A New Year, A New Color. Meet Radiant Orchid

(Via Sephora)

Unless you have been living on a black cloud, you most likely have head that the Pantone Color of 2014 is Radiant Orchid. Described as a "captivating harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones," by the  company’s executive director, Leatrice Eiseman, this color indeed radiates excitement! It adds a pop of color to everything it is mixed with. I especially like it used as an interior accent. Safe to say,Spring promises to be abloom with color and all shades of purple and pink.
I like it!

Love it paired with any shade of green, especially
chartreuse. Equally exciting, when used as an
accent for neutral rooms.

Positive Thoughts For A New Year

I love New Years Eve! Having seen the stroke of midnight every year since I can remember, I look forward to ushering in another year.  For me, it is a chance for a new beginning, new hope, new memories, and another chance to get life right! Though this year wasn't exactly my favorite, I'd like to end it on a positive note.  Have fun and think happy thoughts!

Here:  Positive Thoughts 
For a Bright New Year

“Because if you’re lucky enough to have people in your life that make you happy, that inspire you, that move you, you need to devour each moment you have together because you never know how many of those moments you have left. These people are sacred.”
– Katie Kacvinsky, First Comes Love (via xokrista)

Make it a good one, my friends, and please stay positive! I'll see you in the
New Year!
