Fáilte – Welcome to the world that is Light and Lurve.  

Light and Lurve is a crystal creation business based in a small town in County Donegal, a wee county in the Northwest of Ireland.

Run by Lorraine, a busy Mammy of 3, she has experienced first-hand the highs and lows of life. Inspired by the positive impact crystals have had on her and those around her. Lorraine wanted to create handcrafted crystal infused products which allowed her to sprinkle light and love on hearts and homes across the world.

Light and Lurves vision is to promote positive mental health through easy-to-use self-care gifts.  Using only ethically sourced materials which are eco-friendly and sustainable along with the finest ingredients, each product is lovingly handcrafted in Donegal, with positive intentions.

‘I believe everyone deserves to add a little sparkle to their lives and be nourished with love.’ - Lorraine 

At Light and Lurve we believe Crystals have a positive effect on your wellbeing. However, they are not to be used as a replacement to professional/medical advice or treatment. Please consult a doctor or health professional if you have any concerns regarding your health.

Everyone’s experience is individual to their own perception.

Our Story

Throughout my teens and 20s I was stuck in a vicious cycle of poor mental health and unhealthy coping mechanisms. It was a pattern of self-destruction that brought me to my knees and completely disconnected me from myself. When I hit my rock bottom, I knew things drastically needed to change and the only person who could save me was myself. I needed a complete overhaul, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

Along with professional supports I began to look for complimentary solutions and emerged myself in self-help books, meditation, healing crystals and positive affirmations. In time, as I reconnected with my true self the transformation was undeniable, and this is where my love affair with holistic’s began.

As we face a mental health crisis, I wanted to share things that had helped me in my darkest days. Inspired by my personal experience of healing crystals and affirmations and their positive effects, I started to design wellness gifts purposefully designed for your self-care needs.

This is where Light and Lurve was born.

Self-Care

Think of self-care as self-investment. We get so engrossed in our lives and helping others that we often forget about ourselves. But you can’t give from an empty cup that’s why it’s so important to invest in ourselves, so our cup is so full its overflowing. Self-care is the practise of looking after ourselves. Its about knowing when to take time out for ourselves and what is available to us. Everyone deserves to indulge in small luxuries that add a little sparkle to our lives and nourish us with love.

Light and Lurve uses a combination of scents, healing crystals and positive affirmations creating a self-care gift anyone can benefit from.

How it all works

As scents sends signals to our limbic system which is the sector of our brain that controls emotion and memory. They have the ability to completely transform our mood, energy, and productivity. Considering the impact scents can have on us Light and Lurve have carefully picked each scent to enhance the state which we want to achieve with each candle.

Healing crystal practises have been used throughout history from the 4th millennium BC the time of the Sumerians, to the ancient Egyptians, to the ancient Greeks and is becoming widely used within mainstream markets today. Anecdotally, crystals have been associated with different areas of self-healing. So, by matching scents with certain crystals, it helps amplify the effects it has on our wellbeing.

The positive affirmations which accompany our candles are positive statements that can help you to challenge and overcome self-sabotaging and negative thoughts. When you repeat them often, and believe in them, you can start to make positive changes. Just as we do repetitive exercises to improve our physical health, affirmations are like exercises for our mindset. Positive mental repetitions can reprogram thinking patterns so that, over time, we begin to think and act differently.
