Green Tings
For our July campaign, we wanted to go with a green theme. Firstly I, (Neka) absolutely loves the color green, but green means so much more to us.
Green is Growth.
Firstly, the color green reminds us of growth, LIFE, healthiness, abundance, and prosperity. When we see beginner spuds or healthy plants, they are at their most green. Green land that is cultivated, and nurtured properly yields harvests that nourish future generations. There’s nothing like the beginning of spring, the fresh blooms, fresh fruits and veggies, and new leaves on the trees to remind us of the magic, and consistency of this great planet.
Green is sustainability.
Secondly, green can also mean sustainability. How are we taking care of our planet? We make recycle, repurpose things that we already have, and definitely use eco-friendly straws… (because, we’re saving the turtles too.) Being more mindful, more green, and more intentional on how we navigate the world, is what helps us become better people, and the world become a better place.
Green is nourishing.
Finally, when you eat green, you are giving yourself some of the best benefits for your body… especially if you consume more than 4 alcoholic beverages per week. Some green places that we love to eat and drink (LOCALLY) are Huriyali, Verde, Clean Juice, Blend Juice, Gnome Cafe, Harold’s Cabin.
Green drinks are a must have. Especially after a long weekend. We love to juice, or get juices from the local shops we mentioned above. A green juice or smoothie will completely change the way your body feels. For happy hour, we love some green cocktails. The cocktails that we feature in the green promotion are called “The Green Lotus” and “Spritz Verde”, the recipes are below.
“Spritz Verde” (low ABV)
1 oz Midori
1 oz pineapple juice

What does green mean to you?
In conclusion, Green is such a regal color and has so many meanings. We have so many people telling us on Instagram what green means to them, and we are interested to know what it means to you? Cheers
