30 Days 30 – Pink Dot Beauty Bar
Pink Dot Beauty Bar contains some of the best makeup available and host some of the most talented makeup artist in Charleston. It was a pleasure working with Rebecca Wash and Demi Washington as they used care and took us both out of our makeup comfort zones.
Both artists took us out of our comfort zones applying bold lips and super full lashes.

Yogapop
Us along with a couple hundred other yoga enthusiast met at The Grove at Patriot’s Point for an afternoon of play. The schedule detail large group yoga sessions as well as smaller more intimate classes focuses on mediation and advanced poses. Vendors were lined the perimeter offering healthy snacks and funky workout gear. We snagged a couple flower halos from Flowershop to increase our zen. Musical acts like McKenzie Eddy and Eliot Smith serenaded that last mass yoga session as we stretched our bodies to new lengths.
The theme this year was play. We were reminded that as children, we jumped and flipped and rolled our bodies around for fun. Yogapop encourages us to get back to that playful place to better expand our body, mind and spirit.

“Be Yaself” Book Launch
Justin Beaufort or JB, a North Charleston native, wrote an autobiography called “Be Yaself” that chronicles his past life and future endeavors. JB had his book launch at Aria’s Lounge on Saturday and it was filled with smiling faces of young black entrepreneurs waiting to purchase a signed copy of his first book. JB has set a standard here in Charleston with his positivity and constant hustle. We congratulate him and can’t wait to read his book; sure it’s a page turner.

Tasting Tents – Sunday
Charleston Wine & Food
We walked into the main festival gate at Marion Square closest to Calhoun Street. We were delighted to see a vintage Tequila Don Julio truck with a special bar serving draft Tequila Paloma (soda, Tequila, grapefruit). After a few sips, we meandered passed by a pit filled with colored balls before wandering into the huge tasting tents. Lines of festival attendees wrapped along the perimeter of the structure. We waited in line for 30 minutes before heading for one of the several wine and spirits tasting tables. Wineries from all over the country presented their offerings generously. Bottles Mt. Pleasant provided a retail tent for patrons to purchase any of the spirits they tasted in the tents. Genius!
Painting with Jonathan Green
Nationally reknown artist, Jonathan Green, collaborated with Wine & Design to host a private painting lesson during the festival. Mr. Green instructed students brush stroke by brush stroke to create their interpretation of balloons in the sky. Jonathan graciously assisted everyone and personally signed several of the students creations.
The festival hosted several activities to keep attendees busy like an agave history lessons from Tequila Don Julio, live cooking demonstrations, interactive cooking classes and lots of photo opportunities. It was inspiring to see so many local businesses represented at the festival. Wine makers from John’s Island and Walterboro proudly poured samples of their grapes or slices of their goat cheese or spoonfuls of craft fruit jams. As Charleston Wine & Food enters its eleventh year, we hope the trend of ‘keeping it local’ continues.

Cocktail Club Charleston Mixology Class
Whenever a new season arrives, new and seasonal cocktails are not far behind. Charleston’s Cocktail Club has started offering mixology classes every quarter to promote their own seasonal menu, and to teach cocktail lovers how to make delicious cocktails at home as well. We had the pleasure of attending their winter mixology class and it was very creative, informative and leaving ANY class with a buzz is always a plus!
