What color should you paint the walls of your new addition?  Well, that depends…are you planning to use it as an office (maybe consider red to increase attention to detail, or yellow for energy), a bedroom (perhaps more relaxing shades of pink or blue) or a meditation/yoga room (I’m thinking a nice, refreshing sage green).

And just what is it about that perfect black party dress that’s so timeless and classic? Turns out that besides being slimming and a perfect canvas for any accessory, black also carries overtones of “…dynamism, authority, and seduction.”
