A great time, always!

We’re going to miss this place. Every single thing has been first class. The architecture is art. The landscape is art. The food presentation is art. If your travel agent suggests that you go to Sandals which was last cool in the 90s, find yourself another travel agent because they’re not doing their job. Overheard at the pool- “We were at Sandals in St Lucia and the rooms haven’t been updated in a long time. This place is brand new and is so much nicer.” Thanks my love for bringing me.

Our Psychic Weekend is coming up this Friday and Saturday, and we’d like to extend an invitation to any and all on Cape Ann to join us for one of the most popular off-season happenings at the Blue Shutters.

Last night the Cape Ann Chamber Of Commerce was very proud to cut the ribbon for the Wellspring Awesome Closet.

In January 2018 the Awesome Foundation awarded Wellspring the 52nd $1000 no strings attached micro grant to create the Awesome Closet. A underutilized space at Wellspring became that “shoppe”. It provides a boutique shopping experience for their clients. The grant was used to buy racks and fixtures for the room. H. Herbert Goodick, Inc installed the rack and painted. Glover Floor Covering, Inc donated and installed the carpet. The Cape Ann Chamber Of Commerce and their Business Women’s Mixer at the Crows Nest last month helped to stock the closet with tons of awesome donations. J. Jill Compassion Fund will continue to support the effort long term.

The racks are organized by size, program participates can make an appointment and shop for FREE. Volunteers are available to act as personal shoppers and help them choose outfits. Donations of business atire for both women and men are always welcome.

Happy International Women’s Day – Women empowering women!!!

I’ll beat everyone to the cliche response – “Every day should be woman’s day”.

Where every attention to detail was paid, where there were no corners cut-there’s @unico2087 Incredible. Easily the nicest hotel I’ve ever been to and I’ve been to some pretty great ones. Unico just opened last year so it uses the latest materials and styling while still paying homage to the area in which it’s built. So refined, so sexy, so chic. I keep coming back to “sophisticated”. My beautiful Kate works for the company that built and operates this hotel and she loves the team she works with, telling me every day how much she loves her job.

Questions came up at the lady podcast about the Cape Ann Gift Certificates.

Did you know . . . Cape Ann Gift Certificates are really checks?

We sold more than 60K last year, 20K just over the holidays! This is a highly successful program that keeps people shopping and dining locally.

My love Kate works for the company that owns Hard Rock Riviera Maya, Hard Rock Vallarta, Unico, Eden Rock and Nobu Hotels in Miami.

We’re lucky to be able to stay at these next level all inclusive resorts once a year for vacation.

When I was younger I did an inexpensive all-inclusive in CANCUN and was totally turned off by the cattle call mentality.

This place is nothing like that. There’s a ton to do, there are countless different pools to go to with varying levels of activity from entertaining to completely chill. The food is great and there are soooo many different options and they’re all unique and you never fell like the food is mass produced. The booze is top shelf.

This is the kind of vacation where you literally don’t have to think about anything. The kind of place where you can instantly unwind all that tension in your neck and back from all the responsibilities of the real world. Everything is taken care of and taken care of perfectly. I’d highly recommend you come here.

I’m. Looking forward to checking out Unico which she tells me I won’t believe.

Hard Rock Riviera Maya has two sections, one adult only and one for families. I can’t wait to bring the kids here in the family section. There’s soooo much to do, their heads are going to explode. For now I’m going to enjoy the adult section to the max.

Sandals is so 90s. The hip kids are going to Hard Rock All Inclusive Collection and the sophisticated are hitting Unico (I’m looking forward to filing a report from Unico like you read about).

Sun’s about to come up as I write this –

Thanks to Blue Shutters I have picture of damage to Good Harbor Footbridge at the midnight high tide.

Fear not I’m sure it will be ready for summer not the first time the ocean has taken it!

Beach closed picture thanks to Christine Travers.

Beautiful sunset and full moon, then overnight wind and rain.
