Muse Cofffee, Seattle
There will forever be a soft spot in my heart for Brent Martin and his fabulous coffee shop in the Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle. Brent was my first ever order, and if you just want to enjoy a cup of Strip Teas tea prepared by one of the nicest guys on the planet in a super cool setting, head straight over to Muse @ 1907 10th Ave W. Tell him Emily from Strip Teas sent you!

Clever, Santa Monica

Clever is an adorable boutique on Main Street in Santa Monica featuring fabulous gifts, apparel, and accessories for just about any woman in your life. It is one of those stores where you feel like you could buy everything in sight because the merchandise is so carefully selected and beautifully displayed. I feel so honored to be included in owner Radka Opalka's array of beautiful things. When you stop by, be sure to check out Radka's jewelry collection - her work is gorgeous. And did I mention the live music, cocktails, and cookies Radka dishes out on a regular basis? I'm not sure it gets any better.

Brunette Mix, Seattle
Part hair salon, part boutique, Brunette Mix is a great find in West Seattle. And I'm particularly happy to be on the shelves of Brunette Mix because of its location in Seattle, coffee capital of the United States. Owner Bj Prokopof has beautiful jewelry, candles, books, bags, and other unique finds in the front of her shop and a full-service hair salon in the back. When I visited Bj the first time, it instantly felt like Brunette Mix was a neighborhood hangout. The women, both working and the customers, were laid back and obviously enjoying each others' company on a cozy, rainy Tuesday morning. I was so encouraged by their enthusiasm for Strip Teas and I hope you will stop by and visit them (and buy some tea of course!).

Museum of Sex Gift Shop, New York, NY
Yes, you read that right. For those of you who didn't know, yes, there is a Museum of Sex in Manhattan (5th Avenue no less) and yes, they have a gift shop and yes, you can buy Strip Teas there! According to their website, "In 2008, The gift shop at the Museum of Sex was voted the “best place to shop for a Last-Minute Gift” by New York Press." So let your curiosity get the better of you and stop by next time you are in town. I highly recommend a visit to the museum itself and of course, to the gift shop. :)
