From today’s sponsor, FinanceBuzz: Many South Carolina 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.*

💎 Local business spotlight
Fries that hit different: From classic 100% Idaho hand-cut to gravy-smothered or cheesy, River City Cafe treats fries like a main character. When the salt-and-crunch urge hits, grab a basket, settle in with a burger, and let those crispy edges do their job… instant mood lift.
Self-care, but smarter: Taylor Wellness Medical Spa pairs medical-grade skincare, injectables, lasers, and hormone support with an easygoing, no-judgment vibe. If your winter-weary face, body, or energy needs a reset, their team tailors plans that fit your goals and calendar, so feeling good becomes refreshingly straightforward.
Ace this week: Splinter City Disc Golf Course mixes open fairways and shaded lines with two tee sets, perfect for first-timers and birdie chasers alike. A quick local reset: fresh air, friendly players, and zero fuss…simple, satisfying rounds whenever you need them.

🫶 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 →
