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. -
SOMETIMES ITS YOU.
I focus really heavily on the energetic health and hygiene of my studio space and home. Yes, it is super important to keep your environment clutter free, prayed up, protected, smoke cleansed, and sparkling with loving intentions. BUT. Yes, there is a but. Sometimes its not an entity or psychic attack or residual energy from someone who has come into you place. Sometimes its you. Whew. -
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. -
FALL NEWNESS.
Although it still feels like summer in Indianapolis I am willing some major fall vibes with a batch of new and restocked products! It smells like an absolute autumn dream in the studio. Between burning ropes of the new nag champa incense and whipping up apple and pumpkin scented goodness its quite cozy up in here. -
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!

ENERGETIC HYGIENE
Peace can't just spring up from a mess. Magic made on top of residual negativity? I don't get down like that. My granny used to say, "You can't go putting perfume on to cover up an unwashed body." (Cause ewe.) Same concept! Clean your aura, clean your floor, clean your walls, clean your tools. Let's talk about how... -
I'M NEW HERE.
I thank y’all who have been rocking with me since I first set out to become an herbalist and began offering my goods for sale. There are some new things here as well as some old favs! I’m going to be blogging here frequently so not everything gets crammed into an Instagram post. I want to share more about how to utilize herbal allies to improve your mind, body, and spirit. I’m feeling good about having a place to do that.
