📰 Most-clicked stories this week
Mohave County’s biggest flea market: A quick trip from Lake Havasu, Neely’s Korner in Golden Valley delivers a shopping adventure, with indoor browsing and an outdoor swap meet where $35 can fill your backseat — get all the details.
Backyard foe or friend: Scorpion weed, a desert native, will bloom soon around Lake Havasu and Mohave County, can irritate skin but helps bees and soils, and can be pulled before it flowers — learn risks, benefits, and removal.
From the skywalk to riverside resorts: A February feature highlighted 11 bucket-list Arizona small towns, putting Lake Havasu City and the London Bridge in the spotlight, with more easy road-trip escapes a few hours from home — check out the full lineup.
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
Make it a movie night: Movies Havasu keeps it local and easy with quick parking, comfy recliners, and popcorn you swear you’ll share but won’t. Fresh picks make weeknights feel like a big-screen reset. No overthinking required… just an easy escape.
Weeknight tapas, sorted: Cha-Bones keeps weeknights lively with a deep tapas lineup: Brie, Apple & Pecan Flatilla, arancini, mussels, plus a martini list that pairs a little too well. Perfect for sharing, a few plates add up to a midweek win.
Skin TLC, Havasu‑style: From custom facials and microchanneling to an in-spa boutique of organic and clinical skincare, Debra’s Skin Care & Vitality Spa keeps skin glowing at home. Come for a reset, or pop in to restock the good stuff… either way, your routine just got better.
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.

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.
