January 22-29

Hey Locals!

Is it cold or is it just me? 🥶 They’re predicting anywhere from 10–61 inches of snow this weekend… which my kids are VERY excited about. Me? Not so much.

I’m trying to be outside going to all the things — not trapped inside watching snow fall.

The good news is most of it is supposed to hit Sunday into Monday, so we should still be able to enjoy events Friday and Saturday… and fingers crossed we get Monday off too 🤞🏾.

With Valentine’s Day coming up, I kicked off a new series called “Somewhere to Love” over on my IG channel 💕

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing some of my favorite romantic spots around Maryland — places that feel special without feeling forced or overhyped.

Make sure you’re following along, and comment on the ones you love so I know which ideas to share more of 👀

BTW did you here about the Las Vegas Sphere they are adding to National Harbor? If not, see my deep dive here.

GIVEAWAY

Raise Nation is giving away 4 tickets to this DJ’ing workshop for Valentine’s Day — perfect if you want something fun and different this year.

Dine Around Maryland Club

If you (or someone you know) loves eating out, this is one of the best ways I’ve found to save money while still going out regularly.

The Dine Around Maryland Club is $195 and gives you 50% off your bill every time you dine out at participating locations — across 17 counties + Baltimore City.

There are 150+ restaurants on the list, including some of my favorites — and yes, spots that sell crabs 🦀 (which can easily run $99+ a dozen).

It works for up to 4 people on one bill, which makes it a great gift for foodies or a smart move if you’re trying to go out more in 2026 without blowing your budget.

I’m using mine this weekend and already planning where to eat next.

Lucky Strike Bowling Opening in Columbia, MD

First Come First Availability:

  • Free Bowling Fun – One free game per guest*

  • Arcade Awesomeness – $10 arcade card on the house

  • Tasty Bites – Complimentary snacks while supplies last

  • Photo Ops & Good Vibes – Snap some pics, make some memories

This is a good chance to check out the new location and have some fun for adults and kids too!

At Home Date

Learn Salsa Dancing

We may or may not be snowed in starting this weekend, so here’s a fun at-home idea you can do as a couple — or even solo — that doesn’t feel boring or forced.

Learn Salsa Dancing 💃🏾🕺🏽

It’s one of those things a lot of us say we want to learn… but never actually do. You can start for free at home using YouTube tutorials, no pressure and no experience needed.

Bonus: MGM has a Salsa night on Thursdays, so once you’ve got a few moves down, you can actually go show them off 😉

Make it a whole vibe — grab chips & salsa, order Mexican food, light a candle, and turn a possible snow day into something fun.

If you try this, reply and tell me how it went — I love hearing what you’re doing.
