I finally got to see my mom’s new store location in person the other day and honestly… I was SO impressed. They have put so much love and work into this space and it really shows. They’ve expanded everything even more and still somehow managed to make it feel welcoming and fun inside.

One of the highlights of our whole trip was actually the gem mining station! We ended up spending way more time there than expected because it genuinely felt like we were just kids having fun.

We also left with way too many goodies for ourselves and our people back home… the famous lotion candles, some 3D puzzles, snacks, shirts, hats, random little finds, all of it! We found more in each room we walked into and ended up checking out 3 separate times! We ended up bringing home the 3D puzzles and turned it into a fun low-key date night of putting them together and watching a movie (or two).

Seeing everything they’re building in person and hearing all the plans they have for this space, honestly just makes me really excited! For them, and for the community. You can tell they really want this to become one of those places people come to hang out, explore, bring family to, make memories at, and keep wanting to come back to 💛 In my completely unbiased opinion (; this is definitely a place worth stopping by.
