The course presents some unique challenges that will test your skills. Greens are large and manicured perfectly. Staff are friendly and helpful. All this at a price that is very reasonable.

    On vacation in Massachusetts for a week, I spent a whole day at South Shore Plaza while my friend stayed home for a delivery. Shopping some stores on the lower leveI, I came to Superdry. It was an English company. Browsing the clothes, I looked at sweaters. They were of good quality. I also saw athletic shoes. Some were the house brand. Those were also of good quality. The company does claim that its jackets are waterproof. I rate this store at 4.0. If you found this review helpful, please click THANK below. See more..

    Bath & Body Works image
    On vacation in Massachusetts for a week, I spent a whole day at South Shore Plaza while my friend stayed home for a domestic matter. Shopping some stores on the lower leveI, I came to Bath & Body Works, one of my favorite stores for personal care lotions. I sampled the Japanese Cherry Blossom Hand Cream. i was interested in the small 1 oz. travel side was $6.50. I liked its fresh, bright floral scent that was a blend of cherry blossom, white jasmine, and violet-like mimosa with undernotes of sandalwood and pear. I also sampled the Sweet Pea 24 Hour Moisture Super Smooth Body Lotion with Shea Butter & Vitamin E at $13.50. Its description said it was a cheery bouquet of sweet pea, watery pear, sheer freesia, luscious raspberry and soft musk. It was light, soft fragrance with a balanced blend of floral and fruity notes. I was trying it again to see if the shea butter would leave an oily residue on the skin. It didn’t the first time; and, it didn’t again. I decided to keep on my Gift Wish List. While there, I also looked at the White Barn 3-wick soy candles. The fall scents were in. First, I tried that Pumpkin Vanilla Crème. That had a nice blend of pumpkin, vanilla, and nutmeg. Next, I tried the Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin which had clove and vanilla mixed in with the cinnamon and pumpkin. I liked that one even better. I put that on my short list for the October-November home fragrance candle. I rate my experience at this Bath & Body Works at 4.50 and can recommend a visit.

    On vacation in Massachusetts for a week, I spent a whole day at South Shore Plaza while my friend stayed home waiting for a delivery. Shopping some stores on the lower leveI, I came to FYE. I shopped mostly music CD’s and DVD’s. I also browsed Vinyl and other areas. There was a sale on all T-shirts. The deal was Buy One, Get One 50% Off. I saw a variety of headphones and ear buds. The store had a whole wall display of Funko characters and a shelving display of Ty plush characters as well a board games, such as Monopoly, Operation, and the Harry Potter version of Clue.

    Things Remembered image
    On vacation in Massachusetts for a week, I spent one whole day at South Shore Plaza while my friend stayed home awaiting a delivery. While shopping in the upstairs level, I came to Things Remembered, one of my favorite stores to shop for gifts. I stopped in to see what this location had. At the time of my visit, there was a 75% Off Sale in progress. I also saw some Disney items for the theme park fans. There was a Cinderella coach and Mickey in a globe. I admired two sets of wedding gift champagne glasses. There was a sizable display of water bottles. I also saw a lot of jewelry that included bracelets, necklaces, and rings. Some things were sterling silver. Other items had gemstones. I also browsed watches, clocks, office desk sets, keepsake boxes, and jewelry boxes. I admired the gift bags that had ruffled gift tissue attached to the top of the bag. It was decorative, and it effectively concealed the bag's contents. I’d seen them for the first time in another Things Remembered and thought the ruffled tissue was a good idea. I find that Things Remembered is nice store to shop whether I need to buy a gift or not. I rate Things Remembered at 4.50 and recommend stopping by. If you found this review helpful, please click THANK below. See more..

    - ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW AT THE BODY SHOP

    The Body Shop image
    On vacation in Massachusetts for a week, I spent one whole day at South Shore Plaza while my friend stayed home on a domestic matter. While shopping on the upper level, I came upon The Body Shop. I stopped in to see what was new or on sale. A line of products I hadn’t noticed before was skin care items made with hemp. What will it be used in next? The new line of lemon-based items looked interesting. I thought I might like to try the Lemon Purifying Face Wash at $15.00; however, in looking at the list of ingredients, I had second thoughts due to the presence of laureth sulfate, a potential irritant, and other chemicals. I particularly like the vegan products The Body Shop sells. During this visit, I tried the Almond Hand & Nail Cream. Although not vegan, it was vegetarian. It contained organic almond milk. I also tried the Spa of the World Japanese Camellia Cream Velvet Moisture Body Cream again. I already had that on my wish list. It was $36.00. It was a vegan item. I enjoyed shopping at The Body Shop. This English skin care, cosmetics, and perfume company sells very nice products at moderate prices, avoids animal testing, and is environmentally responsible. I rate this experience at The Body Shop and the products I sampled at 5.0 and can recommend a visit. If you found this review helpful, please click THANK below. See more..
