in your kitchen! Yellow has been proven to increase metabolism and is considered a staple color for kitchens. Use green as an accent color and it could make you feel better too.

Another way to increase your metabolism and reach your weight loss goal in 2013 is to reduce the amount of light you’re exposed to while you’re sleeping. Studies have shown that light exposure while sleeping could offset the natural balance of our metabolism causing weight gain. Heavy drapes or curtains might be a solution for this.

Appetite

Curb your appetite with blue and lavender in your eating space and in your window treatments. Blue curbs our appetites naturally because it isn’t found in the food we eat.   Who knew that window treatments could have such an impact on your everyday life!
