🫶 We got your back
Pizza: Port St. Lucie’s best-kept secrets are slinging pies with enough cheese pull to stop traffic at these pizza spots.
Flavors: Florida’s food scene is having a delicious identity crisis, with Cuban sandwiches bickering over salami, Greek divers trading nets for aprons, and key lime pies refusing to be green. These must-try Florida dishes prove every bite is its own adventure.
Declutter: You spend a weekend lining up matching containers only to find chaos three weeks later. These real-life proof hacks fit your messy, beautiful life, and they show how sustainable organization tips can actually stick.
Florist: In need of a last-minute gift, a romantic gesture, or just some color in your life, Flowers by Susan – Port St. Lucie Flower Delivery arranges petal-powered masterpieces that speak volumes without saying a word.
Family: 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.

This weekend

🏠️ Price is right – Port St. Lucie edition
How it works: We’re going to give you some facts about a home for sale, including a picture of the outside, the kitchen, and one additional room. Your job? Guess how much it’s listed for (preferably before you click to find out).

Soaring crown-molded ceilings and oversized doors set the stage for this 2022 Collina model, where impact-glass windows and a waterfall island steal the show. The chef’s kitchen comes loaded with double wall ovens and a wine fridge for impromptu gatherings, while the den offers a quiet escape. Step out to the screened lanai for a dip in the saltwater pool or fire up the summer kitchen, all tucked inside a private fenced yard.
PGA Verano piles on the perks with multiple pools, fitness centers, and a 27-court pickleball haven. Golf carts are practically required with optional PGA memberships and private cart access.
