📰 In the news
Opportunities for young creators: The Coral Springs Craft Guild is offering three student art scholarships to local high school seniors, with $1,000 and $500 awards available. Applications are due April 22, 2026 — see how and when to apply.
Community effort for cleaner waters: The 2026 Broward Waterway Cleanup will take place Saturday, March 7 at Riverside Park in Coral Springs. Students can earn service hours, and volunteers can purchase T-shirts and gear — see how to get involved.
Big day for legal careers: Over 60 employers will gather March 6 at Broward County Convention Center for the Florida Bar YLD’s first Job and Resource Fair, offering interviews and networking for new attorneys — get all the event 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.
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:

🏆 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
Twirl-worthy pasta plans: When a carb craving hits, Eddie and Vinny’s answers with fresh pasta, coastal-Italian comfort, and weeknight cheer. Think silky sauces, generous bowls, and a room that hums…the kind that invites a second glass and zero guilt.
Feel-good closet refresh: Love secondhand scores? Blooming Sales Thrift Store offers stylish pre-loved pieces that fund Women In Distress programs, turning treasure hunts into real community impact. Refresh your wardrobe, feel good about it, and snag finds that look sharp while helping neighbors. Guilt-free shopping, zero pretense.
Your next cold reset: Whether you’re chasing faster recovery or unkinking from desk marathons, Hopson Health Wellness Center offers invigorating cryotherapy. Pair it with red light, sauna, or compression boots for a quick, head-to-toe reset that lasts all week.
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.
This house is wild
Set in gated Venetian Isle with security guards, this stunner pairs peace of mind with polish, from high-impact windows and doors and a newer roof to a white kitchen with a quartz island and stainless appliances. Primary and guest bedrooms are downstairs. Three bedrooms and two baths sit up top. A saltwater pool, spa, and interior patio steal the show.
