    This place is absolutely lovely! Although small, there is a wide selection of books, mainly travel guides, maps, and directories. They also offer language classes. I went in and flipped through a travel map of Japan: I planned a trip to Tokyo in June. Super helpful and cute. Full of important tips!

    Stumbled across this bookstore after buying wine from bottlerocket. I was intrigued by the really cool lighting and decor of the store. I walked up the steps and there was no one in the store. The cashier was quiet and it was literally like a private bookstore. I love to travel but Idlewood has the be all end all collection of travel books. It definitely made me want to brush up on my language skills...but I ended up buying a totally unrelated book: One thousand New York buildings (it's pretty much an encyclopedia of every building in NYC) which is going to be so useful. I mean how many times do I pass buildings and not remember their names. Anyway, I would definitely go back to this place next time I'm on vacation!

    Casual browsing.

    If you want to learn a new language, study a different culture, or hell, even buy a children's book in another language, this is the spot that you definitely need to hit up. For fun, I decided that I wanted to learn French. I have a few tools here and there, but what I *really* needed was a workbook that would challenge me and allow me to write out (rather than choose) vocab and grammar. This was the only place that I managed to find just that. They even have classes in the evenings and on Saturdays! I'm definitely interested in checking that out, too.

Reiki was one of the modalities I wanted to use to help adjust to it, and even accelerate it. Asha has such a strong reputation in this field, so booking my first Reiki session with her was a no-brainer. First we spent some time talking, and she showed me a notepad with some messages from my guides. She wrote those messages before I had even arrived at her office. I was pleasantly surprised because those messages were very relevant for me. Then we moved to the warm and beautiful room for the Reiki session. You feel at peace as soon as you walk in. She used crystals, music, chimes, and aromatherapy. My emotional and physical reaction throughout the session felt like a breakthrough. Since our session, I feel unblocked. I've taken that energy into my new career change, and the way I think about abundance and love. Thank you Asha - I'll be back for a tune-up soon! :)
