Eeek! I’m absolutely THRILLED to share with you Girl About OHIO! This brand is a dream that I’ve been working on for quite awhile. Recently, I asked all of you why you follow Girl About Columbus. Although my brand has morphed into more of a personal venture in recent years, I am thrilled to get back to the basics – and the essentials – of what drives my passion and creativity.

While I have a ton of interests, with a high priority admittedly on style, it all comes back to travel, city guides, and photography. Years ago, I joke, but it’s true, that my favorite toys were Barbies and Matchbox cars.

I played with those for hours it felt like! I would drive my cars around a pretend city – sometimes on a car mat but sometimes I would also draw up houses and stores for them to go to. Another weird fact that has stayed with me – in junior high, my family & I took a trip to Boston. I was immediately obsessed – the architecture, the history, the sense of exploration. I also was blown away by this beautiful, detailed, colorful map of the city I found while I was there. Strange, I know. But, you probably know by now I’m a visual person – I always prefer to FaceTime friends & family because of this!

It’s time “Girl About” becomes what it was originally meant to be. A brand on a mission to provide stylish women with places to go, things to see, restaurants to eat at, hotels to stay out, and styles to wear. For now, you can follow Girl About OHIO on Instagram for the best places to explore in Ohio. But, there are more exciting things in the making!

So, welcome. I hope you stick around. It’s going to be FUN.
