Mindful Souls Box

Image
  A couple weeks ago Mindful Souls offered a deal to try their box, $25 including shipping. It is normally $38, so I thought I would give it a try and see how it compares to Tamed Wild.  The first thing on top of the box was this obsidian necklace which was a free gift for trying the box. Funny thing, the only thing I ever bought from MS was this necklace. I love obsidian and I have had many compliments when wearing it. I didn't at all mind getting another one, this one I will hang from my rear view mirror in my car.  After pulling up the papers I could see some items included with the box and the first thing I saw was this horrid thing!  I believe it is the tackiest dream catcher I have ever seen! The beads are plastic and it reminded me of something I might find in a bargain bin in some tourist shop along route 66 for $1. I remember thinking that I hope the rest of the items aren't this bad! It actually looks better in that photo than it does in person.  Next was Rosemary fra

  It was worth the wait!  Above are the small spells cards along with a bag for them! So cute! Just quick little spells that don't require much effort. I also really like the artwork on the cards, each one is different. Probably my favorite item from this box!  The above photo shows the workbook, which I will talk more about later in this post. Botanical hair rinse (calendula, rose and jasmine), the herb jar is comfrey (great for making ointments) and the little envelope contains beads for a pagan mala. I am not sure what the beads are made from, not plastic, seems like stone or glass. Too tiny for me and my old eyes, but I will make a mala with some larger beads I have and use the tassel. The jasmine and neroli soy candle and the jasmine body oil smell divine! Also, included an empty bottle for making your own potions!  Moonstone pillar and a sunstone! The pillar is a good size, about 4.5 inches and I had been wanting a moonstone pillar for months! I love sunstone too!  The new se

Lemurian Crystal Weirdness

Image
  About a week ago I finally got around to putting a bail on my favorite Lemurian crystal so that I can wear it as a necklace and it can go everywhere with me! I did this using UV resin which I have used numerous times to add bails to crystals and other stones and it has always worked great! After letting it cure for a few days I tugged on it, tried to wiggle it and it was on there tight. I have a little makeup bag that I keep next to me in the living room and I keep some of my crystals in there along with other little things I often need like nail files and lip balm. A couple days later I take it out to wear it and the bail is not on there, it is laying in the bottom of the bag. Even weirder is that resin hardens and turns into a hard plastic, but there was no resin on the stone or on the bail. It was like it just dissolved! I can only assume that this crystal did not want to be a pendant and I will respect its wishes and instead if I want it with me it will be in a bag, my pocket or
