Practical & Magical
The Practical & The Magical
We like practical stuff. So we totally agree with the “regular” self help tips such as:
a) removing bananas from the bottom of your locker or the back seat of your car to diminish all possibilities of your belongings having that disgusting perma-stench
b) cutting your toe-nails squarely to avoid painful (and ugly) in-grown toenails
c) moisturizing on a regular basis
BUT we also really like the magic. This week’s magic? Some tips for the COLOR file:
What are some words that come to mind when you see RED?
Fire… heat… passion… anger…
Red is the color of rubies and blood. It is said to increase heart rates! So… if you want to raise someone’s blood pressure, try throwing something red into the mix.
What do you think of when you see BLUE?
Blue is associated with water… ice… skies… tranquility… truth… coolness. Light blue is often the color put into places to inject some calm. What does this mean for you? Well… because some people see it as a “reliable” color, this might be a good color choice for a suit for a job interview.
We’ll tackle some more color in a future blog. We’d love to hear what your fave color is and WHY…
Xoxo
KQ’s
P.S. Don’t forget that the banana tip applies to most food products.
I personally love the color pink. To me it represents all things girly, and I'm all about that. My poor girls look like Pepto Bismol most of the time.

So what you are saying is, blue for the week when I am stressed and red for the weekend to spice things up! Yay I will do exactly that.

Cool. I personally like green. What's the deal with green?

My new house is completely neutral and I love color and light - am I understanding correctly that I should go with color, make the house 'mine'?

Hey - Thanks for all your comments! Samantha - we've had a couple of people talk about purple. We'll be doing a "purple blog post" just for you! And Bonnie... Neutral is great. But there ARE colors that work to enhance certain areas of your house - and inject some "magic"... Stay tuned everyone!
xoxo And Rule Your Worlds!!
