Just picked up a @pelacase and brought it along for a slow morning at the bookstore 📚🌿 I love that it’s simple, stylish, and actually good for the planet. They’re 100% biodegradable and made from sustainable materials. Little swaps like this make a difference 💚🌎

Lunch stop at Sí Señor Peruvian Sandwiches in Columbus, Ohio! ⭐️ @sisenorcolumbus

I brought my sister with me because it’s family-owned, and I figured… why not treat her to fresh ingredients and bold Latin flavors in a fun, welcoming atmosphere. We were seriously impressed.

The Latin-Style Club and Jumping Beef sandwiches were our favorites and packed with flavor, made with house-roasted meats, homemade sauces, and fresh ciabatta. The homemade chips were a standout, too!! Super crispy and addictive 😊

It’s a great spot for a quick, quality lunch with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Definitely one to add to your Columbus food list.

Food featured:
- Latin Style Club
- Chipotle Chicken
- Jumping Beef
- Chicharron
- Town Center Grilled Cheese
- chips
- Cilantro Cream Pasta Salad

Build your own charm bar at @littleskystone 🩵 I got to design my own charm necklace from start to finish, and let’s just say, I’m OBSESSED.

From dainty gold chains to unique charms that actually mean something to you, this experience is such a cute way to treat yourself or make a meaningful gift. Think: bestie date, birthday celebration, or solo self-love moment 💫

Each piece is handcrafted (by you!) in Columbus Ohio and made with real stones + high-quality metals so it’s just as durable as it is dreamy.

📍Run, don’t walk, to @littleskystone for your DIY charm necklace. Trust me, it’s the kind of memory (and jewelry) you’ll wear forever 💎

Free things to do in Ohio 🏇 @northfieldpark

Free fun in Ohio? Don’t sleep on Northfield Park 🐎

There’s something so nostalgic about the horse races here, it gives old-school date night or family outing vibes, and l’d love to see it booming again.

It’s totally free to get in, and honestly, it could be such a cute hangout spot if more young people started going. Grab a drink, place a bet for fun, and feel like you’re in a movie.

“How do you make friends as an adult?”

Honestly… such a fair question. It’s something I’ve been asked so many times and the truth is, it’s not always easy.

Most of the amazing friends I’ve made here in Columbus have been through book clubs and groups like @citygirlssocial , so when they announced they were starting a book club?! I was all in.

It’s open to all the girlies, so if you’re looking for a way to meet like-minded women who love reading (and a good group chat), this is your sign to join 🫶📚

Live from Cleveland… it’s me pretending I’m on SNL 😌🎤 @rockhall

Checked out the new SNL exhibit at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and it’s a must for pop culture lovers!! There are so many behind-the-scenes moments, featuring the AMAZING @nbcsnl music performances and so many legendary looks 👏🏼

If you’ve watched every skit like it’s Oscar-worthy and replayed the musical performances like they’re on your Spotify Wrapped… this one’s for you.

Can’t wait to see what we end up choosing for our big day! 💍🎉

Just had the most relaxing experience at M.Vince Nail Spa in Hilliard, Ohio and I highly recommend it for your next self-care day! I got a red gel pedicure and not only is the color giving classy & confident, but the service was top-tier. ✨

If you’re in the Columbus or Hilliard area and looking for a clean, professional nail salon with a luxe vibe… this is your sign! From the calming atmosphere to the attention to detail, they nailed it 😍💅🏼 @mvincenailspa.hilliard

Mochi Ring in Columbus is a must-try if you’re craving something fun, flavorful, and a little outside the box 🍩

We tried the Korean corn dog coated in crunchy ramen, a Korean curry chicken bowl with yum yum sauce (SO good), a mango milk tea, and a mango fruit tea 🥭 And of course… the star of the show the mochi donuts! My fave was the fruity pebbles and Michael was team chocolate 🍫

It’s the perfect spot for a sweet + savory combo and a cute bite in Columbus 👅💛

Nightlight 614, Columbus Ohio 🍿 21+ only

I think the concept of a movie under the stars is AMAZING!!! 🤩

And of course I had a good time watching an outdoor movie, enjoying my friends company and eating delicious food from various local Ohio restaurants! 10/10 chefs kiss!

I recommend trying nightlight 614 if you live in Columbus Ohio or surrounding areas. 👏🏼

However, I can’t lie and say this event seems to be built for season pass holders! Which 100% is worth getting if this event interests you!

I was one of the first people in line for GA and because season pass holders get let in 30 minutes early there is NEVER any seating in the middle section so you’re forced to awkwardly and uncomfortably sit on the sides on the screen. And I can’t lie I was pretty uncomfortable the entire movie.

But do I recommend you go, yes! At least once! You can form your own opinion and it’s a really cool option to experience movies outside downtown!

Saturday mornings in Worthington, Ohio are made for the Worthington Farmers Market 🍅🌸

Whether you’re a Columbus local or just visiting, this market is one of the best in Central Ohio. You’ll find everything from farm-fresh produce and locally roasted coffee to handmade pastries, soaps, flowers, and small-batch goods from Ohio makers.

It’s definitely one of the bigger, busier markets compared to Westerville, but that just means there’s even more to explore. I recommend getting there early to avoid parking stress and grab your favorites before they sell out. It’s the perfect spot to support local farmers and small businesses while enjoying the charm of historic Worthington.

If you’re looking to spend your weekend supporting local and shopping small in Ohio—this is it!

Have you ever gone down the rabbit hole of those viral ear cleaning videos? 👂✨ Yeah… same. So when I found out that the FDA approved Otoset Ear Cleaning system made its way to Powell, Ohio (just outside Columbus), I ran to try it.

If you’re anything like me and love a little instant gratification, just WAIT until you see the wax come out. It’s oddly satisfying, kind of therapeutic, and honestly my ears have never felt so clean. Like… surround-sound levels of clean.

The best part? It doesn’t hurt at all. It just tickles a little in the weirdest but most fun way 😂 And it seriously works! My fiancé and I can finally hear without blasting our AirPods and I’ve officially retired my Q-tips forever.

If you’re in or around Columbus and want to try it for yourself, this is your sign. Trust me, it’s worth it. Drop ear wax in the comments and I’ll send you the booking link.

Clean ears
Crystal clear sound
Viral-worthy experience
And it’s local

Let’s hear it for taking your self care to the next level 💁🏽‍♀️💛

If you’re a foodie, Westerville Farmers Market is where it’s at 🥒🍅 @westervillefarmersmarket

Compared to the Dublin market (which is super cute but more boutique + craft-focused), the Westerville Farmers Market is all about the food. Fresh produce, baked goods, sauces, spices, dips, local meats— you name it. And the best part? It was WAY less crowded ( Perfect for a chill Saturday morning stroll.

This week’s fave: The Crazy Cucumber’s ranch pickles 🥒 @thecrazycucumberllc
Zesty, tangy, crunchy goodness. If you love ranch and pickles, you need these in your life.

Happening every Saturday from 9-12 in Uptown Westerville-go hungry!

If you don’t know Kelsey (maybe you’re new here), you should.

She is the kindest, most loyal, and genuinely supportive soul I’ve ever met. Kelsey has never once doubted me or my dreams and trust me, she’s cheered me on louder than I’ve ever cheered for myself.

She gives endlessly, cares deeply, and loves fiercely. Whether it’s fighting for the planet, uplifting her friends, or just being there when you need someone most Kelsey shows up. Every single time.

She’s the definition of a girls’ girl. The kind of friend who remembers the little things, defends you when you’re not in the room, and somehow manages to be both a warm hug and a firecracker of strength.

To know her is to love her and I’m beyond lucky to do both. Happy birthday to the sunshine in every storm, the realest one out there, and the truest friend anyone could ever ask for. 💛🌎✨ @kelsnoland @no_landfill_clothing

I designed my wedding website on Zola and I’m in love! @zola

I wish I could edit the templates a little bit more, but I found one that I love and works for me. I love the ability to add photos and change page heading if needed.

I especially like people can just rsvp directly on the website and you can collect guest information.
