OCTOBER 2021 - SMOKY QUARTZ 

September marks the official start of fall, but it really doesn't feel like the season is in full swing until the calendar shifts to October. There's just something about this time of the year that really screams autumn! it's a time to get cozy and lean into the shorter days. The color of the month for October is inspired by crisp evenings during the spookiest time of year: say hello to Smoky Quartz! 

As a gemstone, Smoky Quartz is said to be a grounding and balancing stone. It is said to help neutralize negative vibrations and is often used as a "detox" stone. It brings calming emotions and can help relieve anxiety and stress in the body. Many people like to keep this stone close to their bedside, as it is also said to help prevent nightmares while also helping to manifest your dreams. 

This elegant shade would also make a gorgeous choice for the outside of your home too! Paired with a simple crisp white or cream trim, it gives any style of home a look that's clean and modern, while highlighting the natural elements surrounding it.
