These candles are hands-down the best you will smell. They are the only candles that I buy now, and…read moreI currently have seven lined up along my shelf. It's hard to limit myself as the scents are amazing! It's hard to pick a favorite, and as soon as I think I've narrowed it down to two or three, Bobbi-Jo comes out with new, fantastic scents! It's not just about the candles, though. The sugar scrubs are to die for. I'm one of those people who stock piles different shower scrubs/gels/washes to try but I have to say that hands down these scrubs are the best I've ever tried! It's the perfect amount of exfoliate, smells amazing, and made my skin feel amazing. I've also tried and enjoyed the Roll-on Perfume and the Body & Linen Spray. The scents aren't overpowering and are perfect for an alternative for room spray. The scent clings to the fabric for a smell that lasts for days! And to boot Bobbi-Jo is super nice and sweet!

Located at the Seaport Farmers Market in Halifax, this booth is laden with Soy Candles and lotions…read more I was looking for something specific though and when we started chatting the owner said she could customize anything. She handed me her card and away I went. The only way I know of to contact her is via email at: nytewicks@gmail.com Back to my story. I emailed her on Monday with my request and on Sunday I picked up my custom scented body lotion. And it is awesome!!! And I thought that 14.95 for an 8oz bottle was very reasonable. If you have a penchant for candles (I smelled them all and they are lovely) or a body lotion, you should check her out!

I had my first Bath and Body Works experiences when I lived in Ottawa, and having liked it so much…read moreI was relieved to find that there was a B&BW store at Mic Mac Mall. This store is great for all things scented- with fragrant blends for each individual taste. Those who like fresh scents will love the citrus-y notes of the lemon fragrances. Playful personas with love the sweet pea products. And those into the classics with like the warm vanilla goodies. Those are just a few of the varieties you'll find in this store- and with the changing seasons, the store tends to add new flavor sensations. There are lots of products to choose from, ranging from rich lotions and body sprays, to a handful of hair products. For me I like the antibacterial soaps and sanitizers; where I work, I need all I can get. I like Bath and Body Works' sanitizers because they feature nice, fresh scents (not like the classic alcohol stench that comes from standard, pharmacy-brand sanitizers). Also, Bath and Body works has great secented products for the home- very, very useful if you own a dog, trust me. I sampled one of their aroma diffusers for my apartment back in Ottawa- it's kind of like a Glade plug-in, but they come in the classic Bath and Body Works stores. I'll admit that my Glade plug-ins certainly suffice, but once in a while, if I feel like switching things up, I'll use these diffusers for fresh scents. There aren't really cosmetics at this store, per se. But, there are a selection of bins with ssmall items like lip glosses (I bought a tasty, red-tinted gloss that was cranberry scented for the holidays, and in the past I've had one that smelled like a vanilla cupcake- yum!). Gift-giving is easy at this store. Home scents and body products are packaged in attractive gift sets and baskets. They're available year round, but during the holiday season, there are tons to choose from- and they're all reasonably priced sets. Next time you're at Mic Mac, check out this store- you'll like it!

I am always drawn to the Mic Mac Mall, I'm not sure why but I enjoy it much more than our other…read morelocal mall. But it could be because of this particular shop. I am absolutely in love with BBW! The amazing scents that enter my nostrils before I even enter the store make me weak in the knees. Not only the smell draws me in, but also the prices. There is always some kind of deal, and as I have said before I am sucker for them. That being said I spent nearly $30 on my last trip in, and came out with at least 10 different items. From hand sanitizers to lotions to candles to air fresheners, BBW has them all. From vanilla to citrus to jasmine to pomegranate, there is a fragrance for everyone. The only negative thing I have to say is; the bf hates it. Why? Scents sometimes bother him. SO for those of you out there who have these sensitivities, do not enter So I'll leave you with this: Oatmeal Caramel Cookie Candle.

So I went back in this morning to grab another deal on my email- first I asked if they had any of…read morewhat I was looking for- they said no- what ever is left is on shelf. The person that said no was readjusting everything in the shelf and the products I requested, once I looked over at the shelf were staring him right in the face-poor. Then at cash I asked if they had the wall plugs I wanted and she says no none left as the sake was over. I got home and double checked, called back and the woman who answered said they did have them and the sale was still on until today- wow! Double check your products and information please as this left a bad taste in my mouth from just yesterday! Won't be back for a bit now as customer service can make or break a purchase and a good review!

We saw it from the main road, and just dropped in. Much better than the Tim Hortons, KFC, or Subway which are the only other options for food (just on the other side of the freeway from Mastodon Ridge).

The Market is certainly not a "centre d'extortion". Funny though.

The new owner is equally as cool as Rick, although there is no canine presence, which is probably a good thing in the PC world we seem to live in now. The new store is completely different from the old Market but also quite the same. You can still buy papers, bongs, flags, t shirts, pins, buttons, and much more. Records are back too, in a big way, and there are even turntables available (not always). Remember, this isn't 1985, and this isn't the flea market. The prices reflect that. Get over it and enjoy yourself inside this gem of a shop, and bring your blunt smoking/record buyer friends too.

Tea, chocolates, fancy paper, cards, hand bags, home wares this is a "get all of your gift shopping done in one place" kind of store. The store is nice and spacious with a good flow to it, and is packed with goods without being over packed. It's definitely full, but not so much so that you have to sort through piles of things to find what you're looking for. Whoever does the merchandising for Kept knows what they're doing, I'll say that for sure! If you're looking for local gifts, they've got some local products in here too. I noted some local card makers up on the second floor - if it can be counted as a second floor? - and Rousseau's has chocolates there, for instance. And in the not local category, they have Rifle Paper Co. here. I'm completely in love with the Rifle Paper Co. art style, so that made me incredibly happy!
