I have a candle and wax melt addict. My current favourite wax melt shop is Moonlight Melts. But now alongside the amazing scents Moonlight Melts have a new range of gemstone keyrings!
There are 3 gemstones to choose from at the moment with a few more coming soon. These are high quality gems and each keyring arrives in a small grey drawstring bag, which I wasn’t expecting and adds a touch of class.
I chose Howlite White which is described as being good for promoting calmness, self-esteem and spirituality.
“Howlite is a lovely stone to use when needing to reduce anxiety, tensions and stress. It can be used to facilitate awareness, encourage emotional expression and assist in the elimination of pain, stress and rage.”
Now, before I go any further I want to make it absolutely clear I don’t believe that gemstones or crystals have any kind of health benefits. However I do believe in the power of having a totem. Much like Leonardo DiCaprio’s character in Inception uses a totem (a small spinning top) or a religious person using a rosary, there is something about a physical representation that can soothe us.
I decided that instead of adding this beautiful keyring to my keys, I’d use it for the dog walk. I use walking my dog in the woods to get exercise and to clear my mind. But due to ongoing health problems even something as seemingly simple as walking can be incredibly painful.
I have a front door key on a lanyard that I wear around my neck when I’m out walking the dog. (Shout out to
Jägermeister!)
When I’m having a low mood day or the pain in my back and neck is high but I still want to carry on with the walk…I hold the keyring in my hand for a few steps and I repeat a couple of healthy affirmations.
Nothing too wafty mind you, just positive reinforcement.
⭐ I am getting stronger
⭐ I am feeling calmer
⭐ Perfection is not the goal
I love this keyring. It’s surprisingly robust and I like the plain silver effect. It may be all in the mind but I really like being able to carry it around with me and it’s there if I need a little more than words. Plus they’re stylish and that never hurt anybody!
I like to support small businesses and if you’re looking to support small businesses this Christmas I cannot recommend Moonlight Melts enough. Always high quality, always giving back to regular customers and a super friendly company!
I look forward to seeing what they bring out next!
