I immediately signed up for their newsletter and after seeing all the wonderful, natural items they had I knew I wanted to stop in. We were in the area killing some time before we had to pick up our doggos and we stopped in to check it out. The shop is easy to miss but is jam packed with so many goodies and amazing variety from candles, soaps, natural dryer balls, art work, body creams, you name it. The sassy candles that had caught my eye were amazing and exactly what I hoped for. I will be gifting these for Christmas for sure. I haven't been to a shop like this in recent memory and the quality of the products is absolutely top notch. I love to support high quality local shops and this place and the owner have so much charm- just check them out!

Maaike Hurst's mission: to hire and support victims of domestic violence. Just women. Sorry, not…read moresorry, she says. I'll get to the soaps and the rest in a minute, I just feel like I need to add something to the conversation. Hurst has been around the block, including a long stint in Washington state where she worked as a financial advisor. She'll tell you, if you ask, about some of the women she connected to, desperate to escape domestic abuse, but unable to speak or act due to threat of financial ruin. In this era of #MeToo, it's important to recognize that, for many women, probably the majority of the victimized, the risk of coming forward is far, far too real. The threat of poverty, particularly in the poorest state of the union, is literally life or death. So that's where she's hoping to make a difference, and her soaps and body products are the salve. As it happens, her products are terrific; she's all about softening, soothing, giving your body that buttah, baby. One or two drops of her body butter had my hands rejoicing all day. Delightful bath bombs. Terrific local art from, yeah, a pretty powerful woman. All in a space about the size of a big walk-in closet, hand-crafted and easy to warm up to, much like Maaike herself. The very first time I spoke with this woman I enjoyed her, and you'll enjoy spending a little more for better products that support a critical cause.

Nearly every single product I sampled and liked was out of stock, and samples themselves were musty and visibly appeared to harbor high levels of bacteria. However - I was happy to learn about their return policy! If you buy something and you aren't satisfied, you can exchange it. Floor employees were actually very helpful. Seems like management needs to do better with inventory and general cleanliness of the shelves. How can you expect to sell beauty products when the products themselves are messy, unsanitary, disorganized, and entirely out of stock???
