Home Therapy

Just as the trends are changing in fashion, similar updates are being represented in the home furnishings/interior design industry.  You see the same patterns, textures, and colors being displayed because the two arenas tend to draw from the same inspirations; art, media, society, customer's needs and desires.

See how two companies that contribute to home interior trends (Pantone and ICI Delux) came up with their 2011 colors of the year.  Honeysuckle, Pantone's color, is believed to be bold and uplifting, perfect for this economy.  They found Honeysuckle is a color that will create a healthy glow when worn by men and women.   ICI Delux picked Citrus Yellow.  According to ICI,  Citrus combats fatigue and depression as well as minimizes stress and anxiety!  Both are bright, fresh, and feel good colors.

Already being seen in the apparel world, incorporate some color to your home or closet with these trends and see how your mood changes.

Another great home color trend that I love is violet/lavender. The color is both classy and comforting.  I found a link that shows how the color can be used in basically any room of your home.  View the link to see if this color is fitting for your space.

Kelp Powder - Mineral Hair Treatment

View my sea kelp natural hair treatment I tried over the weekend.  It is a simple process that offers great results- shine and additional minerals that are great for the hair.  My concoction included kelp powder, aloe vera juice, and oils.  I decided to use coconut and red palm oil in my mixture, but feel free to use whatever oils work well with your hair- almond, apricot, etc.  Leave the mixture on for 2 to 4 hours.  It's easy to wash out, and the smell is minimal.  The first pic of my hair shows my texture prior to the treatment.  View the sheen and length after treatment.  This is a completely natural home remedy.  Care to learn more about kelp and how it supports hair growth, and the overall body-depending on how you use it.   Check out the link from Herb Wisdom for additional info.   http://www.herbwisdom.com/herb-kelp.html
