It's Here: Pique's New Caffeine-Free Afternoon Energy
I quit my afternoon coffee. Not because I wanted to — because I found something better.
You know that wall you hit every day around 2–3 PM? I used to just accept it as the cost of doing anything. Another coffee, a quick spike, then the crash — and somehow I'd still feel dehydrated by dinner.
Then I tried X·E Fountain, Pique's brand-new electrolyte energy drink, and I genuinely wasn't ready for how good "no crash" could feel.
No caffeine jitters. No 4 PM slump. Just clean, steady energy that actually hydrates me instead of draining me. It's built with a premium Vitamin B Complex for natural cellular energy, Magnesium Malate + Taurate for real focus, and a full electrolyte blend that makes it feel like a treat, not a chore.
The cucumber-celery-lime flavor is so crisp and refreshing — it's basically stolen my afternoon coffee slot completely.
One Question. One Vote. Highland Decides
Check back next Thursday for the winner.

Spirit Halloween Pops Up in Highland
Halloween season has officially crept into Highland, with Spirit Halloween now open at Highland Grove Shopping Center, 10229 Indianapolis Blvd.
The seasonal shop is packed with costumes for kids and adults, spooky yard decorations, props, animatronics, and plenty of last-minute trick-or-treat inspiration. This year’s displays include a creepy camp-themed setup along with costumes tied to popular movies, games, and classic Halloween favorites.
If you like turning your yard into a mini haunted house, this is also the place to find fog machines, tombstones, and other spooky extras. Like always, the store will disappear shortly after Halloween so if you want to browse before the good stuff gets picked over, now’s the time.
Talk soon,
