Hello Friday! Chelsea here.

Welcome to December, friends! I can’t believe how fast this year has gone. I’m sure this month will zoom by too, but I mean to make the most of it! Some fantastic events are going on across this city over the next 31 days, so if your holiday season isn’t too busy, start planning! I’m kicking things off this weekend at Village Lights, so if you are there too and you happen to see me, please say hi!
