Celebrating Ladies of August

Ladies of August - they are a dynamic group of women with lofty goals and the determination to reach them. These ladies have a sureness about them that leaves no room to wonder who and what matters to them.

Having a lady of August as a friend means you have someone in your corner who chose to have you in their life. She understands the importance of learning, having room to grow, and enjoying yourself along the way. This lady is worth celebrating and we've got three ideas on how you can make her feel special and celebrate her birthday.

Go Gem Hunting

According to GIA (the world’s foremost authority on diamonds, colored stones, and pearls) the Peridot - which is the August birthstone - is "known for being formed under extreme conditions, as it can be found in hardened lava that carried it from deep within Earth’s mantle as well as in meteorites that traveled from outer space."

This makes Gem Hunting at your favorite jeweler(s) a fun and unique way to celebrate your friend on a special day.

Explore Space

Since we now know that Peridots come from some amazing places, like outer space, spending some time at a planetarium or at a science and space museum could be a great way to spend a day with your friend.

Experience a Luxurious Dining Experience

Begin, or end, the day with a dining experience your friend won't soon forget. Choose a favorite restaurant or cuisine she enjoys - or has been wanting to try - and spend some quality time chatting and enjoying culinary delights you typically save for special occasions - like celebrating a Lady of August.
