đź“° In the news
Inside a legend’s journey: A Beautiful Noise, the Neil Diamond musical, opens tomorrow at Thelma Gaylord Performing Arts Theatre in OKC, running March 3 to 8 and celebrating the Rock and Roll icon’s life — get dates and show details.
Broader ACCESS Oklahoma work advances: Construction is underway to widen the John Kilpatrick Turnpike near Wilshire Boulevard, shifting traffic and adding a new lane and median barrier, with work expected to continue into spring 2027 — see scope cost and timeline.
Tulip season across Oklahoma: Mustang’s Buffalo Creek Berry Farm will debut a U-pick field, and farms in Harrah and Altus prepare for early to mid March openings, with Altus expecting 100,000 blooms — see what’s planned and when.
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
Crave-worthy wing night: Wing Supreme delivers crispy, juicy wings with a wok-tossed finish and an 11-spice secret perfected in OKC since 1989. With 18 sauces, weeknights stay easy, flavor runs high, and the group chat is happy.
Refill, relax, repeat: At Local Lather Refillery & Soap Shop, errands feel like self-care with small-batch soaps, skin-friendly bath goodies, and a legit refill bar that trims plastic while keeping the joy. Mood-lifting scents make every shower feel less chore, more treat.
Swing-worthy doubleheader: With East and West layouts, Lincoln Park Golf Course serves up tight, tree-lined tests or more room to breathe, along with a dependable practice setup and a welcoming clubhouse. A city favorite that suits grinders and casual rounds alike, it keeps your swing feeling alive.
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
This reimagined 5-bed luxury residence in Gaillardia’s gated golf community shines after a $1.5M, 1.5-year overhaul. Sunlit, open living flows over new wood floors, anchored by four paneled marble-and-granite-style fireplaces and imported wall paneling. A hibachi-equipped gourmet kitchen joins a saltwater pool backyard. Two main-level primary suites offer spa baths and dual oversized closets, plus office and game room.
