~ Oil prices fell sharply this week, dropping more than 5% in a single day. While that sounds like good news for drivers, don't expect gas prices in Arizona to immediately follow suit.
Gas stations are still selling fuel that was purchased, refined, and delivered before oil prices dropped. It often takes days or even weeks for lower crude oil prices to work their way through the supply chain and show up at the pump. If oil prices remain lower, drivers could see some relief later this summer, but not overnight.
~ The primary elections are right around the corner, and YourValley.net has put together an excellent voters guide to help residents stay informed on the issues which may be important to them. You can see the full guide here.

Why This Collagen Works Faster Than the Rest 🧜♀️✨
For decades, beauty has focused on quick fixes: what you put on your skin. But the most radiant glow, strongest hair, and healthiest aging begin from within.
Introducing Pique's Carrara Marine Collagen, a true breakthrough in beauty. This first-of-its-kind formula combines Type I marine collagen for visible radiance with rare Type II collagen from wild Hokkaido salmon to support deeper structural resilience. Enhanced with biotin and micronized pearl powder, Carrara helps promote smoother, more luminous skin, stronger hair and nails, and whole-body vitality.
Designed for superior absorption, you'll see results faster than with traditional collagen. Its rich coconut cream base transforms your daily routine into something indulgent. More ritual than supplement, it elevates even your morning coffee or matcha.
This is collagen, completely reimagined. Not just glow but structure. Not just results but longevity. A new foundation for beauty, built from within. 🧜♀️✨
