Sapphire Soul May 2016 Review
Guess what time it is! If you love mystical, magical, otherworldly ish, then you’re gonna wanna peep the goodies in this month’s Sapphire Soul Box. ? If you’re new to Sapphire Soul, it’s a mindful and spiritual subscription box that focuses on nourishing your body-mind-soul connection. This box is all kinds of divine goddessy goodness! You can read all my past reviews here.
Cost: Mindful + Mystic Quarterly Box – $189 with free U.S. shipping; Mindful + Mystic Monthly Box/Bundle (the one I’m reviewing) – $49/month with free U.S. shipping.
Each month Sapphire Soul has a theme which reflects the goodies inside (crystals, energy medicine, crystal healing jewelry, essential oils, teas, candles, etc.), and May’s theme is “Go Smudge Yourself with Soul” – ha, how cute is that!?
May’s Sapphire Soul “Go Smudge Yourself with Soul” Box included:
Handcrafted smudge fan with gemstones, $65+ – This gorgeous smudge fan was handmade by the Sapphire Soul team using organically harvested rooster and guinea feathers. I think that means they were collected by hand after being naturally shed, but I’ll have to verify when I have more info. This is new to me as I usually steer clear of feathers altogether. The SS crew also gathered the twigs from the woods themselves and added citrine (for abundance), agate (for protection & harmony), and dried lavender. This process took the team 3 months to make, and these fans have been “infused with love and magic.” New to smudging? Learn all about this ancient tradition of spiritual cleansing here.
Dumortierite (with info card), $4.50 – This pretty blue rock is like a confidence booster. It’s supposed to teach you to stand up for yourself and take control of your own life, while increasing your level of patience. It’s also said to help stimulate to the brain and make you smarter! Funny/ironic that “dum” is part of this stone’s name. 😉
Crescent moon necklace – I’m not sure what the retail value of this is because it’s a sub for an agate/quartz piece of jewelry that ran out of stock. Btw, like my lil’ action shot of the chain slipping down my finger? …or perhaps it’s vibrating with powerful energy that I’m harnessing in my hand. With this box, ya never know. 😉 This is a cute necklace – I’m pretty much obsessed with moon everything these days. Looking forward to wearing this from time to time.
HEM Anti-Stress incense, $3 – Sapphire Soul is so spot on when curating these lovely themed boxes. I love how they typically include incense to match the vibe of each box, and they seem to be partial to HEM, which appears to be the real deal. This incense is made in India, and it smells quite lovely and authentic – not artificial or fragrance-y.
The info card that was included this month said there was a Soulscroll, affirmation card, and tea, but I don’t think I received those little extras. I did get hooked up with a replacement of April’s Herkimer diamond-infused Birthday Blend (perfume, aromatherapy mist) that I accidentally broke last month (#uberklutz!). SO sweet of Allison (Sapphire Soul HGIC Head Goddess in Charge) to send that over! It smells sooooo good!! If I had to assign happiness a scent, it would most definitely be this Birthday Blend. Allison, if you’re reading this, you gotta get this oil blend to go mainstream (Whole Foods, Target) – everyone needs to try your happiness spray!
There’s the Herkimer diamond!
Overall impression: This month’s box introduced me to the fine details of smudging. I always thought you just burn some sage, and tada, your done. Smudging is like taking a spiritual shower, and it’s a great way to cleanse the energy in your home or office. Smudging done properly involves incense, candles, sage or smudge mist, smudge fan, crystals, and a sacred space. This month’s box has seriously inspired me to cleanse my surroundings so I can have a fresh start. Gonna smudge my home this weekend! This month’s SS box had $85+ worth of smudgy love – such an insane deal!
If these sorts of goodies are right up your alley and speak to you, hook yourself (or a loved one) up with a Sapphire Soul box and get your spiritual on! You can also order individual items from their online shop. xx
Note: Not all subscribers will receive the same items; however, all items are equally awesome.
