My friend introduced me to this lovely shop and I instantly fell in love. The price is so reasonable for its quality and design and I love the exclusive designs. This cozy store has wide variety of candles and soaps, with different designs and unique scents (like tomato leaves, my fav). It was my first time making candles and the whole experience was so much fun and went so smoothly, it was actually quite soothing overall. I am definitely returning and can't wait to try other designs next time!

Evie is the cutest person who genuinely cares about every pour, and will always suggest the best candle for you and your family. I used to always have a headache whenever I lit candles (which made it hard for someone who loves candles and scents), but ever since I started using Evie's candles, I haven't heard a headache and I haven't been able to go back to my old candles. You absolutely need to check Evie out if you live in the area, and if you're not, I believe she's launching her online store soon so STAY TUNED. THANKS EVIE FOR AN AMAZING CANDLE MAKING CLASS and FOR ALWAYS CARING ABOUT YOUR CUSTOMERS!!!!!!!

They've got quality and unique peices that aren't terribly expensive, plus they always have sales. My husband bought me the most adorable baby blue and brown wool plaid clutch that I think was about $30. I have gotten a ton of compliments on it. They don't carry alot of non-decor items but they had 5-6 different bags, and all were just as cute.

This time, they were extremely accommodating and dancing and singing to the holiday music. Maybe they just weren't in the festive spirit on my last visit. Anyway, they have rows and rows of candles and lotions, which makes the store smell delish. I'll definitely stop in the next time I'm in the market for yummy candles and lotions. Don't forget to check it out for some cute Christmas decorations.

A fun, limited run unique concept candle (old library books, salted pomelo, coffee), they have always thrown in a second sample candle (another typically unique scent with decent burn time, this time was birch black pepper - you could take like two baths on this bad boy), and a charming book of matches, and they write "thank you Amanda" by hand in cursive on the packing slip! How thoughtful, and it's $18 (free shipping). I sign up for it and the scent is a surprise so it really is like surprising yourself with something nice once a month. Support small businesses!

I absolutely love everything I have purchased from here. This is a wonderful place to buy gifts or something for yourself. They have a rewards program, which is really nice. They constantly are coming up with new unique scents every month. I recently smelled one. That was cool ranch Doritos scented- it sounds weird, but it really worked! Of course they have amazing classics and seasonal favorite scents as well. If you ever have an opportunity to take the candlemaking class, I highly recommend! It would be a great group activity and you get to make custom scents using their expertly crafted oils. I can't say enough nice things about this company. You have to check it out for yourself, you will not be disappointed!

I've been going to Botanica Victoria for a little over a year now, and it has truly become my go-to…read moreplace for anything spiritual. Whenever my energy feels off, I'll go in for a limpia (usually a couple times a year), and I always leave feeling lighter and more grounded. Victoria has read my palm before, and it was honestly so insightful and helpful. It gave me clarity and reassurance when I really needed it. She's incredibly patient, she listens, and she takes the time to explain things in a way that actually makes sense. No matter what question I come in with, she's always able to guide me or give me an answer that brings peace of mind. About a month ago was the first time I ever bought one of her baños, and the experience honestly blew me away. I usually do my own cleanses on my own, so I didn't know what to expect but after doing the New Year's Eve baño and completing the ritual, I felt such a strong and positive energy shift. It was incredible. Within an hour or two of doing the first part, it genuinely felt like something lifted off my spirit and something within me shifted in the best way. It was instant, grounding, and deeply healing. She also makes candles for just about any occasion, which is such a thoughtful and comforting touch. Her products are amazing, and you can really feel the intention behind everything she offers. The shop is run by Victoria and her grandson, and it's always such a joy walking in and seeing them both. They're both so welcoming, knowledgeable, and kind. It truly feels like a blessing to have someone with a real spiritual gift who uses it to help others. This is hands down my favorite spiritual place, and I'm so grateful to have found it.
