I stopped in here with my husband yesterday, and I'm still suffering the effects. Lol…read more First off, it annoys me that The Body Shop closed and this is the only alternative at Valley River Center. But I thought I would give it another try. I went in for lotion. There was an employee by the door who greeted us. She was helpful, and told us about sales bins. So I was happy there. The store was clean and well stocked, which I appreciate. The biggest problem is still the migraine-inducing lights. They are horrible, and the entire cash registers are flooded with them, all pointed straight at you as you stand there. I actually put my sunglasses on inside the store because I couldn't handle the lights. It was horrible. Would I return? Not in the foreseeable future. I literally can't handle the bright lights in the store. I'll skip this store and order online from The Body Shop instead. It's a lot easier. Review 6 of 2025.

I've shopped at this location a lot since it's the only one in town. The prices have gone up but…read morethat's a corporate decision and individual stores have no say over that. The employees who work here are incredibly friendly and can be a bit pushy at times. They are very knowledgeable about all of the different scents, though. The store is well-stocked regularly. It does get super hot when there are a lot of people in there, and there isn't great cell signal so it can be hard to pull up coupons on your phone when you're checking out. I definitely recommend pulling up your coupons and screenshotting the barcodes ahead of time if you want to be sure you can use them when you get to the register.

I called this business 9 days before Christmas. I wanted to place an order, but I was concerned…read moreabout whether I would be able to get my candles in time to give them as gifts. The owner assured me I'd get the order in time, so I placed my order with the standard flat shipping fee and hoped for the best. The very next morning I opened my front door to find the candles already delivered and waiting on my mat. I'm stunned and impressed. I can only assume the owner paid out of pocket for overnight shipping, and I'm so very grateful to already have all my gifts in hand so I can take my time wrapping them. Absolutely excellent service!!!

As you might guess from the name, these are the folks to go to for beeswax candles. I've been…read morebuying from this web-based business for a couple of years, and love their products AND their prices. The Barth's (who own the business) make really good, consistent products, and their prices are lower than any other supplier I've found. For example, they have an oversized votive that fits most votive holders and burns longer. The burn time estimates on their web site are accurate; you really get 20 hours out of a large votive. They also make tea light replacements without the little metal or plastic cups, so you can reuse your tea light holders. Candles arrive nicely wrapped, well-packed, shipped by priority US mail. I got ours in three days. We burn a lot of votives and tea lights, and after years of experience, have switched completely to beeswax because it is a green product, and because it burns longer and cleaner than any other kind of candle. This is the most cost-effective and ecologically sensitive source I've found for candle lighting anywhere in the US.

Downtown Springfield is really going through a revitalization, and Earth Elements is a part of…read morethat. This store is really beautiful with a lot of items that will make your home beautiful. Their fragrance items seem to be a big part of their portfolio, and it's a worthy focus. They have some really nice scents here, ones that I would not have expected to like at all given the combo. For instance, there was one called Strawberry + Violet, and another called Watermelon + Plum that had a nice subtle scent. I don't like violet and would have thought the scents of the second candle would have been too strong and artificial for me, but I ended up buying both. They also have air fresheners that are handmade here, and can be made to have the same scents as the candles. There are a couple of particularly interesting things about the shop. You can come in and make your own candle, as they have a candle bar. I think when she gets there she turns on the crockpot or whatnot to melt the wax and then you can make your candle, so you should contact them if you're interested so you don't come too early before the wax is melted. Similarly, I believe you can make your own air fresheners as well by adding your floral accents and then choosing the scents that you want to add. And even more unique, this shop offers refills of their candles. You can purchase the large candle, and then once it's burned down you can purchase a refill for it. To do this you'd have to practice excellent candle maintenance so that it burned evenly! But I think this is so awesome, and a way of being more environmentally conscious. The owner was friendly and very patient with my questions. I may have sounded like this was the first time I had seen a candle because I was not sure I understood the candle refill thing, and the air freshener option, etc. They also carry items by other local artists, and have home decor items like prints, pillows, reed diffusers, clothing items, and so on. Earth Elements is a must-visit when you're in the area.
