No, we’re not talking about Ireland…we’re talking about the absolutely stunning color of emerald! While scanning through another one of our favorite mags this past weekend we were drawn to this magnetic color of deep, sparkling, pop-off-the-page -green. Emerald is a captivating color that we love to see in fashion, jewels (obvi!) and interior design. Below are some of our favorite takes on this glorious green.

If all you want to do this summer is chill out, then heating up your stove to make dinner isn’t going to help. To keep the sweltering temperatures outside, consider no-cook, dinner-worthy salads and wraps. The bonus? Quick and easy preparation.
The Clean Program is a serious cleanse that focuses on inspiring long-term health habits. It’s a robust protocol designed by Dr. Alejandro Junger MD to cleanse and break old habits. This product is designed and manufactured in the USA.

Try it- its worth it!
Most of us would say wood or tile and maybe even a few would say concrete…but, have you ever thought of sand as flooring in your house? We were so caught off guard and yet pleasantly surprised and inspired when we saw the cover of Elle Decor’s Jan/Feb Special Issue. Don’t you agree there’s no better feeling then when you sink your toes into the warm summer sand? Now you can enjoy that warm summer sand feeling in the comfort of your home all winter long. You’d never have to vacuum again! I’m in!
Or, maybe you’d prefer another earth friendly, ‘Green’ choice we’re loving!

Versatile just like wood, cork flooring can be stained over 50 different colors to fit your needs.
