đź“° In the news
Community transport gains momentum: Village SCAT, the nonprofit ride service for Hot Springs Village, received a $10,000 grant from the Baker Tilly Foundation’s Wishes program to help buy a new vehicle after a nomination — read the full story.
Family run bistro venture: Actor and North Little Rock native Joey Lauren Adams is opening Lyle’s in Hot Springs. It will serve cocktails and be managed by Zack Walters of Oklahoma City’s Sedalia’s — read the full story.
A twist at the pump: Hot Springs drivers see relief as Arkansas gas prices recently fell nearly four cents, while the national average climbed 1.2 cents to $2.88 amid rising crude prices and geopolitical risk — learn why costs are shifting.
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 energy: Mainline Sports Bar brings saucy energy to game day with classic and spicy wings, rubbed or dressed, and a lively Oaklawn crowd. TV-side tables, big cheers, and nonstop dipping debates keep the action rolling all game.
Make your shower happier: Bathhouse Soapery & Caldarium crafts small-batch soaps, foaming scrubs, and scents that turn rinse-and-repeat into a mini spa moment. Think new favorites, an upgraded shower lineup, and gifts that say “I’ve got it together”… close enough.
Two-course local classic: Hot Springs Country Club pairs two distinct 18s: the classic Arlington and the slightly more open Park, tucked in the Ouachita foothills. Smooth bentgrass greens roll true, with just enough bite to keep swings honest, and the friendly smack-talk usually starts on the first tee.
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 đź‘€
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.
