Sip & Stone Selection of the Day

Vanilla Cookie Cap
Soft, comforting, and quietly indulgent. This sip feels like easing into something familiar without rushing it. Smooth and gentle, it carries a sense of warmth and steadiness that invites you to slow down and savor the moment rather than power through it.

Sphalerite Crescent Moon
Sphalerite is a grounding stone that supports balance, clarity, and energetic regulation. Known for helping disperse mental overwhelm, it anchors scattered energy and brings focus back into the body. Shaped as a crescent moon, it also speaks to cycles, rest, and honoring where you are rather than forcing what comes next.

Together, today’s sip and stone offer grounding comfort and quiet clarity. A reminder that steadiness can be just as powerful as momentum.

Today’s Intention:
I allow myself to slow down and find strength in steadiness.

Sip & Shop Selection of the Day

The Ninth Gate Lotus
This sip carries the energy of transition and remembrance. Cool, vivid, and quietly expansive, The Ninth Gate Lotus is inspired by the number nine. A sacred number across traditions. The number of completion, resonance, and universal return. This drink is less about stimulation and more about alignment. A pause at the threshold. A breath before the next becoming.

Angelite & Clear Quartz Mala
Paired with today’s sip is a hand-knotted mala created with intention, prayer, and Reiki. Made with 108 beads as tradition holds, this mala features angelite for calm communication and spiritual guidance, clear quartz for amplification and clarity, and a black obsidian guru bead for grounding and protection. Finished with a navy tassel, it is both devotional and deeply personal.

These malas were created in a brief, sacred window. Each one was made by hand, knotted with focus, and infused with energy. Only a limited number were ever made, and just two remain. They are not mass-produced objects. They are tools meant to be worked with.

There are moments when timing affirms the work. When the path opens without force. This piece carries one of those moments within it.

Together, today’s sip and offering speak to trust in divine timing, reverence for craft, and honoring the call when it arrives.

Today’s Intention
I honor the timing of my path and trust the gates that open for me.

Sip & Shop Selection of the Day

Fireside PB Cup Mocha
This drink is rich, grounding, and deeply comforting. It carries the feeling of being settled and supported, like sitting near a warm fire after a long day. Cozy, familiar, and steady, it is designed to anchor you back into your body and your space.

Evil Eye Keychains and Bracelets
Today’s featured shop item is our Evil Eye keychains and bracelets. Traditionally used as a symbol of protection, the Evil Eye is believed to ward off negative energy, ill intent, and energetic imbalance. These pieces are meant to be worn or carried daily as a quiet form of energetic shielding.

Whether attached to your keys, worn on your wrist, or kept close to your personal space, these pieces serve as a reminder to stay protected, grounded, and energetically clear as you move through the world.

Together, today’s pairing focuses on comfort and protection. A grounding sip paired with pieces designed to guard your energy and support your boundaries.

Today’s Intention:
I am protected, grounded, and supported in all spaces I move through.

Want to support Erstwhile? Here’s an easy way to help.

I created this flyer and am asking for help getting it out into the community. You can print one at home or stop by the shop to grab a few. We’d love to see them posted in local businesses, community spaces, apartment complexes, and around town.

Every flyer helps someone new discover us. If you’re able to help spread the word, we’d be incredibly grateful.

Sip & Shop Selection of the Day

Winter Bright Fizzer
This sip is crisp, uplifting, and refreshing. It brings a sense of clarity and lightness, like fresh air on a cold morning. Energizing without being overwhelming, it is designed to wake up the senses and gently reset the mood.

Crystal Healing Art by Meg Essence
Today’s featured piece is one of the Crystal Healing Art creations by local artist and intuitive, Meg Essence. Each piece is intentionally toned during the full moon and infused with healing energy meant specifically for the future owner of the art. These intentions are set with care, allowing the piece to continue working with you long after it finds its home.

Framed in a shadow box, the crystals remain exposed to moonlight so they can be continually charged and activated. This is not simply decorative art. It is living art meant to be engaged with, meditated on, and worked with energetically as part of your daily space.

Together, today’s sip and shop offering highlights clarity, intention, and connection. Something refreshing for the body paired with art that actively supports energetic alignment and personal work.

Today’s Intention:
I welcome clarity, renewal, and intentional energy into my space and my day.
