Healing properties of the Aquamarine

March birthstone: Aquamarine

The aquamarine is a stone associated with courage and serenity. It sharpens the mind and clears any confusion that you may be experiencing.

This stone is believed to be highly protective during pregnancy, it helps to guard both mother and the baby from harm.

The aquamarine also boosts the immune system and alleviates allergies. So you know what that means. Since spring is finally here and for many of you it means the beginning of sneezing season and everything else that makes your life miserable. My advice... grab an aquamarine stone and make it your best friend for the next few weeks.

You can thank me later :p

Healing properties of Amethyst...

February birthstone: Amethyst

Amethyst is a powerful stone often worn by healers, as it has the power to focus energy.

It activates spiritual awareness, opens intuition and enhances psychic abilities; and it also relieves stress and alleviates sadness and grief.

The amethyst is known as the Bishop's stone and is still worn by many Catholic Bishops.

It is a great stone to relieve headaches and boost the immune system.

Hmmmm... a nice amethyst necklace is certainly a pretty way to feel better.Lol

Healing properties of the Garnet

January birthstone: The red Garnet

The garnet is a stone of commitment and the red garnet is a beautiful symbol of love. It re-energizes your relationships and enhances sensuality.

It's mostly seen in red, but it comes a variety of colors like orange, pink and black. This great stone regenerates your body and stimulates your metabolism.

Since the red garnet opens the heart. I think it's a good idea to keep one around to prepare yourself for Valentine's day.

Healing properties of the blue Topaz

December birthstone: Blue topaz

The most popular birthstone for the month of December is the Blue Topaz, the hardest of the silicate minerals.

When pure, the topaz is colorless and the blue hue is created when it is heated.

Ancient civilizations believed that the blue Topaz could calm hot tempers, cure insanity and even make its wearer invisible when endangered.

That's great news for those who want to run and hide during the Holidays. Get one of those babies and you are set! Lol

An alternate birthstone for December is the Turquoise who was believed by ancient civilizations to protect against illness and evil spirits.

Healing properties of the Citrine and the Topaz

November birthstones: Citrine and Topaz

The traditional birthstone for November is the Citrine, but in more modern times the Topaz has been used.

Citrine is associated with the values of hope, cheerfulness, youth and vitality.

Topaz is associated with generosity, abundance and good health.

Citrine energizes every level of life. It cleanses our chakras and open our intuitive abilities.

Topaz soothes, heals, aligns the meridians of the body and re-direct our energy to where it is most needed.

My advice to you all... get a couple of these babies with everyone getting sick and all. They sound wayyyy more helpful than the flu shot. #Just sayin'

I looooooooove this feature initially posted by Advanced Style.

It features Ruth a Centennial fashionista sharing her style tips. What can I say...when you've got it, flaunt it!

A great sense of style never gets old baby :)

100 year old Ruth's Life and Style Tips

1."I never go to bed with my makeup on. that is number one.At night you must let your skin breathe." 2."I use a lipstick brush to paint on my lipstick--It stays on longer that way. I can also use a lipstick longer than anyone else because I can dig into it." 3."Every night before I got to bed I use Elizabeth Arden's 8 hour beauty cream on my lips. You must keep your lips moisturized." 4."When it comes to fashion you must be aware of your skin tone. You don't wear orange lipstick with a red dress."

5."I make myself go out everyday, even if its only to walk around the block. The Key to staying young is to keep moving. You are never too old to exercise."

6."Invest in Quality pieces, they never go out of style."

7."Don't look at the calendar, just keep celebrating everyday." 8."I dress up everyday and I don't wear blue jeans. I dress up even to mail a letter, you never know who you will meet along the way." 9.I have been active my whole life. An old Elizabeth Arden Ad said,"If you want to look like this when you are 40 start when you are 20." 10.I wake up every morning and say, "This is the day the lord has made."
