    Think Pink

    When putting together this post I just couldn't help thinking: what makes pink so special, anyway? The color pink is usually seen as a youthful, feminine color, but it can be so much more! Pastel pink makes you think spring and new babies, while a hot pink give more romantic, passionate vibes. Many use the color pink to spread breast cancer awareness.

    No matter what particular feelings you're trying to evoke with your food, pink is definitely a positive color. Research has shown that paining pink on the walls of prison facilities has a calming effect on its residents. Who knew color could be so powerful? While pink isn't my favorite color, reading up on it a bit has me considering it's merits.
