Today’s sponsor, American Hartford Gold, is helping folks around North DFW protect their savings as gold and silver continue to gain momentum. Their free guide explains what’s driving the surge… and what to know before adding precious metals to your portfolio. Grab your free copy here.

📰 In the news

Fresh digs for classic fare: Frisco favorite Panj Tara will relocate to Allen in early March, promising a sleeker dining room and North Indian staples like butter chicken and shahi paneer for Collin County diners — get all the details.

Access expands under new rules: Plano’s Goodblend is among the first in North Texas to offer onsite medical marijuana, letting qualified patients fill prescriptions and pick up products the same day — read the full story.

Outfitting teens for prom: Plano groups seek donations and volunteers as St. Andrew Methodist Church hosts its 17th Prom Closet, continuing today through March 5 and returning March 7 — get dates and drop-off 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.

Highlights this week:

• Shop Desi women-led fashion in Dallas
• Volunteer to support Towne Lake runners
• Compete at Frisco Skate Comp Reunion 2026
• You’re probably overpaying for car insurance

🏆 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

Duck‑fat wing fix: Quietly turning out gloriously crispy, duck‑fat fried chicken wings, Roots Chicken Shak keeps things simple and craveable inside Legacy Hall. Juicy, shatter‑crisp, and dangerously snackable… the wings play nice with a trio of house sauces, ready to settle any flavor debates with friends.

Elevate your self-care: Sharla’s stocks curated skincare, indulgent bath extras, and a signature fragrance that makes errands feel a little fancy. Think of it as McKinney’s stash of small luxuries on the square, ready when you need a midweek pick-me-up.

Where your game clicks: At Pecan Hollow Golf Course, you’ll get nostalgic muni vibes without the crust. Tree-lined holes, quick greens, and, when time’s tight, a lighted range plus a 5-hole short course for after-work reps. Nine with a friend feels like a reset.

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 👀

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.

Fourteen-foot double doors, soaring ceilings, and walls of windows frame a sleek linear fireplace. A chef’s kitchen shines with a 12-foot island and Gaggenau appliances. Glass accordion doors open to a resort pool, spa, and sculptural fire and water features.
