Gonnelli 1585 Tuscany Extra Virgin Olive Oil

It manages to be a little spicy, bitter, and a little herby all at once. A foodie father will have a nose and the tastebuds for this special gift.

That Personal Touch: Monograms & More

Viva Magenta!

And the Pantone "Color Of The Year" is Viva Magenta! It's bright, bold, fun and fearless. To me it is somewhere between pink and red with a little blue mixed in. Pantone states:

 "It is a new animated red that revels in pure joy, encouraging experimentation and self-expression without restraint, an electrifying, shade that is manifesting as a stand-out statement. "

I can tell you that this sizzling shade is not used as much as I expected.  The retailers call this shade anything but magenta. I have tried my best to stay true to the color as depicted by Pantone in the first image. There are many interpretations.  Here's how you can infuse your life with color.
