Mark it with a moon

I've always been a fan of dainty jewelry, and I'm a yogi. So when I stumbled upon gemagenta's moon necklace, I fell in love. I'll explain, because I know that my train of thought is not logical. I've been practicing yoga for several years, and one of my teachers likes to relate the phases of the moon to the intentions we set at the beginning of yoga practice. According to Ashtanga yoga, yogis should avoid practicing on moon days (full or new) since the moon affects our "prana," or balance. If you're interested in why, click here to learn more. Not sure if it's in my head, but I do feel the effects of the moon's pull during these particular days, and I've become more interested in the link between nature and feelings. 

The moon necklace captures all of this, and in a cute, dainty and personalized way. Lorena, the jewelry maker, custom makes each piece to commemorate special dates, engraving the lunar phase that corresponds to that memorable date, whether it's a birth, the-day-you-fell-in-love, engagement, new job or wedding date. The necklace is personalized on so many levels that it's hard to find a more unique piece (and at $33, it's a steal!).  

Maybe I should buy one to mark my first yoga session. What date would you choose?
