The Color Pink + Giveaway Winner

Hi loves! Happy Valentine's Day!

Appropriately, today we'll be talking about the color pink.  I don't know about you, but I love it. When I was little, my room was pink and white, adorned with Minnie Mouse, ruffles, bows and hearts.

How do we make that transition from little-girl-pink to sophisticated-big-girl-pink? This is the question.

Pink is associated with love and emotion.  It's a less intense version of red.  Interestingly, in it's softest form, the color pink can have a calming effect on an individual at just the mere viewing of the color, almost enough to put one into a passive mood.  In it's brightest, most intense form, it acts much like red, in that it can up your heart rate. So be careful (:  Pink is nurturing, girlie, empowering and gentle.

I figure this is an appropriate color to talk about since it's Valentine's Day AND the color of the year, suggested by Pantone.

Today I'll leave you with a wonderful quote:

"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."
