Are you open to radical self-care? Truly? Do not let yourself be basted in compliments that erode your wholeness. Don't jump on the grill to be liked, befriended, followed, fawned over, erected as a soulless model, only to have the crowd tear you down. When they say, "you should be a model, TAKE the opportunity to go wild. Respond, a model of what? Astro-physical dynamics? Self loathing? Self Love? Self Honor? Dignity? Peace? Kindness? Please specify, so I may know that now you see me. OR RATHER, how much of me you see.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I love this excerpt from Jaiya John, what a brilliant man and how he so beautifully honors women. Truly brilliant and so important for us all to remember AND so important for us to teach the next generation of girls.
"Today is for loving. Yesterday too"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Love loves love. Lose your heart boundary. Merge with infinite beauty. When you love more, more love flocks to you. Fall into soulful Love countless times. There is no end to the beginning of Love. If you want to be kissed by eternal sunlight, call yourself by your truest name: Love. Then live up to your name!
"Self-pleasure" better expresses what ma********on has to offer. It accurately alludes to the voluntary practice of caring for one's s*xual desires. Likewise, it defines the act in terms of self-exploration and embodied pleasure. Whatever you prefer to call it (“solo s*x” & “s*xual self-care” are other ideas), and whether you're here out of curiosity or because you also have experienced s*xual shame, consider this a permission slip. Together, let us demystify self-pleasure and talk about how to practice it mindfully. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sexual shame—it's one thing many women have in common. Not everyone experiences it, but enough do. Shame doesn't discriminate based on gender, language, or culture. It can show up in bed with our partner, as well as when we're alone and exploring our bodies. You can thank taboos, misinformation, and flawed constructs for the embarrassment we feel about our innate s*xual desires. This is especially true when it comes to solo s*x. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Natalie Angier best explains this in "Woman: An Intimate Geography". How can women know what is 'natural' when we are treated as unnatural for wanting our lust, our freedom, the music of our bodies?"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mindful self-pleasure begins when we release shame and instead listen to the music of our bodies. What does that mean? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Simply put, it's self-stimulation without judgment or expectation. The only goal is to remain present in mind and grounded in the physical experience. Similar to other mindful practices, the aim is to focus on the moment and how our body feels. “Self-pleasure invites us to get acquainted (like really acquainted) with our bodies.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I invite you to try Pleasure Plus and take some mindful time with yourself this week. Enjoy this week’s sale of 20% with use of code PLEASURE20 at checkout.
If you are looking to get to know your body with yourself or your partner, Pleasure Plus is a wonderful way to help you explore your deep beauty.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I invite you to love your soul for a moment. Really Love it. The unseen part of you is real. A wilderness that needs your love. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I invite you to have a love affair with your body. This is personal work, not public. Remember that. As Jaiya John states "you're an ornament. do not leave yourself hanging".⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

All bodies, intimate parts included, are different. Vulvas and pen*ses come in an array of sizes, shapes, and colors. Moreover, every s*x organ experiences stimulation and pleasure uniquely. Mindful self-pleasure opens us up to experiencing pleasure specific to our body—which often differs from our default ma********on patterns. We're conditioned to experience s*x (both partnered and solo) as linear, with or**sm being the goal. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because of this, we engage in self-pleasure using similar techniques. We rush to touch our most sensitive areas; we rely on specific fantasies; we resort to what we know. This mindset, while subconscious, means we're missing out on the lesser-known pleasure points of our body (called erogenous zones). Likewise, we're relying on our minds to get us off rather than using our breath and paying attention to what's happening with our bodies. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While there's nothing wrong with our favored methods or a self-quickie (a quick or**sm can be a fail-proof cure for releasing stress and tension), mindful self-pleasure invites us into a slower and more intentional space. Like with mindful s*x, there is no goal or measuring stick. We can touch ourselves where it feels good, relishing in the moment-by-moment pleasure. Think of it this way: when we assume we know the best way to ma******te, we ignore our body's request to break old patterns and try something new. But by slowing down and engaging in mindful touch, we can experience pleasure in new and exciting ways. Best of all, practicing mindful self-pleasure often leads to more confidence in partnered s*x. It's a great way to learn about your body and practice pressure-free or**sms so that you can share your findings with your partner. I invite you to splurge and take advantage of Pleasure Plus sale this week only. Use PLEASURE20 at checkout for 20% off.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stop and appreciate the beauty around you - this calming time - even if just for a moment - can reduce stress and its associated negative hormones such as cortisol, which can play havoc on your skin. Comment with a "Thumbs Up and YES" if you stopped to take in a sunset at least one day this week.
Ladies it is time to love up your Yoni! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One way I love to pay attention to my va**na is to use "Pleasure Plus" oil. And while or**sms are amazing (don't get me wrong, I used to say to "an or**sm a day keeps the doctor away") reaching climax is not always necessary. It is equally important to get to know your body. Know what feels good to you, and just be present with your Yoni. That in and of itself, will provide a deep sense of peace if you take the time and allow it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To love up our bodies this summer, I'm offering 20% off Pleasure Plus through 8/9. Use the code of PLEASURE20 at check out to obtain your s*xy discount.
Today 8/1 is the last day to take 20% off Muscle Ease with code EASE20. Offer ends at midnight.
Did you know that delayed onset of muscle soreness is common after exercise and usually means your muscles are getting stronger?! Starting a workout program can be challenging. Making the time to exercise, creating a balanced routine, and setting goals are hard enough, but add to that the muscle soreness that comes with adapting to that regimen, and it may be difficult to stay on track.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sound familiar? Chances are, you won't be leaping out of bed to get to the gym when it hurts to hold your arm up to brush your teeth.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After participating in some kind of strenuous physical activity, particularly something new to your body, it is common to experience muscle soreness, say experts.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Muscles go through quite a bit of physical stress when we exercise," says Rick Sharp, professor of exercise physiology at Iowa State University in Ames.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Mild soreness just a natural outcome of any kind of physical activity," he says. "And they're most prevalent in beginning stages of a program." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So if this sounds familiar - jump in and get this weeks promotion on muscle ease - save your pocket book 20% for this limited time offer. Use code EASE20 at checkout. Your muscles will be happy!
Roman vs. German Chamomile. The plant considered “true chamomile” is commonly called English or Roman chamomile. And “False chamomile” usually refers to German chamomile, or Matricaria recutita. They are very similar, in that they both contain the essential oil chamazulene, although German chamomile contains a higher concentrate. Both are used medicinally as a mild tranquilizer or sedative, natural antiseptic, insect repellents, and are antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial. Both plants are listed as safe herbs for children and adults AND both varietals deter garden pests but attract pollinators, making them excellent companions for fruits and vegetables in your garden.
Is your body sore at all? Perhaps from over indulging in foods or alcohol that don't agree with? Or over exercising? Or even too long of a drive on these beautiful summer days?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you need any sort of relief, for back, muscles, joints - our Muscle Ease blend is an ultimate soother. One of my latest secrets is to bring this blend to my bath with me. I spray some on my legs and then massage my legs, gluts, ankles and even my shoulders while in a nice hot bath. I also love using a hand held body massager that helps increase the impacts of the massage in the bath.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Bonus - we are extending the Muscle Ease sale for an additional week, so if you have any sort of pain, now is the time to try out this powerful plant based magic! Use EASE20 code at check out for 20% off.

This week nurture your body, mind, and spirit with my Muscle Ease blend at a discounted price. Take 20% off through 8/1 with code EASE20.
Do you have have muscle spasms or stiff joints? If so read on - you may be surprised! While most of us think of marjoram as an herb used in delicious rich Italian sauces or herbaceous salads, believe it or not it is a powerful essential oil for pain related issues. During my recovery, I would do hot & cold compresses of marjoram on my lower back. AND I am still doing this every week to support my healing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Besides being a great antibacterial, antiseptic oil, this herb is also an antispasmodic, sedative, arterial vasodilator and historically has been used for muscle spasms, rheumatism, sprains, and stiff joints. So if you need any tips on other oils that can assist with aches and pains just send me a DM. Also note, this week's EASE20 is for the Muscle Ease blend. Another fab product for freeing your body up to move and groove.

After 2 months of barely being able to walk, and 5 months of no sitting and no driving - my compassion for people with back pain / injuries is at a whole new level! The debilitation of such injuries is unbelievable. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The harvesting of plants for essential oils is a beautiful process. Now imagine if the farmers spoke to their fields of lavender and immortelle or blue tansy - how much more magical would their powerful plant compounds be for healing?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Why Body Balms are Better:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Retains Moisture:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the main ingredients in the balm is beeswax. Beeswax forms a protective barrier on the skin to help lock in moisture and protect your skin from environmental irritants and toxins – but still allowing your skin to breathe. And a bonus – even when you wash your hands a lot the balm won’t completely wash off like a lotion, so you don’t have to keep reapplying!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Deep Conditioning:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Balms are formulated with all-natural potent ingredients full of antioxidants and vitamins to hydrate the skin, lock in moisture, and restore skin smoothness. You can use the balm all over your body or sparingly in dry places. Balms are great for feet, elbows, and those tough dry patches of skin.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tip: Put balm on your feet at night and cover with a sock for some intense moisturizing!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pure & Clean:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A little goes a long way! Balms are created with the purest ingredients, no fillers, no preservatives, or water. They are perfect for your non-toxic lifestyle. You only need a little bit at a time to effectively nourish and protect your skin. Balms tend to last approximately 50% longer than lotions because you don’t need as much with every application.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
