"Taught from infancy that beauty is woman's sceptre, the mind shapes itself to the body, and roaming round its gilt cage, only seeks to adorn its prison." ~Mary McLaughlin
Break FREE from the gilt cage!!
'Human body is a sacred temple. Love is sacred. Every heart touched with love heals, and prospers. Never let any one go without being attended to with compassion and love. Seva is your noble dharma'. Dr. K.L.Sahi
Every day is a fashion show and the world is your runway. Coco Chanel
BE YOU, one of a kind classy, strong, shining, smiling, savvy, and stylish
Certain things catch your eye, But pursue only those that capture your heart.
Jewellery that makes you sparkle and captures your desires, and dreams
A sacred space where LOVE resides, LAUGHTER is shared, TEARS are wiped, FRIENDS are welcomed, MEMORIES are created...
