📰 Most-clicked stories this week
Longstanding misbilling finally remedied: State regulators approved NV Energy’s refund plan for over 100,000 customers, totaling $63.2 to $65.5 million, with first checks expected within 120 days for Henderson and across southern Nevada — read the full story.
Long-idle site rebounds: Four new businesses are coming to Henderson’s Monument at Calico Ridge, including a barbershop expected by April or May, a golf cart simulator restaurant and bar, plus a liquor store — see what’s opening and when.
Chronic potholes prompt big fix: Henderson’s notorious Stephanie Street will get a nearly $23 million overhaul starting in June, with pipeline replacements and fresh pavement from Galleria to Windmill, wrapping up in September 2027 — get all the project details.
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.
Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.

🏆 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.

🫶 This week’s top finds
Burger mood, solved: When a midweek craving hits, Turf Grill has the classic, made-to-order burger-and-fries combo that simply works. It’s low-key and satisfying, ideal for a quick refuel before errands or after a gym run. No fuss, just the right bite, every time.
Weekend treasure hunt: At Josie’s Closet, curated consignment and legit vintage await: everyday staples, rare statement pieces, all sustainably priced and refreshingly unfussy. Inventory moves fast, so weekend browsing feels like a treasure hunt… and somehow you leave with something you’ll actually wear.
Beauty stash upgrade: Queen Beez Beauty Supply stocks hair care staples, human and synthetic hair, braiding hair, wigs, and everyday cosmetics, so last-minute runs don’t derail your week. When your wash-day cart needs a top-off, their practical picks keep styles looking sharp at home.
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.
