Curveture is where curvy queens get the outstanding shopping experience they deserve!

Curveture is the only exclusively plus–size thrift store in the state (check out the Fox 13 article about it), and it has been growing quickly since it opened up just last October. Check out their reviews (4.9 stars on Google) and you’ll see why. Customers love their vibe, their large selection, and their tiny prices. 😉

Lucky Laces 5K + Health Fair 👟 

They say a journey begins with a single step, but today it begins with a copious amounts of Lucky Charms!

That’s right, there will be an eating contest while people are checking in for the 5K! After the eating contest the 5K will start. Hopefully the magically delicious Lucky Charms will also magically help your stamina as well. (Carb loading 😉)

Actually the 5K is a walk, so… Anyway, after the 5K walk they will be giving out free breakfast snacks — so no need to go hungry at this one. Plus there will be vendors to check out at the health fair, and they will be giving away prizes and UP swag!

Local Business

Grapefruit & Thyme 🥧 

Amilia, a lifelong baker, turned her passion into a full-time business in 2019, specializing in wedding cakes. But when COVID hit and clients were cancelling, she pivoted to pies, both sweet and savory, because dinner was still a must! Now Amilia and Dave (dishwasher and pie-prep pro) are serving up delectable pies in their new store in Pleasant Grove, and in other locations around Utah, as well.

Each week their menu rotates (check out this week’s menu). They have frozen savory options plus 3 or 4 fresh & sweet flavors, as well. Their flavors include chicken pot pie 🐔, brisket, blackberry nectarine, peach cheesecake 🍑, and so much more!

🥧 How to get ya self a pie:

• Pre-order for pickup in Pleasant Grove

• Walk in at Lemon & Sage Market (Springville) availability varies

• By the slice (when available) at The Dessert Collective (American Fork)

• Delivered via Wasatch Milk (Salt Lake County)

🎉 And, of course, Grapefruit and Thyme will be celebrating Pi Day today — so no better time to visit their Pleasant Grove store! Discounted pocket pies, a pie eating contest, and a pie walk! More info
