Radiant Orchid

Pantone's color of 2014 is Radiant Orchid, which suggests vibrance, elegance, and the gleeful clapping of wedding planners' hands.  To fully induct yourself into the aura of this omen, consider:
* dressing dramatically in color and shapes for a few weeks and then all in plain green for the rest of the year, like a petulant teenager
* giving women everywhere who think they're too cool for roses something to ask for
* hanging out in front of Trader Joe's to make the discount grocer look more upscale
* taking a bunch of new-age workshops, where you can get away with wearing that much purple
* kicking back in a steamy room because regular atmosphere is too dry for you and you therefore only socialize with humans wrapped in towels
