TibMabel Chong Review

The pieces at Mabel Chong are beautiful and elegant. The store offers a wide range, and the staff there is very patient and gives helpful recommendations without being pushy. My Mabel Chong earrings consistently receive compliments when I wear them...and I just feel so good wearing them! I've never had a problem with them breaking, and I own quite a number of them. I've also given them as bridal party gifts that were really well-received--the bride and the other bridesmaids absolutely loved them, and we all matched! Definitely browse the website, but for the really fun experience, you absolutely have to drop by the store and try some on.

Oxbridge House Review

Gold prices are at a record high and now is the time to cash in all that old, unwanted bling. Whether it's an old wedding set you no longer wear...a family heirloom that isn't your style...or just a mixed batch of unwanted jewelry that's been rolling around the back of your drawer, it's a great time to clean house. I can't recommend Oxbridge House enough. Located in Pacific Heights in a discreet building that gives not a clue as to the nature of your business, Roy Polyak handles your transaction with professionalism and efficiency. I was in and out in 10 minutes. Oxbridge House will buy your precious metals for a very fair price and cut you a check on the spot. If you're looking to liquidate precious stones, you might look elsewhere as you won't get credit for them here. Gold is definitely King.

NBL Styling Review

Nicole has a great eye for fashion and a special gift for being able spot a jewel of a bargain. She has completely transformed my closet, my wardrobe and my personal style with her great picks and flair. She is fun to work with which is so important. She's passionate about what she does and she always does her best to be sensitive about budget. I would highly recommend her closet clean out services. I believe everyone should do that for themselves at least once. She'll patirently go through you're whole closet to figure out what to keep, what to alter and what to donate. Then shop for items to fill in the gaps. She's amazing. Again she does it with a sense of humor and a smile. Highly recommended.

Terrasol Review

I first found this little shop last year just before Christmas when I was looking for an ornament for a party. They had such unique blown glass ornaments that it was hard to choose (especially since the prices were so reasonable). I discussed it with an employee and he helped me pick out a great one! I ended up with a martian in a spaceship for less than $20 and it was very high quality.

I was drawn in here the other night before going to Amelie right next door for wine. This time Halloween was beckoning. Blown glass Halloween ornaments, ceramic skull plates, and a cool skull decanter/shot glass set really stood out for me. I was also tempted by the assortment of candles they carry every day. I'll be going back to pick up a set of six mini blown glass ornaments that were only $12! Make sure to stop in here when you have plenty of time to look around because they have a ton of great stuff and you can get carried away looking at everything!

Crystal Shanks Review

I'm a small business owner in SF and decided to take Crystal up on her offer for an initial meeting. We've now been working together for about 6 weeks and I can honestly say I've done more in these 6 weeks than in the previous 6 months! For the first time ever I have an actual marketing plan, sales goals, and proven methods to increase sales and standardize my business. Its great to have the guidance and validation of a coach. I highly recommend Crystal to any business owner who wants to take control of their business and grow intelligently.
