It's Monday, and I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things after Juneteenth celebrations, Pride events, and a weekend that somehow felt both three days and three minutes long.

While I'm busy convincing myself to answer emails, I've got something a little more exciting for you.

Good Day Farm just opened its new Barry Road location, and they're giving one lucky customer $5,000. From now through August 9th, every purchase earns you an entry into the giveaway. New customers can also score 20% off their first purchase.*

That’s not a bad reason to check out the new spot at 6411 NW Barry Rd.

WHERE TO GET B-DAY FREEBIES

Kansas City, this one’s for all the birthdays!!

Happy birthday to you (and yes, we mean that in the most “treat yourself all week long” kind of way).

We put together a free Birthday Guide so you don’t have to do the awkward “do you do birthday freebies?” dance at the counter. From donuts and sweet treats to movie perks and surprise discounts, this is your cheat sheet to getting spoiled all over the city.

We made this for you, now go use it like it’s your full-time job for the week.

THIS WEEK

The 10-Minute Responsible Thing

Life insurance is easy to avoid, because it’s really not that fun to think about. If given the choice, we’d prefer to use our brain power imagining a horse wearing a cowboy hat… But this needs to be done. 

Ethos makes life insurance a lot easier to deal with. You answer a few health questions online, skip the medical exam altogether, and most people get approved the same day. Every plan includes a free will, so you can knock out two of life's least fun tasks at once. Policies start around $54 a month*, and more than 500,000 families have already gotten covered through them. If people depend on you - a spouse, kids, parents, a horse wearing a cowboy hat, anyone - it’s one of the most assuredly useful things you can take care of in about 10 minutes.*

Sample rate: 10-year term $1M life policy for 40 y/o healthy, non-smoking male.
