☝🏻 ☝🏻 ☝🏻 what I’m dreaming about oh this dreary Monday morning — @thedewberrycharleston Citrus Club 🍊🍹Mai Tai. So happy I got to check out this chic rooftop with my girlfriend before I headed out of Charleston. This is a perfect visit for locals + travelers alike, you feel like you’re on an immediate vacation the minute you step off of the elevator! And yes, this cocktail tastes as good as it looked. 🙌 Since I was young, I have been traveling to NYC. My mom and I would go up twice a year, once at Christmas to see the amazing Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center and once in the summer to shop + see a Broadway show. The city bug got into my system very early on, and truly had never left. When my husband and I moved to Charleston, we were truly thrilled. We fell in love with the lowcountry food, the warm weather + beaches, and the wonderful people we met along the way. It was a part of our journey that I wouldn’t trade for anything, and I’m so grateful to have had that experience of living in the south together. . . But life is a funny thing. Opportunities come along, and sometimes you just have to roll with the punches. In a few weeks we will officially settle in to our charming (that’s the cool word for small, right?) one bedroom apartment in the Upper East Side of NYC and we couldn’t be more excited for this next step in our adventure. Bring on the hustle bustle, all of the food + drink (can someone say PIZZA?!), the fabulous fashion and that FREAKIN’ Christmas Tree! Concrete jungle, here we come. . . I am so unbelievably grateful for my partner that I get to go through this life with. He’s the most hardworking, compassionate, understanding person I know, and I truly can’t wait to look back on this adventure and reminisce about all of the fun we have had on this journey together. The two of us packed up and carried every single box and piece of furniture out of our second story apartment, and then drove 13.5 hours with a 26’ uhaul and two vehicles to Maryland. He is the only person that I would want to go through four moves in five years with. This photo above was taken after we won an engagement photoshoot in NYC in 2014; I now am feeling extra grateful for those photos. . . Thanks to all of our amazing friends + family that have supported us, helped us and sent well wishes on this next step. (But like, where am I going to put all of my clothes??) I’m feeling lots of emotions — but I’ll just stick with excited, and extremely grateful. (And seriously ready for ALL of the pizza.) Cheers to new adventures, friends! Sending a huge shoutout to all you Charleston craft beer lovers to go check out (seriously, RUN don’t walk) @indigoreefbrewing who officially open their doors T O D A Y! Chris + Nicole + their Indigo team are some awesome humans who are serving up some tasty beer (we recommend the Drift Dive IPA!🍻) and we are so happy they’ve brought their delicious-ness to the Charleston beer scene. Everyone go have a pint + an extra one for us, too. . . PS — the brewery dream is still alive + well in the Lorman household so thanks Chris + Nicole for showing us around the brewery + for being such great role models. 😉☺️🍻🎉 Last night was one of those Charleston nights that you know you’ll remember for a long time. Friends, salty air + tasty drinks. I love soaking up moments like that, and appreciating each one we get. But enough of the sappy stuff — can I get back on the #boozecruise, now? 🙋🏼‍♀️⛵️🌊 This @lillypulitzer dress is perfect for summer - see the full length in my stories. 🌸 Appreciation post for this beautiful spread from #SundayFunday. @eobrewing Cherry Pineapple Sour + burger + fries = Kelsey’s happy place. . . I got the @impossible_foods burger at @chuckandpattys yesterday. 🙌🍔 You 💯 could have fooled me that it was a real burger, such a yummy meatless option. AND of course a moment of appreciation for ALL 👏 THE 👏 FRIES 👏 please. . . Still dreaming of the weekend - but excited for the week ahead. Happy Monday, everyone! Last night we stopped by three of our absolute favorite spots in Charleston, three that we fell in love with on our very first visit to this beautiful city almost two years ago. @revelrybrewing — great brews, the perfect rooftop + even better company (thank you @huntsurf17!); @lewisbarbecue — the epitome of southern BBQ with a walk up counter where your hardest decision is whether or not the meat sweats are worth it (pro tip: they are); @eoexchange — where the outdoor scenery is almost as good as the pb+j beer they’ve got on tap, I could sit on their benches for hours (especially if @lorman89 + @saaa_rahhh are there with me). . . Last night was also the first night in two whole months that I had meat + dairy. (Lewis BBQ was worth breaking the streak.) I did this no meat + dairy diet for a lot of reasons: some ethical related, some internal gut health related, and some physical health related. I missed cheese more than I missed meat (I cried taking a bite of mac+cheese — see the ((embarrassing)) footage in my stories), and I found it to be super awesome trying to find great vegetable alternatives (hi, jack fruit!) and cheese substitutes (give me all the cashew cream cheese!). I will definitely stick to a lot of the substitutes I found throughout the last two months. Have you ever tried a diet like this? . . I write all of this to say: Trying new ways to live your life can be challenging and also so rewarding; Charleston is a damn cool city with damn good food; Some times mac+cheese is so good it makes you cry; And, it’s a good thing there’s no meat or dairy in beer. 🍻 Cheers, y’all.
