I've been obliquely interested in mysticism and the occult for most of my life, probably as a…read morefunction of consuming tomes upon tomes of sci-fi/fantasy since grade school. It makes sense that I'd gravitate toward crystals and dreamcatchers; regardless of their genuine healing properties, I can wholly buy into the power of placebo effect. That said, my frugal Asian immigrant upbringing absolutely recoils at the idea of spending hard-earned income on rocks, no matter how pretty they are or how much they're touted to improve one's spiritual well-being. Over the past few years, I've been experimenting with adding in some accessories to my wardrobe. During a visit to Philly earlier this year, I accidentally shattered a cheap hematite ring I'd picked up as a souvenir from Shasta Caverns, and I've been keeping an eye out for a replacement. I spotted a bowl of similar rings -- except they were rainbow-y! -- at the cashier counter here and couldn't resist picking one up. I love how inclusive this shop is: they proudly support Native/Indigenous artists and they're queer-friendly, too. I walked out of this shop sporting warm fuzzies... and some shiny fabulously gay finger bling, to boot.

I sent her a few pictures just as a jumping off point and she designed an absolutely gorgeous one of a kind ring that I will treasure forever. There was no pressure to buy at anytime, no upselling, just a woman passionate about her craft looking to design something unique for you. The other employees (who's names I am ashamed to say I didn't get) are equally as talented, knowledgeable and professional. I am so pleased with everything they've done. Thank you Love Locked!!

The Miel de Amor (Honey of Love) perfume is also nice if you like a nice cheap perfume to daub on as needed. (It's marketed as an aphrodisiac in Santeria circles, but I just like its sweet, honey-laden fragrance as, well, an everyday scent once in a while.) The staff at El Cacique was prompt, friendly, and helpful on my last visit, and not at all concerned about why some gay, bald assed white dude from Okla-Freakin'-Homa was shopping around with his equally skeptical husband in an NYC botanica.
