How Color in Your Home Affects Your Mood

It’s not a surprise that color is a huge component of how we experience our environment, but are you taking that into account when you choose colors for your home? You may love a white room, but did you know you may be inadvertently making a room less cozy and too sterile with too much white? Or that green is the perfect choice for an entryway because it eases the transition from the outdoors?

Modern color psychology dates back to its origins in the early 19th century with a scholarly book known as Theory of Colors. Though there is some debate regarding the implications of certain shades, researchers, interior designers and marketing professionals seem to agree on these basic tenants:

Red: Symbolizes power and passion. It can be used to warm up…

10 Beach House Decorating Ideas

A beach house can be pure pleasure to own and live in, and it is a life-long dream for most Floridians or transplants (people who move to Florida from other states or countries).  They make great second homes and investment properties for the family to enjoy or rent out weekly during high season.

Does your beach house need a little sprucing up? Or do you plan on buying one that you’d like to remodel? Here are 10 beach house decorating ideas that are fresh as a summer breeze.

1. Ditch the Theme

Your beach house should be a calming display of modern or classic relaxation, not an ornate Pottery Barn showroom. Instead of cluttering the walls and countertops with shells, think of subtle hints that nod to the beachy vibe, like including sandy or coral…

Why Florida is Perfect For Your Small Business

The old song and dance of moving to Florida for retirement is still moving and grooving but that doesn’t mean you have to take up golf or knitting. The Sunshine State has never been more attractive for business owners to start new or bring their already accomplished Co. and Inc down south. Here are a few reasons why Florida is the haven you need for your business. 

 Tax Advantage

Florida has long been an attractive state for tax-conscious individuals and families because it doesn’t have an individual income tax. Plus, the state has garnered attention for its favorable business taxes. In 2019, the state ranked 4th on The Tax Foundation’s State Business Tax Climate Index, which shows how well states structure their tax systems and provide a road map…

Living Near the Coast Makes You Happy, Study Finds

A recent study by the University of Exeter in the UK found that people who live less than a mile from the coast are 22 percent less likely to have symptoms of a mental health disorder compared to those who lived much farther away.

Is it the calm swaying of the palms or the foo-foo drinks with the umbrellas, or perhaps the clear blue color of the water that helps improve your mood?

Researchers concluded that access to “blue spaces,” or spaces by the sea or water, may play a big role in a person’s mental health. While many studies have shown that getting out into nature, even for just 20 minutes, can improve your mood, this specific finding could make a big difference in helping a person’s well-being, as well as the coastal environments themselves.

10 Pet-Friendly Houseplants

Houseplants add a lushness and splash of organic color to any room. However, many species can be toxic to cats and dogs who may decide to munch on a leaf or two. Luckily, there are a few plants that can add beauty to your home without posing a threat to man’s best friend. These houseplants are safe for cats and dogs according to the ASPCA, but since the consumption of any plant material may cause vomiting and gastrointestinal upset, it's still best to keep all houseplants out of reach.
