GREEN IS THE NEW PINK! 

At Style Rituals we do our best to provide sustainable sparkle & work with companies that radiate the same vibes. We observe the basic Shamanic principle of honoring the people we work with & the land that we live on while supporting minority owned businesses, small businesses, buying local & companies that are also operating with the greater good in mind.

THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER IN THE CRYSTAL CAVE

- We reduce our carbon footprint by carpooling to all #crystalrx events.

-The Style Rituals office aka 'The Crystal Cave' was intentionally situated with a surrounding walkable community of a grocery store, coffeeshop & restaurants for Colleen's clients convenience before or after a session.  One thing she has always kept from her NYC living was to hoof' it whenever possible so she walks to work everyday in LA.  What a great time to clear your mind & set daily intentions! 

-We buy in bulk & reuse containers in accordance with health codes whenever possible.

-We provide guests with crystal-infused alkaline water on-tap in the Gem Water Lover Grande Dispenser & Vial System plus each mystical refreshment is served in Miss Havisham's porcelain tea cups.  Both businesses are LA-based, female owned & are reusable.

-We recycle plastic, paper & glass...duh! seriously! hello! obvi! What is this 1990?

CONSCIOUS E-COMMERCE

-When we are packing up crystals & tarot cards following a clients INTUITIVE CRYSTAL READING or for a #crystalrx we want your magic rocks to go to their new homes in the safest & greenest way possible. We work with the below companies to make sure we deliver your sparkle in a climate friendly way. 

-The Style Rituals 'Burn Box' can go back to the earth.  Don't believe us? We literally created it as an offering 'container' when doing energy rituals & working with the elements of fire or earth. (Don't worry instructions are printed on the inside surface). Packola produces boxes using papers that are sustainably sourced and inks that are environment-friendly; everything they offer is recyclable. They produce all their packages in the US, which means shorter transportation and smaller carbon footprint. They also started a pilot program to sponsor planting one tree for every $100 of sales. That translates to tens of thousands of trees per year.

-We get more cushion for the pushin with 'peace of mind' packaging paper! To cradle our crystals we buy GreenWrap from USA-based ECO-ENCLOSE who utilize the latest in green technologies to offer 100% recycled packaging paper that offers similar cushioning and padded protection as bubble wrap but is naturally biodegradable, compostable, SFI-certified, and fully recyclable.

- Our eco friendly SR stickers are made by No Issue & are compostable, recyclable & reusable so that the unboxing experience of a Style Rituals Mystical Care Package is extra magical by not creating excessive waste.

-Our 'Style Your Energy' mailing tape from Sticker Mule not only comes with a reminder to see the beauty in all experiences we encounter, but is made from kraft paper with water activated gum backing that is biodegradable, repulpable and can be recycled. 

-Our Style Rituals signature pink 'MEDICINE BAG' is meant to be kept for your stones & other precious talismans. We proudly partner with family-owned & US-based business Signature Jewelry Packaging. They've been making jewelry pouches in the luxury market since 1945 for fashion & accessory brands worldwide.  They really know how to encircle your sparkle!

-We have been turning to the time-honored tradition of working with sacred herbs since man first found the fire to 'lite-up'. The smoke was used to honor deities, to protect, invoke a specific energy, cleanse animals & humans, deepen meditation, preserve food, fumigation, respiratory issues, calm nerves, postpartum care, to feel grounded, ceremonial work, ritual practices & to connect with the divine forces of the universe.  To help address the issue of overusing & misusing popularized 'medicine plants' like sage & palo santo we offer 16 different varieties of 'herbal energy shifters' from modalities from around the world that can enhance your SACRED SMOKE PRACTICE.   

-And don't forget the sparkle! There is much discussion on the mining of crystals & currently there are no industry regulations for a crystal to have a 'paper trail' from mining to consumer. On average a stone will pass through 5-7 channels of people between the earth & your ring finger. We do our best to know our mines, wholesale vendors & stores that we acquire stones from & that they also uphold the same mentality when sharing shiny gems with the world. If you want to learn more from one of my mentors, Brian Cook, who is a geologist & the foremost expert on ethical gem mining then please read on to learn about his great work in Brazil with the Bahia Initiative. Brian sits on an advisory board with companies like Harry Winston, Cartier, Chanel & Bvlgari providing counsel on how to approach issues like mine safety, sweatshop labor, consumer satisfaction & certificates of origin to ensure transparency.
