My review is based solely on their body care item, specifically their whipped body butter…read more I came here because I wanted to look at their body care items. They have a really good variety of body care items. I was interested in getting their whipped body frosting, and was excited to see that some of them were being discounted because they were getting a different packaging. The first red flag should have been when I was trying to look at the oz of the jar and could not find it (I just looked at their website, and the amount is not listed there either). However, since it was on sale, I purchased some anyways. When I started using the product I realized that the jar is misleading because it looked like there was a decent amount of product, but the packaging itself is thick, you are not getting as much product as you think. If you were to use it daily on your whole body once a day, you will maybe get about 2.5 weeks use out of one jar. If it was not on sale, this would not be a good value to product ratio. At $17 a jar, if you were to use a jar up within 2 weeks, that comes out to $34 a month.

Adorable & Memorable Date Spot!…read more While visiting Old Town, my boyfriend took me to Toby's Candle & Soap Shop and it ended up being one of the cutest memories of our trip! I'm so glad he brought me here, but I sure wish I had taken more photos because the inside is so beautiful and peaceful. We got to dip our own candles in different color wax (so fun!) and picked up some of the best-smelling incense I've ever found -- and everything was super affordable! Amazing service, awesome prices, and the vibes were unmatched. Honestly can't wait to come back the next time I'm in San Diego!

We got a hello kitty backpack and my daughter went everywhere. She showed everyone her backpack. "Look at my backpack". She is so proud of that thing. Go to Aloha Scent and buy something cool.

My friend and I randomly stumbled upon this place while wandering around Carlsbad Village and…read morehonestly it was such a vibe! Super fun and lowkey therapeutic which was exactly what we needed. The staff were awesome, super friendly, and walked us through everything step by step. We got to pick our own vessels and scents which was honestly the best part. I mixed mango coconut and pineapple together and it smelled so good! We threw some glitter into the soy wax mix because obviously we had to and we even got to design our own labels which turned out so cute. The candle needed an hour to cool so we went off and explored the area and then came back to top them off with some stones. They turned out so pretty omg! The price was worth it! Oh and since I was giving mine as a gift one of the staff members tied a little ribbon on my bag without me even asking which was such a sweet touch.

It takes about an hour for it to dry, and they hold it for you so you can pick it up later. I recommend grabbing lunch nearby and walking around. It's a beautiful area where you can walk to the beach and enjoy some tasty food. The staff recommends waiting two days before lighting the candle. They were super helpful, and while it cost a bit more, it makes sense for the area. It was a great experience overall, and the staff was really nice. I also wanted to mention that I forgot my Stanley cup, and they were kind enough to hold it for me until I picked it up.

In the back room, my dad and I found some Lemon Lime Maranta plants and wanted to purchase them, but we didn't know much about them. Luckily the Lady was a wealth of information and we felt pretty reassured that we were well-informed, so we bought them! Mine has been thriving, so you know they know how to care for their plants!
