☀️ TODAY’S WEATHER
100°F | Thursday, Sunny & Hot
Precipitation: 0% | Humidity: 17–19% | Wind: 5–6 mph
The latest NWS forecast still has Bountiful reaching about 100°F today, with the Heat Advisory beginning at noon.
🥵 Heat Advisory Begins Today
It’s going to be a hot one. The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for the Bountiful area beginning at noon today and continuing through 7 AM Saturday. Temperatures are expected to reach around 100°F today and again Friday, so keep the water bottles handy and take a little extra care during the hottest part of the day.
💛 It’s also a good time to check on older neighbors, keep pets out of the heat, and remember that temperatures inside a parked car can become dangerous very quickly. 👉 Check the Latest Forecast

🚸 Schools Are Back—Slow Down
School is back in session, and police are reminding drivers to slow down and stay alert in school zones. Watch for students walking, biking, and crossing streets, obey reduced speed limits, and follow crossing guards.
More students will be on and near local roads, so a little extra caution can help keep our kids safe.
📚 Utah Book Award Finalists Coming to Farmington

Why Am I So Tired After a Massage?
Ever leave a massage feeling like you could go home and take the best nap of your life? That's pretty normal!
During a relaxing massage, your body gets a chance to slow down. Your breathing may deepen, muscles begin to soften, and your nervous system can shift away from that constant "go, go, go" mode into a more relaxed state.
Sometimes you don't realize just how tired you've been until your body finally gets permission to relax!
If you feel sleepy afterward, listen to your body. Drink some water, take it easy if you can, and enjoy that relaxed feeling rather than immediately filling your schedule again.
✨ Feeling like your body could use a reset? Alicia, Kristi, and I are here to help. Schedule your next massage and give yourself permission to slow down for a while.
