đź“° In the news
Cultural roots in every cup: From Guatemalan beans at Convivio CafĂ© to Cuban pastelitos at CafĂ© Tres and empanadas at LaTinto, Denver spots are celebrating global coffee traditions and the stories behind them — explore Denver’s global cafes.
Leaders assess tech footprint: Denver officials plan a moratorium on new data centers, backed by Mayor Mike Johnston, to review regulations and neighborhood impacts on water and electricity. Existing and permitted projects would continue — read the full story.
Spotlighting local Colorado brands: Natural Grocers Celebrate Colorado event runs March 3 to 5 with deals, giveaways, and sweepstakes at all 45 Colorado stores, plus monthlong discounts on select items. Starts tomorrow in Denver — get all the event details.
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 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
Sauce lovers, rejoice: Craving a low-key wing fix that actually hits? Fire on the Mountain keeps Denver deliciously messy with crispy wings and an absurd spread of house-made sauces, from tangy to tongue-tingly. Sharing a few flavors with a friend counts as self-care.
Small-batch glow, big vibes: Terra Apothecary is the neighborhood spot where you pop in for a face oil and leave planning a new ritual. Herbs, essential oils, and small-batch skincare from local makers keep it simple, whether you need a midweek reset or a weekend treat-yourself moment.
Skyline swings, anyone? City Park Golf Course pairs a fresh redesign with a full driving range and Denver-meets-mountains views that make even a double bogey feel photogenic. Ideal for rounds with a neighbor, then lingering on the clubhouse patio, low-key perfect for catching up and maybe convincing yourselves to walk nine more.
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.
This house is wild
Inside gated Cedar Estates, a steel, glass, and wood showpiece offers soaring sightlines and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The chef-caliber kitchen boasts Wolf appliances, a waterfall island, and a live-edge slab table. Resort-style grounds add a pool and spa, outdoor kitchen, and sculptural fire pits. Bocci-lit living with wine storage, an elevator, and a Finnleo sauna complete it near Cherry Creek.
