Why This Collagen Works Faster Than the Rest 🧜‍♀️✨

For decades, beauty has focused on quick fixes: what you put on your skin. But the most radiant glow, strongest hair, and healthiest aging begin from within.

Introducing Pique's Carrara Marine Collagen, a true breakthrough in beauty. This first-of-its-kind formula combines Type I marine collagen for visible radiance with rare Type II collagen from wild Hokkaido salmon to support deeper structural resilience. Enhanced with biotin and micronized pearl powder, Carrara helps promote smoother, more luminous skin, stronger hair and nails, and whole-body vitality.

Designed for superior absorption, you'll see results faster than with traditional collagen. Its rich coconut cream base transforms your daily routine into something indulgent. More ritual than supplement, it elevates even your morning coffee or matcha.

This is collagen, completely reimagined. Not just glow but structure. Not just results but longevity. A new foundation for beauty, built from within. 🧜‍♀️✨

Music in the Park Brings 47 Free Performances to Cape May

Cape May will once again fill summer evenings with live music as the popular Music in the Park concert series returns to Rotary Park from June through early September. Hosted by the City of Cape May, the annual series features 47 free outdoor performances showcasing a variety of musical styles, local performers, tribute acts, and community ensembles. Concerts are scheduled every Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday evening from June 20 through September 6, 2026, offering residents and visitors a chance to enjoy live entertainment in the heart of the city. All performances begin at 7 p.m. at the Rotary Park bandstand, located at 400 Lafayette Street, just behind the Washington Street Mall. Guests are encouraged to bring beach chairs or blankets, as seating at the venue is limited. The concert series has become a favorite summer tradition, drawing audiences to the park while supporting the vibrant atmosphere of downtown Cape May. Visitors can pair an evening of music with shopping, dining, and other attractions along the nearby Washington Street Mall. Organizers note that concerts are held rain or shine unless otherwise announced. Any schedule changes or cancellations will be communicated through the City of Cape May’s social media channels and posted signage at Rotary Park. Admission to all performances is free.

Families Invited to Discover Marine Life During Cape May Harbor Safari

 The Nature Center of Cape May is once again offering its popular Harbor Safari program, giving visitors a chance to discover the rich marine life and coastal ecosystems found in Cape May Harbor. Founded in 1992, the Nature Center has focused on environmental education and responsible stewardship of the open spaces surrounding the harbor. The Harbor Safari reflects that mission by providing an interactive outdoor experience where participants can learn directly from nature. During the program, guests join experienced naturalists in the harbor shallows to help pull a 20-foot seine net through the water. The activity allows participants to safely observe a variety of marine species that inhabit local waters. Wildlife commonly encountered includes Atlantic silversides, summer flounder, northern pipefish, hermit crabs, northern stargazers, and horseshoe crabs. In addition to examining marine creatures up close, participants learn about coastal ecology, local habitats, and the natural history of the Cape May area. The family-friendly program also features a guided walk through coastal terrain, providing opportunities to explore the region’s unique environment. Harbor Safari sessions are held every Tuesday and Thursday throughout the summer, continuing through August. Programs run from 10:30 a.m. to noon and begin at the Trucksess Welcome Center at the Nature Center of Cape May, located at 1600 Delaware Avenue. Free parking is available nearby. Advance registration is required, and children must be accompanied by an adult. The program includes walking distances of up to 1.5 miles over generally level terrain that may be sandy, muddy, or rocky in some areas. Participants are encouraged to bring appropriate footwear, sunscreen, insect repellent, and water.

Ocean City’s Turn as it Launches $19.5 Million Beach Replenishment Project

 Ocean City is preparing for a major beach restoration effort this summer as crews begin work on a $19.5 million federally funded replenishment project designed to rebuild some of the resort’s most heavily eroded shoreline. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recently awarded the contract to Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Company, which will place approximately 1.6 million cubic yards of sand along beaches stretching from the north end near Seaspray Beach south to 12th Street. Construction is expected to begin in July following a pre-construction meeting scheduled for June. The replenishment project is part of Ocean City’s long-standing partnership with the Army Corps of Engineers and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. Since entering a 50-year shoreline protection agreement in the 1990s, Ocean City has completed numerous replenishment projects aimed at preserving the city’s eight miles of beaches. Federal and state agencies will cover the vast majority of project costs, with local funding supporting additional beach and dune maintenance efforts. The work also represents part of a broader $99 million regional beach restoration initiative benefiting several Cape May County communities, including Strathmere, Sea Isle City, Avalon, and Stone Harbor.
