Spiritual Cleansing
After a lifetime of non-stop travel around the world (including stops at every World Wonder!), Francesca “The Muse” Cruz took the lessons she learned about potent herbs, oils and flowers from spiritual healers, shamans and Yoruba practitioners and launched Bathing Muse Soul Bars, a collection of handmade organic soaps that assist in deep auric cleansing. The “Clean As A Whistle Hex Remover” eliminates negative energy, bad juju and curses; “La Reina/El Rey” is best used for matters of the heart: love, lust and attraction; and “Mo’ Money Honey” is meant to yield wealth, esteem and abundance. “I encourage everyone to start with the ‘Clean As A Whistle Hex Remover’ because you can’t attract anything positive if you have spiritual gunk attached to your aura!”; IG: @BathingMuseSoulBars.
