From today’s sponsor, FinanceBuzz: Many Arizona 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.*

📰 In the news
A living museum’s revival: Between Flagstaff and Kingman, tiny Seligman keeps Route 66 nostalgia alive with murals, motels, and hand-lettered signs. Locals say it feels like a Pixar movie, thanks to barber Angel Delgadillo — discover its preservation journey.
Singles and seniors reshape market: Data shows the Lake Havasu City and Kingman metro has one of the biggest drops in household size over the last decade, boosting demand for smaller homes across Mohave County — see what’s driving the shift.
A standout Southwest escape: A feature spotlights Cattail Cove State Park near Lake Havasu City, praising its clear blue water, rugged mountain views, gentle family friendly beach, and miles of Colorado River shoreline — explore activities and highlights.
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.*
Highlights this week:

💎 Local business spotlight
Fries with a view: Crispy, golden, and surprisingly addictive, the fries at Burgers by the Bridge nail that salty-satisfying sweet spot, ideal for a quick after-work fix or a low-key weekend hang by London Bridge. Pair with a burger if you must, but these gourmet spuds happily steal the show.
Weekend self-care upgrade: Desert Oasis Wellness & Medspa pairs personalized injectables, laser treatments, facials, and hormone optimization with a calm, redesigned space, plus IV hydration when you need a boost. Face the Lake Havasu sun with skin that looks refreshed, not filtered.
Desert chains calling: Locals keep discovering fresh lines at SARA Park Disc Golf Course… elevation shifts, island greens, and that classic Havasu breeze that tests every putt. Bring a friend, water, and a couple discs, then turn an after-work toss into your midweek reset.
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 →
