TOGETHER WITH

☔️ Happy Thursday ☔️ 

How fun it’s been this week to cozy up with the candles flickering, windows open, and the sound of rain dancing on the patio…

I wasn’t prepared for the chilly temps (59 degrees!!! Brrrr!!!) and found myself digging in the back of my closet for long sleeves. And, then later that same night, forgot it’s now ‘winter,’ went to Costco in a t-shirt, and got drenched.

But we Arizonians are tough cookies, and we’re not going to let a little rain stop us (just remember your umbrella). There is so much happening between now and the end of the year, so be sure to check out the event calendar every week so you don’t miss a thing! That’s actually why I created The Buzz in the first place!

Now let’s get into it, 🐝-cause….

The more you know, the more you go!

🎻 Add a Touch of Elegance to Your Holiday Gathering

Nuria Gamboa | Musician & Teacher

✨ Add a little holiday magic with live violin by the incredible Music by Nuria ✨

Imagine your guests walking in, the glow of twinkly lights, the smell of cinnamon and pine… and then the first sweet notes of a live violin floating through the air. That’s the unforgettable vibe Music by Nuria creates. Whether it’s the more heartfelt “O Holy Night,” a playful “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” or even that one random song your cousin begs for, Nuria can do it all (classical elegance, holiday classics, today’s hits… you name it).

Perfect for:

  • Company holiday parties

  • Intimate family gatherings

  • Cocktail hours & dinners

  • Tree-lighting ceremonies

  • Open house

  • Proposal surprises (yes, she’s done those too!)

Sticking with the same home insurance could cost you

Home insurance costs are rising fast, up nearly 40% nationwide in just the past few years. With premiums changing constantly, sticking with the same provider could mean overpaying by hundreds of dollars. Shopping around and comparing multiple insurers can help lock in better rates without losing the protection your home needs. Check out Money’s home insurance tool to shop around and see if you can save.
