The colors you wear, eat and surround yourself with impact your mind and body more than you may realize. Color psychology is the emotional + physical connection between you and a color -- each color relates to a personal experience in our life.

We associate certain colors with a feeling, positive or negative, which is largely why we love some colors and shy away from others! Your favorite color may say something about your personality and life. Play around with colors in your life and see the mental/physical results.

1. Red

Giphy

A color of strength and energy, red grabs our attention and stimulates our brain. Red is typically associated with warmth and passion. Red represents strength, so you feel more courageous and lively when wearing it. Incorporate red into your outfits for a burst of energy and to raise your heart rate before a workout -- we become energized at the sight of red!

2. Yellow

Giphy

Yellow inspires positive vibes and optimism because of its connection to happiness and warmth. We associate yellow with friends and family because it often reminds us of happy, cheerful moments in our lives. If you've had a hard day or are feeling down, try wearing a bright yellow top or spending time outdoors in the sun.

3. Orange

Giphy

Need a boost of creativity? Wear/drink/eat orange to improve your enthusiasm and energy! Orange combines the power of red with the happiness of yellow. Orange is often used for food packaging and advertisement because it makes you feel comfortable and warm. Food for thought -- don't use orange decorations in your kitchen to avoid random food cravings!

4. Green

Giphy

Embrace your natural side with the color green and its connection to harmony, growth and peace. Green produces a calming effect on your mind because it suggests stability and power. Decorate your home with green accents, especially your bedroom, to feel the calmest and relaxed. You can also fill empty spaces with small plants, like succulents, to bring growth and harmony to a lifeless area. Feel the full effects of green by spending time outdoors and going for a walk/run for your workout.

5. Blue

Giphy

Blue strongly affects your intellectual side and is considered the color of the mind. Strong, deep blues promote thought and communication, while light blues aid in concentration and relaxation. Blue is a cool color and promotes mental reflection and intense thought, rather than physical energy and passion. We often find more natural blues in flowers, water and stones!

6. Violet

Giphy

A combination of calming blue and fiery red, violet is the symbol of quality thought and wisdom. It is often used in meditation and reflection because of its calming, but thought-provoking, abilities. Wear violet at your next yoga session to channel your inner heart chakra and reflect on the ups and downs of your day.


Color psychology pushes us to look deeper into our surroundings, from what we wear to what we eat. What's your favorite color?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
