Its pretty quiet out there right now. The morning commute is a bit quicker with less cars on the road. Phones aren't ringing as often as they usually do. Long vacations and much needed rest are the only things on some people's minds right now. We believe in taking time for yourself and being with your family and we've been doing that during this holiday season. However we're also still working.
Chris Brogan recently blogged about this time of year and how it can be used to bring things together and set a person up to start the new year in great shape. Here at Luxury Brand Group we're wrapping up some great projects and beginning the motions for programs in the new year. Productivity is high right now and there are some exciting things coming up real soon that we can't wait to share with you.

Zultanite jewelry was featured on Dancing With The Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba
Zultanite is relatively new on the scene but its already making a big impact. Dancing With The Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba wore zultanite jewelry on the most recent episode.
Zultanite is rare. It only comes from a single mine in Turkey. Its also a color changer which means different lighting conditions will change its color dramatically. Here in our office we've seen what it will do while in fluorescent office lights, and then outside in natural sunlight. Candlelight will also change its color. Depending on the lighting, a rich brown, orange, green or red can be seen. Its really quite a stone and unlike any you'll ever see.
