🏆 Most popular this week
Curated by popular demand — here are this week’s most-clicked events, local spots, and stories.

Updates affecting care and coverage: Three new Florida laws took effect January 1, changing health care costs for breast exams and regulating pet insurance and marketing after a year with more than 250 bills signed — get all the details.
Supercar Week Waterfront Finale @ West Palm Beach Lake Pavilion | Sunday (1/11) at 11:00 AM – If you’ve wondered what a million bucks sounds like idling, the Supercar Week Waterfront Finale lines Flagler with exotics, classics, and a full race village. It’s free, family friendly, and yes, the VIP brunch sells out, so act like a local and plan ahead — see the event listing.
Are you overpaying? The national average for car insurance is around $175 per month. I was paying over $300 for ONE car until I checked out various quotes, switched providers, and ultimately cut my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably losing money too — this free comparison tool makes it easy.
Gold & silver are hot: Gold just had it’s 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.
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).
