Alright. It's your time to figure out who you are going to be this weekend in Charleston? Are you going to be getting in your glow-up era or having many drinks with your girls?



🌇THE GLOW-UP GIRL ERA

For the 'it-girl' in her own reinvention montage


  1. THE WORKS - Get your sweat on before having yourself a day.

  2. ISLAND PROVISIONS - Start the day with a matcha or oat latte and a pastry, sitting outside ready to conquer your day. This is where you open your notes app and dream big. Personal rebrand incoming.

  3. CANDLEFISH WORKSHOP - Pour your own candle, pick your own vibe, and leave smelling like the version of yourself who has it all together.

  4. AFTERNOON RESET WALK - Somewhere aesthetic: South of Broad, Colonial Lake, or the Battery. Podcast optional.

  5. POST HOUSE INN dinner - Sexy lighting, amazing cocktails, ideal for solo journaling or flirtatious dinner with your crush. Your call.


🥂THE POWER PLAYER PLAN

For the ambitious one who schedules their me time like meetings, with intention.


  1. BRUNCH AT THE OBSTINATE DAUGHTER - Start strong with a gorgeous spread and the kind of ambiance that makes you believe in Sunday as a productivity ritual.

  2. WALK AT HAMPTON PARK - Headphones in, to-do list in notes app. This is your planning zone.

  3. MIDDAY CREATIVE HOUR - Mood board, digital journal, Google Doc, vision board. You pick. Make space to check in with yourself and where you're heading.

  4. DINNER AT ZERO GEORGE - Because excellence deserves celebration, even if the win was simply not losing your mind this week.


🧘‍♀️THE RECHARGE & REROUTE PLAN

Perfect if your nervous system is saying "girl, sit down."


  1. SUNRISE MEDITATION AT FOLLY BEACH - A little silence, salt air, and barefoot grounding does more than your group chat ever could.

  2. WELLNESS RITUAL AT THE WATER ROOM - Non-toxic mani/pedi + podcast = internal reset.

  3. MIDDAY NAP OR BOOK-IN-BED SESSION - Turn your ringer off. No guilt.

  4. EARLY NIGHT IN WITH PINTEREST - Cozy PJs, red wine, comfort food. Call it what it is: a self-respect ritual.


🌿THE HIDDEN CHARLESTON WEEKEND PLAN

You're in your cool-local-with-great-taste era.


  1. BRUNCH AT MILLERS ALL DAY(JI locations) - A low-key gem away from the crowd but still delivering a top-tier biscuit situation.

  2. WANDER THROUGH WAGENER TERRACE OR CANNONBOROUGH - Get inspired. Pop into a new coffee shop. Eavesdrop (nicely).

  3. VINTAGE OR RECORD STORE DIG - Try the Vinyl Countdown or Red Rose Vintage for a vibe reset.

  4. SECRET SUPPER CLUB or PRIVATE DINNER PARTY - Tap into your network. The good stuff happens behind closed doors.


🍾THE SOCIAL QUEEN WEEKEND PLAN

You're here to mix, mingle, and make memories.


  1. ROOFTOP BRUNCH AT THE WATCH - Gorgeous food, great views, and even better people watching.

  2. BOUTIQUE CRAWL ON KING STREET - Flirt with fashion. Touch everything. Try things on just for the drama of it.

  3. AFTERNOON ORANGE WINE AT THE VERNS - Two words: orange wine. Two more words: girls night.

  4. DINNER + DANCING AT MADISON MAISON - You never know who you'll meet. This is the networking that doesn't feel like networking.




Charleston is calling. Your future self is texting back. Let's make this weekend count.
