"Okay, why the pink?"
I make it very clear that my brand is unisex and some people wonder, "Okay then, why the pink?" It's because pink is my soul's color; I wanted the website and graphics to really show me and my brand; describing me and describing my brand go hand in hand. They are one. So I couldn't have the shop without some pink.
I didn't always like pink. In fact, I was more so deterred from the color because of the girly connotations it has: barbie, princesses, purses. I'm not girly at all so growing up I would've never thought the statement, "pink is one of my favorite colors" would come out of mouth but it does and it is. My favorite color was red. I loved, and do still love, red because of the multiple connotations it has: passion, anger, love. So many emotions in one color, it was dope to me. But I did notice that I wore a lot of pink. It was as if my soul was attracted to the color.
After my first spiritual awakening and diving into my spirituality, I got a few messages from my spirit guides that pink was my soul color. There were two key moments that told me so. The first was diving into my natal chart and finding that my north and south nodes were Libra and Aries respectively. Venus and Mars. Pink and red. Red to pink. It made sense to me: start out red but then you add light (white) you get pink. I felt like that was, and is, my spiritual journey in a nutshell. It told me that pink, the attainment of balance and free flowing love, was my soul's color/mission.
Another key moment was when I was having a spiritual day with my homegirl. We went outside and did some yoga in the backyard and then somehow went to doing our own things. She was laying on her yoga mat asleep, I thought. And I had gone to walk in the grass to do some grounding, then I came back down and sat next to her to meditate. After I don't know how much time had passed, we both came out of it and she had a story. She told me how she had felt asleep but wasn't asleep, maybe just in a deep meditative state, but we didn't know that's what it was called at the time. Even though her eyes were closed, she had saw me walk out into the grass and come sit back down next to her. She saw me mediating, she saw little blue, squiggly lines vibrating around me and a thick pink "circle," or I guess, band, around me. I was stunned, all I could really say was something like, "wow, that's so interesting, that's crazy." I was just so intrigued.
That pink band though, surrounding me, resonated because pink had already been popping up in my life frequently and here was another synchronicity. It was further confirmation that pink really is my soul's color.
So that's why you still see pink in the shop. It's nothing as frequent as in my last website for those of you who remember. I took away a lot of pink that was in the first design in order to better match my unisex vibes, but of course, I couldn't let it go completely.
