**COLOURING WITH CATS** #89 ~ Getting Your OMs on with Mandalas on Mondays ~ It's All Happening In Mewton-Clawson

Supurr Monday greetings beautiful furriends

Hiya guys, how was your weekend, anything good happen?  Ours was purretty laid-back, it was a beautiful day on Caturday, but a rather dull day on Sunday; Smooch and Pandora spent some time outside, and if mew want to see Pandora's supurr slow-mo video, pop to insta and check it out.  

Melvyn and Fudge are under house-arrest at the moment because Fudge decided to go marauding into next doors garden, upsetting a few burds and ruffling some feathers, and young Melvyn came home wet through and naked missing his collar, and we still haven't got to the bottom of that mystery, so they aren't going out anytime soon!

So Fudge spent Sunday like this...

And young Melvyn sulked in the kitchen...

And as mew can see, Sauce had no sympathy at all! OOPS! MOL

Anyhoo, we do hope mew've all have a totally pawesome weekend and that mew're ready fur the week ahead, so let's jump right in and start as always with our little breathing exercise, which we're sure mew all have down paw by now...  but if mew've furgotten, stop what mew're doing fur a moment and take deep fulfilling breaths; counting to five on the inhale and five on the exhale:

Breathe in

Breathe out

Breathe in

Breathe out

Breathe in

Breathe out

Smooch is here again to offur mew assistance in getting your OM's on and Zen Harmonies happening, so just press play, close your eyes and follow his instructions.

Don't mew feel better already?  I know we do!

**EASTER FUN** Colouring with Cats ~ Getting Your OMs on with Mandala's on Monday ~ Who Got The Easter Eggs?

 

Supurr Monday greetings beautiful furiends

What a glorious Easter weekend it's been, the weather has been amazing, in fact it's been so warm the P.A. and Dad got the deck chairs out in the courtyard and we renamed our little village Costa Del Mewton-Clawson! MOL

Anyhoo, how was your weekend, guys, did mew get any Easter eggs?  This year we were fortunate enough to get some catnip ones, if mew missed Caturdays post go check it out if mew get time for our latest Crafting with Cats post.

But I digress, so we all got catnip eggs at BBHQ, well Melvyn got them furst.

Then Fudge ambled in the catservatory and said, "Dude, I think mew need to share some of those epically epic eggsceptionally aromatic Easter eggs!" [yep he really said that!]

But then when nopurrdy was looking Smooch swooped in and snatched the eggs and had a free-for-all in the craft room on his own! Like seriously dude, there was one each!!! Manners purrlease! 

Smooch said, and I quote, "But Dude they're just too good!" MOL

Anyhoo, we do hope mew've all had a totally pawesome weekend, and that mew're ready for the week ahead, so let's jump right in and start as always with our little breathing exercise, which we're sure mew all have down paw by now...  but if mew've furgotten, stop what mew're doing for a moment and take deep fulfilling breaths; counting to five on the inhale and five on the exhale:

Breathe in

Breathe out

Love To Colour? Colouring with Cats #134 ~ Getting Your OM’s on with Mandalas on Mondays ~ Crystal of the Week PLUS **Your Crystal Questions Answered** What Is Opalite Good For?

Supurr Monday greetings beautiful furiends

Welcome to another week at BBHQ and we're continuing our crystal journey today, and have a lovely gemstone to share, as Angel asked us; what is Opalite good for? 

Crystal of The Week

&

What is Opalite good for?

Opalite is a semi-translucent white/blue stone, it is usually a man-made iridescent glass resin that is created from Dolomite and metal. There are natural opalite stones created in the earth, although these are quite rare, so the samples mew can buy will usually be the glass resin version. 

They are also known as a Tiffany Stone and have a lovely chatoyancy or colour change, similar to a genuine opal although not as intricate or intense, with flashes of blues, reds and golds shining from the depths of the crystal.

We have a few pieces of opalite at BBHQ, three of which are cute little cat carvings, one of which is being investigated by Melvyn below.

Let's tell mew a little about the gemlore surrounding this pretty crystal. It is purported to help with sleep disturbances, and nightmares, so if mew experience either, try putting a piece under your pillow for a few nights.

It is also said the help strengthen your aura, and assist with faster healing. Plus it supposedly helps to remove energetic blockages within the body.

Also known as the merchant stone, it can supposedly help with business, success and wealth plus assist with financial gain and material wealth. So if mew're needing a bit of help in that department maybe this stone could help. 

Opalite is a stone of happiness, bringing more joy and calmness to your life, and can aid in contacting the spiritual realms.

 A good stone for the throat chakra, as it can enhance communication. 

It apparently is an excellent energizer, so if mew're looking for a little more stamina throughout the day purrhaps carry a small stone on your purrson and see if it helps.

Opalite is said to be a good balancer, so if your yin and yang are a little out of sorts, this may help reset things.

There's so much more info about this lovely crystal, so if we've piqued your curiosity go and check out google for more.

And as with previous crystals, mew can get all types of different jewellery, should mew want to wear a piece or pieces.

We love our little carvings and they sit on a shelf in the BBHQ office.

 

Many thanks for emailing us Angel, and we hope that answered your question.

 If mew have any crystal questions; email us, DM us or ask us in the comments below.
