Hey, I'm Lydia!

I like playing in the sun and dirt, growing things and taking care of plant babies. When I’m not doing that, I’m watching E! or the  RHWOanywhere and thinking about how to make french fries burn fat (I've never met a french fry I didn’t love). I earned my level 1 crunchy hippie mom badge birthing my little man Mitt unmedicated (ya know, how everyone around the world does...) But I guess the internet liked it cuz our little birth story went viral- go figure.  I'm on a mission to keep myself and my family well, naturally and love and honor our Earth. I'm married to Ben and we are a blending family in progress. I'm loving on my growing tribe of sisterhood from all around the world, join us and stay connected.

What’s The Deal With Crystals?

What’s The Deal With Crystals?

I bought my first Crystals cuz they were pretty. That should give you an idea of the level of intuitive guidance you're gonna get from me. I have a crystal addiction, I wear them all day errrday - but this is a beginner course, at best. I just love my pretty semi precious gem stones and I like to think they love me back.
