Where to find organic/natural products? by Nikolite
Are there any stores that sell things like aloe vera juice, essential oils, organic body products, coconut oil, etc? I've been to Food Lovers Market and didn't find much (although the food looked excellent). Are there any places near Flic en Flac?
There is one called Axios. If not mistaken there is one in Floreal and also in Grand Baie. The number in Grand Baie is 263 5072, maybe they can tell you if there is a store near you. They have an array of dried and fresh product, beauty products and ... Read More
TENNIS/Gyms by CourtinUSVI
