Mellow Yellow

Pure, bright and sunny - yellow is the easiest color to see. People who are blind to other colors can usually see yellow. Yellow is full of creative and intellectual energy. Yellow symbolizes wisdom. Yellow means joy and happiness. People of high intellect favor yellow. Like the energy of a bright sunny day, yellow brings clarity and awareness. Yellow produces a warming effect, arouses cheerfulness, stimulates mental activity, and generates muscle energy. Yellow is an attention getter, which is the reason taxicabs are painted this color. Use yellow to evoke pleasant, cheerful feelings. You can choose yellow to promote children's products and items related to leisure. Yellow is very effective for attracting attention, so use it to highlight the most important elements of your design.




These are some reasons why I enjoy the color yellow:



Yellow daffodils are a symbol of new beginnings.



"Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot; others transform a yellow spot into the sun" -- Pablo Picaso


Yellow is the color of sunshine. Much like the sun, the color yellow is associated with joy, happiness, intellect, and energy.




Canary yellow diamonds are recognized because of their strong color and their unusual characteristics. Yellow diamonds are extremely rare and expensive, and are cherished for their subtly dramatic appeal. The glow of a yellow diamond illuminates a woman with an aura, no matter the shade. The largest yellow diamond ever found weighs an astonishing 407.48 carats, and is also the world’s largest internally flawless diamond.

Illamasqua Nail Polish in Wayward $9

I adore all candy-colored nail polishes for Spring. They are so much fun and definitely make a statement. This particular brand can be purchased at Sephora.

Nine West Alena Satchel $59

This super-fun leather bag is the perfect Spring time accesory to add a punch of color. It is medium-sized and packed full of compartments. The best part is the animal-print silk lining. I found it at T.J. Maxx for just $29.99.

Adding lemon to your water not only adds flavor, but also serves as an appetite suppressant. You can cut a lemon in half and use it as a natural exfoliant on your elbows or other rough skin areas. Lemon juice can be added to water for a green cleaning solution and also neutralizes odors. Lemon juice works as a natural bleach, and a small amount added to detergent may reduce stains.

"The road to the City of Emeralds is paved with yellow brick." -- L. Frank Baum

The Yellow Brick Road symbolizes the path to a special place, a magical place; a safe haven. It is the path that a person follows to self-realization. This road is never easy and there are always obstacles, but with the support and guidance of others, we can all achieve those things that we have envisioned for ourselves no matter where we are or where we came from. My hope is that everyone will 'follow the yellow brick road.'
