Please read thoroughly before entering!

Hello lovely Tumblr folk! It’s that time again- I have a giveaway for you all. But this time our giveaway is far grander and more magical than any we've had before! We've fallen on some tough times lately, and we could use all the support we can get right now. I'm hoping that throwing this big bundle of love out into the universe will bring back some good things to us 💜😘

We have both an online store and a physical location that could use your support!

My business is just a small, family run establishment that I started here on tumblr in 2013. I've been lucky enough to grow to the point where my husband and I opened a brick and mortar store and I've been able to employ my mother and sister as well! I've been supporting my mom and younger siblings since 2016 💜 I've always put compassion and ethics above all else in my business!

What the winner receives:

This absolutely massive top quality amethyst cluster display piece from Uruguay. It weighs OVER 20 LBS and sits on a custom made metal stand. It measures about 15" tall (over 1 foot!)

This piece has a retail value of about $1,300 - this is by far the most valuable giveaway we've ever done!

These are just some tips I’ve come up with and learned with the help of my therapist/nutritionist :) I know everyone has different levels of functioning/energy, but hopefully some of these points can help.

• Vitamins are your friend. If you take other medication, put them in the same spot. I put my vitamin in my pill sorter with my meds. (NOTE: Check with your pharmacist that your multivitamin does not interact with any of your other prescriptions!)

• Don’t feel bad about using processed food to help you. Microwaveable frozen veggies, minute brown rice, instant oats. When you don’t have the energy to cook, these things will help you put together a balanced meal.

• MAKE FOOD NEUTRAL. This is a hard one, especially if you have eating disorder behaviors. Try your best not to label any foods as “good” or “bad”. You are allowed to eat a healthy meal AND have some cake in moderation. Your whole day isn’t ruined because you had some junk food.

• Prepare ahead. I don’t usually have the energy to make a huge intricate meal, but it’s pretty easy to put together some overnight oats, buy travel sized hummus/guacamole, or eat some pre-made trail mix. If you eat meat you can buy pre-cooked chicken breast too.

• OMEGA FATTY ACIDS. Please. Do not forget about these. Omega fatty acids aid in brain functioning. If you deal with dissociation/brain fog, make sure you eat enough foods with omegas, such as fish, nuts, and eggs. If you are vegan PLEASE take an omega supplement.

• Start slow. Start out with one healthy meal a week if you have to (I had to). Work up to one healthy meal a day, then two, then three. Allow yourself to eat any snacks you crave in moderation. (I consider a “healthy meal” to be one with 1/2 a plate of veggies/fruit, 1/4 protein, and 1/4 whole grains, but you can come up with your own definition :) )
