Naturally, I am drawn to this color because it’s my birthstone...but, seriously, the color is GORGEOUS. It’s a deep, rich green that is both sophisticated and trendy. I was looking around on Pinterest and saw the gold nail studs on a someone's "Manicure Board."

	Tales From Our Awkward Lives By Helen Irias, Rachel Miller April 22, 2013 - 11:47am Grace and poise are two innate qualities that young ladies are expected to possess. Years of National Charity League tea parties and countless, painful Cotillions have taught us this. However, as we matured, these qualities did not seem to grow with us. Nevertheless, we are very optimistic people. As Chumba Wumba so eloquently chants, "I get knocked down, but I get up again."
