Accessories for the Soul




There is one thing that I know for sure has always been  life-long love...stones and crystals.  Ever since I was a kid I can remember visiting my aunt at Liberty Science Center and begging my Grandmother for $5.00 so I could buy a new "rock".  There was even this guy in my town who made a living on a converted school bus visiting schools having kids "dig"(more like sift through shallow trays!) through sand to unearth their own minerals.  I lived for these types of things(weird kid, I know!).

As an adult, not much has changed; I mean, my palette has become a bit more refined, switching out pyrite for 14K, and tiger's eye for little Dior birds that sing.  Yet, I still retained my love for raw, uncut, unpolished quartz crystal.  My birthstone is Amethyst, and it definitely holds a special place in my heart, so when I came across this particular necklace, it peeked my interest.



I purchased this from the Black Owned company Ancient Aura Jewelry.  When I tell you it was the stones that attracted me, but the variety that kept me, I tell you NO lie!  Let me not get ahead of myself, lets discuss my piece...The particular necklace I purchased costs $19.99 and also comes in a Pink Ice and Clear Quartz.  The chain is gold plated, as specified in the product description, and is guaranteed not to fade, a claim that has certainly rang true.  I would, however, suggest if you purchase the largest of the stones(yes, you have an option of stone size!), that you swap out the chin for something with slightly more weight to it, as the chain is a little on the thin side.

The company offers a wide range of diverse African inspired pieces, including things that specifically speak to African American Culture.  I am overall impressed and cannot wait to see where the brand goes next.  I would love to see something set in Actual Gold; perhaps the Black Unicorn...(Hint Hint!)  Whatever happens next, I'm here for it and I'll get to say I knew them when and put the world on game before they blew. ~The Queen~

Crystals and Couture

  Those just might be my 2 favorite C words known to man!  With the start of a new year, it's only right I acquire a little bit of both!  I've had my eyes peeled for the past few weeks for all of the best sales; I had my heart set on a new piece of Rainbow Tourmaline and Rose Quartz(see below for crystal properties and uses if you aren't familiar!).  At the same time, I have also been dreaming of some new bags; crossbodys and a satchel, to be specific; a little on the fancy side though.  All of my work was not in vain because guess what?!  Marshall's is now carrying Badgley Mischka handbags and wallets-mike drop...but it gets even BETTER-not one item is priced over $29.99!!  Wait, What?!  Yes Please!!  Amazon has 1 lb of Raw Rainbow Tourmaline AND Rose Quartz for under $15.00.  I also came across a National Geographic Rock Polisher for $39.99!!  Your girl is absolutely THRILLED!!  What crystals do you have your eye on?!  Have you guys come up on any superstar purse deal

You Only Owe YOURSELF

I had an epiphany the other day... What if we put all the energy we expel on others that is foolishly wasted BACK into ourselves, our life dreams, and into creating the world we CHOOSE to live in??!! Before we all become hopelessly selfish and self-involved, re-read, and take in the thought in its ENTIRETY!!!  I am talking SPECIFICALLY in instances where your positive energy, time, and effort are not being reciprocated. There are so many situations we find ourselves in to which we develop an animosity of sorts towards those we are actively trying to help when we don’t feel that same energy being returned to us in one form or another.  Yet, we are taking umbridge with the wrong individual.  The person we should be focusing those feelings is right there waiting on the other side of the mirror.  That is who entangled you and your resources to an individual making moves to which your higher self is not in agreement.  This is who we should look to for explanation and a game

I'm Doing THIS, for ME...

  QueenKhira.com has always been a place for you to come for self-discovery.  It's meant to encourage you, push your boundaries, and provide much-needed respite from the programming reality offers.  I wanted to infuse this idea into your everyday lives, to make it organically apart of your daily design.  With that, Our Sitewide theme was born, I'm Doing THIS, for ME...  I still try not to be amazed at the perfection of a synchronistic moment, it's truly a remarkable feeling.  To discover your desired state of being, and to be able to return to it, whenever you desire, is REAL magic.  Ladies and Gentleman, it's time to embrace it as the new norm.  It's time to relax into the natural ebb and flow of life, relinquishing to control we never truly had...and why the Hell not?!  What's the alternative, badgering myself into an anxiety-filled submission, heavy with self-pity and disappointment?!  Yea, No.   In all things, there is Cosmic Balance.  My desired state of be
