Yesterday I spent time picking up litter close to the boat ramp. There were a lot of beer bottles and cans, some new and some that I found in an area that I had overlooked. I picked up a total of 50 gallons of litter. It was a cool, refreshing day, thank goodness!

When we opened our little shop, we had many goals, but the one at the top of the list was to partner with companies that give back. Giving back & supporting a community, or individuals, or causes, is really important to us. So, when we heard that one of our favorite bath & body companies was going to be supporting St. Jude‘s, we jumped right on it! We are happy to introduce musee_bath Shower Steamers & Candles. A portion of the profits from these items will go towards supporting St. Jude`s groundbreaking research & treatment of childhood cancer & other life-treating diseases.
SHOP HOURS:
Tuesday-Friday 11-5; Saturday 10-5
We’re in the ♥️ of Kensington
