What’s Up Provo! Happy National Hamburger Day!

We’ve gathered all the burger-related deals and discounts as well the best events happening around Provo, Orem, and beyond. Let’s get into it!

In Partnership with
Vital Alignment

Pain isn’t random — it’s your body sending you a message. 

Unfortunately, it's often a complicated message. Also, it hurts.

At Vital Alignment they trace pain to its roots and they address it with a holistic approach -- because it's often more than one thing causing the problem. It's misalignment + muscle imbalances + posture problems + stress, and it takes therapy that addresses multiple root causes in order to fix it.

Founded by Sarah Richardson, (who had her own journey with pain after breaking her back as a competitive gymnast), VitalAlignment uses NeuroSomatic Therapy and advanced bodywork to restore balance where your body needs it most.

🌽 Orem's Farmers Market & Feed Fest
We learned recently that Farmers Markets can reduce food waste by up to 20%! Apparently, it’s because less food is thrown away compared to when it has to be sold at a grocery store, and it also reduces waste lost during transportation and storage as well…
