Rockras Yourself into A Brand New Year

I love the holidays. There are so many faboo events that require us to pull out those outfits we save for”¦well”¦the holidays. Just the right amount of sparkle, the perfect zootz of red (we don’t want to be too flashy, but also must say “I’m here and I’m sexy!), and the perfect piece of jewelry leave mouths agape.

But here’s the problem, ladies ““ I know it, and you know it. We have those classic pieces we love to sport at these glitzy “watch me walk in the room and drool” functions, but with so many at this time of year, we run out of jewelry fast. Really, you just can never have enough. And I personally like to wow the crowds with something new at every event, so that wonderful little piece I wore last week just will not do for next week. I know you know. We’ve all been there, and we’ve all felt the pain and anguish of “what do I do???”

Oh, I know what we need to do. We need to rock our worlds with some Rockras. Haven’t heard of Rockras? Ah, well, that’s what good ole Razi is here for, to guide you toward a new, hipper, more fabulous you. Rockras are “rocks for your Chakras,” which in a nutshell means “bling bling that will rock your world” and make you a better “you” all at the same time.

My old friend, Merriam Webster, told me that Chakras are “any of several points of physical or spiritual energy in the human body according to yoga philosophy.” I’m sure all you yoga buffs knew that one already, though. Certain gemstones are thought to have their own energy ““ their own something something ““ because of each stone’s unique structure, vibrating at a particular rate to produce certain effects. Some people believe that particular gemstones relate to the Chakras, coming together to create balance in the body.

Et voila, Rocks + Chakras = Rockras. I’ve never been good at math, but that is an equation that I understand. So, now that we’ve established these gemmy gems are good for our health and will bring us peace and balance, I’d love to point out that they’ll also make you the belle of the ball! Why? They’re GORGEOUS! We’re talking some serious stones here. My personal fave is the six carat aquamarine surrounded by diamonds in a handmade mounting ““ the aquamarine is thought to encourage calmness and love, increase mental focus, and the oval shape (shape of motherhood, the egg) of the stone combined with the stone’s properties is supposed to bring me some nuturing calm. Oh, it’ll bring me some nurturing calm alright. I’ll Rockras that baby from now until the next millennium!

Oh, but”¦the 57-carat blue topaz suspended from an 18K white gold chain is spectacular also! And so are the one-of-a-kind garnet briolette earrings hanging from white gold loops! Ok, it’s official. I have waaaaayyyyy too many favorites. Citibank is going to kick my rump about this one.

There’s no other way to say this ““ do yourself a favor, a little pat on the back inspirational gift for the New Year, and buy Rockras. If we’re all determined to make ourselves better people in 2006, why can’t we look unbelievably stunning doing it?
