Surprise Lily Boutique: Where Self-Control Ceases to Exist…read more You ever walk into a boutique just to "look around" and suddenly you're handing over your card like it's Monopoly money?? Yeah, that's Surprise Lily Boutique. The selection?? Too good. Every rack is filled with cute, stylish, and wearable pieces--the kind that make you say, "Oh, this? Just something effortless I threw on" (but secretly, you know you look amazing). Whether you need a casual slay, an effortless day-to-night moment, or a statement piece that makes your ex rethink their life choices--this boutique has THE outfit. And the vibe?? A+ all around. The shop is beautifully curated, welcoming, and the kind of place where you actually enjoy shopping--not just running in and out. The best part? The owner. The sweetest, most helpful human who makes you feel like you're shopping with your most fashionable bestie. No pushy sales energy--just great recommendations, good vibes, and the occasional you NEED this moment (which, spoiler: she's always right). Final thoughts: If you haven't been to Surprise Lily Boutique yet, I have questions. Like, why are you depriving yourself of this experience?! Go now, buy the thing, and prepare to be obsessed. Your closet will thank you.

This is place that I can't imagine anyone saying anything bad about!…read more They were so busy and yet so organized. I went in by myself as I was dying of curiosity, and there was a large party and a couple of small groups. I selected my scents - and selected too many, so got some help winnowing down. One of the staff walked me through the candle making process and they even give you fun glitter to put in it, so it looks like a little glitter mountain is burning! The essential oil scents are widely varied and they don't just have candles- you can make anything from dryer balls to body spray. I had an extra candle made for a friend, and they will keep my scent combo for a time, so I can always return to have more made! You've got to go back in to pick up the candle the following day, but it is worth it.

This time we learned that you can also make your own lotion and hand soap. I'm not sure how we missed that the first time. We both made a couple hand soaps this time. The service was superb even though they were very busy. The only negative thing I would say this time is that we waited for our candles to cool while talking on their couches. Typically, it should be 1 hour. After 1 &1/2 hours, we asked about our candles and they already had them ready and stored away in the closet. They said they didn't know we were there.

Stephanie did a great job of telling us about her business as well as candle safety. We were able to add scents and colors as well as stickers and jewels.

It was a lot of fun to go out with the ladies I work with and my candles smell amazing!

From the owner: The Candle Barn Company specializes in handcrafted home fragrances, including scented candles, wax…read moremelts, room sprays, home decor, and gifts. Our candles are hand-poured and made using only the best soy-blend wax and fragrance oils. Our wax melts offer a flameless fragrance option without sacrificing our specially crafted scents, and our selection of wax melt warmers double as home decor while filling your home with fragrance. Our room sprays are an excellent way to freshen your space and neutralize odors instantly. We also offer a selection of home decor, stationery, and giftable items for any occasion. We can create candles and wax melts with custom labels for your private event (i.e., weddings, birthdays, retirements), and offer bulk discounts on large orders. We regularly host Paint and Pour ticketed events where customers create custom candles and complete a craft or painting project while the candle dries. These events are great for girl's night outs, birthdays, anniversaries, and corporate events. We also have multiple fundraising opportunities for non-profit and not-for-profit organizations that give us a way to give back to our community meaningfully. Additionally, we are always looking to expand our wholesale partners in Kentucky and beyond. Our business is a Kentucky Proud member. Our products are available in multiple retail stores throughout many states, or you can shop online 24/7!

I had been to a similar type store before but I liked Sea Love so much better. What I loved the most was that there was a wall of hundreds of scents and you pick 3 to create your own blend. I like musky/smoky scents and my fiancé prefers light, clean scents so we were able to create our own unique blends. There were about a dozen or so "vessels" (jars) to choose from with the prices ranging $35-$50 depending on the size and material. The worker when we went, Giovanna, was friendly and knowledgeable and made our experience a ton of fun. This is perfect for a date, a girls day, or even something fun to do with a group.

You can make your own candle and they have a wall of scents to choose from. A beautiful counter with stools are along the back wall for you to mix your candle. I love that it offers a shopping experience as well. There's a few clothing items, premade candles, bath salts, soaps, jewelry, colognes, diffusers, and more. We picked up a few things, including the softest sweatshirt on discount from valentines. The shop is tucked in the Westport Village with plenty of parking plus other shops and restaurants to make the candle making experience a full day of entertainment. Also, the owner of the shop was lovely! So friendly and upbeat, plus attentive to her customers. #shoplocal

Delightful shopping with limited hours for the storefront (online available 24/7). The shop hours…read moreare listed as Saturday 9-5 though they offered Sunday hours this past week. The storefront is small making social distancing an issue. The staff are properly masked as were the shoppers. Curbside pick up is offered and recommended for at risk groups due to the small shop size. Now onto the offerings. Rightly so, the store windows and shelves are full of colorful images. It almost looks like an old-fashioned candy shop. They do have some candies available but the emphasis is more on pampering your bodies with bath salts, bombs and soaps. Very clever and enticing options that look like donuts, geodes and milkshakes. In this time of stress all of us could benefit from or gift a blissful experience for the body and soul. I even found some more masculine 'flavors' for my husband. Chocolate Shower Truffles anyone? (No calories!). Another lovely thing to note is that this store is owned by a young teen who took a tragic loss journey to a healing place and is now sharing it with us. And it is obvious she has a family actively supporting her. Grandmother demonstrated her favorite product for us. Besides Kayla Marie's own crafted products, she offers some other favorite from small companies. This shop is near Douglass Loop with the typical parking difficulties for that area.

They not only offer candle making but other types of candles premade to take home just whenever a special occasion comes around . Do you have a special scent that you would love?

Whatever works for your needs. It's best to schedule online. Whatever value you place on this process is on a priority basis. We had a lot of fun. For the candle lover most importantly. The value is reasonable to other candle making companies. The service of the process is way above what is required. The customer service is very generous. Now we have a scent to cuddle by together.

The two companies have a partnership. Paint pottery there & fill candle here for $35.00. Sierra was only staff present. Only a couple and myself there. She greeted me as soon as I entered & got me started with the process. She balanced proving service with me & other guests very well. She provided clear instructions & eventually I had a one-on-one experience. She answered all of my questions about this new business. It's clear she's passionate about being there and enjoys what they offer. She confirmed that this business is owned by a black woman. I love supporting all women in business! I filled the two jars I came with and added another as a gift for my Mom. Pour process was very easy and mess-free. I like the variety of scents and candle jars available. I feel like there is really something for men & women. There space can accommodate moderately large size groups (up to 60 people). I definitely want to return during their self-care Sundays and get some body butter or other body item. I'm very pleased with my selections. I burned one candle already & it smells great & my living room space was filled perfectly with the scent I created in the air! I really appreciate that they keep good records of customer creations so that I can replenish when needed.
