This review is overdue! I've been shopping at Meant to Be for awhile now. This is a nice lil store…read moreright by The Blue Owl in Kimmswick. They have a great variety - soaps, lotions, locally produced honey and jams, accessories, gifts, etc. I've mainly purchased the soaps - these are my FAVORITE hand crafted all natural soaps. I've completely shifted my self care routine to these soaps and my skin is thanking me! I prefer the oatmeal and honey one as I'm sensitive to scents but I did get a candy corn scented one last year and the fragrance was perfect. I have purchased soaps from other stores as well, but I prefer the meant to be ones as they are a nice size, mild scent and they last about a month each (with only me using them in the shower) and they are a great price point at $4-5 a soap. I've also enjoyed the honey from here and let me tell ya - that started a peanut butter and honey toast habit. The honey is so silky and delicious! The service here has always been top notch. The employees offer to help but do not hover and will do their best to make recommendations as well.

The host was pretty hands off after that they weren't actively helping get colors for the kids who were all really young. There were only two people painting other than the party at the time. They also didn't tell the parents throwing the party that it would be over two weeks to get the items back until the day of the party and that one person would need to pick them all up. The kids had a fun experience but it definitely could have gone more smoothly and been more organized.

Told we could get a replacement with additional shipping charges. Sorry, not how that works. Then, was given more BS about how we are getting a free shield. Sorry, the first one is basically firewood. Replacement came.Thanks for the nothing. It was slapped together because we received it in a couple of days' turnaround. I wanted to be able to boast of this item but can't. This, too, is cracked. This was meant for our guests to sign at our wedding. Now we have to figure something else out. We will be happy to return these damaged items back.

I had an amazing experience at Fennel Cooking Studio and it was an easy 5-star visit…read more The entire experience was thoughtfully put together, from the atmosphere to the hands-on cooking experience. It's such a fun way to learn new techniques, try something different, and enjoy great food in a welcoming environment. The instructors were knowledgeable, friendly, and made the class easy to follow while still keeping it engaging. Whether you're an experienced cook or just someone who enjoys food, the experience feels approachable and enjoyable. The food we made was delicious, and there's something really satisfying about being able to create a dish yourself and then sit down to enjoy it afterward. It's also a great activity to do with friends, for a date night, or even as a unique way to celebrate an occasion. A fun, memorable experience with great instruction, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere. I'd definitely come back for another class.

Fennel is a unique cooking studio. They offer a variety of classes each month, some of which are…read moreseasonal. Some of the classes are in partnership with local restaurants or farms. Their website usually lists the current month and the next month. The classes cost about $100 each (some less, some more) and are limited to 16 people. There is usually one instructor and two assistants. They provide the mise en place, implements, and instruction. You receive a folio of recipes to take home. Over the course of the class you work together to cook the dishes. At the end of class you socialize and eat and you get to take leftovers home. It's a fun activity to do with friends, partners, colleagues, or family members. I have taken the scones class, the pie class, and the mole class. All were great. The studio is clean. The instruction is clear. It's just a fun experience.
