Tiny, tiny, little shop with a LOT of healthy products to keep your home clean and organized. Great personal care items that help your body glow, feel good, and smell nice! Their inventory is made with natural ingredients packaged in less or waste-free containers. Ask questions about and then try out their products. #Plastic-Free

I really appreciate the pickup and delivery service! So easy to use the website for ordering, and not having to head out in public these days is such a relief. I'll hit you up when I run out of the bath supplies, and will expand to dishwashing/laundry supplies when I need those next too!

I stopped by a few weeks ago for bulk shampoo and body lotion. The quality is great and I was pleasantly surprised by the price too - several buck less than I would have expected to pay for comparable pre-bottled products. I'll be back to branch out!

I love this store and the owner is charming. All the items for our home to go zero plastic. It's ideal for a chemical sensitivity soul like me. It's everything this customer is looking for and would have to shop online to find otherwise.
