Leaf-Live Enlightened And Free — Attraction in Vista

Walking into L.E.A.F in Vista feels like stepping into another universe. From the outside, you’d never guess such a magical sanctuary exists inside a shopping center. The moment I enter, the carefully curated mix of furniture, plants, jewelry, crystals, books, and stunning art takes my breath away. The ambiance is elevated with incense, gentle music, and the soothing sound of a water feature, it all creates an energy that feels both grounding and ethereal.

Today, I had the joy of meeting the artist Chris, whose watercolor work is absolutely stunning. Every piece radiates a soulful depth that matches the store’s atmosphere perfectly.

Personally, I struggle with anxiety, and though this isn’t the store’s intent, every visit feels like therapy. I can physically feel my stress melt away the moment I walk through the doors. I even told my husband that if I’m ever deeply anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed, he should bring me here, because this place shifts my energy without fail.

I came in today just for a pot, but what I left with was so much more: peace, inspiration, and a reminder that certain spaces hold healing energy. L.E.A.F is one of those rare gems that feeds the soul, and I know I’ll...

it’s ridiculous of this place to sell half of the perfume of a tiny sample sized bottle. I went in one day and purchased one of these sample sized perfumes and did not realize that I grabbed a half empty product size I assumed the front of the display were the samples to smell. So of course I think by grabbing one behind the ones in front that I’ll get an unused one, I accidentally ended up grabbing what I assumed to later have of thought to be a sample bottle. Tell me why I decide to return it the next day so, I could exchange it or get a refund and tell me why the cashier tells me I can exchange it but later as i’m about to exchange and purchase more things, she says she texted her boss to see if it’s possible. RIDICULOUS, but what was even more ridiculous was that the the boss says that those items can’t be returned. HOW? I never even used it and it was a spray bottle not a roll on. Furthermore, the cashier says that they tend to sell them like that, so why not warn customers ahead of time. Especially if they know that it can cause problems with...

I was introduced to this shop several years ago by a dear friend; my daughter and I got to visit on the opening day of the new space. What a marvelous treat! There isn't an inch of space that hasn't been touched by Chris' artistic talent and vision - all of the senses are engaged. And there is so much more to see - the inventory of everything has expanded exponentially so you not only see the smaller touches that make a space special (as in the previous space), there are also larger elements (furniture, pillows, wall hangings galore...) being offered so you can transfer the look and feel and make it your own. The layout is inviting and leads you further into light, and space, and an open gallery of wonderfulness. There's more of everything: books, magical things, crystals, jewels and jewelry, candles, art, wall-hangings and textiles... I might be gushing a little bit, but the short and sweet of it is this: GO!! You will be glad to have...
