📰 In the news

Expanded placements for impounded animals: Utah lawmakers passed Biscuit’s Bill, allowing dogs seized in abuse cases to live outside shelters after notice to owners, inspired by Biscuit, a dog who spent years in a shelter — learn what the bill changes.

A stylish night with purpose: Fashionphile opened its first Utah store in Lehi, with a celebration that also supported Leukemia patient Bobbi Carter Hogue, plus an industry night at Hotel Monaco bar The Vault — read the full story.

New resources for heart health: MountainStar Healthcare has expanded cardiology care in Utah County, opening a heart clinic at Timpanogos Regional Hospital in Orem with specialists for arrhythmias, coronary artery disease, and other complex conditions — learn how to seek care.

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:

• Join a casual Lehi CocoaHeads meetup
• Savor desserts at Stagecoach Park
• Create a Simple Gifts music video

🫶 We got your back

Carb-happy lunch idea: Village Baker in Lehi is the reliable ‘I deserve this’ stop, serving warm milled-on-site bread stacked with handcrafted sandwiches, rotating soups (hello, broccoli cheese), and scratch-made cookies. When the day gets hectic, Village Baker has a way of quietly fixing it.

Old-school park vibes: Craving a quick reset close to home? Wines Park delivers with reservable pavilions for potlucks, two play structures, a swing set for the littles, and convenient restrooms, power, and water. Fewer surprises, more time to hang out.

Playtime upgrade, unlocked: When cabin fever hits, Teton Toys brings the midweek rescue kit: LEGO hunts, brain-twisting puzzles, arts-and-crafts, classic throwbacks, and small surprises that buy you 20 quiet minutes. Kids choose the fun, and you enjoy that parent-of-the-hour glow.

Why your last diet didn’t work: Sustained weight loss is nearly impossible with diet alone. Your body literally fights back by making you hungrier the moment you start restricting calories. That’s why more doctors are recommending GLP-1s. The best part? Getting them has never been easier. We compared three programs to help you find the right fit. See which ones stood out →

Your data is for sale right now: There are over 400 websites selling your info to marketers, political campaigns, and scammers. They’ve got your phone number, home address, relatives’ names… you name it. That’s how robocallers seem to know everything about you before you pick up. You can remove your info one site at a time, or pay a service to do it for you. Here’s what we recommend →

Are you quietly overpaying for car insurance? 🚗

Premiums have been climbing across Utah but most folks won’t notice until they’re hit with a higher bill when it’s time to renew.

That’s exactly what happened to me. I had the same policy for half a decade. Autopay was on, it was out of sight and out of mind. Turns out I was blindly paying way more than everyone else I knew.

If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too – here’s the comparison tool I used.

This house is wild

This 2021 Evans Contemporary Farmhouse by Toll Brothers in Canyon Point, Traverse Mountain, packs upgrades. A 12-foot-ceiling great room, wide-plank oak floors, and a quartz island with KitchenAid appliances headline the main level. The layout includes 5 beds and 4 baths, a 9-foot-ceiling basement with a second kitchen, a TimberTech deck with remote privacy shade, CAT6 wiring, and fiber internet.
