Lunar Celtic Dream offers peace, calm and crystals - Zanesville Times Recorder

ZANESVILLE — When customers walk into Lunar Celtic Dream in the Colony Square Mall, Shonda and Bridgette Rhine want them to feel differently than they do in other stores.

"We want them to come in and have a sense of peace," said Bridgette. "We want them to feel good energy and just be relaxed."

Helping to cultivate that atmosphere is an eclectic mix of products, from crystals and geodes to candles and incense, soaps, and clothing. The Rhines make a lot of their own products, including jewelry. They also pour their own candles.

"Everything is all natural," said Bridgette.

They call the store an eclectic mystic boutique and metaphysical store. The crystals and herbs they sell are focused on self-healing, and carry various properties, they said. 

"Obsidian can be for protetin, rose quartz for self love, dragon's blood jasper for protection," Bridgette said.

When customers come in, Shonda said, they will be drawn to what they should buy. "What is calling to you? You shouldn't just say 'ooh, that's pretty' you should feel drawn to it, especially your crytals, you should have a pull toward it.

"They will tell you what you should get, they will draw you," she said.

They also sell a lot of herbs, focused on holistic healing. All are safe for consumption, usually in teas. To help beginners, the store sells a herbal kit, a selection of herbs, iincense, some sage, a journal and a variety of crystals for beginners, all in a leather case.

While massive geodes are an attraction in the store, they also sell smaller ones "so kids can start their collection," said Shonda. "We try and keep our prices low enough so we can stay above water, but with the economy being what it is, low enough so people can afford to come in," said Bridgette.

Adding to the varied nature of the store is a photo studio, Shutter Up Photographs.

"It is the first photo studio in the mall in a very long time," Shonda said. "There are not very many photo studios left in Zanesville."

Right now the studio is decorated for fall. On December first, it will switch to a Christmas theme. Bridgette is the photographer.

If customers have any questions, Bridgette and Shonda said they will do their best to educate, and if they don't know they answer, they know people who will. They also try to promote fellow small businesses. "We are all in this together," Bridgette said.

inflammation of the lungs caused by bacteria :: Article Creator How Lupus Affects The Lungs And Pulmonary System Inflammation caused by lupus may affect the lungs in many ways, and can involve the membrane lining of the lungs, the lungs themselves, the blood vessels within the lungs, and the diaphragm. Pleuritis The most common way that lupus can affect your lungs is through inflammation of the pleura, the lining that covers the outside of the lungs. The symptom of pleuritis that you may experience is severe, often sharp, stabbing pain in a specific area or areas of your chest. The pain, which is called pleurisy, is made worse when you take a deep breath, cough, sneeze, or laugh. You may also experience shortness of breath. Sometimes an abnormal amount of fluid will build up in the space between your lungs and your chest wall; when it leaks out it is called a pleural effusion. Pain from pleurisy, with or without effusions, is found in 40 to 60 percent o...

FBS Review 2024: Read Before You Trade | FXEmpire - FX Empire

I checked FBS's trading and non-trading costs and determined that they meet the industry average. The broker offers floating spreads from 0.9 pips and commission-free trading. Deposits and withdrawals are charge-free, but there is a small inactivity fee. The pricing mechanism is suitable for high-frequency trading. FBS's Trading Fees FBS's Spreads I tested FBS's spreads during the most actively traded times – the London open at 8:00 a.m. GMT and just after the U.S. open at 2:45 p.m. GMT. The test was conducted on 27 December 2023. The results are shown in the table below: Broken down by asset class and compared to the broader industry, FBS charges low spreads on FX pairs and share CFDs, low-to-average spreads on commodities, and high spreads on indices.
