Celebrated 30 in possibly the best way that could have been conceived last week 🕺 @rmdexter planned a night I’ll remember forever, surrounded by as many of my favorite people dressed up in Boogie Nights attire that could fit into the back bar at @barxslc .

Still blown away by Rachel’s artistic talent to replicate that banner, create a custom cocktail menu, coasters, and make everyone choose a 70s porn name for themselves 😭 Truly felt the love

And to top it all off, @brandohosty must have spent thousands of dollars on Polaroids capturing it all that I’ll also be able to cherish until I can no longer see.

4th decade is off to quite a start

Salt Lake’s ecosystem depends on something most of us walk right past every day. 🌿🐝 SLC Comb is a short documentary exploring the bees that keep our world alive and why we can’t keep taking them for granted.

This wonderful short documentary was directed by @hydrignis and is finally available to watch now on our YouTube channel! Link in bio.

Sometimes you get an idea that just begs to be created. And sometimes it even turns out pretty.

10/10 would recommend grabbing your best friends and @sheiakeiphoto and making them all freeze their toes off to make your fall floral dreams come true.

@qualtrics knows how to throw an epic party! #x4 was this week, and I was able to go to the concert by @thekillers on Thursday night with some Sales Enablement friends.
I had some temporary hearing loss afterward, but it was worth it. They put on a great show and more importantly, I was reminded how lucky I am to work for a company I love whose products and services are literally making the world a better place.

Thank you @qualtrics / @qualtricslife ! #thekillers #xm #qualtrics #qualtricsx4 #qualtricslife #experiencemanagement
