The Sisters Elemental Review & Giveaway

Earth, Air, Fire and Water. The elements touch our lives everyday in everything we do. From the gentle breeze that strokes our cheeks to the water that we bathe in, we can't escape the magic of the elements, even if we wanted to. The Sisters Elemental have managed to harness the power of the elements of Earth, Water and Fire and bring them together to create a variety of beauty and divination products that are a pleasure for all your senses. These three "sisters" come from different parts of the country, yet they have managed to merge their talents with a little guidance from the elements. The sisters each sent me a little something to try out, and it was definitely a magical experience.

From the Earth Sister


The element of earth harbors all the healing powers of nature. From essential oils to magical herbs, the earth sister has gathered this energy to you bring you hand made soaps and lotions that not only vitalize your senses, but inspire your imagination. With fanciful names like  MidSummer's Night Dream, Elven Mist, Sorcerers Kiss and all natural ingredients, these are beauty essentials that smell so wonderful and feel so nice against your skim, you might just find that you've stepped through the mist into the world of fairy when you're using them.

From The Water Sister

The water sister works in the field of divination. She creates beautiful handmade pendulums. I have a fairly extensive collection of pendulums and I am always excited to see that collection grow. The pendulum I received was made from a beautiful ceramic tile emblazoned with the spiral of life. The piece radiated with the positive energy of its creator, making my readings with this piece feel even more accurate than usual.  To tie in the element of water, each piece is infused with the power of the ocean, and decorated at the end with a symbol of that power, like a fish or coral. In addition to dowsing, these magical talismans can also be used to help balance Chakras, for protection, or as meditation focal points.

From the Fire Sister

The fire sister is the creator of the bath salts. I absolutely loved the Elven Mist bath salts I received to try out. It is made from european bath salts, essential oils, and it even has little lavender buds and peppermint leaves thrown in. Soaking in these salts is a relaxing and rejuvenating experience, and the scent will make you feel as though you are wrapped in the arms of a real Elven Prince.  You will definitely feel the power of the element of fire in the warm tingling sensation that lingers on your skin long after your bath is over.

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,

Far West Handcrafts Review & Giveaway

Discovering the world of Etsy has opened up so many doors for me. I live in a small town, and its impossible to find the types of products I am looking for to suite my spiritual needs. But on Etsy, you can find lovely, hand crafted pieces that hold so much more meaning and power than anything store bought. One of the magical shops I came across is my travels is Far West Handcrafts. I immediately fell in love with their Chakra Hangings, which are so charged with the amazing positive energy of their creator that they are always glowing and warm to the touch.

If you are into Eastern philosophy,Wicca, meditation, Reiki, yoga, or anything New Age, you are probably familiar with at least the basics of the Chakras. For those of you who are not unfamiliar. The Chakras 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.

At Far West Handcrafts, they have harnessed the power of the Chakras into beautiful, collectible artwork.  The hangings are made from very sturdy gold tone wire and seven colored glass orbs that represent the seven colors of our Chakras from root to crown. They are a beautiful decoration in their own right, but they are also so much more. They are a wonderful tool for mediation that can be used as a focal point, especially for Chakra cleansing. They can also be used as an alter wand for ritual purposes. They can be kept indoors or outdoors because items of this quality will have no trouble standing up to the elements.

The Chakra Hanging is only one example of the beautiful hand crafted items you can find at Far West Hand Crafts. They also have  elegant bottle stoppers, humming bird attractors, magic wands, lovely art prints and more. All are available at reasonable prices and shipping is quick. Each piece is a one of a kind creation that you can be proud to display or to keep as a special tool for your own private rituals.
