What a perfect day for a simple hot (or iced) Vanilla Latte. But for an extra bit of fun the Banana Latte with a Caramel Drizzle is a game changer. Also peep the Erstwhile branded mug by RG Creations.

Sip & Shop Selection of the Day

Banana Split Latte
Sweet, nostalgic, and full of playful comfort, this latte blends strawberry and banana into a flavor that feels familiar in the best way. Smooth and creamy with a soft fruit brightness, it carries the feeling of a favorite summer treat reimagined as a cozy café drink. There is something carefree about it, inviting you to lean into joy without overthinking it.

Zodiac Keychains by Engraved Impressions
These engraved zodiac keychains are created by local small business Engraved Impressions and make a simple but meaningful way to carry a piece of your identity with you. Each sign carries its own energy, strengths, and symbolism, offering a small reminder of the qualities that make us uniquely ourselves. Thoughtful, personal, and locally made, they are the kind of everyday item that feels a little more special because of the intention behind it.

Together, this pairing celebrates individuality, joy, and reconnecting with the parts of yourself that feel authentic and fun.

Today’s Intention:
I embrace who I am fully and allow myself to find joy in the little things.

Sip & Shop Selection of the Day

Summer Solstice Fizzer
Bright, juicy, and full of summer energy, this fizzer blends vibrant berry sweetness with floral hibiscus and a sparkling finish that keeps it light and refreshing. It feels playful and alive, like warm air, longer evenings, and the kind of day that makes you want to stay outside just a little longer. Crisp, colorful, and uplifting, this is a drink that leans fully into the feeling of the season.

Spell Candles
Spell candles are tools of intention, focus, and ritual. Often used in manifestation work, meditation, cleansing, or personal reflection, they help create a dedicated moment to pause and direct energy with purpose. Each candle becomes a small act of intention setting, whether the goal is clarity, protection, self love, abundance, or release. The flame serves as both a focal point and a reminder that even small rituals can carry meaningful transformation.

Together, this pairing celebrates intention and vitality, encouraging you to reconnect with joy while remaining mindful of what you are calling into your life.

Today’s Intention:
I move with purpose, welcome joy, and trust the energy I am creating.

Thank you to all of the amazing humans who attended our event last Saturday night. We had 7 beautiful voices get up and speak and I could not be more honored to have been able to hold this space with them.

Until next time.

✨It is the New Moon in Aries.
The Astrological year started recently marking this the first New moon after the Spring equinox.
With the rare seven planet stellium surrounding the Moon, the intensity will cause chaotic energy. With the outer planets there can be a collective adrenal exhaustion and a desire to escape.
Yesterday the Sun joined Chiron the wounded healer creating a Cazimi and today the Moon joins Chiron. There is a wound with identity bringing up feeling invisible or not important, pushing you to recognize where you have allowed self-doubt to block your progress.
This is the time to evaluate where you have been limiting yourself, struggling with your self-image, or facing challenges regarding your right to take up space. ✨
