The Man In Our Life

Yes! Let's admit it ladies, we do neglect them at times. I am so grateful that fashion has evolves tremendously including men in it too.

In conjunction with Father's Day, Vikki Lunez would like to thank the men in her life that is her daddy and the love of my life.

You complete my life. No doubt we constantly squabble especially me and daddy, you are still an integral part of my life.

For the love of my life, even though you are not a daddy yet, I still appreciate the time off your very busy traveling schedules. Even though the time we spent together is rather short, it is the most quality time ever!

Since there is no Men's Day, I will like to take this opportunity to pamper the love of my life too this Father's Day.

What shall I get them this Father's Day? Any suggestions?

Amethyst has been known as the most highly prized form of quartz. It is the presence of manganese in quartz that produces the purple color, and iron content varies the coloration. Amethyst may be found throughout the world; our specimens are from Brazil and Uruguay.

Amethyst, Mythological Maiden- Bacchus, the god of wine, declared in a rage that the first person he passes will be eaten by tigers. This turns out to be a beautiful maiden named Amethyst. The goddess Diana quickly turned Amethyst into a white stone to save her from the tigers. Regretting his anger, Bacchus poured red wine over the stone as an offering to Diana, so turning the stone purple. Amethyst has long been associated with relieving hangovers, or curing drunkenness, probably as a result of its wine-like color and the Bacchus tale.
