Shades of Blue
"Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality" - Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
In the dead of winter sometimes longing for blue skies, blue waters and anything baby blue brings a bit of joy to the heart and soul. Images come to mind of swimming in the ocean, walking in the sunshine with the blue sky overhead or perhaps wearing a piece of blue apparel brings calmness and peace to the psyche. The serene effect is ever important in the beginning of 2017. The tumultuous changes in the land combined with the gloomy weather requires the imagination to speed fast boldly towards a hopeful and positive Spring 2017.

Brighter blue on eyelids with less on color on lips and if berry lips then an lighter blue on lid.

Don't let the rain, hail, snow, grey and negative energy spin out of control. Instead, liven up the day and focus on the positive and the good times to come.
Blue is the word...Blue is the word..
