• IT'S NEVER TOO LATE: Flexible travel dates can be a big help when looking for a deal. Many of us need a little push when planning a trip. About half of Americans say finding right place to stay held them back during the trip planning process, that's according to a recent study by Booking.com. But using the site, makes planning process a lot easier. You can scan millions of reviews and even filter results based on budget.  And there are some creative accommodations out there too --- so, pass on the hotel and opt for a boat or tent rental instead!
• SNACK ON THE GO: Wherever your adventures take you this summer be sure to pack granola bars to keep you fueled for the outdoors. You'll thank yourself later. Since summer is finally here it's time to trade in some screen time for green time and get moving! From now until the end of August, Nature Valley is hosting its Summer of a Million Miles Challenge to encourage people across the nation to get outdoors. It's easy to join, download Under Armour's MapMyHike app and log your hikes throughout the summer to be entered to win exciting prizes. If everyone collectively logs at least one million miles, Nature Valley will donate $250,000 to the National Park Foundation to help keep our parks beautiful!

• STAY FRESH: Many of us will be hitting the roads or taking to the skies. For longer trips, it's always a good idea to keep mints handy. Tic Tacs are the go-to mints for that fresh feeling. The mint company is giving travelers the change to win a Little Adventures Prize Pack that includes a $350 gift card and other road trip essentials. Learn more at TicTacLittleAdventures.com
• HOT WHEELS: If you want to ride the hottest car this summer, check out the all-new 2019 Toyota Avalon.

There's even a hybrid version. So good for the wallet, and the environment!
