We all made a candle and a room spray and I love both! They smell amazing and I have made candles at a different place like this and got home and the candle didn't even have a scent. . I like how they have it set up that you can smell the oils together that you want to mix. Great idea! Other place I had been to you had to smell the candle but couldn't smell it together so hard to see what would mix well. Fun place to just do with one friend or a bunch of friends! Plenty of options in the area that are walkable for lunch or dinner! We will definitely be back! Loved it! Thanks Inluro!

I visited Inluro for a girls' night and overall had a really nice experience. When I first walked…read morein, the place smelled amazing. The space is open, cozy, and beautifully set up with candles, scents, and other products along one wall, plus a large bar area where all the candle-making happens. Once I found my friends, we were greeted right away and started our session. We began by choosing our scents. My friend asked a few questions about scent profiles & while the staff member helping us was friendly, the guidance was a little limited. She mostly encouraged us to "explore and figure out what you like first," which was totally fine, but I think my friend was looking for a bit more direction. There are tons of scents to choose from, though I did notice a few had a slightly chemical note under the main fragrance. I ended up choosing vanilla bean, cinnamon and vanilla, and snickerdoodle, and the mix turned out perfect. After picking our scents, we chose our candle holders. They had a good variety, but the cuter ones all had the store logo printed on them, which I personally found a little tacky, so I went with one without the branding. At the bar, our instructor walked us through the process of slowly mixing our scents and smelling as we went. Following her advice really helped because my candle turned out beautifully and exactly how I imagined. After pouring the oils and stirring for a few minutes, we were done. Compared to another candle-making class I've taken, this experience was much quicker and less detailed, so if you're looking for something deeply involved, this might feel pretty simple. But if you want a cute, quick activity and a nice candle to take home, it's perfect.

With a fun and cheerful instructor to guide and teach, party goers get a mound of fresh clay to mold themselves. Forget the pre-fab trinkets to paint. This is hands-on from start to finish. Parties are *only* held on Fridays from 6:30-8:30 so don't waste time when deciding to book. Dates can fill up fast. For $275, Naper residents get a 2-hr party for 12 party goers. This includes all paint, clay, and glazes. This fee also includes all paper and plastic birthday products as well as a Birthday Cookie Cake or Cupcakes provided by Naper's much loved DeEtta's Bakery. The little masterpieces are available for pickup two weeks after your party and party hosts are in charge of getting them to the invited artists. To note: you have to book at least 2 weeks in advance by calling 630-848-3619. PS: It's an unrecognizable address, but Studio One is the little building next to the Skate Park and Centennial Beach. They share the same parking lot.

They have different locations throughout the suburbs. I've never consigned with them, but have several friends who have and they say it was worth it and would do it again. I've gone to this one a few times in the past years and I usually find a handful of things I need for the kids. The fall sale has good deals on Halloween costumes. Feb 2019 I found a ton of Disney shirts in great condition. Since we're planning a trip to WDW soon this was awesome! The things I like to try and look for are puzzles, games, and clothes. They also have big ticket items like strollers, cribs etc. Follow their FB page for when they have their hours and when their 1/2 prices days start (near the end of the sale.) They also post early admission tickets there. The opening day of the sale is usually insanely crazy. Be prepared for long lines (they also limit stroller usage during those times.) I hate crowds so I'm perfectly content waiting a few days and going during the week when it's less busy.

This parking lot is more full than United Center? Ulta employee: I think they just opened a clothing resale for kids...not sure. (Smile/Shrug) Me: Thanks! I'll check it out. And I did. This place is packed full of resale children's clothing/toys/etc. Of course, prices are reasonable. Here are some tips about navigating this place: 1. Don't go on a weekend. Go in late morning on a weekday- avoid d the insanity! 2. Plan to be here for a little while..it's not just a grab and go type of place. Too much to sort through. 3. If you have to at look at something twice (or thrice), don't buy it. You won't use it. 4. Best for boys clothes age 2-8. Happy Hunting!

I definitely recommend taking the time to visit all 5 buildings. If you're the kind of bargain hunter that likes digging for deals you will get your fill here. That said, I don't know that it's an ideal all-ages family event. If you have a family member who is particularly interested in railoading defintely bring them along, and there were a few layouts to look at but not alot else for kids to do. Also, I can't imagine trying to naviate this place with a stroller. Still, it's only $7 for adults and kids and parking are free so a pop-in with the little ones just to see the trains is not an expensive proposition. I'll definitley be back to shop next month but until my kids are a bit older (8-9 or so...) I'll probably stick with visiting area train club open houses which tend to be free and -by nature of being permanent- more visually impressive.

Overall, it was a totally fine experience. That being said, there were some specific rules/costs I…read morehaven't encountered in other pottery painting spaces. 1. There is a $20 fee for simply painting in the space on top of the items you paint/purchase. I suppose this is normal in some places, but I was not accustomed to this. 2. You can only choose five colors, people from the studio have to pour it for you, and you have to wait for them to come around to each table to get more paint. Certain paint colors cost more than others. I understand that the staff members pouring for you is a way to prevent wasted paint, but it was very awkward and inconvenient. There were only two staff members for a crowded room. 3. The space is small and the tables are quite close together. We came on a very busy day, so I would suggest calling ahead to see if there are multiple open tables. It isn't necessarily a relaxing environment for painting. We were able to paint and have a fun time together. That being said, I think the lack of space in the studio, the paint rules, and lack of staffing led to a "just okay" experience. I wouldn't necessarily want to go back.
