1. Scottsdale's new Soap Bubble Boutique is preparing for a busy holiday season. The shop opened in June in the former location of Vitality Oxygen Bar. Soap Bubble Boutique is known for offering 95-100 percent organic soaps and bath bombs. The shop has struggled, since opening, to provide a fully-stocked selection for customers due to supply shortages and shipping issues. (Scottsdale.org)
