Sugar Ridge

What we loved about our stay at the beautiful Sugar Ridge, was the variety of things to see and to do. Sugar Ridge hotel lays in a valley, quite high from sea level and thus have no private beach connected to it like most other resorts or hotels around in the Caribbean. But the location is nonetheless perfect, instead of having only one beach, they got at least six of them with just a five-minutes shuttle ride away. The beaches surrounding this area are some of the most beautiful on the island and if you for some reason would get tired of one, you have many more just a short walk or ride away. Other than beaches and two restaurants at the property (one of which was supreme, I'll tell you more about it a bit later), we had access to two gorgeous pool areas, an Aveda spa (where I had booked a full body massage for Alex that I thought he deserved after his hard work these past months), a stunning view over the Caribbean sea from our room and from most other parts of the property, friendly staff always willing to walk that extra mile for us and an overall peaceful and serene setting which truly did good for our souls after a few hectic months. Sugar Ridge is slightly lower in price than the other large resorts around making this a great value for both couples, newlyweds and singles in every age. It was also recently voted one of the top 25 trendiest hotels in the Caribbean by members of TripAdvisor and yes we must agree: the design and the style of this place is very well thought out and both the interior and the ambiance oozes youth and sexiness all the way through. Thank you Sugar Ridge for having us, can't wait to get back another time.

Freezing

Brrr... it's so damn cold here. Need to pull on jeans or pants every day after 4pm as the winds are as chilly as during a cold summer night back home in Scandinavia. January and February are supposed to be the coldest months so here's to hoping both these months pass fast. Or in a way it is way better than those sweaty months of August and September when I think about it. Alex and me could barely sleep in the same bed because of the high humidity and the oppressive clinging heat so I guess this might be just a tad bit better, but still: Cold! Here's a hot mix made to heat up frozen winter souls, by Brooke Johnston, goes well with a glass of round red wine to get you (almost) back into a summery mood.

How to wear it

My friend Abi taught me how to tie and wear the sarong with a bamboo ring the other day on the beach and I'm amazed I wasn't aware of it until now. It's very versatile and this is only one of the ways to wear it. And oh yes, I got sick and tired of my hair always-getting-back-to-orange-tone so needed to dye it back to dark. What a difference it makes. Loving my own reflection again.

Read on here for my very time consuming hair journey in 2011, desperately trying to get back to my natural roots..

Tried to take a beach outfit shot in the most serious fashion blogger style for you but my bag which I had meticulously placed next to me on the quay for a nice little detail kept on falling over and over so this is all I have for you today, sorry.

Next stop: The Beach. Have a lovely Friday everyone, what are you up to around the world? Still snow and cold where you are? I'll send you my warmest thoughts from the beach today, marinated in the beautiful flavor of rum and coke of course.

Today's

As there are and will be much boat talk here in the blog for a while I figured it could be nice to mix it all up with some fashion for the female readers who might be interested in that. Not so fashionable today perhaps but you get the point. I'm working in the service industry after all and need to be pleasing all of you simultaneously, yes I know hard work but someone's gotta do it. Anyways, this is more or less how I look most of the days here in my Carib life: jeans shorts, a comfy top, my organic bag (what are those called now again?) which fits my laptop when I'm working or towels and swimwear for beach time and maybe a couple of bangles around my arm. And the Ray Ban's of course, always my Ray Ban's. I hold these particular ones very dearly as they've survived almost six months without me loosing them to the greedy old ocean like so many times before. That neck strap was definitely a lifesaver.

What else? I was today invited to have a look at the new amazing condominium that is taking shape here in Falmouth Harbor. South Point Falmouth Harbor is Antiguas most interesting property to invest in for a vacation residence in paradise. The complex will also operate as an exclusive boutique hotel for short term visitors and owners are able to rent out their apartments with lucrative benefits. The condos are gorgeous with high end Italian interior decor, generous colonial style balconies overlooking the harbor and the mega yachts below and the restaurant and lounge bar by the water with a dinghy dock will be the place to be when this condominium opens up in November this year. Have you ever dreamed of a luxurious home in paradise, this might be your best choice. Will show you photos one day later on when the apartments are ready to be photographed.

I started the day by whining about no time to blog and ended up publishing three posts in less than 10 hours, more ambitious and efficient today than I thought. Filled with much energy and inspiration after our fantastic holiday in St Barts.

Holiday mode

Amazing days at sea among the best of company, most glorious of weather and the most beautiful boat in the world. Not even Romans Eclipse comes close to the beauty of Duende.

Alex clothes are from this stylish brand.
