What gemstones best fit you or your Aquarius?  

2020 was a fantastic year for Wisdom Body and Soul, even with this insane pandemic. While I obviously worked less in-person events, I did a lot of work organizing and improving my online store.

In addition, I rolled out membership packs that reward my long-time followers with an excellent blend of soaps, jewelry, eye pillows, and essential oils that leave them feeling ahh-mazing. Here are a few products that sold great in 2020, and I guarantee will be perfect in 2021!

1) Owlets Monthly Membership Box

This has quickly become my signature item. Sign up for a three-month or six-month period to receive crazy-good variety of comfy items. Soaps, jewelry, essential oils, eye pillows, bath bombs, and so much more! Care packs are a perfect way to brighten your day with surprises that you'll actually look forward to, and I can tell you that this fits the bill!

2) Herbal Eye Pillows

If you're looking for a smaller purchase that will still comfort you, try out an Herbal Eye Pillow! This blend of scents (including lavender, peppermint, and spearmint) are believed to promote calming, sleep, relaxation while squeezing out the tension. Many of my customers tell them that these pillows give them the best sleep they've ever had, which sounds like a great thing to enjoy during the madness of the world!

3) Gemstone Facial Massage Tool

Those skin muscles need a little rubbing too, ya know! We don't usually pay attention to our face in terms of massages, but a good facial massage can reduce tension, encourage blood flow, and gently smooth away stress. This Gemstone Facial Massage Tool is a fantastic DIY way to rub yourself down in a way that will immediately put you at ease. Easy peezy, right?
​

It fills my heart with love to know when someone is going out and looking for something that will make ME happy. If you're a man and reading this, then take note...

If you're one of the ladies that doesn't know how they want to be treated for Valentine's Day, I have some ides to share! These gifts promote comfort, relieve stress, and will help make 2021 the year you kicked the anxiety to the curb.

1) Enjoy a Gua Sha massage!

Gua Sha massages aren't just a bunch of mumbo jumbo; they're one of my favorite ways relax the skin and encourage blood circulation throughout the body. Yeah, they look like Gumby hearts, but experiencing a Gua Sha massage helps me relax like nothing us!

Guys, if you want to present this gift in the most romantic way possible, offer her a personalized massage with a Wisdom Body & Soul Gua Sha Massage Tool! You're welcome for the brownie points.

2) Never worry about feeling pretty again!

How would you like jewelry that makes you feel so pretty, you never have to worry about how you look. In turn, how would you like it if that jewelry helps you RELAX as well?

That's what my essential oil bracelets and other jewelry can offer. They will look fantastic on you, but many off them are made of lava stone jewelry, which is perfect drop a few calming essential oils in and take a deep breath over. When I say it's comfort on the go, I mean it!

3) Get a monthly shipment of comfort, delivered right to you!

For me, shopping for soap at the store is NOT FUN. There's too many people, shopping with kids is not fun, real hassle looking for the natural stuff and I feel so rushed.

That's why an Owlets Membership is a great way to receive monthly, customized and quality ways to stay comfortable. Soaps, essential oils, jewelry, eye pillows, you name it. I will have a way to make your day just that much more relaxing.

Guys -- she's gonna think this is the greatest gift you could ever get her. At least that's what my girlfriends told me!

Soap is a great way to sooth your skin, but what about soothing that stressed-out mind? Try a Gua Sha Massage Tool!

What exactly is Gua Sha, besides a funky-sounding word? According to Healthline, "Gua sha is a natural, alternative therapy that involves scraping your skin with a massage tool to improve your circulation. This ancient Chinese healing technique may offer a unique approach to better health, addressing issues like chronic pain."

Better circulation means less stiffness in the body, which in turn can lead to more relaxation and a better life! 

1) Facial Massage Wash face I like to use oil cleanser, use toner and apply oil to your face. Always use your tool flat or at a slight angle, never use too much pressure and extremely gentle around the eye area.   Wash your stone with soap and water when done.  ​
2) Body Massage  Perfect for easing sore muscles and tense areas. Pro tip put your stone in the freezer or fridge for body massage its amazing!  
3) Neck Tension. Studies out there show that people who were massaged with Gua Sha felt less neck pain than the ones who weren't. I have a LOTTA neck tension and I can tell you that Gua Sha massage has always help massage my neck tension.

Do you read this how-to and crave the comfort that a Gua Sha can provide? Then take time to check out and order the ones I have! $20 gets you stimulated circulation and a happier life, which sounds like a bargain to me!

Life is always stressful, but it is best to turn the home into a place where you can block out all distractions and negativity. In my opinion, an amazing way to do that is with a steam facial!

If you have not done a steam facial, you really should!  Steam facials are a great DIY way to hydrate your skin, refresh your sinuses and release any stress from your day.  

Want to try one yourself? Here are some extremely easy steps:

1.  Wash your face
2. Grab a comfy large thick towel
3. Boil 2-3 cups of water, add 1-2 Tablespoon tea, cover and steep for 5 minutes.
4. Add to large heat proof bowl or place you pan somewhere heat safe.
5. Place on a very steady table/ counter somewhere you can sit for 10 minutes.
6. Remove cover, sit down near bowl, place thick large towel over your head and bowl
make a tent.
7. Place your face at least 12-15 inches from bowl and close your eyes.  Rest in your tent for 5-10 min. You can lift towel or take breaks if needed. 
8. Once done you can do a moisture mask or you can refresh with cool toner and moisturize.  
9. You can use cool tea in bath, hair rinse or water your plants. 


In case you are reading this blog and really like the idea of a steam facial, you are going to love that I'm introducing new steam facial teas in my care boxes next month! Check back on my website and stay tuned.
 
If you don’t have time for a steam facial, I also enjoy a really warm soft washcloth.

1. Add hot water to a soft washcloth
2. Lean back in tub or your chair and properly place the towel on your face where you can still breath.
3. Leave it there for 5 minutes, if you need to get more hot water.  Not too hot!
4. Make sure to close your eyes and take a few deep breaths.
5. Moisturize afterwards
