I was enjoying a nice stroll on a sunny day in Kent last week and popped into the wonderfully unique boutique, Empire. This place is great, they offer a variety of things from jewelry, henna products, clothing and accessories, and even couture chocolates! These chocolates were unbelievable to gaze at, the designs were so detailed and intricate that I couldn’t imagine eating them. The flavors were also out of this world! They ranged from Irish Cream to “I Love Peanut Butter”, blueberry truffle and so many more!
Walking in and browsing the store, I noticed that Empire’s products all seem to circulate around spirituality, comfort, and finding your zen or place of peace. A lot of the jewelry came with small pieces of paper explaining the importance of the piece or the meaning of the icon, so that you could choose what you wanted by what it represented.
For those of you with gauged ears, Empire holds a beautiful selection of bone and horn jewelry. Organic henna hair dye was also available, for safer hair treatment. I also loved that Empire sold local artists’ work, I appreciate anybody who is willing to support their community and those living in it! If you live in Kent, I suggest taking the time to check out Empire and pick up some chocolates or one of a kind gifts, or even make your way to the back of the store and get a psychic reading! To see what Empire is all about if you aren’t local, check out their website here!
