Mystic Island Nymph

[whiffypants]

This is just a drive-by more than an actual review, but I ordered several samples the last time I shopped with Mystic, and one of them was Nymph. The site description is here:

Balance, Justice, Truth, Beauty, Perfection. Easily sees both sides of an argument. Highly skilled at problem-solving and decision making. Would enjoy a blend of whites reds and green but focused more on green. Knows how to be unbiased while offering spirited debates on beliefs, knowledge, politics, etc. Appreciates sharing amongst family, friends co-workers etc. Finds it difficult to be alone; works best in partnerships.

Heh, yeah, okay.

So I got out my Super Sekrit New Age Crystals and Incense Decoder Ring to handle the translation for me, and it revealed that Nymph is "a blend of whites reds and green but focused more on green." Sounded good so I tossed a sample in the cart, and finally got around to trying it today.

I am -very- pleasantly surprised. It is a middle of the road green, with an average energy and strength of a green, but the mood lift is much better than I usually get from a green, and while the energy is mild -- still definitely green -- it's more pointed in its effects, almost like a white. Very interesting burn. Still mellow, still very much green all around, but quite good.

And it took care of my aches very effectively, which is why I burn to begin with: they were bad this morning and stayed that way for several hours until I dosed, but I'm feeling great now.

I literally couldn't ask for more. It was definitely worth the $3.00, and I'll probably be getting more.

Centaur and peridot im digging now

I haven't tried Centaur yet; I have a large sample I bought on my last order but haven't opened yet. Heard it's good!

But Peridot I've had for a while and like a lot. Good energy, smooth, great way to start a morning. It's also a good way to kick a blend up a notch, if I'm not in the mood for that much energy on it's own -- late afternoon, for example.

I also tried Sapphire and it's a miss -- for me, anyway. That's the first Mystic leaf I've had that wasn't a good one for me personally, at least on its own. I bought a sample on my last order, tried it, and had a pretty bad day until it wore off. Not sure why: for whatever reason Sapphire, while effective and energetic, was too jittery and in a bad way. In a 50/50 blend with something slower -- like a mild green or a red -- it's great and that's how I've been using it since. Someone who likes a frenetic white will probably -love- Sapphire.
