While in Downtown Holland for Girlfriends Weekend, how about letting the talented stylists at jb and me outfit you for Spring 2022, while serving you hot toddies as you shop? Or maybe pop into Merle Norman Cosmetics for a free mini makeover, enjoy free wine tastings at Cherry Republic and learn how to make the ultimate dessert martini with one of Holland’s best bartenders at Boatwerks Restaurant.
Of course, you could just spend the afternoon sipping tropical “Blu Drinks” while shopping at Blu Veranda and snapping photos with their famous cabana boys!
