Hello, Monday! Chelsea here.

Welcome back to another week, my friends. Between the chillier temperatures and the pollen, my allergies don’t quite know what to make of the weather lately. But I suppose that’s just Ohio in April. When you work from home, sometimes you just need a change of scenery. If you’ve been looking to get out and explore Columbus in a cozy sort of way, then I’ve got great news for you. There are so many places around this city where the vibes are incredibly chill. So put on your most stylish athletic wear, pop a cute hat on, and enjoy one cozy AF day.

💦 15 Waterfalls That Make The Perfect Day Trip From Columbus
April showers bring May flowers, but they also bring something else I love. Spring rain makes our local waterfalls absolutely dreamy. Some of these waterfalls are right here in town while some are more of a journey, but all of them are totally worth it!

🎠 The Best Things To Do This Summer At The Columbus Commons
Okay so obviously, it’s not summer just yet. But the weather is getting a lot nicer and festivities at the Columbus Commons have already begun! Whether you’re looking to catch a concert or hoping to find something fun for the whole family, the Columbus Commons should definitely be on your list of places to visit this summer.
