No secret: I LOVE coffee. Coffee shops, coffee cups, and coffee community. What else do I love? Community. Collaboration. Creativity. Conversation. All of these, paired with the obvious one, Caffeination, combine to create a powerful quintet.

Speaking of numbers, here's a new duet on the horizon this week in Greenville: Sarah and Whitney. From Caffeinated and Chaotic to The Scribble Studio to the upcoming A Girls Guide to Greenville, Whitney is a superstar of color, jubilance, and enthusiasm. I couldn't be more excited to "caffeinate to collaborate" with her on Wednesday.

What's Wednesday, you ask? Why, it's the Visit Greenville SC takeover with Whitney! Featuring local businesses, local people, and your new Greenville duet, we have a packed day of frolic planned.

My favorite new Kate Spade notebook assisted in the photo shoot.

How can you follow our social media adventures? Starting at a very early hour on Wednesday (admittedly much earlier than I normally rise), we'll be sharing with you through posts and stories on the @visitgreenvillesc Instagram. You can also check out @strikesofluck, @caffeinatedandchaotic, and @thescribblestudio, if you're interested in learning more prior to the project.

From our meeting at The Village Grind today over a lavender mocha to our imminent flurry of photography and fun on Wednesday, I hope we can showcase the great local flavor of Greenville for all to see. Whether you're a Greenville native, visitor, hopeful tourist, or viewer from across the world, this Girls Guide to Greenville will be one for the books.

Lucky Strike of the Day: I went to Lidl for the first time! A bit of Germany in the US, Greenville is one of the first Lidl US locations. Check out my Instagram story for more tasty photos!
