You're greeted when you enter and they explain the process. The was of scent choices was amazing. After making your list of scents, you narrow it down to three. You then mix those three scents. You create a name for your scent and put it in a label. Lastly is the poring. Finally you come back an hour and a half later to pick up your lovely creation. Will do again!

Went here as a group outing for work. The staff is helpful and engaging. First you smell a LOT of…read morescents and write down several you like the best. Then you pick what you want to create. There are candles, sugar scrubs, body lotion, hand soap, room spray, reed diffusers and wax melts. Then you sit down and the staff gathers your scents and lets you smell them together and makes recommendations for which ones go together best but ultimately it is your choice. I made a body lotion. I tried it today. It's light and absorbs nicely. You can definitely smell it but I wouldn't personally cal it overpowering. It was a fun experience. Note that this is not a "class". They don't teach you to make the candles and whatnot. They help you come up with an individualized scent for them and then you do get to mix it all together.

She didn't say it in a rude tone, but what the.... I get it. Your into crystals and magic. You may even believe yourself to be a witch, but my two year daughter is not a sacrificial lamb or something to hanged by her toes. I just awkwardly smiled and walked out the store.

Don't sleep on your local bookstores!…read more We participated this morning in a group walk and afterward, of course we had to stop into the bookstore! It's basically the law - you're in San Marco square, you go to San Marco book store. The book selection is ever evolving so there is always some new treasure to discover among the stacks. And often, I find books in there less expensive than Amazon. And there is a selection of books with author signatures as well, for no additional cost. Some of the signed ones have been ordered from the publisher, but a good portion of those come from live author events the book store participates in. There are so many wonderful events you can attend here, like the author signings mentioned above (and of course a slew of other things) And often, those authors will sit for a chat. I discovered a new favorite author when I accidentally stumbled into one of those events. It was neat to hear her discuss her book and answer some great questions. The. Store is also very involved in the community around them which I love. (The owner even participates in the group walks in the area sometimes!) They also partner with the library for some larger author signings and other events. If you love reading, this is a must visit!
