The Clara Williams Trunk Show visits Croghan's Jewel Box May 7 and 8.
GEMS GALORE
Browse a bounty of new treasures at Croghan’s Jewel Box this month at two special trunk shows. First up, Clara Williams arrives just in time for Mother’s Day; the Chicago-based brand showcases their remarkable magnetic jewelry on May 7 and 8. With interchangeable necklaces and centerpieces, the possibilities are endless. Then, on May 23 and 24, the Elizabeth Locke Trunk Show offers magnificent, one-of-a-kind jewels that feature mini-mosaics, 19-karat gold, and colorful Venetian glass molds from the 17th century.

NAILING IT
Charleston’s eco-friendly nail salon, Mylkbar, now carries Olive & June nail art stickers. The L.A.-based, non-toxic nail concept promises to take your manis to new heights with dainty, intricate designs that can be added to regular or gel polish. At Mylkbar, pick one or two nails to decorate—or elect for designs on the whole set—and choose from an array of fun patterns. Nails decked out with tiny ice cream cones, adorable flamingos, and cheerful flowers make the perfect summer accessory; and with endless combinations of polishes and stickers, you’ll never get bored.

SWEAT IT OUT
Kick off spring with free fitness classes in Mount Pleasant Towne Centre’s new park area, The Oaks. Get your heart-rate up on May 1 with HARD-Core: a 45-minute high-intensity interval training class led by Jennifer Davis of JD Fitness. Open to all levels, this session of timed-intervals focuses on core, legs, and conditioning. Then, on May 15th, slow things down with a zen vinyasa flow class led by Susan Lake of Charleston Power Yoga. The SWEAT Series extends into June with free cycling classes at CycleBar, so you can keep the momentum going into summer. [1218 Belk Dr., mtpleasanttownecentre.com]
