Whenever I'm in Reno, I always stop by and look at their hand wired crystal necklaces and new crystals! I have one in almost every color by now ANDD I don't feel bad because I'm supporting a local business. The "bang for your buck" is totally worth it. They do community events, scavenger hunts, giveaways, collaborations, reiki sessions to sound baths and MORE. They're LGBTQ+ friendly and love the community. I mean really...WHO ELSE is doing this?! The Helping Moon is a MUST visit if you're going to Reno, or even anywhere near by. Customer service is amazing, and I can't help but feel like a witch who struck magic gold with finding such an amazing little crystal shop.

She also makes incredible custom character macarons that are really impressive. I'm already wanting to place another order. I don't think she has a website yet, but she has a Tiktok and Instagram account. I believe she is also at Riverside Farmer's Market too.

Super creative! Very nice and always happy to please. Macaroons are tasty and fresh. Love her!!read more

If you haven't ever used beeswax candles, the burn time is so much longer than other candles. I purchased the Tropic Citrus scent and I am so in love.

Brooke who is the owner she is just the sweetest friendliest person that you could come across and she has turned an idea into a reality and it's pretty nice. You walk up into the truck I don't know really what else to call it and there's earrings, hats, shorts, dresses, everything is nice and neat and displayed well and her little dressing room area is absolutely adorable. Her items are very reasonably priced she says she does not have anything over $100. I I personally think this is a fantastic concept and you should go look at her website, or send her an email if you have an event coming up and you want to do something a little different.

This place felt like Willy Wonka opened a milkshake bar for the Instagram generation…read more We stopped by Black Rock Dessert while looking for ice cream and instead found milkshakes on steroids. We ordered the Dust Storm: a vanilla milkshake with chocolate bits, topped with a giant blondie skewered dramatically on top, plus whipped cream, sprinkles, and chocolate drizzle. The rim of the jar was coated in marshmallow dip and graham cracker crumbs because apparently subtlety has left the chat. Honestly, the presentation was on point and exactly the kind of milkshake kids dream about. Which is why we ordered it. My tween declared it "the best milkshake I've ever seen in my life," and honestly, that alone made it worth the stop on our mother-daughter trip. Taste-wise, it leaned very sweet for me and didn't have a ton of flavor depth beyond sugar overload. But clearly the goal here is maximal fun and aesthetic, and they absolutely nailed that. It's basically a photo op you can drink. The shop itself was surprisingly quiet when we visited in the evening--we had the whole place to ourselves--but there were games to play while waiting for our order (we pulled out Pick Up Sticks, which transported me straight back to my 90s childhood living room). The ladies at the counter were also incredibly kind and patient explaining the menu and flavors to us. If you're looking for an over-the-top dessert experience your kids will talk about for days, this is your place.
