Hello Back Bay Beaus, happy Monday.

Happy Autumnal Equinox, Summer is officially over. Unofficially, we were not expecting rain yesterday, as the old gypsy woman clearly stated we are in for at least 3 more weeks of Local’s Summer. With the bulk of September now behind us, it is now more important than ever to plan the early Fall itinerary which (should) include pumpkin patches, gallery openings, coffee pop-ups, and perhaps a few pumpkin espresso martinis.

To our new readers—welcome! The Back Bay Buzz delivers just the right amount of news and events for locals in Newport Beach and Costa Mesa. No crime, no politics, no spam—just the good stuff. We scan newspapers, blogs, social media, business journals, and Google alerts so you don’t have to.

In today’s Buzz:

• Goop opens at Lido Village

• Salty Horse offers “coastal cowboy brunch”

• Sparks-n-Smores at the local makerspace

• Art Walk @ The Camp

Goop Opens in Lido Village

Goop just dropped anchor at Lido Village—and it’s built for easy holiday shopping. Now through Dec. 24, the goop GIFT pop-up brings those personality-driven guides to life (twelve categories, pets included) with a full lineup of goop Beauty & Wellness and GWYN, plus a tight edit of multi-brand skincare, jewelry, handbags, accessories, and home décor—curated by Gwyneth. It’s a true one-stop: find something for the health nut, the host, the dreamer, the cook, or the lover, then sail through in-store wrapping, personalization, and local delivery.

You’ll find it at 3424 Via Lido, Suite 101, Newport Beach, CA 92663, open Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Fun fact: what began as Gwyneth Paltrow’s weekly newsletter in 2008 has grown into a global lifestyle brand with award-winning beauty, fashion, and editorial—and for the season, your holiday HQ on the harbor.

Newly Opened Salty Horse is a Whole Vibe

9 Hidden Perks of Your Amazon Prime Membership

Are you taking advantage of your Amazon Prime perks? Whether you’re already a Prime member or considering signing up, here are 9 Prime member benefits you should be using!

For many of us, free shipping and access to exclusive shows and movies is enough reason to fork over the $14.99 per month to get Prime. But if that hasn't been enough to entice you to join Prime, maybe some lesser-known incentives like free music/podcasts, access to lightning deals, and Whole Foods discounts will tempt you to sign up.

Make sure you're not missing out, and get the most out of your Prime membership!
