📰 In the news
Spring blooms and arts highlights: Azaleas start bursting across Savannah this month, from Forsyth Park to historic squares. Gallerist Susan Laney shares viewing spots, and the Savannah Music Festival will host concerts in late March — read the full story.
Inside Savannah schools staffing turnaround: Savannah-Chatham schools have cut teacher vacancies to 2.2% amid a retention push, citing leadership development, stronger employee voice, career pathways, and pay improvements, with 61 positions still open — see the strategies driving progress.
Immersive ocean learning hub: After a $1 million renovation, Savannah’s Gray’s Reef Ocean Discovery Center has reopened with virtual reality experiences and reef replicas. A Saturday, February 28 block party celebrated the reopening — see what’s inside the center.
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.
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
Unconventional wing fix: Treylor Park slings PB&J chicken wings that sound bonkers but taste brilliant: sweet, nutty, a little peachy. Expect other playful plates, clever twists, and a chill, weeknight-friendly vibe when you want fun without the fuss.
Makeup made easy: Skip the endless scroll and find your fit at Lalka Beauty Co.a Savannah boutique where pro-curated skincare and makeup come with real-life advice. Quick makeup appointments and smart picks (hello, Korean and French staples) help refresh your bag without guesswork.
Fairways with river views: Treat yourself to a round at The Club at Savannah Harbor. Skyline vistas, Lowcountry breezes, and tidal-wetland routing make it equal parts soothing and slyly challenging. Ideal for a midweek reset when the only meetings on your calendar involve wedges, putts, and a grin.
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 👀
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.
