Each little treasure trove of spices is situated in its own little category. There are baking spices and salad spices. I was impressed with all the different kinds of cinnamon's. The people who work there are the nicest. A gentleman directed me to the cayenne pepper area. There was a variety of choices and I learned about the Scoville levels of heat. Now, you may be saying to yourself, why would Joy B. searching for the hot peppers? The truth of the matter is that I was looking to help out a friend. I found my cayenne pepper and I was pleasantly surprised at the price point. I bought a nice size bottle for about $6.00 and change.

Oh, and the décor is very nice! I personally really like the Earl Grey Spring & Mulberry date-sweetened chocolate. Of course, the packaging is so pretty it's hard to separate that from the taste and texture, too .... The honeys here are like none other I've had before! The absolute cutest little honey bears I've ever seen! There's one raw honey in a glass jar that's the only chewy honey I've ever tasted -- what a treat to eat a spoonful of that plain, direct from the jar, mmm! (I didn't just eat it for the taste or texture, though -- I started to eat it because I'd read about the great health benefits of honey!) I really really enjoy the smokiness of the Russian Caravan. Plus, it's fun to research, read and find out about such things as how this rather unique tea flavour came about -- that it was the result of actual campfire smoke flavouring the tea in the first place while travelling across Russia way-back-when that is now encapsulated in this oh-so-tasty tea! Tea is a really great gateway to learning about various cultures and world history! Maybe it's his-tea-ry! Persian Rose Garden tea is splendid -- mellow and rich, smooth, calming (I'm not saying it's medicinally calming, but rather that it's evocative of a certain atmosphere that may make you feel a certain way if you tune into it.) Turmeric ginger is very nice, too .... Overall, aesthetically beautiful, palate-pleasing place! Highly recommended!

I had an absolutely incredible experience learning Reiki with Dante Carroll (PharmDHealer). On the…read morefirst day, we went deeply into the history of Reiki and the meaning behind the attunements, which gave me such a strong foundation and appreciation for the practice. The energy in the room was powerful from the very beginning, and I could truly feel the spiritual intensity of the work we were doing. The space itself was clean, cozy, relaxing, and created the perfect environment for healing and learning. Dante was professional, organized, and extremely thorough throughout the entire experience, which immediately made me feel comfortable and confident in his instruction. On the second day, we focused extensively on hand placements, techniques, and how to work with others through energy healing, along with additional attunements and practical skills. Dante explained everything in a way that was easy to understand while still being incredibly detailed and insightful. What stood out to me the most was how caring and supportive he was as an instructor -- I felt completely safe, respected, and encouraged every step of the way. His knowledge, compassion, and dedication to his students truly make him an amazing teacher and healer. I'm beyond grateful for this experience and will absolutely continue my Reiki education with him and return for future adjustments and healing sessions.
