In the neverending quest for new ways to practice self-care, people often feel like they’re being bombarded with products and suggestions for self improvement. Many of these products are expensive and seem like they’re mostly just hype.  Instead of investing in things that may or may not work, especially now when we’re all trying to be as smart with our money as possible, it makes sense to stick with products that have proven benefits.  We believe in self love and good vibes only, which is why we only choose to make products that we personally use and believe in, like...

After the whirlwind of energy from the Gemini season, it’s now time for Cancer season to take rein and help you look inwards to find what ignites your dreams, visions, and passions.

The hot-and-fiery and assertive Aries season has come to an end, with Taurus season ready to take charge and set a new pace for us.

Because of longer, sunnier days, the earth has the power to instill a sense of tranquility and brightness in our lives. To make the most of that joy, light up Home of Chiji’s Abundance Crystal...

The moon is the closest astronomical body to us and thus has a powerful influence in our physical and spiritual lives. Its gravitational pull affects the tides of the earth’s ocean and seas, and thus we can only assume we, too, are caught in its grasp. As the moon waxes and wanes, the tides shift, as do our moods and aspirations. The phases of the moon carry different waves of energy, and when you understand how each phase can affect your life, you can begin to harness its energy and use it to your benefit. Home of Chiji recommends using...

From ancient Babylonian times, people looked towards the sky, the stars, and the earth for spiritual guidance and healing. At the time, all we knew was that our roots were grounded in nature and that our souls moved with the stars. Though not everyone was in tune with their spirituality long ago, today’s pop culture has brought astrology, meditation, crystal healing, and other metaphysical practices into the mainstream. Many of us, now, look to our zodiac signs to measure compatibility, massage essential oils into our pain points, or collect crystals to change the flow of energy in our home. When...
