The theme of June's box is "Dream Time Ritual." That alone made me super excited to see what they'd come up with. Everything in the box was meant to help you with your night time ritual.
The first thing that I tried was Anima Mundi Herbals elixir and tea blend. It's kind of like sleepy time tea and that helps you recall your dreams. The elixir is very unique, I hadn't heard of using an elixir in tea until now. My boyfriend and I tried it together. We used David's tea bags to put the loose leaf tea in. We wanted it to be a positive and spiritual experience so we placed crystals around the tea and meditated before drinking it. He had a spiritually uplifting dream that night. I felt drowsy after drinking the tea and fell asleep almost right away, which never happens. I've had some interesting dreams since then but not sure how much of that is because of the tea. We are looking forward to trying it again.
I use the Eagle roll on (from May's box) to energize me during the day, so it's only fitting to use one to help you off to dream land. The Essence of Vali Sleep roll-on fragrance is very calming. I've been dabbing a bit on my wrists before bed. The moment I smell it, I start to relax.
Bedrock and Bloom's Smart Ash is an all natural teeth detoxifier and whitener using the power of charcoal. When they say "use with caution" they mean it! It gets VERY messy. Thankfully I read their warning and was able to avoid what would've been a tremendous disaster in my sink. I've used it several times and it really does whiten and deep clean your teeth. This product is definitely on my recommendations list.
The crystal of this month is a Spirit Quartz from Africa. Everyone's looks a little different. The one I received has a calming, gentle energy. It's very difficult to look at a Spirit Quartz and not get swept away by its breathtaking sparkle. I keep it by my bedside table with a few other crystals.
Last, but not least, The Ritual Store's Moon Dust Mask. I finally used it last night and was surprised. The ingredients are not only very good for your skin, but also, contain the powers of selenite and moonstone dust. The smell is quite interesting, couldn't figure out why it smelt like a V8 until I saw that there's carrot powder in it! My face has been very oily lately, I think due to using more SPF these days. This mask sucked it all out and feels so soft and supple now. Another recommendation worthy product.
Overall, I really like this Dream Time Ritual box. A lot of cool, out of the box concepts. Who would've thought I would brush my teeth with charcoal and love it? I love expanding my mind and learning new things. I'm still waiting for the July box, which is all about the Solar Plexus Chakra.
What is essential in your night time routine? What helps you drift off to dream land?
