June Birthstone - Alexandrite

June Birthstone - Alexandrite

Alexandrite is another birthstone of June (see Pearl for June here). 
What's so special about this stone? It changes color (alexandrite effect) dependent upon the lighting, from teal to magenta
Alexandrite is associated with balancing the mind and emotions, and it helps to achieve calm and works as an anti stress amulet.
Natural alexandrite is extremely rare thus extremely expensive) But you can always afford a lab created alexandrite jewelry or Swarovski crystals:

Going to Greece

Going to Greece
If you plan to go to Greece you'll need thw following with you:
* sunglasses
* sun protection, if you're blond, you'll need a sun protection for you hair too
* 2 swimsuits (for a change and to combine tops and bottoms)
* flip flops 
* many tank tops, the lighter the better - today we have +38, I've already changed 2 tops))
* jean shorts - because they are so comfy, there's no need to iron them and you can wear them day and night
* Greek girls love maxi dresses -they hide the unperfect body parts, and with certain accessories/shoes can be used in both night and day outfit. Personally I prefer short sun dresses...
* the nights (especially in the islands) can be realy windy, you'll need a pashmina or some light cardigan
Size and shape of bags, shoes, hats, accessories - it depends on where exactly you're going and how you plan to spend your vacations
* if you plan to visit archeological sights, you'll need some comfortable shoes
