It’s no secret Hailey Bieber is a big fan of the skincare brand BeautyStat. She even enlisted founder and cosmetic chemist Ron Robinson to help with her own brand, Rhode. We’re big fans too, which is why we have to tell you when there’s a secret BeautyStat sale at Skinstore. Bieber’s fave vitamin C serum isn’t the only thing on sale. She and Hyram both love the brand’s eye cream, too.

“I want to get into this BeautyStat Vitamin C Universal C Skin Refiner,” Bieber said in a recent video with Hyram. “It’s 20 percent vitamin C. This was done and made by this amazing chemist named Ron Robinson, who is incredible.” She goes on to hand Hyram the brand’s eye cream because she’s dying for him to try it. Both products hydrate and inhibit the overproduction of pigmentation to fade dark spots and brighten the complexion.

“This one is the Eye Perfector. The Eye Perfector has actually been the under-eye product I’ve been using for the last couple months,” Bieber continues. “I’m really, really obsessed with it.”

Pick it up, along with the other must-haves, for 25 percent off with code CHEERS. But just for the next 24 hours!

Gratitude and appreciation have undeniable power. Being grateful can shift how we see our lives and help us become happier and focus on what matters.

With or without crystals, practicing gratitude has numerous benefits and supports a positive outlook on life. However, crystals and gemstones can be useful tools for creating a habit of being grateful and expressing appreciation.

Besides crystals’ healing and nurturing energies, wearing a crystal pendant or bracelet always reminds me to bring my attention to the present moment and what I have right now, not fear what I do not have, and obsess over the bad things that might happen.

At least this works for me; having the stone near my body and being able to touch it acts as a sensorial reminder to bring my attention to the present, dissipating my fears and encouraging gratefulness.

There are more ways of practicing gratitude with crystals, and hopefully, you’ll find your own little ritual that works best for you.

The Benefits of Practicing Gratitude

It probably won’t surprise you to hear that gratefulness is proven to improve mental health and overall life quality. Gratitude is associated with mood improvement, better sleep, reduced stress levels, and better relationships. Some studies state that practicing gratitude can improve physical health by strengthening the immune system and decreasing disease risks and difficulties with chronic pain.

Practicing gratitude can help us regulate our feelings and bring more joy and peace of mind into our lives. It can help us focus on the good parts, such as a nice walk in the park, a kind word of encouragement someone told us, and how all of our life experiences helped us become who we are today.

But, of course, practicing gratitude is not for all people and not for all life situations (you won’t encourage someone in an abusive relationship to be grateful, right?), and some people need it in different doses. It might also not be so effective to write a gratitude journal when you don’t authentically feel grateful; it will end up feeling forced and not improve your mood.

Using crystals as tools for your gratitude practice might also not be for everyone. But if their healing vibes bring you a plus of calmness and support, I highly recommend trying out the following gratitude exercises.

Simple Ways of Using Crystals in Practicing Gratitude

There are some simple ways of using crystals and gemstones to create a habit of practicing gratitude, and while not all might work for you, I hope that my suggestions will be a starting point for coming up with your own gratitude crystal routine.

As I mentioned at the beginning of this article, a crystal can act as a reminder to reflect on the things that you are grateful for. Keeping a calming stone near my body or working space, such as an amethyst or rose quartz crystal, reminds me to touch it from time to time and think about 2-3 things that positively impacted me that day.

I can squeeze this simple and quick gratitude practice into my sometimes busy schedule when I can’t take 15-25 minutes to sit down and write in a gratitude journal.

Another way to use a crystal for practicing gratitude, in case you have more time, is to take a palm stone crystal (or any other preferred stone) in your hands and sit in a comfortable position. Then take time to think about 8-10 things that you feel grateful for. It can be anything, even if it’s small or silly, and it makes you feel a little embarrassed. Practicing gratitude will feel more natural the more you practice.

I personally practice the second crystal gratitude method before going to bed. It helps me sleep with a sense of serenity and calmness. But it can also be a cheerful and positive way of starting your day.

Lovely Crystals for Practicing Gratitude

My favorite two crystals for practicing gratitude are rose quartz and amethyst. Rose quartz has a gentle vibe that always touches my heart. It encourages me to not only see the world in a better light but also appreciate myself more and be grateful for who I am. I recommend rose quartz for those struggling with self-image, self-esteem, and being grateful for the wonderful being that you are.

Then amethyst is a lovely crystal for gratitude practice as it calms the agitation of the mind. At least for me, it works by slowing down my inner rumination and easing anxiety. That makes it easier to focus on the things that make me happy and grateful instead of overthinking potential negative outcomes.

Other crystals I recommend for a gratitude practice are:

• Clear quartz – with powerful cleansing energies that ward off negative vibes and dispel energy blockages.
• Citrine – a happy yellow stone enhancing positivity and bringing joy and comforting energy.
• Labradorite –brings hope in difficult times, clarity of mind, optimism, and spiritual awareness.

Anyone hanging out in the hair growth sector of TikTok is likely up to date on all the benefits of applying rosemary oil to the scalp; it can soothe inflammation while promoting fresh growth on receding hairlines and balding patches. Best of all, you only need pure rosemary oil to see these results, leaving out the need for any harsh chemicals or ingredients touching your scalp skin.

There are plenty of ways to secure a bottle of rosemary oil—including at your local pharmacy or Whole Foods—but if you’re going to start using something on the reg, it might as well come vetted by others. That’s the case with SVA Organics Rosemary Oil on Amazon; it has thousands of reviews from shoppers who say it really does work as intended.

“In as little as 5 weeks, I started seeing baby hairs and was amazed at seeing my after pic at 7 weeks,” wrote one 55-year-old shopper. “My hair, although still thin, was looking a lot fuller…I’m just blown away and so excited that a natural product is so effective and would highly recommend!”

According to the Cleveland Clinic, “researchers found rosemary oil to be as effective at encouraging hair regrowth as minoxidil, a medication better known as Rogaine.” This is huge news for those that were overspending on hair growth treatments, because the SVA Organics option retails for just $10. Additionally, since rosemary oil is a less harsh substance compared to minoxidil, those with sensitive scalps may notice less sensitivity and itchiness.

That said, since rosemary oil is still very potent, you’ll want to dilute it with a carrier oil or water before applying to your scalp. Some folks have found putting their chosen blend into a spray bottle (Amazon carries this mist bottle for hair styling) and spritzing it onto the scalp regularly is the easiest form of application.

Considering reviewers say this oil in particular has a “light, non greasy texture that absorbs into the hair, leaving it soft and shiny,” you won’t want to waste anymore time without it. While some have remarked on its pungent scent, the pros truly outweigh the cons: “The oil has also helped to reduce frizz and prevent split ends, which is a big plus for me. I appreciate that the oil is 100% rosemary,” wrote another fan.

If you have acne-prone skin, chances are you’ve seen a blackhead (or several) pop up before. A result of clogged hair follicles, dead skin cells and excess oil, the pesky concern is a mild form of acne that can appear almost anywhere across the body—yes, even areas you least expect it. 

With summer on the horizon, grabbing a face and body mask that tackles blackheads, pigmentation and acne across the chest, arms and legs may be a smart (and confidence-boosting) move. Luckily, fellow shoppers already found the best formula that’s capable of helping these concerns within just a few uses: the Bodyblendz Pink Clay Mask.

The all-over clay mask is truly a multipurpose treatment; it minimizes discoloration, scarring, dullness and skin texture at the same time. It clears out congested pores, soothes inflammation and irritation and even lifts and firms skin that’s lost elasticity from aging or sun damage.

Its blend of ingredients were chosen for a reason. Australian Clay sucks out dirt and oil from deep within the skin—it also is one of the more gentle skin clays out there (meaning it won’t dry out the skin) since it has a low pH and several essential minerals. It’s joined by papaya extract which softly exfoliates for a more even-toned complexion while smoothing out fine lines, lactic acid and witch hazel extract, which help with photoaging and oil production, alongside hydrating shea butter, macadamia oil and vitamin E.

Reviewers have found it to be the “best mask ever” for effectively clearing out pores, reducing body acne and getting rid of stubborn blackheads. One wrote that they have “no regrets” on purchasing the mask after seeing it leave their skin smoother and brighter with small, red bumps less visible. Another person was equally impressed after the mask left their pores noticeably smaller after the first use.

“What I love about this mask is that truly does feel like white heads were cleaned out your pores,” shared a third. “After removing the mask, you will feel your skin so smooth and soft. I noticed a difference in the appearance of my pores, especially on my cheeks. Thumbs up!”

Another wrote, “My skin is super sensitive. Didn’t develop a face rash with this mask, which normally happens for me when I use other skin products. I noticed reduction in my skin pore size and smoothens my skin. I will highly recommend this!”

Bodyblendz carries several other targeted treatments that will set you on the right path to achieving confident summer skin, including its Booty-specific Clay Mask and Anti-Cellulite lotion.
