Unfortunately susan_ 66 there is colour is psychologically and historically related either way, and dark blues re more often not considered masculine when building an interior. I worked in a design centre where much time was spent picking apart colour association, and used it to help market the products in imagery. There are feminine blues ofcourse, but my comment specifically mentioned indigo and low chroma colours, which are toned. With black and greys, and I used the phrase 'added masculinity' referring to the boldness and strength of colour they bring to soft and delicate colours of blush and peach. Just from that you can see how colour is associated, bold and strength= male, and soft and delicate = female. it is what it is. In my example, ie an interior, I meant it to be masculine. Baby blue I wouldn't have thought was masculine, but is a gender specific typically only when there are two options. Pink or blue!

I have to have a car to get to work, our public transport is so poor. I have had my car for 3 years and 9 months I have done 11000 kilometres in that time. I rarely use it on weekends or holidays, I walk to shops etc. my husband also needs a car to get to work as no public transport to his work. We tend to use his on weekend mainly as we have tandem car parking and mine is always in front. I drive a Suzuki swift, I fill it up about every 4-6 weeks, it is a bit of a joke really. When we retire we will go to one car I presume

Jen, I have felt the same guilt with how we get wrapped up with superficial things such as the colour and pattern of tiles etc. (I also keep thinking that what we are experiencing now, is just a fraction of what some in the world experience every day of their lives). Whilst this is a sad and scary time for many...and we can't visit some of our family and friends who are elderly/have had cancer treatment which is also concerning for them ..etc, there is also a part of me that likes the fact those of us in a first world country, have been forced to slow down, to appreciate the simpler things such as song and dance, nature, to think of helping (loving) thy neighbour more, and to appreciate more what we have taken for granted in the past. I think it is sweet also that on online work conference calls, people are showing their kids and pets to their work colleagues. In some way, this crisis has brought us closer together and to stop and check in on how others are doing more - largely because we have more time to do so now...... sometimes "to be still" for a period of time is what brings out more of the best of us humans and how we show care to others. I have also seen people exercising more.....it is almost like in a way, this time has made us strip life back more to the basics....to the things that count.....healthy mind, healthy body, healthy soul, healthy community.

There aren’t many things in life that indulge us quite like a vacation does. Appreciating the experience extends beyond the panoramic views, unfailing service and the (untouchable, but very desirable) mini-fridge. Instead, the most enjoyable elements are found in the finer details and luxe decor – satisfying senses we didn’t even know we had. As a connoisseur of crisp sheets and poolside cocktails, I felt it was my duty to discover what makes our hotel adventures so unforgettable, and how you can transport these very factors into your own homely staycation. For those who don’t know, a staycation is exactly what it suggests; a vacation from the comfort of your own home. To assist you in your newest creative project, I needed to uncover the magic spells they put on our pillows to make them 100 x snugglier. Why opening the cupboard to fresh slippers and robes is the highlight of my life? And don’t even get me started on the bathroom miniatures – there is something about tiny soaps that just make everything better. (Also…no, I won’t stop stealing them!) Inviting the staycation into your own home can be easily accomplished; preserving the practicality of living there and inspiring luxury, without breaking the bank. Take your passion for comfort and evident appreciation for sumptuous pleasures – allowing your imagination to curate the perfect space.
