Pretty In Pink

Happy Thursday lovely readers! Hope everyone is doing well and gearing up for a fun/relaxing weekend. I'm super sleepy this morning, (my fault for staying up late reading the Motley Crüe biography, haha), so I'm crossing my fingers that this post is coherent : )

You'll remember last week when we looked at the color yellow (why do I feel like I'm teaching a lesson on Sesame Street, ha)...well, today, let's do pink! I don't wear a lot of pink or even decorate with a lot of pink, but the girly girl in me LOVES the color nonetheless.

Fun, flirty and oh-so-feminine, there's no wonder so many women use this as their signature color!

Words that come to mind when I think of pink:

Tutus

Icing

Cupcakes

Lip gloss
Steel Magnolias

Watermelon

Legally Blonde

Fun Facts about pink:

• Pink is the color of happiness and lightheartedness.


• Looking at bright pinks stimulates energy and increases blood pressure, respiration and heartrate.


• Pink has been used in prison holding cells to effectively reduce erratic behavior.


• In Japan, the color pink has a masculine association. The annual spring blooming of the pink-blossomed cherry tree is said to represent the young Japanese warriors who fell in battle in the prime of life. Who knew, right?


• In 1947, fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli introduced the color "hot pink" to western fashion. She dubbed the shade "Shocking Pink".

So yay for the color pink and ALL things girly and fun!

And speaking of all things girly...Can I just say how excited I am for the weekend? I'm doing a girls' weekend in Little Rock and I'm super thrilled to kick my shoes off and enjoy some good wine and good gossip!
