Hi friends! I'm in Salt Lake City this week, and it's making me remember why I loved living here. It's beautiful, the mountains are unreal, and somehow the city still feels like a mix between an outdoorsy paradise and the set of a country music video.

So naturally, I have to tell y'all about our Kacey Musgraves giveaway. We're giving away a pair of tickets to her Toyota Center show on October 5, and if anyone knows how to soundtrack a little cowboy fantasy, it's Kacey. Enter to win now and bring your cowgirl boots!
