Take a Peek into The Southern C Summit, Day 2

Oh my goodness you guys, I’m exhausted. Anyone else feeling this way today? We just got back late Sunday night from a weekend in South Carolina where we had two weddings, one in Greenville and then one in Charleston where I was a bridesmaid. They were gorgeous weddings and I’ll have more to come on this later, but for now I’m excited to be back with another round of my experience at The Southern C Summit in Charleston, SC. 
PS: Make sure you don’t miss my 5 key takeaways from day one here!
Our second day in the holy city was much more laid back than the first day where we were going from sun up to (way past) sun down. It was a nice change of pace, although our brains still felt full as a tick because of all the great sessions and networking :).
To fuel up for the day, we hit up Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit which is right down the road from the venue, The American Theater. It’s my favorite place for grab-and-go breakfast and a must-hit if you’re in Charleston.
As I noshed on my country ham, blueberry and shortbread and cinnamon sugar biscuits, I really enjoyed watching Mandy from Waiting on Martha talk social media. Seeing as social media is my day job, I didn’t find a ton of things completely new, but really appreciated Mandy’s presentation style (it felt like coffee with a good friend) and view of bring all things social to life. Here are a couple of my favorite slides:
After this presentation, we all hopped over to the gorgeous tent (had to include more photos below!) for book signings. I snagged Kim Whitman’s book Monograms for the Home (perfect for my coffee table) and was so excited to meet and have Eddie Ross sign his book Modern Mix for my MIL for Mother’s Day. I have to say, I’m having regret over not purchasing Julianne Taylor’s (of Taylor Burke Home) book Design Her.
When we got back, the Summit broke out into two tracks and you had a choice on which sessions to attend. I was surprised that there weren’t more bloggers in attendance, but the choices left room for any audience, whether you were a small business owner, creative or blogger. I chose the sessions Growing and Monetizing your Online Presence by Womanista, Brand Collaborations with Buru, Hatch, Cotton + Quill and Emily McCarthy and Target Practice – Sharpen your Skill with Hoffman Media. 
The sessions were back-to-back, but we stayed alert with delicious cookies on our table from Grey Ghost Bakery. I went for the Chocolate Cayenne and y’all, it was so hot, I could barely eat the whole thing!
Before I knew it, it was time for another afternoon of networking during Cocktails and Conversation. Some highlights for me on this day were the macaroons from Tree House Macaroons, the charm bar from Moon & Lola and meeting nice folks from catstudios (which make my favorite tea towels!) and other bloggers like Paige of The Pink Clutch. 
Side note on the macaroons – untrue to my usual basicness, I do not like macaroons(!), but these were unlike anything I’ve ever had, SO GOOD! The banana pudding was my favorite and they ship so I’m thinking these are on dock for birthday gifts for my friends all over the country.
After a fun day at the Summit, we unwound with drinks and dinner at The Westendorff with my friend Mary and her (now!) husband and friend. We were staying at Mary’s house which is on the same street as this restaurant, so it worked out perfectly. Not to mention, the food and atmosphere was just fantastic. I highly recommend this on your next trip to Charleston!
Phew, what an awesome time!!! Next up, our final day at the Summit which includes a beautiful brunch out on the water at Le Creuset‘s headquarters. Let me know if you have any questions on the sessions or Charleston!

  • What is it about a Christmas pageant that just warms a Mamas heart?! πŸŽ„ #SullyLou knew every word to all the songs (English, French, and Spanish!), sang them enthusiastically, remembered the moves, and just beamed with joy from the stage. I’m so proud of her 😭. How is she becoming such a big girl so fast?! Speaking of big, she was the only girl on the back pew because she’s so tall. πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ I love you my Sully girl. I am so so so incredibly proud of you my mooks.
  • Run like the wind bullseye! Not the most IG worthy picture, although that is Kensington Palace in the background, hey Kate! πŸ‘‹πŸ» But I'm doing it y'all. Registered for the @cooperriverbridgerun which is arguably Charleston's biggest race of the year. Have I ever run a 10k? Nope. Have I ever run a 5k? Yes, and it was six years ago. 🀣Watch me work... πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈ
  • Throwback to one of the most Christmas-y places in London! Tonight we enjoyed our own little slice of Christmas with the Mount Pleasant parade (see Stories!) πŸŽ„πŸŽ… β˜ƒοΈ We may not be spending our December abroad or in Hawaii this year, but gosh it sure does feel good to be home sweet home in Charleston!
  • Do you go to THERAPY? Why is that word so scary? 🚨 Why do we feel shame in saying we go? πŸ‘‰πŸ» Tonight in my Stories a bunch of strangers across the internet grouped together to share therapists they recommend in cities across the US and even in London. I feel like knowing who to go to is one of the hardest first steps, hopefully, we've helped you with that. πŸ’— πŸ‘‡πŸ» Feel free to comment below, if you're comfortable, with any other therapist recommendations you'd like to share or tell us about your therapy experience!

Ok so why the photo of me in the Sahara Desert for a 5am camel ride sunrise? πŸͺ Well, soon after this photo was taken, I walked into a therapist's office in London. Why? Secondary infertility. I wrote about this on the blog (link in profile), but I felt so, so broken y'all. β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
All the travel we were doing was reminding me of all the joy, joy, joy down in my heart πŸ˜‰ and I realized how this feeling of brokenness was dragging me down. And I didn't want it to turn into something bad. So off I went. β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Over a year later and I've found my gal here in Charleston and I still go every month. πŸ‘πŸ» Even though I don't feel broken any longer. In fact, I feel optimistic and hopeful for our future adopted child. πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘§ It's just good to talk it out y'all. To talk out everything occupying your brain space and keeping you up at night here or there. Not only that, but therapists have TOOLS. They're so equipped to teach you #allthethings you never even knew you needed to know!

β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
As we go into the holidays πŸŽ„ which admit it you guys, we put so much pressure and tie so much meaning to.... I want you to consider therapy. A lot of insurance providers will help you cover the cost. It doesn't hurt to book an appointment and see if it's for you. And you might have to shop around for the right fit, but you'll find it. β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
At the end of the day, I believe that if we're all more mentally stable humans, we'll all contribute to a better, kinder world. 🌎
  • One thing I never got tired of during 14 weeks of guests visiting us in London (and most all of them staying with us in our 500 sq ft flat with 1 bathroom 😬)... was the afternoon tea!!! β˜•οΈ Gah I just loved it. All my fancy tea party dreams from my childhood got to come true over and over! β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Don’t miss it when you visit the UK! πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ This was one of my favorites and top recommendations, The Park Room at @grosvenorhouselondon. Check on @opentable for the special reservation where a glass of bubbly πŸ₯‚ is included with your tea! β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
PS: Hit that little bookmark to save this post for later so you remember where to go when visiting London! πŸ’‚πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ

  • Snapped in my element. Hunting for gems in the flea markets abroad. 🌏 The first deals I looked for on Cyber Monday? Flight deals! Go search @skyscanner, I even found NYC to London for less than $300 a person. Considering we have a baby on the way and no earthly idea when that baby gets here I didn't hit purchase but dang I wanted to. Y'all do it for me! ✈️

  • December in Charleston means sandals and iced tea. ❄️ Ryan and I realized this past weekend that between his work travel and mine, plus family trips, we’ll cover 2 countries outside of the US and 3 states in addition to holiday travel throughout South Carolina in the month of December. 😬 β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Weirdly, I’m not stressed about it. I’m just so excited to share with y’all what some of this travel is for (not a baby unfortunately, yet!) and to see so many good friends and family! πŸŽ‰
  • Happy Thanksgiving from The Phillips Family! Here’s our little Instagram vs. reality for ya. πŸ€ͺ I hope you all have a day filled with gratitude, love, and full bellies, surrounded by the people you love most. β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Ten years ago on this holiday my father-in-law passed away, so it’s always one that is hard but also one where we get to remember Bob. I only spent time with him a handful of times but the way he has shaped his children and how much he means to Ryan is something I cherish. Gosh am I grateful that we were chosen to witness his greatness for the short time God lent him to us on this earth. πŸ’— I’m sending prayers to those of you who may also be dealing with hard things on Thanksgiving. You are loved and thought of today, friend. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving πŸ¦ƒ
