Crystals are a girl's best friend.

For me, crystals are a part of my life that help shape who I am on a daily basis. No, I do not mean that I solely rely on the crystals to make me who I am, but I do believe the power they hold within them.

I charge them in the Full Moon, cleanse them within Mother Earth and bring them with me in situations that call for certain crystals.

My collection is rather small, but it is in the process of becoming larger and stronger each day. When I was younger, my Mom introduced my sister and I to crystals. She came back from a trip to Arizona and brought back a citrine crystal necklace for my sister and an amethyst crystal for me. I still have it and hold it dear to my heart. It brought me closer to something that helps define who I am, pushing me to be the person the Universe designed me to be.

My crystals range from Rhodochrosite, Tigers Eye, Smokey Quartz, Opal, Amethyst Geodes, Labradorite prisms, Citrine, Moon Stones, Larimar, Sodalite, Serpentine, as well as countless others. I keep them next to my salt lamp, arranged differently depending on how I feel when I wake up that morning.

Some people think that crystals have no meaning and are pointless, but it is different depending on who you are talking to.

To some, crystals introduce them to a new reality, giving them the ability to escape the corruption of this physical life and create a life of peace, love and serenity. This is why I have grown so attached. Not only are they absolutely gorgeous to look at, but they allow me to see myself and the world around me in a different and more enlightened perspective.

As my collection slowly grows with time, I feel myself escape into the dimension my crystals create for me.

Live life in the brightest colors that the Universe intended it to be lived.

Adore each moment.

Adore the gifts the Universe presents you with.

Adore yourself.

Stay Woke.
