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 [...]

Wow, sure wish I had placed a big bet on Mine That Bird in yesterday’s 135th Kentucky Derby. What a race, what a colorful event… what an amazing upset!!!
