Who doesn’t love lavender? Whether you’re sipping on a lavender latte or indulging in your favorite fragrant bath products, nothing is quite as soothing as a little lavender (martini?) at the end of a stressful workday.

Have you ever wondered about the benefits of lavender? You might be surprised to know that your favorite purple flower is actually good for you, as well as being beautiful and aromatic.

As jazz artist Nina Simone so aptly sang, "It's a new dawn, it's a new day, and I'm feelin' good!"

A beautiful new year lies ahead, and we are all about feeling good. Few things feed our bodies and souls like laughing with our loved ones over a delicious, healthy meal, and if there's one thing the Grit & Grace family loves to talk about, it's food.

Prepare to feast your eyes as we highlight our favorite healthy food in Charleston!

The magic of Christmas comes from the joy of gift-giving. All the lights on the tree dim in comparison to the sparkle in a loved one's eyes as they open a thoughtful Christmas present!

A simple, heartfelt gift can speak volumes, especially when your attention to detail extends to gift wrapping. An artfully wrapped gift lets the recipient know that you've put some heart, soul, and magic into their experience this holiday.

Let’s talk about grit.

According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, grit can refer to rough, hard bits of sand or the strength of mind or spirit, and it’s that fortitude that we’re delving into today.

Every week, we press pause on painting oyster shells and handcrafting ocean-inspired gifts to set our intentions and create our Monday mantra!

We believe that a heartfelt mantra is essential for mindfulness, grace, and creativity, so today in this post we'll answer all the questions you may have about crafting a personal mantra!

“A grateful heart is a magnet for miracles.”

We live by these words, so much that they are a core part of Grit & Grace Studio’s Manifesto. During our weekly meetings, the Grit & Grace family comes together to embrace grace, gratitude, and love.

Gratitude is not a momentary feeling, however, but a practice to be maintained and nurtured. Whether you're refreshing your current gratitude practice or just beginning your first gratitude meditation, we're sharing our tips and thoughts on cultivating a grateful heart.

Last year was so impactful in so many ways, and one of the pearls to arise from those storms has been our renewed focus on wellness. Wellness is vital to not just surviving but thriving, and we believe personal wellness is the foundation that allows us to be the change we want to see in the world.

Join us as we delve into what it means to center yourself in wellness. We’re excited to share some of our favorite ways to recharge and indulge.

As we leave the darkness of winter in our wake, we are so excited to celebrate this year’s spring equinox on March 20.

What’s the spring equinox? Equinoxes are the planetary phenomena that occur when the sun’s center aligns directly above the equator, typically around March 20 and September 23.

Join us as we celebrate the spring equinox, and let’s step forward together into the sunshine!

The beauty in every dawn is the opportunity to start anew, and we are so inspired as we set sail on this new year's journey.

We believe that a foundation of grit and gratitude allows us to approach life's ebbs and flows with an open heart.

We welcome you aboard our practice as we gaze into this beautiful new sunrise, set intentions for the new year, and rejoice in the adventures to come.
