đź“° Most-clicked stories this week
Intimate, upscale tasting experience: Mino Omakase is set to open in Boca Raton this month, offering a quasi members-only experience with a 10-seat omakase bar, a lounge, and Chef J.M. Canales at the helm — get all the details.
What’s changing and why: Boca Raton’s CRA unanimously approved updates to the Royal Palm Place hotel, cutting rooms to 137 and scrapping underground parking, with a seven story garage plus ground floor shops and dining — read the full story.
Neighborhood cafe buzz builds: Sweet news for west Boca as Beignets & Brew plans to open at Polo Shoppes, with permits filed and the opening date unannounced, promising sugar-dusted beignets and specialty coffee — read the full story.
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.

🏆 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.

🫶 This week’s top finds
Weekend treasure hunt: If your closet craves throwback personality, Thrift Sh!t Vintage curates the good stuff, vintage tees, Levi’s, Carhartt, and Y2K gems, without the chaos. It’s a cozy, locals-first hangout where “just browsing” somehow becomes finding your new everyday staple.
Crispy wing craving? When that must-eat-now mood hits, Whistle Stop delivers hot, crispy, saucy wings that pair perfectly with a cold one and the game. It’s the Boca staple you almost forget about until someone suggests it, and suddenly you remember exactly why you keep going back.
Treasure-hunt, upgraded: Craving a refresh? A Summer Place Consignments mixes vintage furniture, art glass, pottery, crystal, porcelain, and quirky one-off dĂ©cor across a sprawling showroom. Wander, spot the piece you didn’t know you needed… and let it be the one that follows you home.
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 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.
