Tonight the moon will appear half-full as it reaches its last quarter, the Waning Gibbous Moon. The Waning Moon is the first phase after the Full Moon occurs and lasts roughly 7 days with the Moon’s illumination growing smaller each day. The waning moon is traditionally a good time to work on things you want to release such as illness, negative people or situations and emotions you want to heal and release. It’s a time of taking care of yourself, acknowledging everything you’ve accomplished and worked on during this cycle. The waning moon reminds us that it’s necessary to slow down and make space for the new cycle. Are there any rituals you like to do on a Waning Moon?

★Having a good journal or notebook has always been a passion of mine since I was a teenager. If you were to ask my mother or grandmother, it was less of a passion and more of a problem. Any unique set of bounded paper that caught my eye was cause enough for me to have it. As an adult I’m much more selective with my notebooks and where they come from. Earlier this year I stumbled upon a woman who makes beautiful notebooks/journals and not only that, she teaches you how to make them yourself. If you want some inspiration to get you into writing, drawing or crafting things yourself, I encourage you to check out her Instagram or YouTube page “Peg and Awl” and If you have the means, please support her business. While you’re at it you should follow one of her tutorials and try and make a notebook yourself!

Dandelion crowns are such a nostalgic ware for so many folks! Remember to pick in later in the season once their pollen has already had its first picks for the bees!

Lavender is a herb that is widely known to help with nervousness, anxiety, stress, and sleeplessness. It’s also believed to help promote calmness and wellness. It doesn’t make you sleepy like taking a sleeping pill would, but what it does do is help take the edge off of sleeplessness. Here is an easy lavender mist recipe to help with sleep! ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ ⦁ Add 2 tablespoons witch hazel, 40 drops lavender oil and 2 teaspoons dried lavender flowers into a 4oz amber or cobalt spray bottle.Fill the rest of the bottle with distilled water and shake to mix all of the ingredients. Spray a couple sprays on your pillow or bed right before you are planning to go to sleep! ⦁
