Stay

Two Night Stay at Zero George

The three of us gals are all in agreement that it’s impossible to beat Zero George. That’s why we knew that we’d be so lucky to have Zero George included in our giveaway again this year. I would honestly say that Zero George is one of my most favorite hotels I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying at. Zero George is a little slice of heaven nestled away on George Street (hence its name). Known for its distinct personality, charming rooms, delicious food, and impeccable service, Zero George is simply divine. Most of the photos in this post were taken at Zero George by Anne Rhett so you can see how dreamy the boutique hotel is. The winner of this giveaway will win a two night weekday stay, based on availability at time of booking.

The winner of this giveaway will win two candle making class passes.

Two Pedicure at The Water Room

The Water Room is Charleston’s beautiful nontoxic nail salon. Let me take a moment of your time to tell you how amazing it is. The Water Room is truly a little zen oasis.

Ever since The Water Room opened, I don’t go anywhere else for my nail care. All of their polishes are 8 free, cruelty free, vegan, and nontoxic. The salon is calming and chic + there is a Aillea shop in the back full of carefully curated clean beauty brands. The winner of this giveaway will win two Level 3 Pedicures.

Tia is a Charleston native who has turned her passion for crabbing and the outdoors into the most amazing experience. Her family has been crabbing and casting for both fun and food for generations in Charleston so you won’t find a better local expert than Tia.

The winner of this giveaway will win a Crabbing with Tia experience for two.

Two Tour Tickets for Walk and Talk Charleston

Kristin, Chassity, and I all agree that Walk and Talk Charleston is our favorite tour in the city! The tours are run by Tyler who has an incredible wealth of knowledge about Charleston’s history and the people who have shaped the city over the years. The tours are made better by Tyler’s wonderful sense of humor, storytelling ability, and serious love and admiration for the Hole City. Tyler doesn’t just share facts about Charleston’s past; rather, she tells rich stories about the very colorful Charlestonians of the past. On a Walk and Talk tour, you can expect to wander some of Charleston’s most beautiful streets while learning about the city’s distinct history and historical gossip. It’s a wonderful way to see the city! The winner of this giveaway will win two tour tickets.

Two Passes to The Works Workout + 2 Passes to The Works Cycle

When it comes to workouts in Charleston, it doesn’t get much better than The Works and The Works Cycle! The Works has made a name for itself as an incredible sweat studio that dishes out soulful fitness. It has a bit of a cult following (kind of like the cult following that Soul Cycle has developed over the years) because the workouts are so hard yet so fun that they are addicting. The Works recently opened The Works Cycle, which brings the same energy to every class as The Works but on bikes. The spin studio is such a welcome addition to Charleston.

I have no doubts that the winner of this giveaway will be indulging in Charleston’s delicious food and cocktails every day while here so it will be incredible to be able to add a phenomenal workout into your daily schedule at both The Works and The Works Cycle.
