đź“° In the news
Designer’s show house debut: Justin Moreland designs the entry for the Kips Bay Decorator Show House in West Palm Beach, open for tours through March 24 and supporting Boys and Girls Clubs — get all the details.
Soaring demand fuels growth: Palm Tree Crew signed a four-year deal with West Palm Beach to keep Palm Tree Festival here for the next four years after a record 11,000 attended recently — read the full story.
Major push for talent pipeline: Palm Beach State College received nearly $5 million to launch Florida’s first quantum workforce training center, creating a certification program to grow high-tech skills and jobs across Palm Beach County — 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.
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
Your closet’s time machine: Kismet Vintage nails the sweet spot of now and nostalgia, with easy tees, standout jackets, and compliment-magnet accessories. The shop’s creative, low-pressure vibe makes browsing half the fun. Consider this your gentle nudge to refresh your look, no stress required.
Twirl-worthy pasta plans: When the carb craving hits, Elisabetta’s Ristorante delivers: cacio e pepe, tagliarini al limone, rigatoni alla bolognese, and linguine con vongole… classics that taste like midweek comfort without fuss. Think saucy, twirlable bowls that feel just right after a long day.
Cool, quick reset: MedHouse delivers a three-minute cryotherapy session that sparks energy, eases post-workout soreness, and clears your head when the week hits like leg day. For added recovery, pair it with Normatec compression or red light… you’ll feel like you did something good for yourself.
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.
This house is wild
This newly built 4-bed, 4.5-bath Colonial by Smith Kellogg Architecture in SoSo sits 1.5 blocks from the Intracoastal. Spanning 5,278 sqft, it features white oak floors, a Thermador kitchen with built-in coffee, and a wet bar with wine and beverage fridges. A main-level suite joins three ensuite bedrooms upstairs. Outside, a Jandy-controlled saltwater pool, loggia, pergola, and brick terrace.
