This week, I’m recapping my 🎰Vegas🍹 adventure—think over-the-top glam, a little chaos, and a rockin’ night with Cheap Trick. 🎸🏁

Back in Simi, we’re trading slot machines for small-town fun with ArtsFest, Junk in the Trunk, and the Fishing Derby—where the only gamble is whether you actually catch something! 🎣

And of course, we’re going all-in on Aldi Finds: a magical spring Disney drop, garden goodies that are plantastic, and viral beauty buys that are totally worth the 🛒 space!

From jackpots to junk, glam to garden beds—it’s a full house this week!! ♠️♥️♣️♦️

Big headlines hit Simi Valley this week—including a federal arrest you’ll want the details on. We’re breaking it all down, plus sharing our latest Aldi finds to keep things fun. News + deals = your weekly recap, handled.

This week on Now Ya Simi, I’m sharing all about my first concert experience at The Canyon Club—was it worth the hype? Plus, we’re recapping all things Easter fun, from festive happenings to springtime vibes around town.

I also made a delicious stop at Junkyard Cafe for some serious burger bliss (you’re going to want this one on your list). And don’t miss a preview of the upcoming Simi Valley Round-Up Country Music Festival happening this weekend—LET'S GO GIRLS —dust off those boots!

Of course, we wrap it all up with everyone’s favorite: Aldi Finds that are bringing deals, steals, and maybe a few impulse buys… no judgment here!

This week I chat with Stephanie Lesh and Sandee McGee from the Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center's Young Actors Playground (aka YAP), to discuss upcoming shows, summer camps, and more!! This is a wonderful opportunity for kids aged 5-16 to learn all about how to put on a theatrical performance!

This was a great conversation and I learned so much about not only the YAP program, but also some local history and how much the SVCAC encourages community involvement in Simi Valley and the importance of the arts!!

Enjoy the engaging conversation with two wonderful women who work hard to make the magic happen!

Hollywood is heading for the hills — literally — as film crews roll into Simi Valley, bringing lights, cameras, and a boost to local business. This week, we’re covering the surprising surge in production, a heartwarming community cat rescue, major wildfire legislation that could impact how we live, and a heated debate over banning short-term rentals. Plus, a quick way to get involved locally if you’ve got opinions (and I know you do).

In the wilds of suburban retail, deep within the fluorescent glow of the middle aisle, a rare creature emerges only briefly. Shoppers pass by, unaware… but the seasoned bargain hunter knows what to look for.

Small. Mysterious. Slightly unhinged.

Yes — the elusive Aldi Labubu.

This week on Now Ya Simi, we report a possible sighting while also covering a DAR State Conference recap, local spring events, a small fire, and a very important St. Patrick’s Day reminder to celebrate responsibly.

Will the Labubus be found?

Unclear.

But the hunt continues… in the Aisle of Shame.

I’m at DAR State Conference this week, but I haven’t forgotten about yas!

A quick rundown of local news, and some great spring Aldi finds for this short episode.

I'm obviously talking about the majestic wins of Team USA in the final days of the 2026 Olympic Games!!

Aldi Finds are a plethora of "meh" this week... but maybe you'll find that diamond in the rough by listening to my tips.

Never a dill moment in Simi... tennis players are taking another game to court.

Swap, Sell, and purge your e-waste - the town is ready to help you spring clean!

Locally, the race to replace termed-out Jacqui Irwin is heating up, with Simi Valley City Councilmember Rocky Rhodes entering the 42nd Assembly District contest — a move that could create ripple effects ahead of November’s city council and mayoral elections.

In headlines and happenings: a quick Savannah Guthrie update, Olympic highlights , plus can’t-miss events like Underwood Farms’ 500,000-tulip takeover and the Reagan Library Presidents’ Day celebration.

Wrapping up with Aldi finds and a long weekend!

We have a LOT of ground to cover, and little time to do it! I even skipped the Aldi Finds this week (can ya believe it??)
