Aviva Woman is the first and only “Sanctuary for Intimate Wellness.” Our goal is to empower women to take charge of their mental, emotional and physical intimate wellness needs and we are here to provide a comfortable, spa-like experience to help you heal from the inside out.
Our Aviva Woman team is made up of women, mothers and cancer survivors alike. We have all experienced similar issues to those that we are treating, and found great relief, which drives our passion to help you. We are women who have personal experiences with intimate issues which gives us the unique insight on how best to treat our fellow women. We understand that with experience, age and the blessing of childbirth comes many undesirable side effects and life gets in the way of being able to focus on you.
Women need a place to connect, share and heal all the issues we face on a daily basis – Aviva Woman is here for you.

Now is the time to sign up for swimming lessons in Utah County!
If you are looking for swimming lessons for your kids this summer, you need to look into SwimKids. Their method of teaching children to swim is unique and is allowing them to teach babies as young as 3 months old. There is a 98% retention rate so your children will be unlikely to forget what they have learned (much like riding a bike).
Liz, the owner, began training in an extreme type of swim training but thought it was too harsh and created her own technique that has been successful for over 30 years. Each private lesson is a short 15 minutes. It is short but it is perfectly suited for children’s attention and physical ability. Many have been skeptical of the short lessons but have found them to be very successful in teaching their children how to swim.
There are 8 levels depending on your children’s abilities. There are many instructors at many locations to make it easier for you to schedule your children at a convenient time for you.
When you register, you can register per lesson or per month.
SwimKids also hosts other events including an upcoming summer camp and a little triathlon for the kids.
SwimKids is looking to expand and for more pools, especially in the Provo area. The biggest requirement for home owner pools is that it needs to be heated. They will rent the pool from you each month during the summer which is an easy way to make a little extra cash for your pool and allow them to pay for all of the chemicals to keep your pool clean! Right now, they are specifically looking for pools in Provo area, Riverton, Herriman, Daybreak, South Jordan, Bluffdale, and Draper. If you know of any or would like to submit your pool for consideration, please send us an email to [email protected].
Currently, they have indoor pools at Holladay and Provo. Outdoor pools include Midvale, Sandy/Draper, Herriman, and Lehi.
SwimKids Promo Code
Use the code “skuvmoms25” to receive a free pair of the best kids swim goggles! You can get a free pair of goggles when you sign up for any lessons so make sure you add in the code!
If you’re thinking at all about signing up for swim lessons, now is the time before their schedules fill up! Sign up before May 7, 2017 and get $25 off your registration with the code “skuvmoms25“!
The first 10 people to submit their registration request with “skuvmoms25” for recurring swim lesson will get $25 off their second month of lessons.

While some of my friends have been to a Supercross before, I had never been and had no idea what to expect.
The Monster Energy Supercross came to Salt Lake City, Utah last weekend at Rice-Eccles Stadium. It was a one-day event.
To start it all off, I had never been to this stadium before that I can recall and so instead of following our trusty Google Maps, we followed the signs for parking which suddenly stopped so we decided to park in a parking lot. As we walked towards the stadium, we realized that there were hundreds of closer parking spots but didn’t want to go back for our car so we walked about a mile to the stadium and was totally late for the event. We chatted with our friends and they had done the same thing. So funny.
Once it all started, it was so fun to watch all of the motorcyclists race each other on the track. There were a few accidents and close calls with a lot of upsets. The exciting ones were at the end when they were racing for 15 and 20 minutes but unfortunately for our family, it got a little late (we left around 10:45 pm) so we missed the last couple of races.
When we go again, we’ll be sure to make sure we have warm clothes (it turned into a chilly night), blankets, and a little extra money for some food to keep us occupied between races.
A local Provo yoga instructor teaches beginner and intermediate vinyasa yoga classes to help build strength and flexibility while binding your mind, body, and spirit. The classes are 60 minutes and begin with breath work and end with guided meditation. She teaches every Monday night at 7:30 pm.
Enter to win a free private lesson ($65 value) or 3 free classes! To enter to win, follow Utah Valley Moms on Instagram and enter on the giveaway post.
This giveaway will end on Thursday, April 27, 2017 and one random winner will be chosen. Entrants must be able to attend yoga classes in Utah County. No purchase necessary. This giveaway is not endorsed or sponsored by Instagram.
If you haven’t been to Sub Zero Ice Cream, you’re missing out on a unique experience to watch your ice cream be made fresh right in front of you.
Sub Zero started in 2005 with one location in Orem, Utah. It was connected to their Mexican Food Restaurant and was more of the add on to the restaurant. Well, turns out, the ice cream became quite popular to open new Utah locations and after appearing on Shark Tank, the business started really expanding to outside of Utah.
The unique thing about Sub Zero is that they have made getting ice cream an experience. You walk in, order from a menu, and watch it be made fresh in front of you.
First you choose the cream. The choices include lactose free, vegan, sugar free, low-fat, and cream. Next you choose your flavor. You can choose a combination of flavors to get a unique flavor or just choose one. After that, you have the option to add mix-ins. Mix-ins include fruit, candy, nuts, and baked goods. Then they add in Nitrogen into your cream, flavor, and mix-ins to create your ice cream.
Smoothies, drinks, Italian ice, and other options may be available at your local Sub Zero.
Italian Ice
I personally have always loved Sub Zero. It has been a couple of years since I’ve been but we used to be regulars when we lived closer to the Provo location that was in Brigham’s Landing near BYU. I have always loved being able to choose my own cream. When you order, you don’t have to look at a special menu or choose from one of the few options they have available for unique dietary restrictions; you get to order like everyone else.
The flavors are always spot on. I always enjoy my fruit flavors but others that I have tried were always good. We used to be a fan of Mt. Dew flavor with gummy bear mix-ins. I have no idea why it tasted so good but it was a favorite. I usually enjoy a black raspberry with Oreo or brownie mix-ins. It’s the fruity/chocolate flavor that I’m looking for.
You can also choose to make the ice cream harder which seems to be how it was originally back so many years ago. They add more Nitrogen instead of a slightly softer ice cream. I actually really enjoy it both ways.
Sub Zero also offers a Soda Lab where you can choose flavors and mix them to create your own unique sodas.
The Provo Center Street location (62 W. Center Street) is a fun place to hang out. They have an upstairs with a gorgeous view of downtown Provo. They also have some great walls for those of us who love to take photos of ourselves, family, friends, and food while enjoying ice cream. It fits in with the theme of Downtown Provo so when you’re in the area, make sure you stop by.
Here in Utah County, we have a few Sub Zero locations including Provo Center Street, Provo Towne Center Mall, Spanish Fork, and Alpine.

Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, will bring the world’s premier off-road motorcycle championship series back to Utah on Saturday, April 22, 2017 at Rice-Eccles Stadium through a long-standing partnership with the Utah Sports Commission.

The long awaited Utah return of the Monster Energy Supercross Championship series since 2013 will mark the 15th round of the 2017 race season and will also serve as the penultimate round of the Western Regional 250SX Class Championship; once this race is concluded, the final Western Regional Championship will be decided in Las Vegas the following week at the Monster Energy Supercross World Finals. Supercross fans in Salt Lake City have witnessed some of the most memorable races in history over the years, including a snow storm in 2010 and Supercross Champion Ryan Villopoto clinching his third title back in 2013.
Monster Energy Supercross is part aerial excitement and part high-speed chase, with riders launching 225-pound motorcycles upwards of 30 feet in the air at heart-pounding speeds. Competitors toe the line of control and chaos, with All-American superstar Dungey destined to continue his gripping rivalry with German sensation Ken Roczen, while hotshot Eli Tomac looms just behind them in his continued ascension to the top. In this winner-take-all environment, only one rider will be rewarded for pushing his body and his bike to the absolute limit, basking in the glory of a championship.
At the pre-race Monster Energy Pit Party fans are fully immersed into the world of Monster Energy Supercross, given unprecedented access to the athletes, teams, and supporting sponsors. Annually, more than 350,000 attendees converge at this all-day festival-like, behind-the-scenes complement to the on-track excitement, with exclusive opportunities to meet the riders, see the bikes up close, hang with the Monster Energy Girls, and more. Entry to the Pit Party costs just $10 at the gate – guests can obtain FREE access by recycling an empty can of Monster Energy Drink (valid race event ticket required for entry).

If you are looking to get away over Spring Break to a close destination outside of Utah, consider the following:
Disneyland
San Diego
Universal Studios
Legoland
San Francisco
Las Vegas
We get our tickets through Get Away Today. Use the discount “UTValleyMoms” to get an extra $10 off your already discounted package. Get Away Today includes vacation packages for hotel + tickets or you can buy them separately. They also offer car rentals and flights. If you are looking for a cruise, they also offer great prices on those as well.
As Spring Break is not always warm, we usually like to head south for Spring Break. Going to Las Vegas or traveling through to California is usually high on our list.
With all of the controversy surrounding Sea World, they are offering 7 days for the price of 1 day admission. We have also enjoyed going to Knott’s Berry Farm for a cheaper price than Disneyland, especially while buying here.

This week the Utah Valley Moms blog is featuring things to do over Spring Break in Utah with kids. Today’s feature is Ballet West.
From March 30 through April 2, 2017, you will have the opportunity to see The Little Mermaid, an enchanted ballet perfect for the whole family. Although this is not quite over Spring Break here in Utah County, it would be a great way to kick off the break.
Join Ballet West II dancers and students from the Ballet West Academy for a family adventure under the sea. Take a trip into Hans Christian Andersen’s watery world, complete with a brave mermaid, a prince in search of true love, and a devious sea witch.
The Salt Lake City Toyota Dealership Association is a main sponsor of Ballet West.
Over the past year or so, we have been looking for a good car for our family. We have been looking at Toyota Highlanders specifically. This week, Mark Miller Toyota has kindly offered to let us drive a brand new Toyota Highlander.
Things I love about the Highlander:
Space. The first 2 rows have ample space for leg room and with the 3rd row lying down, there’s plenty of space in the back of the car. If we need more seats, the 3rd row allows for 8 passengers total. We recently made a huge Costco trip, bringing bags of mulch home and some groceries. We had 1 seat lying down in the 3rd row to fit the bags of mulch and everything and everyone fit nicely.
Smooth. The car drives so smoothly. It has great suspension and the entire ride is so comfortable.
Dashboard and controls on the steering wheel. There really isn’t anything else I need from a car when it comes to technology. Maps, audio, Bluetooth for music and calling, and all sort of unnecessary capabilities that I’m realizing are completely necessary.
Other things: keyless entry and a push start for the engine, heated seats, sunroof, and amazing turn radius.
Follow Utah Valley Moms on Instagram to see how we’re using our Toyota Highlander this week for family time and preparing for Spring Break!
