I am grateful for your interest in Utah. It has been a grand experience for me, being that I moved here over 5years ago. I had no idea that I would choose to stay, long-term.

As I mentioned in the video, Cedar City measured to be at 5,846 ft. above sea level. Las Vegas is just over 2k ft. above sea level and I lived there for over ten years.

Both are desert climate, Cedar is high-desert while Vegas is lower desert. At any rate, it can get over 90+ degrees for several days in both locations. Obviously, Las Vegas will stay hot well over three digits for the entire summer season, while Cedar may only get to three digits for a few days mid-summer season.

I compare these two locations because I lived in these climates for multiple seasons, and I really enjoy these natural ecosystems.

I am working on a video project to promote my gardening perspective and skills for people seeking to hire me as their GuarDinner to transform their barren yard to one that is thriving, full of organic life and joyful food for their family.

I started with this gardening ‘bug’, in Las Vegas, which was actually my calling to share the wealth of wellness via gardening to nurture the plant-kingdom, and traveling as well.

Not many people can say and show proof of transforming a desert landscape to a thriving mini-food forest in the back yard. With successful desert-gardening projects under my belt, I am prepared to share this skill and thus be a catalyst to get the sland moving…

I want to add, this greenhouse is still standing however, not used my me any more. I have upgraded to seeking my own land and building a more sustainable design for long-term year round usage. No plastic bubble wrap needed. This was my first time to do gardening in a winter with over 7-mths of below frost temps. Yes, the greenhouse was heated for that time period as well, with a wood stove or electric space heater. You can find similar items by clicking links!

To be frank, I would like some support! The issue with these past desert-garden projects is none of them where on my own property. So, I have yet to see long-term growth results over three-years. There was only one case which I had unlimited access to, and that was the ‘Our GuarDin Space’.

Ultimately, with my own land there is more to do in this area than meets the eye. I would have time to go hiking up in the mountains while the garden grows, plus helping other people transition their garden space would minimize the amount of loose sand and dust in the region.

By the way, many festivals happen in Utah such as the Sundance Film Festival in multiple places in Park City. There is a Hot Air Balloon event but I don’t recall when that happens. I just remember seeing a lot of balloons fly over the garden one glorious shining day.

Also, Strawberry Days, Moab Folk Festival, Shakespeare Festival, St. George Art Festival, Bryce Canyon Winter Festival, and the Sheep… herding down Main Street. Coming up real soon, Saturday, October 25th, 2025, in Cedar City.

(Not affiliated with these festival sites, but you can tell them LaNeedA Travel sent ya!)

Well the point of this article was to give more info about why I live in Utah!

The gardening skills would have been a given no matter where I lived…

Looking forward to sharing more LaNeedA Travel updates as we get ready for the winter season. Holiday travel is best booked now, well before people start decorating. Next up is the Hollow’s Eve or Samhain, or Halloween!

Depending on your preference and potential spiritual beliefs.

Awesome! Start your free travel quote here!

I’ll be chatting with you soon.

If you have had time to read or watch some of my blog posts and articles. You will know that I am an advocate of a plant-based lifestyle. Basically, I eat more vegetables and leafy greens than any other food item. Rarely I will eat wild salmon/ sardines or poultry but, I can be totally vegetarian or even vegan if I need to be.

On my recent travels to Coachella…

I stopped at a restaurant to eat on my way back to Nashville. Initially I had a coupon to get a discount however, they politely told me upon being seated that this was a false contract. The server proceeded to explain that someone had falsely added them at a sister address but he mentioned they do not accept any coupons.

I politely accepted and continued my order. I had a taste for what I was seeking and I planned to eat there coupon or not!

This is the Green tea that I drink. Got it from a shop in Clarksville, TN. Image from Amazon click link

Not near Clarksville, Tennessee?

You can order it from Amazon with my affiliate link above/below.

So, Where Did I Eat This Vegetarian Meal While Traveling!

I eat a whole lot of Indian cuisine and other Asian style foods. So, I went to Gopuram in Oklahoma City, which is just a short distance off the I-40. This location is on South Meridian Avenue, in fact you can see it from the interstate as you pass by. That’s how close it is and, that means you can get back on the road sooner!

Most Indian restaurants have a vegetarian menu that is separate from the non-vegetarian menu items. They are listed on different pages and it is very clear what these items are. So, no need to be worried about asking the server a bunch of questions about the ingredients. By the way, we can just search anything online so that is a thing of the past. I do it all the time before I even visit the restaurant. And that is how I know which restaurants have a good selection of vegetarian dishes plus good quality ingredients.

On to what I ordered…

Samosas (above), Paneer Saag with rice and a butter naan / cilantro naan, oh and a green tea to aid digestion.

In this video, I give some details about the menu items I ate while in travel.

UPDATE: I really like paneer so much that I had no idea how it was made so, I did some research before I posted this article. Boy was I ignorant on this topic… Paneer is a fresh Indian cheese, that is made from curdled milk (no rennet) which is why its lovely texture is a bit firm like ricotta. Unlike other cheeses Paneer has three distinct characteristics. One is it does not melt. The second is it’s a soft cheese, and the third is it’s an unaged cheese which is also unsalted. Making it totally unique to all other cheeses. In Indian cooking, paneer is intended to be eaten with herb-infused sauces and spicy curries. Go figure, I knew there was a reason why I love this Saag Paneer dish.

Yummy meal!

I have to mention that I dine out at Indian restaurants often. Considering I am plant-based, I tend to search specifically for vegetarian dishes. This particular dish rated high compared to two other locations where I order the Saag Paneer. The plus at this restaurant is they added fresh herbs to the Jasmine rice where as at the other locations, they only serve plain basmati rice with the entrée.

Also, I really enjoyed the Chili/Cilantro Naan Bread. With a hint of fresh leaves added on top of the naan bread, this gave a delicious flavorful bite of soft fluffy naan. The Butter Naan was just as tasty and full of buttery flavor. I ordered both because I had never seen a cilantro naan and I am very glad I ordered two since I nearly ate a whole serving with the meal.

Just to note, I was ordering for dinner too. Although I usually order this much food for my self, because I can, and it’s very efficient when I have to focus on the road…

Anyway, I plan to stop at Gopuram the next cross-country travel via the I-40. That is how good the food is/was! I am making plans already.

Final plant-based reference is that yes, you can find vegetarian meals and restaurants that cater to our plant needs while in transit. My tip is to seek cuisine that are culturally vegetarian or devoid of animal juices, and you shall find exactly what you are looking for!

Safe travels and happy plant eats!

This Could Be The Reason You’re Having Digestive Is-You’s

Coming really soon to the Red Rock Amphitheater in Colorado!

Just in case you are still planning to go, tickets are still available, click here.

I have to say I found out about this only last year and I was like…

Wish I had known about it sooner.

Apparently this has been going on for several years now.

WHAT? In Colorado. Yes, that is what I said.

When I lived in Las Vegas, my roommate and his friends went to Red Rock amp. for a rave type music festival. I had to work unfortunately, and I wasn’t invited… I was a girl.

It was a guys trip! Whatever.

Despite that situation, I have yet to make it out to this beautifully scenic amphitheater scalped into the red rocks. Perhaps early spring in 2026. I can plan on having my Spring-Break vacation there.

Bet! Anyone wants to come with me, I can bundle your travels with my agent creds. and get us all a healthy itinerary.

A few travel tips for you if you are going to Yoga on the Rocks!

• Make sure you keep an eye out for snakes and scorpions.

• Also, have plenty of hydrating water available.

• Use unrefined coconut oil for a natural sunscreen. ( I use Dr. Bronner’s )

• If you need to, you can eat some coconut oil for nourishment.

• Be sure to have a sturdy backpack that can handle the rocks.

P.S. If you need a serious backpack, I recommend Osprey brand. I got one in 2020 and it is still like new. I travel with it hiking and to the gym. It fits my laptop and travel audio equipment for when I edit my videos in the hotel room. Plus, this brand is supportive of the environment.

Oh, just in case you are wondering. The Herbal Travel Kit is still available for any of my VIP clients the make a booking for a minimum of 3-days or $500. I have to have some kind of commitment from you. This is no ordinary travel kit.

Checkout the post I made to get the full details. Herbal Travel Kit details here!

Anyway, back to the red rocks.

I actually drove though Denver in late 2021 before my mom passed away. That was the first time I had driven over the Rockies and cross-country on I-70. It was a beautiful travel till I got to about Missouri.

No comment.

No wonder people from there call is ‘misery’. I didn’t stop to find out nor did I have time. My return was a day from the first snow storm for the Rockies. The following evening after I made it back to Cedar City, Utah, the Rockies got slammed with the entry of the winter season.

Need I say more.

Hopefully if you make it to Yoga on the Rocks this weekend, send me a pic and I will feature it in a follow up article about the festivities. Much appreciation!

The short video above says it all however, I did not add captions or audio to it. I felt it was better with the calming music than with the actual AI audio, which is in the next video below.

Same video, I just added an AI voiceover since I was trying out new features in my Canva account. I tend to make most, if not all of my graphic designs in Canva. I will record the audio in Pro Tools or with a lav mic receiver set-up on the iPad.

Now, the video editing, I use a plethora of software because some export faster or the work better with my OS, or I am on a specific device and only have access to certain applications.

I would love to use Lightworks but, that level of editing is only capable on my desktop at the moment. The laptop is older and runs slower with less RAM, etc. Not the best to do video editing on.

As for my overall progress with this starting over phase I mentioned earlier this year. I have finally started to start over.

There was a long pause for self reflection and more healing on top of making a choice of what to do next. The real question is, Where do I see myself in ten years?

Share Herbin Bread GuarDinner Domane

So, with that, I needed to do some traveling. Visit some family, friends and seek out mentors. What I learned was, I la need to make my own choices even with all of these other people involved and engaging with me, and you!

Here is the summary!

LaNeedA Travel video introducing the free Herbal Travel Kit. Exclusively for all of my travel clients when they book more than 3-days or spend over $500 in one travel booking event. Not really extreme…

The second video is for better comprehension for anyone not able to read or if they prefer audio over video, like a podcaster. I am also promoting my video creation and editing skills along with graphic design.

Will have to add that to my resume…

Much love and appreciation for reading, watching and listening to my “Herbal LaNeedA Travel Kit” introduction.

On that note! Here is the topic of this Strength (week)!

I was doing some research recently and I noticed that people in the audio/music industry tend to travel quite frequently. Considering that I to travel often, I figured I would marry these two aspects and do both full-time.

Now, I know what you are thinking. Lanita is doing something else, she done changed her mind again! Actually, I am on the same road…

You see, I love to travel. We all know that. (or you know that now!) And as a now older adult, I am looking at life in a new way.

I am looking to fulfill a specific type of feeling.

A feeling only I can have and one that has a purpose to quantify my need for travel.

Could I actually make a career out of traveling?

Am I capable of earning a living while traveling as an Audio Engineer or Music Producer?

Of course the answer is a proven YES!

However, what in the world does that mean for you. You can collaborate on this idea with me and both of us are going places. Perhaps you really need a travel agent to aid you with your own travel accommodations, planning and research.

Have you ever done research for a trip or family vacation? Takes time. Precious time. So, while I am doing this as a long-term career goal. You will be benefiting from my expertise and wisdom from the 30 some years I have as a traveling adult.

Could you imagine spending that much time researching, taking notes, making phone calls, collecting data about multiple destinations and actually booking travel for your family. I can.

Anyway, I just wanted to make that announcement.

I am a travel agent…

By the way, I will give you the updates about my travels to Coachella next week.

I did in-joy the experience and I want to share more of that with you…
