1. Murdock Hyundai
What they do: Supply me with a means of transportation for my entire term as Miss Utah. Every 3,000 miles I get to trade in each car for a new one. If there are any issues with the car, they’re happy to fix or deal with any and all repairs.
My experience: Murdock has been supplying Miss Utahs with a means of transportation for the past TEN years! The Murdock family is always so friendly and generous. They’ve also invited me to help out with holiday events, and even hosted a meet and greet. Whenever I switch out cars, they are so quick and efficient. They always have a freshly cleaned car with a full gas tank ready and waiting for me. My favorite car this year? Definitely the Sonatas, hands down!
2. Ottalaus Salon
What they do: Supply me with full salon services for my entire year as Miss Utah.
My experience: I love Ottalaus! The staff is comprised of beautiful, genuine, and kind women who are so easy to talk to. Whether I’m getting my hair, nails, or waxing done, their work is always of the highest quality.
When I leave Ottalaus, I never want to wash my hair because it’s so soft and smells so good, my nails look professional and never chip, and waxing is quick and less painful.
3. Faces Photography
What they provide: Gorgeous photoshoots throughout my Miss Utah term.

6. Beaches Tanning Center
What they provide: Free tanning services for a year!

8. Ypsilon Dresses
What they provide: Gowns, earrings, and other wardrobe!
My experience: Ypsilon is fantstic. Andrea, Brynn, and the staff are so supportive and easy to work with. When I’ve needed dresses for photo shoots or even for a last minute appearance, they’ve always helped me out.
I also love how attentive Ypsilon is in finding dresses that fit your personal style. When you arrive, they ask you your favorite colors and style preferences, then select dresses to try on that match your description. The dresses are always beautiful quality and stunning.
9. VASA Fitness
What they provide: A year-long membership including personal training services.
My experience: I love VASA. It has a great atmosphere and so many different types of equipment to use. My favorites are the stairclimber, free weights section, and the grassy area perfect for ab exercises. My personal trainer was so kind, helpful, and intent on making sure I had proper form. I go almost every day and am so grateful for their support of the Miss Utah Organization.
10. Regalia Magnificient Apparel
What they provide: Miss America competition wardrobe.
My experience: Dave and Carry at Regalia are the dynamic duo. They take the time to get to know you and ask what your vision is. They make you feel important and let you take your time to find your ideal Miss America gown. They had so many beautiful gowns it was hard to choose, but my black ballgown will always be my favorite.
11. Crowns and Gowns
What they provide: Beautiful dresses and wardrobe!
My experience: The Crowns and Gowns team are so kind and helpful. If you have a different vision, they are happy to help you find the outfit of your dreams and are so persistent about it. The dresses are always stunning and they are always looking to keep up with the latest fashions.
12. Spa Trouve
What they provide: Skin and spa treatments for the entire duration of Miss Utah.
My experience: Spa Trouve is the best. The staff is always so friendly and accommodating — the first thing I’m asked when I walk in the door is “Hey! How are you? Can we get you some water?”
Sami is the esthetician who works with me and she is incredible at what she does. Sami is always very attentive to my skin’s needs. She personalizes my treatments to my skin and what I’m willing to try. Some of my favorite treatments have been micro needling and hydrafacials.
13. Shine Cosmetics
What they provide: Makeup products for my term as Miss Utah.
My experience: Shine makes me shine. My first experience with Shine was visiting them for a makeover experience and I ended up having a very uplifting conversation with the female staff. I always leave Shine feeling so good and the makeup products are second to none.
Each product has positive names like “Integrity” and “Honor” and they are fabulous. My favorite product is their “Timeless” LipLast and I use it on my lips just about every day.

My experience: I love MOB Fashion Boutique’s clothes. My favorite is their hoodies which are so comfortable! They also have very comfortable pajamas and sweaters!
15. Red Aspen
What they provide: Eyelashes, Nail Dashes (glue-on nails), and makeup products for my term as Miss Utah.
My experience: Red Aspen is phenomenal. The staff is so easy to work with and have always sent me their latest products to try out. Their eyelashes are the best I’ve ever had! They look natural but also make your lashes look so beautiful and full!
I use their Nail Dashes on a regular basis because it’s so easy to glue them on (especially if you don’t have time for a manicure). I truly love all their products and honestly use them every single day. My favorite lashes are the “Bella” lashes, and my favorite Nail Dashes are the “Kristen Won the Orchid Crown” dashes.
