Karmalogy Bracelets
I love to give and wear the Karmalogy Bead Bracelets from Luckyness. As I look down at my bracelet, it helps me to be aware of “Unexpected Miracles.” I realize that in each moment, it is solely our own responsibility to know that miracles do happen. This simple bracelet of agate and wooden karma beads lets you know that unexpected miracles can come into your life. I believe that certain stones can help us with certain issues. Each bracelet utilizes the healing energy of these semi-precious stones combined with carved wooden beads. They offer a gentle reminder of such blessings as good health, and inner strength, peace and joy, power and strength. Karma Bracelets come in a stylish package and on a wrist or ankle, they are a constant reminder of all the good that is around us. These amazing bracelets are created by the mother-daughter team, Marian and Robin respectively, who run Luckyness. They are the creators of life enhancing products and are believers in the power of their dreams. On their website they write: “I think at first your dreams seem so close and then at times they fade as life happens to go in the wrong directions. We went through a time where nothing went right and it seemed like all hope was lost. Then one day we took a stroll on the beach, allowing nature to give us all of its healing qualities. At the most divine moment, I stepped on a stone and Luckyness was born. The stone was in a perfectly carved shape of a heart.”
Their company offers some of the earth's finest gems and woods to give you the healing qualities for your everyday life. These bracelets are a great gift for a friend or for you. www.luckyness.com –SLM
Rari Teas–Blooming White Teas
I received a Rari Teas Asian tea set from a good friend recently, and it made my day. The gift came in a small box with a variety of individual tea 'bags' and its own clear glass teapot. Imagine tealeaves that are tied into a dried flower bud that blossom into a colorful underwater bouquet as it brews. Within minutes, I had a beautiful, fragrant flower in my teapot.
I brought a few to a friend's dinner party. They thought it was a fun concept. More importantly, the quality of these mild teas was excellent. Their many flavors begin with a base of white tea (which has been known to decrease LDL cholesterol, kill bacteria and is full of anti-oxidants) and are mixed with various flowers such as Marigold, Lily, Tea Tree, Jasmine and Chrysanthemum. This creates a unique flavor in every pot. Each flower/tea combination has a name such as Honesty, Spirituality and Generosity. The tea Civility is a mixture of white tea, marigold, jasmine and globosa. The result is a rainbow of colors inside the pot. Beautiful! Each bud is hand-formed and can be resteeped for three pots of refreshing and relaxing tea. The very center of the flower stays bundled, so there are no loose tea leaves. All flowers used are perfectly safe for consumption in the tea. Because they are so visually appealing, these teas are an excellent choice for a tea party, bridal shower or baby shower. They would also make an excellent gift. My teapot is sitting at my desk at work, and I am looking forward to my next cup of tea.
In appreciation of their service, Rari Teas is donating a percentage of profits to the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (www.nmcrs.com) until November 1st, 2007. www.rariteas.com. –DL
