Happy weekend, Plymouth!Â
In today’s happening-today edition: New England museums shine, Sip & Stroll, The High Kings, and more. + events worth checking out today & tomorrow.
From today’s sponsor, FinanceBuzz: Many Massachusetts drivers end up paying higher auto insurance premiums because they don’t shop around enough. The same driver with the same car can get wildly different quotes from different insurers, so it truly pays to compare. Their free tool makes it easy.*

đź“° In the news
New England museums shine: In February, USA Today readers named Plymouth’s Plimoth Patuxet Museums the nation’s best open-air museum, with Old Sturbridge Village and Concord Museum also earning top spots — see the full rankings.
Hidden dangers on winter ice: After a Massachusetts tragedy, Plymouth Fire Department reminds residents to stay off frozen ponds and coastal waters. Crews recently rescued a dog at Little Long Pond, underscoring unpredictable ice — get essential ice safety tips.
Lease deal could shift control: Plymouth received over $1 million in state earmarks, backing Spooner’s Alley redevelopment, a veterans center van, and planning for a veterans home, with support for a summer ferry to Boston — see what projects are funded.
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.*
Gold & silver are hot: Last year was gold’s best year since 1979. Silver did even better, climbing nearly 150%… and analysts expect the momentum to continue. Curious about precious metal investing? GoldCo has a helpful guide that covers everything you need to know. It’s free — and definitely worth a read.*

đź’Ž Local business spotlight
Try a new kind of glow: Part med spa, part movement studio, Fountain Aesthetic and Wellness blends injectables and skin refreshers with yoga, sound healing, and aerial slings or bungee fun, then cools you down with Fire & Ice: infrared sauna plus cold plunge. Consider it your midweek energy reset, right here in town.
Subtle refresh, no stress: For a low-key tune-up that still feels like you, Fresh Medical Aesthetics offers injectables, laser services, DiamondGlow facials, and thoughtful consults, all from a nurse-practitioner-led team focused on natural results. The vibe is easygoing, the look precise and never overdone… self-care made simple.
Dial in your swing: At Pinehills Golf Academy, preseason practice actually feels fun, with PGA pros, private coaching, and relaxed group clinics tailored to your swing. After a quick tune-up, you’ll roll into spring hitting fairways instead of foraging for balls.
These aren’t ads or sponsored placements, just some cool nearby spots we think are worth a visit.

🫶 We got your back
Thinning hair? Don’t treat the wrong thing: When my ponytail started thinning, I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, sprays, etc.) and not one of them lasted. Turns out, most products target the strand, not the follicle… and that’s the whole problem. Once follicles go dormant, they need targeted help to come back. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn about my favorites here →
Last call for the CVS Epic Beauty Sale: Today’s your last chance to save on all sorts of self-care products at CVS, including makeup, beauty tools, skin care, hair masks, moisturizers, and more from all your favorite brands. *Shop the sale before it ends →
Paying full price is officially optional: Blu Dot just marked down dozens of their best sofas, beds, dining tables, outdoor pieces, and lighting by as much as 60%. Not because something’s wrong with them, but because every great design eventually has to make room for the next one. The deals change daily, so it’s always a new adventure. *See what’s on sale today →
Most people have no idea what’s happening inside their body: Not because the data doesn’t exist, but because no one’s collecting it. Routine annual checkups miss things like body composition, biological age, and the biomarkers that can help predict long-term patterns. The good news? HumeHealth offers tools to help you track all of that at home for less than the cost of a specialist visit. *Use code NEW20 to save 20% →
Something in your house is about to break: It might be your AC, your water heater, your fridge… doesn’t matter. Every major appliance has an expiration date, and when it goes, you’ll be staring down a repair bill that can climb into the thousands fast. An AHS home warranty covers these types of surprises + *select plans are $150 off right now →
