I'm leaving soon for a much needed dose of sunshine, and will find myself awfully close to Essential Depot in Sebring, Florida. They have limited hours and days that they are open to the public, but the stars have somehow aligned and their timeframes will work great for me. On top of that, they say they'll share wine with their guests/customers. My kind of place! So I will try very hard to make this work.
The real plus here for me is that they only ship a few items to Alaska, so most of their inventory has been off-limits to me. Like the great (and cheap) red silicone mold that everyone raves about! They will ship lye up here but not a mold -- go figure! So anyway, this is on my hot list and it will make the trip worth it if I leave with nothing else (but a tan of course).
It appears from the FAA website that I can check in my baggage up to 68 fluid ounces of "hazardous material" EOs/FOs (perfumes/toiletries/medicinal items), as long as the individual bottles don't exceed 18 oz. I was shocked (and thrilled!) by this -- am I not reading something right?

I am really hoping I like their lavender (no more of that camphor crap please!), but I'll have room for more as long as I don't pack too much other stuff (what more do I need than shorts, snorkel, and swimsuit anyway). I am so excited as shipping is such an issue to Alaska!
Has anyone ever been to the Essential Depot store, or have any favorite CP scents you order from them? Give me your recommendations for scents to sniff and other items to oogle over! Unfortunately they are going to limit me to just 3 hours in the store -- I guess they know how we soapers are -- so I better go prepared with a list!
