May Tamed Wild Box

-

 I was super happy with this box! It came on the day of my second COVID shot and was the bright spot of that day! 

The first thing I saw upon opening was The Earth and Animal Spirits book! I am always happy to get books and looking through this one since then - it is quite informative! The first part is about different animal spirits and second half are earth spirits like fairies, elves, gnomes and even goblins! 


The second thing I pulled out wondering what it was ended up being a small bar of handmade soap with little amethyst chips inside! I can't wait to use and get all the chips out! 



Next I opened the little box and inside was a green aventurine tree of life necklace! I have a couple tree of life pendants, but this one is quite different. It is a good size, around 2", not tiny like last months pendant. I've already worn it once! 



Then the little bag, an adorable carved agate stone cat! Apparently there were quite a few different animals you could get and they "intuitively" chose one and in my case I would say they chose right!


Earthly spirits tea, enlarge to read ingredients.



Lastly, was the altar cloth! A beautiful velvet forest green with a gold tree of life! 



A card describing the uses of items and their meaning. Also, a card with a nature spirits ritual that I think I will try for summer solstice. I will report on that after I try it! 

I haven't tried the tea yet, but I have rarely met a tea I didn't like and on a 1 to 5 star scale I give this months box  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Pablo

  A few weeks back I saw cute obsidian aliens like Pablo on one of those overpriced new agey sites. They wanted $45 dollars, plus shipping! I didn't like it that much so I checked Etsy and found I could get the exact same one from China for under $20 including shipping. He arrived today! I was sitting outside and enjoying rubbing his smooth cool head, not really thinking of anything and all of the sudden the name Pablo popped into my mind! I just assumed he was telling me his name. I would expect a Chinese name, but no that is what came into my head and it was pronounced correctly. Right now I am planning on keeping Pablo next to my bed, which may or may not be a good idea. I wait to see if he has anything else to say!  Addendum: I looked up the meaning of the name Pablo and it was "small and humble." As you can see he is quite small.

Subscription Boxes, part 2: Ipsy

-

 COVID has been tough on all of us! Not being able to go out shopping for any girlie stuff I subscribed to Ipsy about a year ago.  For those of you who don't know, Ipsy sends out a monthly subscription bag with about 5 items. Most are sample size, but some are full sized. It is $12 per month and if you consider most full sized beauty products (of a good brand) can easily be $10, it is a good deal. Plus, you get to try a lot of new products that you wouldn't necessarily want to buy just to try them.  I just love the little bags so much! You would think getting one a month would be too much, but I use them for all sorts of stuff, not just cosmetics. They are great for crafting supplies, especially if you have a lot of small stuff like beads or even crochet supplies like hooks and needles. I even have a bag full of spare batteries!  The problem with Ipsy during this past year has been that many of the products I can't really use. Skin care and eye makeup is really abou...
