An amazing candle shop, full of exquisite wares infinitely better than anything on the mass market,…read morejust like ALL the shops of Carmel! The amazing scents plow you, of course, as you walk in the door, and the shop owner does helpfully point out the little bowls of coffee beans scattered about to help relieve the scent saturations so you can appreciate each candle. Candles in one hand and coffee in the other, and you are armed for shopping! Like many shops, they also featured Halloween displays in late September and no doubt continue this trend for all holidays, so you'll never see the same store twice! All types of candles as well - votives, tapers, standard block candles for arrangements, and many types of holders. Scented, unscented, glittery, melty, round, hexagonal - if you can dream it up, they probably have it here.

I love their variety of candles: sizes, shapes and colors. I…read morefound one hard to find. Every time I visit Carmel, I stop by

I cannot fully describe the extent of how much I wanted to open my own apothecary upon entering…read moreEarth Cura and meeting Bonnie, even though I have zero knowledge of anything apothecary related. Bonnie and everything she makes (!! On site!!) are so darn cool and magical. Her shop is tucked away in a little nook between downtown Carmel and a residential neighborhood, so it might be easy to miss. Absolutely walkable from anywhere you park, of course, and 100% worth the visit even if you don't buy anything! I wish I asked more about the teas and remedies she makes, but she has so many of them targeting any ailment a human could possibly have. I was more interested in her candles (my guilty hoarding pleasure) because I love crystals and their meanings. Her smaller ones in the gold vessels are $52 and larger ones in locally made pottery are at least $150 I believe. Everything she offers is on her website except her beautiful candles since they sell so fast! My friend had her eyes on a pink quartz candle, but I said we can come back right before it closes if she's still thinking about it then. Of course we went back, and she actually fell in love with a different candle! ...and I did too. I first saw one with dominos that looked cool, but when we came back I saw one with a lapis egg. Bonnie had just made it that afternoon and set them on the display. We both LOVE the joy and peace our candles bring us :) Truly straight out of a fairy tale, the tiny spell shop by the sea!

You're Killing Me Smalls candle smells warm and amazing. I'm a big candle person and I love for my home to smell warm and cozy. This will do it. 2. Egyptian Amber is sexy. This candle, red wine and some cheese. It's a whole vibe and I love it. 3. Black Raspberry Vanilla smells like I have something delicious baking in the oven. It's perfect. 4. Lavender Vanilla incense. Not overwhelming, very balance and perfect for a nice bath. Bonus: Don't forget to grab the fresh linen room spray. That clean house smell never fails! All in all, Locally Lit by Johnny Wicks, is my new candle go-to candle spot and I love supporting small businesses.

For candles, tons of different scents to check out. An equally large selection of soaps and lotions as well.

Beeswax candles don't leave any residue and it's a natural air purifier. Add essential oils and you've got the best of both worlds. I've tried the candles, candle melts and the lotions and I've loved them all. Everything smells soo nice in this store! The candles last a long time but the candle melts last almost forever. I actually left some samples of candle melts in my car once and it had melted because it was so hot out, but good thing it was still in a plastic bag so it was fine. But it made my car smell soooo nice! I even forgot what that sample was but it smells like honey and some yummy goodness! So I got a little container and used that for my car freshener. It's way better than using those chemical laden car fresheners. Everyone who rides in my car tells me how amazing my car smells. It's been over a year and I still have it. I've been needing some more candles at home and so I checked if they were open. I ordered some online and sent an email because they offer free delivery if you're in Hollister. After I checked out online, I received them in less than an hour! I love it! And they wrap everything up like it's a present! I love the product and the service! What more can you ask for?

If you're anywhere near Sand City, do yourself a favor and stop by Untamed Fire…read more I wandered in after a psychic reading to pick up a couple of things that had come up during my session, and somehow I walked out with so much more. The moment I approached the store, I was greeted by Augie, Lynette's sweet pup, and then by Lynette herself--who, by the way, has the most gorgeous violet hair. I found everything I was looking for (and then some), but what made this visit unforgettable had nothing to do with crystals or candles. Lynette made me a cup of tea, we chatted about how she opened this store and what kept her going, and within minutes I felt completely at ease... welcomed, included, and genuinely cared for. She shared that what keeps her going is the incredible sense of community she's built through the store and the beautiful souls who walk through her doors. But I'm not sure she realizes she's the heart of it all. Her warmth, kindness, and authenticity are what make this place feel so magical. Untamed Fire isn't just a metaphysical shop--it's one of those rare places that makes you want to slow down, breathe, and listen to what your soul is quietly reaching for. Huge shoutout to Lynette for creating such a beautiful space. If you visit, go with an open heart. You never know what your soul might be drawn to.

The woman there is very knowledgeable and personable. My husband would have been waiting quite a while in the car for me had there not been a nice little garden outside.
