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!

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!

Overall: Expensive but quality and luxurious perfumes…read more Perfumes: Was really into the Ambrette 9 and Jasmine. The mini perfumes do not come in twos, but threes. Has staying power (stayed on till I showered that night) without being in your face. Normally, strong perfumes make me dizzy - Le Labo perfumes all seem to be soft and light. The Ambrette was subtle and unique and can only be smelled in hug proximity. The Jasmine is a soft sweet and woody scent that can be smelled in sitting-beside-you proximity. I picked one since I'm more of a no perfume and scented hand cream person than a perfume person. Service: Christian was very helpful in his descriptions and suggestions. I was able to decide between two scents after he recommended that I try both - one scent on each wrist, walk around the neighborhood, and come back when I've decided. He even threw in a Jasmine sample after I ended up choosing a small bottle of Ambrette 9. Space: Minimal, organized, open. Price: Expensive but quality is there if you want to enjoy a bit of scented luxury. Refills are discounted by 20%.

I ended up getting the Libra tea, not just because I'm a Libra, but I saw the ashwaghanda root in there and was instantly sold.

The vibes in this place is waaaayy off! Honestly do not come here. I'm a woman of color and the…read moremoment I walked in I felt negativity. I was followed around by three different employees constantly asking me if I needed help and staring me down. Even if I look at the situation differently they don't even allow people the space, freedom or even privacy to choose what they need themselves or the chance to ask for help if they need it. Instead they all hound you down like you're in a clothing department store and make you feel uncomfortable. Especially the guy working there with the gray/white hair was orchestrating all of the employees around. Another reviewer mentioned this and yes there is a strong atmosphere of intolerance, paranoia, judgement and deeper under lining issues. I was standing in line behind a gentleman and when it was my turn at the counter, the guy with the gray/white hair told the lady working the counter to leave the counter and told another lady to come check me out which was odd and he had a very nasty look on his face. Then the lady at the counter asked me if I had a membership and I said no, She then says "ok don't worry we are not pushy" and then proceeds to laugh and say "at least I don't think so". They know exactly what they are doing. If a spiritual store is worried about people stealing or whatever then they you are NOT the real deal and it is a reflection of who they are and what they are actually doing. If you are alarmed or uncomfortable by a women of color coming into your shop while your shop is named Goddess/Isis you should NOT be in business! This place is not sacred or safe. Buy your stuff online or go to a place with integrity, a place that has respect and honors spirituality and people, all people. Avoid this place and do not support this business.

There are watchdogs everywhere. It is not a calming experience. It is a place that you go to if you want to get roughed up by all the wanderingstore clerks.

I used to go to this place and relax I would always buy a few things and feel very good about my experience. Now it's like walking into a Walmart, that is the vibe that is there now it makes me sad to say it but this is what it's like.
