    Lots of candles
    Manta K.

    Bee Natural is a hidden gem in Reading Terminal, offering locally made candles, soap, lip balms, lotions, and honey. All items are made with locally sourced beeswax. There are many scents to pick from. My favorite is their Lavender Vanilla candle. If you are a lip balm aficionado, there are 20 different flavors to choose from, ranging from pizza (seriously!) to honey. I personally have not tried any of them but know friends who love them and at $2.50 they are a steal. If you ever find yourself in Reading terminal and are looking to try some locally made items please give them a try. The only reason I'm knocking off a star is due to their archaic online store. If they upgraded it, I'm sure they would do really well! Pro tip: check in on Yelp to get a coupon for your purchase!

    As a lover of honey, had to check this place out, from handmade candles, honey lip balm, and honey flavors glaroe: Blueberry, Wildflower, Almond, Lavendar, and Advocado which threw me for a curve ball being a fan of advocados to cook with regularly. If your at Reading Terminal, be sure to check out the shop.

    Bee Natural in Reading Terminal Market has really good honey from their farm in Smyrna, Delaware. Whenever I cook my honey mustard chicken and get honey from Bee Natural it tastes so much better than store bought honey. The owner is a really nice guy (and not just because he's from Delaware) and the quality of his product is evident. Bee Natural has several flavors of honey and raw honey available in jars and those cute little bear shaped containers as well as honeycombs. They also have candles, skin care products, and gift baskets.

    Candles for $5! love it. love them. Also BEE POLLEN is deliciously addictive. I know right - super novel - but it's actually been a delicacy to humans since like The Egyptians were born. The granules taste like bitter-honey-sugar yumsies. Also can be mixed in water and applied to skin to clear up acne and cuts. I just put mine in my lemon-cayenne-apple cider vinegar-seltzer detox concoction and it is now my new Kombocha. I could make a joke about "buzzing" or "bee"-ing awesome but I'm too cool for that.

    4 candles for $20 or $6 a piece. They had a number of different types and flavors of honey as well. We shall see how well they burn.

    They used to be a good customer, then they didn't pay a bill on a large order. Won't return calls or emails. Don't trust them.

    How much are their honey combs?

    11oz of honey comb is $20. It’s definitely a generous 11 ounces!

    Yes. It's from Smyrna, Delaware.

    And since they are made of beeswax (+ other natural ingredients), you can burn them for hours without fear of inhaling toxic chemicals.

    Absolutely disappointing and unprofessional.

When we asked some simple clarification questions he told us he could t work with us anymore, ran away and disappeared, with only a couple months before the wedding leaving us without a ring. The diamond we gave him to use when it came back was clearly substituted with another cheaper one, and our inquiries went unanswered. This is theft, and these folks are un trustworthy and not a professional operation or interested in any kind of respectful and honest customer service. Stay clear of them and work with someone more on the level.

    This place is neither a workshop nor underground but I'm not going to hold that against it. What it…read moreis is an adorable little shop with some really cute jewelry that's actually affordable (3 pack of studs for $20, yes please), trinkets that would make great gifts (hello lighter with 8track design and penguin shaped cocktail mixer), and some great hats and ear muffs that are on sale right now, just to give some examples. They're also going to be adding some plant life to their selection. Staff was friendly but not too pushy, and even offered me a mimosa while I shopped! Genius business plan. I bought some really cute earrings and I feel like they were discounted because of that drink, that's how that works right? Great place to kill time while you're waiting 45 minutes for Little Spoon/The Cambridge to call your name.

Nestled side by side with the 'Christmas Village' market the Made in Philly has many small stalls selling candles, clothes, ornaments, food drink both hard and soft, and is a great place to shop for the season. While the 'the Christmas Village is more international and mass produced. Made in Philly is, as the name implies more local business and more artesian. If you're looking for that holiday something that screams local pride, this is it! Besides being smaller than the Christmas village the Made in Philly market is a little more relaxed. There are more areas to sit down and let your mind wander and abutting the Rothman ice rink you're not just limited to shopping and dining. I would recommend going during the day and going early in the season as the site gets busier in the evenings as commutes stop off and on the weekends. You may also find stocks not dwindling as the season rolls on as these are produced locally. Afterall it's easier to get a shipment in from Fishtown than something going to the Christmas Village from Dresden or Stockholm! Also they do not seem to have the problems with a uniform form of payment that is a both in the Christmas village. The one real downside here is the limited selection. While smaller than the Xmas Village there is also a sameness to some of the stalls, there's only so much you can do with scented candles.

    Overall a fun holiday market with the standard things you'd expect (candles, bath/lotion items,…read morejewelery). A little bit crowded when I went the Friday before xmas. A good number of visitors not masking. I highly recommend using the portapotties outside rather than the bathrooms inside, as the portapotties were surprisingly very clean and had no line, while the indoor bathroom had a long line of 50% unmasked individuals and some stalls had no toilet paper. Loud music may make this less than ideal for people with babies.

Also, this lovely boutique is woman-owned and I love their branding. First, the decor is everything and I wanted everything! I went in a few mins before they closed on a beautiful Sunday evening. The young lady that worked there was very attentive and answered all my crazy questions. I met the owner (I did not know it was her at the time; so down-to-earth and sweet). My experience here was really nice. Ritual Shoppe has mystical items, apothecary (also pink LOL), beautiful fine jewelry, etc. I am definitely looking forward to visiting again and spending more time looking at more of what the shop offers.

    So when I moved to Philly from Miami, I was sad to say goodbye to my local spiritual shop called…read moreGolden Triangle in Coral Gables. It had all things yoga and metaphysical in there and I loved it. From pretty quartz crystals to Tibetan singing bowls to incense, they had everything and anything. I've been wanting to find a shop similar in Philly and this one is like that but on a smaller scale and a bit more high end. I'm sad that they are going to be transitioning to being more of a pop up but I'm glad I still was able to stop by today. Probably not the best idea because I ended up spending more money than I intended to but it's for a good reason/investment into self care and spiritual protection (which I think we could all benefit from). What I appreciated most was how most of the things in there were handcrafted and curated by artisan jewelry makers or small business owners. The selection varies from intentional candles to crystals to rings to bath items but they all held special intentions and purposes like cleansing, healing, protection, etc. It all does seem a bit witchy , but it had good vibes. I don't consider myself to dabble in witchcraft (though I think some people do). I'm more about prayer, goal setting, and self care and spirituality which often gets confused for being withchery or sorcery which is sad, but I think it's how you use those kinds of things. You can tell the store had good vibes and promotes positivity and self care which I'm all about. I believe they are going to use it as a community space and will eventually host workshops which I'm excited about. I'm just really happy I stumbled upon it when I did and that I found some unique items in it. They are on the pricier side but again totally worth it. Investing in your mind and body is important, but your spirit in my opinion needs just as much tending to so I'm glad I was led in this direction. I was actually heading somewhere else entirely and landed at this place. Coincidence? I think not :) Happy Yelping! Note that they also have cute greeting cards and books. It's not just all spiritual stuff, but other cute Knick knacks too.
