    New zero waste store-very cool!
    Karen F.

    Beautiful new store in Seminole Heights. It looks tiny from the outside but inside it is spacious and roomy. Every attempt was made to use recycled goods for their tables and shelving. There is a huge parking lot in the back (same one as the old Bali Bay) and eventually they plan to have Farmers Markets there. The whole concept of the store is to promote products and containers that are good for the environment, as well as promoting fair trade. They offer a wide selection of glass jars in different sizes, and encourage you to fill them with their bulk ingredients as you see fit. You are also welcome to bring in your own containers. I was very impressed with all the bulk home goods they carried; spices, vinegars, salts, room spray, toothpaste, laundry detergent, etc, just to name a few. They offer programs on things like candles and toothpaste where if you bring the container back in, they will refill it at a lesser price. I ended up purchasing the Lufka, their signature product, which is like a large loofah. It has 2 handles on it, and stretches so you can easily reach your back. I also bought a handmade soap and body scrub to try with it. Prices are reasonable for eco-friendly goods, selection is large and interesting, and the Owner was super friendly. I see this as a great place to purchase gifts both for your friends and for yourself.

    Such a cool spot in Tampa! I was very impressed with all the refillables available. They also hold classes to educate the community to create their own. I will definitely come back next time to fill up on some things from here and probably one of their lufkas!

    The store is very spa like. I tried the toothpaste tonight and it left my teeth smooth. It felt like I had just had my teeth cleaned at the dentist. I can't wait to try the the Handmade Willow Bark Vegan Exfoliating Washcloth! The owner Parosh Hawaii is very personable and passionate about his business and his products. I can't believe he makes every product himself. AMAZING!

    Refundable bag $5, lip balm $3, 2 soaps for $10, laundry soap about $6, dish soap  $6 hand soap $6 handmade meditation beads $15

They even provided us with cups. The scent selection is enormous and I love that the menu has so many options (diffuser, fragrance oils, candles, wax melts and room sprays [room sprays not customizable]). We each made multiple things in various scents. They had scents I've never even heard of. Our fragrance specialist (i made that title up) Natasha was the sweetest and she was extremely helpful when my friend wasn't confident about the scents she was developing. Natasha guided her and gave her suggestions of what she could add, take away and use more or less of until she came out with multiple products she loved. We look forward to our next visit.

    What a neat experience!…read more The fam wanted to do a fun activity over the holidays. I stumbled upon The Candle Pour while searching for fun activities in or near Hyde Park. I suggested candle making and another activity and candle making was everyone's top choice. We made a reservation for a party of six and arrived a few minutes early. We were greeted and got started right away. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We got to choose the type of candle, the size, and the scent(s). There are over 100 scent options, so it can be overwhelming if you're indecisive or not sure of what you want. I chose pine needles, white pepper, and black oud for my scents. After choosing our scents, the staff walked us through the pouring process step by step. Once the candle is poured, it will need to set for two hours before it is ready to go home. Since they were closing, we decided to come back another day to pick them up. We all loved our scents and were excited to light them. However, you have to wait two weeks before lighting them, which was the tough part! We've had our candles for almost three months now and use it sparingly since we like them so much and don't want to run out quickly. We thought the prices were reasonable especially for the quality of the candles and the experience. Highly recommend!

Several different options from covers, lined, unlined, dotted, smaller/closer lines vs more widely ruled.... I have tiny handwriting, especially with my better, more fine tipped pens I prefer to journal with, so finding a closely ruled journal I like isn't always easy. The wrapping paper options were also lovely, and the selection of items around the shop for not only journaling and book themed things was great, unusual but often undervalued items. My friend finally found more reusable makeup rounds, complete with their own storage bag, after she's been looking for a few months to replace the ones she's had and used for years but are starting to show some definite wear. The cashier and person assisting with stocking were both friendly and helpful without being pushy/overly involved (ALWAYS appreciated as an introvert!). I found not only the perfect journal for my preferences but also picked up a small craft project and both were very fair in price.

And walls of wrapping paper options-- a wall for more birthday and every day type wrapping and another wall for wedding type wrapping. The store is actually bigger than I originally thought. So many nice things. A bit pricey, FYI. We will definitely be back in to browse some more when in the area.
