Best-Gelato_Ice-Cream

In a town as big and diverse as Los Angeles, finding the best ice cream can be a hot topic. Soft-serve, gelato, sorbet, and everything in between have their devotees, so the best ice cream in L.A. greatly depends on who you ask. One thing you will never want for, however, is a place to discover new sweet treats and confections as new vendors pop up seemingly frequently.

Maybe you’ll see one of your favorites on this list, or discover a new one that you just have to try:

  • N’ice Cream. With four locations throughout Los Angeles, N’ice Cream has attracted considerable attention since opening in 2008. In fact, their freshly made and organic gelatos and sorbets were even named to Travel + Leisure magazine’s best desserts around the world–but you don’t have to just take their word for it. You can come in and sample a scoop of 16 signature flavors, or design your own two-scoop milkshake or smoothie. For the truly adventurous, you can build your own “Thickshake,” which features three hearty scoops of sorbet or gelato. (more…)

Decorate with spring Pantone colors

The Spring 2015 Pantone Fashion Color Report is finally here, giving insight into which colors the designers are designing with this season. This year’s palette is described as minimalistic; however each color has a unique personality that you can incorporate into your own home. Here’s how you can utilize this collection of designer hues for a refreshingly in-style home this spring.

Calm colors to cool you down
After a stressful or chaotic day, it is necessary to have a piece of paradise to come home to at night. Here are three colors that will greet you with serenity and make both you and your guests feel more comfortable in your home.

  • Aquamarine: An airy blue with a dreamy feel, Aquamarine is a color that is cool, calming, and actually acts as a stress reducer. Use Aquamarine as your main or accent color. Pair with other cool neutrals, such as white or Glacier Gray, in a light, bright room for a restful and tranquil atmosphere.
  • Dusk Blue: Retreat into your happy place with Dusk Blue, a shade reminiscent of the sky that will make you feel safe and at home. It is a bold yet quiet blue and will mix well with either neutrals like Glacier Gray or more intense colors like Treetop. Use Dusk Blue in your entryway as an accent color; it will welcome you home and give you a small piece of the sky that is hidden outside your walls.
  • Treetop: A hip, edgy color, Treetop will reassure and relax your mind. Green is the color of restoration, new beginnings, and fertility. Treetop will affect your nervous system, causing you to breathe more slowly and deeply, and slow the production of stress hormones. This color is perfect to use in your bedroom and is great for an accent wall, as it works best as a background to other shades. Treetop pairs well with Glacier Gray and Dusk Blue.

Trendy hues catered to your style
A home should have family, comfort and personalization. Living in a bright and exciting home that you take pride in is important. Here are some bold colors and how to use them to add personality to your space.
