I chose hot pink. (No one’s more shocked than me!) Per this infographic, hot pink inspires feelings that are, “exciting, theatrical, playful, hot, attention-getting, high-energy, sensual, wild, tropical, festive, vibrant, stimulating, flirtatious.”

Doesn’t that sound like the very best vacation?

So, I pulled out the one hot pink lip product that I have and wore it all day, through breakfast, working alone in my sweats, walking the dog, some very hot soup, and a project planning meeting.

And, it worked.

I woke up this morning with an extra jiggle in my step. I had ideas, excitement, and a literal hunger in my belly.

I suspect that I am not alone in my late-January-blankness. If you’re feeling bland or bored, but hot pink lipstick is a hard pass, I’ve gathered up 10 hot pink links. They run the gamut from silly to thought provoking, from high art to low. I hope they get you back in the magic, and back in the groove!
