Happy weekend, Carson City!
In today’s happening-today edition: Women of Distinction honorees, inmates training wild horses, National Miss Curvy pageant, and more. + events worth checking out today & tomorrow.
From today’s sponsor, FinanceBuzz: Many Nevada 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
Spotlight on local changemakers: The Carson City Chamber will honor 11 Women of Distinction on March 25, including Bekah Bock, Jeanne Freeman, Helen Kaur, and Lucia Maloney for their lasting contributions to the community — learn about their impact.
Inmates train wild horses and burros: BLM is negotiating a contract to keep the wild horse adoption program at Carson City’s Northern Nevada Correctional Center, following staff concerns and cost pressures that ended programs elsewhere — learn what’s next for the program.
Perks grow as members join: American Gourmet Club invites Carson City diners to earn ‘foodie dollar’ points and support local restaurants. Over 65 participating businesses, and every 20 sign ups triggers a $25 gift card — learn how to join and earn.
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
Gut check, made easy: At Sacred Springs Colon Hydrotherapy, a discreet, water-only cleanse on the LIBBE open system keeps things private, low-drama, and speculum-free. Feel less “ugh” and more “ahh,” then get back to Carson City life without the bloaty subplot. Simple self-maintenance, done.
Glow-up, but doctor-led: Forever Young MD Spa pairs a physician’s eye with legit tech, from Botox and fillers to microneedling, IPL, CO2 laser, body sculpting, and tailored weight-loss plans. Treatments are performed by Dr. Krivan, for results that feel considered and quietly transformative.
Stretch your throwing arm: From a quick nine on Pony Express to a full 18 with panoramic views, Carson Ridge Disc Golf Park delivers an easy reset with high-desert trails, quirky rock corridors, and legit cardio outside the gym. Breezes, big skies, and chain hits keep the rhythm.
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 →
