They have specials on the weekend sometimes where you can get a 50% off coupon. Watch for sales and specials. It seems like when they get corporate buyouts you can get some really sweet deals on almost brand new things. It is a little dingy, dusty and creepy feeling sometimes though as it is located next to the railroad tracks... i've been back a few times and have not found the selection of the corporate buyout items like I did two years ago, but maybe I am just not timing my visits right. The Denver store does seem to be the best one as compared to the Wheat Ridge and Aurora location. Happy shopping!

I am glad that I know about this place now, because for such a small shop they have a ton of great options for clean living. From makeup, to oils, herbs, soap, period products, and they even have loose leaf tea blends! I ended up getting the Libra tea, not just because I'm a Libra, but I saw the ashwaghanda root in there and was instantly sold. I'm excited to return, my next mission is to get shampoo and conditioner (they have several huge drums full) without all the chemicals and preservatives. I love the "fill your own bottle" style.
