Emeralds For Mother’s Day


Whenever you go outside on busy streets, you will stumble across people that have their individual sense of fashion. You will find women wearing earrings, necklaces or rings with similar colors, giving you an oceanic feeling with various shades of blue and green. 

The hot season is just round the corner and it often makes a refreshing sight. If you wish to join the trend, you can get these emeralds for your Mother’s Day gift. If you’re unable to spend time looking for the perfect emerald stones, you can browse through the online stores as well. Emeralds are green and it is one of the hottest summer colors this year. 

Before you start shopping for gemstones, you must do some basic research on them. Gemstones are known to be symbolic and may sometimes possess mysterious powers. Traditionally, emeralds were worn to promote love, healing and contentment. These are some of the feelings you might want to pass on to your mother. There are different kinds of emeralds available in the market today. Some of them are synthesized and come with cracks in them. Any reputable jeweler should be able to tell you the difference between a real emerald and a fake stone. If quality is important to you, then you must always purchase your gemstones from reputable stores. While making a purchase, always ask the jeweler if the stones are treated, the kind of treatments and whether the treatments are permanent or not.

Natural and synthetic emeralds tend to have the same chemical composition and it makes it hard to differentiate them. If you are looking for affordable emerald jewelry then it would be suggestive to opt for fake emeralds, however if money is not a concern then you must always choose the natural gemstones.

Interflora Flooded With Complaints Over Flower Deliveries On Mother’s Day


Interflora, a British floral company has been forced to issue more than 100 apologies after consumers started citing complains on social networking websites. It is said that the bouquets ordered from Interflora were simply dumped at the doorsteps; some of them infested with bugs and some did not appear at all.

There are hundreds of angry consumers from all across the world. People bought expensive flowers for their mothers, for the Mother’s Day celebrations in Britain. Most consumers got a confirmation email that their requested flowers have been delivered, which was never the case. It left the daughters in tears, while the mothers eagerly waited for the flowers.

Everyone wanted to make their mothers feel special, only if the flowers could have arrived on time. When they tried to reach the floral agency, they kept saying that the flowers were delivered and a small percentage of the orders had a problem. With more than 300 people complaining about the flower bouquets, it seems to be a lame excuse.

Online forums and social networking sites were filled with complains over flower deliveries. A customer called Margaret Hall took the issue on Facebook, complaining that the flowers shown on the web pages are very different from the ones, which are actually delivered.

Interflora just sent out a simple message to all the upset customers “Please accept our heartfelt apologies and someone from the customer service team will look into this”. There was no statement issued by the company, despite making multiple attempts to reach them.

Happy Mother's Day



Moms have a lot of roles. They all wonder if they’re doing a good job, being there when we need them and loving enough. They don’t concern themselves with the crazy hours, the little amount of appreciation or the lack of pay. They want to hear that they’re doing right for their kids.

I truly believe that moms are amazing and it is time we appreciate their efforts. Here are some points that separate them from the lot.


Moms work 25 x 8

They always squeeze an extra day or an extra hour a day, yet there is always something more to do. She is a health care provider; a shopper, an educator, a nutritionist, specialist, cook, chauffeur, sports enthusiast, bottle washer, bodyguard, spiritual counselor and these are just some of her roles. Between all these roles, she remains a silent yet a productive employee, a wife and a mother. 


Moms have endurance

From the last few days of pregnancy to the baby’s birth, moms have a lot of endurance. They possess unmatchable strength, living with a new life. Kids are usually hurt, mentally or physically. Moms are always there to offer a smile, a hug or just for those comforting words. It doesn’t matter if the moms are tired; they are always there to offer sincere attention. 

 Moms are great educators

After a hard day at work, moms have to serve as tutors. They are experts in time management - whether it is your piano lessons, swim practice, soccer games, and field trips or play dates, moms are always there. Also, an applause to their cheerleading skills, regardless of how good or how worse their kid is at something.

Impress Your Mother With A Family Dinner

Deck the halls and the holiday table with the right decorations to make any holiday meal even more appetizing. A simple yet stunning centerpiece, candles, and the proper flatware are all you need to festively adorn your table.

1. I like to use a simple white tablecloth with a contrasting place-mat. Use name cards for a sophisticated formal touch.


2. The simplest ideas are the best ones, especially with all you have to do during the holidays, so take a minimalist approach to flowers for your table. Instead of doing an arrangement of different flowers, which can be difficult, pick one type of flower and do a large mass of them. It will look dramatic yet understated. Or, pick one color scheme, like orange, and mix all types of flowers with the same hue. Another idea is to mix bunches of herbs in with the flowers: sage imparts the perfect color and aroma during spring. Try mint in the spring and basil in the summer. For a modern approach, place single flowers in small vases and arrange the vases in the center or down the table. A clear vase filled with colored ornamental bulbs also makes a nice centerpiece.


3. Don’t forget vibrant and aromatic seasonal fruits and vegetables. Use them whole and uncooked to garnish holiday platters or to grace ornamental fruit bowls. Fruit arrangements can be stunning and made in lieu of or in combination with flowers. Try floating flowers in a bowl of water with sliced or whole seasonal fruits, such as kumquats and cranberries during the fall and winter, or strawberries and blueberries during the spring and summer. Harvest corn and seasonal gourds like pumpkins and squash also make colorful and festive harvest baskets, perfect for any traditional table centerpiece. For a contemporary look, use squash in the same hue, like pale green; coat the squash with a shiny layer of lacquer for added vibrancy and place in dark brown bowls. Offset the centerpiece with white table linens and china.

4. Candles—from large decorative sconces to small tea lights—create instant atmosphere. Let the flame sparkle against your fine crystal or clear glass creating an ethereal and intimate atmosphere. For a clean modern look, fill a small glass vase or bowl with water and float a small candle, cranberries, and sliced kumquats in it.


5. Use your best silverware or simple silver cutlery. Remember to lie out all the proper flatware for the courses you plan to serve. Always place the utensil one will use first furthest from the plate, such as an appetizer fork or soupspoon. Lay the forks on the left side of the plate: first the appetizer fork, then the salad fork, and last the entrĂ©e fork, closest to the plate. The knife, with the sharp edge facing towards the plate, fish knife, and soup spoon are set to the right of the plate, in that order from left to right. Dessert forks and spoons go at the top of the plate. And don’t forget the butter knife, which lies atop the bread plate, blade facing the center of the bread plate, above the forks on the left. Drinks go above the knives to the right of the plate.

6. Place a nice folded linen napkin neatly to the left of the forks for formal occasions or on top of the plate for less formal gatherings.
