I’ve always loved fashion and beauty, but I never really thought about the psychology of color. I knew there were shades I naturally gravitated toward — browns, earth tones, warm neutrals — but I never stopped to ask why some colors made me look healthier and brighter while others made me look tired.
So this week on Party’s Over, I decided to find out.
I sat down with Mariana, a professional color analyst, for a full color analysis session, and honestly, I was fascinated from the minute we started. She explained how certain colors interact with your skin tone, your undertones, your hair color, even the shadows around your eyes and mouth. Some shades naturally brighten the face, while others can make you look washed out, pale, or exhausted — even when you feel perfectly fine.
And suddenly, so many things started to make sense.
Apparently, I’m what’s called a “Warm Spring,” which means warm, brighter colors work best for me. Coral turned out to be one of my strongest colors, along with camel, warm reds, creams, browns, beige, and rose gold. Cooler tones, silver jewelry, gray, and even black near my face weren’t nearly as flattering.
I have to admit, hearing that black wasn’t my best color was emotionally difficult. Like many women, I have an entire closet built around black clothing. But Mariana made an important point: this isn’t about rules. It’s about understanding what naturally works for you and why.
What I loved most was that the conversation wasn’t really about vanity. It was about confidence. It was about understanding how small changes can completely affect how we carry ourselves in the world.
And honestly, that became the theme of the entire episode.
Because after talking about external presentation, Veida and I moved into something much more internal: emotional neglect in relationships.
This conversation surprised me, because I realized how difficult emotional neglect can be to define. It’s not always dramatic. It’s not necessarily screaming, fighting, or cruelty. Sometimes it’s absence. Sometimes it’s a partner who simply isn’t emotionally available when you need them most.
Veida and I talked about how differently people handle emotions and vulnerability. Some people naturally lean into difficult conversations. Others shut down completely. And sometimes you don’t realize how emotionally unsupported you’ve been until you’re in a moment of real crisis.
During the episode, I shared a deeply personal story about a frightening health situation where I felt emotionally abandoned at a time when I needed support the most. Looking back on experiences like that forces you to ask difficult questions about relationships, communication, and emotional capability.
One thing we both agreed on: emotional communication matters early. Before commitment. Before marriage. Before years pass. It’s important to ask someone not just whether they love you, but how they handle feelings, conflict, fear, vulnerability, and support.
That conversation naturally carried us into this week’s “Spill It” question from a viewer who asked whether a relationship can survive when one person believes in marriage and the other doesn’t.
And honestly? I think the answer depends less on paperwork and more on commitment.
There are couples who never legally marry and are deeply devoted to each other. But there still has to be emotional security, honesty, and shared values. If one person wants commitment and the other refuses to offer it in any meaningful form, eventually that disconnect catches up with the relationship.
What struck me after filming this episode was how connected all of these conversations really were.
Color analysis is about understanding yourself better. Emotional health is about understanding yourself better. Relationships require understanding yourself better.
The more honest we become about who we are — emotionally, physically, internally, externally — the easier it becomes to build a life that actually fits us.
And maybe that’s the real point.
