⚙️Self Defense Jewelry by CAKRA [Rant/Review/Showcase/Try-on]⚙️

I received some packages in the mail a while back.

California has a rape rate of 37.2 since 2017. 

With 100,000 inhabitants in the United States, by state--this number is very high. 

(With Alabama being the worst of them all, with 116.7 climbing rate.) 

But according to some statistics, it is STILL climbing daily. Probably as we even speak.

(This is not even mentioning all the other types of crime and violence happening around the world!)

Self Defense is something we hear about almost on a regular basis.

In actuality, it has become our norm to carry some form of protection.

I hear it all the time from people: "if it ever happens to me, I'll know what to do!" 

but when it boils down to such a time, are we really that prepared?

This is a very touchy topic for me because I've been the victim of a lot of horrible moments in my life that called for critical thinking and quick decision making. From experiences that would have ended badly, pushy individuals that couldn't take "NO" for an answer and my having to run to ensure my own safety. I can honestly tell you that never once have I been "fully prepared." Most of my experiences were spur of the moments. I felt afraid, paranoid and caught like a deer in headlights.

It's really a tactic of "Fight or Flight" in moments like these.

Demon Milk Jewelry Review // Hannabal Marie

Hello boils and ghouls,
today I have a lovely review for a company called

Demon Milk!

"Demon Milk, or now called "Love From Sirius" began as a Gothic jewelry and clothing brand. 

They make tons of image jewelry, with gemstone jewelry as a side project. However, as time went on, Demon Milk found that people were far more attracted to their gemstone jewelry. 

Rebranding the entire line, they just ended up creating whatever felt right, regardless as to whether or not it fit a specific style. 

 Demon Milk ended up getting more attracted and connected to semiprecious gemstones that come from our earth, rather than the extremely high quality glass beads they once were used to using. 

Even though each gem stone may have inclusions, or imperfections, they find it more beautiful than something that is perfectly, uniformly cut. 

While they do source gem stones of the best grade, Demon Milk can find online, there will always be some imperfections because they are not made by machine, but by the earth itself."

What makes you different, makes you beautiful.
