This morning I thought it might be fun to try out some of House Beautiful’s suggestions on ways to discover: What’s Your Color Personality? as are featured in their current ( and wonderful) Issue.
I figured a little colorful feng shui, chromotherapy and colorastrology could be just the ticket to jump starting my self-professed Autumn renewal [...]
