| Red Cap Action |
I have noted previously my obsession for hats and I have a certain favorite red one that I can't seem to get off my head... Even going to the extreme of buying a back up replica in the awful event I lost the original!! My obsession has obviously rubbed off on my sidekick Darby as well and when he spotted a red cap the other day, he just had to have it!! (lucky for me it was on sale!) The color red has been my "color" since my life change in 2010, becoming dispersed throughout my house in bits and pieces,from kitchen appliances, rugs, cushions. Even the wooden love heart that adorns my entry. I went to my friend google, to find out why this may be so.... psych analysis of myself with colors...."Red has more personal associations than any other color. Recognized as a stimulant, red is inherently exciting and the amount of red is directly related to the level of energy perceived. Red draws attention and a keen use of red as an accent can immediately focus attention on a particular element."How the color red affects us physically
- Increases enthusiasm
- Stimulates energy and can increase the blood pressure, respiration, heartbeat, and pulse rate
- Encourages action and confidence
- Provides a sense of protection from fears and anxiety
All sounds pretty reasonable to me and sums up how I feel (I can blame the color red on my energy.. not the amount of caffeine I am consuming, and a good excuse to tell my Doctor next time my blood pressure is taken!) ... So you could say I was pretty excited when we walked into a Pillar of salt in Richmond, surrounded by all things red... heaven!! There were touches of it everywhere.. Including glamorous shining red cups (and Darby and I in our little red hats!) The staff were so lovely!! Even happy enough to take a picture of us in our matching attire with the red cups. I do believe we looked incredibly dorky...or well just downright adorable! Kids and parents dressed alike never gets old, maybe weird though!!Pillar of Salt is not on my "100", so I didn't exactly tick one off my list, but I'm positively sure that it will be in 2012's, so you could say I was before my time! (oh and I had read about it in the Age Good Cafe guide!)

Our coffee experience, although short, was very sweet.. we indulged in a coconut raspberry slice that was eaten up in a flash! (From a quick glance the rest of the menu looked downright delicious as well) My coffee was lovely... Another cafe using 5 senses (they seem to be popping up everywhere and slowly becoming a real favorite of mine. My Soy cappuccino had a strong crema and a super smooth and luxurious finish! It was just what I needed as I was about to embark on a quick (yeah right) late afternoon shopping trip to Ikea to buy photo frames! Maybe coffee wasn't such a great idea...a shot of tequila may have made it more palatable!

| Cheese... we look super cheesy in matching hats! |
On my way out I even managed to snag the last business card... coffee dust and all, very kind of the barista to give it to me!! Ill be back here soon for a little more red therapy!! After all its good for the soul!
Ahh.. Until next time... Life is too short to drink Crap coffee! xxx
