Curiosity looks good on you..

“Behind the charm” is where you get the real me: the values I hold, the ways I connect, and the intentional experiences I create. This page is about honesty, warmth, and the authentic presence I bring to every moment we share.

So…Who am I?

I’m Charlotte,

— a New England girl thriving in the South, with a free spirit, a bubbly personality, and a wild side that keeps life lively. Life, for me, is about fully embracing experiences, people, and adventures, and finding joy in both the big moments and the quiet ones.

Curiosity, laughter, and a love of exploration guide everything I do. Whether it’s wandering through a new city, discovering a hidden café, tasting a flavor I’ve never tried before, or creating a moment that surprises and delights, I’m drawn to experiences that are vibrant, engaging, and full of life.

I believe in connection that feels effortless — the kind of conversation that flows naturally, laughter that lingers, and quiet moments that resonate long after they’ve passed.

I’m playful and magnetic, yet grounded and educated, with a natural sense of elegance in how I carry myself. I find joy in the little things — the warmth of a companionable evening, the satisfaction of creating something beautiful, and the laughter shared over a meal or a shared experience. Life is meant to be savored, and I approach it with intention, presence, and a touch of mischief.

Creativity is at the heart of who I am.

I spent ten years in fine dining, climbing the ladder to sous chef before transitioning into companionship, and cooking remains one of my greatest passions.

I love curating meals for intimate settings, crafting experiences that delight the senses, and sharing flavors that tell a story. Beyond the kitchen, I’m a crochet artist, designing everything from lingerie to one-of-a-kind pieces that reflect my personality and playful style.

As a painter, I take expression even further, using my body to create bold, tactile works on canvas, many of which are available for sale. Art, for me, is a language — a way to communicate, play, and create something entirely unique.

I approach life with confidence, curiosity, and a balance of refinement and spontaneity.

Every laugh, every gesture, and every moment of playfulness is part of how I connect with the world. I embrace both elegance and adventure, and I’m unafraid to explore all sides of myself.

For me, life is about the intersection of creativity, connection, and curiosity. Whether it’s preparing a meal, exploring a new city, or creating art that tells a story, I approach every experience with passion, presence, and a playful heart.

I invite those who meet me to share in that energy — to laugh, explore, and enjoy the journey together.

 Some of My Favorites

  • Cuisine is one of my favorite ways to experience the world. Being Sicilian, Italian food will always have a special place in my heart — it feels like home. That said, I truly love all cuisines and enjoy discovering new flavors, dishes, and dining experiences whenever I can.

  • I’ve always loved flowers for the way they brighten a moment. Roses are a favorite because they’re classic and romantic in the simplest way, and camellias because they feel soft, graceful, and effortlessly beautiful. They both have a charm that’s easy to love and never goes out of style.

  • Fragrance is something I notice right away. I love the smell of fresh coffee, warm vanilla, bright lemon, and cozy cinnamon — each for its own mood and moment. When it comes to perfume, I’m drawn to deeper, richer scents, especially fragrances like Christian Siriano Ooh La Rouge that feel warm, bold, and memorable.

  • I’m drawn to places that feel relaxed and a little charming. Cozy cafés with good coffee, quiet beach towns where time slows down, and cities with history and character are always my favorites. I love wandering through local markets, finding tucked-away restaurants, and anywhere that invites long walks, good conversation, and lingering a little longer than planned.

  • I’m drawn to colors that feel rich and full of personality. Candy apple red always catches my eye for its bold, playful energy, while emerald green feels timeless and grounding. Royal purple rounds it out with a touch of depth and elegance — confident, classic, and a little bit magical.
