Hope to see you there!
One easy way to look vibrant and healthy is wearing the color teal (blue-green). It’s a magical color that is universally flattering on all skin types.
As we learn in art class, colors opposite each other on the color wheel are called complementary colors. When placing complementary colors together, each color looks brighter and naturally good together.
Skin coloring, can be applied to the color wheel too. As you can see, it falls into the red-orange family. Now, if you look directly across the color wheel. What color do you see?…VOILA!…It’s teal! Teal is a complimentary color of red-orange. And since virtually all skin types are in the red-orange family, teal is incredibly flattering to wear. 
The other magical property of teal is its flattering range in color value and intensity. It’s hard to find a variation of teal that doesn’t look good on people. To illustrate this point, I took the same teal fabric and draped it on four different people. Each of us has unique coloring (warm, cool, and neutral) and you can see the same shade of teal looks great on all of us. (**This works for people of color as well as caucasian skin tone**)
Since Kristin was absent during our photo shoot. Here is a photo of her wearing a different shade of teal. Doesn’t she look great?
Next time you grab something to wear, grab a little teal. It’s a magical color.
Thanks for stopping by!

The Pinners Conference made its way through downtown Minneapolis this weekend. Lots of DIY activities, products and even a few familiar faces popped up. It was good to see a Pinterest inspired event drawing lots of young DIY enthusiasts. Check out some photos below.

When getting dressed each morning, wearing something as dark as my hair helps me look better. It’s a simple trick that can improve any outfit. Take a look and see what a difference adding a medium dark (hair color) accessory makes in my overall appearance.
When I’m out and about, guess what color accessories I’ll be sporting—-medium dark brown, just like my hair color.
Thanks for stopping by!

…
Well, call me technologically challenged but it’s a video sneak peek and Facebook is the only venue (?) that will let me upload it. So you’ll have to go to this link to see the video-and don’t worry, it’s only 2 minutes long 🙂
Must be super hi definition, huh?
Maybe I should stick to sewing…
