Trend Predictions From Pantone:

Blue Iris - Choose our Powder Blue Royal Lilac - Choose our Hyacinth Shady Glade - Choose our Sea Green Caribbean Sea - Choose our Turquoise Aurora Red - Choose our Scarlet Red Shitake - Choose our Light Olive Green Withered Rose - Choose our Mauve Twilight Blue - Choose our Blueberry Burnt Orange - Choose our Pumpkin Ochre - Choose our Golden Honey

Trend Predictions from The Knot:

• Steel gray (choose our Charcoal) will replace chocolate brown as the accent color. We absolutely love this soft yet deep hue teamed with butter yellow (choose our Sunlight Yellow), bright aqua (choose our Glacial Green), rich eggplant (choose our Amethyst), or pale pink (choose our Baby Pink). It's so versatile!

• In recent years, white has taken a backseat to bold hues like hot pink, orange, and purple. The classic color (or lack thereof) is poised to make a huge comeback in a fresh, modern way. Palette partner: Rose-colored metallics will add a big dose of sophisticated glamour.

One day we will wake up and discover we are family

Almost a year later, watching this trailer still brings tears to my eyes. When I first heard about The Shift Movie, I immediately sent a link to their website to everyone I could think of.



To help spread the word and raise donations, I developed these tealights scented with a meditation blend of essential oils. Share enlightenment with your loved ones with The Shift Candles, or make a donation to the International Documentary Association to help finish the first film made by the collective for the collective.

Aromatherapy Benefits: Scents of Childhood

While certain essential oils should be avoided with children and pets, or if you have health conditions like epilepsy, diabetes, high blood pressure, pregnancy, or sensitive skin, there are many essential oils that are safe and effective for your family's everyday needs. Be aware that the healing benefits are only attained by using 100 percent pure essential oils, not chemical fragrance oils.

Before applying any essential oil mixture to the skin, perform a patch test by applying a small quantity with a cotton swab to the on the back of your wrist or inside forearm, cover with a bandage and leave on for up to a day to test for a reaction. If irritation, itching or redness occur, bathe the area with cold water. Discontinue use or reduce the concentration level used.

Using scent to kill bugs

How your home smells is as important as how your home looks. Aromatherapy and the use of essential oils can make your home feel both cleaner and cozier. The aroma within a space can also imply a cultural influence and the use of essential oils can disinfect and even keep pests such as ants and spiders at bay.

A few drops of the right oils here and there can make life at home smell, look and feel better - not to mention that this is a greener and healthier solution than using store-bought chemical solutions.

It doesn’t take long to get hooked on essential oils at home and there are literally hundreds to choose from, but to get started buy the four key oils: lavender for calming; lemon or grapefruit for cleaning and uplifting; eucalyptus for revitalizing; and peppermint for energizing.
