Colour in Your Business is Your Business!

We are all surrounded by colour: in nature, home, wardrobe, office, clinic or salon, but are unaware of the profound effect colour has on our emotions, taking for granted the thought patterns and attitudes that are processed through our daily intake of colour.

Yellow: a Colour of Confidence

Have you ever been to a city you have never visited before? A city where you do not know the streets or anyone there? No street map, no travel plan, no guide? 

THE COLOUR BLUE - HOW COLOUR CAN INFLUENCE YOUR EMOTIONS AND THOUGHT PATTERNS.

By Thelma van der Werff Added Tue, May 13th 2008, 14:12

Blue is one of the primary colours and perceived as a constant in our lives. We speak about ‘blueprints’ and ‘out of the blue’. This colour is strongly associated with sky and water and is quite dominant in our lives, especially here in New Zealand where we are surrounded by the ocean and often see the blue sky. The colour blue is all to do with reliability, trust and dependability. The blue colour of the sky is protecting us from harmful cosmic rays and the blue colour of the ocean has a calming effect on our emotions and reminds us to go with the flow of life. 

Be Your Own Wardrobe Wizard

How often have you stood in front of your wardrobe looking through it feeling less than enthusiastic thinking “I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR” although the racks are probably bulging with more items than they can comfortably hold! You feel you have nothing to put on, the truth is probably closer to you don’t feel excited about anything you have in your wardrobe, and your feeling as though it would just take that one exciting garment ( that you don’t have)  that would transform you and give you the boost you so feel you need. As an image consultant time and time again I have visited my client’s wardrobes and helped them to see the many gems that they DO have hanging in their wardrobes, so often there is so much clutter and disorganization that the obvious choices of what will work well together and the fun combinations you could be enjoying are missed! So you reach for the same thing again and again, probably black!
