Secret Window Review & Giveaway




 It has been said that mirrors are windows to the soul. If that is true, than there are no better mirrors to do your soul searching than the beautiful handcrafted collection at the Secret Window. This little Etsy shop specializes in refurbishing vintage mirrors to create something new and unique that will add a touch of class and elegance to any home. In addition to their decorative mirrors, they also have a very special kind of mirror.  Scrying mirrors have been a mystical tool for divination for centuries, and the ones available at the Secret Window will help you uncover your future.




As someone who has been practicing Wicca for eight years, I have experimented with many forms of divination, but scrying remains one of my favorites. With scrying you can see the past, present and future as clearly as your mirror image. I find it to be especially helpful with past life regression. You don't have to use mirrors for scrying, something as simple as a bowl of water will suffice. But I prefer a black glass scrying mirror, like the beautiful maiden mirror I received from the Secret Window The elegant silver maiden helps me to get in tune with the power of the Goddess and makes me feel She is close while working my magic. The hand held size allows me to do my scrying where ever I feel called to, whether its by my altar or out in nature. Even with its magical qualities aside, this beautiful mirror is a lovely piece of art that I am happy to have in my collection.



The Maiden Scrying Mirror is only one example of the beautiful works of art that you can find at the Secret Window. In addition to her mirrors,  you can also find refurbished picture frames, candle snuffers and lots of other lovely vintage finds. The prices for their mirrors are much more affordable than department stores. There are lots of different styles to choose from, and each piece is a one of kind creation that no one else is going to have hanging on their walls. So whether you are looking to brighten up your decor, or gaze into your future, check out the Secret Window and find just the right mirror for you today.

NanoStyle Jewelry Review & Giveaway - Jewelry for a New Age



 I love unique and original jewelry, especially if it has a New Age twist. At NanoStyle, I found jewelry that is unlike anything I have come across anywhere else. They take beautiful colored cubic zirconia and black onyx stones and create unique works of art by imprinting symbols and words into them with gold.  No matter what your path or faith you can find meaningful pieces of jewelry to express your beliefs. There are entire prayers or expressions of love in every language etched into the delicate stones, giving you a piece of jewelry that is way more than just a fashion statement.



I was excited to find some really unique spiritual pendants at NanoStyle that were a perfect fit for my New Age style. My favorite piece is the Chakra pendant which is available in both silver and gold. It features the classic Chakra pose which is chiseled into the delicate black onyx in bright gold.   If you are not familiar with the Chakras, they are the seven vortexes of spinning energy that start at your spine (root chakra)  and go up to the top of your head (crown Chakra). Each Chakra vibrates with a different color and controls a different area of our emotions. If your Chakras are not functioning properly, it can cause you both emotional and physical problems. Practicing Yoga and mediation is a wonderful way to keep your Chakras in balance and help you become more in touch with your own spirituality. The Chakra necklace is a perfect representation of this ancient practice. Wearing the necklace is not only calming and grounding, but a great focal point for meditation.



The Chakra pendant is only one example of so many beautiful choices you can find at NanoStyle. They also have zodiac signs, Christian pendants, and their adorable love pendants to name just a few pieces.  Shipping is fast and free on all orders.  They also offer a money back guarantee. If you are looking for something special to spice up your fall wardrobe, the jewelry from NanoStyle is a great place to start shopping,



One very lucky winner is going to receive the beautiful the I Love You in 120 Languages pendant from NanoStyle! The winner can choose whether they would prefer onyx or cubic zirconia stones. To enter, just complete the Rafflecopter form below. You will be able to enter this giveaway at both the New Age Mama and Author Laura DeLuca blogs. You only need to enter ONCE. Please do not enter on both blogs. Entries will be merged and one winner will be chosen.  Winners will be notified via email and will have 48 hours to reply.

Mystic Pieces Review & #Rafflecopter Giveaway




I love jewelry and I am always looking for new and unique pieces to add to my collection.  Something that is filled with a little magic and mystery is always a nice bonus. That is exactly what you'll find at Mystic Pieces. They offer dozens of beautiful vintage style pendants that will help to accentuate any wardrobe choice, whether you are into Gothic or vintage. They are hand made, one of kind works of art that are the perfect choice for anyone that wants to take a step back in time with their beautiful steam punk styles.



For my review, I received the Dragonfly pendant. I have always loved dragonflies. They are one of the magical creatures that must have the power to travel between our world and the fairy world. With this pendant, you will feel that magical essence even more. The steam punk dials are vintage and enhanced by sparkling pink crystals. The combination will make you feel like you are holding the key to parting the mists and stepping into the world of fairies and magic. You simply can't ask for a more beautiful piece.



The Dragonfly is only one examples of the amazing creations you can find at Mystic Pieces.  They also have earrings, brooches, bracelets and more. They even have a few pieces for men. Not only are they beautiful, but also eco-friendly because they are using watch pieces that would have been discarded. If you are looking for a unique and versatile piece to add to your fall wardrobe, or even something with a touch of darkness to spice up your Halloween, than Mystic Pieces is the perfect place to start shopping.



One lucky winner is going to receive the beautiful Spider Web Steam Punk pendant in the picture above. To enter, this giveaway, just fill out the Rafflecopter form below.
