Pairing your Crystals
From Victoria Beckham’s ELLE interview to Giselle Bündchen’s Vogue 73 Questions, social media has been all the rage about crystals. Crystals have been said to promote positive, grounding, and uplifting energy. Recently there has been more of a movement to be more in tune with our thoughts and feelings, and the importance of taking the time for self-reflection.
Candles are a great way to also generate feelings of positivity and well-being, and combined with your favorite crystals, this garners the ultimate recipe for all the good energy in your space.
FOR LOVE
Whether it’s love for yourself or a pursuit of a romantic interest, we all long for some romance and passion in our lives. Rose quartz is a powerful quartz crystal that has healing properties as well as be a source of unconditional love. Rose quartz has been dated to be in use from the ancient Romans as a healing stone and talisman to cherish. To pair with your beloved rose quartz, we love our Rosewater + Hibiscus, with notes of rose, an aroma known to garner feelings of compassion and love.
FOR SELF-CONFIDENCE
The Ancient Egyptians admired carnelian, a fiery, red crystal, that struck similarities to the sun. Carnelian helps you embody confidence and boldness, as well as providing a warm energy. It is known to be powerful and provide someone with strength and personal power. It’s recommended for anyone who may need a bit more of a push in their confidence. To pair with this gorgeous red stone, we recommend our Mandarin + Resins, with notes of citrus and pink pepper, as well as in a bright-colored vessel, perfect to set a mood-boosting environment.
FOR STRESS-RELIEF
Amethyst is an all-around perfect crystal for stress relief, as it has properties to be anxiety-reducing. This purple stone attracts calming energy, and the same can be said of lavender. Lavender is known for its calming and stress-relieving properties. We recommend our Egyptian Linen + Lavender Buds, with a luxurious blend of lavender and bergamot and other calming aromas. We also have been loving this Amethyst Macrame Knot bracelet from the Crystal Elephant, so that you can go through your day with calmness.
FOR FOCUS & PRODUCTIVITY
During a day at work, we understand the challenges of staying focused. Your mind drifts from what you want for lunch, to the endless online scroll of retail therapy. Known for its grounding properties for focus and clarity, Black Tourmaline is an excellent choice for the workplace. To pair with this focus-inducing crystal, we recommend our Coffee Bean + Cacao candle. The smell of coffee has scientifically shown signs of giving the mind a brain boost. Black Tourmaline and the smell of coffee are a recipe for success in the office.
FOR BALANCE
Life oftentimes feels chaotic. Balancing your work, personal life, and other endeavors, we understand the challenges of navigating through schedules. Calcite is a great crystal for emotional balance, providing a clarifying and grounding energy. Calcite comes in a range of different colors, all providing energies to cast away negativity and inspire emotional healing. From an olfactory side, Sandalwood is an aroma that releases all the tension inside. We recommend our Coastal Redwood + Mandarin candle that contains notes of sandalwood as well as bergamot to pair with your calcite crystal.
Just as how every crystal is respective to whatever you need in life, you can personalize your choice in the selection of candles. Each candle contains different notes, each representing different aromas to stimulate an overall positive environment.
