What’s Up Provo!

This Wellness Wednesday, treat yourself to some crackers. That’s right everyone it’s Crackers Over the Keyboard Day! 🍘⌨️
(btw, we don’t make these up)

The way you are supposed to celebrate this holiday is to “eat crackers without worrying right over your keyboard while working”. If you worry about it, it doesn’t count.

Let’s get into the events of the day. Here are the top events (according to us):

⚽️ BYU Women’s Soccer vs. UCLA
🎨 Teen Art Club
💰️ Advanced Tax Strategies for Founders

Ono’s Malasadas

OUR STORY

While on their annual vacation to the Hawaiian Islands, Sophia Bussio and her family discovered Malasadas, a Portuguese fried sweet dough, a food staple in Hawaii. Sophia and her family saw the opportunity to bring the malasada magic to Provo. Excited to embrace the opportunity, the Bussios dove headfirst into the world of fried dough, later naming their new company “Ono’s Malasadas.”

OUR NAME

The name, a fusion of Hawaiian and Portuguese, encapsulates what a malasada truly is. “Ono” in Hawaiian means “delicious,” while in Portuguese, “Malasadas” translates to “bad dough” — a contradiction that perfectly describes the treat.

Today

⚽️ BYU Women’s Soccer vs. UCLA

Los Angeles @ 8pm MDT

⛰️🦁 vs. 🐻 UCLA wants some revenge for last year’s loss to the cougars. They have not been scored on yet this year (only 4 games for them so far, but still impressive). Let’s hope the streak ends tonight!

Wellness Wednesday ❤️‍🩹

Daily reflections are sent out to Grateful Living’s thousands of followers. Below is one of the most popular prompts from June.

When have I felt a sense that I was exactly where I needed to be?

“This weekend I am right where I need to be and want to be. One of my great nephews… is graduating from the University of South Carolina. I was there the day he was born and have been to many of the important events in his life. To be here this weekend with my family members is such a gift.“
-Nannette

Words To Remember

“Whether you're setting out to rediscover yourself, find your passion, build a business, create a fulfilling relationship and everything in between, this is a journey. It takes time, patience, trial and error, exploration and experimentation. You will hit blocks. You will trip up. Other things will come up. That's life, it's inevitable. You’re where you are for a reason.”

Stephenie Zamora

Have a swell Wednesday.
