New Store Location: Fleur Flower Shop in Chicago

August 29, 2011 Written by LaurenJ  

We’re excited to be selling at our first store in Chicago!  Fleur is a gorgeous flower shop in the Logan Square neighborhood.  They have a great location and a beautiful storefront right on the square to tempt passers by with the thought of fresh flowers.  And while we’ve never heard of this happening, we’re ready to plan a wedding just so the talented folks here can design us dozens of arrangements (wink wink).

In addition to an incredible array of flowers, they also sell an array of beautiful handmade products that are fun to buy as gifts (and gifts for ourselves are the best kind!) – unique tea towels, delicate vases, handmade cards, and now Chivas soaps, lip balm, face cream and our bath soak!  If you’re in the area, we highly recommend brightening your day with a trip to this store.  Say hi to Kelly while you’re in!

If you’re not in the area (as we expect many of you are not), you can always see their lovely floral arrangements on-line or on their Facebook page.  And you can view a list of all our store locations to see if there’s a store near you.  If not, we’re always open to your store recommendations (you can email us ideas here).

New Store Location: Jenny Wax in Santa Monica, California

July 16, 2011 Written by LaurenJ  

Jenny Wax is a boutique spa in Santa Monica, California, that specializes in brow and bikini waxing, as well as in organic Jurlique facials, massages and more.

I have known Jenny for years now.  We first became friends through my work with Your Daily Thread, which covers LA-based green companies like hers.  I now frequent her regularly in the summers to naturally tint my otherwise blond eyebrows and eyelashes for a make-up-free beach look.   Since it recently moved to a bigger and better location on Montana Avenue with a shabby chic waiting area and retail space, Jenny Wax now carries the full line of Chivas boutique goat milk soaps, facial cremes, lip balms and bath salts.  Here is a picture of the display (although looking back I wish I had taken a photo with Jenny too – you would love her)

And if you are in the market for a facial or waxing, I would highly recommend the friendly atmosphere of Jenny’s boutique!  Address:  1619 1/2 Montana Avenue, Suite A, Santa Monica, CA 90403.  Phone:  310.393.2560

Don’t live in Santa Monica?  Wish we were carried in a store near you?

Let us know if there is a store near you that might be a good fit for our products!   (Click here to contact us).
