SUNDAY SELF CARE JOURNAL

SELF CARE IN THE SUMMER TIME | VOL.23 | 2020 

Hi {{ subscriber.firstName | default('love') }}

IT'S SUMMER TIME! 

Bright skies and warm weather days are HERE. 

Something about this season just uplifts the corners of my lips a little extra.

If you're like me and everything feels a little more easy breezy in the summer time, it's easy to forget about self care. I put down 11 fun + simple (plus free or cheap!) ways to sprinkle self care in flawlessly during the warm weather, like a topping on the perfect fro-yo.  

AND there is a bonus insanely delicious bruschetta recipe in the article. Check it out below, enjoy!

ALSO, I added a FREE virtual vision journal happy hour event to the MoonRise calendar in July and would love for you to attend!  Scroll down to upcoming events and reserve your spot!

I've been admittedly OBSESSING over black tourmaline this week.  Black Tourmaline is a beautiful and powerful stone, meant for cleansing and block of negative energies.  It's very grounding.  Black tourmaline is great to keep near your bedside table, in your car, at your desk, or wear.

Love what you see in the pic?  Check it and the rest of my crystal boutique out below.  If you can't find what you're looking for, I'm happy to help source for you!

CELEBRATE : July Full Moon Citrine Crystal Infused Vin Yin Yoga

Sunday, July 5th, 6:45pm - 8:00pm

(online workshop)

FULL. MOON. VIBES 🌕
The moon is our closest celestial neighbor and powerfully influences every living thing on our planet. Within 28 days, the moon passes through 8 phases, each with its own unique characteristics. The energy of the arguably most influential phase - the full moon - lends for a magical, beautiful and important practice.

Join me for a monthly ALL LEVELS Full Moon Citrine Crystal Infused Vin Yin Yoga Practice in celebration of everything you have achieved throughout the previous phases of the moon.
This is the time that our intentions, dreams and goals come into fruition, it's time to celebrate our accomplishments and create space if things are holding us back.
We will begin and end class by short guided journaling (please bring your moon journal or paper & pen to your mat), and then will practice a gentle vinyasa followed by a calm and serene yin yoga sequence, targeted towards the energy of this specific full moon, and incorporating citrine crystals throughout our poses. Class is all levels. 

WHAT YOU NEED FOR THIS FULL MOON EVENT :
- Set up your yoga mat anywhere in your home that feels great. Try to set up in a quiet space. It's lovely to incorporate your favorite candles and essential oils. 
- We use a lot of props in this practice, and they can be a VARIETY of props. 
Bring to your mat :
Yoga blocks (if you don't have any don't worry! A stack of books would be a great substitute)
Yoga bolster (if you don't have one, grab a couple of pillows from your bed)
A yoga blanket/Mexican blanket (if you don't have one, a few towels will be perfect!)
- A citrine crystal. Attendance to this class is FREE if you purchase one from my crystal boutique (click HERE for inventory)
- A journal or paper & pen
​
Tickets are final sale. Class will be held online via zoom (free app) - you will be emailed login information with purchase.
​
PRICE : $20/single; $30/couple practicing in the same household or FREE with the purchase of a cirtine crystal from MoonRise Self Care Crystal Boutique 

*NOTE - if you purchase a citrine crystal from the MoonRise boutique, you will get your invitation to class with login information several days within purchasing. Please take into account the shipping of your new crystal and purchase early enough to receive (purchase by 7/1 strongly suggested.

July New Moon Circle

Monday July 20th , 6:45pm MST

(online workshop)

The moon represents deep feminine wisdom. Engaging regularly with the moon cycles is a powerful way to become intimately connected with the phases of birth, death, and rebirth. In our lives, we too are constantly moving through these cycles, seasons, and changes. Connecting to and working with the moon as she cycles, creates a life of deeper meaning and more authentic connection as we are able to live a life with more awareness and intention. Join us in a women’s circle as we practice grounding techniques, breath work and development of our intuition. We will share virtual space with each other to receive, connect, and create.
