Mystic Hot Springs…

July 12, 2018
Last week around the 4th of July we got to go visit Mystic Hot Springs! Which are located in Monroe, Utah. I have seen lots of pictures on Pinterest, as well as Instagram of the famous “bathtub hot springs.” It wasn’t until my friend Kayla started talking about them, that we realized it was only going to be 10 minutes from where we were headed for the 4th of July! So we decided to make a stop at the hot springs on our way! (so thanks Kayla!)
Let me tell you everything you need to know about these Pinterest-worthy hot springs! Make sure to buy passes before hand online (soaking tickets are $15 per adult and $7.50 per child — valid for 6 hours after check-in), bring your own towel, drink lots of water, and make sure you bring shoes/sandals that you are okay with getting wet and even a little muddy. There are bathrooms where you can change into your swimsuit as well, so don’t worry about having to change before getting there.
Mystic Hot Springs also offers lodging if you are wanting to stay super close to the hot springs. You can stay in these vintage buses, or their cabins which are both located on-site. Let me tell you something that might surprise you before you get there. If I had to describe this place in one word it would be hippie/boho. All of the decor and vibe is hippie. Which adds to the fun atmosphere of the hot springs, but I will say I wasn’t expecting that when we walked in. You can take a look inside all of the buses here and get more info on stays there!
There are a variety of different pools and tubs located at the Mystic Hot Springs you can enjoy. They have a shallow pool, a deeper pool, as well as 5 bath tubs to soak in. The bath tubs were my absolute favorite part, because they are integrated into the rock which makes them look so unique! There is also a range of temperatures throughout the different pools and tubs; so I would recommend dipping your hand or toe in before taking the plunge. It is really like taking a nice relaxing bath out in this beautiful area! Honestly, you could have given me a book and I would have soaked for hours!
The hot springs are built into the hill side and look almost like they just popped up over night! Like they were just there all along! If you are planning on getting in and out of the tubs to try a few (which I recommend doing), make sure to bring shoes/sandals you’re okay with getting wet, and maybe even a little muddy.
Since we did go at the beginning of July, I was expecting the hot summer weather! (Try 90 degrees)…So once the sun started to go down it felt really nice! We showed up around 7:00pm to check in and it was HOT. The lady at the front desk was very nice and made it such a pleasant experience! She explained where everything was and what to expect. 
It was very warm that day and I was nervous about getting in the HOT SPRINGS with it being so hot. So instead of heading to the hot springs right away, we got changed and decided to explore the area a little bit. We made sure to check out all the buses you can lodge in, which were actually super cute! They even have couches, furniture and lights on the inside to make them cozy.
We finally decided to get in the hot springs at around 8:30pm when the temperature started to go down. The bathtubs are surrounded in this beautiful red rock! So as the sun was setting it really looked like the rocks were on fire! You can see some of the stunning images below.
I was a little surprised that we didn’t see more people. When we arrived at 7:00pm we were the only people there besides one local guy for at least an hour and a half! A few more people showed up at 9:00, but not nearly as many as I had thought! It was a very relaxing oasis in the middle of the desert. I would love to go back when it gets colder, or even snows! I have seen so many beautiful photos of these hot springs with snow on the ground! Plus, imagine how amazing that would feel during cold weather. *sigh*
It was such a fun experience and I love discovering new places like this! I feel like it is so important to explore places that are in your own backyard. I can’t wait to share more beautiful places that are in Utah! Colin and I are having so much fun this year rediscovering Utah. I hope if you ever get the chance to be in the Southern Utah area, that you get to visit these unique hot springs and have fun!
xo,
Sara

Ew, David. A big red rock. We were trying very h Ew, David. A big red rock. 

We were trying very hard not to connect with people 😉 so we played a few games of pickle ball, climbed up Dixie rock, and spent time in some slightly-warmer-than-salt-lake-city-weather. We’ve had a great start to 2021 & I love that journey for us.
My top 9 of #2020! What👏🏻a👏🏻year👏🏻 Even through the unexpected quarantine, COVID, & working from home, I am so so grateful for this past year. While the world has been going through such uncertain times, I’m so grateful I’ve been able to focus on my whole world at home. Colin & I have both been able to work from home since March. We have got to spend everyday together & I’ve got to spend everyday at home with Rowan. It has been an absolute dream watching her grow up 🙌🏻 all year I have been wishing this year would be over. Now I can’t believe today is the last day of 2020. This year has been the absolute fastest and slowest year of my life. I am excited to see what 2021 holds & all the adventures it’ll bring to our little family. I hope you all have a wonderful New Year 🎉 #happynewyear #littlemissrowanand

✈️SAVE MONEY TRAVELING THIS HOLIDAY SEASON✈️

Need a weekend adventure or staycation? We sure did! This past weekend we were in need of some serious time out and about! We used @shareavail to book an SUV to take us to some of our favorite places around Salt Lake City and it ended up being the perfect local “getaway”.

Avail is a car sharing service (like Airbnb for cars). You can book through their app (available on iOS) or online. We booked through the app, got a suburban (say hello to the newest soccer mom😉), and saved so much money compared to a traditional rental! It also saves you so much time! Instead of waiting in line to rent a car, you reserve one through the app, shuttle/drive to the Avail parking lot, and they hand you your keys! NO LINES & no upsells! They also use a 12-step cleaning process to clean each vehicle before & after each use, so you can feel safe to borrow any vehicle from Avail! 

Avail is not only a great way to save money while traveling, but did you know you can also 💚MAKE MONEY💚 through Avail while you travel to visit your loved ones during the holidays or if your car is just sitting at home?? 

All you have to do is sign up through Avail to have your car borrowed while you are gone (or if it's just collecting dust outside your home)! 
🔹Check the Avail website to see if your car qualifies to be borrowed
🔹Park your car at the Avail airport lot
🔹Get free airport parking while you are gone
🔹Free car cleaning
🔹If your car is borrowed, you can make up to $25 a day!

Crazy right?! So whether your car is sitting idle, you are visiting from out of town, spending the day exploring your city, or taking a staycation, @shareavail is the perfect way to experiencing all your adventures this year! Use the code "APRETTYPENNYGIRL" to get $50 off your first booking, now until Dec. 31st. Now tell me, are you going anywhere fun this holiday season?⬇️⬇️

Shopping during the holidays can be so stressful! Shopping during the holidays can be so stressful! I usually end up buying a bunch of Christmas gifts & end up spending wayyyy more than I plan to 🙈 but, I have been using @afterpayusa to buy now & pay later to make my holiday shopping stress-free. So many of my favorite retailers use @afterpayusa, like @oldnavy! (Everything is 50% off right now! RUN🏃🏼‍♀️)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
@afterpayusa is the perfect way to shop now & pay later. It splits your total into 4 payments. Your first payment is due at checkout, & every payment after that is due every 2 weeks. See my stories to see what retailers are using AfterPay so you can have stress-free holiday shopping too! #sponsored #AfterpaytheHolidays #afterpayambassador
