📰 In the news
Copper glow across night: Provo will see a rare blood moon before dawn Tuesday, with totality near 4:04 a.m., chilly temps and maybe clouds, and the last total lunar eclipse visible here until 2028 — get viewing tips and timing.
Car wash-level water use: Provo’s Planning Commission recommended rezoning for a 66,000-square-foot East Bay data center despite Mayor Marsha Judkins’ opposition. With water and power limits, it heads to City Council soon — learn about project conditions.
Seasoned duo behind the concept: Sportelli’s, a fast-casual Italian restaurant in Provo, opened in late 2025 and serves scratch-made family recipes with customizable meals, with entrée prices from $10 to $16.50 and more ideas planned — read the full story.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.
Highlights this week:

🏆 Gold and silver are heating up
Together with our sponsor American Hartford Gold
Gold just posted its strongest run in decades… and the momentum is carrying into 2026. Silver has become one of the most talked-about assets as investors look for ways to stay ahead of market volatility.
While many are still sitting on the sidelines, others are quietly repositioning.
If you’re wondering whether you’re missing something, AHG has a free guide explaining what’s driving the renewed interest… and how investors are approaching precious metals right now.
It’s free and worth reading before the next move.

🫶 We got your back
Serious wing fix: Bok Bok turns out Korean-style wings with shatter-crisp skin and sauces that range from house sweet-heat to candy garlic, best alongside slaw and fries, making even a midweek Netflix queue feel like a small celebration.
Pro-level makeup finds: Whether you’re restocking skincare and lip color or diving into SFX makeup, wigs, and pro tools, Taylor Maid Beauty Supply keeps shelves packed and guidance handy. Consider it your reliable plot twist for any look, from everyday to out-there.
Your midweek mulligan: Timpanogos Golf Club fits golf to your clock, with a full 18 when daylight cooperates. When it doesn’t, The Pasture, a lighted 9-hole par-3, keeps the round alive. Expect a few birdies and at least one worth bragging about.
Thinning hair? It only gets worse: A few months ago, I noticed my ponytail getting thinner. I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, etc.) but mostly just hoped it would fix itself… until I learned that active follicles can permanently go dormant if you don’t do something about it. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn more about my favorite online options here.

Someone Googled you this week 👀
It may feel like an invasion of privacy, but unfortunately It’s the new normal. Whether you’re joining a committee, selling something locally, dating again, or just meeting new neighbors… people are going to look you up online.
Like it or not, the internet has a way of surfacing past mistakes and outdated information that no longer reflects who you are.
Thankfully, there’s a really easy way for you – or someone you care about – to clean up outdated results that no longer tell the real story. Learn more here.
