Are You Livin' La Vie en Orange?

How are you living la vie en orange?

Shakespeare knows a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, but La Vie en Orange by any other name? I'm skeptical :)

My best friend came up with the name; orange is my favorite color and on a good day I speak fluent French. But it's super fitting in other ways as well. In French, la vie en rose is about looking at life through rose colored glasses and seeing this hyper-beautiful reality. I like to think that my company, La Vie en Orange, and its products are a little bit like that too, only brighter, a little bit sun-shine-ier.

So. How do you live la vie en orange?

Thinking about the little things in my life, I think it's by things like:

dancing with reckless abandon, pretty much whenever I dance :) Last night it was like Muppets. You should try it :)
skipping and running sometimes just because it's fun
not suppressing squeals of delight (I have no poker face)
being creative every day (even if it's just making dinner or making a game out of walking home from the bus stop :)

So. How do you live La Vie en Orange?

Comment below! I can't wait to find out :)

P.S. If you have a few minutes or need some background music, I love this clip of Sabrina where Audrey Hepburn sings La Vie en Rose to Humphrey Bogart, and of course there's in the incomparable Edith Piaf... :) And then, en anglais, there's Louis Armstrong. Oh. And there's this guy too. He takes his convertible up on two wheels in an amazing way. :) Did someone say Ricky Martin?

I live La Vie en Orange when my 4 1/2 year old son and I dance in the rain. I live in Texas so it rains ALOT! Why is this not a common practice anymore? So fun and makes you feel like a kid again.
