Yves Saint Laurent’s textured gold Arty rings are absolute...

(via quartz crystal point necklace by NatalieKucken on Etsy)

First Jewelmint order ever! :) :) I’m excited.

Newest love for summer:  leather earrings. I love their colors, texture, large size—pretty much everything about them. You can basically create anything out of a square of leather and make them any color you want to boot, whether by using colored leather or slapping on some pretty paint.

I’m pretty drawn to the feather shaped earrings, as well as the tassels. I recently purchased a pair feather earrings from CyclonaDesigns and can’t wait for them to arrive!

Here are some of my favorites…

1. Cliolunia; 2. CyclonaDesigns; 3. EarthArtistry; 4. TheifandBandit;
5. FlagMountain; 6. TomGirl

Grab some and have fun, ladies!

How animals are being rescued with so much passion in Japan

Non-non with her owner. Her owner was devastated when she visited her house, which was completely damaged but Non-non came out of the stairs & started meowing.

Cat Island - this is a place where too many cats & old people lived. It's intact but they all need help & food.
This is the woman who refused to go without her dog Yosuke, because officials wouldn't let take her dog. She didn't leave her pet & after 3 days, they were both rescued.
This man was reunited with his dog. It even came out in the papers. You can clearly see how much the owner loves his baby.
The loyal dog who didn't leave his friend in rubble of earthquake & tsunami

I have been reading several stories of how animals have been rescued in Japan. Everything points only in 1 direction – Japanese are not just hard working people, they also care about animals.

However, situation is bad for animals in Sendai. They are preparing a team to go there with food & supplies. There have been rumors that animals will be euthanized in several areas but it’s far from truth. They have confirmed that no animal will be euthanized. Moreover, they are also trying to create temporary shelters at Animal Friends Niigata to house animals besides trying to reunite lost pets with their owners.

Japan is a nation of pet lovers. Most families have a dog or cat, birds, a rabbit, or other pets in their apartments. At first people had no news about Cat Island which but people & cats of the island have been rescued but need help & food. The small island in Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture, is also home to many cats & old people. A shrine also exists there which is dedicated to cats.

They also encountered a woman who refused to evacuate as the officials wouldn’t allow her to take her dog Yosuke with her. She didn’t leave Yosuke behind & stayed with the dog in her shaking house for 3 days & the good news is that both of them are okay.

Many people have seen the video of a dog wouldn’t leave his injured friend in the rubbles. Both of them are safe now.

A woman went back to her house to search for her cat. The house was entirely destroyed but thank God, her cat Non-non survived as she was upstairs. The cat was a bit shaken but it’s good to know that Non-non too is safe now with her owner. Another man was reunited with his injured pet dog & that pic can make you cry. I hardly see that kind of compassion for humans here & these people even love their animals like mad.

I’m really proud of Japan & it’s people. I think Japan has set an example for the rest of the world which keeps blabbing when hit by disasters. Japanese are not just fighting with this natural disaster with honor, but they have proud they are one of the most compassionate nations. We sign zillions of petitions in which healthy animals in pretty okay places are being killed & tortured for no reason. I wonder what would they do if some natural calamity hits them. I don’t think such inhuman people can learn anything from Japan but I can’t help ignoring their evil deeds at the moment.

I have a Japanese friend & she has been telling us what’s going on in Japan every day. Places have been completely wiped off. You can’t call any place safe but these people haven’t given up & they are fighting.

Please continue to pray for them. Disasters could happen to anyone.

Bulgaria is nothing but hell for animals

This is something that happens in Bulgaria every day. Even prominent journalists believe that love for animals is illegal & so they think it’s okay to torture & kill animals on a daily basis.

I’m sorry for sharing these graphic pics but I don’t see any way of expressing myself. I just don’t have words. Go through this entire album on FB & you would know what I mean. This is so fucked up. Animals deserve love & respect & these people have crossed all the limits; they insult humanity every day & it just goes on.

They kill healthy animals just like that. It means nothing. I think even hell would be a lot better, cause God can never be unfair. I’m simply ashamed of humans. There is no hope.

What a sad pic!

You could clearly see sadness in the eyes of this poor dog. It’s true we cannot help each & every animal in this world, but we can contribute little bit.

Lately we did contact some organization abroad & that guy showed interest but he asked us to contact some Pakistani representative who would know more about the country & could help easily. Building a proper animal shelter is indeed a tough job. But we know vets who are willing to help & these vets know people who are willing to donate. What we need is some space. Anyhow, Pakistanis have no passion whatsoever. Every Pakistani representative gives us the email of another representative. Fine. You cannot move your ass. We get the picture.

It’s saddening that people are working in such organizations & they don’t want to help out animals at all in their own country. Now we have to contact that other guy again.

I also know some other people who try to help out animals, but even they say they are all alone in it. Either people do big talk or they give you emails of other people. How can you bring about a change with this kind of approach? A particular person for the past 3 years has been running from pillar to post & nothing has been done. This must be so depressing for her.

You can only provide home to 30 or 40 animals in your house, but that’s it. We can’t accommodate hundreds of animals. In these so-called posh areas, they kill dogs just like that. And, for the most part, those dogs are not even dangerous. We used to give food to some dogs & puppies & they were all killed by these bastards. I wonder if there is an end to this madness.

Harry Potter pets

This is such a cute idea. I’m a fan of Harry Potter, but my siblings can’t stand Harry Potty. That’s what they call him. This is one of the reasons why I hardly get to watch the movies on it. However, I don’t like J. K. Rowling as such. She very conveniently steals from here & there, & then she gets away with it as well. And to this day I can’t understand as to why Dumbledore was shown gay in the last book. Moreover, J. K. Rowling was seen wearing T-shirt that read Dumbledore is gay. What could be more absurd than that! It just didn’t look good on her. I don’t think bad of gays. I’m totally on their side, but I don’t think this kind of change was required in the book. Plus her obsession with Holy Grail & depicting Harry as someone having royal-cum-pure blood was annoying. But anyway, she has written good books after stealing from others.
