Red is a sexy color. Think of the lady in red who turns the heads of every red blooded man around her. Think of the Hollywood starlet in her beautiful red gown. Or Julia Roberts, so radiant, so beautiful in her red gown in Pretty Woman.
The irony is that red is one color that few women dare wear.
Some women feel that red is too glaring. Some tried wearing red dresses and felt they looked like fire engines instead. Granted, red is an attention grabbing color. Not for someone who wants to disappear in the crowd. But if you want to be a star, if you are sick of being the perpetual wallflower red is the color to wear.
Red is a fiery color associated with love, passion, ambition.. with living.
A woman who wears the right shade of red looks stunning. She garners admiring glances all around.
Every woman can look really stunning in red.. if she knows what colors in general suit her.
You see, there are warm reds and cool reds.
Know yourself.
Do you look good in black and royal blue? Then you would look best in the cool reds and the true reds. That means choose a pure red or strong red with a bluish tinge. You can wear burgundy well too.
If you look better in pale blues and grays, then a softer, but cool red would be more flattering. Cut a watermelon open and look at that shade of red. This watermelon red is a soft cool red that suits you. Pick reds like these.
If you look better in peach or orange than you do in black and royal blue, then you would look fabulous in a warm red. A red with warmer tones. Look at a ripe tomato. That is the shade of red that suits you best.
If you look best in browns, then go for a brownish red. A red with brownish tones. A brick red would suit you well too. As would the color of red earth.
Once you know your red, you can start building a red wardrobe. You can base your wardrobe on red. Doesn't have to be that exact shade of red but somewhere like it.
A cooler pinkier red for those with cool skin tones. The ones who look good in blue and black.
A warmer, orangier red for those with warm skin tones, who look good in peach, brown or orange.
Now that you have your red, pick some other colors that would go with red and with your skin tone.
If you have warm skin tones, consider getting gold, beige and browns as neutrals to go with your red clothing. Animal prints, in natural animal fur colors go beautifully with red too. Some black would work too as black and red go beautifully together. Take a look at this http://www.everythingred.info/glamorous-red-wardrobe.htm which features clothes and accessories in red and gold with indigo which all suit warm skin tones beautifully. These colors complement one another beautifully.
If you have cool skin tones, consider getting blue, black and grey as neutrals to go with your red clothes. An example would be http://www.everythingred.info/career-wardrobe-in-red.htm which focuses on office wear in red with black, blue and gray to offset the red, for a balanced look in the office.
A wardrobe for leisure wear that also flatters cool skin tones can be found at http://www.everythingred.info/casual-red-wardrobe.htm

What Too Much Color Can Do To Your Hair
What Too Much Color Can Do To Your Hair
by: Jenny Andrews
Sure, we all want to change our look every once in a while and sometimes that involves changing our hair color also. But there are a few adventurous souls that have taken changing their hair color to a whole new level with frequent colorings leaving their hair lifeless and damaged beyond repair.
While there are many professional hair coloring systems out there that only cause minimal damage to hair, many people still insist on buying hair color from department stores so that they can apply it at home. In many cases, this type of hair color causes extreme damage and if you use it too often, it could turn into a nightmare.
You see, hair color is a chemical that changes the structure of your hair. Each time you color, the outside layer of your hair is raised so that color can be pushed into the hair strand. With each subsequent coloring, this outside layer finds it more and more difficult...

Subtly changing the look of your home is as easy as decorating with rugs. Fortunately, rugs are an easy way to update the look of your home without taking away from current colors or designs, and often times rugs are more affordable than other decorating elements. In addition to this, if you move, you simply take the rugs with you. Or, you can use them during different seasons or different areas of your home. However, when shopping for rugs to decorate your home you do need to keep certain tips in mind regarding colors, patterns, location, and treatments of the rugs.
Color is important to consider when shopping for rugs because it affects the way the room will appear. So, if you are decorating a room that is painted a dark color, then you might consider buying a lighter colored rug to add contrast and open the room up a bit. Also, if you are buying rugs for rooms that are painted bright colors or have bright colored...

Color Me Blue

Chris, a new consulting client, asked me to help him increase sales on his affiliate marketing site.
As he was describing his site and the problem, I thought, "This is going to be a quick fix."
How wrong I was!
His site was excellent. Other than a few minor points, it followed all my basic rules for a successful affiliate marketing site.
The site was focused around a single theme in a profitable niche, with an excellent selection of high-priced, high-commission products.
Chris had gone the extra mile to have his site professionally designed, and it was simple, elegant and user-friendly, employing consistent navigation and a nifty database-driven search results system.
He was working directly with his merchant partners to create ad copy that offered his visitors the best possible deals.
And he was advertising in the pay-per-click search engines to drive tons of targeted...

Modern Decor Tip: Blend Not Match
Modern Decor Tip: Blend Not Match
by: Bridget Greuel
Are you having a difficult time trying to match the colors of the different pieces in your modern color scheme? Want to know how Interior Designers solve this problem? I'll let you in on the secret...they blend not match. You can do it too. In fact, I recommend it because it will allow you the freedom of being able to incorporate more pieces into the color scheme and it will make your life easier too since you won't go crazy trying to make all of your decor match perfectly!
How do you determine what blends and what doesn't? A good rule of thumb is to stand back and look at the pieces in question together and to go with your gut feeling or (if you don't quite trust your eye for color) seek out a second opinion from a friend or family member with a good eye. This method is especially helpful when you're working with a pattern that may take on one general color when viewed from a distance. I...

Blue Lobsters Are Real!
Blue Lobsters Are Real!
by: James Smith
Lobsters are supposed to be red right? ... Well, yes and no.
Most live american lobsters are naturally colored an olive green or mottled dark greenish brown. In rare cases, lobsters come in shades of bright blue, white (albino), yellow, black, and red have been reported from time to time. Perhaps the most unusual colors are the "half-and-half" lobsters with a line straight down their backs where the two colors meet.
The major pigment in a lobster's shell, astaxanthin, is actually bright red in its free state; but in the lobster's shell astaxanthin is chemically bound to proteins that change it to a greenish color.
When lobsters are cooked, heat breaks down these bonds, freeing the astaxanthin so that it reverts to its normal red color.
So how does a lobster turn bright blue?
A genetic defect has been found that causes a blue lobster to produce an excessive amount of protein....
