đź“° In the news
Resident advocacy reshapes open space: Port St. Lucie has purchased nearly 105 acres slated for homes after resident concerns. The preserve is expected to add trails, fishing, and pavilions, with grants pursued for invasive removal — get details on the new preserve.
Rail expansion plans emerge: Martin County is seeking $69.3 million in federal funding for a Brightline station in Stuart, with costs at $87.15 million, would connect Treasure Coast residents to Miami, Orlando, and Tampa — learn about costs and funding.
Rodeo highlights and ticket info: St. Lucie County Fair is underway through March 8 with agriculture exhibits, a demolition derby, and live entertainment. Dylan Gerard performs through March 3, with VIP seating available for shows — see ticket prices and hours.
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.
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
Serious wing cravings? Whether you ride mild or chase fire, Lefty’s Wings & Grill serves crisp, saucy wings in standout flavors: Chunky Garlic, Honey Garlic, and the root beer-laced Ghost Bear BBQ. Settle into the laid-back, sportsy vibe, and watch the game go down as easy as the wings.
Beauty restock, simplified: Marabou Beauty Supply stocks wigs, extensions, haircare, skincare, fragrances, nail essentials, plus the tools to make it all work, right in Port St. Lucie. Grab weekday basics or playful extras for a quick refresh, from fresh braids to a dinner-date glow-up.
Weekend golf upgrade: Skip course roulette. At PGA Golf Club, three championship tracks, a dialed-in practice facility, and plenty of variety keep your foursome smiling. Expect birdies to chase, jabs to trade, and post-round bragging rights that sort themselves out.
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.
