Sometimes seasonal depression hits harder than expected: the shorter days, colder weather, and less motivation to cook can all add up. But taking care of yourself starts from the inside out 💚

That’s why I’m so glad I stopped by the @cleaneatzcolumbusohio Ohio event! They make it so easy to stay on track with nutritious, ready-to-grab meals and local meal prep options that take the stress out of eating well 🥗✨

Your nutrition matters just as much as your movement and your mental health, so if you’re feeling low this season, start small with meals that fuel you, not drain you. 💪

Thank you @marissa_sturkey for the invite!!

And shout out to @saucerevival for healthier sauce that still tastes delicious

Thing to do this Christmas in Columbus Ohio! 💚

✨🎄 Christmas in Columbus, Ohio is officially here and this city knows how to do the holidays right! If you’re looking for festive things to do this 2025 season, here are four must-do holiday experiences around Ohio:

1️⃣ See The Nutcracker Ballet at the stunning Ohio Theatre (39 E State St.), presented by BalletMet from December 11–28, 2025. This classic Columbus tradition is the perfect cozy night out tickets start around $50+

2️⃣ Experience Wildlights at the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium from November 21, 2025 – January 4, 2026. Wander through millions of glittering lights, festive displays, and animal encounters. Admission is included with your zoo ticket (about $35.99 for adults if you’re outside Franklin County), and trust me it’s worth every penny!

3️⃣ Shop local at Columbus Holiday Markets like the North Market Bridge Park Holiday Market (mid-December) or check out dozens of local pop-ups and artisan fairs across the city. It’s the best way to support small businesses while finding unique gifts and seasonal treats.

4️⃣ Sip, sparkle, and celebrate at Christmas pop-up bars across the city: like the iconic XMAS Bar in the Short North or the 12 Bars of Christmas Crawl happening December 13, 2025. Expect festive cocktails, over-the-top décor, and major holiday vibes.

Whether you’re watching The Nutcracker in a historic theatre, strolling through Wildlights, supporting local makers, or clinking cocktails under the mistletoe, there’s no better place to celebrate Christmas in Columbus ❤️🎅

You have to take whoever sent you this to a Cleveland Browns game (I don’t make the rules 🤎🧡)

Today was MAGICAL 🏈 The Cleveland Browns invited us out to the game, and we even got to go on the field!

Experiencing it with my dad, a lifelong Browns fan, made it even more special. It was our first in-person game together, and seeing the excitement in his eyes was something I’ll never forget.

If you’ve never been to a Browns game at Cleveland Browns Stadium, add it to your bucket list!! The energy is unreal. Browns fans are truly die-hard… they’ll sit through the rain, snow, and wind just to cheer on their team 🏈

A few game day tips if you’re planning to go:
🕐 Get there early! Parking and security lines can get busy, and you don’t want to miss pregame warm-ups or player intros.
👜 Bring a clear bag: it’s the only kind allowed inside the stadium.
💳 Bring a card or mobile payment: the stadium is completely cashless.
🧥 Dress for the weather: this is Cleveland, so expect anything! Layers, ponchos, gloves ALL OF IT.

From the easy stadium entry to the incredible atmosphere (and the Browns WIN!), it was the perfect day to share with my dad. 🧡

Thank you so much to the Cleveland Browns for such an unforgettable experience. It’s one we’ll be talking about forever!

Just had the sweetest Columbus night out with my favorite girls at Palm Valley Cocktails in Dublin, Ohio! ✨🍸

We ordered the pimento cheese dip (10/10 recommend) & popcorn and sipped on the prettiest cocktails ( I got a mocktail 🥰) while chatting about our latest read. Nothing better than good books, good food, and even better company 💕

Columbus Ohio, I just tried @enchantea.us and you won’t want to miss it 💚🧋

Not only is the space totally magical, but they serve the most unique teaspresso drinks (think espresso-style shots, but made with tea!). Every sip is smooth, rich, and so different from anything else you’ll find in the city. ✨

The best part? They give you a passport where you can track each drink you’ve tried which makes every visit feel like a little adventure. ✈️

Whether you’re slowly working your way through the menu or just popping in for a cozy latte moment, Enchantea makes tea time feel special.

Ohio vlog - day in the life of a 26 year old stay at home fiancée (no 2 days look the same obviously) 🤭✨

Whenever I can I love to start the day at the gym. It puts my mood in the right place!
Today I went to @amelianailspa2025 for a nail refresh and I’m loving my new set! 💅🏼

After some chores I made my way to @vellaandco for custom candle making for my wedding!!! I posted an entire video on this so be sure to check in out! Shout out @natalees0495 🩷

Then I had an obligatory @marshalls run with a visit to @enchantea.us for a much needed drink 🧋

Ended my day with some dancing, more chores, editing & soup (cause it’s good
for the soul, duh!!) 🥣

One of the sweetest details we’re adding to our wedding day? Custom wedding candles made at @vellaandco 🕯️✨ I’ve always loved the idea of having a signature scent for our big day — something that instantly reminds us of the love & magic we will feel on our wedding day!

During my candle-making experience, I got to explore fragrance families and mix different notes until I found the perfect blend. Our wedding candle has hints of dark rose and oak moss, which feels wintery, romantic, and timeless — exactly the vibe I want when we say ‘I do.’ 💍

The best part? These candles will not only be part of our wedding day, but they’ll also be something we can light on anniversaries and special occasions to relive the memory forever. It’s such a thoughtful touch that makes everything feel more personal and intentional. ✨

If you’re a bride-to-be (or just a candle lover in Columbus, Ohio), I can’t recommend @vellaandco enough for creating your own custom candle experience. It’s perfect for weddings, bridal showers, bridesmaid gifts, or even just treating yourself. 🕊️

A little peek into a day in my life here in Columbus, Ohio ✨ As a 26-year-old stay-at-home fiancée, my days look a little different each time, but this one was such a good mix of productivity + fun.

I started the morning with some fresh air at Prairie Oaks Metro Park 🌿—one of my favorite spots to hike and just reset before diving into the to-do list. The rest of the afternoon was dedicated to all the not-so-glam but very necessary parts of life: lots of cleaning, wedding planning (aka spreadsheets + Pinterest overload 💍), and editing videos to share with you guys.

By evening, I switched gears and made a little stop at Dick’s Sporting Goods to finally grab some gear so I can start playing tennis 🎾 (hold me accountable lol). For dinner, I treated myself at The Rail in Grandview Heights.

To wrap up the night in the most magical way, I went to the Water Lantern Festival 🌙✨ Watching the lanterns float across the water with music and community around me felt like such a full-circle, grounding moment.

It was one of those days that perfectly balanced simple routines, new adventures, and sweet little joys. 💫

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
