Welcome to our How To Style 101 guide featuring hoops and necklaces from our current collections. A space where we will share images of our YCL Women styling their pieces, as well as tips on why they work.

Fab's Pick: Citrine

A beautiful stone for manifesting small goals and intentions, or your wildest dreams.

Rach's pick: Clear Quartz

For me I would have to say I love Clear Quartz as it’s considered a “master healer.” It’s said to amplify energy by absorbing, storing, releasing and regulating it. It’s also said to aid concentration and memory which as you know I pride myself on. Physically clear crystals are claimed to help stimulate the immune system and balance out your entire body which is good for me since I have an auto-immune disease.

 

How to use:

Hold a clear quartz during times of emotional stress or energy imbalance.

 

Rach's Tip:

This stone is often paired with others like rose quartz to aid and enhance their abilities.

Char's Pick: Amazonite

The stone of Courage and the stone of Truth, "Amazonite empowers one to search the self and discover one’s own truths and integrity, and to move beyond fear of judgment or confrontation with others to live in alignment with those beliefs and values.”

 

How to use:

Raise both of my legs vertically up the wall and let my blood rush to my brain, great for draining the lymphatic system (boosting circulation and immunity). Then I place my Amazonite crystal on my lower stomach letting it connect to my gut. This helps find my centre and uncover all those gut feelings that are within us all.

 

Char's Tip:

Place amazonite stones on the throat and heart chakra whilst lying flat.

Em's Pick: Rose Quartz

Rose Quartz is a beautiful stone known as the "Heart Stone". It carries a soft feminine energy of compassion and peace, healing, nourishment and comfort. It dissolves emotional wounds, fears and resentments allowing capacity to give and receive love from others. It is also known to inspired the love of beauty in oneself, others and nature. 

How to use:

I love to hold my Rose Quartz tumble stone in my hand during my meditation practice and also place one on my bedside table.

 

Em's Tip:

Place your rose quartz near the bed, or under the heart (underneath the mattress) to improve heal and open the heart.

Fabienne's Layers

I recently spent 10 days exploring Ubud and Seminyak in Bali. It is such a beautiful island with so many things to do and see so I thought I would share my tips for anyone thinking of travelling there for the first time or exploring new places for those that have already been. This includes my favourite things to do in Bali, yoga hot spots, where to eat and where to go for the best cocktails and nightlife (each destination includes a clickable link that takes you directly to their website).
