Hey Logan, hope your week’s off to a good start!

In today’s wallet-friendly edition: Secondhand style boom, speed-date with 50+ singles, and someone Googled you this week + lots of fun things to do for free.

Today’s sponsor, American Hartford Gold, is helping folks around Logan 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

Secondhand style gains momentum: Logan college students are turning to thrift shops like Plato’s Closet and Indy Clover for quality finds at lower prices, as the resale market grew to $56 billion in 2025 — read the full story.

New chapter for USU: State lawmakers approved USU’s reinvestment plan in February, unlocking $8.8 million that had been withheld after a months-long review. The funding boost will support programs across the Logan campus — read the full story.

Share your civic voice: Logan City’s monthly open office hours happen today from 4:30 to 5:15 p.m. at City Hall, inviting neighbors to discuss traffic, development, infrastructure, and other local concerns — get all the 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.

Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.

Highlights this week:

• Speed-date with 50+ singles in Logan
• Celebrate John Denver at Cowboy Rendezvous
• Join Logan Library’s romance book club
• Save on self-care during the CVS Epic Beauty Sale

🏆 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

Twirl-worthy midweek plan: When the carb craving hits, Jack’s Wood Fired Oven serves legit pasta like creamy pesto cavatappi or sausage marinara, plus a cozy vibe that makes catching up easy. File it under “why cook tonight” and let the comfort food do the heavy lifting.

Closet time travel: Kings Finest Vintage has legit finds from the 1910s through Y2K, from dresses and denim to sharp jackets and one-of-a-kind accessories, all curated in downtown Logan. A century-spanning piece can refresh your rotation… history looks good when it fits.

Chill without the chamber: Skip the nitrogen pod and reset with a cold plunge, infrared sauna, and red light at Salt & Sauna. This low-key hideout helps locals rebound from workouts, ease stress, and sleep deeper… the kind of chill that loosens shoulders without the fuss.

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.
