Mood Altering Undies

Kate Smith — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 04:46:30 +0000

Remember the novelty panties that had the days of the week printed on the hip? I always thought they were pretty silly except for the lovely rainbow effect of seven different colors in one package.

Now Puttin’ on the Bliss has taken this idea from silly to sassy with their ‘color me balanced’ undies.

I just love this pic and think I’ll hot glue flowers to my clothes pins.

These panties are the creation of Leah Bruns and include all the essential colors for your body, mind and spirit. She suggests wearing a different color each day of the week to experience how color can revitalize and balance you.

So that you don’t forget which color does what the words on the waistbands express the benefits of the color.

For example Yellow: happy – focused – confident

Not sure which color to wear when? Here’s what Leah recommends:

When you want to be bold and take action, get your RED on!

To feel exhilarated and in the mood for fun, get your ORANGE on!

To boost your brain power and feel uplifted, get your YELLOW on!

To calm your nerves and feel peaceful & loving, get your GREEN on!

To enhance your creativity and feel cool & calm, get your BLUE on!

To help open up your mind for greater understanding, get your INDIGO on!

To get inspired, get your VIOLET on!

Think of them as your ’Days of the Week Undies’ for wellbeing!

Color can chase the blues away

Bold colors are not an element that should frighten you out of a colorful home or room – in fact, they should do quite the opposite.

The idea of adding bold colors to your environment can brighten your day as well as your mood, especially when colors are paired with the right neutrals and décor.

“The (post-holiday) blue show”

Most people complain about the post-holiday blues – but not the Fine Arts Center in Eureka, CA. They said that the wintertime emotional phenomenon was the inspiration for their show that opens today, called “The Blue Show.” It includes displays of ceramics and glass in the color blue.

Can your color preferences reflect your mood?

A short quiz, partially based on research by Dr. Max Luscher, who studied how color affects behavior. Take a few minutes to take the quiz and find out.

Color your mood-lites

Changing the color of your room is now as easy as changing a light bulb. Mood-lites offers seven colored light bulbs that are touted as being able to create particular moods, such as tranquility, serenity, passion, or happiness.

While color therapy is gaining acceptance in the scientific community, there is still a great deal of study that needs to be done to fully understand how color affects us both physically and emotionally. This means you will have to decide for yourself if these lights produce the suggested effects.

If you are simply looking for a fun way to change the ambiance of a room, colored lights are an economical and unexpected way to do something different.

At only $4.95 each, who says you can’t buy happiness?

What is it about the green ones?

For years, there has been a myth that green M&M’s are an aphrodisiac. M&M’s played up on this myth in several of their commercials, including one where a mother is speaking to her husband about her concern for a poster hanging in her son’s room that we, as the audience, are assuming is a scantily-clad young babe.

The father replies, “Relax dear. It’s what boys do!” The camera then pans to reveal that their son’s object of desire is Ms. Green M&M, posing in all her glory. To add to the humor, the commercial ends with mom opening the bedside table, where she discovers a drawer full of green M&Ms.

Fortunately, M&M’s now have an entire palette of colors that you can mix to match whatever message you want to communicate. You can see all of the colors and some color suggestions at the M&M’s store, but below are a few tongue-in-cheek recommendations of my own.

Kate’s M&M Color Guide

Sensual: Purple, Dark Pink & Red

Serene: Aqua Green, Light Blue & Blue

Mystical: Purple, Maroon, Gray & Light Purple

Romantic: Pink, Light Purple & Cream

Power: Combinations of Black/Purple or Black/Red or Black/Gold
