Orangiiiiies!! Did you know??

Navel oranges are named that because of the belly-button formation opposite the stem end. The bigger the navel in an orange, the sweeter it will be.

When is an orange green? When it’s a Valencia! Sometimes warm weather causes the skin to regreen, or reabsorb chlorophyll, giving it a greenish color. Still tastes great!

Oranges are high in antioxidants, which neutralize the effects of free radicals, unstable oxygen molecules in your body, believed to cause aging and some diseases.

After chocolate and vanilla, orange is the world’s favorite flavor. 🍊

I’m so excited for this next project I am designing and wanted to share. I am going to be creating necklaces for helping depression.

It started when I had an experience at a crystal shop a few years back. I used to be so skeptical of crystals and looking around I found myself drawn to a prism of clear quartz. I picked it up and found myself spinning and nauseous. Long story short I had a lot of energy built up in my body and the shop owner gave me selenite to help “ground” me. Ever since then I have been studying up on how to use crystals for healing and aiding symptoms and chakras. On another note, I currently have depression along with most people, and it is raw and real. Every little bit helps!

These necklaces will be made to help with healing, protecting, comforting and soothing depression along with anxiety. Each crystal bead is geared towards healing individual depression symptoms. Worn near the heart, it will be able to work its magic for your whole inner and outer self. 🌱 Stay tuned!

Juniper berries are probably my most favorite scent of all. I remember playing my little pony with friends when I was little, outside right next to a juniper bush. The scent instantly triggers those memories of fun childhood play. The neighborhood was sprinkled with these gems.
Juniper berries are commonly known as being a spice or being the flavoring for gin, but they have many other uses as well! Foraging for juniper berries is easy as juniper trees are fairly common in mud and northern parts of the U.S.

Juniper trees and berries are great for fall or winter foraging. Junipers have needle or scale like leaves, depending on the species. Some have needles when young that turn to scales as they mature.

The “berries” of juniper trees are actually fleshy cones, not true berries at all, that are usually covered with a white powdery bloom. That bloom is actually wild yeast, and you can use the berries for wild yeast starter for homebrewing!

Some of the benefits include vitamin C, flavonoid antioxidants, monoterpenes, and coumarins, all of which may offer various health benefits. Juniper berries contain essential oils and flavonoids that offer antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. One one my store uses, juniper berry extract provides strong antibacterial and antifungal effects so it is commonly used. It may have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and reduce blood sugar levels and heart disease risk factors as well.

Get to foraging this season! 🌱

Energy fuels everything around us. We use energy in many forms, cooling our homes, driving to work, digesting our food, even our emotions are energy in motion.
Though the energetic makeup of our universe as a concept is elusive, we each have an instinctual ability to know when energy needs to be used, saved, changed or moved.

It has been said the Native American practice of smudging, or purifying a room with the smoke of sacred herbs, can help clear negative energy from a space. When burned, sage and other herbs release negative ions, which research says lead to elevated moods.

When smudging, make sure to get under the furniture and into all the nooks and crannies as stagnant energy loves to hang out under objects and in corners. You can even use sage on yourself if you are needing to change your attitude or shift some negative emotions. Most importantly, alway set good intentions and stay positively attuned.

It’s time to practice changing energies in our life. Let us open the doors of our soul, free old emotions, re-arrange our perspective, be intentional and smile the whole time we transform our world together.

🧘‍♀️ Create your place of Zen 🧘‍♂️

Find your most peaceful spot in the home.
Fill it with objects, crystals, plants, things that help inspire tranquility. Find YOUR place. Spend 10 minutes with your eyes closed, some sort of white noise (bathroom fan/noise machine) and tune out the real world. Just focus on the breathing and sounds of the white noice. It’s not even so much as a focus as letting your mind unwind and empty. Relax the space between your brow, feel the roots growing from the base of your spine. If you get distracted, just calmly bring yourself back to center. Beginners take 5-10 min increments at a time the progress when you feel you are ready. Be kind to yourself. If your really trying to open your third eye feel free to try my mediation rollerball third eye oil. 🕉
