Ok, holy dang... Mackenzie works wonders. I got a facial (I think it was the signature facial - the…read moreone where there is a deal for new clients) with some enhancements - the micro current and the light therapy. The micro current made my face dance all around - was kind of fun haha. The light therapy was relaxing - Mackenzie gave me a scalp massage while I was under the light. I'll get to the results but I want to start with how I ended up at Xeba and why the results were so important and meaningful to me. So, here it goes... I signed up for the facial because I had been going through a very rough time for over a year. 2025 was the worst year of my life - I lost my best friend - my soulmate of a girlfriend to cancer, a childhood friend to a brain aneurysm, my two cats from sudden illnesses, my parents became very sick and there was generally a lot going on with my personal life and my health that was not so happy. All of it aged me so hard. I could win awards for how good I am at wearing my stress, grief and depression. I hate it. I kind of became a bit of a recluse because of how little I felt or looked like myself since my best friend died. I felt like I just broke after that. My face screamed doom and gloom even when I was in a good mood. Soooo, I was told by my friends, my family and my grief therapist that I should do something nice for myself. Some self care. Like, repeatedly ha. So I did. I walk past Xeba all the time but disregarded it for a while thinking it would be stupidly expensive like everything else in this neighborhood. I was wrong. The pricing of their skincare products is in line with what I'm paying for my Dermalogica only they're all natural and I'm finding that they last a lot longer based on how much I need to use. I'm not good at keeping up with self care appointments like facials but I am SUPER good at spending way too long at researching and price comparing every place only to not follow through (womp womp). The pricing of their facials and their enhancements are super competitive. Especially with their new client deal and their membership. Anyway, the results - I went in thinking, cool, this will feel good and maybe it'll help my skin be less pissed off. The result was so much more than that. I've never had those enhancements - I think it was the micro current that really did it but I left there looking like I HADN'T just been through hell and back over the past year and a half. I went to go use the bathroom before I left and had to apologize for being in there for so long before meeting Mackenzie up front. I couldn't stop looking in the mirror. I looked younger somehow. I thought you had to get crazy sh*t done to yourself to have immediate results like that. Like, I know it's not permanent and I need to go back regularly to keep up with my progress (which I will - I got the membership) but holy sh*t. I wanted to cry. My face wasn't puffy, my skin looked tighter, my face didn't look droopy. It was like I lost weight or something. The two insane forehead lines that bother me were less noticeable. I think it was my eyes that really got me. They no longer showcased the grief I've been trying to pull myself out of. I know this was just a facial but it's the most self care I've done for myself since my best friend died. I didn't like looking at myself in the mirror anymore and now all of a sudden I couldn't stop looking at myself in the mirror because my face actually looked like it had life in it again. It felt really cool. I'm 40. I'm struggling with all the changes in my body and how much more everything screws with my skin, my weight, etc. Seeing myself look like I was 10 years younger gave me a kick in the butt to prioritize stuff like this a bit more. I'm excited for my next appointment and I get excited to use my serums each morning and night. I'm keeping up with self care again which is a nice feeling in itself. I really appreciate Mackenzie. She's super knowledgeable, kind and she didn't push any products or services on me which was nice. l I told her I'm bad at keeping up with new routines but did want to try some serums to help with my greasiness and my adult acne, so I left with a couple based on her recommendations. She even helped me label the bottles for time of day to use because I'm a total brain fart in the morning and after a long day of work. I appreciate little stuff like that. Okee - I'm done with my novel. Thanks for reading. See ya soon Xeba :)

What endears me to this shop is that it is housed in what used to be part of an old machine shop. It still has the original plaster and wood beams as well as old doorways for the upper levels of the old building. It just smells old and historic. You can't fake it. What I notice the most about this place is that it call itself a candle shop, but there's not many candles that are sold there. They sell LOTS of Dia de Los Muertos decorations, books, magnets, coffee mugs, post cards and other assorted items that are not candles. There is also an ofrenda that is up year-round. It is very beautiful. Don't get me wrong, I love this store and have bought many items from here. They also sell incense here. Here is where I leave with a slight headache because I cannot help myself and I HAVE to smell it all! If you are one of those people who are into the spiritual crystal guru thing, then this store is also for you as they sell a myriad of gems and necklaces. They take cash and card. I'm not sure if there are other payment forms like Apple Pay or Zelle accepted. I wanted to take pictures, but I didn't want to come off as someone who looked sketchy in their store! Give this cute little spot a try!

I had the entire odds against me in buying a house in Los Angeles with my partner who had quite poor credit. The first candle we got was Obstacle Remover, because we had all these impending debts on the credit scores that were preventing us from gettin a loan. Within TWO WEEKS, the disputes we sent out to the credit bureaus caused THREE credits to jump 100 points. I lit the Road Opener to create abundance. The Road opener provided us with THREE Brokers, THREE MORTGAGE OFFERS, and the most complicated request EVER- a property with multiple, separate, domiciled residences- a duplex, triplex, guesthouse- for under 900k. After so much discrimination, rejection, competition, and stress, as each of us was even in and out of LA during the whole process, we were submitting an offer when our real estate broker dropped us. At this point, I was so stressed that I had acquired a SUCCESS candle. we had found our dream home and had a 48 hour window to submit an offer. We were contacted. CONTACTED. by another broker who OFFERED to put it in for us. We put it in and ACQUIRED THE HOUSE. I can't say enough about HOI, this has happened CONSISTENTLY with all their candles. The management is ANGELS. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Suddenly, I do a google search and realize that Pan's Apothika (the spiritual successor to Pan Pipes) is literally a block and a half from where I live! This occult store has a very punk-witchy aesthetic with a hand-painted icon of Hekate, a statue of Baphomet and pentagrams formed with twigs and ribbon. It has all the staples of an esoteric store, so you can easily find candles, incense and crystals, along with jewelry, pins, stickers and patches. The clerk on duty was kind and willing to assist. In my case, I was just looking for some basics, but Pan's Apothika offers other services of the occult persuasion. And prices are actually extremely reasonable So give this place some love.

I'm in the valley so this was a long drive for me but extremely worth it. I'll be back very soon! I got about 13/14 candles for $45. A steal and totally worth the drive!!!
