This week I’ve decided to share a bit about me and why I love crystals. About me I'm Sharon, I'm 54, live in Swindon with my partner. We have no children and I'm working on getting a furbaby but we can't seem to agree. I say crate trained and neutered at [...]

Recently I wrote a blog  'I turn the corner down on books.' Some of you might think I'm a bit of a monster for doing it but I believe books are something that should be read, enjoyed and loved. Crystals should be treated in the same way so today I'm talking about how [...]

I’m later than usual writing my blog this week because I was struck down with a horrendous migraine. It reminded me how important self-care and self-love are so what better time to talk about crystals for love and compassion and remind you about my very first Crafts for Crystals workshop happening in time [...]

Yes I am that person (although I only do it on paperbacks). I even write, usually in pencil, in non fiction books too. Although I do the majority of reading on a Kindle nowadays, I am in a book club so buy a real book monthly. The thing is, books are meant to [...]

A few weeks ago, I was chatting to a friend about crystals for sleep. I mentioned popping one in pillowcase would be a good place to start and she mentioned she was like the Princess and the Pea. For those of you that haven't heard of it, the Princess and the Pea is [...]

With Christmas coming up in less than a month, it brings a lot of mixed emotions; anxiety and stress, managing the rush in the lead up to Christmas. For some people Christmas isn't necessarily a happy time. And then there's also the overindulgence maybe drinking to excess. I've suggested some crystals here and [...]

Yes, I'm going there. Whilst the majority of my clients are females, crystals are for men too either as gifts from a loved one or friend in their life or just to treat themselves. Crystals are for men too! How do crystals work for men? Generally, crystals work in the same [...]

We're coming up to that time of year where everybody will be talking about Black Friday and Cyber Monday. It's something I don't take part in so I thought I'd take some time out to explain to you why. Mindless Consumption Some deals encourage us to overconsume, buying things that perhaps [...]

Today I'm going to talk about combinations of crystals. When you put two crystals together you often get effects greater than the sum of the parts. Clear Quartz Combinations A great crystal to use in combinations is clear quartz. Known as the master crystal, it can be used for lots and lots [...]

81% That's how many of us are wearing the wrong size bra, according to a survey of over 42,000 women carried out in 2021 by a UK lingerie company. We often pop other things in our bras for safe-keeping and we really shouldn’t. If you've got room to put extras in your bra [...]

There’s lots of reasons for detoxing, and there’s lots of ways that we can detox. When people talk about a detox most of the time, they are talking about how they can detox their body. That is usually where you often see these sorts of very restricted diets over a few days. But there’s [...]

Are you always on the go and feel life needs simplifying. Have you thought about buying crystals in bundles? Imagine that feeling of just being able to grab a crystal and pop it in your pocket to give you that extra boost when you need it but still being able to get on [...]

I was honoured recently to be asked to chat about crystals for self care and self confidence in a Facebook group and it made me realise that it’s something I’ve never really talked about here. Which crystals do you need crystals for self care and confidence? Crystals for self-care and confidence [...]

When I talk about journaling, I am referring to it as therapy not bullet journals or beautifully coordinated masterpieces. Often the journaling that helps the most are where you’ve nearly scribbled through the paper! Benefits of Journaling with Crystals Journaling with crystals can add another dimension to your practice, helping with [...]

This week I’m going to be talking about setting up Flower of Life crystal grid, which is one of my favourites because it is so versatile, but it is also just so pretty and feels so balancing. About the Flower of Life Crystal Grid The Flower of Life is created from [...]

A couple of weeks ago, a friend asked me about lapis lazuli, she was uncertain about buying it because she’d heard that there was ethical considerations. So that made me think and go and do a bit of research. I always buy my crystals from sources that state they source from ethical suppliers. [...]

Something a bit different from me this week. I’m answering a few questions about how my business runs and why I might not be a good fit for you. You expect next day delivery I’m not Amazon Prime, I’m a one woman small business with a part time salaried job and [...]

This year I'm creating the first NKN Crystal Advent Calendar, so I wanted to chat about Advent this week. History of Advent Calendars Advent calendars came into being in the earliest 20th century. There is some debate over if the first one was produced in Austria or Germany. Each had 24 pictures representing the countdown [...]
