New Digs For Lobster Trap Tree

Posted on by Pat D

This year’s Lobster Trap Tree is located on Solomon Jacobs landing near the Harbormasters office. It’s a spectacular location. The tree is not yet adorned with its traditional handpainted buoys but does brag an additional number of lobster traps in honor of Gloucester 400+. It already looks fantastic from the water as well as from land. Looking forward to the tree lighting Sat Dec 9 at 4:30. You might notice the celebratory VIVA letters! You just may see them again……

Alicia Unleashed: Evolve Skin with Lindsey

Posted on by Alicia Unleashed

Episode 120 with Lindsey Mazzeo owner of Evolve Skin.

Listeners! If EVER there was an episode to listen to, THIS IS IT!

We discuss skin care, skin regiment, Lindsey’s own personal journey growing up with skin issues, putting in the work of 1200+ hours of schooling to become come an Esthetician, her gorgeous studio, the packages she has.

Honestly, the list goes on!

Did we mention she has her own product line?

Just listen to find out HOW OLD SHE IS!

ALICIA CRIES!

****slight correction Lindsey meant to say when it comes to toner, your skins natural ph is slightly acidic and applying water which is neutral will throw that off and lead to serums and moisturizers not working to their full potential.

Stop by her studio at 206 Main Street, Gloucester 01930

Chilly Day At Flat Ledge Quarry

Posted on by Pat D

I took a walk to Flat Ledge Quarry in Rockport a couple of days ago just to see what there was to see. I met a nice lady walking her dog. The dog was very curious about the icicles which drew my attention to them. I didn’t expect to see them there yesterday but indeed they are! I watched a red tail hawk circling the area seeming to browse as I was. It’s a soothing walk if you get the chance to take it and there’s a pretty thorough website if you are interested: Flat Ledge Quarry link.
