Get In Loser, We’re Going Crystal Shopping!
Have you been wanting to get into crystals but haven’t quite started buying them yet? Don’t worry, I went shopping so that you don’t have to. I first learned about healing crystals when my little sister bought a “Zodiac Crystal Kit.” I was immediately fascinated but never really pursued my interest. That was until I discovered a local crystal store that was recommended by a friend.
As soon as I stepped into the shop, I felt great energy from the place. I knew that I wanted to shop there. To add, the store owner gave off very positive vibes and was extremely helpful in the buying process. If you ever find yourself on Long Island, go to Breathe Gifts in Bayshore Village.
A piece of advice that my sister gave me when it comes to crystal shopping is to let the stone choose you- let it call out to you. I think a few too many called out to me, but that could also just be a result of my shopping addiction.
Here is everything I got while crystal shopping:
