Body Jewelry: an unusual way of enhancing the beauty of your own bodyWritten by Angela Davis
Since ancient times body jewelry has been a part of culture and heritage of different religions. It has been known to be an essential part of clothing and appearance of people in many regions of world. At different parts of time through centuries it was also used to signify class demarcations prevalent in society at that point of time. How ever in recent times it has acquired a new dimension. Body jewelry has never been in such high demand. The human body is not merely a body, it is a piece of art which has its own innate beauty and body jewelry is perfect way to enhance beauty of your body. Not only can you decorate your body with it, but you can also use it to bring into focus certain parts of your body or to enhance beauty of certain parts. Body jewelry items are usually for particular places on human body. These more common places for body jewelry include nose, eyebrow, nipple, ear lobes and naval, along with ear plugs (both curved and straight barbells). As fashion trends keep changing, various parts where you can use body jewelry and manner in which you can use it also keeps changing. Nose body jewelry comes either in classic captive circular barbell, or in form of a nose screw. The nose screw can either be jeweled or plain, depending upon your preference. Eyebrow body jewelry is similar to that of nose, in sense that eyebrow body jewelry also has small captive barbell. This is now being made with a dangling, sparkling charm to hang from upper most part of your eyebrow barbell. The eyebrow body jewelry can be either curved or straight with a charm of any style or color dangling from top.

"Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has exactly same number of hours and minutes every day. Rich people can't buy more hours. Scientists can't invent new minutes. And you can't save time to spend it on another day. Even so, time is amazingly fair and forgiving. No matter how much time you've wasted in past, you still have an entire tomorrow." ~Denis WaitelyIf time were nothing more than an incidental commodity, it's doubtful that following phrases would clutter our everyday speech: A stitch in time… Lost time… Found time… Time is money. Compress time… Time stood still. The time of my life… The sands of time… Real-time… Killing time… As time goes by… Father time… Time is on our side. Time worked against her. Time is greatest leveler in universe. He or she who uses time wisely wins. Unfortunately, many have no grasp of time: they're always late, annoying daylights out of punctual—at best. It's interesting that those with no conception or appreciation of time seem to get leftover goods time and again. Yet, they never seem to make connection. Some even refuse to wear a watch! (I don't like jewelry—whine, whine, whine!) From Whence We Came The heavenly bodies—the stars, sun and moon—served as our first watches, and they predate sundial, first major advance in timekeeping, by eons. The watch's primary function remains to keep track of time. Modern watches originated as functional, portable, mechanical, clocks. 19th century watches were often carried in pocket, and included a protective cover, similar to cover on a woman's compact. Often, they were attached to clothing by a chain. Wristwatches entered marketplace in late 19th century as a woman's fashion accessory, and credit goes to Cartier for popularizing wristwatch with leather band.
