🌲 Zaleski State Forest Is An Underrated Gem

Sponsored by the Columbus SymphonyStarting this season, the Columbus Symphony is launching “We are here for you,” an innovative three-year plan centered on extraordinary and meaningful service to the central Ohio community. As the Symphony works to be here for all residents of Columbus and surrounding areas, they will be focused on removing barriers, such as cost and physical location to advance our community impact. You can learn more about the program by visiting ColumbusSymphony.com. 🎶❤️

Happy Friday! Chelsea here.

I can't believe January is already almost over, but I have to admit, I'm ready for spring. Whether you're planning trips for the warmer weather, or you're looking to do a little winter exploration, a visit to Zaleski State Forest should definitely be on your to-do list. It's such a beautiful area that's overlooked way too often. Get out there and see what Ohio has to offer, friends!

Does anyone else feel like Columbus is going through a little "glow up" right now? Gucci will open its first stand-alone location in Ohio at Easton later this spring.

Bake Me Happy is one of my all-time favorite places! I'm excited that they're expanding into a new space, and that they are still calling the South End home.
