From today’s sponsor, FinanceBuzz: Many Florida drivers end up paying higher auto insurance premiums because they don’t shop around enough. The same driver with the same car can get wildly different quotes from different insurers, so it truly pays to compare. Their free tool makes it easy.*

📰 In the news
Coach’s quick action, lasting change: A Pasco County mom said CPR and an AED saved her 13-year-old after he collapsed during P.E. She is pushing for heart screenings and EKGs under Florida’s Second Chance Act — learn what the law requires.
An enduring local icon: Generations of locals swear by footlongs at Brooksville’s Coney Island Drive Inn, a hot dog hangout on E Jefferson Street near the Good Neighbor Trail, where memorabilia shares its story — read the full story.
From service to classroom: Former Marine Jacquelynn E. Muncy, now a Brooksville Elementary teacher, was named Hernando County School District Veteran of the Month. She served in Afghanistan and later graduated from Saint Leo — learn more about her path.
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.*
Gold & silver are hot: Last year was gold’s best year since 1979. Silver did even better, climbing nearly 150%… and analysts expect the momentum to continue. Curious about precious metal investing? GoldCo has a helpful guide that covers everything you need to know. It’s free — and definitely worth a read.*
Highlights this week:

💎 Local business spotlight
Serve and connect: Marine Corps League 708 rallies neighbors around veterans with real support and community events that feel useful, not just busy. It offers a nudge to plug in, meet good people, and build connections that last.
Skin reset, anyone? If your skin’s hinting for a refresh, Skintastic Med Spa pairs warm guidance with proven tech, from injectables and laser hair removal to skin tightening and HydraFacial-level glow. They map out realistic routines that fit real life, so your results look natural and actually last.
Elevate your midweek round: Olympus DGC turns Brooksville’s old quarry hills into a disc golf playground, with big elevation, gorgeous lines, and just enough bite to make par feel heroic. That one-more-shot feeling lingers as the sun dips and the breeze shifts, a midweek reset that sticks with you.

🫶 We got your back
Thinning hair? Don’t treat the wrong thing: When my ponytail started thinning, I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, sprays, etc.) and not one of them lasted. Turns out, most products target the strand, not the follicle… and that’s the whole problem. Once follicles go dormant, they need targeted help to come back. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn about my favorites here →
Last call for the CVS Epic Beauty Sale: Today’s your last chance to save on all sorts of self-care products at CVS, including makeup, beauty tools, skin care, hair masks, moisturizers, and more from all your favorite brands. *Shop the sale before it ends →
Paying full price is officially optional: Blu Dot just marked down dozens of their best sofas, beds, dining tables, outdoor pieces, and lighting by as much as 60%. Not because something’s wrong with them, but because every great design eventually has to make room for the next one. The deals change daily, so it’s always a new adventure. *See what’s on sale today →
Most people have no idea what’s happening inside their body: Not because the data doesn’t exist, but because no one’s collecting it. Routine annual checkups miss things like body composition, biological age, and the biomarkers that can help predict long-term patterns. The good news? HumeHealth offers tools to help you track all of that at home for less than the cost of a specialist visit. *Use code NEW20 to save 20% →
Something in your house is about to break: It might be your AC, your water heater, your fridge… doesn’t matter. Every major appliance has an expiration date, and when it goes, you’ll be staring down a repair bill that can climb into the thousands fast. An AHS home warranty covers these types of surprises + *select plans are $150 off right now →
