{{Reveal}} card reading with karabears

Happy Monday!! This week I decided to do my reading a little differently! I decided to use a 60-card deck called The Law of Attraction Cards by Esther & Jerry Hicks. These cards are all very positive and the messages are sent to remind you that you do have personal control of your life experience & that we were all meant to live a joyful life; and we also know that conscious, deliberate self-empowerment is essential to living such a life. So with that being said, I have pulled a 3 card spread that is relatable to everyone now I feel and it offers up some great advice on the Law of Attraction and how to set clear intentions for what you would like to attract in your daily lives!  



I
Understand the Rules of the Game of Life

"Now that I understand the rules of this Game of Eternal Life...now that I understand the powerful Law of attraction and Deliberate Creation, I can prepave, segment by segment, my life experience into becoming the Allower I was born to be...for I was destined to a life of fulfillment and never-ending joy." 


I Divide Each Day into Segments of Intentions

The point from which you are consciously perceiving - that point is a segment. Your day may be divided into many segments. It is not necessary to have a rigid schedule of segments, but it is important that you clearly identify when you are moving from one segment of intentions into another segment of intentions. 

As I Am Segment Intending, I Am Attracting

The way you feel is your point of attraction. And so, the value of Segment Intending is that you pause many times during your day to say: This is what I want and expect from this segment of my life experience. And as you set forth those powerful thoughts, you will attract into your experience what you want. 


Have a great week mermaids, hope it's your most positive one yet!!

Xoxo, Karabears

{{REVEAL}} Interactive Angel Card Reading with Karabears

Happy Monday Mermaids!! This week I felt drawn to pull out the healing angel cards
(I used the Doreen Virtue Archangel Raphael Healing Oracle Cards).
This week is all about letting go, releasing, and healing  <3
Be sure to leave me a comment to let me know if these cards resonated with you!
 I would love to hear your feedback!

 

Card #1 Unconditional Joy
 
This card serves as a reminder that it's possible to experience joy no
matter what's happening in life. Too often, we put conditions on our happiness,
saying, "I'll be happy when {fill in the blank}." However, maintaining a
lighthearted, cheerful mindset can be a potent health prescription
for increased vitality and strength.
 
Archangel Raphael can help you find something to feel
joyful about by focusing upon the things you're grateful for. As
you allow yourself to be happy today, you attract more circumstances that
will enhance your sense of well-being even more. It's a healthy cycle,
beginning with your present happiness.
 
Possible specific meanings: Notice three things that
make you feel happy ~ Make a "Gratitude List"~ Keep your thoughts
focused on the here-and-now ~ Hold the intention of enjoying
each moment to its fullest ~ The decision you're contemplating
has a happy outcome
 
My Prayer

Dear Archangel Raphael, thank you for helping me appreciate
everything that makes me happy right now.
 
 
Card #2 Detoxification
 
You drew this card because your body (or the body of the person for
whom you're inquiring ) is highly sensitive to chemicals. Archangel Raphael
is recommending a detoxification, which he will oversee and help you with.
 
This could mean changing to an organic and natural diet that's devoid
of preservatives, sugar, and other chemicals. This card may also represent
an avoidance of "recreational" substances such as alcohol, drugs, caffeine,
sugar, or nicotine. In some cases, the angels could be steering you away
from environmental irritants at your home or workplace. The
first chemical or substance that comes to mind is an indication
of your detoxification guidance.
 
Possible specific meanings: Take a detoxifying sea-salt bath ~ Ask
the angels to clear away negative energy ~ Leave a toxic
relationship or situation ~ Detoxify your thoughts by becoming
more positive and optimistic ~ Avoid household chemicals ~
Change or reduce your medications
  
My Prayer
 
Dear Archangel Raphael, thank you for cleaning
up my body, mind, and life so that I may
happily and healthfully live free of chemicals.
 
 
Card # 3 Good Night's Sleep
 
This card indicates that the quality of your sleep is connected to a
health concern. Perhaps your mind is busy with worry or your body
feels tense due to an excess of stress or caffeine. Regardless of the cause,
Archangel Raphael wants you to enjoy a good night's sleep.
 
When you wish to fall asleep, think about Raphael and imagine
talking to him about your concerns. Tell him all of your thoughts, fears,
or wishes. When you feel complete, ask t`i,,kiihe archangel to allow your mind
and body to rest peacefully. Raphael will then cover you with his emerald
green energy blanket, which will nourish you as you sleep. He'll
watch over you, making sure that you're safe and protected.
 
Possible specific meanings: Go on a retreat to revive your body and
spirit ~ Let go of control issues and go with the flow to release
tension ~ Know that you are safe ~ Invest in a comfortable bed
and allergen-free bedding so that you can sleep better ~ Adjust
your schedule in order to have at least eight hours of sleep
each night
 
My Prayer
 
Dear Archangel Raphael, thank you for helping me
relax and sleep deeply, for I know that you are
guiding, healing, and protecting me while I rest.



 
I hope you enjoyed this interactive reading! Be sure to meet me back here on the Nobella Grace Blog every Monday so I can help get your week set off in the right direction with each angel card picked with YOU in mind! :)
 
XOXO, Karabears

{RESULTS} Interactive Angel Card Reading with Karabears

Happy Monday Mermaids! Below is the reveal for the interactive angel card reading.
I used the Angel Therapy Oracle Cards from Doreen Virtue. Be sure to leave me a comment
to let me know if these cards resonated with you! I would love to hear your feedback! <3

 
Card #1 Integrity
Align your actions so that they match your values and inner
knowingness of what's right for you.
 
This card is a response to your questions or prayers about increasing your
happiness and confidence. The angels' answer is: Only conduct activities that you
believe are right. This is based on no one else's code of conduct but your own. 
 
The angels say that engaging in behaviors that you feel guilty or ashamed about
erode your self-esteem and self-confidence.
 
Conversely, you can feel great about yourself by only doing that which you
feel is right. Again, this is based on your own moral compass and no one else's.
 
The angels can help you change or heal any situation or relationship so you're
able to bring your entire life fully into alignment with your inner truth.
 
Actions Steps
 
Lie down and meditate in the process normally thought of as "daydreaming" - that
is, allow your imagination to roam free. Instruct your mind, heart, and soul to show
you a mental movie of you living your life at its healthiest and highest levels. Watch
this movie, and notice how it makes you feel. Then say:
 
"Archangel Michael, I ask that you help me arrange my
life and daily activities so I'm fully immersed and engaged in
actions that have engendered guilt or shame in the past; and
replace them with actions I feel good about."
 
 
Card #2 Shield Yourself
Protect yourself from harsh or fear-based energies by
envisioning a cocoon of healing light surrounding you.
 
The angels brought this card to you because of your heightened sensitivity
to energies. This sensitivity means that you may inadvertently absorb other
people's energies, which may make you feel tired, unfocused, or
upset. Just as you wouldn't walk outdoors in a rainstorm without an
umbrella, it's important to use an energy umbrella in the face
of any emotional downpour.
 
If you feel negative energy - or people are arguing, competing, or
using frightening words - it's vital for you to shield yourself. This
means imagining that a bubble of protective light surrounds
your entire body. You can also ask Archangel Michael to
guard you from lower energies, and you can even "borrow" his
shield as a protective buffer.
 
Action Steps
 
Visualize yourself surrounded by one or more of the following colors
(you can layer colors for multiple purposes, such as a white
light next to you for general protection, followed by a second layer
of green light for healing, and covered by a third layer of purple
light for spiritual protection):
 
Blue: Increased communication and clarity
Green: Healing and protection of health
Pink: Lightheartedness and romance
Purple: Spiritual protection (shielding from psychic attack)
White: General protection
 
The light shields last for about 12 hours, less time in harsh
circumstances, so reinvoke them often.

Card #3 Heal Away Addictions
It's time to let go of behaviors that are blocking you
from your heart's desire. Ask Archangel Raphael to
help you with this healing.
 
This card comes to you to validate what you already know: It's time
to let go of addictive behaviors, as they're interfering with your health,
happiness, and life purpose. The angels ask you to be very honest with yourself,
and admit that these addictions are wasting your time, robbing you of
energy  and confidence, and blocking the answers to your prayers.
Fortunately, the angels will support you through every step of healing
away cravings and other addictive tendencies.
 
It begins with your making a clear decision to let the addiction
(or addictions) go. Weight the pluses and minuses of the addictive
behavior. Once you're emotionally ready to release it, take the
following Action Steps.
 
Action Steps
 
Go to a quiet place where you won't be disturbed. Then say,
silently or aloud:
 
"Archangel Raphael, I call upon you now." 
 
Think of what you'd like to release (it could include destructive patterns,
compulsive behaviors, toxic relationships, and unhealthful cravings).
Imagine these addictions (or a symbol of them) sitting on your lap or
upper legs. You might see or feel the addictions; and you may also sense
how they're attached to your stomach area with tangled cords, webs, and roots.
 
Breathe deeply while saying:
 
"Archangel Raphael, I'm now ready to release these
former addictions to you and Heaven. Please cut all
of the roots, cords, and webs attached to these addictions;
and lift them to the light for transmutation and healing."
 
After Raphael carts away the addictions, he'll fill you with his emerald green
healing light to nurture, sooth, and fulfill you. You'll notice a drastic reduction
in addictive cravings. Repeat this process if needed until the addiction is
completely cleared.

It's All About The South



Hello beautiful Mermaids!

First, I would like to take the time to introduce myself, my name is Chelsea and I am so excited to be one of NBG’s monthly guest bloggers! I’m a twenty-something Cleveland, OH native who’s gone southern to attend graduate school at Ole Miss with my very own fashion and lifestyle blog finally launching this upcoming week called Pretty Pink and Proper! I have a passion for decorating and all things fashion, beauty and lifestyle as well as anything pertaining to traveling, coffee, and Gilmore Girls!



So, with my new home being in the hot (and oh so, so, SO humid) South, I wanted to share a little bit about Southern game-day’s and game day attire (if you’re not familiar that is) and how I plan on styling one of my new fave NBG pieces for game day tomorrow!



For those of you unfamiliar with Southern living and traditions, college football game days in the South are no joke. I come from an urban undergraduate institution in Northwest Ohio where our game day wardrobe consisted of shorts, t-shirts and leggings and sweatshirts when our weather turned brutal. The Ole Miss tailgating experience is truly of its own caliber, and what you’d wear to church on Sunday morning would be what you’d likely dress in for game day, but in school colors. Women are dressed in the cutest sundresses, wedge sandals and cowboy boots, while men sport khaki pants or shorts with polo’s or button down dress shirts and blazers (see below). To say you’ve experience an Ole Miss tailgate in the Grove is to say you’ve witnessed one of the greatest southern traditions.



Keeping all of that in mind, this week I’m so excited to pair my NBG blue “Jana Tunic” with my cowboy boots and my favorite pair of destroyed denim to hit the Grove and game! The humidity down here is REAL so I especially love the light weight material this piece is constructed of, on top of the gorgeous lace detailing on the sleeves that make or an even more breathable garment for all of the intense sun and heat (it was only 105 for last weekend's game with the heat and humidity index….no big!). I can't wait to also work this piece into my Fall and Winter wadrobe (if we ever cool off down here) by layering it over leggings and under comfy oversized knits and vests.






What do y’all think?! Anyone else out there from the South and have fun tips and styling tricks for game day outfitting? Currently coveting the new NBG “Fay Top” piece (I love love love all things that are off-the-shoulder) for all the red game days we have coming up!

Until next time, mermaids!

Meet Kendall and Kelsey

Hey friends, Kendall & Kelsey here from The Radiant Life Blog and we are so excited to share with you guys this month.  We are looking forward to being regular contributors to the Nobella Grace Blog to open up a discussion with you about fashion and how powerful, fun, and exciting it is!

We began this journey of writing (publicly) this year because it has long proved to be an outlet in our personal lives and a place to express what’s in our hearts. Fashion, on the other hand has been more of an outlet to express our personality and that has been so, so fun!  So today we want to expand on just that.

Rachel Zoe, God love her, said, “Style is a way to express who you are without having to speak.” Can we get a big amen on that?  

We firmly believe that each and every single one of us is made uniquely.  That means all facets of who you are: the things you’re passionate about, what makes you feel alive, the smile on your face, your passions, hopes and dreams, etc.  There are things about you that are so unique to this big, beautiful world and it is so important that you let your heart shine.  We totally believe style is a way to do this!

Of course people can get to know you on a day-to-day basis, but it is also fun to allow yourself to shine by dressing in a way that says who you are.  There is no blanket-method that is the formula for perfect style.  At least not in our opinion.  We believe that each of you can pick out pieces that are flattering for your body type, colors that favor your skin tone, and most importantly highlight your personality.

Here at Nobella Grace you are able to do just that!  We have so many fun options coming in each week that work for every girl.  Today scroll through the shop to see that dress that would just speak FOR you.  That outfit when people meet you would let them know a little bit about you first thing first.  That is what we are all about when selecting clothes and Nobella Grace provides the perfect opportunity for just that.



Until next time fashionistas,
Kendall + Kelsey
