If you’ve got school-age kids who play Saturday morning sport, you’ve probably been charged with supplying cut-up oranges so they can have a refreshing half-time energy boost. Seeing those little hands greedily grabbing for a hit of juicy goodness makes the chopping of bags full of citrus oh-so worthwhile.
But now’s the time to enjoy a refreshing hit of tasty tang for yourself, without the tell-tale drips and dribbles on your chin.
The Pantone Institute has released its must-have colours for Spring 2012, and at the top of the list: Tangerine Tango PANTONE 17-1463, which they’ve crowned ‘Colour Of The Year‘.
Here are 5 fresh ways to squeeze on some just-in-season Tangerine juice.
1. Drape yourself in necklaces that make a statement.
