The owner was able to pop in too, so it was cool to meet her. The vibes? Y'all, they have the vibes. The inside is GORGEOUS. It smells amazing and is filled with genuinely friendly people. The retired teacher, sorry I forgot her name, was so sweet and told great stories. As for the experience itself, at first I was nervous about blending oils and trying to create something amazing. But once I got the hang of it, I swear I created the perfect scent for me. I won't ruin the details for anyone else, but the scent I ended up loving was one I never expected to like. I truly shocked myself with that realization. I did not do the instructor led class, but whenever we had questions, they were there to help. All in all, the high of that day is something I'll always remember. Despite the nerves, I created a beautiful scent, and even creating the name was special. This was such an incredible birthday gift, surprise, and experience.

I was able to do a class with them and actually learned a lot from both the candle making and perfume making instructors. I left feeling and smelling good. This particular day was the anniversary of my mother's transition so this experience really brightened my day.

While exploring the NoDa area, I stumbled upon Blank Generation, and the moment I saw the word…read more"bookstore", I had to stop in! Total book nerd move, no regrets. This is a used bookstore with so much more to offer. Beyond books, they also carry unique knick-knacks like vintage clothing, arts, journals, and other thoughtfully curated items. The overall vibe is very bohemian and relaxing, the kind of place you can wander through and instantly feel at ease. As expected with a used bookstore, there's that classic old-book/thrift store scent, which comes with the territory and adds to the charm. The space itself is quaint, organized, and really cute. The bookstore section was my favorite, such a great selection across genres including mystery, romance, banned books, crime, and more. Truly something for everyone. I ended up purchasing two books, both reasonably priced and in great condition, which made the find even sweeter. The employee working that day was super friendly and helpful, answering my questions not only about the books but also about the surrounding area, which I really appreciated. I loved my time here and will absolutely be back to explore more books and browse the other unique items. If you're in NoDa and love bookstores with character, this spot is a must-visit.

I ended up buying a necklace and bracelet, which are both beautiful. The women at the checkout desk were friendly, funny and answered my questions as I am still learning about spirituality and growing my interest in the practice. Plus, many of their pieces were affordable, with items available on the cheaper end all the way to larger, more expensive crystals and sound bowl sets.

It's a fun store! They have a great selection of crystals. I definitely recommend checking it out.read more

I'm lowkey obsessed with Flows Grand aka Aubrey! This gorgeous shop inside of the Market at 7th…read moreStreet is like a slice of heaven. From the Owner Aubreys' super sweet and charming personality to the entire vibe of her shop, it's a must visit. I was in the Market for work meetings and stopped by to visit her shop. She has so many amazing smells and scents here that I knew I was going to buy something. You have to lol. I noticed a candle sitting under what I thought was just a lamp so I asked her what it was and she said it was a candle warmer. She explained to me that it melts the wax slower and the candle lasts longer. She also hand pours all her candles and makes the scents!! I was sold! I purchased a candle and a candle warmer and it's legit my new favorite thing ever lol. I always love supporting a small business, but this one is extra special to me now. Thank you Aubrey for such a great time with you and for this fun new addition to our home!!!

It was such a great atmosphere and I had such a nice time picking out my scents and decorating my candle! Aubrey was so nice and helpful! She gave me honest advice on my scents and helped me achieve what I was looking for. She was also just great to talk to, would check in every now and then but also let me get in my zone. The whole thing was 25$ which personally I think is a great price for a good quality candle that you get to customize yourself as well as decorate, And the container is reusable. Highly recommend 10/10 experience. Great little thing to do alone or with others!

And crafters who love writing and reading. And pen lovers and stationary sluts. Oops...sorry. That is a think though. The gorgeous layout on top of the fact that this place is a "Journal Bar" I mean lord have mercy!!!!! I invite you to come in sit at the window facing bar/counter etc. and journal! It's a dream come true and they should franchise and have one in Florida. I don't want to speak to the value b/c I didn't buy anything or pay attention to the prices b/c I was so caught up in the ambiance. Service seemed great for those engaging with the staff. I will definitely say this is a point back to paper source but not as commercial and not as distracted, if you will, with board games and soaps and lavendar eye pouches, if you will... I loved it here. I add it to the top of my list of experiences in Charlotte. Just to know it exists is to know there is good in the world. Another review giving it to you straight no chaser by the Hungry Poet. Enjoy! Lizz
