When you're driving in it feels like an alley but there are a few shops near it and you can park there to avoid street parking. When you come in you pick your vessel and get situated at the bar. From there you get a choice of 60 scents to include in your candle! They advise you to narrow it down to top 5-6 or so so they can help you mix the best scents for your candle. Once you've narrowed it down you smell the oils together and get guidance from the employees on what pairs best. Then based on the size of your vessel they will give you a measurement of how much to include in your mixture and voila! You have a uniquely made candle for your home. They also offer discounted refill programs if you bring back your empty candle vessel. I highly recommend checking this place out!

Had a really fun experience making my own cologne at Scented Studio. I took the scented workshop…read morewhere you smell 24 different scent blends to pick your favs and then they make your cologne based from that. The whole thing took a couple of hours and is a fun weekend activity for a couple as long as you leave yourself enough time. There's a whole range of oils, bath bombs, body whips and more to choose from which are all I scented but can be infused with your custom scent. A great gift idea if you're looking for something for a significant other. Highly recommended.

Esther was wonderful and very educated on this. She taught us the history, how to apply scents, and scents that work with our body chemistry. The experience took a little less than 2 hours, and I created an amazing scent for myself that I love wearing all the time. This is an amazing experience to complete or give as a gift. The store and staff is a wonderful, so even if you don't want to create a scent, come visit for the products they sell (and their knowledge).

Finding this place was purely an accident. After a doggie bath next door we were standing outside…read moreand was wondering what to do next we noticed this cute store with a unique name. Walking in I was expecting to be swallowed by the usual strong smell of soaps and lotions etc. now that gives me a headache. This place is not like that at all. In fact everything they make here is all handmade and carefully packaged and definitely won't overpower you with smell. I fell in love with their body butter. I usually don't like them because they don't do the job. This might be my great find as far as body butter is concerned. The smell are varied and divine. A bottle will cost you around $22. It's worth it! Their uncluttered choice of display is very much reflective of the products they carry. Simple but effective. I am a big fan and I will be back for sure.

You know how you feel really excited when you are about to introduce two people that you really…read morelike that you are just SURE are going to hit it off? That's how I felt tonight having set up the UYE for a Spa Party at MoonDance. Introducing my beloved and respected Yelpers to the wonder and joy of MoonDance had me all a-flutter. In heaven, there is a spa party everyday. I've now attended 4 spa parties in the last 3 months, having arranged 2 of them myself. Eventhough I am no girly-girl, it's so relaxing and makes me feel so pretty I adore going there and pampering myself. I have to admit that since they are running a special that gives you your spa party for free when you arrange one for 6 or more, I've become an even bigger fan. As many of you know, arranging a UYE can be hard work and Tonja was amazing working with me as I changed our RSVP at least 5 times! I really can't think of a better deal. $15 for several glasses of champagne, gouda cheese drizzled in honey with walnuts and crackers, delicious lavender blueberry chocolate and a 5 step self applied facial that makes you feel like a new woman/man (Dave the Brave, I'm talking about you there). My face feels so soft right now, I'm having a hard time keeping my hands to myself! I just keep pawing my myself and oohing and aahing about how soft and silky I am. Since you get 20% off your purchase after the spa party, I've bought just about one of everything over these past few months. The headache oil really helps me with the stress headaches. I drip a few drops on my hoodie and it relaxes me all day long. The lavender silk skin cleanser is part of my nightly routine. The Rosewater Elixir is a big favorite at work! It's so refreshing! Each and every product is organic, made fresh weekly and knocks my socks off! Because they care about the environment, they will give you a 50% discount if you bring back the bottle of most items!!! I love you MoonDance Botanicals. Thank you for making me and my friends feel so pretty!!!!

Candice, Kelly, and the rest of the staff are awesome--knowledgeable, friendly, and so passionate about what they do. Each product has a little "Created by _____" so you know who made the product you have. Oh, and everything is created in house. I own the Apricot Rose Facial Cream and the Neroli Face Spritzer, and have tried most other products. I'm plan on owning more products soon. I especially love their recycle program: 15% off any repeat product you buy that you've put your fingers in (like a face cream) and 40% off those you don't put your hands in (like a face spritzer) when you bring the bottles back in. Oh... and they do facials! Intimate spa parties where you're fed champagne spritzers and chocolate during your 8-step facial. Cheers to that!

The owner sources her inventory from all around the US so you are bound to find something special and unique. The store has a few fitting rooms and shares a restroom with the Belgian shop next door. I will say I feel very peaceful when in this business. Not something you actively notice when shopping for clothes or gifts elsewhere.
