My husband and I stopped by The Helping Moon last week and picked up a few crystal cuties as gifts…read more They were having a 35% off "rehome" sale, which made it even more fun to explore and bring a few beauties home! Alex, one of the owners, was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. We enjoyed learning about some crystals I wasn't familiar with and simply chatting with him while we browsed. It's always refreshing to connect with local business owners who genuinely care about their customers and contribute such positive energy to our community. Although they'll be relocating soon, their current space is beautifully curated--cozy, airy, and inviting. They offer everything from small, dainty crystals and jewelry to larger statement pieces, books, and other unique treasures. Wishing them all the best in their new location! If you're looking for a crystal shop with a welcoming atmosphere and wonderful people behind it, The Helping Moon is definitely worth checking out

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.

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. The candle is burning in my living area but my whole house smells wonderfully! This business is primarily online so you can shop 24/7! I can't wait to try more of their beautiful scents!

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.

I am a bit torn on Black Rock, but it's a great dessert spot nonetheless…read more Stopped in at Black Rock Dessert on a Thursday evening. Just one lone employee was running the place. In my opinion, it wasn't enough. There was a steady flow of people, and she couldn't keep up with orders and customer service. We opted for two small scoops of ice cream for the kids: chocolate and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. We also ordered the sizzling blonde brownie sundae. It was about $20 for three items. The ice cream was very good, especially the Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Very unique flavor and great texture. The blondie was a bit of a letdown. First, the blondie was not "sizzling". It wasn't even really warm. Only placed in a waffle iron for a few seconds. Second, it seemed very dry and crumbly, maybe even overbaked. I thought the ideas at Black Rock are fun, and I think trying one of their milkshakes should be my next visit. However, there are a lot of great ice cream spots in Reno. For just ice cream, I think there is some heavy competition.
