Hello, Friday! Chelsea here.

Well, friends, we’ve made it to the end of another week. Is it just me, or is February absolutely flying by? We will be taking Monday off, so we’ll see you back here, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, at 6:15 a.m. on Tuesday. In the meantime, let me introduce you to what I’m certain will become your newest dinner obsession. Kura Revolving Sushi has been at the top of my list of places to visit for a month now, and I finally had the chance. It lived up to the hype and I cannot wait to go back. From the conveyor belt itself to the drink-slinging robot, it was a 10/10 experience for me.

🍪 Here’s Where to Find Girl Scout Cookies in Columbus
It’s that time of year again, friends! Girl Scout cookies are back and it’s easier than ever to find them around town. I’m talking “delivered straight to your house” easy.

📅 The Best Things To Do In Columbus This Weekend 
There’s so much happening around town this weekend and we’re due for some chillier weather. Embrace winter (since we’ve barely seen it this year) and be safe. Have a fantastic weekend, friends!
