Life This Week 13/3/2017: My Favourite Colour….


As a person who loves the monochromes and neutral tones of the colour wheel for her wardrobe, 
it’s come as a bit of a pleasant surprise to me just how much I love bold, bright primary colours in practically every other aspect of my life.
There’s a lot to be said for blacks, greys and silvers.  They are practical, they go with everything and each other, they miraculously make a person like me look put together first thing on a Monday but colour?
Little feet and little leggings from way back in the day…..
Colour is all about play, laughter and lively energy.

It’s about creating new worlds on paper and in play.

And now those little feet wear trainers and those little legs wear sturdy jeans that always have interesting patches of green and brown at their knees and beaches of sand in their turned up cuffs.

It’s about learning new skills with friends.

Colour adds vitality and interest to food which is one of the reasons I love eating salads and fresh fruit.

I don’t have a particular favourite colour.  I just love the way they look together.  I might love a red kettle but my favourite mug is blue.  It’s the contrast.  I’m a sucker for the contrast.

Colour makes the grocery run more exciting and inspiring.

Now that I look at them all in front of me like this, it does seem a bit excessive.
But, like I said, I love colour.

And then there’s all these colour drenched miracle workers that each do their bit to address my early  morning  all day pasty greyness.  May I just be frank and say you know it’s not good when you have those mornings where your Chinese yellow / gold skin tones have completely vanished and you look …. grey under the yellow lighting of your bathroom.  I mean if my bathroom lights can’t help replace what nature took away what hope do I have to go it alone out past the front door?

That’s where the above half dozen lotions and potions come into the equation.  There’s a bit of tan, a dab of something sort of golden, there’s some shimmery pink in there too and a pencil of beige for good measure.  Grey tones be gone!  Until I wash my face in the evening, that is.

Do you have a love for just one colour or do you love them all?
