Autumn

After my son was born I could feel myself slipping into a postpartum depression. I bought a string of amber to brighten my mood and make me feel beautiful. (It, along with a spell and some prayers, did the trick. I feel just like my old self, if not a bit sleep deprived.)

I've heard that amber helps with the pain of teething with infants. :)

it definately does, and what a great way to use it as adult as well

congrats !
