In 2023, I decided to take a different approach to Christmas gifting. Since I'm passionate about supporting second-hand and local shopping, most of the gifts I gave last year were either thrifted, locally sourced, or handmade. While I didn't list everything, I chose to share some of the highlights. Looking back, I think the gifts I selected last year were some of my absolute favorites. I hope this gives inspiration for some unique Christmas gifts.

How I Shop My Wish List at a Discount

I am someone who loves shopping. I love having a new outfit for every special occasion. This has lead me to be extremely well versed in second-hand shopping to stay within budget. Today, I wanted to share with you guys how I shop for a wish list like this and my favorite online second-hand stores.

The Vault Kitchen & Market in Savannah is a beautiful restaurant off of Bull Street located in an old bank. This restaurant is a favorite of mine because of the beautiful, large windows that overlook some of the oaks.

Charleston Recap

A few weeks ago, I visited Charleston to celebrate one of my dearest friend's birthday. She and I both adore Charleston and it's bright houses and good shopping. Charleston is also right in between where we both live, so it was the perfect day-trip for both of us. We spent the day admiring the homes, eating, and shopping. Below is a little recap of the day!

Come With Me to Shuk

Last week, my husband and I had the privilege of dining at Shuk for the first time. We went to dinner to celebrate our friend's birthday. Everyone had such a fun time dining here, I wanted to share some more details about our experience.

It is officially Azalea season here in Savannah. This is one of my favorite times of the year because the squares downtown are filled with Azalea bushes so the city is covered in pink flowers when they bloom.

Come with me to Artillery

Since a lot of my blog is focused on Savannah, I wanted to start reviewing different places around the city that I like. There is a bar located in downtown Savannah called Artillery that I had the privilege of trying for the first time this week.
