    4. I’m frankly partial towards pearls and anything to do with pearly associations, thanks to a very special relation on the web so obviously I enjoyed learning more about the world being our oyster! Thank you so much Karma for opening up all your new places in the world for our visiting/ vacationing pleasures and at the same time, educating us with fun facts that we absolutely enjoy!
