Weekly Crystal Check-In: Tourmalinated Quartz Tumbled Tourmalinated Quartz Now that my week with Tourmalinated Quartz has come to a close, it’s time to reflect. This stone felt very different from some of the others I’ve worked with so far. Its energy wasn’t loud or dramatic. Instead, it felt steady and observant—almost like a quiet reminder to stay aware of what I was allowing into my space. Throughout the week, I kept the crystal close, especially during moments when I kne

We are moving into another week of this crystal journey together. Before stepping into Tourmalinated Quartz, I want to pause and reflect on my week with Hematite.

Before moving into this week’s crystal, I want to take a moment to reflect on my time with Amethyst . Tumbled Amethyst Weekly Crystal Check-In: Amethyst What did I notice while working with Amethyst? I noticed that I didn’t allow things to bother me as much. Situations that normally would have lingered in my mind felt easier to release. Did anything shift emotionally or mentally? Yes. I felt shifts. I felt more lighthearted. Those changes may seem small, but they mattered. I

A little sneak peak of what I have been working on. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve written anything here. Life has been chaotic, to say the least. 2025 was one hell of a rollercoaster, and somehow 2026 came in with a full-force slap to the fucking face. I haven’t been feeling great since New Year’s Eve. Physically, emotionally just off. I am  starting to feel like I’m slowly coming back to myself, but it hasn’t been linear. It never really is, is it? I had such high hopes

Lately, my little worktable has been sparkling. ✨I've been working hard to bring more handmade magic to the shop — and I’m so excited to share that a whole new collection of earrings  is now available! These pieces feel like winter sunlight and cozy forest walks all at once — metallic tones, botanical details, soft shimmer, and a touch of festive cheer. Each pair is handmade with polymer clay, sealed in glossy epoxy for shine, and finished with comfortable rubber backstops. W

It’s funny how often I speak about self-care, intention, and balance—yet I’m the one who forgets to pause. I can help someone find their light, but when it comes to tending my own flame, I let it flicker low. I’ve realized that I’m great at preaching gentle growth, but not so great at practicing it. Maybe this is my reminder from the universe to turn some of that nurturing inward—to give myself the same compassion I so freely give to everyone else. I know deep down that helpi

Becoming the Light-Bearer: Living the Work Shadow work isn’t a project you complete. It’s a relationship. A sacred tending. A slow, lifelong unfolding. By now, you’ve walked through layers of yourself you once avoided. You’ve met your projections, tended your inner child, reclaimed lost parts, rewritten old stories, and practiced staying with what’s uncomfortable. You’ve lit candles in the dark—and sat long enough to see by their flicker. This is the work of becoming whole. B
