Hey Delray Beach, hope your week’s off to a good start!

In today’s wallet-friendly edition: Mr. Swindle’s Peculiarium, Everglades swamp hike, and Dirty Dancing live in concert + lots of fun things to do for free.

Today’s sponsor, American Hartford Gold, is helping folks around Delray Beach protect their savings as gold and silver continue to gain momentum. Their free guide explains what’s driving the surge… and what to know before adding precious metals to your portfolio. Grab your free copy here.

📰 In the news

Quirky spectacle with devoted following: Mr. Swindle’s Peculiarium is back, Boca dates finished and the boutique striped tent now at Carlin Park in Jupiter through March 22, serving up mischief, comedy, and high-flying circus feats — get dates and ticket info.

Charity dining and family activities: Hilton West Palm Beach is rolling out March fun with a tequila pairing dinner, Mermaid Adventures, free movie nights, and full moon wellness, plus Thursdays supporting Best Buddies — check out the full lineup.

What the research found: On February 24, CX Research Institute named Creamy Flavors Boca Raton’s top ice cream shop with a 92 out of 100. Jeremiah’s Italian Ice ranked third — see how shops were scored.

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.

Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/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.

Highlights this week:

• Hike knee-deep through Everglades swamp
• Experience Dirty Dancing live in concert
• Come together at Beatles beach festival
• Save on self-care during the CVS Epic Beauty Sale

🏆 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

Pasta night, upgraded: Craving a comforting twirl? Tramonti Ristorante keeps Delray’s carb dreams alive with classic sauces, seafood-kissed specials, and an old-school Italian vibe that makes weeknights feel celebratory. Think silky pasta, bright tomatoes, and warm hospitality… a neighborhood staple that proves simple is sublime.

Curated closet refresh: If your wardrobe needs a little wow without the guilt, Second Time Around Delray, Inc.blends pre-loved designer gems with true vintage finds, all carefully curated and ready to rewear. Expect inspiration, unexpected labels, and that just-right piece you’ll swear was made for you.

A bracing reset: If your joints ache or your energy’s flat, ChillRx Delray offers whole body and localized cryo, plus recovery extras, in a clean, friendly spot that’s easy to fit into your day. A quick chill… and you walk out refreshed, oddly energized.

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.

Someone Googled you this week 👀

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.
