I want to take a second to talk about one of my favorite jewelry materials - Rose Quartz! Rose quartz is a lovely pink crystal that is treasured for its many symbolic properties, most notably as a symbol of everlasting love <3. You've probably noticed me wearing rose quartz plugs in my ears, they're one of my absolute favorite pieces to wear and I think they bring a light, feminine vibe to any look. If you're a bit more spiritual, rose quartz has also been known to give off soothing and calming vibes from its "natural energies." I can't think of a more boho vibe than rose quartz, can you? Check out our latest blog if you want to learn more - "Rose Quartz Body Jewelry: Meanings and Uses."

It's no surprise, you're feeling it, I'm feeling it... It's July, and it's HOT! But even in this brutal summer heat, you still have to find ways to be cool AF. One of the coolest finishes I can think of is matte, and we have an entire collection dedicated to matte body jewelry. Do you need matte belly rings in every color? Got it. What about sandblasted finishes? Got it. Plus we have bonus packs and everything in-between. Obviously, beachy fun is in the forecast as well, and mermaid jewelry never goes out of style. We have everything from crabs, fish, starfish, whales, and sharks to shimmery and iridescent mermaid scales... There's something there for anyone to stand out at your next beach outing. Last but not least, if you're going to be spending more time in the sun, it's super important that you take extra good care of your skin. Our Christopher David Vitamin C serum should be the next addition to your skin care regimen. It nourishes your skin, protecting your youthful brightness and guarding against UV rays all at the same time. Invest in your skin - your future self will thank you! Make sure you check that out now.

I know I mentioned it a bit earlier... But just for extra special emphasis, don't forget to send your pierced and modified questions to DearAlley@bodycandy.com! The more interesting questions I get sent, the more content I'll be able to create for you. If you send in a question/comment, there's a chance I'll answer them like this for The Tea, or you might even end up as a featured comment on our Saturday Dear Alley emails. I'm always chugging along trying to bring you fun piercing related content like Dear Alley and The Tea... Hopefully we'll see you back every week :).
