Some people think Valentine’s Day was dreamed up by Hallmark or Russell Stover. That’s a pretty cynical view though, don’t you think? Most people do think Valentine’s Day is just for people who currently have a sweetheart, but I don’t buy that either. I don’t have a Valentine this year, but it’s ok, really. Don’t cry for me. For me, Valentine’s Day is a genuine, validated, honest-to-goodness reason to celebrate my favorite color…pink! It’s a beautiful thing. Let me count the ways I love pink pink and more pink!
- Pink - in some shade – looks good on everyone, whether it’s clothes or makeup.
- Pink goes with every other color. Think about it. Pink with neutrals: brown, gray, black, white. Pink with brights like orange and yellow sends you off on a crazy fun 60s trip. Pink with green is fresh, pink with blue is sweet, and pink with red is beyond fun and cheerful. What have we missed? Pink with purple? With aqua? It all goes together. Can you say that about any color? I think not! Pink rules!
- Pink works in unexpected ways in decor. It doesn’t have to be Barbie or Strawberry Shortcake. It can be a subtle accent shade, or it can be a strong punch of unexpected color. How brave are you? I’m pretty brave…the condo I lived in for 10 years had pink living room walls. I mean pink! Ralph Lauren Duchesse Satin metallic luminescent pink walls! Sadly, they discontinued this paint, so I can never recreate that room that I loved.
- Pink‘s music is a great choice for your iPod cardio playlist!
