From today’s sponsor, FinanceBuzz: Many California drivers end up paying higher auto insurance premiums because they don’t shop around enough. The same driver with the same car can get wildly different quotes from different insurers, so it truly pays to compare. Their free tool makes it easy.*

đź“° In the news
An unlikely bond emerges: Five months after a paralyzing surf accident in Oceanside, Orange County surfer Scott Muir is walking and driving again, and the teens who saved him have been publicly honored — see the progress and tributes.
Four generations in the fields: Strawberry season is arriving across North County, with peak expected in early April. Carlsbad Strawberry Company offers U-Pick buckets. Choose bright red berries with fresh green caps — get all the details.
Big moves in golf tech: Revelyst Golf Technology plans to open a headquarters in Carlsbad in Spring 2026, with showrooms and experience spaces. The company is also continuing investment in its Scottsdale, Arizona site — 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.*
Gold & silver are hot: Last year was gold’s best year since 1979. Silver did even better, climbing nearly 150%… and analysts expect the momentum to continue. Curious about precious metal investing? GoldCo has a helpful guide that covers everything you need to know. It’s free — and definitely worth a read.*

đź’Ž Local business spotlight
Dive into your week: Thinking about finally getting scuba-certified? With Salty Fins Diving, Oceanside locals go from first bubbles to advanced certification through patient, safety-first coaching that sticks. Trade another scroll session for reefs and rays, and let your next errand be exploring. This week could be the one you finally breathe underwater.
A little glow-up nudge: When you want results without the overdone vibe, My Aesthetics Haven delivers personalized Botox, dermal fillers, microneedling, and chemical peels, led by Physician Assistant Ashley Isabell. You’ll leave looking refreshed, not “did something,” just a subtle boost that fits your life.
Weekend chains, anyone? Whether you’re sneaking in nine with a buddy or chasing a PB, Kit Carson Park Disc Golf Course pairs creekside shots with shaded lines and just enough OB to keep things spicy, a breezy, confidence-boosting loop that clears the head and helps pad those circle-1s.
These aren’t ads or sponsored placements, just some cool nearby spots we think are worth a visit.

🫶 We got your back
Thinning hair? Don’t treat the wrong thing: When my ponytail started thinning, I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, sprays, etc.) and not one of them lasted. Turns out, most products target the strand, not the follicle… and that’s the whole problem. Once follicles go dormant, they need targeted help to come back. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn about my favorites here →
Last call for the CVS Epic Beauty Sale: Today’s your last chance to save on all sorts of self-care products at CVS, including makeup, beauty tools, skin care, hair masks, moisturizers, and more from all your favorite brands. *Shop the sale before it ends →
Paying full price is officially optional: Blu Dot just marked down dozens of their best sofas, beds, dining tables, outdoor pieces, and lighting by as much as 60%. Not because something’s wrong with them, but because every great design eventually has to make room for the next one. The deals change daily, so it’s always a new adventure. *See what’s on sale today →
Most people have no idea what’s happening inside their body: Not because the data doesn’t exist, but because no one’s collecting it. Routine annual checkups miss things like body composition, biological age, and the biomarkers that can help predict long-term patterns. The good news? HumeHealth offers tools to help you track all of that at home for less than the cost of a specialist visit. *Use code NEW20 to save 20% →
Something in your house is about to break: It might be your AC, your water heater, your fridge… doesn’t matter. Every major appliance has an expiration date, and when it goes, you’ll be staring down a repair bill that can climb into the thousands fast. An AHS home warranty covers these types of surprises + *select plans are $150 off right now →
