I am not sure if I feel like celebrating or crying. Today is my last post in the Blogathon For The Cure. I reached my goal of blogging about breast cancer awareness for fourteen days… each post took eight hours.Let's raise a glass; not just for this humantarian inititative, but to those who live with, survived or died to Breast Cancer.All our lives it seems in some way have been touched by this disease.
Olivier Durbano creates jewels and (for your throat) for your nose based on principals of chakra healing. and the meaning of gemstones. My favorites are Amethyst (PURPLE) and Turquoise. Olivier's 6th was Pink Tourmaline reviewed by Mark Behnke)". and I recently reviewed the final 8th in the series… Citrine.
I chose this painting for many reasons, not just because it is one of my favorite of Olivier's pefumes , but also because turquoise is the birthstone of December; in numerology being born on 13th it's my lucky color (my unlucky number is black which is practically all I wear; note to self wear less black and more turquoise) and its a unisex fragrance, which reminds us that Breast Cancer is Not a for women only disease.
Sorcery of scent: Dimi this is for a breast cancer raising project and I have linked your site; we should exhange links. Olivier would be happy
This is Cafleurebon's final post for breast cancer awareness and as such it would be assigned #9 in numerology; which according to numerology, as a team (Elise Pearlstine has just joined us to write about natural ingredients so I havent put her name on the masthead yet ) we are worldly, sophisticated, non judgemental; the #9 is the most globally conscious and least political of all numbera. Since this has been my personal project and I spent many hours researching the healing powers of chakras and aromatherapy for breast cancer awareness, I neglected to find out about my life path numerology. So as a #7 here is mine.

The 7 Life Path is the searcher and seeker of truth. You have a clear and compelling sense of yourself. As a result, your goal is devoted to investigations into the unknown, and to finding the answers to the mysteries of life.You possess a fine mind; you are an analytical thinker who is capable of great concentration and theoretical insight. You enjoy research and putting the pieces of an intellectual puzzle together.
Once you have enough pieces in place, you are capable of highly creative insight, and of practical solutions to problems.You enjoy your solitude, preferring to work alone. You need time to contemplate your ideas without the intrusion of other's people's thoughts. You are a lone wolf, a person who lives by your own ideas and methods

I was contacted by Karine Vinot of BTC French Gifts about a new line of home diffusers. Each of the seven Ut Olem Venum celebrate the fine wines of Italy and are hand made made by the company's owners two Italian oenophiles- brothers Simone and Matteo Scaglietti (nephews of the famous car designer Sergio Scaglietti). After a phone conversation with her colleague Nicole about CaFleurebon's breast cancer awareness blogathon,we selected Fragolino Home Diffuser . Fragolino is kown as the "champagne of Italian wines", Fragolino mixes fruity strawberries, apples and exotic fruits with honey, musk and Moroccan oranges. I am sure Karine had no idea that her donation and the diffuser that I thought was the most to my taste would inspire the title for this post
