Two new retail experiences have opened at Legacy Village in Lyndhurst.
Revival Body Care, a natural beauty and wellness brand owned by Nicole Dzurko, opened its second Ohio location at Legacy Village last month; and local artist Marlisa Dunn has opened a studio/gallery and is serving as Legacy Village’s summer Artist in Residence, according to a news release.
Revival Body Care is a locally owned natural beauty and wellness destination, with a focus on education and sustainability. Since its launch in 2015, Dzurko moved from her home kitchen to the Revival Flagship store and headquarters in Lakewood, the release said. Revival has expanded its offerings to include a comprehensive collection of all-natural skin, lip and hair care products created using only the finest quality organic, fair trade, 100% vegan ingredients.
Dzurko will bring her Revival Recycles program to Legacy Village, where customers can return empty Revival containers to be reused and/or recycled. Revival will also host a variety of events, including Revival Retreats, Wellness Wednesdays and Happy Healthy Hours, the release said.
“I started this company with a vision to not only provide gentle, yet effective, products created using only the finest quality certified organic, fair-trade, 100% vegan ingredients, but to use my platform as a brand owner to provide motivation, education, and empowerment in regard to self-care and wellness,” said Dzurko in the release. “We have been exploring expanding to be in closer proximity to the eastside to reach both our existing and new customers. We love the vibrancy of Legacy Village, and this opportunity came at the perfect time. We couldn’t be more excited to be a part of the Legacy Village community.”
Artist Marlisa Dunn of Cleveland Heights is Legacy Village’s summer Artist in Residence, with a studio/gallery open near Starbucks. Dunn will create paintings on-site during select Legacy Live concerts throughout the summer. She will also hold open studio hours from 1-4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays where visitors can watch her work.
A former gym owner, Dunn picked up painting as a hobby two years ago. “It was something I fell in love with and wished I had started sooner. It was like learning a new language and changed how I see things in the world,” said Dunn in the release.
“When the pandemic hit, I was left scrambling as gyms were forced to close. There was tremendous uncertainty in the world and with the future of my gym. I channeled that devastating emotion into painting. I painted every single day in 2020 and found new ways to express myself and knew this was the path I needed to follow.”
Dunn primarily paints small and larger-than-life portraits and florals, using oil paint and watercolors.
