I attended a private candle making group event and it was so much fun! It was my first time making…read moremy own candle and I absolutely loved the whole process. There's quite a bit of waiting around for the candle to solidify before you decorate it. They have so many choices including different stones, glitter, and shells for decorating. I picked the sage fragrance for one candle and a more fruity scent, which I believe was the mango papaya, for the other candle. I also liked their birthday cake scent. I could see this being such a fun, unique activity for a date or bachelorette party.

The instructor did an excellent job explaining all the steps during the candle making workshop, so it was really easy to follow along. I love how my candle turned out and I'm so excited to use it at home. The only downside is that the candle making workshop is a bit pricey for only being able to make one candle, but for the overall experience it seems like a fair price.

Athenian Candle Company has been my go to for various needs for at least 10 years if not longer…read more They are a local business in Greektown with lots of knowledge and the most sincere customer service team. Sometimes I go there with a purpose, like, I need a St Francis and a St Anthony candle, or maybe I need some Morocco oil. Other times I am a complete disaster and I go in and they ask If I need any help, to which I say yes, and tell them my issue. The staff always knows exactly what I need and is more than willing to help. Oftentimes they will offer you a blessing at checkout - Say yes and accept with gratitude. The blessing will bring you goodness and peace and probably whatever else you need. At the beginning of the Athenian Candles gives out catalogues and Christian calendars with purchase. Both are wonderful gifts. The catalogue has a lot of information about products you may not have been aware of. Parking right in front can be tough; it is Greektown. if you go a block or two away you will find likely a free spot.

What a really cool experience!…read more Private session for my friend and I to create and customize a scented soy candle. Personalized attention, great explanations and assistance. After measuring and mixing we picked the perfect vessel for our candle to solidify and were handed a label to name it. We were also signed up for the perfume class. There were fifteen of us present, good energy, nice vibe. It was like a science lab of scents and we worked our magic. We were instructed to choose up to six oils to mix into a beaker. We played around with the scents until it smelled like something we wanted to wear. We were directed to shelves of pretty perfume bottles; some included with the price of the class and upgrades that were not. My pretty pink bottle was an upgrade. When we received our perfumer's alcohol, we poured into our bottles, gave a little shake and came up with a clever name for our signature scent. I was really hoping the owner would pop in. It's good to know that we can refill each perfume bottle and candle jar at a discounted price. I named my candle "Priceless" because the combined scents remind me of my travel experiences. My chosen name for my perfume is "Journey" because that's exactly where each note takes you.

OMG, do you know how difficult it is to find travel size shampoo +c ond??? No, not any, but quality…read moreshampoo + cond. It's VERY hard. I went to Bloomingdales and they didn't have it. I checked a few hair salons close by, they didn't have it. I was pretty much SOL. I had totally forgot to pack mine and really needed to wash my hair and refuse to use any shampoo because I had just got my hair done and colored. You have to treat your hair right! I was at Lululemon and out of desperation asked the cashier if he knew of anyplace that sells travel size Oribe or R+co. The other employee heard and she was my savior....she told me about Bravco and that I will find everything that I need. She was not lying. Bravco doesn't look like much from the outside, you might even question it before entering because it's located under a staircase and looks more like a convenience store than anything else. I walked in, right away was greeted by a warm fireplace and the man up front. I was immediately taken aback by all the products I'm familiar with and went straight to looking for the travel stuff. Located in the very back of the store, you see a wall with the banner "Small world" - there, neatly lined up on the shelves, you can find brands from Oribe to R+Co, Living Proof, WOW and more. This totally made my day and saved me. Thank you Lululemon employee for telling me about this place!!! If you ever forger your shampoo and cond when traveling to Chicago, don't panic, just come to Bravco!

Almost missed it. It's tucked away. I went in with high expectations from seeing all the TikTok…read morevideos and reviews and stuff and I was really disappointed. The female sales associate was less than friendly. Didn't seem excited or cared that I saw their business on social media and drove 4 hours to see it. The other guy was helpful though. I was expecting ALL travel sizes though, not regular sizes too. That's fine. It was fun to look at. I felt obligated to purchase something. I felt like it was really overpriced though. A travel sized bottle of Kérastase for $20.99? No thanks! I'll buy the full size from the company and get that for free. Also, the store is very, very, small. It was nice to see it, but I highly doubt I'd ever go back.

They definitely knew I was in there. Maybe I didn't fit their preferred demographic. Didn't purchase anything.

Evie is the cutest person who genuinely cares about every pour, and will always suggest the best candle for you and your family. I used to always have a headache whenever I lit candles (which made it hard for someone who loves candles and scents), but ever since I started using Evie's candles, I haven't heard a headache and I haven't been able to go back to my old candles. You absolutely need to check Evie out if you live in the area, and if you're not, I believe she's launching her online store soon so STAY TUNED.
