Colour Theory

I love the idea that exposure to certain colours can really alter our moods and our way of thinking.  Sometimes we choose certain colours for our walls or our power suit because we like how it feels, yet don't necessarily know why.  Or we are attracted to a certain colour combination without explanation.  Did you know there was actual science behind how colours make us feel?  It's pretty fascinating.  

So, that said, I was thinking about how to best start our mornings, and how to make the most of our new normal.  I know a lot of us are working from home these days, with shelter in place all over the country/world, as well as engaging in social distancing.  I think we could all use a little purposeful dose of positivity at the start of the day.

Each of us have our own morning routine.  That said, mine starts with a hot beverage.  For me, it's almost always black coffee made stove top in my Chemex, and on extra special days a Lavender London Fog. 

Pink evokes feelings of peace, compassion, and love. It is also the color of femininity and nurturing, as well as understanding. Unlike its cousin red, pink is usually more subtle and cheerful. Lighter hues like this handmade CERAMIC MUG are more soothing and tranquil.

The color purple is often associated with royalty, nobility, luxury, power, and ambition. Purple also represents extravagance, creativity, wisdom, dignity, grandeur, devotion, peace, pride, mystery, independence, and magic.  Pour some coffee in me!
