📰 In the news
County earns wellness honor: Palm Beach County ranked fifth among Florida’s large employers on the 2025 Healthiest Employers list, recognized for its innovative programs supporting employee well-being and flexibility — read the full story.
Spotlight on local biodiversity: More than 250 participants logged over 2,000 observations and identified 750 species during Palm Beach County’s Parks for Pollinators BioBlitz, highlighting community support for native habitats — learn more here.
Airport milestone reached: Palm Beach International Airport marked the topping out of its $141 million Concourse B expansion, a major step toward adding gates, amenities and improved passenger flow by 2027 — see what’s planned.
Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175 per month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.

Juice, bowls, and poke in Jupiter since 2014
When your fridge is 90% condiments, Modern Juice Company in Jupiter delivers. Local since 2014, they blend fresh juices, smoothies, and thick blended bowls with no added sugar, letting honey or agave provide the sweetness.
Everything is customizable to fit your vibe. Add boosters, swap bases, or choose dairy‑free options without the runaround.
Not in a sipping mood? Order made‑to‑order açaí or green bowls, or Hawaiian‑style poke with tuna, salmon, or tofu. Resetting after a busy week? Their juice cleanses are built to order with a 24‑hour heads‑up.
Bonus: the shop doubles as a rotating gallery for local artists, so there is always something fresh to see. Positive vibes make healthy feel easy, and it’s worth a stop this week at Modern Juice Company for your next pick‑me‑up.

🫶 We got your back
Sweet grand opening alert: Van Leeuwen Ice Cream is celebrating its new Palm Beach Gardens shop on October 23 with $1 scoops from 1 to 3 p.m. The spot features playful flavors like Honeycomb, BIGFACE Coffee Affogato, and a Florida-only Key Lime Pie. Regular hours run until midnight on weekends. Get the scoop here.
Run for a cause: The Semper Fi Turkey Trot 5K returns to Royal Palm Beach Commons Park on November 23, raising funds to rescue shelter dogs and train them as service animals for veterans in need. Expect festive outfits, live music, vendors, and plenty of pups at the finish line. Learn how to take part.
Fall fun, no fuss: From bounce-house energy to pumpkin painting and actually-postable photo ops, Pumpkin Towne makes autumn easy. Pick a pie pumpkin, a carving classic, or a quirky heirloom, then let the kids run wild with lawn games while you pretend it’s sweater weather.
An emergency vet visit could cost you $7,000+ (ask me how I know 🙃). From the initial fee just to be seen to x-rays, surgery, medicine, and aftercare, it adds up quicker than a chew toy turns into a crime scene. The good news? You could get up to 90% cash back on your vet bill with this pet insurance plan.
Break up with debt for good: These guys can help you cut ties, pay up to 30% less than you owe, and finally get some peace. This isn’t your average debt relief advice… it’s a financial fresh start, complete with a victory dance and happy cry or two when your balance hits zero.

🏠️ This house is wild
Listed by: Robert Thomson (Waterfront Properties & Club C)
On the Intracoastal’s blue water with direct ocean access, no fixed bridges, and a rare sandy-bottom private beach. Swim, paddleboard, or anchor a fleet, there is room for multiple watercraft and front-row boat watching.
Built in 2021 and fully furnished, this contemporary compound mixes escape and entertainment. Two separate guest retreats each offer a kitchen, living room, bedroom, and full bath, ideal for VIP privacy. Two generous main-floor bedrooms set the tone, while the expansive primary suite adds a sitting room with wet bar. Part resort, part playground.
