Flashback Friday - The Hypnosis of Hibiscus

Today is Michael d'Agostino's Flashback Friday! The idea is to republish an old post of yours that maybe didn't get enough attention, or that you really liked, or that you think others will really like..

As I started this blog in 2010, and then took a few years off to raise my little ones (only getting back into it this past November), I know there are a LOT of you out there that did not see some of my earlier posts.

You can see the original post HERE.

The Hypnosis of Hibiscus

Many Hibiscus plants are grown for their showy flowers or used as landscape shrubs. Many species are used to attract butterflies and bees. Hibiscus is also a primary ingredient in many herbal teas. It is used as a vegetable and to make herbal teas and jams, especially in the Caribbean. All over the world, the tea drink is consumed hot or cold. It is known as Bissap in West Africa, Karkady in the
Middle East, flor de Jamaica in Mexico, Gongura in India and Brazil. Some refer to it as roselle, a common name for the hibiscus flower. The Hibiscus is used as an offering to goddess Kali and Lord Ganesha in Hindu worship.The Hibiscus is used as an offering to goddess Kali and Lord Ganesha in Hindu worship.Hibiscus, especially White Hibiscus and Red hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis), is considered to have medicinal properties in the Indian traditional system of medicine, Ayurveda. Roots make various concoctions believed to cure ailments such as cough. The flowers are boiled in oil along with other spices to make a medicated hair oil to prevent greying and hair loss. The leaves and flowers are ground into a fine paste with a little water and the resulting lathery paste is used as a shampoo plus conditioner.A 2008 USDA study shows consuming hibiscus tea lowers blood pressure. And I bet you thought it was just another pretty flower!!

Pantone's Color Of The Year

Well, it's finally out....Pantone, the industry leader when it comes to matching your favorite color, has announced their 'Color Of The Year'.....Ultra Violet!
With it's fresh bold look.....and let's face it...this year we NEED something Fresh and New..
Ultra Violet is sure to bring us to new and exciting places in the world of design! 

Created in honor of international icon, Prince, their custom color, “Love Symbol #2” is a distinctive blue based purple hue inspired by Prince’s custom-made Yamaha purple piano which was originally scheduled to go on tour with the performer before his untimely passing at the age of 57. Prince’s association with the color purple was galvanized in 1984 with the release of the film Purple Rain, along with its Academy Award-winning soundtrack featuring the eponymous song. While the spectrum of the color purple will still be used in respect to the “Purple One,” Love Symbol #2, will be the official color across the brand he left behind. When we think about Prince, we see a uniquely brilliant artist who continually throughout his illustrious career broke new ground as he perpetually challenged the norms in whatever space he played, leaving behind an indelible mark on music, art, fashion and culture. Paying tribute by developing a special purple color for this globally renowned talent known worldwide as “The Purple One” seemed only right and a way for his artistic legacy to live on forever.

Why this particular purple? As you can imagine, many are asking, especially now. Was it because purple is one of the shades worn by the Minnesota Vikings, the football team who played in Prince’s home state where he continued to live and work until his last day? It could be. After all in 2010 Prince recorded a three-minute, 41 second anthem titled “Purple and Gold” specifically for the Vikings at his Paisley Park Studios in the Minneapolis suburb of Chanhassen shortly after the Vikings' 34-3 win against the Dallas Cowboys in the 2010 NFC divisional playoffs.

Or should we attribute Prince’s fascination with this particular blue based purple shade to its enigmatic status, its mystical associations and its complexity as a color that is a combination of the excitement of red and the tranquility of blue making it in essence the marriage of two diametrically opposed emotions?

We are not sure of the exact reason, however what we do know is that the language of this unique new purple, “Love Symbol #2” conveys an aura of mystery, intrigue and unconventionality, a color that stands apart from all others, something Prince, a performer of distinctive style certainly did.

Come and get in on the 'Purple Craze' with a beautiful bold Sand Dollar Rope Bracelet in Violet at Handmade Jewelry Haven!

The Ocean's Emotions - White Sea Glass

Color has always played an important role in my life. Just like the style of the clothing you put on each day, color selection can have a big impact on others as well as yourself.

People pick out jewelry seemingly on a whim, however, studies suggest that there are deep emotional triggers that can cause us to pick out one colored stone over another.

Frosted or white Seaglass is the most commonly found color of the Seaglass family.

White is usually associated with new beginnings. It can bring a sense of cleanliness, and freshness.It lends an air of classiness and refinement. It is purity and goodness and light. It is also thought of as heavenly and lighter than air. White is considered a positive color and is associated with peacefulness.

I personally wear a lot of white. I find it professional at work and also find it easier to clean.

How does white make you feel?

Come check out some white Sea Glass at Handmade Jewelry Haven!
