It’s Friday, Tulsa! Let’s finish this week strong.
In today’s can’t-miss-weekend-plans edition: Underground parking deal, Art in Bloom, and Zach Bryan + a stacked lineup of events this weekend.
Your grocery bill is telling you something: Life costs ~25% more than it did in 2021, but your savings… probably aren’t keeping up. That’s the quiet math a lot of retirees are reckoning with right now. AHG’s free guide breaks down how gold & silver can help (plus how to get up to $25k in free silver). Grab your copy here.*

📰 In the news
Balancing growth and character: Neighbors and developers struck a deal at Brookside’s 33rd and Peoria after the Board of Adjustment approved a variance, allowing underground parking with a requirement it remain completely underground — read the full story.
Bridging service to careers: Tulsa nonprofit Coffee Bunker is seeking more business partners to help unemployed veterans find civilian jobs, with about 40 veterans waiting. Partners already include Webco, Bama Foods, and Hideaway Pizza — learn how partnerships help veterans.
Stress-free preflight practice: Tulsa International Airport’s Ready for Takeoff event will guide travelers through the airport on April 24, from the ticket counter to a resource fair featuring local organizations — get all the event details.
Your pet deserves the best, not the cheapest: When the vet gives you options, nobody wants to pick based on price. But when you’re paying out of pocket, that’s usually how it goes. Spot reimburses up to 90% of eligible vet bills, so the conversation can be about what’s best for your little nugget… not what fits the budget — see what (and who) it covers.*
Auto insurance rates change all the time: Shopping around throughout the year means you’re never stuck overpaying without knowing it. I run a quick comparison every few months just to see what’s out there. Last time I did it, I cut my payment in half — this free tool makes it easy.*
Highlights this week:

💎 Local business spotlight
Tiki without the plane: Feeling like winter needs a vacation? Saturn Room shakes up transportive rum classics and smart tropical riffs in a cozy downtown hideout. Ideal for post-work decompression or a low-key date. Trust the bartenders to steer, and the island vibes follow.
Fresh kicks, local flair: Silhouette Sneakers & Art keeps Tulsa’s rotation sharp with authenticated Jordans, Nikes, New Balances, and more, plus the occasional art drop. Beaters take a bow as cleaner pairs hit the pavement, making spring feel a touch quicker than reality.
Low-effort lash glow-up: Mascara not cutting it? BLOOM Lashes & Brows delivers clean, natural-looking extensions, lifts, and tidy brows in a cozy midtown studio, shaping Fresno since 2007. Wake up looking brighter, so your coffee can handle less of the workload.
These aren’t ads or sponsored placements, just some cool nearby spots we think are worth a visit.

🫶 We got your back
When styling becomes hiding: If your morning routine has quietly shifted from “styling” to “covering,” 46 million women in the US are right there with you. Keranique’s regrowth system helps you fight back by strengthening hair from the follicle up without worrying about pills or changing up your daily routine. *See how to get it for under $40 →
A doctor’s been fixing snoring for 30 years: No clunky mouthpiece or loud machines, just two quick throat sprays before bed every night. It might sound too simple, but more than 3 million people use it, and a double-blind study shows 79% of patients reported positive results. *See how it works →
Skip the $200 carpet cleaning: Bringing in the pros runs around $150 to $300, and if you’ve got pet stains or set-in spots, it’s closer to the high end. Campanelli offers an 18oz aerosol that tackles the same stains for about $25. All you have to do is spray and let the foam do its thing, then vacuum it up. *Watch it in action →
You might owe the IRS less than you think: IRS bills include penalties that compound every month. But some of those can be removed, and you can often settle the remaining balance for less than what’s on the letter. Tax relief services exist to help you handle this exact process. See how they work →
The modern version of flipping through a catalog: Inspire Uplift’s flash deals page is what a Sears catalog would look like if it were built for 2026. Small business sellers, home and kitchen finds, beauty products, garden stuff, gifts… all discounted 50-70% off and rotating daily. It’s a low-pressure browse with genuinely good prices. *Flip through the deals here →
