đź“° Most-clicked stories this week
New gateway to global network: American Airlines has begun daily nonstop flights from Vero Beach to Charlotte, giving Treasure Coast travelers access to American’s Charlotte hub and one stop connections, complementing JetBlue’s Boston service — get all the details.
More care options for veterans: Vero Beach’s new Indian River VA Clinic will begin a phased opening this month, offering therapy and chiropractic care first, with more specialties to follow and an April open house — get timeline and services details.
Roadside painters’ enduring legacy: The Florida Highwaymen Museum in Fort Pierce is now open, celebrating 26 trailblazing African American artists with a permanent gallery of Florida landscapes, including one painting from each artist — learn more about their legacy.
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
Swap fast fashion for history: Craving character? The Clothing Warehouse stocks vintage tees, classic Levi’s and Wrangler, cowboy boots, and accessories, sourced from the ’50s through the ’80s. Expect one-of-a-kind pieces that feel like you, from perfectly faded denim to lived-in graphics.
Burger break, sorted: When the craving kicks in, Casey’s Place delivers juicy, char-grilled burgers, an easygoing patio, and that unmistakable Vero vibe on a plate. A low-key lunch that feels like a local secret, the kind you remember long after the last bite.
Tapas plans, solved: Spritz City Bistro covers your grazing game with tapas: crackling calamari, crostini you might hog, charcuterie boards, and shareable small plates, plus well-made cocktails and an easy downtown vibe that makes weeknights feel like a treat.
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.
