Plus, they weremillennial pink.
I first noticed the blush-pink stone sparkling in some of my favorite yoga studios.
Turns out rose quartz is a gateway stone, and I got hooked.
My desk, adorned.
Honestly, I don’t know.
“Crystal healing is the use of a crystal’s vibration to affect the human energy field.
So I bought myself a piece of amethyst.
Amethyst + headache = freelancer’s health insurance
and way too much more I shouldnt tell you about.
Like the gorgeous glass pyramid I spent 30 bucks on just to display my less-than-$30-each crystals in.
When I fall in love with a hobby ortake on a challenge, I go all out.
My current accessory and elixir status.
Im not much for balance, which is probably why healing crystals are particularly perfect for someone like me.

you might thank me later.
But they make me feel better.
And when I’m feeling a bit unbalanced, I’ll squeeze my smooth set of red jasper stones.
I love carrying them.
And I love making baths with them.
Ill make even prettier baths once my bulk order of rose quartz and moonstone arrives this week.
Is there any way these stones, baths, elixirs and the like are actually healing me?
No, but I’m making them do things.
The power of my own mind, you know?
You gotta believe.
