Hello ladies and gem-tlemen! My name is
Brittany Barker(that's me with the serious finger candy above), but you can call me BB. I am honored and ecstatic to be a
brand spankin new Gem Steady intern! Allow me to give you a small glimpse into
BB’s world before we dive into a sea of jewels together. I am a 21-year-old
Cincy native currently studying journalism and fashion at UC. My uncanny wit
almost exceeds my love for music and kittens. My favorite guilty pleasures are
bacon, vintage clothing, 70’s pop music, drawing obscure creatures, Jillian
Michaels’ workout DVD’s and mojitos.
Now enough about boring old me, lets talk
about some purple rocks that will really knock your socks off! You may know my
darling little friend amethyst as the purple stunner of the quartz family,
however the power of amethyst stretches beyond its beauty.
Amethyst promotes tranquility, is a natural stress reliever and wards
off negative energy. Simply placing your favorite amethyst piece under your
pillow or rubbing it across your forehead could aide in relaxation and calm the
entire body. Amethyst is said to target the endocrine system, which is a series
of glands that distribute hormones throughout the entire body. The endocrine
system also controls mood and the desire to sleep among many other important
bodily functions.
In addition to amethyst’s relaxation benefits, it has been used
throughout history to prevent overindulgence and it promotes purity. Ancient
Greeks and Romans drank from amethyst goblets to prevent intoxication. Tired of
being the person who wipes out on the dance floor before midnight? Slip on a
little amethyst before your next night on the town. Stay tuned to learn more
about the amazing healing power of your favorite gems!
