📰 In the news
Inside the shoreline strategy: Palm Beach’s beaches have been gaining sand, a town consultant said, with millions of cubic yards added since 1990 and wider shorelines, even as recent Midtown losses track within forecasts — see how the plan works.
Viewer question prompts action: Renovations will begin Jan. 28 at Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control, funded by surtax funds and bonds approved by commissioners, after questions about the timeline and changes — see when work begins.
Florida’s fight against breast cancer: Susan G. Komen’s More Than Pink Walk will return to West Palm Beach on Jan. 31, aiming to raise $540,000 for research and patient support, bringing together survivors and families — see how to get involved.
Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175 per 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.
Gold & silver are hot: Gold just had its best year since 1979. Silver did even better, climbing nearly 150% in 2025… and analysts expect the momentum to continue. If you’re curious about adding precious metals to your portfolio as a market hedge, American Hartford has a helpful guide that covers everything you need to know. It’s free — and definitely worth a read.

Highlights this week:

🫶 We got your back
Signs of a new regime: The Washington Nationals’ new Minor League development camp opens today in West Palm Beach and runs until Spring Training. About 60 prospects, including the 2025 draft class, will train nearby as part of a revamped development push, with advanced Trajekt machines helping hitters prepare for opposing pitchers. Get all the details.
Coastal-chic shoe fix: From beach-friendly slides to dressy sandals and those “I can actually walk in these” wedges, Juno Shoe Girl nails the Jupiter vibe with curated shoes, playful accessories, and easy apparel. Ideal for a quick midweek refresh when your closet could use a little sunshine.
Fresh pints, zero fuss: Craving an easy hang with reliably great beer? Civil Society Brewing Co. keeps taps lively with hoppy favorites, rotates cans to go, and serves pizza when you want a slice with your IPA. It’s the dependable meet-up spot when friends text, “where are we meeting?”
A new haircare solution: My hair’s been thinning and I’ve been quietly ignoring it, hoping it’ll fix itself. Plot twist… it hasn’t. When I finally started looking into what I should do, there were so many options I didn’t know where to start. I stumbled on Keranique, and its simplicity really sold me. One kit, no pills, no choosing products, and no confusion whatsoever. It’s also on sale with a money-back guarantee (although I doubt you’ll need it).
An emergency vet visit could cost you $7,000+ (ask me how I know 🙃). From the initial fee just to be seen to x-rays, surgery, medicine, and aftercare, it adds up quicker than a chew toy turns into a crime scene. The good news? You could get up to 90% cash back on your vet bill with this pet insurance plan.
