Eminem Makes His Grammy Statement with Jewelry February 16, 2011
Posted by Jill Renee in : Buying Jewelry , add a commentDetroit superstar rapper Eminem made a strong statement at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday night by wearing a necklace displaying the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) symbol. The necklace along with his new album entitled Recovery demonstrates how seriously Eminem is taking his sobriety. Eminem seems to be winning his struggle with an addiction to alcohol and pain killers, which is an important step to regaining his rapping technique. Eminem walked into the Grammy Awards with ten nominations and won the awards for Best Rap Solo Performance and Best Rap Album. He stole the show with exhilarating performances with Rihanna and Dr. Dre. It will be exciting to watch Slim Shady and his ingenious rapping as he continues to work in a clear state of mind.
Happy Chinese New Year! February 3, 2011
Posted by Jill Renee in : Jewelry , add a commentThe Chinese calendar is based on solar and lunar cycles and the New Year celebration correlates with the fifteen days it takes for the moon to transform from a new into a full moon. It is said that the Chinese New Year is similar to the Western Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year packed into fifteen days. These fifteen days of celebration will commence this evening with families feasting together while the new moon rises in the dark night sky.
All over the world, people of Chinese and Vietnamese decent have prepared for this day with a diligent cleaning of the home in order to sweep away any ill-fortune that may have existed in the family. They carefully prepare the home and several traditional meals to bring in good luck, happiness, and longevity. The next fifteen days will be spent forgiving foes and visiting friends while the moon grows larger overhead. Gifts of food, crafts, jewelry and good luck money are shared with children and neighbor alike. Danforthdiamond.com offers a great selection of jewelry to add to your wish list! Check out the gold nugget earrings – they are my favorite!
This year we return to the luckiest zodiac sign of all, the year of the rabbit! Those born in the year of the rabbit are articulate and talented, affectionate, yet shy. Zodiac symbols provide a fascinating insight on oneself and offer a time for self reflection. Still searching for gift ideas? Offer someone the wish of good luck with a good luck charm from Danforthdiamond.com! On the fifteenth day the celebration will culminate with the traditional Festival of Lanterns to ring in the Chinese New Year! Children of all ages send hundreds of red and gold lanterns into the sky wishing one last time for peace and happiness to be brought to all in the New Year.
