Rose Quartz Yoni Egg Experience

Here is my experience after using my Rose Quartz Yoni Egg. This is my first yoni egg and I am happy I get to be introduced to this tool to help me in my journey -- to heal myself from the inside out. It is a medium undrilled egg which definitely makes me vulnerable and trust the process completely. It was definitely the day my yoni (vagina) was ready to receive the egg. I could feel it. It was sensually waiting. I wasn't scared. I trust that this will be an experience that I will not forget. I let go of control and breathe and surrender what this stone has in store for me.

Consciously using a Yoni Egg can be effective tool both to chaining pattern of the cellular memory and assisting in regaining a healthy balance in the sensual tissues. Our traumas hold within them a doorway into our most potent gifts, as very often we have blockages in the areas that we are most powerful. -Mystical Femininity

I am equipped with all the facts I needed to know. This wasn't something I had to get it done as soon as possible; this is not something goal-oriented. It is about taking my time and enjoy every moment with my yoni egg. If the time is right, I'll just know.

The day I had the yoni egg in my hands, I immediately started to bond with it: placed it under my pillow inside a pouch before I sleep; charge it under the sun and under the full moon; meditate with it and feel it. Intuitively, I just knew what my yoni egg wanted.

Few days ago, I steamed my yoni with red roses as a way to prepare my yoni to receive the stone. I knew I had to get to cleanse and nourish my yoni before the sacred ritual. (The yoni steam is delicious treat to my yoni!)

When it was time, I let myself relax and breathe deeply. I made sure I was comfortable. I spritzed some perfume all over the room and lighted a vanilla scented candle. I let it submerged in a bowl of boiled water (not boiling hot, but hot enough that I can safely stick my finger in so I know it is safe for my yoni egg) for 15 minutes before inserting. I whispered my intentions to my yoni egg. I let my body feel what it it feels good to me. I coated the yoni egg with coconut oil and gently inserted it inside of me. I was smiling as I welcome it.

Update: June 3, 2015

Here is my Rose Quartz Yoni Egg. It is so beautiful for my yoni!!!

What to do once the yoni egg is inside the vagina? Dance. Meditate. Journal my feelings. Acknowledge the negative emotions in the womb and just it let it be without judgement. Exercise the pelvic muscles. Love my body with the yoni egg inside. Feel the yoni egg inside the womb.

As soon as I inserted it, I hardly felt the yoni egg inside of me. I know it won't get lost inside my vagina. I did felt a slight movement of my pelvic muscles. I tried squeezing the yoni egg... but I couldn't feel it at all. For the first few hours I felt calm. I meditated. I was focused on my womb more now that my yoni egg is inside of me. I paid much attention to my energy rather than try and figure out everyone else's. It is draining to be with other people's space or energy especially if it isn't a positive one. I could feel that. But for now, this is all about me.

For the whole day, I started to feel like something sucked inside of me. Probably negative energies I had I kept for years. I also felt slightly hot and tired throughout the day. My eyes were a little watery. Still focusing on my womb space, I breathe and relaxed myself. Let go of control and surrender.

I tested it out while I was in one occasion. I asked someone with questions that I knew will upset me. (EDIT: I WAS ALREADY READY TO LET THIS PERSON GO EVEN BEFORE INSERTING MY EGG.) But it was quite the opposite: I felt compassion for the other person. I felt the love for me. I didn't focused too much on the other person if he/she liked me, but just let it go. Whatever it was he/she was feeling, I have no control over it but love, compassion and peace for myself. Just for me. THIS IS ALL ABOUT ME.

...and when I got home, after I used the bathroom, my yoni egg flopped out. Yup. It happens to every woman who uses the yoni egg. I don't want it yet to leave, but it did. Make sure the bathroom is always clean. :)

When I picked it up and cleansed it with mild soap and charge it energetically by burying it under the soil, smudge with sage or let it sit under the sun or full moon. I also noticed my yoni egg turned pale/white. I sent an email to their (OrganicBlood) customer service about it and here is their response:

The fact that the egg has transformed slightly in color doesn't represent tarnish of the stone's quality. Many women have reported noticing their quartz stones shifting in color perhaps as a sign of pulling certain negative energies out of them into the stone. Your stone may be continuously evolving just as you are. If you have not experience any negative side effects in your body, please use your best discretion when inserting.

If you are asking how long I should let my yoni egg be buried under the soil, it all depends on what I feel. If it's ready, I'd just feel it. And start over when the time is called for. There is no rush. I give it time.

I think every woman who is ready to take on this journey should use yoni eggs. It is a beautiful gift for any woman. There are lots of yoni eggs to choose from and the one that really draws you, is the yoni egg for you. This is a change from the inside out. Look inward and adore our femininity. I will continue using yoni eggs and add more if my body calls for it. I love listening to other women's journey when they used their yoni egg and watch them blossom from the inside.

Yoni Eggs are not advised for women who are: pregnant or think they are pregnant; are in their period; has IUD; vaginal infection (cure it first); the feel they have to be in control; or are in fear.

Important: Purchase quality yoni eggs, not fake ones.

Yoni Steam

I did it! I've been thinking about this for months, and I finally did it! Why nobody taught me this? I am in love with it! It was calming and very soothing for me and my yoni. (Yoni is sanskirt for vagina) I bought three red roses for myself yesterday on my way home. This guy asked me what the red roses are for. I didn't tell him. *smiles* This is definitely something for me.

Yoni Steaming is to steam the vagina with herb infused water to nourish, detox and cleanse. It's useful for a number of issues such as yeast infections, uterine fibroids, infertility, irregular to painful periods, and vaginal dryness. Pick the herbs that your yoni needs. The herbs have its different purpose for your yoni.

How does a Yoni Steam work? 

A yoni steam is done much like a facial or nasal steam, except that in this case, a woman allows the steam from a pot with boiled water and herbs to reach the outer lips of her vagina. The tissues of the vagina are exceptionally porous and absorbent, and the warmth of the steam works to soften and open them. 

When the herbs are placed in the hot water, their medicinal properties, including volatile oils are released and carried to the surface of your skin, and to the inside of the vagina, where they are absorbed into the bloodstream and into the uterus. The herbal steam increases circulation, thins mucus, and cleanses the entire reproductive system, allowing it to shed unnecessary membranes and build-up. The results are varied, and amazing. --elephantjournal.com 

I was thinking what other herbs I could use other than roses for my yoni steam. Then it hit me... my body only preferred red roses and nothing else. I like it that I do not need to follow anyone else's 'yoni steam recipe'. I used my intuition and just feel what my body needs.

Here are some herbs used traditionally in a yoni steam: Naturally Fertility

• Rose petals - Gentle and astringent to tissues of the genitals. A relaxing and uplifting herb.
• Rosemary - Increases circulation to the reproductive organs, aids in clearing out of old fluids, is also antiseptic and purifying.
• Lavender - One of the most relaxing herbs, calms the mind and body. Nourishing to the nervous system. Lavender is antiseptic to the vaginal tissues. It is also an antispasmodic, aiding in healthy uterine function.

How to Prepare a Yoni Steam:

1. Find a private space in your home where you can do your yoni steam. You don't want to be disturbed by anyone while you are at it. This is all about you and your yoni.

2. Boil a pot of water with your chosen herbs. Let it steep for few minutes. Place the pot under the open-seated stool, where the steam can pass through.

If you can't find one of these, you can make one of your own.

3. Check to see if the steam is warm, not hot. Do not sit down until the temperature is comfortable for you. The genitals are sensitive to heat.

4. Get yourself naked from the waist down and sit. Wrap yourself with a blanket down to the ground to contain the steam.

5. Wrap your upper body with another blanket to keep yourself warm.

6. Steam for about 20-30 minutes. Relax. You can read a book, meditate, listen to music or journal during your yoni steam.

7. Lie down in your bed for the night after your yoni steam. Protect your entire body from cold drafts, keep warm and avoid sudden temperature changes. After a treatment, drink a lot of water to flush out your system.

8. Keep the pot you used during your yoni steam separate from the rest of the pots. We want to keep everything hygienic. :)


Important:

A yoni steam is NOT advised for women who are: in their period, have vaginal infections, open wounds, any piercings, if you are pregnant or if you think you are pregnant. Do NOT use essential oils; use only dried or fresh herbs.


My Experience:

It was relaxing. I love that warmth rising to my yoni. It was a beautiful experience! Every woman should do this because it does feel good. It sensually awakens the senses of my yoni. It feels different afterwards, like, I am in touch of myself as a woman. It feels very intimate and sexy. This will definitely be part of my monthly routine.

I am happy I finally did this for my yoni. It makes me excited to try other other herbs, and get it mixed in one pot for my yoni. I would love to purchase online some blends all packed and ready for my yoni steam at home. Doesn't it sound delicious?

Fried Sweet Potatoes

Sweet Potatoes are one of my favourite snacks! I always make sure I buy a bag or two of these yummy sweet potatoes when I go to our local market. They are nutritious, healthy, good for our skin, affordable, and they have this certain sweetness on their own that I love. It's like eating candy, but much healthier. You can roast, bake, grill, steam or fry them -- depending on what you prefer -- but I like them fried. I am not talking about any regular cooking oil; I am talking about frying them in olive oil. Why? Because it makes a huge difference! It gives the sweet potatoes that beautiful orange color and gives that sweetness that I crave.

Sweet potatoes and olive oil are rich in benefits for our skin. Put these two together, and you'll make an easy healthy snack in no time! Your skin will love you for it.

All you need are:

• Sweet potatoes, cut them into fries or chips
• Olive Oil
• Salt and Pepper

Directions:

• Fry the sweet potatoes until they are a little crisp and golden brown. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste... or none at all, it is all up to your tastebuds. :)

Oh! I almost forgot! You can also add a dash of flax seeds, chia seeds or hemp seeds for added nutritional benefits. It won't alter the taste. Try them! Tell me what you think! I am craving for fried sweet potatoes now!!!

Venus and Mars: All-Natural Handmade Soap: So'ya Sach'a Wise Bran? (100% Vegan)

Interesting name of this soap! Here's how I read it: "So yeah. Such a wise bran(d)?" LOL!

So'ya Sach'a Wise Bran? (100% Vegan) 135g | Php295

Made with rich formulation of Sacha Inchi Vegan Oil, Soya Bean, Rice Oil and Rice Bran, this bar will instantly make you feel lathering your skin with lotion while bathing. Stimulates cell regeneration, fights and prevents free radical damage and aging skin, and enhance concentration of healthy glowing skin.

Venus and Mars' products are Philippine-made, natural, and the first skincare line in the country to infuse their products with emu oil.

I really love the floral packaging: simple yet eye-catching. The irregular cut of their (Venus and Mars Naturals) soaps give that nice touch as well.

This soap is made from their Sacha Inchi Oil, which I haven't tried it yet, but thankfully they created a soap out of it. I could get the same benefits of this oil while I am taking a bath. I bought this soap to give my body a lather of TLC. The smell is so delicious! It reminds me of a thick slice of fresh loaf of bread! The benefits of this soap immediately made me purchase this because it stimulates cell regeneration, fights and prevents free radical damage and aging skin, and enhance healthy glowing skin. Doesn't it make our skin feel protected from the pollution and UV rays after a long day? It makes my skin soft and supple after bath, but I never skip applying lotion to lock-in moisture.

The soap, however, doesn't have a written expiry date. :(

Purchase here.

Yoni Egg

I finally bought a yoni egg! It is my first yoni egg ever! I asked someone to hand carry it for me so I know it'll be safe. I'm in the getting-to-know phase with my yoni egg as of the moment. It is right beside me as we speak. :)

I didn't know what a yoni egg was until I listened to an hour long webinar last November 2014. The yoni egg has been around forever and women from all over the world are into it. (I think I have an idea why this wasn't introduced in our country) Months later, the idea stuck in my head, and I realised my body wanted a yoni egg. After a lot of research, I knew I want one for me.

Yoni means sacred temple in Sanskirt; also refers to a woman's vagina. It is a polished gem stone shaped as an egg. Yoni eggs dates back in ancient China as a secret practice used by women of the royal family. The yoni egg is inserted vaginally to strengthen the pelvic muscles and cleanse it energetically from negative emotions which women mostly keep in the womb. There are tons of yoni eggs available and the one suited for you depends what you are drawn to. If you are ready, feel what your body tells you to reach.

Benefits of the Yoni Egg Practice:

• Strengthens Pelvic Floor
• Awakening your passion, creative energy and libido
• Strengthening After Childbirth
• Vaginal Lubrication
• Tones Vaginal Muscles
• Spiritual Healing
• Assists with Uterine Prolapse
• Shrink Fibroids
• Assists with Weak Bladder
• Cyst Reduction
• Improves Vaginal Elasticity
• Strengthens the Muscles of Surrounding Organs
• Reduce Heavy Menstrual Bleeding
• Daily Womb Exercise

Rose Quartz | $40

(it was on sale when I bought it)

Out of all the yoni eggs, I instantly felt the Rose Quartz resonated with me while browsing at OrganicBlood.com. It is a medium sized egg and it is really beautiful and in pink. It also comes in a cute white pouch for your yoni egg. I couldn't take my eyes off of it. I knew I want it so much! It was also on SALE when I bought it. It was packed in a bubble wrap to it really safe. Keep on a look out for their discount codes! I know I am.

Rose Quartz Gemstone is great for:

• Calming
• Clarity
• Vitality
• Self-Love
• Peacefulness
• Emotional Balance
• Unconditional Love
• Harmonious Spirit
• Gentle Trauma Relief
• Spiritual Enlightenment
• Rejuvenating
• Great for All Chakras
• Great for the Heart Chakra
• Taurus & Libra Sun Sign
• Vibrational #7

I don't call them as my 'babies', but as an 'ELDER' because they've been on this Earth for millions of years and I am here to learn from them.

It may sound pornographic for some, but to me, I see it as a way to heal myself. I still have these negative emotions in my womb that I want to get rid of. There is nothing embarrassing about it. Women need to reclaim their sexuality after all the years of guilt and shaming. With yoni eggs, we develop a wonderful relationship with our body and embrace our femininity because it feels good to be a woman! It is time to give LOVE to our yoni.

Here are some websites where you can read more about the yoni egg. You can also check Youtube about it too.

Human Heart Nature Nourishing Toner

I really love Human Heart Nature's Hydrating Toner because it has Moringa (Malunggay) extract in it. Everyone knows how beneficial the moringa to our body! Read my review here! I've been using this toner for years and this will definitely be a must have for me. Unfortunately, I have this feeling I got to switch to another toner just to give my skin something new. Updating our skincare routine will keep our skin in its top performance; it'll help keep our skin cells work and not fluctuate in the long run.

I bought the Nourishing Toner suited for normal and sensitive skin. But you're probably wondering why use it when I have oily skin. Why shouldn't I use a toner suited for my skin's needs? Simple: it's just what I feel like to use at the moment. And it worked out perfectly over the last couple of weeks. I also did a review about their Nourishing Toner, read it here. I mentioned that the 'old' formula made my skin sting, but it was cleared by Human Heart Nature that it was actually a cooling sensation. I do not know how to answer that, but this toner, with its new packaging, which also means it is in NEW formula, will be gentle for everyone to use.

Nourishing Toner 200ml | Php184.75

Nurture it with goodness of tomato extract, from out Nourishing Face Toner. It's one of the most powerful antioxidants that soothes and helps repair skin leaving it unbelievably smooth, soft and healthy -- inside and out. It doesn't just help prevent skin damage caused by free radicals, it preps your skin for what should come next -- moisturising! The end result? Northing but fresh, soft and breathtakingly smooth skin!

Guess what? I LOVE THEIR NOURISHING TONER! :) It definitely didn't caused my skin to sting, breakouts or dryness. It is mild on the skin. The scent still has that bubblegum that I really look forward to. If you are familiar with Bazooka, that's what it smells like. My skin feels and looks amazing. They have definitely improved the formula while still keeping that bubblegum scent. (How do they do that?) It is natural; no harmful chemicals, no synthetic preservatives, and alcohol which are a big no-no's to sensitive skin. Do pair it with their Nourishing Facial Wash if you still can't get enough with tomatoes in your skincare regimen.

This is going to be my current favourite toner from this day forth. I am happy we have a nearest Human Heart Nature store in my area. It's easy to restock and chat about what's the latest. :)

Everyone's skin is different. What may work for someone, may not necessarily mean may work for you. Still wise to do patch skin test if you are allergic on certain ingredients.

Human Heart Nature offers awesome deals so keep on a lookout on that. Yes to discounts!

Check the expiry date before purchasing. Store below 35 degree Celsius and away from direct sunlight.

THE FACE SHOP - Flebote White Crystal Brightening Emulsion

The Korean skincare routine has made an impact to a lot of women (like ME!!!) because of their beautiful porcelain skin. It is no secret how many products they add on their face every night, and I admire their discipline and patience. It is all about layering products to give our skin plump and supple. To some, it may seem like forever to get it done, but once you are used to it, it is a must no matter what!

I finally got myself an emulsion from THE FACE SHOP. This is completely new to me. I haven't tried any emulsion since the day I got introduced to Korean skincare. For the most part, I buy products what I feel my skin needs. That's one of the best parts about shopping: hunting awesome products out there! I like to take my time and read the description, ask the sales person, make comparisons, and fall in love with the fragrances.

THE FACE SHOP - Flebote White Crystal Brightening Emulsion 130ml | Php1150

A prestige Age-delaying + Whitening Line that has been clinically proven for its effectiveness. The extraordinary ingredients from the nature of Korea (Korean White Pine) are further supported by the latest technology to be truly efficacious against pigmentation, signs of ageing and dullness.

Strengthens Moisture Control and Optimizes skin's defense. This high-potency brightening emulsion with Korean White Pine Extract, a natural skin brightener, and Nopal Extract softens and brightens rough skin tons that is damaged by UV rays and environmental pollution.

The term EMULSION is another word for MOISTURIZER or LOTION (for the face); The term SKIN SOFTENER as TONER, and ESSENCE as SERUM. :)) Woah! Mind blown! That is a good thing; layer and layer and layer of moisturing products. :D Emulsion is a slightly heavier cream just like a face lotion.

I was drawn to this product because it helps brighten the face, repairs skin from UV rays and environmental pollution, and of course, delay skin aging. (The sun between 10am-3pm is harsh to us!!!)

And from my experience? YES! It did brightened my skin and look plump after a month of use. I can't tell much about delay skin aging or anything because it is too early to tell... but, I am glad the products quickly sinks in my skin and help renew my skin every night as I sleep. We know UV rays are harmful to the skin; we need to apply sunblock during the day, and give our skin the TLC at night.

I like to layer my emulsion with another layer of moisturiser (any brand) and/or a sleeping pack. Again, it is all about locking moisture! That is a must!!! It doesn't feel greasy or heavy at all with that product on my face. Guess I am used to it. And just because I have oily skin, it will NOT stop me providing the moisture my skin needs.

Do not forget to apply creams at the back of your hands, neck and décolletage.
