Dear Hive,

November is here, and Miami’s calendar is filling up. This week, we’re giving a nod to Movember and men’s health, sharing a few local finds, and looking ahead to the holidays. Our Holiday Happenings Guide arrives Tuesday, and our next Book Club gathering is just around the corner. Plus, there’s one last chance to weigh in on our Holiday Tipping Survey before it closes tomorrow. From dining discoveries to ways to give back, there’s plenty happening around the 305.

YOUR CHILD’S FUTURE DESERVES A CLOSER LOOK

Choosing a school is a big decision — let’s make it easier. At Alpha Miami, kids build academic mastery in two personalized hours a day, then spend the rest of their time on real-world life skills like leadership, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship. Curious what that actually looks like? Book a quick call with our Admissions team. Join an upcoming Open House. Stop by a Coffee & Conversation for a relaxed Q&A. We’d love to get to know your family — and show you why kids love school here.

MASQUERADE: BEAUX ARTS 74TH ANNUAL BALL

On Saturday, November 7, Beaux Arts will celebrate its 74th Annual Ball during the organization’s milestone 75th anniversary year. South Florida’s oldest costume ball returns to The Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables for this year’s Masquerade-themed evening benefiting the University of Miami’s Lowe Art Museum and Beaux Arts’ community arts education programs. Guests will enjoy cocktails, dinner, live music, dancing, and the imaginative costumes that have become a hallmark of this beloved Miami tradition. For more than seven decades, Beaux Arts has brought together art, philanthropy, creativity, and community. Tickets: $425 per person, $850 per couple available here.

HEALTHY SKIN IS AN INVESTMENT IN YOURSELF

Beautiful skin begins with consistent care. As our largest organ, the skin serves as a protective barrier against environmental damage, pollution, and the natural aging process. Investing in professional skincare treatments not only enhances your appearance but also supports long-term skin health. Regular facials deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate the skin, promoting a brighter, smoother complexion. Microneedling stimulates natural collagen production, helping improve fine lines, acne scars, and overall skin texture. Advanced laser treatments, such as HALO and BBL, target sun damage, pigmentation, uneven skin tone, and visible signs of aging while encouraging skin rejuvenation. Combining these treatments with a personalized skincare regimen helps maintain healthy, radiant, youthful-looking skin over time. At Revive Surgical Institute, we believe skincare is more than a luxury—it’s an essential part of self-care, confidence, and graceful aging. Healthy skin today is an investment in your beauty tomorrow.

OUR NEXT PICK IS A KILLER

Calling all armchair detectives: our next Book Bees pick is Murder at the Grand Alpine Hotel by Lucy Foley, the bestselling author of The Guest List. It’s the first new Miss Marple novel in 50 years, and it’s a good one. High in the Swiss Alps, a glamorous hotel fills with guests who all have something to hide: an actress, a politician, a society wife, a doctor. Then someone turns up dead, and only one unassuming woman is paying close enough attention. Read fast and trust no one. Get your TICKET, if you dare.

LA PECORA BIANCA ARRIVES IN CORAL GABLES

A New York favorite has landed in our own backyard! La Pecora Bianca is now open at Shops at Merrick Park, bringing a little taste of Italy to Coral Gables. We loved it in NYC, so having it close to home feels especially sweet. With beautiful décor and a warm, inviting atmosphere, the new location is a lovely spot for date night, dinner with friends, or a leisurely bite after browsing the shops. Benvenuti to the neighborhood, La Pecora Bianca! We’re already looking forward to our next visit.

LAST CALL TO WEIGH IN

How much should you tip your housekeeper, nanny, or other household help this holiday season? We’re gathering insights from Miami families to create a practical guide to salaries, benefits, and holiday bonuses. Our confidential Holiday Tipping Survey closes tomorrow, November 6. Take the survey and help us understand how Miami thanks those who help at home.

KEEP THE 305 CLEAN & GREEN

A beautiful Miami starts with all of us. From picking up litter on your morning walk to bringing reusable bags to the grocery store, small habits can make a meaningful difference. As we head into the busy holiday season, let’s show a little extra love to our neighborhoods, parks, and waterways. Keeping our city beautiful is something we can all take part in.

A LITTLE MUSTACHE MAGIC

Movember is here, and we’re giving the mustache its moment. Whether he’s growing one for the cause or simply keeping his signature look sharp, a little grooming goes a long way. This week’s pick: Clubman Pinaud Moustache Wax, a classic for taming stray hairs and shaping a polished ‘stache. As an Amazon Associate, 305 Hive Media earns from qualifying purchases.
