Some neighborhoods in South Florida are vibrant exhibits of an uninhibited Bahamian palette. Houses are painted electric blue, hot pink, tangerine, grape, bright turquoise and sunflower yellow, with contrasting or darker trim. If you live in one of those zip codes, go for it. If you love the vibe but appreciate a more subtle approach -- or your neighbors do -- select a pastel or confectionery color for your home's exterior. Light melon or apricot is cheerful with burnt orange or coral trim. Faded olive is sharp with charcoal trim and a papaya-red front door.
If you're consuming more than 400 milligrams of caffeine and feel nervous, jumpy or have trouble sleeping, chances are good that you're overdoing it. Your best bet is beginning the process of curbing your caffeine habit.
Caffeine is classified by the Food and Drug Administration as âgenerally recognized as safeâ (GRAS). Toxic doses are usually considered anything over 10 grams per day for an adult. To put that into context, one cup of coffee contains 80â175 milligrams of caffeine depending on the bean and preparation method. So someone would need to have roughly 50â100 ordinary cups of coffee to reach a lethal dose and have a true caffeine overdose.
