You will never feel out of the loop in this shop. Also I brought a friend in to get some new cartilage piercings and she walked out the happiest girl alive. He has done so much for me and my friends, I 110% recommend this place and will be going there again.

With the option of titanium, I got a septum piercing with no appointment, and my boyfriend a nose piercing. They were super quick, sterile, and not too painful. The owner was super friendly and personable. I really liked when I asked if it would look good on me and he replied, "Oh yea, any piercing looks good on any person, as long as it's done correctly." Can't wait to follow up :)

Venus nutrition is family run and I had the pleasure of meeting of one of the owners. When I went in today she was very helpful and helping me choose the shake that I wanted along with an energy tea because I hadn't had coffee yet either. They have a variety of standard shakes and also seasonal flavors. I went with the chocolate, covered strawberry, a standard favorite of mine, as well as the scoop of peanut butter powder as well. They have small, medium and large sizes with calorie counts between 200 and 500 cal depending on what size you order. It's a great way to get a nutrition shake when you're on the run and you don't have time to grab something more substantial. I'll definitely be back to try some of the other flavors. They also have a loyalty card which I grabbed because I live right down the road and I know I'll be back for more.

Typically, I would be deterred by the "artisan" aspect of the name, and I was.. until I needed…read moresomething. I would go in and buy coils for 15.99. They charge way too much for salt nics. You walk in, tell them what you need and while you're checking out... they turn the touchscreen keypad towards you allowing you to elect a 15,20 or 25% tip. That to me, is just gross. You didn't make me a latte, provide stimulating conversation or make my day better in any way, you pulled something off a shelf. I always left feeling ick. So now because they have tips, are the cashiers paid fair wages? Please advise.

While in Southington I stopped by their Aldi to pick up some milk and some other essentials. This…read morestore is larger then other Aldi locations, there's plenty of space for two large shopping carts to fit side by side. All of the isles and their merchandise were well stocked. Aldi has the lowest prices on their everyday grocery items. They also have an isle of random discounted merchandise, such as storage items, toys and seasonal decor. Most of the items Aldi carries, are their own brand. You can randomly find name brand items also. Unfortunately not everything I need can be found here. Be sure to have a quarter ready so you can get a shopping cart, and return it after you're done. This is part of the reason their prices are low, they're not hiring someone to collect shopping carts all over the parking lot. You will not find a shopping basket at Aldi. This is a very nice Aldi location. You can find your everyday basics at a great price.

For Small Business Saturday, I visited Gathering Board Charcuterie on the Berlin Turnpike as they…read moreopened on Saturday morning. I had seen content about GBC on Instagram before. Among other things, GBC creates charcuterie boxes, boards and grazing tables in certain sizes for retail and/or catering purposes. I believe they also host events and/or classes. I was hoping to get a charcuterie box for a small watch get together. I needed it Saturday morning and they were able to accommodate me even though they recommend on their website ordering 48 hours in advance. They were very nice to deal with and the shop was very nice. I was very happy with my small charcuterie box. It cost around $55, but the box felt heavy and was full of cured meats, cheeses, fruit, nuts, cucumbers and spreads. It was artfully displayed with different shapes and colors. They also provide a small box of crackers, which included the ones that look like thin slices from a fruit nut bread. Everything I tried was delicious and fresh. I highly recommend Gathering Board if you're looking for this type of food or service. They also had cheese, crackers, etc. available for purchase. 5 Stars
