Terrigenisis Series Masterlist

It’s the night of Tony’s party and you are in your room getting ready. You exit the bathroom after a shower to see a gift box on your bed. It’s wrapped in a blue bow and you know it can only be from two certain men. The note reads “To the most beautiful woman in any galaxy, please wear this tonight. We love you.” Inside you find a beautiful dress. It’s blue and has a style reminiscent of the 40s. You do yourself up and put on the dress. A knock on the door has you grinning as you answer it.

“Wow. You look beautiful.” Steve says, returning your grin.

“Beautiful doesn’t even begin to cover it.” Bucky charms.

“It’s a good start,” you kiss each of them. “I love the dress. Thank you.”

“It looks great on you, doll.”

The party tonight was one of Tony’s penthouse parties at the tower. Only family, partners, and close friends were invited. After arriving, the three of you made rounds greeting everyone. You’re excited when you finally make it to Sam.

“Hey Sam! Wanna introduce the beauty on your arm?” you grin widely.

“Of course,” Sam puffs out his chest as he motions to her, “This is my girlfriend, Kaziah.” He gives her each of your names and you spend twenty minutes or so chatting with all of them. Kaziah is sweet and you enjoy meeting her immensely. You are distracted a few minutes later when Loki strolls in wearing an all black suit.

“Well, don’t you look like a million bucks!” you hug his neck as he chuckles.

“You like it?” Loki preens.

“Very much. You look great. Are you still planning to go back to Asgard tomorrow?”

“Yes. And before you ask, yes, I’m going to tell her.”

“Yay. I look forward to your return and hearing how it went. Can I introduce you around a bit?”

“Lead the way.” Loki offers his arm.

You guide him to different groups introducing him, smoothing any ruffled feathers, and making him feel comfortable in the setting. Loki relaxed as the evening passed. You enjoyed yourself, spending most of your time with Steve and Bucky, dancing, eating, drinking, and having fun with your friends and people you know and trust. It was fun.

A couple of hours in, you notice Kaziah sitting by herself on one of the couches. Sam is in a group nearby with Rhodey and a few others cutting up. You grab an extra glass of champagne and sit beside her, holding out the drink to her, “Are you enjoying yourself?”

“Yeah, there is always that little bit of awkwardness when you don’t know many people.” Kaziah flashes a nervous smile.

“I understand,” you laugh, “I was basically dropped on the team with no warning, having never met any of them.”

“Wow. But it worked out? You’re dating Bucky and Steve?” She asks.

“It worked out better than I ever hoped. And, yes, we are in a relationship together. We know it’s not conventional, but we’re very happy.”

“I saw you with Loki earlier. Are you with him also?” Kaziah asks carefully.

“No. Loki is a good friend and we train together. He’s a really good guy once you get to know him.” You happen to catch his eye across the room and he smiles at you. That’s when you feel the ice pick to your head and immediately open your mind to him.

“You’re needed in the rooftop garden, darling.” Loki’s voice drifts into your mind.

“What? Why?” You asked confused.

“I don’t know. I was just asked to relay the message quietly.” Loki’s chuckle echoes through your head and you grin.

“What was that? It looked like you were having a conversation.” Kaziah asks curiously.

“Oh, nothing,” you answer evasively, “Will you excuse me?”

“Uh, of course.” Kaziah looks confused.

“It was nice talking to you.”

“You, too.”

You head to the elevator while looking for Steve and Bucky but, not finding them, you shrug and hit the button for the rooftop. Suspicion and curiosity curl in your stomach as the elevator goes up. When the doors open, you notice a trail of petals leading into the garden. You smile as you follow it.

Steve and Bucky had spent most of the day of Tony’s party shopping for you. They found the perfect dress to give you fairly quickly but finding the perfect engagement ring had proven nearly impossible. They didn’t know what they were looking for exactly but everything they were shown just wasn’t the one. It had to be perfect. As they visited the sixth jewelry store, they knew time was running out. The proprietor showed them several options but then, recognizing both men, he smiled and kindly suggested they check the antique store next door. He told them his brother was the owner and he kept a beautiful selection of estate jewelry.

Steve and Bucky weren’t sure what he meant by estate jewelry but since they weren’t having any luck at traditional jewelry stores they decided to give it a try. The owner greeted them immediately and guided them to the jewelry case while offering to show them anything they’d like to see.

“Buck.” Steve’s eyes go wide as a ring catches his attention.

“That one? It’s not very traditional.” Bucky asks.

“Neither are we.” Steve chuckles.

“You’re right about that. And the ring. It’s perfect,” he turns to the owner, “Can we see that one?”

“Of course. It’s one of a kind. I’ve never seen another like it. It came from a family in upstate New York. I thought it was a lovely piece.” He hands over the ring nestled in a small heart shaped box.

“This is it.” Steve says.

“It’s perfect,” Bucky agrees.

They paid for the ring and exit wearing grins. Tony had agreed to help them with the proposal and was having the rooftop garden turned into a paradise. Now they just had to get you to the roof and the rest would fall into place.

The trail of petals leads you into the center of the rooftop garden where your men stand with smiles. Bucky and Steve are both handsome in their suits. A small table of desserts and champagne are off to one side. The garden is filled with lights and candles. There are blooming flowers everywhere and you have no idea what is happening.

“What is all this?” you ask, all smiles.

“We wanted tonight to be special.” Bucky says.

“It’s beautiful,” you smile but tremble as nerves set in. What could this be about?

“Doll, we love you. You’re the love of our lives and this relationship is everything we ever wanted. So, we have something we want to ask you.” Steve says. He and Bucky take a knee in tandem and each take one of your hands.

“Will you marry us?” Bucky asks, looking up at you with a grin but you see the fear behind his eyes. You look at Steve and recognize the same expression on him.

“M-marry? You want to, to ,to get married? To me?” you stammer.

“Yes.” They say in perfect unison.

They hold up a ring and you stare at it mouth agape. A star sapphire set in a halo of diamonds. The ring was obviously a vintage piece and it was the most beautiful piece of jewelry you’d ever seen.

“You’re serious?” you breathe as tears flood your eyes.

“Yes.” Bucky says.

“Absolutely. Please marry us. We love you so much.” Steve says.

“Yes! Yes, of course I’ll marry you! Yes! I love you both. So much.” You exclaim as the men surge to their feet and swing you around. When your feet touch the ground again, Bucky takes the ring out of the box and places it on your finger.

“It’s a star sapphire since both mine and Bucky’s symbol is a star.” Steve explains.

“Blue because honesty always comes first in our relationship.” Bucky says.

“Surrounded by diamonds because our love will always surround you.” Steve continues.

“And antique because you’re marrying two old men.” Bucky chuckles.

You laugh but stare at the ring that they chose with admiration, “It’s perfect. Thank you.”

“Let’s toast to our engagement.” Bucky goes to open the bottle of champagne. The three of you share champagne, strawberries, and cake as they tell you about how they decided to ask you and their day of shopping to find the perfect ring.

You stare at it saying, “I never thought I’d get married again. I just assumed in this relationship we’d just be together.”

“You are okay with getting married, right?” Steve asks.

“Yes! I want to marry both of you. I guess it will be more of a commitment ceremony since we can’t legally get married,” you explain.

“Actually, I’ve been thinking about it and I think you and Steve should get married legally and we can have a commitment ceremony for the three of us. There would be a lot of protection for you in being Mrs. Rogers.” Bucky states.

“I’m… I won’t be changing my name. I never did with Charlie.”

“You don’t have to. Bucky, you hadn’t said anything about this before. Are you sure?” Steve asks.

“Yes. It just makes sense. If you’re okay with it, doll.” Bucky says.

“I get it from a legal standpoint but no matter what the THREE of us will be married,” you smile.

Steve nods, “While we’re on our honeymoon, Tony is going to renovate our rooms into an apartment. We just have to pick a date. We-”

“We can go over all the details later,” you interrupt Steve. “Right now, I’d like to go to our room and celebrate with less clothing on.”

“I love the way you think,” Bucky says as he helps you to stand and kisses you.

Steve grabs the bottle of champagne and bowl of strawberries, “I’m sure we’ll work up an appetite.” He winks and kisses you.

You can’t keep your hands off each other in the elevator and find yourself sandwiched between the two men with their lips wandering over every expanse of exposed skin. You stumble into the guest room the three of you are staying in and gasp. The room is full of flowers, a small table covered in candles and food, another bottle of champagne, three fluffy robes with your names embroidered on them and matching slippers, a wedding planning book, and a note of congratulations from Tony and Pepper.

“This is so sweet! They are so thoughtful.” you exclaim.

“They definitely know we plan to work up an appetite.” Bucky chuckles.

“We should get to it. Unzip me?” you whisper.

“My pleasure.” Bucky complies and gently guides the dress down for you to step out of it. You’re wearing a beautiful lingerie set complete with garter and heels and both men devour you with their eyes. You sit on the end of the bed, lean back on your arms and cross your legs while eyeing the two.

“Naked. Now,” you say playfully.

“Yes, ma’am,” Bucky grins as they shuck their clothing quickly. When both stand before you gloriously naked you look them up and down, licking your lips. You go to them and put a hand on each of their chests before lowering yourself to your knees. You stroke both of their cocks and take turns swirling your tongue around each of their heads.

“You’re both so good to me. I love you so much. I love fucking both of you.” You make comments each time you switch between them and they’re both looking at you with a feral expression as you praise and tease them.

“Fuck, doll.” Bucky says as he grabs you and pulls you to your feet, “Get up here.” His mouth claims yours and Steve is behind you in an instant, removing your bra, cupping your breasts and kissing your shoulders. You feel his hard length pressed to your ass and Bucky’s pressed to your mound. You moan loudly as their hands and mouths wander over you, divesting you of your lingerie..

“I… I want to try something,” you moan.

“Anything, sweetheart. What do you want?” Steve asks with his lips against your neck.

“I want you both inside me. Both inside me at the same time.” You say breathlessly.

“You mean, both of us inside your pussy, doll?” Bucky clarifies.

“Please. Want to feel all of us together.” You whimper.

“If it’s too much, you have to tell us, doll. Don’t let us hurt you.” Steve says as he picks you up and carries you to the bed. “Promise?”

“I promise.” you agree as he lays you in the middle of the bed.

“Fuck, that’s hot. I want inside you so bad.” Bucky groans from behind you, both men are flush against your front and back. He pulls your leg up and runs his fingers through your slick folds. He dips two fingers inside to ensure that you’re ready. A third finger is added and you moan loudly.

“Bucky, please. I need you. Please!” You beg.

Bucky’s head finds your entrance and slowly presses in. You stare into Steve’s eyes as you grab Bucky and encourage him on. Bucky thrusts into you a few times languidly, working your pleasure and coating himself in your slick. “Come on, Stevie. Our girl’s ready for you.”

Steve slides his cock against you to coat himself before slowly pressing his head in. You gasp at the sensation.

“Okay?” Steve groans.

“Yes, it’s good. Don’t stop.” you moan and then cry out as Bucky gives a gentle thrust.

“Fuck, baby, feeling both of you is so hot.” Steve groans.

“Then don’t stop. Keep going, please.” You whisper.

“Move, Stevie. We need it.” Bucky groans.

Steve presses in by millimeters and keeps checking in. You feel so incredibly full and the pleasure is immense. When Steve stops again, you begin to roll your hips, loving the friction of feeling both of them in you.

“Oh, fuck.” Bucky moans as he takes a gentle bite out of your shoulder.

“I can feel both of you. Fuck, it’s so hot.” Steve says as he begins to move with you.

Your moans mingle as you cling to each other and writhe in pleasure.

“Oh, God. I’m…” the words fail you as your body shakes with the orgasm. The intensity nearly takes your breath and once it subsides you feel it immediately begin to build again.

“You’re trembling and clenching so tight, doll. You’re so fucking perfect for us. So perfect. Fuck, can’t believe we found you. Love you so much.” Bucky groans as he begins to move a little more quickly.

“Buck! Can feel you. Feels so good. You both feel so good. Want it to be like this forever.” Steve moans.

You’re trembling uncontrollably. The words, the men, the intense pleasure are enveloping you, body, mind, and soul. You cry out as you fall over the precipice again. Your body shudders and your hips move of their own volition.

“Oh, fuck. Fuck.” Bucky groans as he releases inside of you.

Steve’s hands cup your face and he kisses you intensely before his own orgasm overtakes him and he presses his forehead to yours. As he comes down from the high, he whispers to you, “Bucky’s always been right about you. You’re perfect for us.”

“You are. You’re perfect for us.” Bucky says, wrapping an arm around both of you.

You lift your hand and look at the ring that sparkles on it, “We’re perfect together.”

Zodiac Personality

Sign: Pisces

Description: The Pisces man has the heart of a poet and the soul of a mystic, thanks to his dreamy water sign.

These Neptune-ruled visionaries love to dive deep and are never content to stay in shallow water – emotionally, spiritually, or intellectually. Small talk doesn’t interest them at all, and you’ll find that even upon meeting them for the first time, a Pisces man will ask you penetrating questions about yourself and your life for hours. It may take awhile before you notice that, though they know everything about you, you still know almost nothing about them.

A male Pisces holds his cards very close to his heart – only revealing his true personality to those he feels that he’ll be safe with. It often takes many years to really get to know this guy. He tends to keep his inner circle tight, and though he is friendly and social, only the chosen few will ever get past his internal gauntlet. This is because a Pisces possesses an extreme sensitivity, and everything affects him ten times more intensely than it might with any of the other signs.

Water has no boundaries. It can seep into even the tiniest crack and wreak havoc, melting barriers and dissolving that which was formerly solid. The power of Neptune, god of the sea, is of dissolution – that which seeks oneness. Water is our natural state, from the primordial ooze where we began to form in the amniotic fluid we swam in while within the womb. This is what Pisces energy is all about: fluidity, unity, and returning to our original source.

As the final sign in the zodiac, Pisces people are the most ancient souls, possessing powerful wisdom and often psychic ability to see and feel things beyond what most people can sense or understand.

THE PISCES MAN: LOVE & SEX

A Pisces man in love will give his entire self to his partner, swooning in the dance of two souls merging as one. That’s his aim, to achieve complete harmony and unity as one being with no firm distinctions as to where his identity ends and his partner’s begins. This can be intoxicating to a fellow romantic spirit, but completely overwhelming for those who are looking to date more casually.

Because of this disparity, Pisces men often end up getting hurt and may wear their wounded hearts on their sleeves. It’s easy for them to end up feeling like the victim when their deep feelings aren’t matched, or when their partner suddenly wakes from the consuming spell of singularity to realize they haven’t been home in a week and all their houseplants are dead. It’s tempting to spend all night and day in bed with your Pisces – swimming within their embrace and getting lost in their kisses.

This is what they most desire: for you to forget that the world outside exists, and to give yourself over to love and the vision of indivisibility. When they lose themselves in love or dissolve into a puddle of tears after a major heartbreak, Pisces men may turn to drugs or alcohol to escape from their intense emotions or to numb their pain. Casual drinking or drug use may seem fun or innocent enough at first, but be on the lookout for the psychedelic daydreamer who can’t seem to handle being sober for any aspect of day-to-day life. Often the idyllic otherworlds of their substance-stimulated imaginations are much more attractive to them than the humdrum doldrums of boring old reality.

THE PISCES MAN: HOME & FAMILY

The home of a Pisces man often feels like a magical realm, a hermit’s cave filled with wonders, far removed from the bland settings of the other homes around it. It may look unassuming from the outside, but once within his domain, prepare to be dazzled.

Pisces guys often like to have aquariums or terrariums full of rare fish, frogs, or unusual plant life. They may raise orchids or just enjoy having plants and animals around them. There is artwork everywhere, usually created by him or by dear friends who he loves to support. There is a sacred atmosphere in his space, and a hush in the air that calls for a sense of reverence. You might instinctively bend to take off your shoes when you enter, regardless of whether or not he insists upon it – or feel awkward about using your cellphone inside.

Many Pisces men are extremely sensitive to noise and light pollution, and will often soundproof their homes or block out natural light from the windows, lending further to the sense of being in an insular womb-like cavern, a fairyland away from the normal world. You may lose track of time and forget that there’s even a world outside the beautiful one that he has created.

Some Pisces folks take their protection from polluting forces even further, installing water filters to get rid of contaminants and fluoride, or blocking wi-fi transmissions. Before you accuse him of wearing a tinfoil hat, remember that a Pisces man will pick up on things that other people aren’t aware of, so if it works for him, don’t knock it.

The Pisces dad makes a wonderful, gentle father, who tends to be very permissive, and is not much for disciplining his children or setting clear boundaries or rules.

THE PISCES MAN: WORK & MONEY

Work and career are generally aspects of a Pisces man’s life that (like the rest of him) never conform to typical ideas of what a regular job should be. Often, he will invent a career for himself that you didn’t even know could exist, doing something so intriguing and bizarre that you just want to ask him a million questions about what it’s like to be a poisonous dart frog breeder or private investigator.

These men are rarely happy or successful trying to adhere to a 9-to-5 schedule. More often than not, they prefer to keep odd hours, maybe as serious night owls who would always rather work the graveyard shift. The freedom of being able to create their own way of doing things is essential – because they’re just going to do it anyway.

A Pisces man will have little regard for “rules for the sake of rules,” and will defy everything from dress code to issues on tardiness or taking breaks. Rather than marching to the beat of their own drummer, they tend to undulate vaguely to their own internal clarinet. This may infuriate managers, but if the people in charge of a Pisces can recognize the strange genius of the man they’ve employed and just let him do his thing (rules and regulations be damned), they’ll often be amazed by the results he produces and the inventiveness of his work.

Some structure can be good for a Pisces, who will either start work too late in the day to actually get anything done or else just work nonstop for days on end until he collapses from exhaustion.

Money can be an area of difficulty and strife for your Pisces man, who loves to spend profligately and may find that coins spill out of his hands like water. This Fish needs to learn about saving his dollars away for a rainy day.

THE PISCES MAN: GIFT GUIDE

If you want to buy the perfect gift for a Pisces man, choose something that feels like it has magical powers.

Not just any everyday object will do – it needs to be something that he will feel is imbued with meaning. Usually, a Pisces will not adhere to one mystical path or religion – choosing instead to mix bits of this and that into a hodgepodge of traditions and beliefs that suits him best. “Take what you like and leave the rest” tends to be his philosophy, and he sees all paths as being one anyway, so he has no issues in placing a statue of the Buddha next to a Catholic saint or Pagan goddess image.

A Tibetan relic or a huge chunk of a crystal will probably please him to no end, earning in a place of honor on one of his altars. You might gift him a piece of black tourmaline, obsidian, or shungite, which will protect against negative energy (which he has a tendency toward being open to absorbing).

Jewelry made of these or other semi-precious stones will often appeal, as romantic, emotional Pisces men usually are not uncomfortable exploring their feminine side. They may enjoy wearing perfume or oils and like to always smell delicious. Based on their innate traits. many Pisces men can be fastidious about their personal cleanliness habits and appearance, so scented bath and body products will be appreciated by this water-loving sign.

Birth Date: March 20th, age 733

Description: The astrological sign for those born on March 20th is the Pisces and the astrological symbol is the fish. As a Pisces, you are flexible and open, able to adapt to challenges as they arise. Those who are born under this sign tend to be versatile and unique, curious and intelligent. The birth date range for the Pisces is February 19-March 20. Those born on March 20th may find they also have attributes of the astrological sign following theirs since the dates are so closely coordinated.

FREEDOMS

Those born on March 20th are intelligent and independent. They love the freedom and independence they have in life and love to find adventure. On the other hand, with their intelligence and love of freedom, the Pisces can become withdrawn and lonely. The Pisces with this birth date find themselves on one side or the other of the personality spectrum.

Understanding your feelings as Pisces is a constant challenge. One must balance their need for freedom with their need to be alone. When their freedom is out of alignment, the sense of loneliness may creep up and overtake the Pisces, pushing one towards a depressive state. To combat the sense of loneliness be sure to surround yourself with support when needed, but take time to yourself to regroup and recharge.

PERSONALITY TRAITS

Those born on March 20th are unique, inventive, resourceful and good with money. As an adaptable person, you are able to go with the flow and take whatever challenge the universe brings to you. With this adaptability comes the ability to communicate and accept people from all walks of life and all areas of the world.

Having the ability to adapt to those in nontraditional areas brings a gift to the Pisces in ways of career development, family orientation, and personal happiness. The Pisces may find their future romantic partner, child, business venture, or networking group in another culture or country simply due to their ability to flex and accept.

The Pisces is spontaneous and indulgent, creative and innovative. With the universal strengths in this area, you are able to bring about new ideas to the table at work and home. You are able to find new adventures and spoil yourselves and others in the process. You are able to balance the needs and wants you desire while also bringing up new ways in which to utilize and fund your creative endeavors.

The motto of the Pisces is said to be “I believe”. With this motto, the Pisces is able to love themselves, find strength in their intelligence, and guide others to do the same. Stating “I believe” brings confidence to their leadership abilities while also allowing for room to alter their believes and opinions in the event their perceptions are wrong.

The motto of “I believe” also shows the faith the Pisces places on their value system. Having a belief in their thoughts and actions brings respectability to the actions of those born on March 20th. Declaring their belief is a foundation for their business and family goals and should be honored as such.

Having a strong value system and high intelligence level brings those born on this day to the idea that what they say – goes. How they want a project to be completed is the final say on how the project is completed. Their belief system is the end all-be all of the equation. This matter of thinking can bring the Pisces to be stubborn and conflicting at times. The Pisces can be difficult to bargain with and adapt to when they are always in charge.

Positive traits of those born March 20th:

*Flexible

*Adaptable

*Overcomes challenges

*Strong belief system

*Confident

*Interesting

*Artistic

*Innovative

*Loves nature

*Leader

*Adventurous

*In touch with their emotions

Negative aspects of those born March 20th:

*Can be difficult to change

*Stubborn

*Conflicting

*Over-emotional

*Naïve

*Greedy

*Self-deprecating

*Expect others to have same values

These positive and negative traits can work together to balance out the negative in area that can be socially unacceptable. For example, the confidence and intelligence can be strengthened to balance out tendencies to be self-deprecating or gullible. As a charming person, you can work on not being over emotional or hyper and others will be more likely to trust you and find you interesting rather than flighty.

Utilize the strengths and weaknesses to the best of your ability to understand yourself or someone else born on March 20th. Understanding and accepting the good and bad will help bring a realistic set of expectations to who you spend the bulk of your time with. Either yourself, your coworker, spouse or friend, you are better apt to be cooperative with those who you understand.

HEALTH AND WELLNESS

Those born on March 20th are healthy, active people who love to be fit. Whether running or bike riding, rock climbing or boating, the love of movement and adventure brings a sense of fun to the workout. When you are able to find what you love doing and incorporate this into a fitness routine, you are more likely to remain healthy and happy as you age.

Those born on this day tend to have a strong circulation system. Those born under the Pisces sign can have issues with their feet given their astrological disposition. Fish do not have feet; therefore, their human counterparts have issues with theirs. The lower legs may also have troubles over time. Pay attention to your calves and feet over time and be sure to keep them healthy. Many times, prevention can be the best offset to illness and disability.

Their health is quite good but since Pisces is thought to rule feet, lower limb muscles and blood circulation, they are inclined towards suffering from affections of these areas.

RELATIONSHIPS

As a Pisces, you have personality traits that lead you to attract certain types of people in business, pleasure, and friendship. To attract good quality friends, one must first offer their own good standing friendship and ideals. Developing your personal self into a person who is honest and fair, friendly and of ease will attract friends of good standing.

Friends of the Pisces appreciate your passion and drive. With you in their universe, a sense of adventure and inspiration comes into their life. As a positive influence on others, the Pisces makes the world better for those around them. With your adaptability, you have plenty of new friends and discussion to bring to those around you. As you bring new ideas and activities to those around you, the world expands for everyone.

The Pisces born on March 20th is positive and outgoing. With your joyful disposition, you are able to keep good friends near and enemies at bay. In the working world, your business friends appreciate your positive attitude and abilities. In your realm there is little conflict causing disruptions.

LOVE AND COMPATIBILITY

Those born on March 20th find compatibility with others that are as fun-loving and exciting as they are. The friendly, creative and silly personality of the Pisces attracts many mates, but learning which mate is spiritually aligned in your best interest can help alleviate challenges in the future.

Those born on March 20th may be a bit conservative in some ways, but overall, they are open and engaging to new people. Finding a Pisces and attempting to create a relationship will require you to be practical and unassuming. Doing so will allow the Pisces to breathe and step back to analyze the situation before fully committing.

The Pisces born March 20th is most compatible with people born on the dates of 1, 4, 8, 10, 13, 17, 19, 22, 26, 28, and 31. The Pisces has a great many dates to choose from! Many other signs are not so fortunate. In this case, if the Pisces finds a potential mate born on these dates, rest assured, the spiritual world is offering a sign that this match is blessed by the universe and meant to be.

The compatible zodiac signs with the Pisces are from the element of water. The signs of Cancer and Scorpio are best matched with Pisces due to their similar personalities and life goals. The Cancer and Scorpio are also a bit more aggressive than the Pisces and can offset the relative calm the Pisces may have in situations that call for more fire.

The Pisces seeks a mate and will remain committed and devoted. The Pisces is looking for someone to support and uplift them, making them a better person overall. The mate must add to the life of the Pisces and have a sense of value.

CAREER

Those who are born on this day may find a career in the arts to be their best fit. Having time in the arts allows the Pisces to be fluid and flexible. Remaining still and stagnant is not the way of the fish, and the career flow of those born March 20th is representative of that.

The Pisces may find spiritual and philosophical work to be a good fit for their personality type. Having a flexible yet intelligent frame of mind allows the Pisces to bring a well round sense of thought to the constant demands of spirituality.

As a natural leader, the Pisces would do well directing others in the management field, or working in research. Many Pisces find themselves happy in the medical field due to the demand ever-changing nature of the job. The medical field offers creativity and invention while also having stable and reliable rules. As a social person with charm, you would be a great doctor with perfect bedside manner.

LUCK

Luck falls upon those from the universe and in line with their universal energies. Those born on March 20th can find their lucky day to be Thursday, which is ruled under Jupiter. As a day under Jupiter, this day is seen as bringing wealth and bounty.

Lucky numbers for this sign are 5, 7, 10, 12, 22. These numbers can be found in addresses, phone numbers, and codes throughout your day. Focusing upon these numbers allows you to read into your spiritual connections and follow the lead of the universe.

Turquoise is deemed the lucky color of the Pisces. Perhaps the color is close to that of water and this closeness in color represents a close sense of duplication. The color represents fertility and strength, passion and spirits.

Other lucky colors for the Pisces to rely upon for luck are purple, pink and light green. Wearing these colors bring out the best in you and surrounding your home and work life with these colors allows you to reach your highest potential.

ELEMENTS

Those born on March 20th are born under the element of water. Water provides life, death, hydration, and spirituality. This element brings about the strength and adaptability of your personality and represents your fertility. Fertility is not only for reproducing babies, but for producing life in all areas. For example, starting a business or building a home. The Pisces can bring life into many areas of the world.

The ruling planet of Pisces is Neptune. Neptune rounds out the personality of the Pisces by bringing compassion and empathy. The Pisces can be strong-willed and focused and occasionally lack the sense of taking others into account. The planet Neptune highlights the sensitivity needed in life to balance one’s needs with the rest of the world.

Another aspect of the ruling planet is the need for order and stability. The Pisces born March 20th may be flexible and push through life, but a certain sense of order is also needed for the Pisces to fully develop. The power of Neptune helps bring this ability to the Pisces.

Bonjour et bienvenue! Paris welcomes you, our Gambler, Jaqueline ‘La Spadille’ Dubois! May we say, you’re the spitting image of Gal Gadot! Please make your presence known within 24 hours, and do have a look at our checklist before setting out into the city on your own. À bientôt!

MUN

Name/Alias: Cleo (’:

Preferred Pronouns: She/her

Age: 20 in December. but my fake says I’m already 22(;

Timezone: EST. I can’t promise that I’m going to be on every single day because I do have school 4 days a week and work 2 out of the other 3, but I do have large gaps in my school schedule and a solid day and a half where I’m free for sure to write with y’all. My discord is cleooo#9183 if anyone needs to hit me up for anything!

MUSE

Chosen Skeleton: The Gambler

Muse Name: Jaqueline ‘La Spadille’ Dubois

Muse Age: 32

Chosen FC: Gal Gadot

Muse Occupation: Officially an unemployed Parisian, unofficially-officially a card shark, and officially-UNofficially a high-paid escort when she’s down and out (like right now lolz, but she’s lowkey af)

Muse Affiliation & Frequent Haunts: Jacqueline goes wherever the money flows — that is her affiliation. Though her checkbook doesn’t reflect the furs that drape over her shoulders and the diamonds that glisten on her chest, no one would ever know as she’s constantly frequenting Hotel Montmartre or La Gavrouche. She brushes shoulders with the Parisian elite as if she still belongs, and to the blind eye, she does — because that’s what she wants them to believe. La Spadille is a born and bred Parisian, and now a broke one at that, but she knows how to change that. While she’s down and out right now, she’s almost always found testing her luck at anything from dominos to spades at The Blue Lotus, always up to date on the changing password. And if Jacqui doesn’t want to risk losing, there’s always a card table with drunk working class men on their break at the Street Market to be found and hustled. She knows her city, and she knows where to have her fun; Jacqueline is a regular at both L’Enfer and Le Ciel, and as an unmarried femme fatale, she knows how to use the cards she was dealt to enjoy the clubs’ pleasures even if she can’t afford it herself.

Direct from Le Petit Journal: La Spadille ou La Dame de Cœurs — which side of Mademoiselle Dubois will the streets of Paris receive tonight? She’s often seen running the tables at L’Enfer, but even if her attempts at seducing Lady Luck are to no avail, the hearts of Paris’ most suitable bachelors still rest in her hands. It seems that even when the house wins, Jacqueline Dubois never loses.

BIOGRAPHY

(tw: abuse, miscarriage, murder)

0-6 ans

Breathless laughs of joy escaped Monsieur et Madame Dubois when the piercing sound of neonate cries filled the room. They had tried for years for a successful pregnancy, and they were finally here. The smiles were wiped from their faces when the nurse announced that it was a beautiful baby girl. What were they to do with a weak little girl? A girl could not take over the family business, and even worse she wouldn’t further the Dubois name. Monsieur Dubois was a jeweler to the Parisian elite, only with their lavish lifestyle and appearances to be kept, another mouth to feed and the stagnation of the economy in the 1890s, what was once a busy business was now putting them in the red. Though eventually business picked up a little more, his debts made during the store’s slower times had left the Dubois’ always behind the curve, struggling to keep afloat, let alone to catch up.

7-15 ans

Her family’s worsening financial situation didn’t make it any easier for Jacqui’s parents to show her the attention and love a growing child yearns for. Rather, she was met with coldness and the highest of expectations; if they were going to have a girl, she would be groomed to be the most marketable of girls. And for many years, she aimed to be the best to fulfill her parents’ wishes in hopes of finally gaining their affections. She’d spend hours a day walking with books on top of her head, her back as straight as an arrow or practicing table manners and polite conversation. As she aged, she was charming and intelligent with beauty to match, enamoring everyone she spoke to with her quick wit and grace — everyone except her parents. Though most of her efforts went unnoticed and her achievements disregarded, any time she faltered was magnified by her parents; she slouched as they walked in le parc, her legs spread a little too far apart at Mass, she wastoo charming, precocious even and God forbid her reputation be tarnished by her coquettish behavior before they received a dowry.

16-17 ans

Eventually they did receive an offer of a dowry, and all of a sudden, the Dubois’ greatest disappointment was now their final saving grace. All the hard work had paid off, as now her mother brushed her daughter’s long tresses with care. “You’re going to make us very proud, my love.” Jacqueline recalled her mother cooing in her ear, and as the woman spoke of the details of the marriage arrangement, all Jacqui could think about was the first real semblance of endearment her mother offered her.

Gaston Choquette was everything her parents could’ve wanted for their girl; he was handsome, a powerful top-ranking member of Paris’ elite, and most importantly, trèsriche. He was magnificent while courting Jacqui, showering both her and her family with gifts and treasures, offering her the affections she’d been missing out on her whole life. He took her everywhere; shopping on the right bank, his business meetings in La Gavroche, nights out in Montparnasse. It was him that introduced her to the exciting night life of Paris, making a spectacle when he arrived with her on his arm; she was the beauty to his beast… Only she hadn’t learned that quite yet.

18-20 ans

It was at their wedding that Jacqui had seen the first sign of her husband’s carnal nature. It had only been mere moments after their ceremony had concluded, and she was greeted with her family and friends that wished to grant the couple their best wishes. Monsieur Garnier, her father’s business partner of nearly a decade embraced Jacqui, and she gladly embraced him too. He was something of an uncle figure to her, one of the few that indulged Jacqueline with the affections a child should be granted. He was always kind to her whenever she visited the store with her father, giving her all the answers to her many questions regarding jewelry whenever her own father brushed her off, praising her on her great wit during conversation whenever her parents let it go by unacknowledged. Having him at her wedding pleased Jacqueline greatly, but she was sure to never express such pleasure for another man’s presence when Gaston’s fingers curled around her arm, pressing so deep that her bruise had lasted nearly two weeks after that. “I never want to see you with a man like that again, you understand me?” He growled in her ear as they left the church, “We exchanged vows, you belong only to me — now and forever.” There were blackened tear drops on the silhouette of her ivory gown.

With his temper in mind, Jacqueline tried to make the best of her situation and for a little while, it worked. They’d still make a spectacle when they went out, dressed to the nines and having the time of “their” (mostly his) lives as Paris’ most beautiful couple; dinner and shopping in Montmartre and nights out in the liveliest clubs Montparnasse. She was always on his arm, as he spoke about business with his partners, drank like a fish, and gambled away hundreds and thousands of Francs on end, and her rouge painted lips would be curled up in the smallest of smiles. Though Jacqui had trained her whole life to be the best woman she could be, almost all of those skills were locked away in the back of her mind as Gaston’s wife. She spoke very little to anyone and simply stood by him throughout the night until they went home, where she’d have to let him do whatever he desired to her. What else could she do; she was but a weak little girl, non?

But Jacqueline was always an intelligent girl; easily picking up skill and information. If you’re quiet as a mouse, people tend to forget you’re even there and say more than they should. That was how she learned of her husband’s true occupation; he had always said he simply made business deals for his partners, but it didn’t make sense to her that a man only 6 years her senior had made such a name for himself. Les Beaux Voyous weren’t something Jacqueline was unfamiliar with; she had heard of them through her parents’ discussion of their financial situation, and had even seen them at his shop more than a few times when she would visit. It suddenly made sense and when she questioned him further about it, he shrugged it off, “C’est la vie.” When his nonchalance enraged her, he grew enraged too; “Don’t you like the life we lead? I don’t hear you complaining when you wear your furs or your diamonds that I bought you.” And it was true, she didn’t complain; her whole life, affection was granted to her by the material items that she received. Whether it be by gifts from her parents or suitors or eventually her husband, or the attention and respect she received when she went out with shiny pearls on her neck, Jacqueline cherished the products of her bourgeois tastes. That was the last time she questioned her husband’s line of work.

He was a bookie, gambling away money and counting cards so he could turn a profit and as she lingered over his shoulder during their nights in The Blue Lotus or L’Enfer, Jacqui quickly learned that the house doesn’t always win. She figured that if she wasn’t allowed to speak to anyone or truly enjoy herself, she’d at least pay attention while he played and soon enough, she picked up on the games. She had gotten so good merely by watching that she’d even advise her husband on which cards to play next, masking her guidance as sweet nothings being whispered in his ear, or kisses placed on his neck; a happy couple. But it’s easy to call plays when it’s not your money on the line, and one false call on Jacqueline’s part made her never want to look at cards ever again. He had lost nearly 3,000 francs, and when he rose, her husband gave the table a light laugh. “C’est la vie,” he said with a shrug, but his fingers again curled into Jacqueline’s arm as he steered them out of the smoke-filled basement of The Blue Lotus. His words were like spades, cutting into her the entire drive home. She was never to try and advise him again, especially where money was concerned; she was never to attempt to play cards, onlymen were smart enough to play cards.

21-24 ans

Though she could not say the same for her husband, Jacqueline’s life had slowed down significantly. She refused to go out with him anymore, figuring that if she weren’t allowed to enjoy herself while in public, she’d surely enjoy herself at home then. It was a nightly routine for her; give him a swift, emotionless kiss as he left and then within the hour, her girl friends would be over to play their own card games and dominoes while the husbands were out. The women would share a few bottles of wine and bet a couple francs here and there, and just before midnight, Jacqui would clear them out and clean up the house before Gaston came home. She was still great at the games, but she knew better than to let her husband find out that she was playing, let alone with money on the line.

Part of the routine was waiting for him to come home, as they’d been married for a few years now and still were without child. Jacqueline wasn’t sure she had even wanted children, especially not with Gaston, but as the dutiful woman and wife she spent so much time learning to be, she complied. They’d try night and night again, and when his luck on the table hadn’t transferred to the bedroom, again it was Jacqui’s fault and then his fists were like clubs, beating into her body for something that wasn’t even really her fault. Eventually she did fall pregnant, and at first everything was actually pleasant; similar to how things were right before the pair had married. He was lovely and she had finally done something right, and despite all the issues they had had in the past, Jacqueline saw potential for their future. He wanted nothing more than a son, and rather than go out and drink, he would chatter incessantly about the future of their unborn son. “He will be the king of Paris,” he would say, “Just like his father.”

Thankfully, he wasn’t home when she had started bleeding; she wasn’t quite sure what he would’ve done but Jacqueline knew all too well that the man had no boundaries when he was enraged. His prodigy was no longer a possibility, and she knew that she had to work with the hand she was dealt, otherwise the house would win.

So Jacqui had concocted a plan that ensured her victory, and when she came home from dinner with her mother one night, she was greeted with the police at her door. “Madame, ” the captain had said, barely able to look her in the eye, “Je suis vraiment désolé.” He informed the woman that her husband had been very drunk and fell into La Seine, and when his body had been retrieved, he had already drowned and was pronounced dead. After making arrangements with the captain to visit the morgue the following morning, Jacqueline headed inside and called her girl friends and invited them over for a game of spades. She won every hand that night.

25 ans - À present

Following her husband’s “mysterious” death, Jacqueline collected her belongings and as much money as she could, and sold their house. It was with that money that she bought her own beautiful apartment on the right bank and truly began her life. She still had expensive tastes, and satisfied her own appetite while gambling the rest away in hopes of coming out with even more. Jacqui was good, but she already knew that. She played with the big boys, pulling out francs by the pound and counting cards all the way down to the 3 of hearts, but sometimes they were admittedly better. Still, there had to be respect given to a woman who could hold her own in a game of cards and Jacqui came to be known as La Spadille. She was invited to all the tournaments, knew all the passwords to the hidden basements of clubs and if ever she were desperate for a few extra guaranteed francs, she even knew where to find cheap games with the drunk working class men.

A lot of the times she was up, but there were quite a few times where she was down and out. If ever she were running too low on money, she unlocked that little box of skills and traits that she had placed in the furthest depths of her mind and became the most marketable woman she could be. An unmarried woman can only do as much as is appropriate, but a widow? She can do as she pleases. Jacqueline came from money and was married into money, so it was only right that she associate herself with the richest of the rich, even if she couldn’t afford to. She can be seen on the arms of wealthy men, radiating her own excellence as if she doesn’t need them, or she can be seen alone, but using her own charm to cause them to flock to her. In either case, her meals and drinks are often paid for without request, and at the end of the night, Jacqueline is left with more money to test her luck with at the tables in the morning.

POTENTIAL PLOTS/CONNECTIONS

Since Jacqueline is a born and bred “wealthy” Parisian, I’d love to see some connections from her past and perhaps even some that dig into her situation with her husband and how he “mysteriously” died.

Along the same lines, I’d also love for someone from her past to expose the fact that she’s actually broke asf right now and perhaps publicly humiliates her for it?

I’d also love to delve deeper into her lowkey escort business, because really Jacqui’s just trying to secure her bag however she can so perhaps she’s conning someone that’s married and their wife finds out, or OOH a woman who’s like her lowkey sugar-momma but then the husband finds out? That’s hella scandalous.

I’m sure once she gets some more money, she’d probably try and be smart with it rather than gambling it all away, so I’d love for her to get involved in some risky business and further crime.

There’s room for a lot so come and love her plz.

Why won’t my bf admit what he’s into?

I am a 22f, my boyfriend is 28-if that matters. He’s had multiple sexual partners before we started dating 2 years ago. He’s been my only sexual partner. After we got out of the honeymoon phase after about 6 months of non stop fucking, my scatter brain became quite bored with our usual sex, I asked him what we could to do to change it up, he basically shrugged and suggested some lingerie. I bought some, he loved it, and now I have quite the collection of sexy crotchless lingerie. We wandered into the sex toy section of a gift store a couple months after that and he asked if I’d be willing to try a butt plug, and I seriously couldn’t believe his reaction the first time we used it. “It makes your pussy so tight” “I love the vibration everywhere” he said with a look on his face like it was his first time ever having sex. He exploded. The butt plug is a go to for our special nights. After about 1.5 years of asking him what he’s into, with him just shrugging and saying “i dunno” we discovered together that he really has a kink for basically pretend creampies. He loooves to talk dirty about cumming in me, I love it to! But I won’t allow him to cum in my vagina, so we’re slowly working up to anal sex so he can have his cream pie fantasy come true in that hole.

But the thing is, no matter how much I ask him he will not for the life of him admit to any kinks/fetishes/fantasies. He won’t even admit to me who his celebrity crush is. I know he knows what he likes, he’s got 12 years of sexual experience, I have 2!!! It even got to the point where I peeked at his search history to see what kind of porn he’s into. When I’m on my period he gets off to the rule34 page, so anime stuff, cosplay women, henatai etc. I was honestly shocked, but at the same time I had some previous clues such as: 1. we were with one of my close friends one time and she mentioned the anime show she was binging, and he started talking to her about it. I had no clue he was into anime, because he never mentioned it 2. We went to a renaissance fair, where 90% of the people were in costumes and cosplay outfits. There was a vendor selling cute elf ears made of jewelry wire with fancy tiny stones. We saw a woman wearing them, I pointed towards her telling him how cute they were. He took me by the arm, marched over to the vendor booth told me to pick a pair, pulled out his wallet and after I put them on he basically couldn’t get his eyes off me the rest of the day. And when we got home he demanded I keep them on and fucked me as soon as we walked through the door. 3. We were shopping for video games once, I saw a female character dressed as poison ivy on the cover of a game, I’m unsure why I was so drawn to her but I pointed and said “look. She’s so hot” He then looked at me like I had 3 heads. When he realized I wasn’t kidding he grabbed my ass with a smile that covered his whole face and said “we’ll that’s super hot” 4. The first year we met I was shopping for Halloween costumes and I mentioned to him that I think flight attendants are always attractive and I like the outfits they wear. I showed him a flight attendant outfit for sale online, and he said if I wore it, it would only stay on for 5 minutes and he got all excited. The following Halloween, we shopped for outfits together and he picked a costume for me that made me look like Katniss from the hunger games. I really don’t understand why he doesn’t admit to liking cosplay outloud. And I don’t want to embarrass him by telling him Ive seen his search history. We have great sex, but I am definitely the one who takes things on the wild side. He’s down for whatever. I’m the first girl who’s given him a rim job, and even that he won’t ask for, and he doesn’t like discussing it either. I even used one of my vibrators on the outside of his ass and from his moans I knew he was in heaven. He’s always willing to fulfill my kinks like choking, hair pulling, dirty talk, body grabbing, tossing me around the bed. and at least once a week I like to lay on the bed fully dressed while he rubs his foot on my pussy until I cum. I am desperate to try new things. If he would admit to the whole cosplay kink, I would go out and buy 30 different outfits for him because even tho I don’t know anything about anime or American movies, I LOVE dressing up and getting into character. I’d also like to try bondage someday but whenever I ask him, he just does his typical shoulder shrug with the “i dunno”. My only guess would be that it has to do with his father being a tough judgmental asswipe. My boyfriend isn’t allowed to show any signs of weakness or do anything that isn’t “manly” around his father. All his hobbies are outdoors or having to do with cars, his video games are mostly Forza and GTA. He only played Zelda on the Nintendo switch. There’s no signs of him liking anime anywhere in his life, so I’m assuming he hides it because well, it’s sort of geeky? Not manly enough? It took him up until a few months ago in order to be able to admit to me that he adores marvel movies and Star Wars. We recently started watching the Mandalorian and I love it. I love baby Yoda and he knows this, so it’s something we now enjoy together. After watching an episode last night, I told him next time we watch I’ll do my hair like Princess Leia and wear my baby yoda socks. So any tips on how to get him to open up to me more? And how do I start slowly introducing cosplay (maybe even roleplay) into the bedroom? If he was willing to dress up like Link from Zelda for Halloween, I’m sure he’s willing to fuck me in a costume. And I feel like if I want to try bondage, I should just show up one day with a blind fold, handcuffs and rope and he’d be willing to participate just like anything I ask for. But at the same time I want to make sure he’s comfortable. Blehhhhhh I’m lost and have no clue what the next step should be…

Meet Joie De Viv: A Diamond Industry Disruptor And Environmental Advocate

New Post has been published on https://perfectirishgifts.com/meet-joie-de-viv-a-diamond-industry-disruptor-and-environmental-advocate/

Meet Joie De Viv: A Diamond Industry Disruptor And Environmental Advocate

Joie de Viv CEO & Founder Vivian Weyll.

Are lab-grown diamonds a girl’s best friend? According to Vivian Weyll, CEO & Founder of Joie de Viv & Aria Financial Group – yes, they can be everyone’s BFF.

Weyll explains that her company, Joie De Viv, is a delicate yet modern and timeless jewelry brand whose philosophy is about femininity and fierceness. It features ethical, lab grown IGI certified diamonds (and contrary to popular belief, she asserts that they are REAL diamonds – just quite a bit less costly). In their design and craftsmanship, they also use responsibly sourced gemstones and recycled 18K gold for their creations.

Weyll adds that being in this industry has had its challenges; but for her, it’s been well worth the effort in being able to help people make more sustainable choices. Adding that “going after a multibillion-dollar (diamond) industry that was built on blood, inhumane practices, violence and a lot of profit – is no easy task. Making a real impact takes time, energy, grit and money… a lot of money.” But, slowly she feels they are starting to make a difference. “Massive diamond companies that just two short years ago would not recognize lab grown diamonds as real are now investing heavily in them because they know it is the future.”

In fact, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has ruled that both kinds of diamonds are real and they can only be differentiated by its origin which is “mined” or “lab grown”. And support is ever-increasing. Weyll says that “big environmental groups and investors are now backing up research and development of techniques to improve the amazing technology behind creating lab grown diamonds.”

We’re living in a world where people are understanding that the inherent choices they make, particularly with their purchasing power – can truly be a catalyst to affect positive change in our society. When we prioritize the planet’s needs, sustainability and humanity can work in harmony to better the lives of people and the environment.

While her company is “small” compared with the “big players” out there, Joie de Viv’s goals and impact are mighty. In the following conversation with Vivian, she talks all things sustainable and sparkly.

Model wears Sustainable Fine Jewelry with Lab Grown Diamonds by Joie de Viv.

Outline your journey and expertise in the sustainable jewelry movement.

Vivian Weyll (VW): The sustainable jewelry movement was something completely foreign to me when I first started in the industry. Prior to opening Joie de Viv, my background was in the film and art industries. I was a very good CEO and CMO, but like most women, jewelry for me was all about beauty and sparkles. I didn’t have the knowledge to understand what types of materials were out there, how they were sourced, and the impact they made on our environment. When I decided to start Joie de Viv, I was on a journey to find myself, to find my truth and to find things that really resonated with me and that truth I was searching for.

I decided to create a jewelry line that would outline everything I believed in and I was not willing to take shortcuts to do so. Upon this realization, I started taking a much deeper interest when it came to design, sourcing, and manufacturing. For three months, I went on a research expedition around three continents to find everything I could possibility learn about the diamond and gold industries and practices. I visited natural mines as well as lab grown diamond labs in North America, Europe, and Asia. I spoke with specialists in India, Hong Kong, Africa, Italy, US and Brazil and after much research, I was stunned – and not in a good way. I couldn’t understand how such beautiful things could come from such a disgusting industry and how I had been blind to these humanitarian and environmental issues for over 2 years. A lot of people think that only blood diamonds are the problem and the reality is, there is so much more to it than that. Following those three months, I had a very clear idea of the path I wanted to take with Joie de Viv.

Is there an overarching philosophy you’re emphasizing with your design creations?

VW: Joie de Viv was actually born from the most amazing moment of liberation in my life. I was going through a very difficult divorce and trying to put my life back together when I realized I was doing it all wrong. Sometimes the best thing to do is to accept that something is over, start again and do it better! When I decided to close Viv Storms Fine Jewelry and create a completely new jewelry line, which would now be focused and based on my personal values and experiences, I felt truly free and powerful. I felt I was actually doing what I was meant to be doing and that type of empowerment is my biggest inspiration.

Joie de Viv is the embodiment of this reality; my life of adventure, of new beginnings, of discovered landscapes, terrains, and new loves. My biggest inspiration is to make this type of empowerment a reality for all of the women I can touch with my collections. I create pieces that are meant to empower women in their everyday lives and essentially, my design and collections are inspired by women for women. My goal is to create timeless heirlooms that women are proud to wear and pass down to their children. Pieces that empower them to be the best versions of themselves for themselves and nobody else.

We are often launching new pieces and collections and women everywhere and their life stories are my biggest inspiration. I am proud to say that Joie de Viv has become a line of jewelry were the largest customer base we have is comprised of women buying themselves special pieces. It makes me feel so fulfilled to have created a line that women want to gift themselves, an act of empowerment and self-love.

Tell me how you define an “ethical” versus an “unethical” diamond.

VW: There are a lot of misconceptions when it comes to what “ethical” and “non-ethical” diamonds are. A mined diamond changes hands so many times before getting into the hands of the designer or manufacturer, that tracing each single stone from start to finish can be a very difficult, if not impossible, task. Jewelry lines selling “ethical” fine jewelry rely upon one very flawed process – the Kimberley Process.

The Kimberley Process is the most ingenious way to cover up blood diamonds. They claim to certify “conflict-free” diamonds. Suppliers and distributors of mined diamonds often make the case that the Kimberley Process thoroughly addresses the issues surrounding conflict diamonds, but the truth is that it does nothing in terms of preventing or calling out degradation of the environment and that impact on surrounding villages and towns, horrendous labor practices, and human rights violations. Furthermore, the process does nothing to determine traceability of diamonds back to the very mine they were allegedly sourced from, they do not certify individual stones; and instead, they basically certify a batch of rough diamonds before they are cut and distributed around the world. The process is akin to slapping lipstick on a pig and predominantly serves as a band-aid to ease the minds of consumers who believe they are purchasing diamonds that are “conflict-free”.

In my eyes, the only diamonds that are truly ethical are those created in a lab. After much research, there really is no way of tracing mined diamonds to their true origins. Mined diamonds directly impact the environment as well as the surrounding communities. They require mines and large amounts of displaced land, chemicals, utilize questionable labor sources (often child labor), foster violence. Unfortunately, the list of negative impacts of this process is far-reaching. Lab grown diamonds have a minimal impact on the environment and the origins are fully traceable. Of course, it is always extremely important to vet manufacturers of lab grown diamonds to ensure that their facilities are adhering to ethical best practices and labor codes.

Why is it important for consumers to exercise more socially-conscious purchasing practices?

VW: Like it or not, the purchase of mined diamonds funds civil wars, the continued degradation and destruction of ecosystems, villages, cities, water sources and many other unethical practices. Given that there is so much more information available to us from sharing across online platforms, consumers are becoming more and more informed, aware and conscious of what they eat, wear and do. We owe it to the planet and ourselves to make more informed decisions in every aspect of life.

You’re quoted as saying that your company “uses the most advanced technology and strictest quality control, our top-grade lab created diamonds are born out of meticulous attention to detail” – can you tell me more about this technology and who you’re working with to create these diamonds? Please give me an overview of this process.

VW: We collaborate with and source our stones from a variety of manufacturers across the globe. Since the process of creating lab grown diamonds requires significant amounts of energy, we decided to visit multiple potential partners and their facilities prior to forming partnerships with them. Ultimately, we teamed up with those who were using as much renewable energy sources possible (like solar power for example) and who also met our standards for strict quality control and ethical workplace conditions.

Manufacturers will use 2 processes in the creation of Lab Grown Diamonds.

1. Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD)

2. High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT)

CVD diamonds are formed when a thin sliver from a diamond seed undergoes significant heating inside of the growth chamber. Once heated, the chamber is filled with a gas containing high carbon levels and the carbon component of the gas will break away and adhere to the diamond seed. This in turn, crystalizes to form a diamond.

As its name suggests, HPHT diamonds are created in a chamber where extremely high pressure and temperature replicates conditions that allow diamonds to grow. A small diamond seed is placed into carbon and once exposed to the high temperature and high pressure environment, the carbon forms a diamond around the seed. Once cooled, it becomes pure diamond.

There’s been an ongoing societal stigma against lab-grown diamonds. That it is “not the real deal”. Why is this and how do we change this mentality? VW: The stigma exists because of the massive money backing mined diamonds. Think of it this way… if I was selling tomatoes that were grown on a farm for decades and held nearly 100% of the world’s market share in tomato distribution and sales, and along came a company that grew tomatoes in a greenhouse that were equal to or superior in taste and quality to my tomatoes but was offering them at a 30-40% discount to consumers, would I be upset? Would I do everything in my power to discredit the greenhouse tomatoes? Would I run negative ads and whisper to all of my customers that the tomatoes were fake and could never replace the real deal?

Absolutely.

And that’s what they’re afraid of.

A diamond grown in a lab is physically, optically and chemically identical to a mined diamond but costs 30- 40% less all while being better for people and the planet. In order to change the stigma, we need to continue to educate potential customers as best we can to ensure that they fully understand what a lab grown diamond truly is… a REAL diamond!

Compared with other fine jewelers, how are you able to keep costs at a reasonable price?

VW: We do everything in house from the very initial concept of each piece, to design, manufacturing and distribution. Because of that, we are able to cut out the middlemen. That in itself saves multiple markup points on all of our products. The standard markup in the jewelry industry is 10 to 12 times because it has to go through so many hands before reaching retail. We also use lab grown diamonds, which are 30-40% more affordable than mined diamonds despite being 100% real diamonds, physically, chemically, and optically identical to mined diamonds.

Also, other fine jewelers expect you to pay simply for the brand name. Joie de Viv is different in that regard. We aim to make our pieces accessible as part of an attainable luxury initiative versus promoting exclusivity and social status. However, it’s important to point out that when comparing prices, consumers need to compare apples to apples.

There are a lot of online jewelry brands selling “affordable” fine jewelry these days. But if you look closely at their products, you will notice that they are mostly selling 10k or 14k gold – and I to L color diamonds (which possess a yellowish hue). Another caveat is the clarity of their diamonds which tend to be no better than SI clarity, meaning that they contain inclusions that are visible to the naked eye. Joie de Viv’s fine jewelry is only made with colorless or near colorless diamonds. Furthermore, we do not use any diamonds with a clarity rating less than VS2, with most of them being in the VVS range, which shows absolutely no inclusions to the naked eye.

Who is your biggest consumer base and why do you think this is?

VW: My consumer base is the modern woman. Women that care about what they are putting on their body, about where the items they are purchasing are coming from, how they were sourced, and how those items will affect the world and generations to come. If we’re looking at specific demographics, our biggest consumer base is women aged 25-55. It’s quite a large spread, but that goes to show how our various collections appeal to women across the board. Naturally, we also have a large following of male customers who love that our fine jewelry comes wrapped in a beautiful gift box which makes purchasing and gifting effortless.

Has COVID-19 affected your business in any way? How have you pivoted to survive and thrive?

VW: Actually, our business model is 100% online and it was during COVID-19 that our brand took off. We saw an extreme surge in sales during the onset of COVID-19. Our data was telling us that because more and more people were stuck in isolation at home during the lockdowns, they were spending more and more time looking for an escape. What better way is there to escape than online shopping and treating yourself to something timeless and beautiful?! While we had a huge influx of orders, we saw lead times in production increase significantly as well. We readjusted our shipping and fulfillment times, adjusted our made to order process and launched regular sales to engage consumers and avoid the fate that so many retailers met because of the pandemic.

Where do you see yourself and your business in 5 years time?

VW: I’m currently 3 months pregnant with my second child and engaged to the love of my life. On a personal level, I see myself married, a mother of three amazing kids, running my two companies and living my best life while making a difference in the world by creating sustainable and ethical initiatives that are changing the jewelry industry.

On a business level, my immediate goal is to disrupt the jewelry industry and I make no excuses for it. 5 years from now, I see Joie de Viv as a leader and reference when it comes to the sustainable fine jewelry movement. I see us owning our own lab grown facility where we get to control the process of creating our diamonds in-house with the most advanced and environmentally friendly technology available from start to finish. My plan is ultimately to give back by investing into education and support for communities who will most benefit from the changes we’re trying to make.

Breaking Away From The Valentines Day Stereotypes

Ah…. Love is in the air. Wine is flying off the shelves. Drugstores everywhere are brimming with cards, chocolates, stuffed animals, and the fragrance of perfume gift packs fill the air. Jewellers are cramping diamond adds down our throats. Everything is red and pink and black. Teddies and stockings have replaced cozy holiday pj’s in lingerie store displays everywhere. Yes its to wonderful show the person/people in your life how much they mean but am I the only one who see’s Valentines marketing as a social comment on the rise and fall of love in long term relationship? Let me explain..

In grade school we love everyone. My kids bring home a class list and we spend a whole evening making gift cards for everyone, attaching a sweet treat or something cute like heart erasers etc..

Then it disappears in middle school/high school unless your one of those popular girls that gets the candy grams, or your the kid that everyone picks on and you receive a candy gram as a joke or dare. Making you alone, humiliated and the butt of your classmates jokes.

Then you enter young adulthood. Your either alone and looking, feeling pressure from the holidays filled with family members questioning you about your lack of love life. Now your pressed to find a date for the night, cause nobody wants to be alone on Feb 14th.

Are you in a new relationship? This is maybe the only real Valentine sweet spot. You still go out of the way to make each other happy and your not distracted by children or living together, things are still all fresh and new.

Are you married? This for a lot of people is the valentines death zone, sure you aren’t single so there is that. The new status quo is “we aren’t doing anything for valentines this year” I have heard this from so so many people around my age, and it makes me sad. Just because you have a partner you no longer take time to celebrate it. It becomes just something else to do, or an extra cost. Or worse it can seem like an exchange. “Ok on this one day of the year your husband will get you flowers, and jewelry and you will wear lingerie for him. This sick exchange of he offers the romance he no longer show on the reg, for you to give him the kinky sex your never have anymore.”

And lets not forget the extreme reaction if your partner does nothing for Valentine’s Day. If your in the above situation and this happens it can have devastating results on your self worth in the relationship.

One thing my husband and I do often is go over our life bucket list, but we also keep a running sex bucket list. If its something I or he are unsure about we discuss it, research it and figure out how to make it work for us. The key is communications and working together. You may not enjoy it, it talk but why you don’t like it. See if you can work together to overcome that feeling. Always consider things from their point of view before reacting with your thoughts, it’s small step but can avoid hurt feeling and damage control in the long run.

We should be romantic all year. Relationships are hard and require constant attention, inspections, and maintenance.We have so muc to balance in life. Children, running a home, careers, personal interests, social lives, and self care, but we cannot neglect romance. Write your partner a sweet note and slip it in their work lunch. Send flowers just because on any day (this is far cheaper then roses on the most popular day of the year). Showing you remember them and treasure them is so important for maintaining relationship health.

I am in no way suggesting that Valentines is not a time for the celebrations of love, but they should be unique to the person or people you love, not something that is generic or done because you have to. We should put more into expressions of love, joy, respect, thoughtfulness, and pleasure all year round, every time we have a chance.

The big day is finally upon us. Wow! Diwali is here and you can sense the buzz!

Flipkart and Amazon have been going gung-ho through their Diwali sale tempting one and all with offers running from electronics to apparel. With so much focus on Diwali, and its impending festivities, we had to dedicate a special piece for Diwali and its significance. We are flooded with so many Diwali personal loan applications simply for the purpose of Diwali shopping. Hang around till the end of this article to learn more about Diwali, its traditional significance and its impact on businesses and consumers alike. We will also tell you how to apply for a Diwali personal loan from the best digital lending platform in India – Yours truly, Loan Singh!

The Festival of Lights

Diwali is a Hindu festival of lights that is celebrated with traditional reverence and pomp throughout India. Diwali is a public holiday which couples for greater unity, bonding and fun. It spiritually signifies the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, hope over despair and knowledge over ignorance.

The festival unfolds over a 5-day period, with Diwali being the main festival night.

People clean, renovate, upgrade and decorate their homes and offices. Purchase and wearing of new clothes or apparel is a must. Clay diyas and sky lanterns are illuminated outside each home. Puja is performed for the Goddess Lakshmi – to invite prosperity and fertility into the home. Exchange of gifts and welcoming of guests with sweets is mandatory.

Diwali Days

Being a 5 day festival, the festive period begins much before the actual day of Diwali. The 5 days of this festive period are

Day 1 – Dhanteras

It is a day when houses and business premises are cleaned and decorated. Entrances of homes are adorned with Rangoli, including the walkways of offices. The setting up of lighting for the 5 day period begins on this day. Dhanteras is marked as the birth day of Goddess Lakshmi, and hence spurs the buying of gold or silver articles as a good omen. Merchants, traders and online portals stock up their products and offer hefty discounts.

Day 2 – Naraka Chaturdasi

The second day is also sometimes referred to as ‘Choti Diwali’ or ‘Mini Diwali’. It is symbolized as the day when the asura demon Narakasura was killed by Lord Krishna. In some states of India, this day is celebrated as the main day of Diwali (rather than the next). Families are seen to be busy preparing shopping lists or making homemade sweets and savories.

Day 3 – Lakshmi Puja

Celebrated as Diwali across most of India, people celebrate this day wearing the best outfits they can afford. Pujas are offered, earthenware lamps are lit with oil, doors are left ajar for guests to come and the festivities begin in full swing. After the puja, people go outside their homes and light an array of fireworks. Cultural programmes are held everywhere.

Day 4 – Padwa

This day is celebrated as a token of love between a husband and wife. Husbands purchase thoughtful gifts for their better halves. So in case you want to make your wife get a bigger smile, pamper her with leather bags or an expensive wardrobe filled with designer shoes or clothes this Diwali.

Day 5 – Bhai Dooj

The fifth day of the period is celebrated as Bhai Dooj. The day ritually emphasizes the love and lifelong bond between siblings. A puja is performed by sisters for their brothers, culminating with sharing of gifts.

Diwali Shopping Offers

Diwali is easily the most awaited time during the year to shop and spend money on whatever you feel like buying. As seen from the information above, Diwali is a festival for everyone – Young, old, siblings, couples and even millennials like us. Each year it is estimated that close to Rs.25000 Crore is spent by Indians on just the shopping during Diwali. This number is set to further increase this year. Private company employees await Diwali for the annual bonus. Those who feel they have no other source of funds to indulge in Diwali shopping can easily avail a Diwali personal loan from Loan Singh. More on that later…

Marketing ploys by major retailers largely go unnoticed. Giant billboards, commercial jingles and Facebook Ads hardly let us turn a blind eye from Diwali’s spending lure. Past years saw a sluggish economy and spiraling inflation which affected sales. Crowds are attracted to malls by celebrities, whereas offers, discounts and schemes know no bound. The e-commerce side of business cannot be lagging behind, can it? Heavy discounts, Diwali centric super sales and free delivery waivers tend to turn our attention to spending big on e-commerce websites.

Long queues force some of us to plan and spend for Diwali much in advance. This is a good tactic to employ. People are not interested in simply buying shoe racks or coffee tables; their need now encompassed sofas and dining table sets. Such items of furniture do not work on the ‘discount formula’ because not always do we need furniture. But, Diwali is that time of the year when an upgrade to your home is paramount. As per a recent study, ‘Gifting Friends and Family’ was the top most reason to spend big during Diwali last year.
