iNTERACTION: sweet thoughts

















[C is for cookie...]

An ingenious movie title once questioned: "What the bleep do we know?" The true answer is probably "Not much," but it sure can spark colorful dialogue. The initial rub in any riot or rally, the first friction in any fight or fray is verbiage. Words influence actions. So let's talk. And think. Something wonderful may come from it.
incite conversation. ignite passion.

iNVITATION: sweet streets
















[West side, Chicago]

Share vividly hued global flavor through fabulous finds in foreign destinations. Lose yourself locally on a lark, exploring laid-back lounges, cool cafes, iconic concept shops and other colorful spots. Sample spas from the cities to the suburbs, or shop ‘til you drop on out-of-the-way avenues where quaint storefronts await. See the world, or just your own neighborhood through rose-colored specs and allow the trapped tourist inside your soul to surface! iCandy has just the info you need to fuel your get-up-and-go.
investigate, then invite!

iNTROSPECTION: sweet memories

















[dubble bubble color]

A British playwright, Pinero, once said: “I believe the future is only the past again, entered through another gate.” Let’s go back, way back, to re-visit treats and trends, heroes and hell-raisers entrenched in our memories forever. What really made you feel good, way back when? What got you going, made you smile or moved you to tears? Cars, clothing, candy…ballers, shot-callers and big trash-talkers – if it colored our lives, iCandy will make you remember.
invoke reflection; insist respect.

iNSPIRATION: sweet life

[Meatpacking District, NYC]

Banish boring and break up the beige. Black and white is for movies, chauffeured cars and newsprint – not you! Live your best life, out loud and in color, everyday. Wardrobe without way? Dress with cheerful - and stylish – purpose. Condo in characterless, cluttered chaos? Design your digs to attract peace and prosperity, or to simply entertain and enjoy. Explore physical and spiritual destinations that allow you to zone out and seek within. Dare to think and be different at home, at the office, or wherever your “third place” might be. Whatever, wherever, whenever you do, do it with flavor, and do it in color.
increase your joy!

iMAGINATION: dreams
















[Central Park, NYC]


What does the “Perfect World” look like? Have we done our part to create it? We don’t get any “do-overs” in life, but we can “do better.” Expand your comfort zone and open yourself up to special causes, actionable charities, global projects and otherwise insightful efforts that affect the human condition. Color outside the lines, think beyond the box and dare to dream a Technicolor world.
