đź“° In the news
Early heart risk detection: Broward’s Florida Panthers Preventive Heart Program has relaunched with Cleveland Clinic, now open to county residents. Eligibility will be decided case by case through the Take Heart Test — get details on the program.
First local vote in two years: Nearby Pembroke Pines and Lauderhill head to the polls March 10, with 123,146 registered voters in Pines. Lauderhill voters will weigh a $65 million bond. Absentee deadline passed February 26 — get all the details.
A flavorful new chapter: Poke I Love You will open a larger second location in nearby Plantation, offering customizable poke bowls, bubble tea, room for groups, plus Japanese ramen and Korean corn dogs — get all the details.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.
Highlights this week:

🏆 Gold and silver are heating up
Together with our sponsor American Hartford Gold
Gold just posted its strongest run in decades… and the momentum is carrying into 2026. Silver has become one of the most talked-about assets as investors look for ways to stay ahead of market volatility.
While many are still sitting on the sidelines, others are quietly repositioning.
If you’re wondering whether you’re missing something, AHG has a free guide explaining what’s driving the renewed interest… and how investors are approaching precious metals right now.
It’s free and worth reading before the next move.

🫶 We got your back
Glow-up without the fuss: Book nails, facials, brows, lashes, or makeup with The Strand Beauty Lounge, then keep the glow going with pro picks from their online shop. Consider this your midweek treat, you’ve earned a little pampering that doesn’t mean crossing town.
Local wing fix: Whether you’re craving classic Buffalo or that garlicky teriyaki Dano magic, Jersey’s Wings hits the crispy‑juicy sweet spot with big game‑day energy. Turn a low‑effort weeknight into an event, and let them handle the sauce decisions… you just show up hungry.
Members-only golf fix: If you’re a member or curious, The Club at Weston Hills offers two Robert Trent Jones Jr. designs and a polished practice setup. Slip out for a quick nine or focused range session, a midweek reset with a buddy that feels exclusive yet easy.
Thinning hair? It only gets worse: A few months ago, I noticed my ponytail getting thinner. I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, etc.) but mostly just hoped it would fix itself… until I learned that active follicles can permanently go dormant if you don’t do something about it. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn more about my favorite online options here.

đź–Ť Children’s Art Exploration Classes @ Emerald Estates Dr, Weston, FL 33331, United States | Tuesday (3/3) at 4:00 PM – Your fridge could use fresh masterpieces, and My Garage Studio has the supply. After-school classes for ages 5–12, seven kids max, with drawing, painting, mixed media, and happy “mistakes” encouraged, so they break rules on canvas, not your living room walls. Monthly spots or pay-as-you-go.
🎨 Painting With A Purpose @ Painting with a Twist | Tuesday (3/3) at 7:00 PM – Painting with a Twist in Davie is hosting a grown-ups-only paint night with the Friends of Animals Club, where your wobbly brushstrokes fund the Humane Society of Broward County. Forty bucks gets you a canvas, camaraderie, and a beverage that improves perspective.
🌳 The Art and Science of Grafting Mangoes @ Flamingo Gardens | Wednesday (3/4) at 7:00 PM – Ready to make your mango tree the talk of the block. Flamingo Gardens’ Garden Club brings Master Gardener Julieta Ross for a tour of grafting, with demos on budding, cleft, veneer, and approach, the biology behind it, and creating multi-variety cocktail trees.

🍽 Chutzpah Girls Women’s Luncheon & Exhibition @ David Posnack Jewish Community Center | Thursday (3/5) at 11:30 AM – Trade small talk for real chutzpah at the David Posnack JCC, where authors Julie Silverstein and Tami Schlossberg Pruwer lead a luncheon of stories, courage, and community.

📚 SW Ranches Community Farmers Market Book Swap @ The Cioli Group | Saturday (3/7) at 10:00 AM – If your bookshelf is starting to look like a Jenga tower, bring a few reads to the monthly book swap at the SW Ranches Farmers Market.

❤ 2026 Broward Heart Walk @ Nova Southeastern University | Sunday (3/8) at 8:00 AM – Lace up for the Broward Heart Walk, the feel-good excuse to rack up steps while funding the fight against heart disease and stroke. It’s a community thing, with dollars staying local for research and healthy living. Register, recruit your buddies, and earn brunch.
🎨 Celebrate the Arts @ Weston Town Center Park | Sunday (3/8) at 12:00 PM – Grab a lawn chair and head to Weston Town Center Park for an easy afternoon of live music, local art, and neighborly people-watching. Less gallery snob, more kids with chalk and parents with iced coffees, plus that dog who’s convinced he runs the place.

Someone Googled you this week đź‘€
It may feel like an invasion of privacy, but unfortunately It’s the new normal. Whether you’re joining a committee, selling something locally, dating again, or just meeting new neighbors… people are going to look you up online.
Like it or not, the internet has a way of surfacing past mistakes and outdated information that no longer reflects who you are.
Thankfully, there’s a really easy way for you – or someone you care about – to clean up outdated results that no longer tell the real story. Learn more here.
This house is wild
Oppenheim’s Residence O5A at Botaniko Weston spans 9,534 square feet in a 121-acre gated enclave. Six ensuite bedrooms, 8.5 baths, a media room, staff quarters, and a 4-car garage set the stage. A Sub-Zero and Wolf kitchen joins a private pool and covered terrace. Impact glass and smart-home readiness pair with A-rated schools and 46 miles of bike lanes.
