Fall is the perfect time travel — and the North Carolina Zoo is giving you two great reasons to bring the family to one of the world’s largest natural habitat zoos.

On the weekends of Oct. 21-22 + Oct. 28-29, go on an African safari at Boo at the North Carolina Zoo, featuring:
  • Daytime Halloween fun (perfect for kids 4-12, but all ages welcomed)
  • Trick or treating along the pathways of Africa
  • Activities, inflatables, entertainment + costume contests in the Africa Amphitheater

Great Escapes: Our guide to Marfa, TX

Greetings from Marfa (and 6AM Campaign Strategist Stephanie Rogers). If you love cowboy boots and country songs, paranormal happenings, and huge pieces of minimalist art, then get in the Chevy — we’re going to Marfa.
  • Why go? The Marfa Lights: Since early pioneer times, folks have reported sightings of unexplained, ghostly blobs of colorful light dancing on Marfa’s skyline after dusk. Some say it’s paranormal, others say it’s an atmospheric coincidence. I saw them for myself, and can confirm that it’s strikingly weird.
  • Act like a local: Hotel Saint George’s bar and restaurant is perfect for more upscale dinner and drinks (the cocktails especially are phenomenal), as is Jett’s Grill.
  • Where to stay: Fully Remodeled 1950s Texaco Gas Station (~$219/night), or Big Sky Marfa (~$431/night) if you’re traveling with a crew.

Drink

Should you really drink 8 glasses of water per day?

Since the 1940s, we’ve been told to drink eight glasses of water per day. But drinking beyond thirst dilutes blood electrolyte levels (especially sodium levels), leading to headaches, low energy, cramps, confusion, or worse.

The key? Add electrolytes into the mix.

Enter: LMNT.

Created by scientists, LMNT has enough sodium, potassium, and magnesium to get you truly hydrated. It has zero sugar and artificial colors — while offering fan-fave flavors like Citrus Salt and Raspberry Salt.
