“We stopped into Essentially Zen on recommendation from the pet supply shop downstairs. I was looking for seasonal candles that didn’t contain any synthetic or potentially harmful ingredients so I was super excited to look around. Everything in the store was amazing! The scents were incredible with a wide variety of personal care products available - candles, bath bombs, body + face products, and a variety of other smell good items for your home. We had a chance to speak with the owner, who also makes the products, and she was so helpful, friendly and knowledgeable answering any questions we had about the store or Staunton in general since we are from out of town. Everything is made in store with all natural ingredients that are pet and child safe. I got some amazing seasonal scented candles I can’t wait to try; highly recommend stopping in!”
“Cute shop with good selection of items from VA. Found what I wanted for gifts to send to a friend who lives in Europe. They actually had some post cards which is rarer to find in shops anymore.”
“Neat little shop in downtown Staunton. Stopped in for abit while in the area visiting several weeks ago. Variety of items for sale made in USA. Is not a huge store. Small little shop.”
“This is one of my very favorite stores! They have all kinds of goods that are just my vibe!!! Staff is super friendly and helpful. Really great variety of merchandise. Super cool store!!!”
“Delightful little store - and by far our absolute favorite in downtown Staunton. Everything in the store is adorable! Ended up purchasing a cute bracelet but was also eyeing the cowboy boots! Would definitely visit again!”
“A delightful store with many very tasteful home and decor items. I love just going in to browse the items, because the atmosphere is so peaceful and inviting. Catina and her delightful staff are pure joy and more than helpful. What a wonderful treasure to have this business here in the Valley!”
