I visited Key West in June 2015 and stopped in to Purely Paradise because I love soaps and scrubs…read more I purchased the Honey & Lip scrub and the Mango Coconut Hand & Body Sea Salt scrub. I like the Honey & Lip Scrub...it works well, has a pleasant taste and wasn't too rough on my lips. I did not have a good experience with the Mango/Coconut Hand & Body scrub. I hope that I just got an old bad batch because this stuff was terrible. Firstly, the mango/coconut smell was negligible...not that important but it would have been nice if the scrub had actually smelled like its name. I think the oil used was old because it was insanely sticky and not oily. It also smelled like old oil. The sticky film that was left on my body was not easy or fun to remove. I went through two disposable razors (my hair mixed with the sticky residue was a nightmare to clean) and ruined a perfectly good loofah trying to get the muck off of my body. I also spent a ridiculous amount of time scrubbing my shower floor. I hate to leave a bad review but I hope the owner will take note and correct this. It was not a good experience.

At the End of the Line: How Walgreens' Supply Chain Fails Key West Patients…read more Living in Key West--and living aboard a sailboat--means accepting certain realities. Groceries cost more. Deliveries take longer. We are, quite literally, at the end of the road. What should not be part of that bargain is going without life-sustaining medication. Yet that has become my experience at Walgreens. As a patient who depends on daily medication, I routinely wait three to four days after placing a refill order before it is actually available for pickup at my local Walgreens. During that time, I have had to go without my medication entirely. When I asked why this happens so often, a pharmacist explained that Key West sits at the southernmost end of Walgreens' supply chain. Shipments arrive later, inventory is thinner, and delays are common. That explanation may describe the logistics--but it does not excuse the consequences. For patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes, missed doses are not an inconvenience. They are a health risk. The problem is compounded by how Walgreens dispenses insulin. Long-acting insulin such as Lantus is typically prescribed as a 30-day supply, but because it is sold in fixed, sealed packages, many patients receive closer to 20 days' worth per fill, depending on their dose. Insurance copays are charged per prescription fill, not per month. The result is predictable: two pharmacy visits, two copays, and more opportunities for delay. In a place like Key West--where even Walgreens acknowledges that we are last in line for deliveries--that structure becomes dangerous. If your refill is delayed by several days and you were already given less than a month's supply, you don't just pay more. You run out. Walgreens will point out, correctly, that it does not manufacture insulin, that it cannot break sealed packaging, and that insurance rules govern copays. But those explanations miss the larger issue: Walgreens chose to operate a national pharmacy model that does not adequately account for geographically isolated communities like ours. If a company is going to dominate the pharmacy market--closing competitors, centralizing fulfillment, and cutting staffing--it also assumes responsibility for ensuring reliable access. In Key West, alternatives are limited. When Walgreens is delayed, patients don't simply go across the street. We wait. Or we go without. This is what profit-driven efficiency looks like at the edge of the map. Inventory kept lean to control costs. Refills routed through distant supply chains. Patients absorbing the risk when the system fails. Public health experts have long warned that gaps in medication access lead to higher emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and preventable complications. That risk is magnified in communities with fewer providers and fewer pharmacies. Key West may be a tourist destination, but for those of us who live here year-round, it can feel like a pharmacy desert with palm trees. Walgreens likes to describe itself as a healthcare partner. Partners do not tell patients to wait several days for essential medication. Partners do not design systems where people pay more and receive less--and then blame geography. If Walgreens intends to serve communities like Key West, it must do better. That means maintaining adequate local inventory, aligning insulin dispensing with real-world dosing, and treating access as a health obligation rather than a logistical afterthought. Because at the end of the supply chain, the cost of delay is paid not only in dollars, but in days without medicine--and in a higher risk of diabetes-related illness and death.

Next thing I know she cut my hair at the chin. She gave me a short bob- after she made the first cut I said I wanted to keep it in a ponytail. Why are you cutting it so short oh don't worry it'll grow in. It'll grow in nicely. She cut 4 inches off the side. There was nothing else I could do about the rest of it. I will never go back there, and I will never recommend them to anyone. Randall seems like a very nice guy sad that he has someone working there that couldn't follow a simple direction for a trim.
