After using the basic generic period calendar, Wendy ruminated, wouldn’t it be nice to have a better looking version of this thing? Something you don’t mind hanging on the bathroom wall? Or tucking in your nightstand? She mentioned it to Bella while they were at the baby gym, and the idea took root.

Of course apps exist for tracking your cycle, but we are fairly certain nobody wants another reason to pick up their phone. While an app relies on data to tell you how you're feeling, moon cycle wisdom is an invitation to notice and understand your unique rhythms on a deeper level.

This calendar was created as a way to honor your cycle, all parts of it. The cycles of your body are not an inconvenience. Remember those commercials in the 1990s where women just use a tampon or take an Advil and go play tennis (in a white tennis skirt no less) or ball bust in the boardroom? 

It feels tired to portray menstruation as a nuisance to just deal with while you go about your day, as though nothing is happening. Something IS happening and there are many benefits to practicing self-care specific to each menstrual phase.

Tracking your menstrual cycle alongside the lunar cycle is an ancient practice that grounds you to the rhythms of the natural world. There are four phases of the lunar cycle and four phases of the menstrual cycle that reflect distinct similarities. Over the course of four weeks, (on average) our hormones fluctuate with amazing changes that influence everything from energy, to work productivity, creativity, metabolism, immune health, and more. Beginning to learn about your unique menstrual relationship to the moon cycle can be as simple as noticing what phase the moon is in during your period.

This calendar can be started and used at anytime in the year and does not need to begin in January.

This charcoal-based incense is hand-dipped in the PF Candle studio and packaged in kraft boxes.

Incense quickly transforms a room: transformative smoke uplifts the space while the signature scents linger for hours even after extinguishing.

This charcoal-based incense is hand-dipped using fine fragrance oils and dipropylene glycol (DPG), a synthetic base commonly found in body care and home fragrance products.

This holistic personal journal sheds light on the otherwise misunderstood details that take part in each of the four menstrual phases: menstruation, pre-ovulation, ovulation, and pre-menstruation.

The Menstrual Calendar Journal includes examples of dietary and herbal suggestions to support you in each menstrual phase. It additionally includes four totally customizable pages for each phase‚ a calendar to track your cycle, lined paper to write your new moon wishes or monthly intentions, graph paper to track your basal body temperature, blank paper for your creative musings, a cycle dial to give you a snapshot of where you'll be in your cycle throughout the month, and an 11" x 17" Lunar Calendar!

This journal is intended for those not on hormonal birth control (hormonal contraceptives prevent ovulation and interrupt hormonal changes in the body so this resource will not be applicable), those who want to gain awareness around their menstrual cycle and fertility, and those who want to track their body's fertility signs so they can avoid or achieve pregnancy.

Palo Santo is a tree that grows on the coast of South America and is related to Frankincense, Myrrh and Copal. It is part of the citrus family and has sweet notes of pine, mint and lemon. 

Similar to sage in its ability to clear the energy when burned, ignite your stick of Palo Santo as you would incense. Burn for about 30 secs to 1 minute and then blow out. Move about your bedroom, car, bathroom or anywhere you would like to clear the energy. 

The glow will end on its own unless you blow on the ember which will keep the smoke going.

Burning of beeswax candles produces a white rounded flame, giving a wonderful warm glow and will release negative ions that clean the air in your home. For proper burning of bees wax candles, trim wick to 3/8" before burning each time. These candles have cotton wicks and are made from 100% USA beeswax. Made in Portland, OR

Refresh Yourself! Rose Geranium hydrosol is a gentle toner, all of the mild plant acids helping to revive the skin and keep pore clogging bacteria in check. Clary sage acts as a mild astringent and clears the air of bad vibes- take that bad email! Jojoba oil keeps the skin supple.

Here at Fat and the Moon, we like to think of ourselves as minimal maximalists. Stacking functions brings us divine joy (and light toiletry bags). The Lip & Cheek Stain embodies this minimal/maximal philosophy: a versatile plant-based stain for the lips and cheeks, not too pink, a little red wine-y a, little black berry-y, and free of heavy metal (the bad kind!). .5 fl oz Please use within 6 months of purchase. Store in a cool and dry place. Our products are organic and freshly made-to-order skin food. We do not use toxins that make things last forever.

A little dab of this stuff on the apples of your cheeks and on your lips adds just the right dose of color.

Shea Butter provides a cushy lipid layer that protects the skin and traps all the good moisture we need to stay supple. Rosewater, one of the oldest and most honored cosmetic potions, has toned and hydrated the skin of many queens. Aloe lends us the ability to stay juicy in the face of the hot, blazing sun. Sunflower Oil packs in nutrients that soften and aid the skin in proper cell turnover while also harboring the energy of the proud and open Sunflower.

Honey, before this cream came into my life, I was product promiscuous. I'd buy creams and lotions for my under eyes, my T-zone, for day and for night, for my head, shoulders, knees, and toes‚ knees and toes... I found they would be great those first couple of encounters, but would quickly lose their charm. This cream is truly an 'all' cream. Super juicy, protecting, and hydrating for face and body, and a little goes a loooong way.
