Glass Skin Goals? Meet Your Morning Upgrade
Glass skin is the fall beauty goal: a complexion that looks smooth, plump and luminous. Piqueβs Carrara Marine Collagen makes supporting that glow a delicious part of your morning routine.
After 90 days on Carrara, 83% reported smoother skin, 80% reported plumper skin and 86% reported greater skin satisfaction.
Each serving combines Type I marine collagen to support skin radiance with rare Type II collagen, sourced from wild Hokkaido salmon, to support elasticity. Together, they bring skin support into a daily ritual that feels like a treat.
Two scoops blend into morning matcha for a creamy latte, making consistency easy as fall schedules fill up. A warm cup, a quiet moment and nourishment from within become part of the same routine.
For anyone pursuing that luminous glass-skin look through sweater season, Carrara adds a beauty upgrade to a habit they already love.

πΊπΈ Veterans Day Thank-You Deals
Wednesday, Nov 11 is Veterans Day, and plenty of spots with Colorado Springs locations are saying thank you with free meals and discounts. If you served, this one is for you. And if you love someone who did, forward this their way.
Most offers need proof of service (military ID, VA card or DD-214), many are dine-in only, and participation varies by location, so a quick call ahead never hurts:
Breakfast: a free Grand Slam at Denny's (5am to noon)
Lunch & dinner: a free entrΓ©e from a select menu at participating Chili's, a free signature burger with bottomless fries at Red Robin, and a free buffet at Golden Corral's Military Appreciation Night
A fresh cut: a free haircut at Great Clips (and you can ask for a free haircut card to pass along to another veteran)
Shopping: 20% off one purchase at Target through Nov 11 for Target Circle members, and 20% off eligible regular-priced items in-store at Walgreens Full Story
Close to home: the Pikes Peak Workforce Center's Community & Veterans Job Fair is this Tuesday, Nov 10, from 10am to 2pm at the Colorado Springs Event Center (3960 Palmer Park Blvd). Veterans, military spouses and anyone looking for work are welcome.
Heads up: Veterans Day is a federal holiday, so post offices and banks are closed Wednesday and there's no regular mail delivery.
𧳠Your Mini Vacation Awaits
Trade the daily grind for the crisp, alpine peaks of Breckenridge or the sunset-soaked charm of Santa Fe. Grab your spot before itβs gone!
π Downtown Lights Up the Holidays This Friday
Courtesy of Downtown Colorado Springs
The holiday season officially kicks off downtown this Friday, Nov 13, and it's just the kind of evening that gets you in the spirit. Bring the grandkids, a friend or a thermos of cocoa. Here's what's happening:
Community Caroling & Tree Lighting - FREE (Fri, Nov 13): sing along with the Soli Deo Gloria Choir at the Acacia Park bandshell from 5 to 5:45pm, then watch the big tree light up at 6pm
Skate in the Park - $13-$15 (opens Fri, Nov 13 at 4pm): the outdoor ice rink is back in Acacia Park through Jan 31. $15 includes skates, $2 off for active-duty military and first responders, and kids 4 and under skate free with a paid adult. Tickets are sold onsite only, and hours vary, so check the rink schedule before you go
Character Stroll - FREE (Sat, Nov 14): photos with Santa, the Grinch, Buddy the Elf, Elsa & Anna in Acacia Park from 11am to 1pm (be in line by 12:45), then they stroll Tejon and Bijou from 1 to 3pm. Pick up a free Holiday Coupon Book at the Downtown table while they last
Shop Local + Win Local (now through Dec 13): every $50 you spend at participating downtown shops earns you an entry to win
Planning your holiday shopping? Downtown meters are free on Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Small Business Saturday (Nov 26 to 28), and city garages are always free on Sundays. Find all the times and details on the Downtown holidays page. Heading up to Manitou Springs instead? Parking there is free all day Nov 27 and 28 too. Full Story
π¨ Helping Local Artists Stay Put
Downtown rent isn't easy on anyone, and it can be the thing that pushes a working artist out of the studio for good. Clay, who owns The Look Up Gallery and Yobel downtown, decided to do something about it.
His nonprofit, PRIMER, is now in its second year of helping the 30-plus artists who work in the gallery. The goal is to cut their rent in half, and it takes about $60,000 to cover everyone for a full year.
Here's the sweet part: Clay is hoping 1,000 of us will each give $25 by the end of the year. Want to help, or just meet the artists? Stop by during the monthly First Friday Art Walk, and you might find a one-of-a-kind holiday gift while you're there. Full Story
