At Naked Body + Bath, customers can pour the bath product of their choice into big brass tubs of warm water before slowly submerging their feet into a fragrant bath. These complimentary foot soaks—lauded by KHOU-11 as “heaven”—are one of many ways Naked Body + Bath empowers customers to experiment with the store’s selection of all-natural, customizable bath products.

To find ideal skin serum, customers begin by perusing a selection of unscented bath soaps, creams, salts, and lotions that are free of parabens and other chemicals. They then can dress them up with more than 200 fragrant oils, botanicals, milks, and glitters. Staffers allow customers to sample every product in-store and provide wells of already-concocted recipes to help spark ideas. Should customers mix a masterpiece, the staff record recipes and keep them on file to recreate at the customer’s bidding.

Pop-out jewelry involves shapes that remain attached to the metal from which they are cut. Wearers simply pop out the shapes and hang them on the enclosed chains or ear hooks to turn them into eye-catching, intricate pendants and earrings (a set of Vines earrings is $36). Melissa Borrell—a self-taught jewelry designer and MFA from Rhode Island School of Design—offers a wide range of pop-out jewelry designs that blur the line between art and design and play with perceptions of space, color, and form, so have fun browsing her wild wares.

Like a slow-moving puddingslide, Marnie Rocks' vast selection covers your entire lifestyle, from clothing to utensils.

Or grab a tough but eco-compatible black blossom tote ($12) to complement lip-plumping, antioxidant lightning lipgloss ($22) and tear up the town as if the town were made of highly sensitive tax documents from the Reagan era.
