Colour of the Year

Image via Wikipedia Pantone 18-2120, otherwise known as Honeysuckle, is Pantone, LLC’s colour of the year for 2011. Pantone, a global authority on all things colour, says that while 2010′s Turquoise served as an escape, Honeysuckle is uplifting and “emboldens users to face everyday troubles with verve and vigor.” I just wanted you to know.

Is there a need? Indeed!!!

The Second Women’s Weekend Dental Conference was, by all accounts, and yes, I was there to experience it first-hand, a roaring success.
