As a “blogger,” I love reading “blogs.” Especially the blogs that flow so eloquently from the person who got me started blogging. My Boss, my mentor and my son-in-law. His January blog was filled with his favorite picks from the store. I have to admit I share his love for Eco-Armour’s Shaving Foam and Body Wash, Snack Taxis, Sunleaf Natural’s Reed Diffuser, and of course, our yummy, “Ubber” soft Latex mattresses! As the oldest employee (by decades), a good nights sleep is a deal breaker to getting to work on time these days… So it’s latex beds for everyone!
However, good buddy and boss Ryan, I want to add a few favorites to the list, if I may? From a little different perspective, I would like to suggest including some “girlie girl and grandma” items. First and foremost, is anything from our gentle and pure cosmetic line, Alima. I applied and then sold my first eyeshadow to a customer in 1969. I knew I was hooked. To this day cosmetics is my secret pleasure, and Alima is the best for my critical eye and limited budget. The colors are rich yet soft, wear well, and stay true throughout our busy, busy days. What more can a girl ask for when she is caught between meetings or family and dinner out on the town.
Ahhh, then there is another favorite of mine, jewelry! Your never too old for a great bracelet. Moss Envy not only has the most diverse and exciting jewelry pieces, but the artists who create these delightful adornment choices continue to surprise us on a regular basis with new and stunning collections. If I didn’t already work and shop at Moss Envy, I would be here on a regular basis, just to check out the jewelry. The best part is there seems to be a style for everyone’s taste. That makes gift giving a whole lot easier when you need the perfect gift.
My last choice has a special spot in our store and my Grandma’s heart. The baby and children department is a hit with anyone who has a baby, knows a child or just believes everyone deserves safe products in their lives. The soft textures and whimsical colors of our baby clothes makes them irresistible. Bamboo fabric maintains it’s softness throughout the life of those little socks, bibs, hooded towels or baby sized washcloths. And what about toys? Toys have gotten to be a bit scary lately. Who wants to find out after months or years of playing with your favorite toy, it has lead or toxins infused in those beautiful colors?. No need to worry, when you purchase one of the many toy options that fill our shelves and the starry eyes of your little shopper. We have done our “homework,” so you don’t have to. Just come and play…
Well, Ryan, I have to admit, it is harder than I thought to pick just a few “favorites” from a store that only sells “our favorites.”
The origins of concept trace back to Buffalo, NY in August of 2011 – organized by blogger Christopher Smith. Other independent waves of organization sprouted up later in the year led by Andrew Samtoy, an attorney at Dworken & Bernstein in Cleveland, OH. Since then, Cash Mobs have been popping up all across the U.S., Canada, and around the world. While organized by many different groups of people, all appear to have the same goal in mind: to support the local businesses that they love! Here’s a quote from Christopher Smith:
