Witch tip:

This week brings a fresh start, so it's important to bring new energy to our surroundings. Sweep the living space from back to front and light palo santo to pass through the whole home. Then, make a floor wash with some water, vinegar, and essential oils like lavender to calm and protect, eucalyptus to cleanse and clarify, and basil for prosperity. Use 1/2 cup vinegar for 4 liters of water and 30 drops of essential oils. Mix and then mop or wipe on the floor.
