RELAX // EARTH OIL

I wanted to share with you this massage oil I received from Earth Oils recently.  It is the yummiest massage oil I have ever used.  Massages are pretty much my favorite thing in the whole world.  I will never, ever pass up a massage.  When James asks me if I want a massage, he already knows the answer.  Which by the way, he gives some pretty amazing massages.  For a while I was using a lemon scented massage oil from Burt's Bees, but it was almost an overpowering smell.  So this oil I got was the perfect replacement for it, b/c it still has a citrus smell to it, but is much more subtle.  A very light feminine relaxing smell.  I also love that its not super greasy either.  Ive actually been using it as a lotion after I shave to keep my legs from being so dry.   

One of my favorite things about it is that Ally has infused it with crystal healing elements of moonstone and amazonite, two stones I am particularly drawn to.  She also infuses them under the full moon, and gives them reiki energy.  This is what she has written about the healing properties of these two stones: 

MOONSTONE || It is strongly connected to the moon and emotions. It is one of the best stones for calming the emotions. It has receptive, passive and feminine energy to calm emotional triggers and reactions to situations. It soothes instability, stress and acts as a stabilizer of the emotions. It draws out old emotional patterns and provides deep healing. It is especially useful for relaxing and can even promote lucid dreaming as well as restful sleep.

AMAZONITE || is an extremely calming stone and soothing stone. It calms the brain and nervous system and aligns the physical body with the etheric. Soothes emotional trauma, alleviating worry and fear. Excellent for relieving anxiety and an over thinking mind. Perfect stone to use for unwinding and relaxing.

Eventually I would love to try every one of her oils, and her new and full moon bath teas.  I am a bath girl.  Like, a serious bath girl.  So these are perfect!   

Ally is also the designer behind Aquarian Soul.  This girl has won my heart with her jewelry and her healing herbals.  A beautiful combination.

This is by far my alltime favorite Poor Pitiful Pearl dress.  It is so insanely 'me'.  And ridiculously comfortable.  ​This was my first day of therapy outfit, haha.  Im so deeply in love with these earrings from Aurora Shadow, along with everything else in her shop.  She has such a vision and it really comes through browsing through her work.  I love coming across artisans that have such a cohesive style and look.

Yesterday I celebrated the upcoming birth of my besties third child, a little boy named Navarro, at her baby shower.  It was a huge success with lots of people and lots of gifts for the baby to come!  It was really nice just to see my friend b/c it had been way too long.  And her twin came home from California just for the shower, so it was double wonderful!  I made her a wall hanging for his room and hand dyed and drew a baby onesie.  ​

Then last night we headed out to Tarpley to hang out with our friends and watch our other friends play some good tunes.  It was a very nice laid back evening, just what I needed.  Oh, and James made some mean sesame chicken before we left on a whim, it was freakin amazing!  Yesterday was a good day.​

FEBRUARY SACRED SPACE

This was my sacred space for the month of February.  There is something I like about sharing these right after I tear them down.  A bit of a reflection period for what transpired the month before compared to what I am now manifesting in my new space.  This past month has almost felt too intense to dive into publicly.  But attending my first counseling session on wednesday was a huge step for me.  Im looking forward to the process of it.  I have no idea what will come of it, but I expect it to be good and healing in many ways.  ​

The past two days have brought in alot of magic and newness, acceptance and release, and overall a feeling of optimism for the future.  Not that my present is bad by any means, but there is so much yet to be uncovered in these bones of mine, and I feel like I am finally able to start the process of peeling the layers back in a very honest way.  ​
