Why Hand Made Gifts Are The Best
Hand made gifts make it possible to offer a one-of-a-kind present to someone we care about. Here is why handmade is better: if you give someone a hand made gift that took a lot of time, care, and creative energy to make, it means a lot more than if you were to give them something that was mass produced or could be bought at any local store. When it comes to quality, originality, and aesthetic value, in all ways, hand made is better. If you have any loved ones who live in places with cold winters and they are a fan of colorful garments, then one of our scarves would be the perfect gift for them, available here: https://ripecolor.com/collections/scarves

In addition to scarves and other fashion accessories such as tote bags, pocket squares, and shawls, we are also offering hand made face masks! Given the current situation we are facing, many stores are requiring that you wear a face mask before entering, so might as well show off your unique and artistic taste while you are at it! Available here: https://ripecolor.com/collections/everyday-utility
(our blue abstract mask, below. 10% of profits made off of masks will be donated to the NAACP and ACLU )
Masks are available here: https://ripecolor.com/collections/accessories
We know that if you are reading this, you value originality and artistry. Perhaps you are an artist yourself. If so, then we are sure you know the importance of supporting other artists over buying commercially made goods, so browse our online store and make a selection! If you see something you like, buy it, since there will never be another one of that kind! Don't miss out, as our one-of-a-kind accessories cannot be replicated. Buy now.
Pocket squares are available here: https://ripecolor.com/collections/pocket-square

How a Tarot Reading Can Help You Make Decisions
Can Tarot Really Help Me Make a Decision?
Yes — but not by telling you what to do.
A tarot reading won’t say “Take the job” or “Leave the relationship.” Instead, it shows you:
-
What’s influencing you
-
What fears or desires are present
-
What energy surrounds each option
-
What you’re not seeing clearly
The goal isn’t control — it’s clarity.
Why Is It So Hard to Decide?
Because decisions are rarely just logical.
They’re emotional. Energetic. Tied to identity and fear. Sometimes you're not choosing between Option A and B — you're choosing between comfort and growth, fear and freedom.
Tarot helps you name the real decision behind the surface one.
What Kinds of Questions Can I Ask?
Instead of asking:
Should I do this or not?
Try:
-
What is the energy surrounding this opportunity?
-
What lesson is present in this decision?
-
What will I learn if I choose this path?
-
What am I avoiding in making this choice?
These open questions give the cards space to speak honestly.
What Will the Cards Show?
The cards reflect what’s already happening inside you — your resistance, your longing, your truth. A good reading won’t push you. It will help you recognize the path you already feel but haven’t fully claimed.
Sometimes, you’ll hear what you already knew. That’s confirmation. And that’s powerful.
Want Help Seeing Clearly?
✨ I offer intuitive, honest tarot readings designed to help you cut through confusion, reconnect to your intuition, and make decisions with confidence.
