Bauble of the Day: Dior Skull Rings and Crystal Skull Vodka

2012-01-14T21:38:00.001-05:00

I'm resurrecting these Dior Skeleton Wedding Rings from 2009-- because --well forget fashion, they're timeless works of art. Skulls are forever and perfect to sip with your Crystal Skull Vodka!

Please let me RAVE about this vodka. I'm a vodka person, and I have my favorites, but believe me, there's NOTHING like this vodka-- when I tell you it's PRISTINE, pure and even elicits flashes of angelic inspiration, don't doubt me. Just head to the nearest store and get a bottle for yourself. I snagged mine on sale shortly after Christmas and I'm so glad I did! I've got a Meyer lemon/grapefruit drop going there.

Crystal Head Vodka is a premium vodka manufactured by Globefill In in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The vodka was co-founded by actor Dan Aykroyd and artist John Alexandar The vodka is quadruple-distilled, triple-filtered through charcoal and triple-filtered through Herkimer diamond crystals. The product is packaged in a cardboard box, sold in a clear glass bottle in the shape of a human skull that has a wooden bottle closure.

***Launched in 2008, Crystal Head Vodka was the fastest penetrating product to all 50 US states in history. Crystal Head Vodka is free from any additives including citrus oil, glycerin, sugar and synthetic flavourings.

The brand has been given OU Kosher certification. It is currently available in North America, Ireland, the UK, Switzerland, Germany, India, China, Australia and South East Asia.

The skulls are manufactured by Bruni Glass.

The vodka itself offers a smooth taste, with a little bit of licorice on the finish that tends to linger

HAPPY NEW YEAR PRAYER by Danielle LaPorte

2011-12-31T20:52:00.004-05:00

Honestly I can't wait to share this with you--a dear friend sent it to me and posted on her blog, and it was put out by the amazing Danielle Laporte of White Hot Truth fame.... I really want the poem, which is positively brilliant, to be here for you, or anyone who has even a drop of procrastination in them...I want it to be right out front because it's going to be my compass for this year 2012.

via

HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and yours....we made it through another year....let's set our sights on the BEST in this coming year. Only the best.

A PRAYER FOR RECOVERING EXPECTATION ADDICTS

Lord, Shiva, Yaweh, Saraswati, [insert your own deities here] pimp my shizzle and deliver me to where it's best.

Yess'm, Jesus, life, cosmic intelligence, Milky Way Magi, take the wheel.

I know you've got my back. I know that you know how intensely my heart burns, how sweet is the honey at the center of my center, how much I am capable of. And God knows (that'd be you) how game I am to collaborate with you to make good stuff happen.

I accept my calling: to show up and shine. Unfurled and honest. Determined to be only that which I am.

I'm here to give...my all.

I trust that pure intention counts for plentiful support.

I trust we'll get where I'm going, together -- once I learn to be where I am.

I'll go make my art now.

I have faith that you've got the rest covered.

Amen. Om shanti. Shalom.

New Year's Bling-Jewelry Selections Fit for 2012

2011-12-27T20:43:00.002-05:00

All tuckered out after the big holiday rush? Your house a mess after all the festivities? Well, this may be worst time to bring this up, but have you given any thought on how you're going to BLING in the New Year??? hummm???

New Years Eve 2011---is a special, special time. This coming year will have much to say to all of us, and much will be required of us this year. I say, it's time to give it all UP!

Yes, that's right, give it up. Join me I'm on a blitz to purge old clothes, decor, and the last of my perfume. Yes, it's all essential oils for me from now on! I'm going to be rethinking and reexamining old habits, behaviors, and beliefs while Im at it, and I feel a real sense of urgency about it. Is anyone else feeling like this?

The point is, while previous New Years may have found you couched up with your honey or your cat eating nachos and watching the ball, --but I suggest you make this year different. Be aware of what you're wearing, what you're projecting, and what's on your mind in terms of thoughts this New Year's Eve, as this could very well set the tone for the whole year!

My suggestion is, resolve to stay on the lighter side of everything this year, and let that be it. By lighter, I mean, lighter body, mind, and spirit.

Body wise these are the basics-- how natural can it get? Breathe more, drink lots of water with organic lemon slices, and dance every day. Give up one vice-and be done with it. I wonder where you'd be at the end of one year with that regimine. One year I decided to give up anything with hydrogenated oil in it, and that steered me away from plenty of choices that weren't so great. Wear crystals and gems that assist in lightening it all up: heulandite, rultile smoky quartz and morganite. Get one, get 'em all!

Morganite

Heulandite

For the mind, give up guilt. Give it right the hell up. Let there be a twinkly little fairy bell that goes off inside your head everytime you feel that familiar creepy, crawling, all pervasive CRAWL that throws a wet blanket on everything and turns you against your goddess self. Protect yourself from guilt--that's a basic for everything.

Beyond that, I really recommend mirror affirmations and GRATITUDE as daily practices.

I've got a key affirmation tapped up on all the mirrors so that whenever I see it and I just repeat out loud and look in the mirror while doing it. No fuss no muss. And if your boyfriend gives you grief about it, get another boyfriend.
Here's one example:

Ok, well, you can find a better one.

While you're at it, break out of the mold and buy yourself some kind of nail color you'd NEVER have considered before, put it on on Friday and leave it on all weekend. See what happens.

Spirit wise, tell yourself you're going to hold still for 5 min. everyday where ever and whenever you can. Be that on the bus, walking the dog, or sipping tea by the water cooler each morning at work. Open up Denise Linn's Mystical Healing Portal --book mark it at work even, and if you feel any poisons creeping from the corporate nightmare job, just stare at it for a while and drink some rose petal tea--stash it in your top drawer. Why not, what's the big deal? Takes no effort at all.

Meditation shouldn't be any big theatrical production-it should be simple and easy. Let your mind wander and pay attention to the space between the thoughts....you're going to get so good at it, it will become something you look forward to doing each day!

Get onto Pandora and create a station of songs from pre- 50's-listen to Johnny Hartman, Sarah Vaughn, Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington while you're cooking dinner and turn off the TV. Reduce your news intake by 50% by playing crystal bowl meditation music with dolphins as you're getting ready for work. And while you're at it, get yourself some gorgeous Japanese Gemstone incense (choose from ruby, sapphire, diamond, emerald) and light a stick each morning in your bathroom right after you get up. Say a prayer while you're in the shower. Use sea salt in an evening foot soak and have an enlightened crystal cocktail (complete with gem elixir ice cubes!)

Can you imagine the improvement in your overall vibration with just these simple, lovely things? What are some of your soul lifting practices? We can all use the help, believe me!

Well, ok, so body, mind, and soul, we've got to offer ourselves only the best this coming year-- it's bound to be special, and let New Year's Eve find you somewhere happy, surrounded by people you want to be with, and things you want to do, and things you'd like to eat. Look gorgeous, no matter where you are. I'm going to.

Here are a few baubles from the shop that might help get you sparkling this New Year's Eve...it's all in an effort to bring more light into your life. Everything here is vintage, and super affordable-- I didn't take the time to put prices, but trust me, great prices. Get even more value for your dollar by wearing it OFTEN- don't wait for a special occasion! I had a friend who would do Sparkle bubble baths--that's right, she wore the bling in the bathtub! HAve you ever tried it? woooooooooooo! Liberating!

And just for being here, if anything catches your eye hit the right keys and send me a note that you read this post and I'll refund your shipping. Let's go!

Merriest of Christmas Eve's

2011-12-24T02:19:00.000-05:00

To all my readers, and customers, and special friends.....a special thanks for a wonderful year in jewelry and all the great exchanges we've had and people we've met. Do you like my book tree?? Thank you to a dear friend for the delightful box of surprises; all kinds packages wrapped in gorgeous turquoise paper and tulle and organza and beads with shiny leaves and squiggly lavender paper confetti. I cannot wait to introduce you to my new card deck, and Tiki's going to love the unwrapping!

I'm lucky to be amidst so many kindred souls and lovers of gemstone beauty and Mother Earth. May love abound in the New Year for you.....Crystal Blessings to all!

Grapefruit Margaritas: Silver Tequila, Triple sec, grapefruit, Izze Grapefruit soda, or Italian Grapefruit soda (pictured), lime. I didn't have triple sec, or silver, but used a splash of Gold, and went without a salt rim and it STILL came out amazing. You can leave out the soda completely and just use grapefruit juice and lime by the way. Perfectly all right. And to all a good night!
