Hey queens <3

First and foremost, I (Christine) and we (folxs at ArtForce Iowa) see you, hear you and love you. For my 30th birthday, I wanted to do something special knowing that my original plans went to shit.

Here’s everything included in your care kit.

A. Power Crowns made by me. L to R: Clear quarts coated in titanium, Clear quarts and Citrine power crowns.

Descriptions should all be available in your baggies :)

B. White sage ethically sourced by my Native American friend/artist in Northern MN.

Here’s a quick 3 min video for smudging yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fIMumk2cnA

PRO TIP 1: You don’t want the white sage to be in flames, you want it to produce smoke.

PRO TIP 2: Set an intention before you start to smudge.
For example: I am strong. I am love. I am light.

C. Cinnamon sticks purchased at Namaste grocery store. All around good spice that reduces anxiety and inflammation. You can keep this near your stones or wash it and boil it to make cinnamon tea.

D. Wake up essential oil blend. Lemon and peppermint essential oils with grapeseed oil. Use for a pick me up.

E. Breathe easy essential oil blend. Lemon, peppermint and lavender essential oils with grapeseed oil. Use to help with anxiety and aid in breathing/relaxation.

F. Bath bombs made by Refugee Bath Co: https://www.refugeebathcompany.com/bath-bombs
I LOVE this company and what they’re doing. Completely vegan and animal cruelty free. Use for a bath or for a relaxing foot soak.

G. Black Tourmaline - a great stone to repel and black negative energy and physic attack. Also aids in removing negativity energy in yourself and your space. A wonderful grounding stone for when you feel uncentered.

H. Rose Quartz - a powerful healing stone that helps you to receive and give love. Stone aids in fostering empathy and forgiveness.

I. Citrine - a self-cleansing stone that helps with feeling joy. The energy of this stone is said to help protect the individual from being drained by difficult situations and people.

J. Clear quartz - the most versatile stone of all stones. This stone can be used with another stone or by itself to set any intention. Known to protect from negative energy and connect the individual to their higher self.

K. Bath salts (rosemary mint and eucalyptus) - Can be used for a bath to assist with muscle aches or for two foot baths.

L. Shower bombs: https://www.refugeebathcompany.com/shop/assortment-box-sryeg-aakn6
