Hello Park City! Hope your coffee’s especially good this morning.
In today’s bring-the-kiddos edition: Five women entrepreneurs to know, Spring Into Art, and The Magic of Michael Grandinetti + excuses to get the fam out and about this week.
Heads up for pet parents: An emergency vet visit could cost you $7,000+ (ask me how I know 🙃). From the initial fee just to be seen to x-rays, surgery, medicine, and aftercare, it adds up quicker than a chew toy turns into a crime scene. The good news? You could get up to 90% cash back on your vet bill with this pet insurance plan.*

📰 In the news
Mountain-town entrepreneurs to know: Earlier this month, the Park City Chamber highlighted five local women business owners shaping our community, including Rebekah Stevens, Polly Baykova, and Shaun Deutschlander, from backcountry guiding to craft mixers — meet the five business owners.
Third annual arts celebration: Spring Into Art returns to The Yarrow tomorrow through Sunday, a free, public showcase featuring painters, jewelers, and award-winning photographers. Explore new work from hometown talent all weekend — get all the details.
Convenience meets thoughtful design: The newly opened Inn at Sundance brings 63 ski-in, ski-out rooms to Provo Canyon, less than an hour from Park City, with lift access, complimentary European-style breakfast, and elevated dining — get all the details.
Gold just hit record highs. What about your savings? While traditional IRAs have been treading water against inflation, gold has gained over 50% in three years. That gap is why more retirees are rolling a portion of their savings into gold IRAs (the kind that hold physical metal). We compared the top five options and broke down who they’re best for. Check it out here →
Paying hundreds of dollars a month for car insurance? Switching providers could save you up to $600 a year, and shopping around is way faster than it used to be – free comparison tools like this one make it easy.*
Highlights this week:

💎 Local business spotlight
Live music, sorted: Egyptian Theatre is celebrating 100 years with a stacked lineup of concerts, comedy, and musicals—basically, the midweek morale boost your inbox can’t deliver. Peek the calendar, text a friend, and snag seats before they vanish; Park City’s classic stage still knows how to bring it.
Fresh art, local vibe: When your walls (or just your eyeballs) need something new, Gallery MAR keeps Main Street interesting with rotating contemporary work from regional and national artists, plus a team that actually helps you find what fits your space. (gallerymar.com)
Steep, sip, exhale: Atticus Coffee & Teahouse is that cozy Park City standby where you can slow down with a proper cup of tea, meet a friend, or just hide from your to‑do list for a minute; a low‑key reset that somehow makes the rest of the week feel more doable.
These aren’t ads or sponsored placements, just some cool nearby spots we think are worth a visit.

🫶 We got your back
Makeup that actually works: My sister and I were talking the other day about how the makeup we used in our 20s… just doesn’t work now that we’re in our 30s and 40s. Laura Geller’s entire makeup line addresses this shift, with formulas that smooth, brighten, and actually stay put. If you’re in the same boat, *their curated kits are worth a look →
Own a piece of Apple for less than a coffee: Every time you buy something from Amazon or Starbucks, you’re putting money in their pocket. Fractional shares flip that: you can own a slice of those companies for as little as a dollar. Most investing apps make it incredibly easy, with zero commissions and no account minimums. See which ones we recommend →
Mom says she’s fine. You’re not so sure: “What if something happens when you’re home alone?” You’ve asked a hundred times, but the outcome’s always the same. I don’t need that. Life Alert’s for old people. The real struggle isn’t finding a medical alert system that’ll work… it’s finding one she won’t fight you on. We looked into five options designed to settle the standoff, from smartwatches to systems with nothing to wear at all. See which ones stood out →
Thinning hair? Your shampoo was never going to fix it: I’ve spent an embarrassing amount of money on hair-loss products, biotin, masks, sprays, you name it. Not one of them lasted. Turns out, most things target the strand, not the follicle (where thinning actually happens). Dermatologists have been prescribing treatments that work for years, but there are now plenty of options available with no office visits required. See our top picks for men and women →
Strangers can buy your personal data for $0.50: Data brokers sell your name, home address, phone number, estimated income, and other personal info to anyone willing to pay. Scammers and identity thieves use these databases to take advantage of you. There are dozens of affordable services that can help you protect yourself. These three are our favorites →
