I'm not a big craft person, mainly because I lack the skills needed to get crafty. However, there…read morehave been times I've needed to get some stuff for my sad attempts at being creative. Big box stores have pretty much everything you need, but navigating the aisles is a nightmare. You could circle the store three times before you find what you're looking for. So when I was given the task of buying some scrapbook material for a friend's wedding shower, I was absolutely dreading going to the store. That is, until I remembered passing by this store on a recent walk. Hoping I didn't have to go anywhere else, I stopped inside. It's like a scrapbooking heaven in there. Plenty of different papers, stamps, stickers, tape and anything else related to scrapbooking that you can think of. Of course, I had no idea what the "right" thing to get was, but luckily the woman behind the counter was super helpful. I told her what I needed and she helped me out, explaining what each thingamabob does and what would work best. She saved me like 20 minutes of staring at this stuff and looking like a doofus. She also saved me a trip to the big box store. Hooray! If you're looking for scrapbook stuff, I highly recommend stopping here first. It's a small shop, but they have a lot of stuff and you'll get attention from the staff instead of trying to hunt someone down. Check the hours before you go, because they close different hours each day.

Be Nude Candle Co is the most perfect place for birthday parties, bachelorette parties, or literally any fun event you wanna do. I can't even begin to tell you how much everyone loved making their candle here and how amazing this whole establishment is. Natasha and her daughter were beyond informative, funny, personable, helpful, and were just such great hosts. Natasha walked us through the whole process from start to finish and gave us such creative freedom, all while helping with every step. The place itself is spacious and PERFECT for events for 10-20 people. The sunflower wall with the swinging seat is such an adorable addition to the place (perfect for cute pics, too!), along with the grassy wall with the lit up #BEnude sign. The actual candle making was something I will 100% do here again - we got to be little scientists for the day and we all loved it. From mounting your wick, to creating your scents and color of your candle, to pouring it in your vessel, the whole process was enjoyable and creative. I seriously can't wait to come back here for another event. Be Nude Candle Co is one of the best businesses out there!

This activity surely can be bonding time . It could be a fun girls night out. It could be a fun couple's night bridal shower, birthday party, baby shower gifts, whatever you wanted to be We love the cool setup and we were running around all over snapping pics and she was so nice and kind to even create some memorable Instagram boomerangs for us as well.

I'm so happy we chose Abby Flowers as our floral vendor. The owner Natalia made everything seem…read moreeffortless, she was amazing at staying in touch and keeping the communication open, she had great ideas and suggestions for our vision, and she made sure we stayed within our budget. We had a specific kind of tablescape for our reception that could only be set up after the ceremony, and her staff came back to set up the tables hours after they had done the original drop-off. I was concerned that the venue coordinators wouldn't be able to create exactly what Natalia and I had talked about, so knowing that her amazing staff would be setting it up eased my concerns. I had a specific image of our flowers in my head, and Natalia seemed to understand the type of atmosphere we wanted to set from the beginning. I was so excited when I saw the bouquets, she had added some other flowers/greenery that fit our wedding so perfectly, and my bouquet ended up being even more beautiful than what I envisioned!! Even our venue coordinator asked for pictures of our reception set-up, and everyone commented on how beautiful the reception was. I would recommend Abby Flowers and Natalia over and over to anyone who wants beautiful, unique floral arrangements without breaking the bank.

With a brand named LIFETHERAPY, it comes as no surprise at how warmly I was greeted upon entering…read more Witnessing the life, love and care that is given to create and package these products makes me happy that I made the drive. I was encouraged by Andrea to freely explore; touch, smell and try the products and I did. Some scents grabbed hold of me more than others. My favorite scent is still Grounded; the fragrance notes include fresh citrus, heliotrope (flower), dry amber, calming rose and vanilla. The combination blended together wont allow me to pull away from it. It layers well and is light yet lingering. This scent makes me feel pretty and gives me LIFE. I am a true believer in practicing self care and believe it translates to self love. We all have to do better about making ourselves a priority. The more we do, it allows others to see our light. A glow that starts from within. Lifetherapy believes in intentional self nurturing by providing products that care equally for body and mind. Their products are vegan friendly, chemical free and made with love. Six different scent therapies to choose from; Grounded my favorite; a scent my husband also enjoys, Energized, Inspired, Loved, Transformed and Empowered. Lifetherapy also makes products to make your home smell amazing; reed diffusers, soy candles and Ha Ko paper incense. More recently they added car diffusers and I grabbed one. If you are ready to elevate your scent game and "choose your mood" then a visit to Lifetherapy will surely help. Appointments are highly recommended. Or plan to visit between the hours of 9-3. You may also order online.

Also, the variety of selenite charging plates is awesome and the price is right. In addition to a good selection, everyone who works in the shop is very friendly and helpful. I picked their brains while browsing the crystals and they were more than happy to share their knowledge and personal experience. You can tell their employees have practical knowledge and aren't just reciting information from cards. There are also "mystery bags" available near the front counter, which another customer recommended. They are available in $20, $50, and $100 price points and hold more value than their respective prices. I plan to check one out when I get the chance. I purchased an array of products, and they seemed fairly priced and of good quality. Overall, this shop is worth a stop if you're looking for crystals, incense, smudge sticks, or anything spiritual or metaphysical.

You can clearly tell that these are real, MINED crystals and the prices are very good. I always recommend this shop to my friends, and it is definitely the place to go if you're looking for real and reasonably priced crystals
