Breathe At Home feels like walking into the apartment of that one friend who travels everywhere and…read moresomehow has impeccable taste in everything. The merchandising here is the real draw. Home décor, gifts, skin care, kids clothes, coffee table books, and accessories all sit together in a way that should feel chaotic but instead feels curated and intentional, almost like someone designed each vignette as its own small scene. I found myself slowing down and actually looking at things instead of speed shopping, which says a lot about how the space is laid out. If you've been to Feste in SoHo (NYC), The Glass Box in Chapel Hill, Parkleigh in Rochester, or Peppercorn in Boulder, you know the vibe I'm describing. It's that specific kind of shop that blends gifting, beauty, and home goods into something that feels more like a lifestyle than a store category. I left with a stack of GEOMETRY kitchen tea towels, Agent Nateur toothpaste, a square, moth-patterned mango wood tray, and a pair of Izipizi reading glasses. None of those were on my list when I walked in, which feels like the whole point of a shop like this. There's a wide range of price points too, from small everyday gifts to bigger investment pieces, and normally you'd need to hit 15 different stores to pull together a haul like mine. You can even order directly from their website: https://breatheathome.com Pittsford's Main Street is full of charming storefronts, but this one stands out for how thoughtfully it's put together. The staff struck a nice balance of being warm without hovering, which made browsing easy and unhurried. There's street parking right out front, plus a lot behind the shop if Main Street is full. There are also several ADA parking spots in back.

So I follow Breathe and Breathe at Home on Instagram. This is part of the Breathe Yoga family. I…read moresaw some things on the page and on an instagram story and wanted to check out the place and maybe pick something up. This is a free standing store when you walk in it's soft colors you smell some fabulous candle burning (it was Grapefruit Pine which I did purchase) lots of totems and crystals, Buddha's, perfumes, oils, books, Sage sticks by Catherine Rising and home and furniture items and a bit more. It's not a large store but well thought out with just enough things. They do have some interesting gifts to give to that hard to please person as things are different and unique. I'm sure if you are not feeling it you can get a gift card. Staff is friendly and helpful. They greet you warmly but a plus they are not all over you. Now this place is not Inexpensive so understand that. The candle I bought was $30 for a better candle it's not bad but the larger one in a mercury glass type of vessel is $70. Furniture is priced at certain points and etc. Don't let the prices detour you to come in a take a look around. I will come back for sure. Do yourself a favor and read the receipt as you have a very small time frame to return.. I believe it's 7 days. So if you have buyers remorse make sure it's in perfect condition and not used for a refund. I am sure it's because they have other locations that have retail attached to the Yoga Studios and wherever you bought the item it needs to go back to that store. So... this store is a few doors down from Breathe Yoga. It's on Main Street in Pittsford. Street parking and they also have a lot in the back I believe but I was able to easily park on Main Street. If your in the area go give it a visit it's a lovely store.

I had no idea ! It had been years since I last visited, so I was really excited to go back with my sisters. Staff welcomed us, we got some drinks and had such a fun time sniffing all the endless possibilities we could create. Once we had our fave lists together and sat down to create the scent... I ended up not loving mine. Even with their help and some tweaking, I just wasn't feeling it at all, which was a little disappointing for me. I did end up finding a happy medium in the end.. and honestly I was having such a good time with my family that I didn't let it bother me anyway. BUT when I picked up my candle the next day... I was completely blown away !! The scent had mellowed out and smelled way better than the day before. Like it was basically what I was looking for ! I guess sometimes it's just like that. So if you're not loving what you made... just wait until you pick it up and give it a sniff then. I will definitely be back now that I have my list of favorite smells and cant wait to make another.

First visit here for me. I was really surprised when I walked in. This place was huge. It was…read moreexactly what I was looking for. It honors a lot of religions and spiritual practices. I had my husband with me, so I couldn't do the kind of walkthrough I wanted to do. But I made sure to check out their candle selection. I was really glad I did, they have every candle imaginable. Their prices were affordable. Definitely less expensive than ordering online. Plus it's nice to walk around and see all the options. They have an entire crystal and mineral section. I could have been in that store for hours. It had a family environment, parents shopping with their kids. If your kids are into metals, rocks, or crystals this spot is it. I wasn't looking but I'm sure they have D&D stuff and other fun gam I liked the store a lot. Some of these mystic shops have a witchy vibe, which isn't my thing. This place felt more wholesome. Something us old ancestral witches like. Lol I ended up buying several different types of candles, sage, and a Rose quartz for my meditation room. Next time, I go back. I will update with some pictures.

Short review: If you're a witch that cares about ethics and respecting other cultures, maybe think…read moretwice! And if you're the owner of a metaphysical shop, do your research as to not sell goods that may be seen as disrespectful to large groups of people. Long version: Listen. You can get what you need most likely if you're spiritual from this shop, BUT-- there's a seeming lack of social responsibility that should concern my fellow respectful witches. They sell white sage and native/African cultural practice tools that are not appropriate for mass consumption. (Outside of people of those descents.) In their 7 day candle section there was an 'Indian power candle' referring to natives, along with the white smudge sticks and other tools of that nature. It is my understanding based upon the actual words of Native American people in the spiritual and witchcraft community that native sourced dream catchers and such ARE an appropriate thing to sell as long as actual Native Americans are the source of these goods and being compensated, but white sage is both unsustainable and not meant to be used outside of their closed practices. And using a native person as a mascot on your candle with the wrong terminology is beyond inappropriate.

Went into for Halloween themed and scented candles like pumpkin spice ...large jar's were buy one get one 50% off. ***But here is a tip if you also belong to shopkicks, it is buy one get one free!*** There is also a large selection of clearance items, mostly candle scents from the past season....time to stock up and save. They also have more then just candles....wax melts, warmers, scent lights, oils, potpourri and sprays. My favorite candle scents by season: Fall.....autumn leaves, November rain and pumpkin pie. Winter...mountain lodge, caramel pecan pie and home sweet home. Spring...clean cotton, vanilla chai and meadow showers. Summer...Beach walk, Margarita time and coconut bay.

This is truly one of the best gift shops around…read more I don't live in Rochester, but I do spend Christmas there every year. Parkleigh has saved my life by stocking all the gifts I forgot to get, didn't want to cart all the way to Western New York, or didn't even know I wanted to buy. They have something for everyone, and I truly mean that. If you can't find a gift for someone here, it's because that person doesn't like anything at all. They've got chocolates of all kinds, tea and coffee ground to order (which I wish I'd known before I'd bought mine elsewhere), beauty products, stuffed animals, coasters, books, flasks, camping gear, cookware, Bills gear, candy, and of course, socks, cards, mugs, shirts, hats, and anything else you could want with clever and funny little sayings. Seriously, so many socks. I've never seen this many socks that talk about drinking wine. But if that's something you need in your life, get over to Parkleigh. Also, the staff is super sweet and helpful.

I didn't buy anything. I have cancer, and I popped in because I can longer do my face injections…read morewhile taking Chemo. The chemo is also breaking my face out, really bad. I was feeling pretty low about myself, and not very pretty. I thought if I bought some new makeup, I'd feel better about myself. Nope! Didn't work. I walked in. The front door was very heavy, and I was strugglibg to open it, because I'm weak due to my chemo. A bottled red head, all made up, cupie doll sat at the front ready to greet me with a smile. However, it never occurred to her to help me with the door. Once I stumbled in and fixed my headscarf, because my hair is falling out. She greeted me kindly and asked how she may help me? My brain was thinking, "Opening the door would have been helpful" but instead I smiled back, and asked for MAC makeup. She can back with, "Oh sorry hun, we don't sell MAC" I told her that I just read an article in The NY Times where they announced Sephora was now selling MAC" She said, Nope! Sorry hun! Yes, she called a 55 year old women hun. Extremely inappropriate for a girl her age. I do not think hun, baby, doll, any of those types of greeting are appropriate for anyone, at any age. Her smile was obnoxious and she said nothing more after that. She stood there like she expected me to walk away. So I did just that. Turned and walked straight out the door. That was that. No, How about I show you what we have that is comparable? I would have been fine with an alternative option. But the girl was not bright enough to turn it into a sale. She probably even thought she did he job well. So I left, went to Ulta and dropped Over 500.00 there on all new makeup. Not all of it was MAC. But the girls at Ulta were incredible. Helpful, nonjudgmental. They were not made up like Cupie dolls, like in Sephora. They had a more mature, classic look to their makeup. Sephora might be for kids, but I have 6 daughters and 10 granddaughters that will be getting Ulta gift cards from now on, instead of Sephora. What was it, that Julia Roberts said in Pretty Woman. Oh ya! "Big Mistake Sephora, Big Mistake"

I ordered a few things online for in store pickup which was easy. Staff greets you when you come in and than they do it again I get it but it can sometimes be tedious.

Prices depends on what you need from inexpensive to high end. A plus the staff is helpful and knowledgeable)even though I moaned that they greeted me too much lol) If you have their credit card you get points and etc. It's really a 4.5 but it's a good store so I'll bump them up!
