📰 In the news
Customer experience accolades: Salt Lake City International Airport was named Best Airport by the 2025 ASQ Global Customer Experience Awards program, standing out among more than 400 participating airports — see the award categories.
Childcare preservation plan advances: After voting to close four daycares, Salt Lake County Council voted to keep them open until May 31, 2026, while reviewing youth recreation and exploring summer options — read what the council approved.
Protect yourself from impostors: Salt Lake County officials warn about scam callers pretending to be sheriff’s deputies, demanding payment for missed jury duty or warrants. Hang up, don’t share information, and report suspicious calls — learn what to watch for.
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.

🏆 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
Wing night, solved: Piper Down Pub quietly nails cravings, with crispy wings for purists, a surprisingly deep vegan lineup, and cozy, low-key vibes in the Ballpark neighborhood. It’s an easy hang where chicken lovers and plant folks both leave happy, no fuss, just good flavors.
Clean, local skin care: If your shower caddy needs an honesty check, Olio Skin & Beard Co.makes small-batch skin, beard, and tattoo care, plus ridiculously good soaps, with real, non-GMO, mostly organic ingredients, crafted in SLC. Genuinely clean stuff for faces and beards… and anyone who gets close.
Quick swing fix: When winter drags on, Golf The Round keeps your game alive with a nine-hole par-33 loop and a lighted range open year-round with 30 heated stalls and reservable premium bays. Take a lesson or log a practice session, then roll into spring feeling sharp.
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.
This house is wild
Rebuilt to the studs in 2024, this East Bench standout pairs timeless design and smart upgrades, minutes from the U, downtown, and canyon access. A chef’s kitchen with custom cabinetry, natural stone, and integrated appliances anchors living that opens to a covered patio with fire feature.
