📰 In the news
Green gains and safety strides: Naples Airport released its 2025 annual report, noting FAA-approved flight paths, sustainability awards, Sustainable Aviation Fuel at 20% of sales, and a new app for noise complaints — get all the report highlights.
Temporary measures for visitor safety: Lee County’s Dog Beach Park is closed today, March 2, the final day of a planned two-day closure for erosion repairs and entrance improvements, and the schedule is weather dependent — read the full story.
A simpler way to remodel: Kiba Studios has opened its first Southwest Florida location at Taylor Carpet One in Bonita Springs, offering cabinetry, flooring, lighting, plumbing, and brands like Moen and Silestone — get all the 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.

🏆 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
Crave-worthy charred wings: South Street’s jumbo chargrilled Street Wings, in honey garlic, mild, or hot, deliver that smoky-saucy crave you swear you’ll share but won’t. Bring a friend, split a pie, call it a weeknight win… and leave already plotting the next excuse for more wings.
Stock up smarter: When your shampoo taps out the same day you vow ‘new hair, new me,’ A2Z Beauty Supply comes through with shelves of hair, nail, and skincare essentials, plus handy last-minute fixes that turn a basic restock into a small self-care win.
Weekend tee time pick: If you crave smooth greens, upbeat starter vibes, and just enough water to make you second-guess a club, ArrowHead Golf Club hits the sweet spot. Ideal for a late-afternoon loop with the crew, the kind that undoes whatever your inbox did to you.
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.

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.
