Her energy, readings, candle work, soaps, sprays all her products really are one of kind literally you won't find this kind of energy anywhere. The service is great Jose and Tanya always do a great job with providing good attentive service, they'll direct you to the product that you're looking for. The products itself are of value the price is worth the energy put on the work that you have paid for. If you want top spiritual work come to my Madrina @ Botanica Olokun. I also want to bring this to Carla M attention and everyone else that reads this review. Carla M has posted a review about how my Madrina took so long to do her reading, how her reading didn't go as how she wanted. Based on her experience her reading with my Madrina didn't go as good as she wanted but my Madrina asked her for feedback yet Carla couldn't be honest with Madrina in person, she goes to yelp instead and writes a yelp review, that is all lies. Carla has a tendency going to spiritual worker to spiritual worker to try to get an "accurate " reading then she calls people scam artist, writes bad reviews on their page and tries to make their business look bad. The real scam artist is her robbing of peoples energy and writing lies on reviews. Carla next time don't look for a reading look for a limpia you need it girl. Stop spreading lies of my Madrina stop messing with my Ile. Girl you have no idea what you have done to yourself. I suggest you do your research before going to someone and not know who spiritually protects that person. Good luck because you just messed up your blessings if you had any which I doubt.

I was delighted to find a wide variety of candles, as well as many other items that many people would appreciate. They had an entire wall of crosses, ranging from small to large and in various styles. There were not many people inside, which allowed me to browse everything comfortably. I felt as if we were the only folks in the store prices were a good value in a tourist area.

What endears me to this shop is that it is housed in what used to be part of an old machine shop. It still has the original plaster and wood beams as well as old doorways for the upper levels of the old building. It just smells old and historic. You can't fake it. What I notice the most about this place is that it call itself a candle shop, but there's not many candles that are sold there. They sell LOTS of Dia de Los Muertos decorations, books, magnets, coffee mugs, post cards and other assorted items that are not candles. There is also an ofrenda that is up year-round. It is very beautiful. Don't get me wrong, I love this store and have bought many items from here. They also sell incense here. Here is where I leave with a slight headache because I cannot help myself and I HAVE to smell it all! If you are one of those people who are into the spiritual crystal guru thing, then this store is also for you as they sell a myriad of gems and necklaces. They take cash and card. I'm not sure if there are other payment forms like Apple Pay or Zelle accepted. I wanted to take pictures, but I didn't want to come off as someone who looked sketchy in their store! Give this cute little spot a try!

Parking on the street in front of the shop is difficult, but I was able to find one two blocks away. Got some steps in. Their Teakwood & Tobacco is one of my favorites and I got some refill. Glad they are open weekday. No crowd. Friendly staff. I love how they have a big airy space so the scents don't become overwhelming. I also love how they organized and displayed their products -- logical.

Most importantly, the floral arch, the table arrangements, the bridal bouquet, the corsages and boutonnieres and all the greenery around the space were stunning. She was able to take our design preferences and execute so so elegantly. She never upsold and worked creatively within our budget. So professional and easy to work with. And just so so good at her job. She really shone as a professional when 5 days out from the wedding there was an inch of rain expected on our wedding day and we were planning a move to an indoor space. Meg worked so quickly with us to pivot and adapt the floral design for the new space. We ended up being able to us the original outdoor venue after all after the storm came in later than initially forecast, but what an incredible person to have on your team if the unexpected happens.

Ok, holy dang... Mackenzie works wonders. I got a facial (I think it was the signature facial - the…read moreone where there is a deal for new clients) with some enhancements - the micro current and the light therapy. The micro current made my face dance all around - was kind of fun haha. The light therapy was relaxing - Mackenzie gave me a scalp massage while I was under the light. I'll get to the results but I want to start with how I ended up at Xeba and why the results were so important and meaningful to me. So, here it goes... I signed up for the facial because I had been going through a very rough time for over a year. 2025 was the worst year of my life - I lost my best friend - my soulmate of a girlfriend to cancer, a childhood friend to a brain aneurysm, my two cats from sudden illnesses, my parents became very sick and there was generally a lot going on with my personal life and my health that was not so happy. All of it aged me so hard. I could win awards for how good I am at wearing my stress, grief and depression. I hate it. I kind of became a bit of a recluse because of how little I felt or looked like myself since my best friend died. I felt like I just broke after that. My face screamed doom and gloom even when I was in a good mood. Soooo, I was told by my friends, my family and my grief therapist that I should do something nice for myself. Some self care. Like, repeatedly ha. So I did. I walk past Xeba all the time but disregarded it for a while thinking it would be stupidly expensive like everything else in this neighborhood. I was wrong. The pricing of their skincare products is in line with what I'm paying for my Dermalogica only they're all natural and I'm finding that they last a lot longer based on how much I need to use. I'm not good at keeping up with self care appointments like facials but I am SUPER good at spending way too long at researching and price comparing every place only to not follow through (womp womp). The pricing of their facials and their enhancements are super competitive. Especially with their new client deal and their membership. Anyway, the results - I went in thinking, cool, this will feel good and maybe it'll help my skin be less pissed off. The result was so much more than that. I've never had those enhancements - I think it was the micro current that really did it but I left there looking like I HADN'T just been through hell and back over the past year and a half. I went to go use the bathroom before I left and had to apologize for being in there for so long before meeting Mackenzie up front. I couldn't stop looking in the mirror. I looked younger somehow. I thought you had to get crazy sh*t done to yourself to have immediate results like that. Like, I know it's not permanent and I need to go back regularly to keep up with my progress (which I will - I got the membership) but holy sh*t. I wanted to cry. My face wasn't puffy, my skin looked tighter, my face didn't look droopy. It was like I lost weight or something. The two insane forehead lines that bother me were less noticeable. I think it was my eyes that really got me. They no longer showcased the grief I've been trying to pull myself out of. I know this was just a facial but it's the most self care I've done for myself since my best friend died. I didn't like looking at myself in the mirror anymore and now all of a sudden I couldn't stop looking at myself in the mirror because my face actually looked like it had life in it again. It felt really cool. I'm 40. I'm struggling with all the changes in my body and how much more everything screws with my skin, my weight, etc. Seeing myself look like I was 10 years younger gave me a kick in the butt to prioritize stuff like this a bit more. I'm excited for my next appointment and I get excited to use my serums each morning and night. I'm keeping up with self care again which is a nice feeling in itself. I really appreciate Mackenzie. She's super knowledgeable, kind and she didn't push any products or services on me which was nice. l I told her I'm bad at keeping up with new routines but did want to try some serums to help with my greasiness and my adult acne, so I left with a couple based on her recommendations. She even helped me label the bottles for time of day to use because I'm a total brain fart in the morning and after a long day of work. I appreciate little stuff like that. Okee - I'm done with my novel. Thanks for reading. See ya soon Xeba :)
