Hello Thursday! Chelsea here.

Welcome back to another week, my friends. We’re kicking this week off with something that feels increasingly hard to predict: the weather. Whether you’re a Farmers’ Almanac kind of person or you stick with official reports from NOAA, they’re in agreement this year about what kind of weather we’ll be having for the holidays. But no matter what the weather says, keep in mind that Ohio weather is always going to do what Ohio weather wants to do! 🤣

Winans Chocolate + Coffee Is Ohio's Best-Kept Chocolate Secret 🍫
I don’t believe in keeping secrets when it comes to chocolate. Winans is criminally underrated and with Christmas and Valentine’s Day right around the corner, it’s a great time to discover (or rediscover!) this local gem.
