Amanda’s Style File: May Means Emeralds
These 15 jewels are sure to bring about the feelings of renewal, healing and prosperity linked to the color green.
There is a lot of psychology around the effects that color has on mood, energy, and even spending. Why do some colors soothe while others spark joy? Why do some encourage creativity while others fuel energy?
