Living in the now, this autumn

Look at me writing another blog so soon!

I had an email this morning where the author mentioned having their Christmas decorations up, and they'd been receiving emails about 2025 planners. 


And while I get that as a small business owner, I should plan ahead, or even at all! It made me think of shopearly2024, I've been focusing on Christmas. But it's still 18 days until Halloween, and the leaves have only just started to fall.


I think I need to live in the moment more, instead of trying to drag the future into the present, before I miss my favourite season.


But I'm also enjoying showcasing 3 products a day for shopearly2024. 


So I found a compromise. I'll showcase my weekly 3 items on stories for those that love to be ahead of the game. While my main posts will be all about autumn, and what I'm doing right now, for those that like to live in the moment and embrace this time of year.


To celebrate the now, and the beautiful changing seasons - the inspiring view while I write this on my phone…


Are you Team Live in the Moment, or Team Live for the Future?

All about autumn crystals

Hi,

I took two days off at at the start of last week, and instead of getting out and about, I've been stuck inside waiting for the rain to stop! And I was so looking forward to October being here, too.  

I snuggled up with a blanket on the sofa, and started writing you guys a blog instead. October is looking like it will be a busy month for me! 

I'm taking part in Folksy's Shop Early 2024. You can get a head start on your Christmas shopping and support small businesses at the same time! And with all amazingly talented people taking part as well, I think I might have to start my Christmas shopping early for a change.

To have a browse on what's on offer, head to folksy.com and search Shopearly2024

Next week, I'm including my bespoke healing crystal bracelet, silver heart design necklace and stress relief necklace and bracelet set at the moment, and plan to change things around to let other products get in the limelight! 

And I can't let my favourite month go by without celebrating the crystals which remind me of the colours of autumn. 

Carnelian

carnelian

Carnelian increases self esteem and courage, and can help overcome procrastination. It can help bring abundance into your life. Physically it helps with circulation, lower back issues and arthritis. It can also help with overall health and wellness. Carnelian is a fabulous crystal with many healing properties. It not only gives you a physical energy boost, but also increases motivation and confidence. It's known as the singer's stone, so if you have always wanted to join a band or choir, this is the crystal to help you do it!

Tiger eye

As well as increasing energy levels, tiger eye and boosts self esteem and confidence. It is a stone of good luck and abundance, and has such beautiful banding with golds and browns, it's a must for jewellery making.


Mookaite 

This crystal has all my favourite colours of autumn, burgundy, browns, and oranges. Mookaite also reduces procrastination, allowing self reflection to find the cause of avoidance. Also boosting motivation so you can work on solving the issue.

Orange aventurine

You need this crystal if you need a positive outlook. It encourages pleasant encounters with people in your daily life, which I feel we need more of in society at the moment! Orange aventurine increases confidence, and can help to release feelings of being stuck.
