This is a great place to visit if you’re starting to consider making your own home bath and healthcare products. I wanted to experiment with making some beard oils for my husband, but didn’t want to buy full-sized bottles of all the ingredients on the outside chance that I didn’t like a particular oil or scent ($$$ down the drain). Instead I was able to come here and create mixtures from the shop’s bulk-sized oils and variety of essential oils. Once I find a combination I like, I can come back and make larger batches until I feel comfortable working with the different components and can do it all on my own. That being said, there are a lot of lovely essential oils here to play with and get used to, so I know I’ll keep coming back to try making new products. It’s a fun, unique place to go if you’re looking to get into DIY bodycare, and from what I’ve seen, there are a lot of people who go there for herbal remedies for medical issues (though that isn’t something I’ve explored).

C. Baker & Co – Menu with Prices – 421 E Broughton St, Savannah

Saw a little postcard at our B&B about this place (which was only two blocks away) and was tempted to go…and it was such a find! This locally owned/operated store is located in the less commercial end of Broughton but a MUST visit — you must seek this out. Some local tour guides include this shop in their foodie tours. Yes, they have honey (and free tasting if you need some help deciding) — the owner Kristen was so lovely and helpful with everything! The different honey products were all amazing….and then some! Found lovely other items and decided to get a ton of early Christmas shopping done! The hair/skin products are wonderful — organic, natural, essential oils. Had to get some lavender balm (okay, a few tubes) to take home. Then, found some amazing soy candles scented with essential oils (burns 80 hours per label!): jackpot on gifts for many lucky friends. They also have a website which I am sure to check out (since I’ll probably be ordering more things as holidays approach). Since it was only the start of our day, the owner offered to keep our purchases ‘in the back’ while we continued to stroll around — and since our inn was so close, she even volunteered to drop it off if needed! Such customer service is rare, but very appreciated (not something you would get from a ‘chain’ store). Everyone who comes to Savannah should stop by!!!

Health Trail Natural Foods – Menu with Prices – 10848 Warwick Blvd, Newport News

I’m so happy to have found this place, I can finally have a closer drive for my vegan/vegeterian products! This place has your basic health food store stuff like shake mixes, fresh produce, nuts, vitamins, essential oils, beauty products and spices as well as canned goods. It’s located near the Hilton area in NN in the strip by a Food Lion. Lots of parking and generally a safe area. The staff here is great! There knowledgable and if they don’t have an item they recommend a place that does and they even help you with recipes for homemade products. I like getting my essential oils for my homemade products here, they also sell other base products like castille, vitamin E and vegeable glycerin. The prices are a tad bit more expensive than the Vitamin Shoppe but theres more quality. I also get their vegan protein powders here too, lots of brands but Garden of Life is the best! They have lots of discounts usually on this brand as well as others. Theres a couple of fridges that sell frozen and chilled items, most of the brands you could get at target and a nicer food lion…like the one next door( i.e boca, morning star and amys) but they also have some rarer goodies like chilled wheatgrass, rice/almond cheese and a good variety of ice cream. The produce section is tiny but its kept in great shape! Lots of energy bars and the homeopathic medication has a lot of selection. Theres a good sized nut section for a good deal. They do bulk orders in advance. They have seasonal feature items on the endcap and they sell loads of teas. However, my favorite part of the store is definitely their spices. They have all sorts of spices and I usually buy one I’ve never heard of and later research a dish I can make with it. For being atypical spices I feel its a super cheap price at 1.50. Overall, I recommend this place to anyone on the Peninsula as the SE side has stores just as great, dare I say better ( Heritage in Va Beach + Organic Depot in Norfolk). But for NN its a great little find way better than the health food store in yorktown.

Natural Releaf – CBD & Kratom – Menu with Prices – 3325 N Halsted St, Chicago

I like this spot. Super minimalist interior. They have a number of CBD only hemp flower strains for sale. Some of the strains have a play on cannabis strain names. Like Durban Potion (Durban Poison), Suver Haze (Silver Haze), AC Diesel #2 (AC Diesel) and more. Each strain has a dif. mg potency of CBD so definitely ask to take a closer look. They also have pre-rolls of some strains available. There are a number of CBD products like lotions, bath items or bath bombs, oils, and pet products for a traveling pet that skews nervous. Prices for flower are pretty reasonable. Note that the products don’t have THC in them, but if you’re looking for something mellow without any super strong effects, you might want to stop in and buy something!

Bay Naturals – Menu with Prices – 7611 N Kings Hwy, Myrtle Beach

Angela? Lady who works up front just treated me to the worst customer service experience I have had since moving here. They have a lot of essential oils on the shelf as you walk in and I came in to buy some as a gift for my wife. It is a hodgepodge mess, some are open to smell, others are in a box. I opened a eucalyptus one and she immediately came over and angrily confronted me that that particular one was not to be opened. I told her I would buy it just to avoid drama, so when I checked out I commented that there was no sign as to what was openable and what wasn’t. She couldn’t resist one last jab, “Some things are just common sense”. My wife and I have eaten there every week for some time, but I will never set foot in this place again. That much hostility towards a paying customer (you could feel it) doesn’t deserve my money, or anyone else’s for that matter. Going to KINDbelly from now on! Is she the owner?

Artiâ??s Lashes and Brows – Menu with Prices – Inside Phenix Salon Suites, 19800 Hawthorne Blvd Suite 101, Torrance

Ok, I dont usually write reviews but ….I just got to say “i love this girl”. nice ,friendly and very professional. I met arti when she was still working at seva inside walmart, Now i am so glad she has her own spot we can go to ! Appointment is sooo easy. Very accomodating. I didnt have a regular eyebrow lady back then and just go wherever , but since i met arti i nver let anyone touch my eyebrows anymore. I kept coming back until i am one of her regular customer already! Arti always do a great job! All the girls that lined up at seva before are there just because of her. She dont only do a great job with eyebrows ! She does great lashes, facial and all that beauty essential a girl would want. Price is very affordable, i always get this clustered lashes and eyebrows for $25!! Who can beat that?, I always gets compliments with my brows and lashes btw ! Well overall, always a great experience. If you wAnt a great eyebrows and lashes yall better start making an appointment asap.

Cheyenne Stylist and Barber – Menu with Prices – 1060 Willow St Suite #8, San Jose

I just got my first cut and color with Cheyenne and I am out of this world impressed! I have always been very nervous getting my hair done by someone new, and Cheyenne defied my expectations. First and foremost, I love how friendly Cheyenne is and I felt so at home in her salon. I could really tell she actually enjoys what she does, not just goes through the motions because it’s her job. She is great about making sure you feel comfortable and are happy with what she is doing. She would constantly be asking me “is this length ok” or “are you happy with how this looks”. She showed me the color she was going to do before she applied it. Her prices are also EXTREMELY reasonable. No, you’re not going to get a $10 haircut but…you get what you pay for and if you want a $10 cut, Supercuts has a yelp page too. I’ve gotten my hair cut and colored in other places in the area and Cheyenne is definitely not price gouging. I was also extremely happy because Cheyenne does not try to pressure you into more services or to buy products. The last salon I went tried to sell me on different treatments and products and it was super sleazy. Cheyenne will offer advice and recommendations if you ask her, but I did not feel like I was fighting her every step of the way trying to get out of buying things I did not want. All in all, I am so thrilled with my hair! As much as I love my color I am actually really excited for it to fade so I can come back and have something else done ?

The Ancient Olive – Menu with Prices – 47 King St, St. Augustine

The Ancient Olive is the best store to get high quality designer olive oils and balsamic vinegars. With so many different flavors to choose from it can be overwhelming making choices. Fortunately the knowledgeable employees are very helpful. You can taste the vinegars and oils and they even give you suggested pairings so you can try different combinations together. Personally I have a little difficulty sipping the oil and vinegar straight. Perhaps if there was a cube of bread or cracker it might be easier to appreciate the tastings. On a positive note, they do offer suggestions of uses for the different flavors and there is a website you can get recipes. You can also keep your bottles and return for refills for a $1 discount even if you want to get a different flavor. The store also offers a variety of specialty food items. I really appreciate the variety of local products you can find in this beautiful store right on King Street in the heart of historic St Augustine. There are closer specialty olive oil stores, but none as good as this one. The customer service is awesome in this store. If you are sight seeing or taking time to have a meal and do not want to carry your purchases with you, they will even hold them until you are ready to leave for the day.

Penguin’s Frozen Yogurt – Menu with Prices – 2180 Westwood Blvd # 1A, Los Angeles

Don’t, just don’t go to Penguins. There are usually 1-2 machines that are not working – for weeks/months at a time, flavors that don’t taste right and the quality…is less than impressive (runny or icy or lacking flavor). For months now, the owner has neglected to fix the machines and keeps whining about how “the repairmen don’t come, what can I do, it’s expensive,”…blah blah blah. Then when she gets BATCHES of bad flavors, she decides to sell them and thinks that the customer will pay for inferior products because she “can’t” send them back and her distributor won’t do anything (not the customers problem! Fix it!). There is always some sorry excuse to why she has to offset her prices to her customers….when she drives her Mercedes, BMWs and other luxury cars and goes on vacations all around the world. Really. NOW to make things even more insulting, with machines not working for MONTHS and selling off her inferior products thinking she can get away with it, SHE INCREASES HER PRICES!!! Wow….Such. Bad. Business. I feel badly for her staff that has to endure the complaints from the customers when SHE can take care of things and keep the customers happy. Shame on her.

Scooter’s Coffee – Menu with Prices – 5 Old 63 S, Columbia

I usually go to Starbucks on Broadway which I hate becausr ya know so i made a point to go to scooters. I asked for a medium mocha, the drive thru girl asked if i wanted that hot or cold. In my head i remember thinking why do they even ask that when it’s -15 °F and told her hot. When i got to the window they handed me a cold mocha, which looked great but not what i asked for. Usually I would live with the mistake cause i HATE making service industry people do more work that necessary (im a waitress) but i decided I would be unhappy if i didnt voice the error because just to clarify, I really wanted a hot mocha. I say it in the nicest, shyest, we all make mistakes sorta way as to make sure she didnt get upset or annoyed. The drive thru window girl then proceeded to disagree with me I said cold, almost argue…which was just awkward and i tried to give the mocha back that i hadnt even pulled through my window and she refused which i understand for health code but i wasn’t trying to get a cold mocha so it makes sense I would try to give it back. Scooters then does remake the hot mocha, but they had the manager give it to me and nobody said youre welcome when i said thank you or sorry, just “yup”. Pretty rude and i wouldn’t go back because the Starbucks on Broadway weirdly goes out of their way to be extra friendly and accomodating. And the prices are the same but they arent rude, EVER and i consider this starbucks super superior to any ive been to. Scooters made their own coffee taste bad to me, bad enough to leave this review. And with Starbucks right their, a giant competitor, I would have thought harder about how to treat customers in that manner. Won’t be going back! Hope they dont make you feel like human trash for telling them of their own mistakes in the nicest way possible!

Churchill’s Fine Teas – Menu with Prices – 2681 Edmondson Rd, Cincinnati

We grew up on tea. Ice tea in the Summer. Hot tea in the winter. However, I was not aware of all the subtleties of of teas and the variety. We boiled water threw in some Lipton tea then drank it. Being in the health field I am particular interested in Herbal Teas. Who has not heard of the health benefits of green tea in particular? Their teas are mostly loose teas ground coarse.This is what is recommended for maximum health effects. Coarse teas retain their essential oils better than finely ground. This is where I go to get my all my teas. A large variety and a very knowledgeable staff.

Sage Organics – Menu with Prices – 3304 Taylor Rd # D, Chesapeake

this store is pretty good. I’m glad I stumbled upon it. they are rather expensive but do have some of the stuff I can’t really find elsewhere locally. I like how quaint this store is. it feels like you could just hang out, watch some tv, and sip a spot of tea. it’s minimalist charming in that way. All of the staff seem super nice and will answer any & all questions you have or locate any products you can’t find. The store is confusing for me so I always need help finding things. And yes, you may have to ask/approach them, they are totally unobtrusive. They have herbs, vitamins, juices, foods, organic cotton clothing, kids selections, beauty products, cleaners, incense, oils, & other stuff I’m probably forgetting. Also, in order to avoid expensive overhead, they may not have all of the products you want at the time you go in, but they really are accommodating and will order anything you need. at least I know they did in my situation. I like Sage and will recommend them to anyone looking for the healthier type stuff and vitamins, etc… Support local, right? Right!!

The CBD Shoppe Menu with Prices 9901 Hageman Rd Suite 700, Bakersfield

I just left from the grand opening and man this store is not only clean and well set up but it is huge! All of the employees that I came in contact with were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful about explaining all of the products available. They have so many options for CBD in every form. You name it and they probably carry it. Oils, topicals, edibles, and more in every strength and lots of flavors. If you are new to all of the uses of CBD you should seriously come by and ask as many questions as you need to and they will be happy to help. If you are already knowledgeable come check out there selection.
