Self-care is a vibe and Champagne Apothecary (38 School St, Westfield) emanates its own frequency reverberating with holistic health and wellness. Inside are handmade elixirs made by Amber - a professional connoisseur of skincare and herbalism. It's not as witchy as it sounds though. Champagne Apothecary is a brightly lit, cute little store that smells superb inside and offers loose leaf tea, beard balms & oils, books, and body care. A's Favorite Things include her ETHYST® facial cleanser, oil, toner & serum.
BudSuds Soapery (14 School St, Westfield) crafts artisan soaps, bath-bombs, candles, body scrub, and more.

Locally, there's an array of pet stores to patronize such as Scooter’s Bark & Bubbles, Westfield Feed, K-9s & Felines, Smithland (former Agway), and Simon Sez. When it's time to wash the pooch, bring your pup over to Scooter's Bark & Bubbles (185 College Hwy, Southwick) for their self-wash or grooming services. The owners at Westfield Feed (288 Union St, Westfield) are knowledgeable in helping you find ways to supplement your pet's meals. Smithland (81 Springfield Rd, Westfield) has an assortment of toys and tools to keep your dog's mind active during meals or the day at home. K-9s and Felines (45 Southwick Rd, Westfield) has a nifty little tool called a Tick Key that can go in your pocket, wallet, or on a keyring to keep your pet free from pests. And, if your dog is pulling, perhaps it’s time to consider a Sprenger prong Collar from Simon Sez (77 Main St, Westfield).
