Round Beads
where can i find exact beads from brush holders in Sephora?
I have seen the colorfil floral beads and they are similar but are not round. Does anyone who use to work at Sephora know where they get them or where i can get some. Or anyone who just happens to know where to get them. I went to sephora and one of the employee i asked had no idea.
here you go.

Eye Beads
Why do jews wear evil eye jewelry?
I am blessed to work in a very religiously and culturally diverse area. I've noticed that a lot of people who follow the Jewish faith wear little blue glass beads with eyes painted on them. I asked someone what they were once and was told they are 'evil eyes'. Does anyone know what exactly they are for? Is there any religious connection or is it just a superstitious thing? Thank for your time.
It's not an evil eye - it's the opposite. It's not actually a Jewish religious item; it's a traditional folk jewelry, Sephardic in origin, to "ward off the evil eye." They're usually shaped like a hand (called a hamsa, or chamsa), or sometimes like a fish. I haven't seen the eye-only variation you describe, it could be something that started locally in your own community. It could also have some original basis in Kabbalah, where much of the astrological and mystical aspects of Judaism generally spring from.
Anyhow, religiously they have no purpose - it's pretty much the same as carrying a rabbit's foot or a four-leaf clover. Some people may believe it brings them good luck (or keeps away bad luck, anyhow), and others probably just think they're cool. Most Jews - at least religious Ashkenazi ones - don't wear them.

Are Mala Beads an acceptable gift??
My new bf is on his journey through Buddhism and I thought that Mala Beads might be a nice gift for Valentine's day. Would this be an appropriate gift from me or are these something that would come from another buddhist? dharma teacher? I'm fairly ignorant to the ways of Buddhism.
Hi
Yes You can purchase these for Him and I'm sure He will be delighted
If I can offer some advice
Generally speaking many Buddhist prefer the longer beads of 108 finding these to be more suitable when reciting Mantra or Buddha Recitation
Best check first If you want this to be a surprise gift You can always ask him to explain to You the difference between the longer and wrist Mala You should then see His preference
They are made in many different material Including bone
You would need to be careful which material You choose
Choice isn't made in the same way a Lady would do when choosing a necklace for Herself
These different materials serve different purpose's depending the on the particular practice the Practitioner is engaged with
Again it is best to check
A general purpose Mala is made in light or dark Sandalwood The colour being no more than personal choice
and also Bodi Seed
Buying such a Gift will generate great Merit
Blessings to You
May this help
