What You Would Do With An Extra 15 Minutes

You probably have it, you just don’t realize it. But we got people talking about what they would do with an extra 15 minutes each day. The Mike & Carla Morning Show pointing out that it would work as a positive in your live.

It all stems from Reddit, who put out the questions and the answers definitely varied. Everything from meditation to decluttering your house. But we all have our own answers right? Think about it…instead of just sitting around, you have 15 minutes to get something done.

A lot of people thought, how about personal hygiene? Whether you need it or not…take a shower, clip the nails, shave! You have a quarter of an hour…do something to make yourself look and smell better!

What’s Worth Spending 15 Minutes On To You

The thread from Reddit also mentioned reaching out a distant relative or friend. Now there’s an idea…or maybe just reading a book.

One listener thought about just giving out hugs for 15 minutes. Just hugs! Not even thinking about all the other stuff. Both Mike O’Brian and Carla Rea agreed. In fact, Mike wasn’t shy saying, “…after a hug, what would I do with the other 13 minutes!”

Hey, to each his or her own. Finding a hobby, to stretching and cleaning your space out all made the Top 3 on this list.

So, think about it yourself…given that extra 15 minutes, what would you do to make a positive impact on your life. It seems so easy until you actually start thinking about it right?

Well, don’t burn your brain out too much. Just sit back, crank up the sound and listen to the segment from this morning…there might be a few ideas for ya.

Or better yet, just listen to the Hits of the 80s, 90s And More…that should help!

Rubber Ducky Trail Is The Happiest Hike In Las Vegas

Took a fun, unique little hike this past weekend with my besties. It’s called Rubber Ducky Trail.  It’s a nice out and back – or longer, depending on how you decide to explore it. It can be enjoyed by most ages and fitness types. Carla Rea, from The Mike & Carla Morning Show, is an avid hiker on the weekends!

The story is that there was a branch of this Joshua tree that overhung the trail used by mountain bikers.  Someone hung a rubber ducky from the branch (which is no longer there) to remind bikers to “duck!”  Since then, visitors from all over have brought rubber duckies to hang from the tree.

Hike one of the happiest trails in Las Vegas

To access the hike, park at the Late Night Trailhead off of SR 160 on the way to Pahrump.  You’ll start the hike to the rubber ducky tree on the trail that is to the right of the sign about the Old Spanish Trail.  Follow it you get to a dirt road (about half a mile), cross the road, and follow the trail on the other side of the road.  Soon you’ll see signs that point to the Rubber Ducky trail so just follow those until you get to the tree.

Make it fun and bring a small rubber ducky with you to leave behind. Write the date, and something witty, on it!

Getting to the tree is only about a mile – so 2 miles round trip. But we spent more time on the trail,  which I suggest doing, because there are amazing views of Red Rock canyon that you’ll get the farther along you go.

By the way, this is very popular with mountain bikers. They are very aware of hikers, so try to be aware of them as well.

In my opinion – the happiest hike in Las Vegas!
