The staff members were so kind and walked us through the whole process and helped with suggesting scents too! Who knew so many scents existed!? They have an entire wall full of candles to smell so you can craft your own custom candle. Once you select your scents you will pick out a jar then get to mixing your oils to craft the perfect candle smell! The candle was ready a few hours later and it smells so good!! Xo -BB

This place has officially solidified itself as one of our absolute favorite pastimes in Gilbert…read more Over the years, it has become our ultimate go-to for just about every occasion--whether it's a cozy date night after dinner, a fun girls' night out, or hosting birthday parties. The price is great! In fact, we've held multiple birthday celebrations here, and it is always a massive hit with the guests! Today's visit was a special girls' day, and we brought along my 5-year-old, proving they are incredibly kid-friendly! In between smelling all the different scents, the staff sweetly gave her a coloring book to keep her entertained. We also brought along our furry friend for the first time, and the staff went above and beyond to make her feel welcome too, even giving her a dog treat! That level of genuine customer service for the whole family is exactly why we keep coming back. The process here is so fun and incredibly seamless. 1. As soon as you walk through the door, you're greeted and handed a clipboard to write down all your favorite notes. 2. You get to explore the space and smell all of their incredible candles, jotting down the scents that you like. 3. Once you're done smelling, you choose your "build-your-own" product experience. 4. The staff helps you perfectly balance and customize your signature fragrance. 5. Lastly, you get to officially name your custom creation! The fragrance library here is unmatched--there is truly a scent profile for everyone. We've experimented with a lot of their offerings, and here are our absolute standouts: Custom Scent Oils: A household staple for us. We add a few drops to our wool dryer balls, and it elevates laundry day to a luxury experience. Car Diffusers: I am completely obsessed with the one I customized. It smells so incredible that I genuinely just want to sit in my parked car and enjoy it. Body Butter: If you're looking for deep hydration, skip the lotion (which ran a little too watery for my preference) and go straight for the body butter. It is rich, luxurious, and has become a mandatory part of my nightly routine. Sugar Scrub: My girls actually got me hooked on this! Now, it's a staple in my nightly shower routine for perfectly exfoliated skin. Room & Bathroom Spray: Yes, we even customized a spray for the bathroom. It's a game-changer. Pro-Tips: Candle Timing: Just a heads-up if you decide to pour a custom candle--it takes about 2 hours to harden! If you're doing a date night, I highly recommend making your candle before dinner so it can cure while you eat, or just plan to come back another day to pick it up. Payment Perk: If you want to maximize your spend, they accept the inKind app! We always use it to pay because you get awesome cash back/bonus credit. It's an absolute no-brainer. We love this spot so much that we've practically become brand ambassadors, constantly recommending it to everyone we know. Now, our friends are bringing their friends and family, too. The team here is consistently creative, welcoming, and passionate about what they do. Huge shoutout to Mia, who helped us during today's visit--she was absolutely wonderful and guided us perfectly through our blending session. If you haven't been yet, consider this your sign to book an experience. Five stars all around!

I went here this weekend for a sound bath and it was also my first time here. I am someone who…read moreloves getting immersed in the sounds, particularly of the glass singing bowls. When arriving yesterday, I met Sarah first who is the sound bath practitioner. She was very nice and had great energy. I then met the owner who is also nice and has a calming energy. I also appreciated the samples of stress relief tea they have there. I also liked the personal touches in the store and thoughtfulness. For the sound bath experience, Sarah made mention of considerations for everyone there including being as quiet as possible. During the session some people didn't seem to listen to that and a cell phone dropped, there were chairs moving, etc. There were other external noises that made it difficult for me to be fully immersed. I felt my jaw clenching with each external sound made. I do appreciate the value and the experience. For me and my personal needs, I would need a very quiet environment to get fully immersed and relaxed. I didn't shop around but I saw a lot of unique items in the store that were beautiful and focused on wellness and energy. I recommend this store while also providing a predominantly transparent review of the sound bath experience. Sarah was wonderful and I did grab her card which I was glad was available after the session.

I've always assumed a celebrity once lived here, but it turns out that's far from the truth. The…read morereal history was nothing like I expected. I won't give it away--you'll have to go on the tour yourself. Upon arrival, there's free parking on the premises in a designated grassy area. John was a great tour guide--nice, informative, and absolutely hilarious! There were a few places we couldn't see that I personally would've loved to explore, such as the hidden rooms behind the doors and the son's room upstairs. Due to time, those areas weren't included, which was a bit of a bummer. Overall, though, the tour was enjoyable. Since the place was built in the '80s, there aren't really any ghost stories--probably because in the '80s the only ghosts people talked about were the Ghostbusters. The property definitely needs a bit of love. The carpets need cleaning, and the whole place could use a refresh to bring back that '80s charm instead of feeling more like the '50s. I did love the artwork throughout, especially the stair rails, doors, and mural. A small on-site café or coffee spot would be amazing--there's so much potential here to elevate the experience, especially if they plan to maintain it as historic grounds. They no longer host weddings here, which is disappointing since I remember driving by years ago and seeing celebrations happening on the property. Overall, the tour is worth the price and definitely something to check out for yourself. Drink your coffee before you go! And remember: don't touch anything on the tour. It's always embarrassing when the guide has to remind everyone because of that one person who just can't follow the rules. Sheesh! Why is there always that one human?‍ The kitchen was definitely a 80s kitchen. In any case, I recommend checking it out if you're a history buff or just simply need something to do. Tours are held on the weekends in 3 sessions... check their site and get your tickets online. (Subject to change) Tell John that you heard it here! Btw... There's a cute gift shop on premises that sells lavender soaps and trinkets. They also sell sugar cookies and soda No coffee on the premises at all!

You can definitely tell that so much effort & thought was put into the curation of each and every item available for purchase here.

What's amazing is that they have over 50 scents to sniff out. It takes awhile and there are a bunch of really cool and unique scents such as Fruit Loops, gun powder, marijuana, leather, pink sands, clothesline, creme brulee, fruit loops, honey crisp, and rain. The employees are helpful with suggesting combinations once you write down your favorite scents. I decided to get hand soap and the perfume roller. The scents are quite amazing but they are quite ephemeral. After reviewing everything, I realized that they lied about the prices. I got overcharged $11 so I'm pretty upset by being lied to and overcharged by a lot.
