The neck don't work, this is brought to you by the wonder that is iPhone. So, I can only make mistakes in the first window worth or I can't edit it!
I received an email yesterday telling me that Psychologies magazine is moving from April Green into May Wellbeing. Gliding actually, not simply moving. This has been buzzing around my mind annoyingly, it doesn't immediately make sense.
Green is not a state of being
Wellbeing is not a colour.
But what if they were?
What sort of mood would green be? Would green be happy and healthy and successful? It's presumably the opposite of wellbeing, so was April particularly sickly? (yes, how did they know)
Things I associate with green:
Plants. Today, specifically, moss, but I'm guessing that's NOT what they meant.
Um. That's about it.
Maybe they mean a sort of khaki, vomity green? That makes more sense.
So. The other side of it. Wellbeing as a colour. I'm seeing yellow or pink. Sunshine yellow and candy pink, I hasten to add. And the word "wellbeing" conjures up an image of some white toothed Beautiful Person leaping for joy, grinning with sheer joyfulness and innate wellbeingness. You know. The sort that make you want to be a bit sick. If the new magazine's out yet, I've not seen it and I'm getting a bad feeling about the cover. Please no. Please. The only thing more offputting on a cover is Keira Knightley with "that" expression - the punchable one - smirking out at you. Ugh.
Nope. I don't know what they mean. I could read the link. I'll be buying the magazine, maybe all will become clear. Meantime I could just ponder mindlessly, bordering on scathingly. That's always fun.
Maybe wellbeing's always been a colour. No one tells me anything.
The other trembling excitment in my inbox, which held me in suspense for a whole day, was from Boots. They have brought out a better serum! Yes, really! Protect and Perfect Serum, the one that makes you look like Keeley Hawes, is now available in Intense! It works better than a placebo apparently.
Yes, I'm that excited too. I was hoping for a change in packaging, but this! A new variant! It's astounding.
In other news: Dabs are selling cheap stuff, the Motley Fool are giving endless "advice", mostly about which credit card they (probably) get money for recommending, and Firebox are selling weird things. It's edge of the chair stuff.
Disclaimer: I don't get out much.

Green: Balance, peace, self control, hope, calmness, stress reduction.
Wellbeing is Magenta: Relaxing, soothing, gentle, balance of emotions. Or maybe an oyster colour. As relaxed as an tiny baby swimming around.
Keira Knightley is orange after eating too many carrots.
Keeley Hawes is a very bright shade of heritage purple.
I hope that has cleared things up a little. Now carry on, as you were.
