Full Fairbanks Alaska Itinerary for an Amazing Trip

by Anna Cook | May 26, 2021 | Destinations, Hiking, Travel, USA

Things to Remember -The weather can be unpredictable! Some days the high is negative 30, some days it can be a warm 25 degrees so check the weather often and pack accordingly!  -Depending on the time of year you go there might not be much sunlight. We went in...

My hope is that this blog helps inspire you to travel, take risks, and do what truly makes you happy.

Week in my life: the AM + PM routine helping me ke Week in my life: the AM + PM routine helping me keep up with life rn 🧠✨

can we talk about how being a mom to a very busy toddler + running a business + trying to have a life outside of both = zero room for brain fog

that’s where @andmindreal comes in. their AM/PM system has been part of my morning and night routine for a few weeks now and honestly the focus difference during the day is real! Less of that 2pm wall, more actually getting through my to-do list instead of just staring at it 😅

what i love:
🌤️ AM formula → clarity + focus without the jittery caffeine crash feeling
🌙 &Mind PM → helps me actually wind down instead of doom scrolling till midnight
✈️ the travel packs are made for my life — tossed a few in my bag for our Sedona trip and didn’t have to think twice

Date nights in Utah that cost less than your Targe Date nights in Utah that cost less than your Target run 🛒➡️🥂

Save this before you default to dinner and a movie again:

🧖‍♀️ @utahlakesauna — lakeside Nordic sauna at Utah Lake State Park, cold plunge straight into the lake between rounds. $36 for a community session and you’ll leave feeling reset.

🦁🍻 @hoglezoo Brew — the zoo, but make it a grown-up night. Drinks, live music, and you get to see the animals without 800 strollers in your way.

🛶 Provo River float with @highcountryrafting — grab a tube, float Provo Canyon for about 90 minutes, shuttle included. Bring snacks, bring sunscreen, forget your phone exists (maybe don’t bring it as we have lost a few to the river 😅)

🎨 @colormemineslc — paint pottery you’ll actually keep. Zero skill required, maximum “we made something together” points.

♨️ @mystichotsprings — vintage cast-iron tubs fed by natural hot springs in Monroe, mountain views. This one’s a longer drive (~2.5-3 hrs) so plan it as a day trip or overnight, not a quick sitter-window date.

🔥🍫 Campfire + s’mores up American Fork Canyon — pull off anywhere scenic, build a fire, and let the conversation do the rest. Please adhere to local fire restrictions (save this one for the winter!) 

More low-key options if you’re short on time or budget:
🎳 Bowling league night — cheap, easy, a little competitive
🍦 Split a dessert flight somewhere new, skip dinner entirely
🌅 Sunset drive up a canyon with gas station snacks and good music
🎨 Paint night at home with a $10 kit instead of a studio
🍿 Free outdoor movie night at a city park (check your rec calendar)

Most of these don’t need a sitter for more than 2 hours or a big budget.

Want more like this? Comment UTAH and I’ll send you my full Utah guide — date nights, discounts and more are all in there.

Which one are you trying first? 👇
