Layering for Fall with Backcountry

Backcountry x Olivia Beth

I am “that” girl that loves the change of season between summer and fall and after how hot this summer was, I am welcoming fall with wide-open arms. 

One of my favorite fall activities is getting up in the mountains and hiking in the cooler temps. I LOVE going up to see the changing leaves and exploring the outdoors. Utah is the perfect place to do that, too! I love it here in the fall so much.

Don’t forget I have a list of all of my favorite Utah hikes here!

It definitely cools down quickly in Utah and I love layering my clothes to stay warm during my activities outside. 

This Free People jacket that I have from Backcountry has a regular fit so you could easily wear it with just a tank underneath or layer with a thicker sweatshirt underneath depending on how cold it is outside. For this shoot I layered it with my Beyond Yoga tank which is also from Backcountry! It is theeeeee softest tank ever. I want one in every color! It also has a built-in shelf bra.

I am a sucker for a good beanie and am so impressed with this Pendleton one. It comes in a lot of different colors too. Such great quality and keeps my ears so warm.

Whether you want your drink to stay cold or stay hot, you need to try a Yeti Rumbler! I love this size because it’s easy to grip and hold and keeps my drink temperature exactly how I want it. Before Will and I had kids, we loved to go hiking after we got off of work and bring some hot cocoa with us (7-11 has the best hot cocoa don’t @ me). Those nights together are still soe of my favorite memories together!

You’ve probably heard me say it before, but I think trail running and hiking shoes make the biggest difference! I love the grip on the bottom of THESE TRAIL RUNNING SHOES and feel like I have such an easier time going down if I have these on. How cute are these Nike ones? Stay true to size on these!

I also can’t believe it has taken me so long to try so many FP Movement items?! I love the comfort of these leggings and love that I can wear them on a hike or even just to lounge. I wore them flying out to California this past weekend and they were the comfiest! I am hooked.

Big Island Hawaii 🌺

Big Island Hawaii Olivia Beth

Big Island Hawaii

Ten days before we left on the trip, Will and I booked a VERY last-minute trip to Hawaii to celebrate his 30th birthday (and my birthday but 29 isn’t as cool 🤪). We usually aren’t very spur of the moment people but decided, why not!

Neither of us had ever been to the big island before and we absolutely LOVED it. There is SO much to explore on the island and although there is a lot of driving involved, we loved doing it with just us so we could chat so much with just each other. Bringing kids on this trip would’ve been hard for that reason. Lots of driving! However, it was all so beautiful so we didn’t mind.

One thing I loved about the big island was all of the amazing BEACHES! In my personal opinion, they are the best out of any island I’ve visited in terms of white sand, clear water, etc. They were incredible! We found a new beach each day of the trip and always said “Okay, now THIS is my new favorite beach.” and then the next one would be even better? They’re amazing!

We stayed on the Kona side about 30 miles north of the airport on the Mauni Lani property. There are so many beautiful resorts around there. We went to the Marriott property after dinner our first night to watch the sunset and it was beyond beautiful!

Hapuna State Beach Park

On our first day, we went to Hapuna State Beach Park which is a very popular beach among both locals and tourists. They have these great big rocks you can sit by to be in the shade but it’s full sun around 10 AM. We could’ve stayed at this beach all day! It’s also located on the Westin property if you stay there.

Captain Cooks Monument

Hiking down to snorkel at Captain Cooks Monument was a huge highlight of the trip! You can only access the monument by hiking down, kayaking, or taking a boat tour. The hike was really overgrown but was a fun adventure. If you do it, I would recommend starting no later than 7 AM. It gets really busy with the boat tours around 9 so it’s fun to be down there before the crowds come and then the hike back up can get hot so that’s why it’s nice to start earlier! Maybe do it on your first day when you’re wide awake at 4 AM 🤪

There are sea urchins EVERYWHERE in the water so be careful! And wear better water shoes than I did! I was stung by a sea urchcin on the right side of my foot where my Teva’s didn’t cover and it hurt like no other. Bring your snorkel gear and some snacks and have fun. It is some of the best snorkeling I’ve ever done!

Rookies in our “water shoes”. Bring shoes like THESE instead 👌🏼

Big Island Hawaii Olivia Beth

Manini’owali Beach

I loved following along on my friends Our Travel Passport Guide to Hawaii and it helped us navigate the island so well! They recommended we visit Manini’owali Beach and it was unbelievable. The clearest water I’ve ever seen and turtles just casually swimming around below us?! Highly recommend. It’s a pretty small/thin beach so maybe try to get there early if you have a big group. There’s no food around this beach so pack your own lunches.

Kona Hawaii Temple

We love finding temples every time we travel and the Kona one was so beautiful! It’s right in the heart of Kona so you can go walk around the grounds before/after you go to Captain Cook’s!

Polulū Valley

Polulū Valley is INCREDIBLE! You hike down (pretty steep) to a beautiful vallley on a black sand beach. There might be a waterfall you can find once you’re down there but there’s zero phone service so we couldn’t find where it was. So maybe learn from our mistake and load any details prior to hiking down 😎 It is so beautiful though! Highly recommend going to see it.

Big Island Hawaii Olivia Beth

Night Dive with Manta Rays

Another huge highlight of the trip was doing a night dive with the Manta Rays! We found My Kona Adventures on Groupon and it was great. We obviously haven’t done it before so I don’t know what to compare it to but we had a great time. You put floaties on your legs and hold onto a light board that the Manta Rays come to eat plankton off of. They are endangereed so you cannot touch them but it’s so amazing to see how close they come to you! Most of the ones we saw were about 12 feet wide. Unbelievable expereience!

Mauna Kea Beach

One of the most beautiful beaches we visited was the Mauna Kea beach. You have to get there before 7:30 AM to get a parking spot but waking up early is never a problem in Hawaii 😉 You can grab snacks from their market in the resort and the resort is so fun to just walk around!

Bring your snorkeling gear to this beach. There were tons of fish on each side of the beach. They also have fun rafts you can swim out to and lay out on/jump off etc. That was my favorite part!

Waipo’o Valley

One thing I would recommend everyone see is Waipo’o Valley. It is truly breathtaking and one of my absolute favorite things we did on the trip. You can either just go to the lookout point (still so beautiful!), hike down (it is STEEP! I woulld not recommend doing it with kids or elderly), or even drive down but a lot of rental car companies don’t let you so make sure you check your rental agreement with them. I think there are tour services that can drive you down in a van so maybe look into those if you don’t want to hike down!

Big Island Hawaii Olivia Beth

View from the lookout point. Breathtaking!

Big Island Hawaii Olivia Beth

Down at the beach, you can actually get in the water and swim, get in the river, and hike even more to a waterfall. It started raining pretty hard when we got down there so we didn’t go to the waterfall but that’s totally an option if you want to see it.

Big Island Hawaii Olivia Beth

The FOOD

Good food is a little bit harder to find on the big island but it’s not impossible. We found some great spots:

  • Umeke’s
  • Fish & The Hog
  • Canoehouse
  • A Bay’s
  • Racha Thai

You can also follow Grubs We Love to see more pictures of the food we found!

Big Island Hawaii Olivia Beth

All in all it was the BEST trip that I have zero regrets about taking. Happy 3-0, Will!

That’s all for now 🌺

The Thirsty Mom!

If it’s easier, you can shop the post here!

Clicking on any image above will take you directly to the retailers site to shop!

A couple of months ago, I decided to give sparkling water another (or a fourth?) try and ended up absolutely LOVING it?! I started trying different concoctions when I went on my daily Thirst run and one day, out of the blue, I decided to mix sparkling water, with mango puree, grapefruit, and fresh lemon together, and let’s just say, it was an absolute hit. I now go to get one pretty much every single day and wanted to share an at-home version for you out-of-Salt-Lake-City peeps!

If you ARE in Utah, you can just go to Thirst Drinks and order The Thirsty Mom! They made up the name and I love it so much 🤣

Here is what you will need.

  1. Okay, fine, pebble ice isn’t tooootally necessary but I love our pebble ice machine! I think it makes a difference but you do your thing with the ice.
  2. Sparking water – my sister Eliza LOVES her SodaStream if you want an easy way to make your sparking water at home!
  3. Fresh lemons – you could also try TruLemon if you want to!
  4. Grapefruit syrup
  5. Mango puree

As far as the ratio, for a 32 oz of sparkling water, use 3 pumps of the grapefruit syrup (about 2 tablespoons), 1 tablespoon of mango puree, and 1/3 of a fresh lemon or 2 wedges.

And the best part about making it from home? You can mix the ratios to your liking! Feel free to add more or less of whatever you want!

Hope you enjoy it.

My Utah Travel Guide!

Ah, it’s finally here! My travel guide to Utah!

If you know me, you know my love for Utah runs DEEP! I have lived in Utah my entire life and love it more and more as each year goes on. I constantly change my mind about my favorite season of the year and am so grateful to live in such a beautiful place. It really is the best!

Whether you are traveling here or live here already and want new places to try, this post is for you! I hope it is helpful to find some local restaurants/businesses that I love.

Let’s start with the airport…

Salt Lake City International Airport

Salt Lake City Airport: you will most likely fly into the SLC airport which is a sight in and of itself! It’s a brand new airport and so beautiful. If you have some time to spare before or after your flights, check out our restaurant guide in collaboration with Visit Utah HERE! The airport has great, local food options so be sure to check them out!

Next up, let’s discuss arguably the most important part of traveling…

Food:

First off, just follow my food Instagram account @utahgrubs and start ‘saving’ where you want to eat! You can also filter through our hashtags like #ParkCityGrubs, #StGeorgeGrubs, etc. Some randoms are using up the hashtag (😤) but you’ll have a good starting point there.

Here are some of my favorite restaurants! I also put together a giant master list of this guide on Google Maps below that shows even more places you should try! I wanted the map to be an easy way that you could look at visually, depending on where you are located, so you know where to hit up closest to you.

Here’s a little list of some of my favorites:

  • Thirst Drinks (duh!) Order the Thirsty Mom (if you like sparkling water) and grab some beignets!
  • Pretty Bird Chicken
  • Vessel Kitchen
  • Nielsen’s Frozen Custard
  • Beaumont Cafe – I am in love with their chopped salad + fries. And every pastry available!
  • Tulie bakery – cute area to walk around! Get the olive oil cake or the almond croissant.
  • Sweetaly Gelato – pistachio gelato always
  • Cubby’s – one of my favorite fast casual restaurants. Love the wild rice + kale salad and sweet potato fries with the chipotle dipping sauce.
  • Mr. Charlie’s Chicken – love this local restaurant! Similar to Raising Canes if you like that.
  • Rich’s Bagels – asiago bagel for life
  • Spilled Milk Bar
  • Banbury Cross Donuts
  • Sapa Sushi
  • Nomad East
  • Pizza Nono
  • Nona’s Bistro (AMAZING!)
  • Franklin (fun atmosphere)
  • HHC
  • Pizzeria Limone
  • The Dodo – get the dirty bird salad and the banana cream pie!!!! Don’t ask questions.
  • Bocata in the City Creek food court
  • Sweet Biscuits & Limeade
  • Pizzeria Tasso (in Holladay)
  • Roc Taco
  • Chubby Baker
  • Kitchen Eighty-Eight
  • Sobe Eats – get the mojito
  • The Protein Foundry
  • Lola’s on 9th & 9th
  • HSL
  • Ruby Snap Cookies

Oh man, I could go on and on when it comes to food but follow Utah Grubs, check out Yelp reviews, and eat local as much as you can while here. You won’t be disappointed!

Shopping:

  • City Creek Center Mall (it’s our big downtown mall with Nordstrom, etc.)
  • Fashion Place Mall is our other mall we go to often. They have a Zara, Urban Outfitters, Lululemon, etc.
  • Koo de Ker – Kyong’s shop is so beautiful! I love all of her dresses. Go grab a cookie at Chip Cookies or ice cream at Normal right after! They’re all right next to each other.
  • Foundation Goods – oh, just my dream store. I am manifesting that exact same kitchen in my home one day. Not joking.
  • Four and Twenty Sailors – such a darling shop with things for kids, women and amazing suits for men! Mention OLIVIA10 for a discount when you go.
  • Katie Waltman – beautiful new location in Salt Lake! Very close to Four and Tweny Sailors if you go there.
  • The Fox Shop/Market (Holladay)
  • Jolley’s Gift & Floral – fabulous Diet Coke stop too!
  • Amy Boutique (Holladay)
  • Establish Home (Millcreek)
  • Knot & Spool (Holladay)
  • Highland Gardens (Highland)
  • Sun River Gardens (Orem)
  • Walker Farms

Things to do:

Oh, there’s so much to do in Utah it’s hard to even know where to start! It definitely depends on what time of year you come to Utah, but try to explore up in the mountains as much as you can! Here are some more ideas of what you could do below:

  • Explore downtown SLC. See City Creek Center, go to the Visitors Center at Temple Square, ride scooters around just to see the city! This is random but go to Harmon’s for your groceries, it’s my favorite grocery store!
  • Go to Capitol Hill (especially end of March when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom!)
  • Walk around the wildflowers during end of July/early August up in Albion basin
  • Sugar House Park is a great park for kids
  • Utah’s Hogle Zoo
  • Discovery Gateway is also a fun museum for kids downtown SLC
  • Go to a Bee’s Baseball game, Utah Jazz basetball game, etc.
  • See a show that is playing at Eccles Theater
  • See Ballet West performance of The Nutcracker if visiting in December 🩰 I was in it every year growing up!
    • If you’re heading more down South:
  • Tibble Fork Reservoir
  • Go to Thanksgiving Point if you have kids and need things to do. Great museums, butterfly bisophere etc. (in Lehi)

Hotels:

  • The Snowpine Lodge – up Little Cottonwood Canyon and just INCREDIBLE! Please go to Stillwell Spa too
  • The Pendry Park City
  • The Grand America is a favorite of so many. Beautiful rooms and I love their pools (both outdoor and indoor)
  • We also LOVE The Little America! It’s the sister hotel to The Grand and is just as beautiful! Just cheaper.
  • Sundance Resort – located up Provo canyon and UNREAL beautiful! You can even hike Timpanogos from here if you’re up for a long, beautiful hike.

Hikes:

Oh my goodness. Hiking in Utah is my FAVORITE. Every season (besides winter when it’s like 10 degrees🤪) is so incredible. Just wake up a little earlier if you go in summer for the heat. I would highly suggest familiarizing yourself with the AllTrails app if you love hiking. I think you can even follow me on there if you want to see what hikes I’ve done. I love reading reviews and seeing what people say about the trails and parking and whatnot to help get a feel of what I’m getting myself into.

Here are a couple of my favorites:

  • Millcreek Canyon – this canyon is the closest to my house and an absolute favorite!
    • Pipeline Trail is the one I try to do every other week in summer. It’s a flat trail that runs with the mountain and is a blast.
    • Grandeur Peak is a favorite! Gorgeous view from the top.
    • Salt Lake Overlook via Desolation Trail
  • Lake Blanche – a hard one but SO beautiful in the fall. The lake is breathtaking at the top.
  • Bonneville Shoreline Trail – this trail runs for a long time but my favorite portion of the trail is the Z trail in the cove.
  • Living Room lookout trail
  • Lake Mary (to Lake Catherine) via Brighton or Alta
  • Donut Falls (easy for kids)
  • Mount Timpanogos – I sugggest starting this hike around 2-3 AM. Worth it for the sunrise at the top!
  • Silver Lake
  • Bell Canyon Trail (this one gets harder towards the top but the waterfall is amazing!)
  • Bloods Lake

Park City, UT

I am sure there are people with way more robust guides to Park City than this one. But I just wanted to add a couple of favorites here!

  • Walk around Main Street and shop!
  • FiveSeeds – the BEST breakfast
  • Nosh – get the fawaffle (falafel waffle)
  • Handle
  • Cafe Terigo
  • Versante – also an amazing hotel here to stay at! We LOVE Stephanie the owner.

Midway/Heber

We love going up to Midway/Heber every fall on conference weekends. Here are our favorite spots to hit up!

  • BelJar Home – cute home boutique
  • Lola’s Street Kitchen
  • Midway Mercantile – make a reservation
  • Judy’s Donuts
  • Dottie’s Kolaches – they have Thirst Drinks and Ruby Snap cookies here!
  • Red Mango (inside a grocery store and some of my favorite frozen yogurt!)
  • Go swim in the crater
  • Stay at Homestead Resort

St. George/Zion:

My parents own a vacation home down in St. George so we make it down there quite often. The hiking and views are incredible but unfortunately, the food scene struggles a bit there. I’ve talked to several restaurant owners that are hoping to change that soon (🤞🏼) but here is a list of where we always go when we’re down there! I’m not saying these places are bad, I’m just saying St. George is definitely not a foodies mecca.

  • Drive into Snow Canyon for SURE. It’s so beautiful!
  • Veyo Pies up in Snow Canyon
  • Zion National Park – love Angel’s Landing (be careful!)
  • Love Orange Peel always! I put my order up above
  • Viva Chicken
  • Angelica’s
  • Nielsen’s Frozen Custard
  • Swig
  • Mad Pita

And do you want to know the worst part of this entire guide? I don’t have anything on Moab! 🙈 I am hoping to go this fall on a huge foodie tour and will keep you posted on the entire thing!

Here is the list I put together on list on Google Maps that might help you visually see the places closest to you that I love. I’ll add more as I go, too!

That’s all for now. Love you all and I really hope this helps!

A Rainy Day with Vuori Clothing

Vuori Clothing

I have LOVED Vuori Clothing ever since I was first introduced to the brand a little over a year ago by some good friends of ours. They are based out of Encinitas, California and I have loved so many of the things I have tried from them and also love learning more about their brand when it comes to sustainability and ethical manufacturing too. They really are SUCH a neat company that I love supporting and wearing.

I promise, once you try them, you will be hooked. Here are some of my favorite things from them right now!

The Sunnyside Crew and Sunnyside Shorts are PERFECT for lounging, boating, going to the beach, or pretty much just being alive in 😂 The material is so comfortable and I love that you can mix and match them however you want!

I have loved wearing the Halo performance crop while I teach pilates (size down! I am in a size small and will order an XS from here on out!) and the Rib studio shorts. They both come in more colors too!

When I was in California in June, I actually went into the Vuori store and bought this Mudra fitted tee and can’t get enough off it. It’s the cutest crop tee that I love wearing while I go hiking! It is paired here with the rib studio shorts.

The first thing I ever tried from Vuori were these performance joggers and I swear to you, once you buy one pair, you’ll never go back. I own 3 pairs! 🙈Go check out the other colors too. They are paired here with the Sunnyside crew!

And that’s a wrap! I really hope you find something you love!

Love you guys.

My Top Picks from Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Clicking on any image above will take you directly to the retailers site to shop!

Oh man, the Nordstrom anniversary sale! So intimidating, overwhelming, and sometimes by the time it’s “public access” everything is gone. I get it! Hence why I hardly ever post about it. HOWEVER, I went through everything they had this morning and here are the things I LOVE and would (and for some, will) buy!

  1. Fuzzy slipper – these slippers are top rated and still in stock! I am pretty much ALWAYS in slippers when I’m at home.
  2. Ribbed top – love this rib knit top that comes in 3 different colors!
  3. Beauty Bio R45 – I posted about this on my Stories this morning but this is AMAZING if you’re trying to get into retinol but feel intimidated by it!
  4. Initial necklace – looooove this trend of these necklaces. I think they’re so cute!
  5. Ray Bans – some of my favorite looking Ray Bans for SURE.
  6. Yellow shacket – give me allllll the shackets this fall! Love this courdoroy one.
  7. Barefoot dreams blanketIt looks like the floral one is sold out, but THIS ONE isn’t! These blankets are AMAZING!
  8. Black boots (lookalike to my Sam Edelman ones from last year for a fraction of the price!)
  9. Quilted hooded jacket – another perfect jacket for fall.
  10. Tru & Co bra – everyone RAVES about these bras and I can’t wait to try it! There are so many diferent ones a part of the sale!
  11. Leather Nike’s – these Nikes are PEREFECTION. Wait, I am getting soo excited for fall now!
  12. Stilla eyeliner – this eyeliner was recommmended to me by Marisa and I love it!
  13. Denim jacket w/ faux sherling collar – I have the Levi’s version of this jacket and love it.
  14. Mac lip gloss kit – I sorted by ‘top rated’ for fun and this was at the tippy top. How fun for a gift too!
  15. Hunter boots – everyone needs a good pair of Hunter’s for a rainy day!
  16. Grey sweater – this is what I am 100% buying! Perfefction with some jeans and boots this fafll.
  17. Blue wool coat – I looked for a coat identical to this all last winter! This one is so so good.
  18. North Face crewneck – a darling crewneck (comes in another blue color too!)

And that’s it! Good luck. I find my best luck when I really filter by my size AND by the brands I love and usually like to shop from!

Happy shopping.

My 3rd Collection w/ Clad & Cloth!

I am soooo excited about my third clothing collection with Clad & Cloth! This collection launched on Friday and I am IN LOVE WITH IT! I am so grateful for this opportunity to be able to do this with them and am so grateful for all of your support with it! Here are the pieces in this collection…

(if you see anything sold out that you were wanting, sign up for restock notifications!)

One of the most exciting things about this collection is the launch of Clad & Cloth KIDS!!! We have two matching shirts that you can match your mini with. The first one is this BE KIND shirt that I love and means a lot to me. As you can see (from my blog slogan and all!), being kind is something I’ve tried to work on my entire life. The world needs so much more of it so I love that we were able to create this shirt to act as a reminder for it!

And the second shirt is this TOKYO 2021 shirt! Isn’t that the cutest thing ever? And they are matching!

In each collection, I have been able to name some pieces after people in my life that are near and dear to my heart, and this dress is named after my grandma Claudia! Isn’t it so gorgeous? It will hopefully be restocking soon!

I loved adding some shirts to this collection and this Bloom Blouse in Lavender is definitely a favorite. Look at those sleeves!

The Mary Dress! I do not wear red too often but I LOVE the red in this dress! It fits like a dream too ❤️

This P!NK Pullover is the softest thing EVER! I’m serious! It’s the cutest crop and I just need it to cool down so I can wear it every day always.

The Lucy Dress! This dress is sold out (for good reason!) and I just love it so much. Sign up for restock notifications if you want it!

These 501 Crop Jeans are amazing. They originally just brought them to style some of the tops with and I fell in love with them the second I put them on. I am wearing a size 26!

The Grace Dress! Another sold out beauty but keep your eye out for a restock!

The Jeniveve dress is named after my wonderful mother-in-law and is the most beautiful white dress that is perfect to wear to any event this summer!

This dress is named after my other grandma, Joyce! She is the classiest lady alive and I love her personality and spunk. I am going to go drop off this dress to her this week at her rest home and can’t wait!

The Tora Tee is the cutest graphic tee that comes in two different colors! Pair it with those Levi’s 😍

The Bloom Blouse in Ivory is just the perfect shirt to wear all year round. You could pair it with pretty much ANY bottom!

Is this skirt not so Madewell vibes? It’s called the Beautiful Moments Skirt and pairs well with sooo many different tops.

The Georgia Peach dress! 🍑 perfect for any of you Southern gals 😜

Levi’s 501 Skinny Jean are the other Levi’s I fell in love with while shooting with Clad! They are the perfect wash and crop in my opinion.

The Abigail Dress fits like a dream and has my favorite colors in it! I love the ruffle detailing on the sleeve and on the waist.

The Let’s Stay Together Dress is cutest blue/white dress with a ruffle collar.

Kirby Top is my favorite crop tee of the season!

Can you even deal with this Ziggy Plaid Top x Ziggy Plaid Pants?! This will be my fall uniform!
