CANDLE CARE TIPS.
The new batch of wooden wick candles are reaching their homes so I think this is the perfect time to go over candle care again! I used to scoff at these simple tips but truly a little maintenance goes a long way toward enjoying your new candle. -
SHOP SHIPPING INFO.
The last shop update was a great success and I sincerely thank each and every one of you for your support! I wanted to formally thank y'all here and also give a little insight into how shipping and handling works on the LSB side. -
NEW WORLD UPDATE.
It is hard not to feel like our whole world has been flipped upside down. Nothing is certain and everything... hurts. I just wanted to clue y'all in on how LSB is running these days. One word sums it up: SLOW. -
MARCH NEW MOON SOUND BATH.
Hey friends! Due to social distancing the New Moon Meditation + Sound Bath had to be postponed. I decided to record a sound bath so we could heal together... apart. Many blessings in this new season, on this new moon, as we all begin again. -
RESTORATIVE REST + RESONANT SOUND
If you're in Indy and are unfamiliar with sound healing I'd love for you to come lay your burdens down! It is a gentle, passive medicine. You don't have to *do* anything to feel the benefits. Just rsvp, bring blankets + a pillow, wear your comfiest clothes, and leave it all behind. Consider it a reclaiming of your time. Just rest. Just allow yourself to be refilled and replenished. Your problems, OUR problems as a collective, can wait outside. -
TRANSITION.
I used to make things in my little kitchen... then I moved into the lovely studio where Lesley Saligoe Botanicals now resides. Well, until today. I was informed earlier that the building has been sold and myself as well as the other artists who work (and live) here have to go. Gentrification finally got us. -
MERCURY RETROGRADE MUSINGS MARCH 2019
I'm by no means an astrology expert but even the most uninitiated among us are familiar with Mercury Retrograde. We collectively brace ourselves for the seemingly inevitable snafus surrounding travel, communication, contracts, and negotiations. -
CUT THE BULLSH*T.
This is LSB's third holiday season. Recently I was game planning how to boost sales and market my products. Overall, overwhelming. I decided to cut the bullsh*t and leave the games behind. No gimmicks. No flash sales. To maintain my personal integrity and see my products in the hands of those who need them most I am maintaining my lowest possible prices for the entire month of December. -
WHY I'M PHASING OUT WHITE SAGE...
Most of us probably became familiar with the use of a white sage "smudge" wand as our first foray into clearing bad energy in a space. I know that was my first energetic hygiene tool way back when. (I think I grabbed in the same time frame I was purchasing spell books from Barnes & Noble.) It is so popular that the word sage his somehow become synonymous with smoke clearing as if there are no other items available. While I am grateful for the introduction, I know fifteen years later, that it is not a fix all item. (And those bookstore spells - just, nope.) When we gather new information we should act on it. Know better, do better. -
WE ALL NEED MONEY, HONEY.
Today is all about abundance, prosperity, and MONEY. We all need it! A lot like the other altar post, please take my practices as loose suggestions - all work you do is personal. Folk magic is flexible due to the fact our ancestors had to use what they had on hand. Your intentions as well as your actions to improve your situation are most important! -
FLORIDA WATER REIMAGINED.
While I have utilized store bought Florida Water I realize the ingredients are synthetic. I love it for nostalgia’s sake but wanted more than colored alcohol and fragrance for my work. I set out to make my own with fresh and organic dried herbs, resins, holy wood, and healing crystals. -
SELF LOVE
I've always struggled with the concept of self love. I've decided to settle for "self like" for now. Self acceptance. Just treating the self I got better cause heaven knows I don't always give myself the care I'd extend to another. I wanted to share a really quick glimpse at some simple ways to pull together a self love altar in your space. Remember that altars don't have to look a particular way. Your practice doesn't have to look like anyone's but your own!
