What happened to WitchCraftingWA? Why I closed my Etsy store

A while back I wrote a blog post about my Etsy store, WitchCraftingWA. I was so excited to share that part of my life with a new audience after focusing on it for so long. However, some things changed and I made the decision to close my Etsy store account. Why? Well, the biggest reason is that Etsy wasn’t financially beneficial for me. I’ve never sold much, but my prices were always pretty low,…

Burning down: My thoughts on “Bridgerton” season 2

“Bridgerton” was one of the most sensual, delicious new shows to hit Netflix during quarantine 2020, and I keep hopping on the bandwagon a little bit late. I think it’s an engaging show, but it is definitely not a period drama as it pretends to be. I recently finished the new season and I have some thoughts. Of course I had to rewatch season 1 first, and by season 2 I was completely fed up with…

Composting for Dummies: How and what we compost in our garden

I’ve written before on how I try to be eco-conscious with my decisions and the kind of impact I want to have on the environment. Part of that has to do with how I think about consumption and waste, and how I try to limit how much plastic I use/bring into my life. So when we moved into the tiny house, one of the things I wanted to try that I couldn’t previously in our apartment was composting. We…

Third Eye Open: Reviewing the April 2022 Goddess Provisions Subscription Box

Third Eye Open Box PC: Kendall Hurley Disclaimer: This post is not sponsored by Goddess Provisions and everything was purchased by me. I’m a fan of subscription boxes, much to the chagrin of my husband. However, the way I see it, by putting aside a set amount of money each month to spend on myself, I end up saving money. I love knowing that I’m “treating myself,” and supporting a small,…

Let’s Make Some Split Pea Soup – P.S. I Hate Soup

Let’s cut to the chase: I don’t think soup is a meal, I think it is a hot condiment that is only good for dipping bread into, and only when necessary. Soup to me a dish I make when I have to use up stuff in my fridge or I have to make a lot of food for people. It’s a good staple food to know how to make, because it is so versatile, but I am extremely picky about eating it. Kendall, why are you…

The Biblio Files: February Book Report

I was not quite as prolific with my reading this past month, but I did expand from the series I spoke about in my January book wrap-up. Reading, as you may know by now, is by far my favorite medium to consume material. I didn’t read a lot of 5 star novels, but it was a good distraction. I would call these books solidly average.

My top 8 favorite crystals

For the first installment of my spirituality series, I want to begin lightly with my experience using crystals. Now, I don’t believe stones have special powers, but I do think they can be representative of an energy or intention you are working on. Plus, they sparkle. You might think that using crystals is a bunch of BS, but please remember that everyone’s spirituality is different, and what…

Poetry, Birds, and the Wild: My Favorite Poem

“Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul And sings the tune without the words And never stops at all.” Emily Dickinson, 1861 I first read this poem when I was 11 or 10 years old, and it has stuck with me throughout the years. I think the reason that is resonates with me so much is because I have struggled with mental health for so long. The poem has always been a reminder…

New Series: My Spirituality Journey

Traditionally, spirituality refers to a process of re-formation of the personality but there is no precise definition of spirituality. I’ve developed a new appreciation for spirituality during the last two years. I’ve had time to explore my connection with my values, and created an…

Lessons From The Pandemic: How do I celebrate my loved ones when we aren’t together?

It was recently my husband’s birthday and I couldn’t be home with him. Instead, I had to find ways to show my love for him on his day while we were apart. Can we all agree that this pandemic has forced us all to get creative with how we do things? I know it has for me. If there is a silver lining at all to the past two years, it’s that a global epidemic has sparked passion and creative into…
