Hope these little tips help you and your little ones to work together in harmony from home.
Even if you work from home, there are a number of benefits to dressing for success. One of those benefits is the work that you may be able to produce and your productivity. When working from home, there are typically two types of individuals. There are those who work best when comfortable and those who work best when poised for success. If you are the latter, you may benefit immensely from dressing for success, even if you work out of your home. It has been reported by many that the more professional you dress, the more professional results you will likely produce.
When dressing for success, when working from home, it is important to remember that you do have a number of different options. You do not necessarily need to go all out. Although business suits are ideal for both men and woman, a simple pair of slacks and a dress shirt may do.

In the book of Exodus, the Breastplate of Aaron is described to have been mounted with twelve precious stones: ruby, topaz, beryl, turquoise, sapphire, emerald, jacinth, agate, amethyst, chrysolite, onyx and jasper. These twelve stones represented each of the twelve tribes of the Hebrews.
Other ancient cultures, the Hellenics and the Babylonians in particular, have associated certain precious stones with their gods and goddesses, and later on with the planets and the stars represented in astrological signs. These stones were given attributes pertaining to the astrological signs they are linked with, as well as supernatural, protective powers. To wear the particular gemstone associated with a particular month on that given month is to invoke the protection offered by the power of the stone.
Over time and as Christianity came to rise, the Church tried to downplay astrology in the lives of the flock, and so wearing gemstones came to represent guardian angels and the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ instead. The idea that gemstones have the power to protect its wearer was nonetheless retained. However, since only wealthy people can afford owning a different gemstone for each month, most people have adopted the practice of wearing just the gemstone that represents the month of their birth. Since then, these gemstones were referred to as birthstones.
Here are the different birthstones for each month of the Gregorian calendar and the meaning behind these stones.
