My sister-in-law Juvvy and I share the love and interest for crystal bracelets.  It was something that we discovered about each other when I noticed her wearing one and then I showed her mine. Since then we been talking about crystal bracelets, and as luck would have it, we have a common friend who shares our love for crystals (and makes them herself too).  Juvvy lamented ... READ MORE

The Yellow Energy that is Citrine

We were at Greenhills last weekend, and I couldn't take my eyes off these high-quality, authentic citrine bracelets being sold at my favorite feng shui shop, Bensani Charms: I took photos of the bracelets using my phone (Lenovo K900) and I think I wasn't able to adjust the settings 'cos the citrine beads ended up in deep shade of golden yellow - almost like amber.  In ...

Bensani Charms

I was reacquainted with my love with feng shui jewelry when I sat down with Grace (of Bensani Jewelry) over coffee and donuts last month, for a possible collaboration with The Bright Spot.

A Different Kind of “Diamond” Earrings

12.14.2013 by Leah // 4 Comments

I've been frequently wearing this 3-year old earrings of mine (that I had custom-made) because of the way they sparkle and shine. Perfect for Christmas! I always get compliments every time I wear this pair.  Others are curious to find where did I find such "yellowish" diamonds, especially the chunky ones in the middle. But guess what?  These are not diamond earrings!  ... READ MORE

#tbt Day trip to Oxford University in June 2019. I #tbt Day trip to Oxford University in June 2019. It rained that day so we bought a brolly in one of the shops we found, and continued our walking tour. I got the one with Oxford University logo to serve as souvenir as well 😁 Behind me is Christ Church, one of the famous Oxford colleges, that served as the "Great Hall" in many Harry Potter films. Unfortunately, it was closed to tourists that day. Still, it was an amazing day and such a memorable trip that I hope we can do again in not so far future🤞 #throwbackpost #whencanwetravelagain #england #Oxfordshire #oxforduniversity
