What happens when you mix creativity, community, and caffeine?

You get Sip & Create—our latest Creative Growth Club event that brought local creators together for an afternoon of intentional connection, creative play, and content magic.

We hosted Sip & Create at Cuppa Manna - Summerville, and it was truly the perfect backdrop for our laid-back, creative afternoon. The space already had the cozy, cute coffee shop energy we were going for—warm lighting, comfy seating, and just enough buzz to keep the ideas flowing. We didn’t have to style a thing—the tables, the drinks, the vibe—it all worked effortlessly.

The team at Cuppa Manna was so welcoming and made it easy for us to take up space as creators. From iced matchas to cozy lattes, everything felt curated without being curated. If you’re ever looking for a spot to journal, film, or just refuel creatively, Cuppa Manna is that girl. We’re so grateful they hosted us—and we already can’t wait to go back.

Here’s what went down:

✨ The vibe: The moment you walked in, it felt like stepping into a cute neighborhood coffee shop—unfiltered, cozy, and full of creative energy. We didn’t overstyle or overthink it. We created right at the tables as they were, with our drinks in hand and our ideas flowing. It was relaxed, natural, and real—just a group of creatives making the most of the moment and the space. The kind of vibe that feels effortless but leaves you totally inspired.

🎨 The creative element: At the heart of the event was a shared Pinterest inspo board I created and revealed at the event. It was filled with cozy content ideas—think coffee shots, flat lays, soft self-portraits, and aesthetic vibes. Creators used it as a launchpad to spark their own content—whether they were shooting solo, collaborating, or just soaking up inspiration. It made the creative flow feel fun, intentional, and totally on-brand for the day.

🎁 The Giveaway: One lucky creator won a gifted brand collab opportunity = a free permanent bracelet experience from Beloved Welds Jewelry—a $95 value! The prize was all about celebrating consistency and creativity in our community.

🤝 The People: The table had its own energy—from new creators launching their first page to seasoned influencers looking to reignite their spark. Everyone left with new friends, fresh ideas, and a stronger sense of community.

🗞️ A surprise interview?! We were so honored when a local creative entrepreneur stopped by to interview us for his upcoming magazine launch! CULTURE PROMOTED

He asked such thoughtful questions about what we’re building, and it was such a full-circle moment. Our community is getting noticed in the city—and this is only the beginning.
