Remarkable Red

I know you've guessed it by now...that red is one of my favorite colors, and it's not just for lighting up your spring fire. It's a summertime color as well. Whenever I wear anything that color, I feel alive and of course, muy caliente! A vibrant red is a color that goes with any skin tone, including my Latina shade. The color red symbolizes energy, excitement, passion, and good fortune, which we all could use in this recession. There is a reason stop signs are red. They get your attention. This summer make everyone stop dead in their tracks when you emerge in these two red hot numbers from Nordstrom. You can choose from a solid red to a playful print.

If you just want to use red to accessorize, you might want to follow David Bowie's advice: put on your red shoes and dance the blues, or maybe even some salsa or merengue. Either way you can heat up the night with this scarlet and crimson wedge from Anthropologie. Add some excitement to your eyewear with these sultry Michael Kors Aviator shades that show jut a hint of red.

If you're wearing red, then of course, you should be eating red! Ahhhh....wonderful tomatoes. Tomatoes come in many shapes and sizes just like us girls....from cherry to roma to beef steak. No matter which one you choose, enjoy them because the health benefits of tomatoes are off the charts. They are an excellent source of Vitamin C... which if you're one of those girls who's always bumping the corner of the table, don't worry. Vitamin C to the rescue! Vitamin C in tomatoes is good for healing cuts and bruises. Ouch! Ten cuidados, chicas! They are also rich in lycopene which is a powerful anti-oxidant that reduces the risk of cancer and heart disease.

That's it for now. Don't forget....with Palette 2 Palate, color is in all year 'round! Esta pronto, amigas. Until next time, my friends.
