February's most colorful holiday is
Valentine's Day. This post reveals
special ways red, white, and pink
help make DIY projects and gifts
kinder to its people and the planet.
Post updated 1/19/2022
Red is a Valentine's color that is
usually reserved for romantic,
intimate
relationships.
Red vibrations represent life, love,
passion, and desire.
Handmade gifts, cards, and crafts
decorated with red hearts signals
romance and intimacy.
White signifies affection
and appreciation.
A kind gesture that incorporates
white is to use white paper and send
handwritten Valentine's Day notes
to people we care about.
Research shows giving or getting this
type of correspondence makes us all
feel happier.

Affirmation from Nancy Andres |
It's fun and amazing to notice how contagious love is!
White is the color of a white
paper doily decorative wreath,
white chocolates, and the pages of
love poem books.
As a gift to ourselves, we may choose
to paint one or more walls in our
living room or office white. This
inexpensive décor update helps
any area appear more spacious.
White space has a calming effect and
provides an opening for those things,
people, and activities we enjoy.
White roses make an aromatic gift,
and some say they are a sign of loyalty
faithfulness.
The color pink is a combination of red
and white, and blends both colors'
characteristics.
Pink is a nurturing, supportive color,
one that instinctively reminds us of
warm feelings, unconditional love,
and gentleness.
Dark pink signals a mysterious sense
of attraction or gratitude.
Light pink tones convey gentle
affection and
admiration.
