The staff here has always been super welcoming and informative. Not all HOIs are the same - the crystal selections all differ and this one also had a beautiful African drum (djembe) for sale that made the most magnificent sounds. I don't know how to play the djembe, but it sure sounded like I did, lol. I think about the instrument all the time, but I wasn't willing to drop that much money that day.

I've had a great experience at One Candle Story store in Glendale, CA, where all my ideas were properly addressed and I was able to find the perfect gifts for my friends. The owner of the store helped me chose matching personalized candles and other items and created nice arrangements with cute packaging within minutes. This is a family-owned small business and the store was clean and calm. What I love is that their candles are being prepared from natural ingredients and they also ship within the U.S. Everything made for the customers' comfort. Will definitely shop here again.

Today the door was open and I stepped in, and I am so glad I did. What a sweet find this place is! Sometimes shops like these can be overwhelming to me; however, there is nothing pretentious about One Candle Story. They make all their candles right there, you can see some of 'behind the scenes' right there in the front room, the candles and gems are really well priced, and most of all, Susan and her husband (the owners, I presume) were so pleasant and delightful, and very helpful. I'll certainly be back to shop for more gifts!

My fellow 80s babies/90s kids (1984, what what!) all remember a special game from our childhood:…read moreMASH. MASH was a pen/paper game that determined your future housing situation ("Mansion, Apartment, Shack, House" = MASH), income, spouse, pets and job. It was mostly our way of aligning our lives with the boys we had massive crushes on. I recently taught the game to an 8 year old little fella and he was enamored and obsessed (and is marrying Taylor Swift!). In one of these games, my future claim to fame was living in a mansion here in LA with millions of dollars in my pocket and owning a crystal/gem shop! First of all, I am two months of 41 so this better happen soon and second: as someone who is OBSESSED with healing gems/stones/crystals... this sounds like a dream come true! Alas, the gem store of my wildest desires already exists in the form of The Stone Femme Studio in Montrose and let me tell you: I am in love! Stroll down the main shopping and dining strip in Montrose on Honolulu Ave and you will find The Stone Femme Studio nestled in the back of a nook passing under some stairs (near The Elbow Room Bar). This heaven on earth can be hard to miss due to its location but luckily I saw a sandwich board on the sidewalk announcing the shop and it was meant to be as it was minutes before The Stone Femme Studio was due to close for the day at 6pm (open Thursday - Sunday only). Enter the door of The Stone Femme Studio and your jaw will drop at the massive collection of rocks, gems, crystals, minerals, fossils, curiosities, healing stones, prisms, jewelry and so on and so forth. From shelves of color coded stones to bins of raw minerals to glass cases... every surface seems to be covered with stones and yet organized in a way that even my OCD was smiling. I have been to stone/metaphysical stores in multiple states and The Stone Femme Studio is now officially my absolute favorite by far. You will find anything you need here whether seeking actual energy healing or merely into accenting your decorating esthetic with a boho vibe. The Stone Femme Studio is clearly curated by the best of the best suppliers because the quality is AMAZING! Prices are also reasonable and even more so in comparison to the crème de la crème quality. The Stone Femme Studio won't empty your wallet needlessly (except for the fact that you will surely buy a large haul!) and there are various deals available for mere pennies on the dollar. I scored Orange Calcite, Flower Aquate, Rhondonite, Oco Geode, Green Strawberry Quartz and Mica for $36.36 (plus tax)! What a bargain! Unsure what to purchase for your healing needs? Don't even stress because The Stone Femme Studio has descriptions of the stones and their healing properties on the displays. Also notable is the customer service of Janelle, the owner of The Stone Femme Studio. Janelle is quirky, charming and well educated on her stones. We ventured in literally on the dot of closing time so she was forced to say after and did not show any sass or annoyance and rather was very engaging in conversation, answered all questions and was patient with healing stone search. Most often, employees at similar stores are quite uppity and act like they are on spiritual levels you can't even attempt to access but not Janelle! I can't even give The Stone Femme Studio its proper due in a review; it is simply that fantastic! The Stone Femme Studio is a must-see (must-shop?) for anyone and everyone into healing stones and crystals and I am already DYING to return and take home another handful of stones. I could live in this store if I was allowed! What are you waiting for? RUN and check it out for yourself!

If you're looking for a unique store in the heart of Glendale, this is it!…read more The store is nestled away in the old Hotel Glendale building which has a lot of charm. Parking is not an issue because there is lots of street parking nearby. When you get inside, you immediately feel like you're in another world. There truly is no store like this in the area. The owner, Arax, makes many of her items and curates the rest with quality pieces at affordable prices. I love the eclectic style in this place and Arax is so helpful when you are asking about items. There's a unique assortment of many things, including home decor, jewelry, and bath and spa products. I particularly love the jewelry section, which she told me she constantly updates. I bought a necklace I loved and had to get a sage bundle- which comes with a crystal and two pieces of palo santo. For under $25- this is a steal and I definitely think it's a great gift. Arax even threw in some extra palo santo in my order for free which was a nice surprise! Overall, a really cool store that I totally recommend when you're looking for a a special gift for someone... or yourself because something you just have to #treatyoself. I certainly did-- and will be back!
