Happy Thursday! Chelsea here.

If you've been looking for an outdoor dining option this winter that doesn't require you to freeze, I have the perfect solution for you! Easton Town Center has set up some "EGLOOS", small igloo-like tents that are cozy, chic, heated, and full of COVID-19 precautions. They seat 4-6 people and they've got different pricing depending on which restaurant you're ordering from. I absolutely love the magical winter wonderland vibes these little structures are giving off and I can't wait to hear about everyone's igloo experience.

Have you ever wondered what the most expensive homes look like around Columbus? Because I certainly have. So we decided to take a look at the most expensive homes on the market right now in six different neighborhoods around the city. There are some seriously gorgeous homes in this bunch!

Looking for something fun to do on these winter weekends? You should probably head up to Snow Trails and check out their neon-inspired Glow Tubing. Perfect for date nights and family outings alike, Glow Tubing is a great way to get out and have a little fun in the great outdoors.

The Olentangy Trail

is a 14 mile bike path from downtown Columbus all the way to Worthington. Except for a .6 mile section that is on city streets. Columbus will be presenting five plans this evening from 6-730 PM on how we might move forward with connecting that last little bit. A final decision will be made this spring.

Franklin Park Conservatory bonsai

I've always thought this is the best time of year for Franklin Park Conservatory. Specifically, right now, January & February. It's very refreshing to head in on a cold, gray day for a literal breath of fresh air in the humidity and heat. The Conservatory has singlehandedly given me the life goal of owning a backyard greenhouse where I plan on spending every winter minute possible. #goals 🌳🔥
