The Big Pink: A Shade for all Seasons


Part One:

The colors of everything we wear, eat, see, live in and around...actually can make a big statement and have a big impact.

Power moves empower.

More potent than 'millennial pink' but in keeping with clean  trends-a round-up of stuff that caught our eyeballs-in that special  blue/red mashup.

At the 2019 NYSCC Suplliers'Day tradeshow-BASF flashy flashy launched a vegan palette aka carmine -free (that means no dead beetles) CHIONE™ ELECTRIC FUSCIA for the ages-a pure metallic color w/o the usual undertones. Expect to see this added to many makeup collections conjuring up many shades of pink  REALLY SOON.

At a recent Provence wine seminar- tasting hosted by select wines growers of that southern French region...we learned that pink beverages are trending overall-adding to the USA's  ROSÉ lovefest.

ROSÉ  from many global wine growing regions abound- giving this primarily summer sip-year around appeal-as it pairs up well with a slew of  foods including pinkish ceviches- raw seafood-light appetizers party bites-to heartier backyard grill+ winter fare.
Equally versatile-rosé can 'handle' spicier-fiery cuisines-that have been gaining favor in America for the past few years.

Depending on the grapes used and the climate-the intensity of acidic and fruity berry-to mineral bursts of flavors vary. The regional character of terroir...the vineyard soils-impact tastes too-all play into the plethora of pink shades...of this traditionally pale pink wine.

POINTS-a matching tie accessory.
This divine floral bouquet is from WINSTON FLOWERS  -a nationwide delivery service we got intro-ed to at an informative event  hosted by indoor air specialists HONEYWELL -makers of air purifiers that remove 99.97% of  microscopic allergens via its HEPA filters.   Now the sizes and types of filter  choices are housed in rather design stylish machines.
 FYI the worst culprits...-it's rarely flowers but male trees that spread pollen dust-sometimes across country borders. And pet dander...even adorable specimens.

Of course-fur babies attired accordingly.
