How many colors do you know
that have a fruit named after them?
In my discussions with fellow fash­
ion fiends and beauty bloggers, we
asked what are the colors of spring?
We then thought about what color
had the scent of spring? Most of us
came to one conclusion, and that
color was orange.
So for just fora moment, inhale;
think about the color of orange.
What does orange remind you of?
It’s something fresh and new. Now
exhale, and there you go, spring.
Did you know? The first recorded
use of orange as a color name in
English was in 1512 in the court of
by F a S hun

Part 33. Osteoperosis and Bone Loss Reversal
: I have osteoporosis and
now my back has a more
“rounded” look. What is this?
: You might have started
to develop a “dow ager’s
hump” or an abnormal outward
curving of the vertebrae of the up­
per back. Bones become brittle with
osteoporosis and the upper verte­
brae can collapse on each other,
causing a rounded appearance.
To help stop and even reverse
bone loss:
• Develop good body mechan­
ics through exercises to improve
your posture.
• Eat a diet rich in calcium and
vitamin D. Your doctor might pre­
scribe a medication to help prevent
further bone loss.
• Exercise regularly to he
strengthen bones. Talk with a dc
tor to learn exercises you c
safely perform.
Consult a chiropractor if t
curvature o f your upper ba
causes pain or discomfort.

Orange has very high visibility,
so you can use it to catch attention
and highlight the most important
elements of your design. From the
bluest black, beautiful brown or
bronze, to a lighter shade of brown,
the radiance and glow of a melanin
skin tone, orange is oh so cool
against the radiance and glow of a
melanin skin tone.
How can I wear orange? Decid­
ing on whether to combine orange
with your complexion doesn’t have
to be that complex. Your skin tone is
just that, yours. Don’t hibernate
through a whole season, enhance
your energy be elevating your ward­
robe with the energy of orange.
How can I wear different ver­
sions of orange? Just like orange
juice can be energizing and sweet
tasting, the color is known to be
lively and creative. Wearing orange
is fun and can make you feel quite
playful. Think about classical and
modem day painters. Artists love
dabbling with orange hues. Adorn­
ing yourself with an orange accent
piece can also add a suggestion of
liveliness. Orange represents en­
thusiasm, fascination, happiness,
creativity, determination, attraction,
success, and encouragement
You can also wear warm colors
with orange hues like camel, peach,
gold and rust. T h e re ’s also
terracotta, coral, apricot, maroons,
yellow-orange, pumpkin or burnt-
orange
. What clothing goes with orange?
There are several, but think of col­
ors like greens (olive, Kelly), white
(crisp, tan, beige, off white), Try to
avoid combinations like pinks, pas­
tels, reds and blues. For example, a
burnt-orange is different than a
bright hunter orange which can have
too much of an aahh and wow effect.
Ladies: What about make-up?
When complimenting your beauty
regime with orange, don’t go over­
board. Test out a lightly-shimmer­
ing make-up scheme. You can add
bronze to your face, slip, eyes or
even go neutral. You might want to
avoid the whole jack-o-lantem look.
An orange lip yes, an orange eye
combined with an orange lip, no.
Gents: We know you look good.
But you ask, how can wearing or­
ange add swagger to your style?
The color adds a fresh and clean
element to your look. Just make sure
the clothes are stylish or formal while
showcasing your physique. We
know the fellas dress for the ladies.
The wrong dress shirt can create an
undesirable appearance that is ei­
ther too baggy-looking, or too tight-
fitting.
There's a reason why women
check out a man's shoes to get an
idea of the type of man he truly is.
Wear a burst of bold orange sneak­
ers with dark jeans. Or match up an
orange back-pack with a crisp solid
white tee shirt and dark jeans. Your
outward appearance can showcase
your energetic personality.
