White Sage + Eucalyptus Bundle

$9.00

Sustainably sourced and with a 100% organic cotton fiber wrapping, this white sage and eucalyptus can be used to cleanse spaces, objects and even people. More than a hippie ritual or a home fragrance, white sage is historically healing and burning it (in the correct way) can lead to feeling physically, emotionally and spiritually balanced. The eucalyptus will offer fresh energy. Be sure to extinguish in an abalone shell or pottery.

Rule of Thirds Finder

$9.00

Available in three different translucent colorways, this laser-etched acrylic tool is a handy accessory for any photographer. Pocket-sized (at three inches), it’s a little grid that acts as a guide to the Rule of Thirds. Photography’s golden rule, the Rule of Thirds equates to dividing an image into nine equal parts—the result arguably being a more compelling image, with the focal point slightly off-center.

D’Angelo: May I?

Perhaps surprisingly, the just-released Western-themed video game Red Dead Redemption 2 has included a new song by D’Angelo on its soundtrack. In fact, it’s still unconfirmed if it’s actually D’Angelo, but it sounds almost …

Political and personal, the record is saturated by singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/producer Muldrow’s familiar but transcendent sound—compelling, laid-back and lush.

Hamzaa: Breathing

The third track released ahead of her debut EP First Signs of Me, Hamzaa’s “Breathing” is beautifully uplifting. The tune is gospel-inflected (but not preachy) and the London-based singer/songwriter delivers stirring, soulful vocals. First Signs …
