Hey, Raleigh! This is Jennie Kowaleski taking over this week. I’m the owner of Azura Skin Care Center and when the Raleigh Weekend team told me they were doing an issue all about keeping it local this holiday season, I knew it was a perfect time to accept their invite to jump in and lend some ideas! Check out all of the places where you might bump into me this weekend.
But First… There’s Still Time to Win a Ham!
This might be my favorite giveaway to date! Don’t be a victim of the Ham Jam. This month, Annie Meadows and Ryan Boone at Hudson Residential are giving away a $50 gift card to Honey Baked Ham to help you beat out the traffic and backups.
