I've visited this place in its old and new locations. They had some good sales on items that were close their expiration date, which was great for trying some new things at a lower price. The person who works there is helpful, but I always feel that she is not the most friendly. She keeps telling me that products I know are available are not, or second guesses what I am looking for. I don't feel particularly welcomed at this shop compared to others in the area, so I have stopped shopping here. Particularly since their move to a location where you have to be buzzed in, it just doesn't feel like a welcoming place.
As a result of some reading about mindfulness and sleep over the holiday break, I decided it was finally time to dip my toe into the world of CBD! After dropping off some returns at the UPS store next door, I found myself in Hemp It Up. The store is super inviting and you are welcomed by some vegan, organic wear - including hats, scarves, bags and more. I headed over to the large section labelled CBD and started my quest. I didn't catch the name of the person working, but I had a lot of questions, and she was SO MUCH MORE HELPFUL than the internet!! I wasn't sure the best place to start and she gave me three different options to test things out without investing a bunch of money into something I may not like. I ended up going with a CBD Maple Pecan Chocolate bar (shocking) and an 8 pack of gummies to get me through about a week of testing. She walked me through dosage, appropriate protocol, and what to expect. I am so grateful to her for demystifying the experience! I can't know for sure if it was *just* the CBD, but after eating half of my CBD chocolate bar in two separate servings, I had the most focussed day of work and best night of sleep I have had in a WHILE. I am going to go back next week and pick up a small vile of oil (the other option she suggested for me) and see what changes result from that as well. Hemp It Up has made me a loyal customer as a result of their tailored customer service and wide range of CBD products. Did you know this store also owns Bodymind Float Center two doors down?! Talk about a zen state of mind!
They have a great selection and the prices are reasonable. The staff is always very polite and helpful. Oh, and when you're done you can go to the Bodymind Float Center next door--owned by the same person who owns the Hemp store. The tanks are so great, a very peaceful and relaxing experience. And there too the staff is always so pleasant and helpful.
