October Moodboard, Intentions, and Playlist

In the spirit of two full moons this month, I created this moodboard to feel a little witchy, but also grounded and comforting. I love how the color palette is translational across so many spectrums of business because of it's balance and earthiness. It feels unique but also serious and I think it would lend itself well to a luxury coaching business, retail, or even something in the culinary realm like a restaurant or chef.
