🌿 Zenfullyme: Your Answer To Aches, Stress & Problem Skin

🩺 Discover the nurse-crafted solutions born from a personal mission to soothe and heal

Tired of searching for gentle, natural solutions that truly soothe your skin and ease your everyday aches? Do you long for self-care products you can trust, made with intention and free from harsh chemicals? Many of us do, navigating a world where finding truly nurturing options can feel overwhelming.

Right here in Colorado Springs, we're fortunate to have Zenfullyme, a local standout founded by the remarkable Sandie Green. With over 30 years as a dedicated nurse, Sandie witnessed firsthand the power of healing, both conventional and natural.

Her journey began at home, crafting solutions for her family – from her military husband’s aches to her daughters’ sensitive skin. This personal mission blossomed into Zenfullyme, driven by Sandie’s incredible "make things happen" spirit. Balancing a full-time nursing career and motherhood, she pours her passion into creating these products and is out at local markets as many weekends as possible, connecting directly with you.

What truly sets Sandie's Zenfullyme apart is her unique blend of science and nature. Her nursing expertise ensures every handcrafted product, like the soothing Arnica + Turmeric Trauma Cream for sore muscles or the calming essential oil blends for stress, is effective and gentle.

She believes high-quality, organic options should be accessible, keeping her prices reasonable. Sandie actively listens, shaping her new offerings based on community needs, and is even working on new options, like a beeswax-free lip balm, based on a customer request.

Experience the difference that comes from Zenfullyme, rooted in genuine care, quality, and community. Discover your next favorite self-care essential and support her local business, which truly delivers indulgent yet affordable self-care.

Find your calm with Zenfullyme! Explore Sandie’s full range of handcrafted products at Zenfullyme.com. You can also find her at local events and locations like Painted Tree, Michael’s MakerPlace or connect with Sandie and her team on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok

🦌 Moose Sightings on the Rise

A young moose was rescued from a neighborhood in NE Colorado Springs, near Cottonwood Creek Park after wandering into the area on a particularly hot day. Wildlife officers, with help from the CSFD, safely cooled the animal down and relocated it to more natural surroundings.

This comes amid increasing sightings of moose in populated areas like Old Colorado City, a sign that the species is spreading into new parts of the state. Residents are reminded to keep dogs leashed and give moose plenty of space to avoid dangerous encounters, and to always contact wildlife officials rather than intervene on their own.

🎯 The Secret to Financial Confidence You Deserve

💡 New Energy Rates Start July 1—Here’s Why

Colorado Springs residents can expect a minor adjustment to your utility bills starting July 1, following the City Council’s approval of a new rate structure. While natural gas prices are expected to rise in the fall, Springs Utilities is lowering the electric cost adjustment to help balance the impact.

For most residential customers, this means a small change—roughly 25 cents more or less per month. The utility continues using long-term purchasing strategies and seasonal storage to minimize market fluctuations. Commercial customers may see higher increases, while some industrial users could see a decrease. Full Story

🚔 CSPD Just Made This Much Easier

If you ever need to report a crime, keep this in mind…Colorado Springs Police Department is expanding how residents can report non-emergency crimes, now offering quicker online reporting for incidents like identity theft, license plate theft, and property damage. This means less waiting and more convenience for those needing to file reports.

At the same time, CSPD is joining forces with the 988 Mental Health Hotline to better serve people experiencing a mental health crisis. Instead of waiting on an officer when there’s no immediate danger, individuals can now be directly connected to a licensed mental health provider. These thoughtful updates aim to get residents the right kind of help—faster. Full Story
