Yesterday was the start of Libra season, aka MY season. Yes, I’m a Libra… couldn’t you tell by my charm, style, and inability to make decisions?

Happy Libra season to all my fellow Libras! I hope you have a well-balanced season full of easy choices and moments of relaxation, surrounded by people just as hot as you. 😉 

And in the spirit of keeping things peaceful, balanced, and easy on the ears, today’s giveaway feels VERY Libra-coded. Enter to win tickets to Iron & Wine at ​The 5th Avenue Theatre on 10/13!
