🌼Calendula🌼

A staple in my apothecary, calendula never ceases to amaze me. I love using it most for skincare, primarily as a redness and inflammation reducer for psoriasis and the lovely hormonal pimple/eczema combo that loves to show up at the most inopportune times! In fact, calendula is such an effective skin soother that I’ve been able to almost fully replace prescription creams with my own oil blends (starring calendula as the key ingredient, of course!). Swipe left to read about some additional uses and benefits✨

Speaking of oil blends, this blend and a few others will be available on on my Etsy and website beginning March 1st - link in bio!

🌿PEPPERMINT LOVE🌿

Peppermint is the 3rd in my top three favorite herbs! It may very well be my favorite due to it’s MANY different uses. I use peppermint for everything. Literally, I use it to clean with, I use it as aromatherapy, I use it for nausea and headache relief, and I use it in my spells and energy cleansing!

If you’re feeling an upset stomach or headache coming on, try diluting a few drops of peppermint with distilled water and rubbing it on your temples, or drinking peppermint tea. It may just do the trick!

TAROT🔮TUESDAY

The Ace of Pentacles and New Moon in Capricorn (general message for the collective) - What a great pairing! Pentacles are connected to the physical world and material things (money, career, etc) and Capricorn is the sign of ambition and practicality. Paired with the manifesting energy of a new moon, these two cards suggest that a new cycle is beginning and a green light to follow through with those ambitious ideas and plans you’ve been brewing! This might come in the form of a new business, a creative project you’ve been wanting to start, or even an opportunity to move into a new home. That being said, the key phrase is “hard work,” and it’s going to take a thought-out plan and commitment to get there, but with the effort you put into all of that hard work and discipline, you will most certainly be on track to achieve whatever it is you’re setting your mind on achieving!

Have you ever thought about your energy levels and where you’re placing them?⚡️

When I say energy, I don’t strictly mean physical “I could dance all night” energy and as someone living with chronic fatigue syndrome, I know that the term ‘energy’ is relative! What I mean is the kind of mental, physical, and/or emotional energy that builds over time where you just feel off, you can’t quite place your finger on it and feels like there’s a metaphorical weight on your shoulders that you can’t shake off.

Everyone is different in terms of energy supply levels and what truly drains us, but the above are just a few common examples that are universally known to affect all types of energy. Figuring out what your personal triggers are is the first step towards regaining that precious energy back!

Drained energy can sometimes show up as a lack of motivation or productivity, or even consistent creative blocks. Something as mindless as scrolling social media or watching the news can absolutely suck the energy right out of you, as can certain people in your life (whether you initially realize it or not)! Once you figure out what drains your energy the most, think about the things that boost it. These are things that make you smile and perk up whenever you think about or act upon them (or course, that stands within reason and I mean healthy, legal actions😅). Some things that can instantly boost your mood include watching your favorite tv show, putting on your favorite album or playlist, taking a stroll or simply just standing in the sunlight for a few minutes.

However, the number one thing you can do to boost your mental, physical, AND emotional energy is to reevaluate your DIET. Are you eating a lot of refined carbs and processed foods throughout the day? Are you eating any leafy greens and other vegetables? Are you getting takeout more often than not? These are things that can make a SIGNIFICANT impact on your overall energy supply. I will go more into detail on why and how next week 🥬

Have a great weekend, friends! ✨🖤✨

Happy Friday, friends!

I haven’t properly re-introduced myself since starting this new page so I thought I would kick off the weekend with a nice, big hello!

🌒 I’m Elissa and I live in sunny southern California.

🌓 Cancer 🌞 Leo🌛Taurus ⬆️

🌔 I’m a MASSIVE horror buff! Later down the line, I plan to open a separate shop dedicated to fellow lovers of the genre like myself 🎃

🌕 I’m a certified holistic nutritionist, health coach, and on my way to be a certified herbalist. I’m also an actor and have been acting professionally for about 17 years now 🎭

🌖 I’ve been an intuitive empath since childhood, having my first prophetic & lucid dreams around third grade (I recently found my old grade school dream journal which confirms this!).

🌗 My grandma was a healer from a small village in southern Italy and would make an herbal blend that would, no joke, completely heal critically ill children of their symptoms in a day. Since her recent passing, I’ve been learning and studying more on my Strega heritage (which I later found out I had!).

🌘 Full-time Spoonie, here! 😅 To date, I have (::deep inhale::) EBV, CFS/ME, psoriatic arthritis, fibromyalgia, POTS, SIBO, adrenal fatigue, degenerative disc disease, mycotoxin illness, interstitial cystitis, vitamin deficiencies, and more. While there are still those literally-can’t-get-out-of-bed days that are more difficult than words can express, I’ve found peace and hope since practicing functional and holistic wellness, as well as mystical arts. I’m so passionate about what I do and my ultimate goal is to not only empower sensitive creatives like myself who suffer from chronic illness, but to also spread awareness and acceptance that invisible illnesses are very much a real thing and they’re only going to become more prevalent as our modern western diets and ways of living keep going they way they are.

If you’ve made it this far, it’s nice to meet you! Do we have anything in common? Feel free to introduce yourself in the comments below, I’d love to know! 💜

Continuing on! Because I’m a bibliophile and I can’t stop learning 😁📚🌿🖤

🔮TAROT TUESDAY🔮

Luck is on your side!

While you can’t control the powers of the universe and the outcomes it brings, you can trust that your intuition will always steer you in the right direction. Life is constantly changing and turning in both fortunate and unfortunate ways (much like the wheel of fortune!), which can leave you feeling confused, exhausted, and indecisive over what to do next. Indecision can bring fear, which in turn can prevent you from progressing towards your overall goals.

The Wheel of Fortune is a major arcana card, which represent the overall big picture. When this card pops up, you can count on change and new opportunities coming your way and if you have any doubts or fears along the way, silence your mind and listen to what your gut instinct is telling you. Your intuitive inner voice knows you best and is more often than not, the right one 💫

I first learned about LIGHT MAGIC FOR DARK TIMES by at the (technically) perfect time, when I was living with my mom to help her with my nonna’s end-of-life care while also dealing with an all-time high of autoimmune and chronic illness symptoms. At the time however, I felt like I was just too overwhelmed to even press the order button. I felt extremely called to it again last week and finally pressed that order button, and it just arrived! I am SO excited to dive into this one. I have a feeling this is going to be a great resource 🤍✨

Friday mood 😁 Tag your bffs who vibe with this 🖤✨🖤

19/01/2022

This is the face of someone trying to be productive while going through waves of cluster headaches and simultaneous fibromyalgia and psoriatic arthritis flare ups.

To my fellow spoonies: No matter how defeating chronic illness can feel, at the end of the day we are BADASSES for everything we endure on a daily basis (while also having to function in an able-dominant society)! Never forget that 💜✨

🔮TAROT TUESDAY🔮

New, exciting adventures are afoot with The Fool card!

The Fool is the first card in the major arcana, which represents a new beginning in your overall life’s journey. Since The Fool starts at 0, not 1, think of it as a clean slate with infinite potential. There may be something you need to shed in order to complete an old cycle and start a new one, even if it requires you to take a blind leap of faith. Paired with the New Moon in Leo card, confidence is the key to bringing change and new beginnings! Now’s the time to give it your all, especially if you have a creative project idea you’re working on. Take that Leo energy and run with it! This is an exciting time to let your ideas shine and embrace your journey into the great unknown! 🦁✨

FULL WOLF MOON IN CANCER 🌕 ♋️ 🐺

Woof, and I truly mean, WOOF! As a highly sensitive Cancer myself, I can say that this one is a doozy!

The Full Wolf Moon (as known by some Native American tribes) is called so because the dead of winter is when the howling of the wolves was most likely to be heard.

Cancer is the sensitive, intuitive nurturer of the zodiac, having strong associations with family, home, and of course, water 🌊. The moon also just so happens to be Cancer’s ruler, so it’s safe to say that the energies of this particular moon are strong through and through. Matters of the heart will be of particular note as you can reflect on what really matters most to you right now. If you’ve been dealing with some unresolved issues or drama, now is the time you’ll feel that much needed push to cut ✂️ it 👉 out 👍 (side note - I automatically said it like this in my head and if you feel ancient like I do right now, you’ll understand that reference 😂)

This can be a very empowering time and a great opportunity to do the shadow work you may have always been reluctant to do. Some other great ways to utilize this energy would be to declutter, cleanse and reset stagnant energy in your home, do some journaling, or focus on self-care such as taking an herbal bath or cozying up with a blanket and a new book 🌝🖤
