Your Fall Glow-Up: Two Drinks for Hydrated, Plump-Looking Skin
Cooler weather can leave skin looking dull and feeling dry. Pique’s Radiant Skin Duo brings a beauty upgrade to your fall routine: two delicious daily drinks that support hydrated, plump, luminous-looking skin from within.
Start with creamy, organic Sun Goddess Matcha, packed with antioxidants that support healthy-looking skin. Then sip B·T Fountain, a refreshing beauty electrolyte combining clinically studied ceramides, hyaluronic acid and electrolytes to support hydration and a dewy glow.
The beauty benefits come with impressive clinical evidence. In a clinical trial of B·T Fountain’s ceramides, skin hydration improved 25% by day 15. By day 60, hydration improved 37%, elasticity improved 36% and wrinkle depth decreased 8.2%.
Morning matcha. Afternoon beauty hydration. An easy ritual that fits into busy fall days while supporting skin that looks smoother and feels replenished. Your favorite daily drinks become a simple skincare habit worth keep

🚒 Please Don't Drive Over Fire Hoses
Courtesy CSFD
On Sunday, drivers ran over fire hoses at two separate fires in Colorado Springs, and the Colorado Springs Fire Department is asking all of us to please stop. A damaged hose can slow crews down, create safety hazards and, as CSFD Lt. explained, even delay rescue efforts inside a burning home.
It's costly too. Outfitting one fire engine with a full bed of hose runs about $27,000. If you come across a hose stretched across the road, turn around, find another route and give crews room to work.

🧛♀️ Trivia: The Unexpected Journey From Ivywild to Hollywood
Do you remember the sultry, wise-cracking Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, who dominated pop culture in the 1980s? Before she became a horror icon, Cassandra Peterson, the woman behind Elvira, was just another Colorado Springs teenager with big dreams. She attended Ivywild Elementary and later graduated from Palmer High School in the early 1960s, where her flair for the dramatic first took root.
Raised in a family deeply involved with costumes, thanks to her aunts’ costume shop, Peterson's Partyland, on S Tejon in the historic Ivywild neighborhood. Cassandra was no stranger to dressing up and embracing bold characters. After high school, she followed her dreams to Las Vegas to become a showgirl—a winding and bumpy journey that would eventually lead her toward her famous persona, Elvira. *Source
🎭 Early on, which famous celebrity did Cassandra Peterson (Elvira) go on a date with, who gave her career-changing advice that led her to leave Las Vegas and pursue new opportunities?
