2019+ Trend Story #1:
SHHH!
We choose to control the elements in our lives that are within
our own power. We rethink our connections and convictions
as we place importance on our inner views.
We seek community connections that make us feel comfortable with a calmer state of mind. This cleansing contemplation recharges our next directions and how we will get there.
The palette speaks to quiet moments of reflection, but with an undercurrent of resolve.

We are shifting toward becoming keepers of the Earth that are conscious of sustainability and our relationships with people, nature and our communities.
