This eclectic shop just might be the only place that sells Sea Monkeys and sea sponges under one roof. Bath products range from high-end—Thymes (best-selling Wild Ginger Body Lotion, 385 mL, $6.95), Acca Kappa, Lothantique and Italian Speziali Fiorentini (Fig and Poppy bath and shower gel, 300 mL, $25)—to high style—fun and funky Blue Q’s Dirty Girl (Triple Whipped Body Cream, $16.95) and Miso Pretty (cherry flavour lip balm, $7.95). Canadian lines include the Rocky Mountain Soap Company: its minimally packaged bars, with such earthy monikers as North­ern Exposure and Pump­kin Patch, are $4.95 each; body butter sticks (which look like twist-up deodorants) include Belly Butter for moms-to-be and Baby Butter ($12.95 each), made for sensi­tive newborn bottoms.
