📰 Most-clicked stories this week
Airline expands Northeast options: Breeze Airways announced new Myrtle Beach routes to Pittsburgh and Portland, Maine, adding a nonstop to Pittsburgh and a one-stop BreezeThru from Portland, plus more weekly flights to Islip — see new routes and frequencies.
Reviving a seaside landmark: City officials are exploring a new ride and entertainment hub at the former Myrtle Beach Pavilion site, empty since 2006. Carolina Country Music Fest stays, but no timeline announced — see what’s being considered.
Campus connection becomes forever home: After 608 days at the Horry County Animal Care Center, Danica has been adopted by a Coastal Carolina University student she met through Doggy Day Out, bringing cheers from staff — read the heartwarming adoption story.
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.
Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.

🏆 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.

🫶 This week’s top finds
Treasure-hunt wardrobe fix: Whether you’re editing your closet or hunting that “how is this only here?” piece, Finders Keepers Consignment & Boutique keeps racks in constant rotation with pre-loved staples, standout one-offs, and serendipity. Fresh drops mingle with classics, so every visit feels like a little score, not a scroll.
Rain-proof treasure hunt: For a low-stakes browse that turns into the find of the week, Everything Under The Sun Flea Market comes through with climate-controlled aisles, vintage oddities, antiques, and goods from local makers under one roof. Wander, linger, and let serendipity nudge your next home upgrade.
Fresh pasta, for real: Portofino Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar turns out handmade tortelloni, pappardelle, and manicotti with warm house-baked focaccia and a bright pesto that steals the spotlight. When you want pasta without fuss, this place delivers cozy, coastal-Italian comfort, the kind that feels like a seaside Sunday.
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.
Most popular house this week
This 5-bed, 4.5-bath new build on .93 acres in Dunes Cove sits east of 17, a short golf cart ride to the ocean. A grand curved staircase and an open great room with three French doors anchor a chef’s kitchen with views of dual fireplaces. Six-car courtyard-entry garages plus a golf cart bay, pool and spa, and outdoor kitchen shine.
