Add some whimsy to your purse/bag with these beautiful bag charms. Made from reclaimed items. And unlike some so called eco companies, it doesn’t cost an organ to purchase, you’re supporting a Coraopolis crafter and a brick n mortar business. That’s how a holistic economy works. Wins all around.🖤

Charms $8 each

It’s only taken me 2 years to get this wreath completed🤦‍♀️. I get stuck in creative possibilities and then I freeze because I don’t want to make the wrong choice.

I sourced the grapevine from my yard, soaked it in dawn soap, rinsed it, re soaked and wove it. Sprayed it with black matte. I sculpted and painted the ink cap mushrooms and I sourced the purple dyed amaranth from a floral supplier and the Spanish/ reindeer moss I got from the craft store, RIP Jo Anns. (F**k you private equity for ruining the world)….. anyways, this dark beauty is for my eldest.
If I sold this it would be priced at $100.

Thank you Ray { Emma Jean's Relics } for this😁. Of all the things I am, doing graphic design and tech I am not. Having to make content and posts shut down my executive function and I just put it off.

Theme: Spooky, goth, whimsy, witchy handmade treasures.
Tea leaf, palm, tarot etc readers.

Where: the parking lot across from Emma Jeans Relics.

Read the info below in the post.

Last post for the night! So we are trying something new this year. Carpe Diem Holistic Wellness came up with this idea and we are planning our first Summerween. Thanks Gravity Falls.

We're looking for fun, quirky, and whimsical vendors to join us. The event will be held across the street from Emma Jean's Relics on Saturday, June 20th from 5 pm to 8 pm. Below is the vendor form. If interested, please fill it out. I'll be calling everyone to talk about your merchandise and the rest of the details. Once approved, the cost will be just $10 which will go directly to the Coraopolis Community Development's Food Pantry.

With that said, don't be offended if I say things like "WTF is that?", "Less hot glue please", or "Are you out of your mind?" It's just part of me getting older. I can't hold words in anymore. I've become my sister. Just more feminine.

Here's the link: https://forms.gle/axTwkbQjVDMUmipMA

Don't disappoint me. Everyone else, mark the date for this new adventure. Here's your chance to put on that undersized Temu witches outfit you've been waiting to wear.

Edit: Also, I used a free picture on Canva because I have no brain cells left. There will not be women with branches for arms at this event.

Goth history in a few seconds….. ya know alot of people around here see ‘goth’ as something bad, many people won’t even say the word. I’ve been shot down to having goth markets because ‘we don’t want to offend the elder population’🙄

watch video below to get educated. Because, prejudice due to ignorance isn’t cool. 🦇

When will humanity learn that it is a species of animal? When will humanity learn that we are of nature not above it. It’s not something we can buy and sell.

When our earth is sick we are sick, and it’s about time we start pick up after ourselves. Our actions create ripples that will resonate for decades.

Do your kids know the sounds of different bird songs? Can they identify different bird species? How about plants?

If you don’t foster a relationship with nature your kids will grow into adults with a disconnect. Now, how many sports teams do your kids know?

Yep

I’ve been emailing Giant Eagle for months now and I finally got a response. Finger’s crossed we will be a considered area. Even if we aren’t…. I tried.

Anyone can email them, I went onto their website and all the way at the bottom
is contact us. In my email I explained our need for their new pharmacy market and I added the address of the old rite aide.

Perhaps if all of you contact them, they will listen to us.

It’s so important to look at your body as a whole working organism, not at individual parts. Everything works together. When one system is out of homeostasis it affects all the other systems like dominos.

Support your endocrine system with wild yam cream. This is good for women and men. But, the following I am addressing women.

Our bodies are made up of many systems that work together. Western sick care looks at the individual parts of the body not the whole. Holistic care looks at the body as a whole. When one system is not working properly the rest are knocked out of balance. The official term is homeostasis.

As we age our estrogen drops. For us estrogen controls EVERYTHING! For this post I’m discussing the endocrine system, our hormones. When we enter the 1st stage of cougar puberty it’s perimenopause our estrogen is all over the place. You can go to get your hormone levels checked today and they will be different tomorrow and so on.

As I mentioned before estrogen controls everything in a woman’s body. As it drops we develop rage, tendinopathy often misdiagnosed as arthritis, frozen shoulder, our skin gets dry and itchy, itchy ears, internal shocks, horrible sleep, hot flashes, GI issues and so on. Basically it’s pure chaos inside our bodies at any given time. And this can last for decades. Now that real research is being done on women it’s been discovered that perimenopause can start at 35….. oh goody.

Wild yam helps support your endocrine system naturally. Give your body the support it needs to age gracefully.
