what colour is happiness (and a big announcement)

January 31, 2012 by Ella


Finding beauty is finding happiness ~ and yellow happens to symbolize happiness in colour psychology. What does this mean? This means that if you’d like to feel a smidgen happier today, perkier and jolly? – follow this recipe:

Recipe for Happiness:

:: Grab yourself a pretty little bouquet in that rich sunshiny happy yellow, prop it into a simple vase, set it in the middle of the table, put the kettle on, sit, breathe, enjoy a nice tea and… smile. Happiness is in the little things.

I though we all need a little yellow on this last bit of January. I’ve been all comfortable in my grey and neutral tones in my clothes and my home is a bit on the colour-less side – – hmm… I think I need to tap into that colour therapy (with a capital T) and brighten and revive my life a bit! ;)

What’s your favourite colour at the moment?

And  speaking of Happiness….. guess who was just announced the 1st Place Crafts Winner of the Canadian Weblog Awards? It’s me! This is so very exciting ~ I would like to thank the academy – I mean Ninjamatics for hosting this special contest. Go ahead and click here to see all the winners in all the categories.

While you’re here, and are a new visitor from the CWA – you must say hello ;) I would love to ‘meet’ you so please leave a comment below and grab yourself a big cup of coffee or tea and stay awhile right here on Lifeologia ~ there’s plenty to see and read in the archives. I hope you will be inspired.

ps. isn’t it interesting that the winners’ badge also has yellow in the design ~ Now do you really see what colour is Happiness? ;) And what a happy coincidence that I had auto-posted this entry before I knew I was the winner ~ this surely is a happy day now ;) xo

    Congratulations!!!

    I am MELTING over these tulip photos. Yellow and bulbs are two of my favorite things. (Daffodils are my favorite flower…)

    I also can’t remember if I commented yesterday, but your Pooh quote made my day as well…he’s so Zen…
