Life has been pretty wild lately, am I right? All of these radical changes happened in these last 6 months . . .
WYLD #ONE :
I've been going by a new name (even though I won't ever get upset with Mary or M or M.E. or whatever), I'm going bty Maia now because it's a constant reminder of the illusion of our reality, how our sensory view of the world is so limited, so wholly unique to each person, we're all living our own realities, stars of our own plays. It helps me to accept the way things are, the impermanence of everything; I feel more able to live my life filled with grace through difficult conversations, changes, and extremely challenging times, and it reminds me to be ever so grateful for moments of joy and peace and connection.
<<Hindu meaning: ‘Maya’ refers to the illusions that distract us from seeing the spiritual truth of the cycle of life.>>
WYLD #TWO :
I was let go [from work] at the end of the summer and it sent me into a very stormy, kinda icky, absolutely maddening tailspin of self-inquiry. Why did this happen? Why do I feel so terrible? What's wrong with me? What am I supposed to do now? Clearly the universe is trying to tell me something.... what is it?
To my great fortune, this 6 month tailspin has been filled with so much love, friendships that have deepened, and beautiful new connections; and rather than call it grief or shame, I can see the absolute Truth in it all, this Sacred Spiral, the incredible bends and turns that took me to a women's herbal gathering along the Crystal River (the wildest, longest, untamed [undammed] river in the americas), hot springs, vapor caves, an ancient gong sound masterclass, camping and communing and joining in ceremony on ancient lands across Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, SW Colorado.
It's been a wild ride these last 6 months, and now I am feeling so much more connected to nature, to Earth, to all of you, to God, to Spirit, to Source. I still don't have any answers to those questions, but I'm Grateful for it all, to be with it all, to have it all.
WYLD #THREE :
I started a new job, and a new business! I'm the Community Manager for an HOA in Telluride so I'll be learning how to do accounting, payroll, taxes, and lots of other fun stuff, so that I can have a better foundation to run a successful small business [on the side].
I'm really excited about this new venture and exploration into creating products that will benefit all because they're in alignment with the natural rhythms of the Earth, in the way that the products are handmade and shipped to you in 100% recycled packaging, but mainly for how they can nourish our bodies and our wellbeing.
Announcing.... the official "soft" launch of my new skincare line!!!!
I want to invite you to be the first to join me in a new skin care revolution!
...Radical hydration, with serious results, but very few ingredients...
...Anti-aging, that actually works, but doesn't cost a fortune...
...Naturally activating products without fillers or dyes or perfumes...
...Wildcrafted botanicals inspired by the high desert Southwest, where I live.
I created a wintertime lip wax made with Rosehip botanicals (extreme Vitamin C), shea butter, and our triple-weighted hyaluronic acid formula that is ultra-hydrating and fills fine lines and smooths dry cracks in your lips. I use it first thing in the morning when I'm dried out, and again at night and it has literally transformed the wrinkles forming around my lips, I hardly notice them now.
We have a new Skin Club membership too, for DIY facials delivered every month. In the first month, you get a handmade ceramic bowl and brush duo to easily mix your own facemask serums at home (just add water). In each monthly delivery, you'll get a new Toner and mixes for 3 F'n Serious Serum mask refills.
For Valentine's Day, use code WYLDGALS in the shop for either the 3-month ($97) or 6-month ($197) membership and get 25% off. Shop Skin Club.
This will help cover the upfront costs of getting the highest quality raw materials ingredients possible, in bulk, and we can all enjoy high quality, effective, low cost serious skin care! Discount code expires at the end of Feb.
I'm super pumped to finally release what I've been working on these past few months, and to connect and have fun together with our skin care!
Let me know what's wild and radical in your life right now, I'd love to hear from you... and happy freaking Valentine's!!!
One thing for sure, life is a wild ride!
Love you love you, <3
Maia
