Self Care September

 

Did you know that September is Self Care Awareness Month?

Seven women entrepreneurs have collaborated to bring you a one of a kind specially curated gift box

with handmade goods that are all related to self-care.

 

 

Not only that, we are also holding a Self Care Awareness online event

on September 26th, Sunday at 1pm PDT / 4pm EST

where the collaborators will each briefly speak about the topic of self care.

 

 

Below is a picture example of the September box:

 

 

1. A Lemon Quartz crystal - from Marissa of Ninna Lu 

Filters out distractions, helps concentration, open up memory, enhances insight, influences hope, increases happiness, and enables higher thinking. Goes well with the third eye or crown chakra.

2. Moonlit Path Aromatherapy Roll-on - from Allison of The Witching Hour Collective 

New scent! Jasmine, Clary Sage and Honeysuckle - All 3 are moon, water, feminine associated and all 3 bring in love, psychic dreams, and clarity/sleep.

3. Mini Hamsa soap bar -  from Maritza of Body by Keke 

Inspired by the mesmerizing blue September birthstone, Sapphire. One of the oldest symbols in history, the Hamsa can be seen all over the world no matter what your belief systems are. While each system adopts its own interpretation, the Hamsa symbol can generally be believed to bring protection and good luck.

4. Two Self love tea light candles - from Carissa of SuburbanGoddessMN 

Aroma therapy is an amazing way to level up your self-care routine or as an addition if you are to multi-tasking. This mini version of SGMN's self-love candle is made with 100% soy wax. It is infused with dried lavender and rose buds as well as rose quartz crystals. Scented with lavender, orange, and ylang-ylang essential oils.

5. Natural gemstone jewelry (bracelet or earrings, your choice) - from Lisa of WOLFHOME 

Pink Coral Natural Gemstones bring the wearer success and good fortune. Known to turn negative energy into positive energy. Love yourself by clearing all that negativity around you and letting in the good energies.

6. Self-care Ritual Kit - from Freya of Chasing Happy Mondays

Our intention is to help you develop your own self-care routine... whether you decide on a morning or evening ritual, or take all of the weekend! This kit includes loose tea bags of a relaxing blend of hibiscus, lavender and chamomile. While you're sipping your tea, use the enclosed mini self-care journal to write down your affirmations and intentions.  This kit also gives you access to a printable download of positive affirmations that you can use for your self-care practice. 

7. A Short Meditative Session - from Nafsheen Luhar

During this virtual Zoom event, our special guest Nafsheen Luhar is going to lead us for a few minutes of guided meditation. It's going to be an event you won't want to miss and you'll want to invite your friends too!

n i n n a l u ~ i n s p i r e d: About Private Events

 

:: For Private Events & How It Works ::

 

~ Special Offer ~

HOST: The host with a combined minimum of four guests will receive a FREE wreath kit of any size or shape.

 

~ Referral Program ~ 

A fellow wreath sister who has hosted once before and refers other hosts will receive

100% commission on the value of a wreath kit. (Valued at $30)

 

Questions to ask yourself as a HOST:

1) Should I offer a virtual event or an in person event or both?

(Depending upon how you'd like to reach your guests,

virtual seems to be the easiest to keep in touch with distant friends and family.)

2) Should I decide on a customized wreath kit for all my guests OR have everyone do the same size and shape wreath?

3) What are your intentions for this event? Is it for team building, a celebration, or just to gather with a group to craft?

 

 

How It Works For An In Person Private Event:

A Facebook event will be created by Marissa and the host will be made a co-host so that he / she is able to invite.

All coordination towards the day of the make & take event will be posted within the Facebook event by Marissa.

For instance: Each individual's choice of crystal/s.

Marissa will then bring all the supplies and materials to the designated venue or location

on the actual date and time of the event.

It can be a residence, a private office, or a conference room.

All guests will need to do is bring the following:

a) Fabric scissors or cutter (in that case bring a cutting mat)

b) Ruler (for exact measurements)

c) Your beverage of choice.

A 1:1 customization chat will be needed to occur before the actual make and take event in order to customize each guest/s wreath kit. As pictured below:

 

A poll of time slots will be posted within the Facebook event and only one person per one time slot should be chosen.

Marissa will reach out on the date and time of your 1:1 customization chat to go over colors, fabrics, crystals,

and the size / shape of your wreath.

Be prepared to have an idea of your design.

A Photo Retrospective: Summer Beginnings

 

   As our summer 2021 slowly begins, I reminisced a bit from last year's Fourth of July here.   

(As I begin with a summer cocktail pic below.)

 

Cooking that sheet pan full of seafood boil last 4th of July was fun!

It's just funny and a bit sad, because a year has gone by, and what a difference of how much non-cooking I do these days!!! 

 

 

This year 4th of July is simply at home. 

We may just grill some hotdogs and call it a day!

 

 

Ninna Lu does have a couple of events in the books this month & August!

 

July 17th, Saturday from 11am to 2pm

 

July 17th, Saturday at 5pm to 9pm

 

July 28th, Wednesday from 6pm to 7pm

Self Love By Knowing Your Worth

   

   It is so easy to feel low and unworthy for so many reasons. But honing in to a personal experience of mine. As a bereaved mother, I felt this so strongly about myself because of the obvious physical lack of presence of our daughter Trinity in both my and my husband's life. I make sure to call myself a bereaved mother, for my own personal reasons and because I gave birth. I say, you don't have to have the physical presence because her spirit is within me as I carried her for six months. 

I'd like to personally invite you to our virtual summer solstice event in where I speak about my struggle and my story in how I turned my setback into an ultimate comeback. In celebration of the summer solstice, I'd like to explain how a struggle became a bittersweet journey to knowing my worth as a Mother. 

 

   

   

   Without the Women Of The World Network I don't know where my confidence as a woman would end up. I joined the Sacramento Chapter pre-pandemic and have been a learning member ever since. The network provides engaging topics to boost your business, professional or personal development. As I felt isolated even before the pandemic, the network gave me not only a social learning outlet, but I have met the most amazing, high-achieving women throughout the year since becoming a member. 

Below are tomorrow's line up of hosts and speakers along with a short bio.

Here is the link to REGISTER to save your spot!
