If you're looking for candles and bath bombs that are handmade without all the yucky added stuff…read morethat mass produced products have, look no further!!! Once upon a candle has some of the most yummy smelling and relaxing bath bombs. They float, fizz and spin for the longest time as they release luxury into your bathtub. Make sure your bath water is hot enough so you can hang out and replenish your body and senses as long as possible! Try not to fall asleep as you soak the day , week or year away. They have a ton of candles in various scents. Some of the wax can be used as massage oil, check the description. My husband gave me a huge surprise on Valentine's Day. He decorated the bath tub with a couple dozen bath bombs and 3 delicious candles. I had no idea he was planning this but he said he spent months getting all the products together. He also said he dealt with the owner of the shop in planning this surprise and she was "overly nice". There's nothing better than an amazing shop ran by an genuine business owner. I highly recommend checking their website for something that may work for you :)

I came across this candle company at a vendor show during Annual Wing Fest when I first moved to…read moreReno in 2014. I got a couple of candles from them and fell in love! I have been following them ever since and going on five years now. Every year they keep improving on their selections of products. I love that they keep their staple/original scents while adding seasonal and series scents. This year, they got super creative with their scents!!! Again, LOVE! They also started doing samplers, which is awesome for someone (like me) that have a hard time deciding on scents---because I want them all LOL! These samplers are also great as gifts!! I'm even more in love that this company has shown support to local community. Sherri, the owner, is such a sweet lady.

I was hoping to stop by the shop in-person when I found it on Yelp but didn't realize it was only open Saturdays, so I went ahead and ordered online. The shop is super local to me and at check out there was an option for free local delivery! I wasn't sure how quickly they'd be delivered but within 2 days they were dropped off at my door. I only wish I'd been there when they delivered to say thank you! My husband and I both love the candles, they smell amazing and accurate to the descriptions. We're looking forward to getting more candles and visiting the nearby shop in-person!

The owner, Christine, was super helpful from beginning to end. There was ample time given at each step to make your selections. You get to choose the size and shape of your candle basin, mixed a custom scent, and then decorate to your heart's delight. Not only did we have a lot of laughs, but we got to take home two great candles. The total cost is just a $25 deposit for the class and the cost of your chosen base. Fabulous value! We will definitely be back to do this again with friends.

The owner is very friendly and they make a lot of product in house, and carry a lot of local products. They also have a lot of fun pop up events where they highlight other businesses. Some of my favorite items here are their refillable items like soaps and lotions. They also have some very nice bar soaps, and they do some seasonal ones that make great gifts. You can purchase jars/vessels here, but I recommend bringing your own so it goes with your space and so you know you have the size that you want. Parking can be tough at times, but if you come during non-touristy times for Old Sac you can easily find a spot. If you do come at a more popular time there is a parking garage not too far away.

The owner was…read morea young lady who explained that she and her sister had just opened and were building up their shop for the upcoming holidays. She was really friendly and gave me a bit of info about the slime she sells in the store. I honestly have never touched slime, the closest I've gotten is seeing it on IG but I've always wanted to touch it. I know, sounds weird but it's slime... it's made for touching! She showed me 3 different versions which were out on display for customers to experience. There was beginner, intermediate and advanced slime. She explained that the consistencies were different in each one and for younger (not slime aficionados, haha) the beginner was the best option due to its consistency. I decided I'd try all three and could definitely tell the difference. Some were more like slime sand and others ultra silky slime, very cool! Finally! I got to play with what I'd seen on IG for the last 2 years, yayeeeeeee (insert super happy emoji). She also showed me candles that were on display, all the different soaps on the specialty soap table as well as all of the other slimes that came in various colors, scents and with different things to mix into it (glitter, rubber ducks, little toys, etc.) as well as pointed out the different levels of what each slime was. I'll def be back, I just have to figure out what scent and toys I want first, it was a bit of sensory overload for a firstie. When I need a lil slime in my life, this is where I'll get it fo sho :)

There are a few options to do such as making a candle, garden, and painting. They also have a to-go slime kit.  We were leaving Tahoe that day so we wanted to make something that we could bring home the same day. The kids each made a garden and a candle. For the garden, we chose a pot which varies in price. We then got to choose a real or fake plant. To plant, small rocks went in first for drainage and then we filled it with dirt. Now comes the fun part to decorate with the add ons. There were different types and color rocks, moss, and tiny figurines. My kiddo loved getting his creativity on with all the options.  For the candle, we chose a container which varies in price also. We then got to choose the colored wax to break it apart. It was actually easier to break it with the hands then cut it up. Once we were done with that part, we got to choose a scent, then a wick was added, and clear gloss was poured over to seal it.  It was a cute and fun experience. The best part is that all supplies are provided, and no cleaning is needed.

I just wanted to give a BIG shoutout to the two amazing women working Tuesday evening! I wish I had…read morecaught their names because they absolutely deserve the recognition. I went into Sally's for something that's usually pretty routine for me, but I was also having some hair concerns and, if I'm being real, I was having a pretty crappy day and just feeling really low. Nothing makes that better quite like also hating your hair These two women were seriously incredible. I had never met either of them before, but they treated me like girlfriends helping me figure out what to do with my hair. They listened to all of my concerns, showed me their favorite products, gave me recommendations, answered all of my questions, and were just genuinely SO sweet to me. I'm a girl balling on a budget, so even spending a little extra money on myself right now was something I had to think about. But I went home, used everything they recommended, and I am SO much happier with my hair. It honestly made me feel so much better. What probably felt like a normal interaction to them genuinely turned my day around. I came in feeling crappy about myself and left feeling excited to go home and take care of myself. That kind of kindness and customer service deserves to be recognized. So if management knows which two kick ass women were working tonight (Tuesday) evening, PLEASE give them the recognition they deserve. And maybe a raise while you're at it. They were amazing at their jobs, but more importantly, they were just really kind humans when I needed a little kindness that day.
