Each piece is one-of-a-kind, inspired by the creativity of other sea glass artists. If you’re looking for a unique gift, check me out on Instagram at Catch My Drift Sea Glass.

Each oil is infused with carefully chosen, cleansed, and charged crystals—amethyst for clarity, rose quartz for love, citrine for abundance—allowing their energy to merge with the oils over time. Essential oils and botanical extracts enhance both scent and healing properties. Made in small batches with mindfulness and intention, these oils offer a unique, holistic approach to self-care.
