📰 In the news
Home to 2 million hatchlings: Palm Beach County was crowned Florida’s Sea Turtle Capital this month, highlighting nesting March through October and conservation along 47 miles of coast, with celebrations welcoming residents in Delray Beach — see how to get involved.
Expanding access to learning: Nearby West Palm Beach received a boost for readers. A $75,000 gift from the Carole A. and Norman Barham Family Foundation will be displayed in the Children’s Story Hour Space — read the full story.
Major housing plan under review: Palm Beach County is considering redeveloping a shuttered Greenacres golf course at 6455 Jog Road into 800 homes and apartments, including 27 workforce units, pending rezoning to a planned development — 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:
|
💎 Local business spotlight
A night at the theater: Delray Beach Playhouse keeps the stage buzzing with comedies, tributes, and community productions. It’s an easy, close-to-home plan that still feels special, whether you’re sneaking out midweek or corralling friends for a weekend laugh.
Upgrade your lunch break: When the hot dog craving hits, Gourmet Killer Dogs delivers creatively topped all‑beef dogs, crispy sides, and satisfying picks for non-meat eaters. It’s the casual neighborhood spot for comfort food made with care, not shortcuts.
Quiet plan for this week: Bookwise has anchored Boca Raton’s readers since 1992, a comfy sprawl of used finds, odd gems, and staff picks that actually stick. It starts with that “one” novel and ends with a mini stack and a grin, proof that browsing still outsmarts algorithms.

🫶 We got your back
Your data is for sale right now: There are over 400 websites selling your info to marketers, political campaigns, and scammers. They’ve got your phone number, home address, relatives’ names… you name it. That’s how robocallers seem to know everything about you before you pick up. You can remove your info one site at a time, or pay a service to do it for you. Here’s what we recommend →
Why your last diet didn’t work: Sustained weight loss is nearly impossible with diet alone. Your body literally fights back by making you hungrier the moment you start restricting calories. That’s why more doctors are recommending GLP-1s. The best part? Getting them has never been easier. We compared three programs to help you find the right fit. See which ones stood out →
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 →
Six figures you can’t spend: Most homeowners over 50 have spent years dutifully paying their mortgage, assuming the only time it’ll pay off is when they sell. I thought the same thing until I discovered you can tap into the equity you’ve earned whenever you want (without leaving your home). Overdue for a new roof? Want to build your dream bathroom? There are two ways to turn equity into usable cash →
