Sometimes the best way to recharge is to carve out a little time for something indulgent, intentional, or just plain lovely. These are my top three spots in Powell River when I want to slow down, splurge a little, or enjoy something made with care. Whether you’re shopping, sipping, or getting your glow back, these local businesses are all about helping you Treat Your Self—your way.
Little Hive
Whenever I want to add something fresh to my wardrobe—or just indulge in a little sensory joy—I stop in at Little Hive. The shop smells incredible (thanks to the handmade soaps and candles), and every corner is filled with beautifully curated finds: vintage clothing, locally made jewelry, and even eco-friendly cleaning products that somehow make chores feel… almost fun?
This place is full of charm and character. It’s the kind of shop you wander into for “just a quick look” and leave with three things you didn’t know you needed—but now love.

Owl & Bear
Tucked away in the Townsite Market, Owl & Bear is a treasure chest of bulk herbs, practical curiosities, and one-of-a-kind gifts. I usually go in to refill my stash of tea-making ingredients, and I always end up spotting something new, clever, or unexpectedly perfect for someone I love (also: me).
They’re also the home base of Pirate Pops, the locally made frozen treats that everyone seems to crave once the sun comes out. Owl & Bear is the kind of place where you never know what you’ll find—and that’s exactly why I keep going back.

Kajal Kromm’s Wellness Spa
From brow shaping to facials to luxurious massage, Kajal Kromm’s Wellness Spa, also located in the Townsite Market, is where I go to feel totally cared for. Kajal has a warm, welcoming energy and a real gift for making people feel beautiful and grounded.
And because she doesn’t stop at pampering, she and her husband also run Taste of Heaven G&K, the sweet little tea and sandwich shop right upstairs from the spa. It’s the perfect finishing touch to a little me-day. (I’m still thinking about the soup I had there. Chef’s kiss.)
