We recently got a treasure trove of incredible crystals in the shop which have been selling like crazy! My love for crystals intensifies every year it seems! I love creating vignetts of mystical, magical crystal corners in my home. I also incorporate crystals and precious stones into my own handmade headpiece work. I love the intimate ritual of charging crystals in a rainstorm to cleanse and intensify their powers. My best friend carries a few of her favourite crystals with her which act as her talismans for guidance, balance, alignment, and are often incorporated into her Tarot card readings. I am fascinated with crystals, but still very much a crystal novice! How do you incorporate crystals into your life? Whatever your experience is with crystals, they are so fun and inspiring and easy to use, so I thought it would be helpful to consolidate some helpful crystal info into one place!

Even though your outfit isn’t by any means the most important aspect of school, this is just one way I like to keep myself feeling good and motivated; especially for those days when it’s the last place you want to be. Feeling confident about what you’re wearing can really brighten up your whole day, and it’s an added bonus when you’re comfortable on top of that! With that being said, remember to express yourself based on who you are, and what you like, regardless of what you think others might say.
