You quickly pull on clothes, pausing to brush teeth, and grab your camera and dog and get outside. You make your way down the stone steps to the dock and the water and, if you're lucky, your Labrador actually obeys when you ask him to please not jump into the pond, thus allowing you to … Continue reading When you wake up and the sky is pink…

What I learned – Charleston edition
Five hours and two quick flights later, it is possible to be parking your rental car on King Street. My curls look best when my hair is dirty and salt water and sand are my chosen hair products.
