It's the Little Things

In the hustle and bustle of today's world, it's often easy to forget to take time and just enjoy life. However, the crazier life gets, the more we need to make time to breathe and regroup our faculties. It's always refreshing to sit and smell the roses or do something that you enjoy.

This week, Sticks Stones and Bonez and The Hidden Gem Bistro celebrated International STEM Day by offering a discount for those who made lego builds from the trays provided. It didn't have to be extravagant or perfect. It just had to be something you put together. And what a blast people had building legos! It was a chance for everyone to remember how much fun it can be to just use your imagination and be creative.

Another thing that's been added recently at the Bistro are the Little Bites (amuse bouche) that is now being served. It changes every day, but gives everyone a chance to share something as they wait. This sharing of food turns into sharing laughs and creating fond memories.

So remember, take some time today to enjoy the little things that make life sweet. ❤

What is that smell?

Ever wonder how you can tell the difference between smells? Why does a lemon have a citrus smell while freshly cut grass smells different? The answer is olfactory receptors. In a short version, different smells stick to your scent glands, or olfactory receptors, causing them to change shape. This change sends a signal to the brain, like a text message, telling your brain what it is your nose is picking up.

Here at Sticks Stones and Bonez, we have all sorts of fun smells to stretch those olfactory receptors. Some are things that your brain will recognize immediately. Others you may not have ever encountered. It's a workout for your scent glands to find all of the exciting scents at our scent-sational sensory station!
