Ever wanted to know what it’s like to stand inside a box of orange Tic Tacs? Well, now you know. I can’t even wear orange, so I can’t imagine the horrors that I would face in the mirror of this room. It couldn’t possibly flatter anyone’s skin tone.
Vel was certainly ready for a change, and opted for some muted and classy colors that toned down the tangerine without giving up any eye-catchability She probably feels 15 years younger looking in the mirror now, or at least less like she should stop by the local hospital for a bilirubin test. See more on her blog Buhay at Bahay.

Seriously, you are hilarious and I love it! If my husband is around when I am looking at your blog, I read these intros to him, and then he laughs and says I found my twin, although I am not so funny on my blog.

July 6, 2012 at 2:51 AMI seriously can’t believe you passed up an “Orange-cha glad this isn’t your bathroom?” intro. You are obviously becoming uber sophisticated.

July 6, 2012 at 5:27 PMI wonder if she originally painted it the orange color in the first place…the only positive about the orange is that you would not need the morning cup of coffee to wake you up. That color alone is enough of a jolt!
