How to Get Around in Charleston


Bicycles are our favorite choice of transportation if you want to get somewhere fast in downtown Charleston.






This dress is from the J.Crew Clearance store.  I bought it for $90.00 and it usually costs around $198  at J. Crew.  Check out where the closest J.Crew Clearance store to you is here.

Bicycle caravans are fun and you can rent a bicycle at Affordabike on King Street for only $20 a day.  Click here!





There are so many ways to get around downtown Charleston that I will have to write multiple blogs on this subject.  I love that Charleston has many unique options for tourists and residents to get around town.  I feel so lifeless riding around isolated in a boring car.  In downtown Charleston they have pedicabs for hire and they even allow golf carts!  If you are interested in taking a pedicab to dinner or to get around, it is easy to find them in the street or ask your hotel's front desk to call for you.  Find pedicab information here.





My husband and I love pedicabs so much we found our very own on Craigslist.org.


We use it to get our ol' dog, Emma, to the boat.  There was a time, (only last year) when I used to get to ride in the back of that.....






And more riding in the back of that pedicab/rickshaw.....

Healthy Chocolate Milkshake


Peel, and place bananas in the freezer overnight.  When you are ready to have a milkshake, place your bananas in the Vitamix.


Remember the guilt free chocolate recipe from yesterday?  Add the healthy chocolate (4 or more tbsp or to taste) and enough soy or almond milk to just cover the bananas.  Stir and drink!  You can be creative and add some fresh mint leaves or vanilla extract as well.

Charleston's Best Oysters

Mark and I have been trying oysters all over town and we have come to a conclusion on which of our favorite restaurants have the best.

If you are visiting and you want the best oysters in town, try these!  Keep in mind oysters are seasonal, so I would call ahead and make sure the restaurant is currently serving oysters before you get your hopes up!

 In 2nd Place: Hank's Seafood





 1st Place: Charleston Grill
These were incredible!   Served in a champagne mignonette, topped with shaved ice and hint of lime.
