Why choose us
Disclaimer :
Natural crystal, as the name implies, are products of nature. Any variations in texture, color, veining, and pattern are normal for natural crystal. The weight of natural crystal may also vary from one
another. These differences and disparities are part of what makes the crystals unique and beautiful.
All product images and pictures on our website are put in place to give you a general idea about the color and veining variations in the stone and product. Misconceptions sometimes occur because of the following reasons:
- Natural Stones usually vary as these all are rough stones under mother earth and are unidentical.
- Due to changes in lighting, a product may appear different in pictures than in real life.
- Different digital screens sometimes interpret colors differently (due to the nature of their technology ex: IPS, AMOLED etc.)
Cleanse the bracelet in cold running water when you receive for the first time and gently dry it with a towel
1Expose the bracelet to the moonlight by placing it on a selenite plate overnight to charge the crystals
2Burn some sage after your morning shower and use the smoke to smudge around the bracelet, setting positive intentions before wearing (Make your intentions as specific as possible but keep them realistic)

The increase in overall pollution that the planet has seen during the past few years has impacted the planet in such a way that it caused a ripple effect to happen in various domains. This is exactly why right now is the moment in which all of us must act, and this needs to reflect in both our temperaments and our actions. Just wishing for it doesn't make it true. It doesn't make it real. And every company across the world needs to take this into consideration, too. It's not just about the individual. It's about the community. It's about us.
With these words spoken, we can understand the first few aspects of the individual process and then move on to what companies can do from this point forward to become more environmentally friendly and conscious.
Actions speak louder than words do
One of the main aspects you can start on from this exact moment is to drive less. Instead, try using a bike to get to your destination or walk. If possible, of course. Were you meeting your friends in a couple of hours? Why not just walk there and prepare in advance? This is something that can be achieved easily as long as the distance isn't extreme.
Recycling is also a very impactful choice and action. Start by disposing of your waste in different bins around the house so you can always associate it with a different material. This is just something to help, of course, you can always sort through everything at the end of the week if you so wish.
Eating locally grown vegetables encourages and supports the local farmers and helps the environment in a way that might not be instantly visible, just like the previous choices were. However, it has a vital role in providing a better future for the next generation.
Companies becoming Environmentally Friendly
Before construction begins, try looking into environmentally friendly options such as investing in solar panels, wind energy, or any other renewable sources for energy that your company can benefit from. There are also drainage and water collection systems that can be used for plants and other green spaces.
If you're not, however, in the building stages and your company is already established. Take a look into creating an environmentally friendly space through the small choices.
- Invest less in paper, and try moving most documents into the Online Medium.
- Procure items from local manufacturers instead of importing.
- Encourage Public Transportation for your Employees by offering them Coupons or any other Motivating Source.
- Buying products that are biodegradeable also goes a long way.
Minimizing Waste
One of the smallest changes anyone can make this second is to stop using plastic straws. Either drink from the cup/mug or just use paper or metal straws. There are plenty of options nowadays to skip over this lousy habit entirely.
Nowadays, companies have started investing in recyclable or biodegradable materials for their products, such as shampoo bottles, shower gels, deodorants, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and so forth. Therefore, investing your money into such products is very helpful towards the environment.
Remembering to turn off the light when leaving a room can also reduce your electricity bill and improve your overall impact on the planet.
It starts with one single step
All you need is one push in the right direction to begin your eco-friendly journey. Start today, impact tomorrow, and the future generation. The planet is yours, ours, and we need to take care of it. Every action has a ripple effect. The way you act also impacts your peers. So behave eco-friendly, and you invite eco-friendly people into your life.

We all know that eating lunch out everyday can be a major money suck. Even if you keep things on the cheap side, you can still spend around $25/week, $100/month, $1200/year. Just think what you could do with that cash if you made the extra effort to take your lunch! The King has made a strong commitment to taking his lunch (and sometimes dinner, too since he works late on Mondays and Tuesdays) to work with him, both saving money and maximizing his working hours. We also pack the Eldest Princess' lunch during the school year which helps us save money and her eat much more healthfully (I am resisting my strong urge to go on a school lunch rant). But the questions remain, what should you pack? How much should you pack? And what can you do to shave a bit off the cost of bringing lunch from home?
1) What should you pack? Obviously leftovers are the top choice for most. I usually try to make enough for at least one extra serving at dinner for this very purpose. Sometimes this doesn't work, though. During temperate weather, I marinade and then grill an entire bag of frozen chicken on Mondays. That night we have a dish that features the chicken and then I chop the remaining breasts and store them in the fridge. It's simple to toss this great lean protein source into a salad, some pasta, or make it into a sandwich. I find that I'm at ease knowing that the chicken is always there as an option if we don't have enough leftovers.
2) What about beverages? Ditch the juice boxes, sodas, and water bottles. We were purchasing juice boxes to place in the Eldest Princess' lunch box and then toward the end of the year for both economical and ecological reasons chose to purchase a nice metal travel bottle that we pour bottled juice into instead. It saved us a couple of bucks/week (the bottle paid for itself in only a couple of weeks!) and she enjoyed having milk occasionally or water instead of juice, too. For big people, bring a reusable bottle of tea (my fav), water, or another beverage from home to cut costs. The King actually only drinks water and keeps cups at the office to drink from their filtrating system.
3) Be sure you have enough. Don't blow your lunch bringing strategy by packing too light. The last thing you want to do is to have a moment of weakness and pay 10x what you should on a vending machine purchase (and probably something you'll regret eating later, too). Pack snacks like fresh cut vegetables, whole fruits, whole grain crackers and cheese, whole raw nuts, string cheese, yogurt, or granola. Any one of these snacks will still be good later in the week if you don't get to them on the day you bring them with you.
4) Stash PBJ supplies at the office. If you can, keep a jar of peanut butter and fruit spread in your break room or desk. That way if push comes to shove, you can grab a couple of pieces of bread on the way out the door and have a simple lunch. And more than likely, you'll have a leftover snack from a day earlier in the week to pair with this childhood favorite. It's also a great idea to keep some instant oatmeal at work in case you have skipped breakfast because you were pinched for time.
5) Step away from the chips. As tasty as they are, chips and pretzels are not a wise lunch choice. Sure they taste great with your deli sandwich but they are both more expensive than fruits and veggies and leave you feeling hungry only an hour later causing you to eat and spend more in the long run. Choose high quality nutritional foods (lean meats and cheese, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, etc.) that take longer to digest so you stay full longer and keep the munchies at bay.
What about you? Do you have healthy tips for packing a money saving lunch?

President Trump on Friday unveiled more details of "Operation Warp Speed" – an effort to accelerate the development of a vaccine and medical treatments for the coronavirus by January.
"We're looking to get it by the end of the year if we can, maybe before," Trump said as top medical, military and Cabinet officials, many of them wearing face masks, joined him in the Rose Garden.
Trump compared the effort to the Manhattan Project – the World War II effort to build the first nuclear weapon.
"That means big and it means fast," Trump said. "We have the military totally involved."
Experts have noted that a timeline of even 12 to 18 months is optimistic. The first Food and Drug Administration-approved vaccine for the Ebola virus was not until December 2019 despite a peak in outbreaks between 2014 and 2016.
At present there are 14 promising vaccine candidates, Trump said, noting that it would be "risky" and "expensive," but that the federal government plans to invest in manufacturing the top candidates even before they are approved to eliminate any delay once approval happens.
Trump confirmed the names of leaders of the project. As NPR reported Thursday, former GlaxoSmithKline executive Moncef Slaoui will be the chief adviser to the effort. Slaoui's long career at the company included the chairmanship of GlaxoSmithKline's global vaccines division. He also was on the board of Moderna, a company with a coronavirus vaccine candidate. Moderna announced Friday that Slaoui has resigned from the board.
Gen. Gustave Perna, commander of the U.S. Army Materiel Command, will be the chief operating officer of the program.
Trump said the United States would work with other countries — even China — on the project to develop, manufacture and distribute a vaccine quickly.
"They're viewing us as the leader, and the relationship with other countries on solving this problem has been incredible," he said.
"We'll be very happy if they are able to do it," Trump said, speaking generally about other countries working on vaccines for the virus. "We have no ego when it comes to this."
The government will also ramp up production of vaccine supplies such as storage facilities, vials and syringes. Trump said the military would deploy "every truck, plane and soldier" to distribute the vaccine quickly once available.
Trump's remarks in the Rose Garden were accompanied by loud honking from nearby protesting truckers. "That's the sign of love, not the sign of your typical protest," the president said.
The truckers have been protesting for nearly two weeks against what they say are low pay rates, neither against nor in support of Trump. The group has requested a meeting with the president, according to media reports.
