Charleston Daily is a concept in community. Its mission is to promote, assist, and celebrate in everything Charleston, South Carolina. By partnering with businesses, community leaders, volunteers and events, we are spreading the love that is Charleston.
As this city continues to grow and prosper, we want to help spread the message to all about how wonderful this community is.
Charleston is about the people, community, water, land, history, heritage and the true southern warmth it brings with each and every day.
This is one for all the funky, head over heels nature lovers here in the Low country. We know the beauty of our skies, calmness of the harbor, shelter of our Palmettos and the tranquility of our beaches, but what about our little friends right at our feet, the mushrooms.
They are a unique part of our ecosystem, living by their own rules, popping up wherever they want and taking on amazing shapes and colors. They are the unpredictable element of nature. For that, we love them.
We wanted to share a pictorial of some of the beautiful mushrooms here in the Low country. Picture some at your toes and take a walk we me as we enjoy these unique quiet neighbors just hanging out in the shade.
#1 City in the World and I get the pleasure of living in it! Still have to pinch myself sometimes. When I’m driving around town surrounded by sprawling oak trees and spanish moss canopying the roadways, it’s like something straight from the pages of Gone With the Wind. Oh fiddle dee dee…
This city has a charm unlike any other with a history to match. In light of me leaving for PA school next month, I’ve concocted a #CHSbucketlist of places I have to go to before I head to Tennessee. Recently my dad and I decided to go down and visit the Charleston Tea Plantation not 10 miles from my house. Located on Wadmalaw Island neighboring Kiawah, Seabrook, and Johns Island, the plantation consists of 127 acres of farm land featuring green, black, oolong, and white tea plants.
With a history dating back to 1666, this island is rich with narratives including the story of the Charleston Tea Plantation. Most recently, it was bought by the Bigelow Tea Company in 2003. To date, the Charleston Tea Plantation is the only one of its kind in North America. It’s a rich piece of the Americana story full of struggle, triumph, growth, and vibrance.
If you are thinking about visiting the plantation, a trolley tour is a must! A guide will take you around the grounds explaining the history of the company and plantation as well as the growing, harvesting, and production process of making tea. TIP: If you are planning on visiting in the summer, get there early to avoid the sweltering afternoon heat (note there is no air conditioning on the trolley ride). With 20 different fields throughout the property, the groundskeepers harvest plant growth one field/day with a rotation that ends up being a 20-day cycle. 3-5 inches of growth can occur on the plants within 20 days. This height allows for optimum taste and flavor.
Some of the different tea blends they produce are Original, Charleston Breakfast, Earl Grey, Plantation Peach, Rockville Raspberry, Carolina Mint, Cinnamon Spice, Green, and Green with Mint.

The grounds also include a tasting room and gift shop. Be sure to try all the different teas before you leave. They even let you try their First Flush blend, made with the first crop of the growing season beginning in April and May. This first growth has a unique flavor to it that is considered to be the cream of the crop.

Before visiting this plantation I knew nothing about tea production. Check out some tea fun facts below…
Whether you are a Charleston native or a seasonal tourist, the Charleston Tea Plantation is a must-see attraction for rich history, stunning views, and a cuppa good fun!
Deane Bowers, you may not know by name, but you may have seen her work. This environmental artist is a voice of Charleston. From educating our youth to bringing conscious awareness of our natural treasures through her work and message, Deane is leading a life of meaning.
She recently spoke to a summer camp sponsored by a local North Charleston church and in the sparkle of the children’s eyes where wonder was as ample as air, Deane was saddened. Recently the county cut funding to several school programs including the art program. With all the ambition and enthusiasm, she was able to share with the children, she knows it will be challenging for these same children to continue to foster their love of art.
This is Deane Bowers: Driven by desire for an Earth filled with balance and fueled by a creative pulse that is the center of her heartbeat.
We took some time to pick her brain and learn more about her passions, vision and hopes for the future.
CD: Do you feel using recycled local material helps you connect your work with the Charleston community?
DB: Recycling and re-purposing local materials definitely connects me to the Charleston community for so many reasons. First, just the physical process of collecting the found objects. I have walked through more neighborhoods and parking lots than I would if I didn’t collect things. I am familiar with which parking lots have the best materials and are the dirtiest and which parks provide the best scraps. The act of collecting has brought me out in the community and now, several businesses recognize me when I walk through their parking lots. The employees at Gerald’s Tires have even chased me down the street, offering up more nails, screws and washers than I could find!
As an artist, my recycled folk art has been a liaison to meet some wonderful people in the arts community. Mike Gibbons with the Charleston Arts Alliance is one of the first to come to mind. I adore him and that organization and will do all I can to support them. My art has opened doors to meet gallery owners, art collectors, store owners and other artists as well. Two years ago, I joined a local nonprofit group called Gallery72 and we do pop up shows around Charleston and a portion of our proceeds goes to outreach in the community. I love exhibiting my work in non-traditional spaces such as bars, coffee shops, EarthFare, Local Works, The Sustainablity Institute, Queen Street Grocery, Southend Brewery, the Johns Island Library and the Downtown Library just to name a few places. And all those exhibitions put me in contact with some wonderful people! And all those wonderful people in their own way, make Charleston a happier, better place to live!
As an environmentalist, my art has put me in contact with awesome people like Dana Beach, the Coastal Community Foundation, Keep Charleston Beautiful, The City of Charleston, MUSC Sustainability, Charleston Waterkeeper, Charleston Green, Charleston Parks Conservancy, Fisher Recycling, Charleston County Recycling and most exciting Mayor Tecklenburg and his executive assistant, Kristen! We are all working to make Charleston a cleaner, greener space and hopefully through my art, I can help educate, motivate and donate (art for fund raisers) towards this goal! The recycling, green community have been my best supporters and have been extremely receptive and encouraging to me as an artist. Most of my followers on Instagram and Twitter are individuals with ties to the recycling community! They truly are my favorite followers!
CD: How important is it for your customers to take away the importance of being green, recycling and conserving our natural resources?
DB: I find that people don’t enjoy and even buy my work if they don’t “get” the green, recycling feature about my art. Usually viewers are first attracted by the vibrant, bold colors I use and on closer inspection begin to see all the intricate details of the found objects layered one upon another. Then they start to get excited and want to know more about my process and when I share that each piece is almost 100% created from recycled, salvaged and reclaimed materials, I see their faces light up. Especially satisfying is to see parents point out individual hardware scraps to their children and begin a dialogue with them about recycling. It is very important for me that the viewer realize that recycling can be an art form and that even that busted, cracked piece of metal, wood or wire has an artistic purpose!
CD: What first inspired you to create this type of art?
DB: Before working with found objects, I spent years painting and as a ceramicist. Working with ceramics, you have to be precise, a perfectionist, and follow the rules of working with clay. I hate following rules, (my husband says because I am stubborn), I am anything but a perfectionist and I don’t like to always be precise. So I was growing weary of ceramics and feeling frustrated by it all. It is a very expensive medium due to the cost of the clay, the glazes and running a kiln to fire all the work.
One weekend about 10 years ago, one of my best friends, who is also an artist and I spent a long weekend at the Outer Banks. We had planned to sit on the beach all weekend and take long walks and maybe do some art each night. But the rain changed our plans on Day #2 and we had to quickly find a way to occupy our time. Because we are both artists, we had packed a few things to work on, but had very limited art supplies. My friend went to work creating a ladies jacket out of about 50 brown grocery bags she stitched together. I started collecting the wood I found on the beach and walked through a few parking lots and found some old nails, bottle caps and wire. I made a couple of sculptures with birds in the composition and my friend, who has an incredible eye saw the potential. She said “Deane, I think you have found your next medium. You seem so free and happy working with these things and I love hearing you laugh while you work.” No one ever said that to me when I worked with other mediums. And found objects are not only freeing, but forgiving and there is no right or wrong way to create with them. Plus, this medium would be a totally unique, new and different path for me to take as an artist. As in any profession, if you don’t keep evolving and changing, you don’t thrive. So the rest is history! From the start, I loved that I could simultaneously clean up the streets around me and make art with what I found. Free art supplies and cleaner streets! It is a win win for sure!
CD: Is there a commissioned piece that you are personally connected to that left a lasting impression on you?
DB: The commissioned pieces that give me the greatest joy are the ones I create for hospitals, child advocacy groups and any nonprofit that loves artwork in their facilities, but doesn’t have the budget to purchase it. My recycled folk art really took off in 2009. Ironically, it was the same time our country went into a deep recession. Art budgets were the first things slashed! About the same time, my mother was hospitalized for about a week as she recovered from a stroke. I was dismayed by the depressing and dismal artwork I saw in the hospital and some of its clinics. That is when you need uplifting, cheerful artwork the most when you or your family are facing some sort of medical crisis. I started doing some research and contacting various art curators (who hadn’t been laid off) at local hospitals about providing them with some free artwork. I also contacted several child advocacy centers where I had contacts and just spread the news that I would love to donate my artwork to their facilities. As a result, I provided artwork for waiting rooms, hospital lobbies, children’s cancer wards to name a few. One of the happiest installations I had was with two of my children and my sister present. I had been commissioned to create 3 huge pieces for The Levine Children’s Center at Carolinas Medical in Charlotte, NC. These were the biggest pieces I had made to date and I had my support staff with me. While the pieces were being installed, the nurses starting coming out of the wood work to see. Some of them went from somber stares to smiling faces and others, who were already smiling said they were going to go get some of the children who were patients to come see the new artwork. To me, that was better than any paycheck I could ever receive! And next month, I will be heading over to Winston Salem, to provide artwork in the lobby of one of their biggest hospitals on a rotating three-month cycle. Last month, I outfitted the entire Barrier Medical Clinic in Ridgeville, SC with artwork. They just opened up a brand new beautiful clinic but had no money for artwork. So I found out via Twitter that they had put out a call for local artists and a relationship was formed!
CD: What are the five attributes that define you as a person and an artist?
DB: Five Attributes that define me as a person and an artist… I had to look up Webster’s definition of attribute to get this question right! Passionate, Driven, Enthusiastic, Optimistic and Loving! Not in that order, but those would be the big 5!
CD: What does art mean to you?
DB: What does art mean to me… Freedom, self-expression, vitality, happiness, satisfaction, community, peacefulness. I could go on…And I hate more than I cannot adequately express my deep sadness that the Charleston County School Board just slashed their art funding. A huge mistake!!! We all need the arts! Whether it is visual or performing, we need the arts to give our lives meaning, dimension, character and solace. To lose one self in a song, or in a painting or just by looking at a beautiful color is extremely healthy and necessary! Art is what gives us personality, definition and character! And hope!
CD: What is the five-year plan for Deane? Where do you see your career and your work?
DB: My five-year plan…I hope to do many more commissioned pieces for hospitals and non-profits. I hope to travel to new cities with my art and spread my mission and passion of being an environmental folk artist. I would love a green organization or company to use one of my images on their labels or packaging. I want to continue to meet new people and hopefully uplift them with my art. Personally, I hope I continue to develop my skills, flair and personality as an artist. Whether I make a million dollars or just one dollar, I will continue to make my happy art because it comes from my heart and it is my way of bringing a very small dose of sunshine and love to this world that continues to be plagued with sad and tragic events!
Recently, Deane was commissioned by the Children’s Hospital in Charlotte. She created three pieces named after her children. This commitment to helping others, sharing the beauty of art and leaving a family legacy that will carry over is only a fraction of the selfless gift that Deane has to offer. Take time to see her vision and share in her love for our environment and the beauty that is art.
Charleston, SC is known for its hot steamy nights. During the sweltering heat of the Summer, residents are finding ways to cool off, yet there is a population that is fueled by the passion of the night. They are drawn to a place where bodies move in symmetry, dance expresses passion and communication is expressed only through body language. This is the world of Salsa. One of the Charleston pioneers of this sensual form of dance is Yaenette Dixon.
From beginner to advanced, Yaenette has dedicated herself to educating and entertaining the Charleston community in the world of Salsa. Combining the art of dance, the sensuality of romance and the choreographed design of unspoken communication, Salsa brings a level of fun heat and spiciness that complements our hot and humid Southern nights.
Raised by a Southern father and South American mother, Yaenette has seen these two worlds up close and personal. She began engulfing herself in Salsa in 2006 and since then has accomplished the following:
Began teaching classes in 2011
Trained in the Black Belt Salsa Syllabus developed by Edie “The Salsa Freak”
Mentored with Susan Zaglin of Greenville, SC
Established Salseros of Charleston Latin Dance in 2013
Has taught over 400 students in the Charleston area
She has set a path for fourteen (14) apprentices who have sought her tutelage toward pursuing their own ambitions.
Today her classes include: On1 LA Style Salsa and On2 Mambo Style Salsa in private, small group, or private group lessons. Students range from beginner to advanced.

When asked, why salsa? Yaenette simply replied, “Although it did take time, it kept me sane during the toughest times. For that, I am grateful and hope to pay it forward by helping others to get a taste of that Salsa Nirvana here on Earth.”
Yaenette offers classes and socials with the goal of creating a pressure free setting to encourage all types to take part in an art form that is healthy, filled with warm blooded passion, and sweating in creativity.
We invite you to meet Yaenette, learn more about the Charleston Salsa community and maybe let your dancing shoes lead you to a new love.

For National Lighthouse Day, come with us as we celebrate the beauty and history of Morris Island Lighthouse Beach. This scenic piece of land on the Folly Beach coast has become a figure head of our coastal home. Ushering in sailors and merchants and welcoming shrimpers home, this perennial escape offers a tranquil place to seek refuge, find clarity and meaning or just appeal to the massive Mother Ocean. This backdrop for weddings, fishing and picnics has become one of the go to places in the Charleston area.

We are not soldiers, but shepherds to humanity armed with the ammunition to feel
We are human beings with the compassion to feel; to love to understand
Our thirst for knowledge will cure disease, send us to the endless corners of the universe and bring our planet closer together
We have the infinite force of possibility resting on our fingertips
The power of the heart can move mountains, bring down the parasites of dictatorship and spread peace
The heart breathes life into all of us
Life, a gift as precious as a flower holding firm surrounded by the winds of power
A powerful storm; unpredictable and fierce
Science, technology stimulate innovation and growth. Powered by the machine and fueled by ambition spreading throughout society. But the purity of existence is the core foundation given as a birth rite.
At birth we accept an empty jar with open arms
In a lifetime, we fill it with memories, accomplishments and the blood of our legacy, warm and comforting
Stand proud, not behind the actions of others, but the leadership of one step
You and only you can be defined
By your losses
By your wins
By the symphony of inspiration you impart on those along your life path
People will come and go.
You will change lives; lives will change you
How was accept each crossroad will script that legacy
You will love
You will love to the point of pain
Embrace the pain and move forward
Machines will rise making our lives easier and bringing the world closer together in instantaneous communication exchange
The will guide us to the stars and beyond
Only we can capture the essence of life
The machines greatest flaw is our greatest gift; the ability to feel
Be amazing
Discover wonder
Create the soundtrack
Draw the journey with a feather tip pen
Paint the sunlight that warms the soul with simple breast strokes
Live with purpose
Bury fear in the pits of coward piled onto an abyss
Don’t look back
Chose life and embrace each new crossroad with curiosity and without limit for you, your children and the dreamers all smiling under the same sky
The magical phenomenon of Instagram has taken the world by storm. Are we truly surprised at its overnight success? As humans, our response to visual stimuli is much higher than audio, verbal or context. It is under the umbrella of one of the largest digital firms in the world. It lets us become magicians without needing the expertise of Photoshop.
I think we have explained that spike in popularity.
But what makes one Instagram grow faster than another?
What makes one have a higher engagement level?
Disclaimer: Now, before I go on, let’s throw out the established brands, the celebrities, athletes and “what do we call reality stars these days”? This is normal folks that live normal lives every day.
Next, let’s eliminate those that “buy” followers. How can you tell someone that “buys” followers? Very simple. If they go from 150 to 1500 in a matter of two minutes, purchased!!! If they show that instant growth, but total engagement does not increase at the same rate, purchased!!!!
Engagement Definition
For those that do not understand engagement, let us explain. Engagement is when you take the total number of engagements (likes and comments) and divided by the total number of followers.
Example: You have 1000 followers. You post a picture that gets 100 likes and 10 comments. Your total engagement is 110/1000 or 11%. So 11% of your followers are interested in your post. In social, we often mistake raw numbers for success. Engagement is the critical element you want to pay attention to.
If I have 50,000 followers and 500 likes, that is only 1% engagement. If I have 5000 followers and 500 likes, that is 10%. I’ll take the second option anytime. That just means higher conversion to whatever message, idea, product or service I am selling.
Now the reason you are all here: How do I maximize my engagement and continue strong organic growth?
Quality. Whether it is 1900 AD or 3000 AD, quality will always be critical to success. I don’t care if you are sharing a picture of the cutest dog in the world. If it is blurry, you won’t get the interest.
Respect your community. Community is everything. Every follower is choosing you because you have something they can relate too and thus want to be part of your “community”. Don’t post and ignore. Respond to comments, engage with your followers. Show them it is a two-way street.
Variety and diversification. If you are selling tires that is great. If you put a picture of a tire up every day for 100 days, you will lose more than you will gain. People want variety. They want change. Put the tire in a hat. Dress one up as Santa. Get creative.
Don’t post more than twice a day. Over-saturation of anything is bad. Think about those spam emails. I think you understand.
Timing. If nothing else, pay very close attention to this bullet point. Timing is so important in your strategy for success. So when is the best time to post? Glad you asked.
Weekend and mid-day week day are bad. If you are in a holiday or vacation spot, even worse for weekends. People are out on weekends and working during the week days. Yes, they have their smartphones that never leave their side, understood. Honestly, with staff meetings, desk audits and Pokemon searches, it is hard to keep up with Instagram during those times.
Mornings and evenings between 8 PM and 11 PM are big success times. When we wake up, Instagram. When we are home eating or watching commercials, we Instagram. Between innings of the game, we Instagram. Having that special alone time on the toilet, Instagram.
Bonus: If you post between 9:30 PM and 11:00 PM, you have the carry over effect. That means you will get a push in the evening and then a follow up in the morning for those that missed it due to the late posting time.
One thing to keep in mind is that most brands are regional (local). If you are focused on an international audience, these rules do not apply due to time zone differences.
Keep it clean – We clean our rooms, our kitchen, bathroom, cubicle, office and car. Why not keep your digital environment clean? Hmmm, valid thought. Every now and again, go through your posts and delete those that have lost relevance and treat your account as a re-birth every few weeks or months.
There we have it, your simple tips to a successful Instagram account. Be creative, diversify, respect your community and most of all, have fun.
Tomorrow two of Charleston’s newer establishments are having Wednesday Wine Events: Mercantile and Mash and The Eclectic Cafe & Vinyl. One is offering the event for profit, while the other is partnering with a local non-profit organization.

For generations, we have been defined by the brands we carry by our sides. From Louis Vuitton to Prada, brands address other’s perceptions of our place in society. That is why advertising is a multi-billion -dollar industry where creative and often neurotic minds sit in rooms thinking of ways to convince us of what to buy and what it’s implied value is to us.
Charleston is a foodie community. There is no denying it. In fact, we flaunt it with every chance we get. With each new restaurant opening, an unofficial holiday is launched. We treat dining like the rest of the country views weather. Food is a form of celebration in Charleston. It is our opus. With that, we pose the question, are we defined by our Charleston food brand?
Yesterday, I went to The Bearded Café. A friend raved about this new hip new coffee shop on Spring Street and the word in the Yelp community was a huge thumb’s up. My experience overall was wonderful, with its quaint interior, heavenly aroma and great customer service.
I entered and the very energetic barista asked me what I like. I said naturally black coffee. I like good black coffee. He recommended the drip. I ordered a 10 ounce due to the fact that this was only a quick stop on my way to brunch.
The bill: $3.54 before tip.
This is 48% more than a 16 ounce Starbucks coffee. Was the coffee amazing. It most certainly was. As I walked with that Bearded Café sleeve and thought about Black Tap, one of my other favorite coffee havens, I realized, I was walking around with a Charleston Food brand. Were others observing my refined taste in java? Was it worth four dollars for a ten-ounce cup? I don’t know the answer, nor am I ready to debate it.
Then I took a deeper thought and remembered those nights at the bar. Laughing at Halls Chophouse, parading on The Stars rooftop, lingering outside of Husk or dining outdoors at Leon’s Oyster Shop. Being seen is important. Where you are seen is social status critical. With the explosion of social media, a post from one of the top Charleston restaurants can put you on the map.
Are we aware of the importance of the Charleston Brand? Do we consciously put on our best dress or sports jacket and enjoy an extended happy hour at the finest restaurants in town? These are viable questions.
As this city continues to evolve into a high end dining mecca, we must stop for a moment to reflect on this. Can this Charleston brand phenomenon affect food and beverage prices? If you are observing the rate of food price increases vs. inflationary growth, it is already happening.
Is a shrimp and grits breakfast with a mimosa and coffee worth $32 – $36 dollars per person for Sunday Brunch the right value? I will let you decide that.
We would love to hear your thoughts on the implied Charleston brand.
Are we being praised for our linkage to certain food brands or violated?
