I first heard of Lifefactory's products at Whole Foods. I bought one of their 22 oz. glass water…read morebottle wrapped in this funky silicone sleeve and like them so much that I bought two more in my favorite color Orange. I prefer these glass bottles over all my Sigg Bottles when I'm working out or using them in the office. Only compromise is they are heavier since it is glass. And yes they are BPA free blahzay blahzay...etc. They are dishwasher safe and but even when I had a crack in one of the bottles after washing it. I contacted their customer service and spoke with Jackie and she was nice send me a replacement glass bottle after explaining what happened. Added bonus that they're a Bay Area co with a great product that offers value.

I have made some serious investments in their bottles and carried them with pride. Quite sadly, I have also broken two within two weeks. Really? After carrying one specifically for over two years? With hesitation, I called the company and shared my tale. I couldn't believe the response! They are sending me a full replacement for the one I busted today! I LOVE THEM! It's replacement will arrive later in the week. Alas a bit late for a journey. This is the only way I carry water. Off to the store to purchase another colorful set. Look! It has gone beyond a want to a need! I am sticking with Lifefactory! Thank you, Robert at Lifefactory for your quick response, patience and sense of humor.

From start to finish, I had such an excellent experience with Dare and Dazzle…read more * It was the only place that I could find within a few hours drive of me in northern NV that rents dresses and will let you try on that exact dress in-salon. The rental prices are so great, but I feel even the purchase prices are reasonable! I love supporting this woman-owned small business! * Their inventory is online, so I could prepare ahead of time to know what my favorites are and request them to be in-salon ahead of time. Spoiler alert: the dress that was my favorite online ended up being THE ONE! * They had plus-sized (or maybe mid-sized) inventory. It seems that they try to carry all sizes up to 20 for most, if not all, of their dresses. I ended up being a size 20 (I'm an XL or size 14 in regular clothes), so I topped out the size range. I do wish it could be a bit more size-inclusive there. I had gained a little weight after my fitting and before my wedding and had a lot of anxiety about me potentially not being able to fit in it, and there being no larger size. (It ended up fitting, thank you corset!). * I made an appointment online, instead of being forced to call on the phone, which I greatly appreciate as an autistic introvert! On that note too, all communication after my dress purchase in-salon was done via email. I sense the owner may be an introvert too haha! * They really treated my guests (in-person and Facetime!) and me like we were the only ones that mattered and let us try on anything that was picked. The owner, I believe her name is Hien, took her time and walked me through trying on different dress types, to get an idea of the shape I wanted. She left my favorite dress for last, the one I ended up picking! * There is a very sweet and talented hair and makeup artist Alexa that showed up for my appointment who gave me a free consult, even though my wedding was out of state and I wasn't going to be able to use her. I now follow her on social media! Seeing myself in THE DRESS with a quick but beautiful hair and makeup look gave me the whole picture, and made me more confident that I was picking the right dress. * Hien offers tailoring a bustle on and height tailoring based on your heel height, for a very reasonable additional cost. * The shipping to me was perfect, it arrived a few days ahead of when we needed it. The box even had a handle to make carrying it around the venue much easier! * I did have it steamed by professionals a few days before the wedding, and I'd say that's necessary as it does come with a few creases, naturally. * The box it came in had a prepaid shipping label inside, so all I had to do the day after the wedding was put it back inside the box it came in, tape it up, and put it in the mail! The people who steamed it ended up not returning the box, so while they were frantically trying to find it, I emailed Hien that there was a possibility I needed their address to mail it myself, and she responded next day with a new prepaid label. So nice! (The professionals found the original box though). It ended up getting delivered back to them in a week, through the holiday shipping mess. * Most importantly, I got SOOOOO many compliments on the dress, not only from my guests, but also from tens and tens and tens of people that we walked by on our wedding day photo shoot. I felt the most gorgeous I've ever felt in my life, like a glamorous old-school Hollywood movie star, and the dress (Malala) played the biggest role in that. Thank you Hien and Alexa for preparing me for my dream day!

I have had my eyes on this shop for a while now, and it exceeded my expectations far more than I…read morecould have ever imagined! The shop is beautiful and perfectly sized for a private bridal party. I was in awe as soon as I walked in. Its design is well thought out and thoughtfully put together. The ceiling is high, and it feels magical to walk into. Hien is amazing to work with. I felt beautiful in all of her amazing gowns. She listened to what I wanted and was able to pull the dress that ended up being my Yes to the dress! The gowns are made to be rented and have built in bras and corsets that allow the perfect fit for people of all sizes. It was nice to be able to find my dress and know how I would look and feel in it without having to think of alterations. I was able to have a private appointment with 7 of my bridesmaids/family. We brought our own champagne and spent a little over two hours trying on dresses. It was a really fun experience for everyone. A few of my bridesmaids were able to try on some bridesmaids dresses as well. Dare and Dazzle offers a sustainable and affordable wedding gown option. They are a small Asian owned business with a lot to offer to the wedding industry. The gowns are incredibly well made. They are the quality of a $2k+ gown at a fraction of the cost. I can't rave about them enough and I hope more brides can find this shop to rent (or buy) the dress of their dreams!

The first few minutes is educational and very informative to what goes in to make your scent. You will spend most of the time smelling various oils. I had no idea that it can take up to 9 oils just to make one scented candles. Her materials are natural. This class felt "high-end" due to the attention and the hundreds of oils to choose from. She can accommodate up to 12 people. The store is filled with candles separated by their main scents, like ocean, fruity, etc. It's in the heart of downtown Napa. Highly recommended.

Just an updated review on Shadi and his custom shirt business! Now give him time (be patient!),…read morebecause he is a one man crew! Definitely give him a deadline for the shirts and he will execute! I just picked up my large order (17 team shirts, all with same front logo and individualized backs) and am thrilled with the quality! Prior to going in person to order, I thought of ordering online but did not want to wait, wanted to see the quality and product first, also looked at other custom shirt companies but they either had a minimum # of shirts required or a disclaimer that the order will be ready in 7-10 days. Also, prior to this, I went to another shop which said they weren't able to screen print my logo because it was 2 different colors..it was a basic orange and white color! But Shadi said he could.

As a first timer, she made me so so comfortable right off the bat. In addition to a wonderful experience with Riley, the boutique itself was so darling and curated with the cutest stuff!

This is a warning to brides considering getting a tan here for their wedding day…read more I really wanted to have a positive experience here because the women working in the studio were genuinely very sweet and welcoming. Unfortunately, the overall experience -- and especially how the situation was handled by the owner -- was very disappointing. After my spray tan appointment (2/26), my hands and elbows developed significant orange discoloration and looked extremely splotchy. Before the appointment I specifically expressed concerns about transfer, since I had an upcoming bridal event, and I was reassured that with the clear solution there would be no transfer after the first rinse. However, two days later -- after completing four rinses and carefully following all aftercare instructions -- the tan transferred badly onto a brand new white dress that cost nearly $300, leaving visible stains that now require professional dry cleaning. This was incredibly upsetting and stressful, especially since I purchased a package of four sessions specifically to prepare for my wedding. Because of the poor results and the damage to my dress, I no longer felt comfortable continuing with the remaining appointments. The owner only refunded the unused portion of the package and never felt the need to reach out directly to me to apologize for the experience. Given the circumstances and the damage caused, I felt a full refund would have been the appropriate and fair resolution, but that was not offered. I want other brides to be aware that there is a real risk your tan could transfer and stain your beautiful expensive wedding dress -- even days later and after multiple rinses. For something as important as your wedding, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere for spray tanning services.
