Before we sat down to have a cup of coffee at Colada Shop, we were walking around some of the…read morestores on this strip of Mosaic District when Kimi was like, "We gotta go into this store, I think you guys will really love it." And I'm certainly not one to say no to shopping... and Kimi knows me pretty well - so in we went. In this adorable little shop you'll find a bit of everything: From chic baby toys and gear, to Women's athletica, adorable spice recipe kits, dog treats, jewelry, natural deodorant, candles and so much more that I'm forgetting. The store is immaculately designed. As soon as you walk in, you feel like you're in a higher end boutique - but it's also not stuffy at all like some places. It's just highly curated with interesting unique products, and could be the absolute best place for stocking stuffers, small gifts, making a gift basket and also obviously splurging on yourself. I ended up getting some natural dog treats for the pup, and I almost splurged on some fancy balsamic vinegar. This splurge was for the pup, the next time I come in the splurge will be for me lol. Definitely worth stopping in. If you're someone who LOVES getting little treats and surprises for your friends and family this could be the perfect spot. The mix is eclectic and Kimi pointed out that they even sell this soap that was gifted to us for Latinx heritage month as it's a Latin owned soap company. I feel like it's the apothecary David would open if he was a woman.

Everything they feature is ethically-sourced and sustainably obtained. AND OH so cute.

This is the perfect place to grab a special gift for a friend and reminds me of those cute, indie boutiques that are on every corner in LA. I hope this shop stays around for a long time.

This is the worst gift I have ever made the choice to purchase. I called and asked for a refund or…read morea replacement and the answer was "no." The product is literally called "Marine Sphere" and it is a sheet of glass, flat, NOT A SPHERE. My review is a zero and in spite of proving pictures of the "sphere" while on the phone with customer service today (actual flat, sheet of glass), the "supervisor" stated that the dimensions were on the website. So no refund or exchange. By the way, there is only one photo of the product online, front facing, so you actually have no clues that it's a flat piece of glass. 1 ply. Absolute fail. Got it for a 45th anniversary for my parents. Going in the garbage as they won't even accept it back. Thanks you so much for this experience. I will spread the word. Very shocked by this. Online purchase. Yeah. They refused to refund OR replace OR receive it back. Amazing service for a company close to bankruptcy. This is not how you treat customers that actually still consider you. Never again. 45 year marriage sapphire anniversary ruined.

Recently, I placed an online order (in-store pickup) for engraved champagne flutes for a wedding present. The flutes are beautiful and high quality but I was disappointed by the engraving. I chose a cursive font for the bride and grooms name and wedding date. One of the flutes came out perfect, but the other was messed up. As you can see in the pictures, the letter 'U' is not perfectly etched in the glass. I pointed out the flaw to the employee who offered to run a blade over it to make it look better but unfortunately it didn't do much. As a perfectionist, I am a little upset about giving a gift with a flaw to my friends on their special day. I hope they can perfect this font in the future for other customers.

Even if you don't buy something at Rumi Life, your bound to enjoy something you might not have seen or knew existed before. The place is pretty busy now, but the employees are doing what they can to keep things organized and assist guests to the store. The employees may not smile, but they should be approachable. I don't see much of Kuromi in this store this time. The Hello Kitty merchandise does spring up from time to time. I have started taking a liking to the Kuromi collection, but haven't bought anything yet. It's just a matter of time. There is one big thing you should know. The stuff here is nice to look at, but if you buy something here, THERE ARE NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. Please remember this if you come here to shop.

If you buy both a pot and plant here, they'll even pot it for you so all you have to do it put it by the window and give it some light.
