Good morning, Dallas! ☕
The Mavericks' season is officially in the books at 26-56, and Cooper Flagg closed his rookie year the only way this season would let him: limping off the court with a sprained ankle. Meanwhile, the Stars are absolutely locked in heading to the playoffs, and the Rangers just smacked the Dodgers around in LA like they owned the place.
Your weekend is headlined by Bruno Mars taking over Globe Life Field for back-to-back stadium shows, FoodieLand rolling into Fair Park with 250+ vendors, and SatchVai bringing Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and Animals As Leaders to Fair Park. One catch: storms are lurking Wednesday, but the back half of the week turns warm and clear.
The Key to Better aging: More NAD+
Most skincare works on the surface. Aramore goes where real aging begins: the basal layer of the skin, where new cells form. Backed by decades of research from Harvard and MIT scientists, Aramore is the first topical system designed to support skin’s NAD+ — the molecule your cells rely on for repair, energy, and resilience.
As NAD+ naturally declines with age, visible changes follow: dullness, uneven tone, fine lines, and loss of firmness. Aramore’s unique complex of NAD+ precursors, ketones, and fatty acids helps replenish cells at the source for skin that acts healthier and younger.
Clinically shown to improve tone, radiance, smoothness, and firmness as soon as 28 days.

🏆 Sports Recap
Dallas Mavericks 🏀
Season over. The Mavs finished 26-56, the worst record since 2017-18. Cooper Flagg's rookie year was historic (21.0 PPG, 5.4 RPG, 4.5 APG) and capped by a 51-point game against Orlando that made him the first teenager to ever drop 50 in an NBA game. He sprained his ankle in the finale against Chicago but should be fine long-term. The Rookie of the Year race with former Duke roommate Kon Knueppel is going to be tight. Now the focus shifts to the draft lottery and a new GM hire.
Final games:
April 12th: Beat the Chicago Bulls 149-128
April 10th: Lost to the San Antonio Spurs 139-120
April 8th: Lost to the Phoenix Suns 112-107
