentals, though, are where Westbound really shines. You get the place entirely to yourself — the dance floor, DJ, bartenders, and more are all yours. Whether it’s a bachelorette party or a company celebration, the ability to customize the music, décor, and vibe gives your event a personalized, memorable twist.

Why The Farmstead by GreenTech Homes Is One of Chattanooga’s Most Family-Friendly Neighborhoods

If you’re looking around Chattanooga for the kind of neighborhood that feels like one big front porch—where kids ride bikes in the street, neighbors actually know each other’s names, and the homes look plucked from a small-town dream—you’ll want to take a drive through The Farmstead by GreenTech Homes in Hixson.

Whether you’re house-hunting or just a scenic-neighborhood-appreciator, this community stands out for its thoughtful planning, strong local roots, and future-forward amenities. Even better? It’s built by a Chattanooga-based company that’s focused on quality craftsmanship and community building—not just breaking ground and moving on.

The Experience

Located off Dallas Hollow Road in Hixson, The Farmstead feels like the kind of place where time slows down just a bit. Even during a short visit, you’ll likely spot neighbors chatting across yards, kids walking to play with friends, and house exteriors that look like something out of Magnolia Journal meets Americana.

GreenTech Homes, the local builder behind the project, brings a fresh take on neighborhood design. The architecture leans modern farmhouse, with lots of board-and-batten details, large porches, and cozy curb appeal. And while it looks timeless, the guts of these homes are very much up to today’s standards—energy efficient, smart layouts, and customizable depending on your lifestyle.

The community’s vision isn’t just about homes—it’s about what surrounds them. Some of the amenities still in progress (as of this writing) include:

- Neighborhood pool and pickleball courts
- Clubhouse with a dedicated yoga lawn
- Bicycle pump track for the kids (and sporty adults)
- A disc golf course
- Community garden
- Tree-lined walking trails

The vibe is welcoming and intentional, with an emphasis on creating real connections between families, not just building houses next to each other. And since the model homes are open for tours, you don’t have to guess what kind of quality and features GreenTech offers—you can see it for yourself.

Final Thoughts

Perfect for young families looking to settle down, couples hoping to stay within a strong community feel, or even locals ready to build their dream home in a familiar place—The Farmstead checks a lot of boxes.
