If You Can’t Smoke It Make Hemp Clothing

There has long been a debate in our society on the use of hemp as raw material for manufacturing. The debate of course centers on the fact that hemp and marijuana are the same plant. However, there is a very significant difference. In order for a hemp plant to produce THC, the chemical in marijuana that produces the high that makes it so popular, the plant must be prevented from completing its fertilization process.

Are We Really Posting About Color Schemes?

There is no doubt that color has a tremendous affect on how we feel, both mentally and physically. Most have people have colors that they believe they look good in and will wear few others. The “What Season Are You” method of dress that enjoyed some popularity during the 1980s was, at its heart, a color matching system. (Showing our age much?)

The question remains however, whether there is scientifically testable and so reproducible basis for the effects and appeal of coloring. While this may seem very abstract, it is of interest to retailers and wholesalers alike. It informs decisions regarding what kinds of stock to carry, advertising, interior, and web design, and even how we dress for business encounters.

Hookahs are the Latest Hipster Thing

Waterpipes, or Hookahs, are a growing trend among many smokers. And Hookah Lounges are being flocked to by the college crowd who are often to old to sit in their dorms but to young to drink. The music is ambient, Middle Eastern and anything mellow. Often there is a variety of food and drink to aid the social atmosphere. From exotic baked goods to chai drinks to the ever appropriate Turkish coffee. Patrons sit on pillows or seats low to the ground. The centerpiece on the table is the hookah itself. Standing over a foot and a half in height, these wonders of blown glass and metal evoke a scene from the Tales of the Arabian Nights.
