There were 6 of us and the best part was smelling all the scents. Once you pick out your scents and decide what you want to make it smell like, the process is done by the people who work there. You do the scent drops until you're happy with the final scent, you hold the wick while they do the rest, basically. And not as a group, it's just as each person is done, you just get your candle poured and you're done. Out. Then you have to go back and pick it up. Another trip. When do you even have time for some BYOB? It was ok, had fun with my group, but won't be back for a smallish $50 candle.

Adorable hand made candle and gift shop!…read more The store is tucked away between the bike path and alt 19, next to Eddies. It's easy to miss, but it it's a must stop for the candle lover! It fun to stop in and smell all the candles. Tip-take them outside to get a real sense of what they smell like. They must have over 100 different candles! You will definitely find one or more that you love. I got the snicker doodle cookie one. Heaven! The candles are all handmade on site. The adorable little store is also packed full of wonderful gift ideas. Don't know what to get someone? Get them a hand made candle, and support a local business. All the artwork, for sale, in the store is made by local artists.

After a refreshing session at Embers & Ice this weekend, I heard about Lufka when we asked the…read moreinstructor what oil they were using in the sauna. I've been hearing that name circling lately in conversations, so my friend and I took the opportunity to immediately go check it out. It's located in Seminole Heights around some of my other favorite small businesses. Parking was easy on the street, but they also have a lot behind the store. The shop was clean and airy and inviting, and I was shocked by how many great products they sold. I love that they are zero waste and you can bring in your own containers. I'll be sure to check out their detergent, soaps and shampoo bar once I've used up my current products. I did pick up a clay face mask that I can't wait to try. It was a little bit on the pricier side at $25, but I liked the simple ingredients and wanted to support this great store concept. Also, they had a really cute area with their oils where you can make your own perfume ($29.99) or fill your own car freshener vials. I'll definitely be bringing friends back to do that together. I love this concept and their associate at the register was super friendly and helpful even throughout my many excited questions. What a great experience!

My boyfriend and I randomly wandered into Lufka Refillables Zero Waste Store in Seminole Heights…read moreafter grabbing coffee next door at The Lab and I'm so glad we did. The shop is super open, calming, and beautifully organized, and it immediately gave off the kind of vibe that makes you want to slow down and look at everything. They had such a wide range of products like body wash, natural toothpaste, face masks, candles, handmade soaps, and more. Everything is either refillable or handmade, and the ingredients were super clean, which I really appreciate. You can tell a lot of thought goes into what they stock. It didn't feel like just another store; it felt like someone's passion project. When we went to check out, the person at the counter (I think he was the owner) was so genuinely warm and welcoming. He asked if it was our first time in and took the time to walk us through how the store works and what they're all about. No pressure, no upselling, just someone who really cares about what he's doing and wants you to feel comfortable. It honestly made the experience even better, and I left feeling like I wanted to tell everyone about it. If you're in the area, even if you don't need anything, go check it out. Places like this deserve support not just for the amazing products, but for the people behind them.

I bought a Christmas gift for someone and was told I could come back and exchange it for a different size if needed.

This place is amazing…read more I love plants but am a bit of a plant serial killer. I can't tell you how many lovely green friends I've gone through throughout the years. I try, but I fail. I really put my best effort but always tend to over love them. I found Wild Roots and immediately fell in love with the place. I spoke to the girl who immediately greeted me. Told her about my love of plants and my murderous ways and she graciously walked me through the plants she thought I'd be good with. She took her time and made sure I had a good understanding on the watering needs as well as the sun desires of these lovely things So I took my time, walked around, and found 1 plant to call my own. I could have bought an entire forest worth but I wanted to make sure I was able to take care of the one I had before I slaughtered their entire inventory. So far so good my plant is still alive. I've been listening to the advice I was given and I can't wait to go back and something else to add to my apartment to make my home feel even more green.

It's so clean, bright, and full of fun items. There were THREE clearance sections, cards, seasonally themed collections, and all the wrapping options you could ever ask for! I found a discounted manual coffee grinder for camping trips, along with some cards and self-care must-haves. The staff are so kind, but they don't follow you around or pressure you into a particular section or purchase. I appreciated the wealth of knowledge they had to offer, plus all the sustainable packaging at their disposal. The biodegradable bags made my eco-friendly heart happy.

Several different options from covers, lined, unlined, dotted, smaller/closer lines vs more widely ruled.... I have tiny handwriting, especially with my better, more fine tipped pens I prefer to journal with, so finding a closely ruled journal I like isn't always easy. The wrapping paper options were also lovely, and the selection of items around the shop for not only journaling and book themed things was great, unusual but often undervalued items. My friend finally found more reusable makeup rounds, complete with their own storage bag, after she's been looking for a few months to replace the ones she's had and used for years but are starting to show some definite wear. The cashier and person assisting with stocking were both friendly and helpful without being pushy/overly involved (ALWAYS appreciated as an introvert!). I found not only the perfect journal for my preferences but also picked up a small craft project and both were very fair in price.

It may feel a bit pricey, but the experience and custom candle make it worth it. I went on a Monday afternoon and it felt cozy and almost private.
