Color, color, everywhere!

Just as we thought grey was the "new black" or that black was back being the "new black," color enveloped us all over!

Those of us who have seen "Sex and the City" can tell that screaming yellows, navel oranges, bluer-than-the-sky blues and bright-hello-there Kelly greens are back! I think I lost count of the number of yellow shoes and belts worn by the actresses! Needless to say, I was wearing my snake-skin yellow pumps to the premier... A girl must have her colors!!

Just as I was about to block black out of my summer wardrobe, I looked through my own make-up bag to see what kinds of colors I have to compliment my new ambitious move. Hmm, not much in there other than many shades of gold & bronze & silver (all- of, course- to compliment my usual all-black attire). So, I have been in the mood thinking about adding some color to my orange make-up bag.

Hey, this is no challenge to me! I reached out to my personal DIVA, owner of Thevi Cosmetics, a brand new venture combining beauty and diversity, and guess what? Yes, it's all about color! Celebrating the launch of its brand-new website, Thevi brings us options to wear color without looking like we're in line waiting to audition for Bozo-the-Clown for Barnum & Bailey! (OK- not that there's anything wrong with Mr. Bozo, it's just not my career path...)

Here's how the owner, Thevaki Thambirajah, describes her line: "This has been a passion and dream for the past 3 years. Through my own journey growing up in the United States, I found the market needed a beauty brand that would celebrate women who balance both modern lifestyles and the ethnic traditions. I've created this modern line of cosmetics, which women can easily find colors to match their skin-tone and express their love of color in their everyday lives."

Two-thumbs up for Thevi! So, if you embrace color in food, fashion, home, spirituality, nature,..., check out this new brand of cosmetics that celebrates color in our lifestyles and traditions.
