Free Fun Things To Do This Summer

Summer is now in full swing! The sun is out, the pools are open, and everyone is working on their tans. But one problem I've noticed that I've hit this summer is finding fun things to do that are free. As a college student almost all the money I earn this summer will have to go to tuition, housing, books and more. After this realization I decided I needed to find some things to do this summer without burning a hole through my already holy jeans! I'm sure I'm not the only one in this predicament and decided to share my ideas with you! 

My first idea originates from my love of photography and cool walls. Grab a friend and your phone or a camera and go find some cool colored walls around your town to take pictures with. My friend Ashley and I found at least 8 cool walls to take pictures with and had a blast shooting each other as we made these great discoveries.

One of my most favorite things in the world to do is go hiking. I love the smell of of the mountains and being surrounded by nature. Utah has some of the prettiest mountains ever and I feel so blessed to be so close to so many hiking trails. Hiking helps me clear my mind, leads me on fun adventures with friends and family, and shows me the beauty of this incredible world. So if you're bored and need to get out of the house this summer, put on some tennis shoes and start climbing!

Summer would never be complete without a fire pit and some s'mores! Camp fires are really easy and fun and always lead to good times. Grab your friends, some fire wood, and don't forget the brilliant instructions: "First, you take the mallow".... 

One thing I love to do when I'm bored is try new recipes. Pinterest is full of fun and delicious ideas of cool summer treats you can make with friends and family...or even by yourself! And lets be honest, we all love good food!

During the summer there are a ton of concerts going on. But what some people don't know is that there are a lot of FREE concerts going on. Sure, they aren't the concerts of famous artists and they probably aren't singing the songs you hear on the radio...but they are really fun! If you look up your city you can usually find them at parks in your area. I go all the time with my family. We take blankets and a picnic and always have a grand old time!

What are some things you like to do in the summer?

Motivational Running Playlist

Running is one of my favorite ways to exercise, but I find it hard to stay motivated without the right music. I constantly find myself running to the beat of whatever song I'm listening to and if it isn't upbeat, fun, and motivating it can be hard to keep going. So here are some of my favorite songs to run to that help keep me going. And now that the weather is getting warm again I can run outside!! 

Hope these songs help keep you motivated on your runs as well!

What songs do you like to listen to on a run?

Viva Las Vegas

This weekend my sister Mikall and I decided to hit up Vegas for some sisterly bonding, good food, and most importantly...THE TENORS!

My sister has loved this group for years and has passed the love onto me. So when they decided to come to Vegas we knew we would have to make the trip down just to see them in concert. And it was totally worth it. They are so amazing live and they are really easy on the eyes ;) haha! The concert was definitely the highlight of the trip. Check out their website here.

I loved the fact that the hotel we stayed in did not have a casino and did not allow smoking. We stayed at the Trump International Hotel and it was gorgeous. We had a great view and it was nice to be a bit further away from the drinking, smoking and gambling.

We also had time to hit up Guy Fieri's restaurant "Go Big Or Go Home" and the food was to die for! We got the BBQ chicken wings and a burger. They were the best wings and burgers I have ever had. If you go to Vegas I would highly suggest you take the time to eat there.

I had such a blast with my sister and I really miss the sun. All in all it was a great weekend!
