I love this place! Ferociously so. They were so good, and my eyesight is now so sharp, NASA might…read moreuse me to fill in for the Hubble Telescope on Sundays and every other Wednesday. My new glasses are great, and they were already fit with an old band-aid to fix the crack in that piece across my nose. The eye drops were a trip- they say my pupils were so dilated whatever that means. but they looked a lot like my sister's when she comes home at 6am from these raves she talks about. Well I'm raving too. If it's not cloudy, I can see from Woonsocket to Westerly. Thank God, because I wouldn't want to drive that distance- that's a 4 day trip in RI and 2 hotel stops. Oh, and the offices were easy to find- literally right next to where Benny's used to be....even though really everything is next to where a Benny's used to be. So they said my vision was 20-15, can you believe it! Everyone was impressed but to be honest, I memorized the eye chart from iphone pix I took a few months earlier. Cool huh? Just don't tell them I cheated...or the lawyers of the dog owners whose pug I ran over one morning. Twice. He just wouldn't stay down. Fine. 3 times. But in fairness I lost a rim. They want to take me to court! Right. They'll never find me: I live in Woonsocket and their offices are in Westerly. I also hope they have a good sense of humor- like anyone reading this! ;-) Thanx, Charlie Ha....um just Charlie.

My eye doctor is amazing but their eye glasses are over priced! Better off purchasing from Warby…read moreClarke.

I came here with my friend and we had a blast shopping in there and finding all kinds of cute and quirky things to either gift or to use for ourselves! I highly recommend you stop here for some cute gifts! I bought baby shower and birthday items all in one trip! My friend bought some cute eye mask that look like the emoji eyes

I hate to provide a (long) bad review on a locally owned, independently run, woman-owned business…read more-- especially a store I've shopped at for 20 years and whose products I adore -- but I had such a disgusting experience here recently that I couldn't keep quiet. I went in with a friend last week - the first time since I developed brain damage. I was having some noticeable symptoms: trouble talking, a little hesitant with my movements and balance, and really sensitive to sound.  When we entered the store, the owner greeted us, and we said hello. We were the only customers at the time. I looked around a little bit, showed my friend something I was excited about (vacuum beads!), and then asked (after checking to see that we indeed were the only customers in the store) if it would be possible for her to turn the music down, seeing as I had brain damage, and despite wearing my noise canceling headphones, it was still a little louder than I could handle. She squinted her eyes me for a while, her mouth dropped opened with disgust, and then said, "I guess so."  She turned the music down.  I thanked her. I continued wandering the store looking at all the pretty things, still holding the vacuum beads I was planning on buying.  The phone rang, and she picked it up and started talking. I found what I was looking for (a powder puff), grabbed it, and continued shopping.  While she was still on the phone, the music came back on, and loudly.  At first I thought it it was an oversight, but after a few minutes, it was clear she had done this deliberately.  I went and put the vacuum beads back. At this point, I just wanted to get out of the store. Things got worse when I went up to the counter to pay for the powder puff. When I approached she didn't greet me, nor did she make eye contact. Her face read disgust.  I paid while trying to make some small talk, thanking her for turning the music down at the beginning, but she didn't respond.  She was cold and uninterested.  I took my change, and when we started to walk out, she accused me of stealing the vacuum beads. I told her I did not, that they were right where they originally were, as I had put them back.  I offered for her to search my bag.  She refused.  I offered for her to search me.  She refused, and then said, "Oh yes, I see them now. You can leave now."  I walked out stunned. I have never been treated like that by a store owner.  She probably doesn't remember interacting with me, but before I became ill, she used to be nice to me.    My friend went back inside to ask her why she had been so rude to me, as we had been the only people in the store, had purchased something, and had been quiet.  Sadly but  predictably, my friend didn't get a great answer.  The owner said she thought I was acting "weird and different."  Yeah, well, news flash: brain damage will make you act weird. I'm sorry I can't easily get words out and have hesitation in my steps. I waited 5 days and then returned the product with the receipt.  I knew that she wouldn't give us our money back, but I'll be damned if I would keep one thing of hers in my house.  She wasn't there, but we gave it to the employee (who was very kind). True, I didn't shop there often, but when I went in, she used to be pleasant to me. This time, she acted like I had a contagious disease and like my disability made me disgusting (not to mention a criminal).  Her attitude towards people who are different from her is something all religions would be ashamed of. I'll buy my bath products from Amazon.  In fact, I got the same powder puff $3 cheaper from Amazon, and I feel a hell of a lot better knowing I will never support such blatant ableist attitudes again.

Lauren is so kind and welcoming that I will definitely be coming back with my husband and kids. I was under the impression that you had to make reservations before coming here but now you can literally walk in when they're open and find a seat and enjoy yourself. You can also just walk in and shop. I highly recommend that you book your mom gatherings or just friend gatherings here at this cute little place and if you contact Lauren, you can even schedule a private event here for you and your friends or family.
