Let’s face it: the everyday stress our current political jousting inspires sometimes makes us want to go ostrich and stick our heads in the sand. But, before you do so, let’s divert our attention away from the government and focus on a different kind of primary. One that might actually make us happy.
Integrating a primary color like sunny bright yellow into your wardrobe may just do something for your outlook. (You are what you wear, right?) If not, at least it will bring some fun into your closet. Whether it’s an old school rain jacket perfect for spring showers, or sunglasses with a friendly reflection, bring a healthy primary into your life, stat.
