It’s Friday, Wellington! Let’s finish this week strong.

In today’s can’t-miss-weekend-plans edition: Hidden local lore book by Amy Woods, Galeon 520 fly premiere, and style for hope luncheon with Stacy London + a stacked lineup of events this weekend.

Today’s sponsor (FinanceBuzz) built a free comparison tool that helped me cut my car insurance premiums in half. It took about 3 minutes, and honestly… I wish I’d done it sooner. If you haven’t shopped around in a while, you can easily check the best rates here.

📰 In the news

Uncovering overlooked local tales: Local journalist Amy Woods has a new book, Secret Palm Beach, revealing weird and wonderful county lore. After a February launch, more signings and talks are planned across the county — read the full story.

Calming care hub debuts: Beachway Therapy Center will launch the Beachway Holistic Wellness Center in downtown West Palm Beach, adding Zen-inspired gardens, sound healing, body-based trauma therapies, and mindfulness to expand trauma-informed, whole-person care — get all the details.

Refined European yacht craftsmanship: Galeon’s 520 FLY will debut this month at Palm Beach International Boat Show in West Palm Beach, featuring drop down wings and an Amber interior at Galeon and MarineMax’s display — read about the world premiere.

Gold & silver are hot: Coming off gold’s best year since 1979, the momentum is carrying well into 2026 with silver remaining one of the most talked-about assets. Curious why they’re back in focus? American Hartford Gold has a free guide that explains what’s happening and how people are approaching it today. It’s free – and definitely worth a read.

Someone Googled you this week: Whether you’re dating again, selling something locally, or just meeting new neighbors… people are going to look you up. Like it or not, the internet has a way of surfacing past mistakes and outdated information that no longer reflects who you are.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 all that up – learn more here.

Highlights this week:

• Ladies sip and swing at The Nash
• Hear fingerstyle virtuoso Richard Smith live
• Style for Hope Luncheon with Stacy London
• Over 62? See how to turn home equity into tax-free cash

🚗 Are you quietly overpaying for car insurance?

Together with our sponsor FinanceBuzz

Auto insurance premiums have been climbing across the country… and most folks won’t notice until it’s time to renew and they’re hit with a higher bill.

The frustrating part? Loyalty rarely gets rewarded. Insurers adjust prices constantly, and new customers often qualify for better rates than long-time policyholders.

I learned that the hard way. I had the same policy for half a decade. Autopay was on, I saw the charges come in every month and never thought twice about them. Turns out I was paying well above the national average ($175/mo) for a single car… for years.

This free comparison tool lets you check rates from multiple insurers in just a few minutes. It costs nothing to look, and it could save you hundreds this year.

🫶 We got your back

Plant-based island vibes: Natuurlik dishes fully vegan, Caribbean-inspired comfort: jerk or curried jackfruit, hearty burgers, stews, and fresh juices, made daily with local organic ingredients. Low-key and welcoming, it hits for weeknights or a relaxed lunch… big flavor, zero fuss.

Treasure-hunting upgrade: Craving a touch of grown-up Palm Beach? Kofski Antiques sources character-rich antique furniture, art, and decor, with fresh finds arriving regularly online, making it easy to skip the doomscrolling. Take this as your cue to replace that placeholder console or side chair with the real deal.

Wake up ready, shine on: Skip the daily brow battle with Maybelle Beauty Bar, where powder brows, lip blush, and other permanent makeup look like you on a great day. Add a clasp-less welded bracelet if you’re feeling sparkly. It’s appointment-only.

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.
