‘Tis the season to spend time with family, catch up with friends, and be festive. However, no matter how joyous the vibe is, the dreaded Christmas Rush may overwhelm you. What should have been a merry period could be stressful. And perhaps, even lonely for others.

With how busy holiday plans may get, experts from the Benilde Well-Being Center (BWC) noted it is important to remember to take charge and look after your mental health.

The Pantone Color Institute noted that the earthy elegance of Mocha Mousse (PANTONE 17-1230) can stand alone or serve as a foundation which enhances a wide range of palettes and applications, from minimalist to detailed designs, across all color-focused industries.

Textile and surface designer, visual artist, and Benilde Fashion Design and Merchandising (FDM) Program educator Olivia Jaro Lopez highlighted that the color of the year 2025 is a grounding element in compositions - a backdrop for vital focal points or a unifying shade in abstract works.

“It resonates well with themes of introspection, resilience, and connection,” she stated. “While others see this as a sad brown color, it pairs beautifully with both vibrant tones for energy, and softer hues for balance, inviting endless possibilities for exploration.”
