August Abundance
Clean – yet luxurious – candles, oral care products, and an exploration of this year's lion's gate portal on 8/8/24.
Let it Burn
Below is a lineup of nontoxic candles (soy or vegetable wax, cotton wicks, and fragrances crafted with essential oils or safe synthetics) that brighten your space with beautiful packaging and elevated scents.
MAISON LOUIS MARIE, No.09 Vallée de Farney: scent profile- grapefruit, patchouli, vetiver
HERETIC PARFUM, Dirty Hinoki: scent profile- earthy and ethereal
SALT & STONE, Saffron & Cedar: scent profile- woody cedar & surf wax
BROOKLYN CANDLE STUDIO, Santorini Escapist: scent profile- orchard of ripe fig trees
HENRY ROSE, Queens & Monsters: scent profile-zesty petitgrain, sandalwood, and a hint of freesia
Natural Oral Care
BRUSHING
I like this version of Davids Natural Toothpaste because it’s fluoride-free, SLS-free, EWG-verified, and more. Honestly, I’m also partial to this brand because it’s satisfying to use the key to get every last bit of the paste from the recyclable metal tube: just slide the key on the end and roll up as needed.
Whenever I feel any tooth or gum sensitivity, or simply want to kick things up a notch, I put a dollop of this ozonated olive oil on my toothbrush and brush for a minute or so. The peppermint oil helps make this product more palatable than plain ozonated olive oil.
PurO3 Ozone Teeth and Gum Support
“Ozonated olive oil is a type of oil that has been infused with ozone, a gaseous molecule containing three oxygen atoms. Ozone is highly reactive and readily undergoes chemical reactions with other compounds it comes into contact with. Its high reactivity makes ozone an excellent antimicrobial agent that helps eliminate bacteria, viruses, and fungi.” Dr. Berg
OIL PULLING
Oil pulling is an ancient Ayurvedic practice that helps remove bacteria, supports teeth and gum health, and whitens teeth. It’s also an effective way to work the mouth, jaw, and facial muscles. I like the options below because the oils (coconut and olive oil respectively) are also ozonated.
MOUTHWASH
If you’re partial to mouthwash, here’s an alternative to mainstream brands, many of which contain alcohol, artificial flavors, and other ingredients that majorly disrupt the biome of your mouth and gut. This product is alcohol, fluoride, and SLS-free with ingredients like coconut oil, lemon peel oil, and dead sea salt.
TONGUE SCRAPING
Also an Ayurvedic practice, tongue scraping is a nice morning addition to clear toxins that accumulate overnight. Stainless steel or copper is recommended, versus plastic.
Workshop to Explore
Abundance Activation Event on 8/8
I discovered Chris Corsini on IG and found his pizazz, humor, and blunt approach to tarot and astrology readings endearing.
August 8, 2024, provides a unique energetic opportunity according to numerology: “This year is an 8 year (2+0+2+4) so August (the 8th month) invites us into the deep activation of 8/8/8 energy.”
Corsini is offering a workshop at 3:00 pm EST (8:00 pm in Lisbon, Portugal where he’s located) on Thursday, 8/8 to “harness the transformative power of 8 and unlock your path to prosperity.”
Final Thought
Wishing you a wonderful August. x- BB.
