I have been looking for a new candle shop to go to. All my family and friends talk about Bath and…read moreBody Works candles, but I have never liked them. They smell very artificial to me and give me such a headache. When I walked into this beautiful candle shop today, my first question was are they environment friendly and they told me the ingredients and I thought yes, finally! I did not have time to make my own candle today so I bought what was on the shelves. I got mint leaf, windows down, and Bora Bora. I have Windows down burning right now in my enclosed patio and it smells like evening air! The Bora Bora, which smells like coastal tropical orange is burning in my dining room and smells so so good. I am so impressed with the scent these candles give, and how real and pure they smell. I can't wait to go back into this candle shop and mix my own.

The service, selection, and options were all so great! I loved the atmosphere. Fun, would do it…read moreagain!

I'm so glad I discovered Celebrate Local at Easton Town Center. As a lover of all things local,…read morethis place is like heaven. It's filled to the brim with locally made items, everything from food to clothing, home decor, jewelry, wine, and more. It's definitely a great place to shop for a thoughtful gift. You can certainly find something special here. On my last visit I walked out with a delicious sugar cookie and a jar of elderberry jam, both made right here in Columbus! The staff here is very informed on the items in the store and where they come from. They can also fill you in on the stories behind them, which is very cool. If you haven't stopped in for a visit, I suggest you make it a priority.

Came in for a quick thank you card!…read more Pros: staff were friendly and there's a lot of different paper products in the store. I also love hour airy it is inside. I settled a nice little card. Not exactly a thank you card but I guess it will do. Cons: the thank you section was a little slim. Meaning, there wasn't an abundance of choices. But, there's a lot of b-day cards and special holiday cards.

**It's YE Gurl -- flower-forward and fragrance-filled on May 10th **…read more While bopping around the **Hops on High Street Fair**, I caught sight of a parade of women twirling around with bouquets like flower-crowned woodland creatures -- and you know I had to follow the trail. It led me straight to **Blossom Flower Bar**, a new florist business that's clearly got the *soft launch meets cool girl era* vibe down. Think: **Trader Joe's DIY floral section** but with actual stylish florist folks on hand to help if you want a real-deal bouquet or guidance on your stems. The vibe? Youthful, jazzy, and blooming with potential. **What I grabbed:** An **exotic mix of flowers** -- the last of the bunch, since they'd opened early for the fair and I swung by post-lunch. A few stems, some not-yet-budded beauties, and a *slightly* picked-over selection still ran me **\$56 with tax**. Yes, that stung a bit, but listen -- **tariffs have upped your Mother's Day flowers by 30%**, so don't say I didn't warn you! Still, the bouquet is **thriving in my vase** days later, and I learned a little flower care too (no direct sunlight, y'all -- so off the kitchen counter and onto my coffee table they went). I don't quite understand the fascination of this city with food and drink, since the other reviews claim they can add it. Why? So you all can overstay your welcome in this shot gun style business? Come on now. Let's keep the drinks and food menu for private events and just learn to pack a sandwich people. LOL **Final thought:** With the plant girl aesthetic booming post-COVID, it's no surprise **florists are hip again**. But let's not forget to show the same support to these **mom-and-pop petal pushers** who bring beauty to the block one bouquet at a time.

I love that the menu gives you a recipe to make your bouquet and the prices per stem are also listed so you don't get sticker shock at the end. My Book Club went for a girls day to make bouquets, and we had a blast! They will let you bring your own alcohol and snacks in too. Definitely room for them to grow and offer their own food and beverage selections in the future though to add to the experience.

She'll mix it for you right there. Better yet, if your favorite perfume has been discontinued, she can mix it especially for you by foraging through the scent blend databases she has access to. Want a margarita scented bath fizzy? She has it. She made it herself. Looking for extra special, not-your-run-of-the-mill soy candle? She can custom make that for you too - or sniff away at the shelves to pick your favorite. Craving chocolate but not the calories? Try a chocolate fizzy drop, shaped and foil wrapped just like a giant kiss. Or the oatmeal bath cookies packaged in a stack and looking like they just came out of the oven. This is the perfect place to go for wedding and shower gifts, birthdays too! My favorite product? Her all natural insect repellent. Contrary to popular conceptions of the mosquito foiling stuff, this actually smells quite lovely. It reminds me of the lemon Lipton Brisk Iced Tea you used to be able to purchase in cans. I actually use this on my hairless dogs as well with no adverse effect. Best of all? it REALLY works.

In the corner of the store there is a station where you can fill your own Honey Grove bottle with bath salt or liquid soap. It's like sand art for the grown up...only it smells good. They stock soy candles, relaxation CDs, gift baskets and all the things you need to spoil yourself in the bath. They even have items to pamper the baby. If you know someone who really likes fragrant gifts, this is the place to go.

They are all ready for fall and just about to go full Christmas decor. Staff were not very friendly or helpful.

Absolutely fantastic bookstore…read more PROS: -Plentiful, easy parking. This is in a strip mall with lots of space, and tons and tons of parking space. -It doesn't feel like a "sit and read" kind of place. They have a few chairs near the front door for sitting, but I honestly enjoy the lack of a ton of sitting space. It feels like a place you can actually talk about books without feeling like a librarian is going to glare at you. -They have a bathroom! I know, fancy stuff. But legit, a lot of strip mall retail businesses don't have a bathroom. Storyline, specifically, has a single unisex restroom. It's clear this is/was the employee backroom, yet they leave it available to customers. Plus, complimentary feminine care products. Seriously, this is a level of care that needs to be shouted out. -Lots of book options. With limited shelf space, most of the "normal" books are single copies out on the shelf with "trendy" books having multiple copies for purchase. This maximizes the number of books available for purchase. -Really organized with gigantic hallways and walkways. No stairs to enter anywhere. A few of the bookstores in town feel super cramped; this one feels really spacious with skylight windows and lots of walkways. It feels so welcoming. Each "type" of bookshelf is really well-organized too, including clear shelf separation between "Fantasy", "Romance", and "Romantasy", really getting more granular than the "stereotypical" organization. -Littleton's Market, with its coffee shop is in the same strip mall. They have tons of seating over there if you want to take your book that way for reading. Crimson Cup is also down the street, though you'll need to drive to that one. -All the books look pristine. I didn't see a single copy that had bent pages or folded-over covers. -They have a cute tiny kid's rocketship in the children's book area, and it's like a super-small play space that could entertain a kid or two if parents wanted to browse books elsewhere. -It's a new bookstore, and the books are priced like new copies of the books. A few were on Kindle Unlimited, but for the ones that weren't, the prices here at Storyline were cheaper than buying on Amazon. We bought a couple, as I'm happy to support a small business in town, and I was just impressed to see that their pricing is so competitive to Amazon. CONS: -I really don't have a single thing. I'd love for it to have an attached coffee shop, but now I'm just changing their entire business plan on them.
