End of Summer
Yes it’s hot &
Don’t be mad, but fall will be here soon!
We are still in the full of summer for at least a month so hit the beach one more time and get ready for the gentle transition that we get to experience here in the Midwest. A few leaves start to turn and then suddenly, everything is bright oranges and yellow!
We are constantly restocking but this week we’ll be creating a few more Whipped Sugar Scrubs & soaps are on the curing rack currently. New lip balms are also ready for this weekend. One thing we wanted to share was some name changes to the soaps. We have held onto some crystal-themed names for a while but decided to revert back to simple the essential oils that are in the bar! For example. not everyone is familiar with Sodalite but they may love our bar with Frankincense. If you’re looking for a bar by crystal name, we’ll still have it!
Restock on zodiac candles, some new TAROT candles and fun herbal intention candles as well.
The Tarot candles are represented with 12 of the Major Arcanas. They each also come with a sweet pendant to work with if you’re using them as an intention candle.
We got in some fun journals and a couple went to their homes over the weekend! We had no idea people would love them so much so we’ll be on the hunt for wondrous pages for you to put your thoughts into.
I’ll also be working on more jewelry throughout the week and just got 200 feet of wire so i’ll be wrapping like a madwoman! Tiger’s eye, jaspers, clear quartz and fluorite wraps coming soon.
We have some new soaps curing, one inspired by one of our favorite movies, Practical Magic and it’s beautiful :)
More pre-packages herbs by the oz hit the shelves too and more are on the way! Due to a lot of fires and droughts in the western part of the country, we’re struggling to get some stuff and prices will be ebbing and flowing like the ocean for a while.

General Bad Skin Water
For days when your skin is feeling blah or you’re battling a break out.
Weigh out 1/2 oz Lavender buds, 1/2 oz Lemongrass, 1/2 oz Thyme
Add to 16 oz water and bring to boil then simmer for five minutes.
Strain through cheese cloth, allow to cool and place into clean bottle. Optional: add 1 oz benzoin tincture
Keep refrigerated and shake well before use. Apply after cleanser as toner or whenever throughout the day!
This also gives us more creative freedom to make fun soaps that aren’t necessarily like a stone or mineral! Yay! We are restocking our clays too because they are the perfect staple for your skincare regime.
We also rearranged the shop a bit and got rid of a bulky glass case and filled that in with our tumble table.
Freedom to roam and lap the tumbles as your please makes easier shopping for everyone!
We did get a sweeeeet terrarium to house some of our fun specimens and delicate carvings!
Skin & Digestive Tea:
2 oz Burdock Root
1 oz Ginseng
1 oz Chamomille
Combine together and add 1tsp to tea strainer and steep for 3-5 minutes
We recommend these herbs because of their good tummy properties and blood cleansing abilities! Good skin comes from the inside out.
Drink once a day before bed at least 4x a week for best results.
