I’m Wendy Michell, 65 from South Australia, and founder of this charity shopping company.
I heard about the devastating complications a woman suffers from obstetric fistula and the resulting bodily trauma from birthing a baby, and how their communities shun the hundreds of thousands of afflicted. The visions of the very appalling way to exist that it must be for these beautiful women haunted me and I was drawn to contemplate how I could help more.
It is estimated that one million women worldwide live with untreated fistula, a devastating injury primarily caused by prolonged obstructed labor when women do not have access to timely emergency obstetric care. Obstetric fistula mostly affects economically vulnerable women and garners little attention on the global health stage. Exact figures on fistula incidence and prevalence are not known.
I was inspired by people like Australian surgeon Dr Catherine Hamlin who was dedicated to healing with their fine technical work in the field, surgically curing with huge success, allowing the women to reclaim their lives.
I researched about the good work of the Fistula Foundation in USA, a four star charity organisation (https://www.charitynavigator.org). The Fistula Foundation builds and supports hospitals, trains doctors and their staff, and educates women in over 30 countries.
Bali Team, making a dream come true
I have been most fortunate to have travelled to Bali many times, making a connection almost 40 years ago with a wonderful boy who is now a family man. I talked with him about my silk pillowcase vision eleven years ago and he introduced me to his Aunt Desak and her friend Komang, who are a highly skilled tailors. This led me to wonder how amazing it would be to engage the services of a small family workshop to create the silk pillowcases for Silky Kisses, and in turn provide work and an opportunity for them.
We talked about the charity mission of this company, and we eventually had conversations about how they would like to give back to the less fortunate in their own communities by making something very culturally unique for their communities.
A Kebaya
When I first met these beautiful people who would become the team who enabled my vision to be a reality they were making their dainty kebayas, a lace blouse worn traditionally by the Agama Hindu Dharma Balinese women of the island, for themselves and those in their family. Their National Dress regulations requires all to observe their cultural nationalism. Not unlike the women suffering fistula they are not able to attend to their customs and be part of their cultural ceremonies without a kebaya, therefore this garment seemed a perfect way to enable the Bali team to have stable work and to enable the giving back to the beautiful women in the outer communities who do not benefit from tourism but do uphold and continue the island traditions.
The idea of making a kebaya for those on their island who were unable to afford these lovely pieces inspired us to begin the project when they are between silk work. They are very keen to deliver these lacy parcels to the women in remote villages who rarely receive anything new. To date the small Team in Bali have made and given away 1,810 Silky Kisses kebaya.
Happy woman healed
I felt that if I'm lying on silk I could give a bit of my own good fortune to those who have less and contributing to making a difference.
I became a donor to this cause myself but wondered what else could I do? How could I make a real difference to these thousands of suffering women? How could I inspire others to make it a bigger gift of life?
Could an online shop create a movement towards positive giving - a win/win approach?
My concern for the suffering of other women is in direct contrast to wanting to feel silk under my head. The hypocrisy here is evident and intended.
How can this hypocrisy become a conversation about a subject that is
largely taboo, but which could create a positive movement towards
compassion, and a contribution toward this good cause which actually does
make a difference? A pillowcase is a simple product - often it is the simple things in life that can make the most impact.
I felt I had found the dream mission for inspiring others with this company. Not only because of the many enticing health benefits of sleeping on silk, but because we can more easily sleep at night knowing we are helping to support a woman in need to be cured of her affliction.
The challenges the business/market is facing
A silk pillowcase is not new, women have been sleeping on silk for hundreds of years, but it was traditionally a very expensive luxury product in a fragile fabric. Satin, silk’s plastic cousin, was the inexpensive and hard wearing alternative... but this fabric does nothing for the skin and actually creates static, no one likes that. Most of us love the shiny slinkiness, and charmeuse silk has all that.
After eleven years experience in this business there are now many opportunities to purchase a silk pillowcase online. We have explored eye masks and hair scrunchies but after much research I decided to be excellent at one product, one which can be repeated and one which allows the business to stay true to helping the Fistula Foundation with every single sale.
Silky Kisses silk pillowcases’ point of difference is that we are not just an online shop selling beautiful pillowcases. It is a shop selling a specific item that attempts to improve the wellbeing of individuals.
Our customers choose from the rainbow of colours of our exquisite silk pillowcases, assisted by the colour therapy suggestions that our website provides which helps to make these choices easier.
SK Rainbow of choices
Silky Kisses point of difference
Silky Kisses pillowcases are made with double sided 22 momme, that’s the measurement of the weight and density of silk fabric. It is the ideal weight for a pillowcase because any less and the material will wear faster, and any heavier it will be stiff and uncomfortable to sleep on.
There are many benefits sleeping on silk. Being a natural breathable fabric which is hypo- allergenic it is suitable for all age groups, all skin types, and all hair types, including bald men. The fabric can endure the punishment of heavy breathing and being washed many times.
I still sleep on some of the original prototypes and like me they get better with age.
The challenge for our product is that our pillowcases are made so well that they do not wear out. Thankfully our loyal customers come back to buy for family and friends as well as a change of decor colours for their bedrooms.
A silk pillowcase is gender neutral. One of my earliest customers was a 80 year old gentleman who loved the coral colour of SK’s Summer Sorbet the best, it brought him joy and I believe it lasted the remainder of his very long life.
The power of colour is the essence of life
What does your colour choice say about you?
Combining the understanding of what colour can do for you with the glorious silk that enhances your skin and hair beauty every night, and the good feeling that giving gives to the giver, a Silky Kisses silk pillowcase is a product that’s a total happiness maker XX
Not everyone loves colour like me - it enhances my decor and improves my energy.
White is the most purchased choice of bedding colour, and although I think it’s not my first choice I do understand why most feel like a stunningly crisp and serene white bed to rest their weariness.
Colour choices are so personal that those customers looking to find a SK gift discover it can be difficult to make that choice for others. Silky Kisses website provides a voucher for their recipients to make their own decisions.
Silk is soft and sleeping on it restores our souls. Colour is a resonance and restores us also, or invigorates, or calms depending on the colour.
The study of colour for beneficial medicinal healing for us all has been in existence as a science since ancient times. The power of colour is the essence of life. Colour is refracted light, it’s all around us and influences our lives all the time. Chromotherapy is the study of the effects of colour to more easily understand the legitimate benefits of colour for ourselves and others, and with the addition of this science on the Silky Kisses website we have created another level of consideration to help our customers make more informed colour choices.
The benefits of silk
The truth is that once you’ve slept on a charmeuse silk pillowcase it is impossible to go back to sleeping on anything else. That’s because it’s great for our skin; miraculous for managing hair; those who are sensitive and allergic are relieved; and everyone loves them. I discovered these aspects, and a whole lot more, when creating Silky Kisses eleven years ago this month. I had bad hair mornings, and my old cotton pillowcases dried out my ageing skin. What we choose to snuggle into for a good rest and happy dreams is an essential consideration as we lay our heads and faces into our pillows for many hours every night.
Sleeping on silk
We know that sleeping on a silk pillowcase would be seen as an indulgence, particularly when there are millions of people struggling to just survive. The incongruous nature of the difference between the materially orientated and the desperately poor is at odds. If we really open our hearts we are appalled by what we hear and see in the visuals on media photographs, but we try to forget so we can live in our daily reality without the guilt. This is true for most of us who are reading this magazine.
Knowing that there are Angels in the field really doing fine dedicated work to change lives helps us sleep at night.
My hope is to inspire others
I made a pledge to try to help women who may never have slept on a pillow by ironically offering a silk pillowcase experience to those who do.
I wanted to inspire others to enjoy their sleeping time more with this beautiful but straightforward idea to solve their own personal issues, whilst at the same time increase awareness of the plight of those women who are only just surviving, with a view to making a difference to their suffering collectively.
This company is my investment into this Mission. My pledge was to start a difficult conversation about the women who endure a ‘fistula’, and it’s not only a third world country occurrence. It’s a hidden problem of the World bringing misery and isolation and it’s now curable in the 30 countries where the Fistula Foundation does their good work.
Since the beginning of this company all the profits from the sales of SK’s silk pillowcases have been given to the Fistula Foundation, 4/4 Star charity, to support their healing work. It is really the main purpose of the existence of the Silky Kisses silk pillowcase company.
Together we really can all take small steps for big change
SK is a charity ‘giving’ platform, the giving of pleasure to our customers, for the giving to heal the suffering of women with fistula, and the company also responds to the local making and giving of the kebaya to women of the country where the pillowcases are made, making a difference for thousands of women. Silky Kisses are slowly and steadily making that difference - ‘one silk pillowcase at a time, one woman at a time’.
Wendy Michell XX
In a personal video on social media, Charmaine Dickson discussed her journey with weight gain starting when her rectovaginal fistula was discovered in her early 30’s. This was a pivotal moment in her life. In naturopathy, we say “never been well since”. This was the case for Charmaine. A discovery which altered her life, health and mental wellbeing.
An injury not openly discussed, rectovaginal fistulas can cause deep physiological and psychological trauma misunderstood by most.
Although it’s been a long journey, Charmaine has now accepted and adjusted her life to the long-term challenges this injury has brought forth. Able to live contently now with the physiological effects, the psychological effects proved harder to overcome, with no support from professionals or friends due to the overwhelming stigma and misunderstanding surrounding the injury. Today, acceptance of herself and her faith in God, has had many healing properties, and now Charmaine wants to assist others with this emotionally traumatic ordeal. She wants others to know she is here, and she understands them.
What is a rectovaginal fistula? A rectovaginal fistula is when there is an abnormal connection between the rectum and the vagina, caused by damage of the thin septum separating the rectal and vaginal wall. It results in gas or stool to pass through the vagina. This may be caused by a difficult, prolonged childbirth without prompt intervention. Or potentially, in Charmaine’s case, a pap smear gone wrong.
Three years after Charmaine’s third child was born, she had a pap smear that was unusually painful both during and after the procedure. It is hypothesised that she was nicked during the procedure, causing an ulcer to form, resulting in a fistula. Unable to sit due to the pain, Charmaine returned to her Doctor out of concern that the pain wasn’t subsiding and she was experiencing flatulence in the vaginal cavity. She was turned away, being told this flatulence was normal. Due to it being ignored, the fistulae became infected and the opening became wider. Aware this was anything but normal, she returned to the Doctor with a tampon containing faecal matter as evidence and was finally heard. Within three hours, Charmaine was in a specialist room and the long triage began. The six month journey from pain and embarrassment to a diagnosis felt like forever. With the Adelaide surgeons unsure how to fix it, Charmaine underwent many painful procedures. After the sixth operation it was decided she needed an ileoscopy bag to give the bowel time to recover. Two more operations followed, now a total of eight, in the hope the bag could be removed. However, these operations too did not work. The bag was attached once more. After the ninth operation, there was finally success, but the bag remained on for another twelve months.
Charmaine’s body was tired and distressed. During one of the many operations, Charmaine’s body became an experiment with the surgeons trying to open up the fistulae more, attaching a rubber band onto the fistulae wall, down the vaginal wall and tying a knot on the outside of the two walls. Expected to then go back to living life as normal, Charmaine experienced immense pain and after ten days of crying in agony, she begged the Doctors to remove it. Although she felt like a guinea pig, Charmaine doesn’t begrudge the doctors. They were trying their best to help a situation of which they had extremely limited knowledge on.
The self-esteem decline was well and truly on its way for Charmaine. The long-term consequences of the sphincter muscle being affected causes distress and embarrassment for the body and the mind, something that was never discussed or understood. One of the most severe outcomes of this was the decline in femininity felt by Charmaine. Intimacy with her husband was non-existent which further exacerbated her embarrassment and self esteem issues. The stigma from a condition like this stays with you, even when repaired.
The emotional, social and physical suffering caused by rectovaginal fistulas is severe and often overlooked. In many parts of the world, women dealing with such a condition are ostracised, rejected by their community and partners. Consequently, their psychological health declines. Eventually, women may heal physically, however, the psychological damage remains. In addition to the discomfort and emotional toll this condition presents, the urine and faecal incontinence creates an environment not conducive to that of nutrition retention, making it near impossible for patients to maintain proper health and continue with social and occupational activities.
In some parts of the world, the stigma about this condition is so extreme that patients are the victims of religious harassment, causing further despair and hopelessness. Moreover, the effort to maintain marital and familial relations is often beyond one’s own capacity.
The overall sense of loss; loss of self-esteem, loss of intimacy, loss of autonomy, loss of health and nutrition can all lead to an overwhelming sense of worthlessness and stress. These consequences manifest themselves into many troubling guises. Some of the most prolific being, social isolation, mental crisis and sleep disturbances.
So where do silk pillowcases fit into all of this?
Silky Kisses Pillowcases, a small business located in Adelaide, South Australia, are a community and compassion driven group of people, focused solely on the betterment of the lives of those in need. Through ethically produced, handmade silk pillowcases in Bali, this team of warriors are aiding the pockets of communities in order to help them heal, grow and educate. Their current charity support is The Fistula Foundation.
The Fistula Foundation believes no woman should endure a life of misery and isolation simply for trying to bring a child into this world. Dedicated to ending the suffering of rectovaginal fistulas, The Fistula Foundation supports fistula treatments in 57 countries across 427 facilities. It funds more fistula repairs than any other organisation in the world, without the assistance of government funding. Since 2009, The Fistula Foundation has funded more than 31,500 surgeries. With a focus on patients, doctors and facilities, the foundation aims to ensure the best care, service and training, in order to further the understanding and knowledge of rectovaginal fistulas.
For every woman who receives treatment, fifty go without. An estimated one million women are suffering with rectovagianl fistula worldwide and The Fistula Foundation needs your help to expand surgical capacity and provide free fistula repair services around the world.
By purchasing a Silky Kisses silk pillowcase, you can help these women in need. All proceeds from the purchase are directed to The Fistula Foundation. You also have the option to make an additional donation to The Fistula Foundation through the Silky Kisses website wherein 100% of your donation will go to the cause, as the Silky Kisses team is run by a group of volunteers, ensuring no administration fees or charges.
Beyond that of charitable work, purchasing silk pillowcases have a range of additional benefits.
Let’s see why.
Silk, a natural protein fibre, works with our bodies and is sympathetic to our body’s needs - in this case, a good night's sleep!
Silk regulates temperature, doesn’t absorb much moisture, contains antimicrobials (the agent that kills bacteria and heals skin), is hypoallergenic and allows hair to move more freely.
Because silk is relatively non absorbent, the natural oils of your hair, as well as the products used on both your hair and skin, are not absorbed or stripped by the pillowcase, instead allowing it to be absorbed fully into where it was intended. Additionally, with the antimicrobials killing bacteria, it creates a more conducive environment to clear, acne-free skin. As most acne is bacterial based, the reduction of bacteria can prove helpful in the removal of acne. Eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis sufferers have also found the smooth, friction-free, bacteria-free fabric has improved their symptoms and calmed the red and itchy rashes, as rough surfaces tend to aggravate the conditions.
This smooth, friction-free effect also benefits hair - a reason many people turn to sleeping on silk. Many women use silk head scarves to protect their hair from damage, frizziness, knots, bunching and to help maintain their styling or product use.
Silk pillowcases have been shown to prevent breakage, split-ends and dryness.
All-in-all, the benefits of sleeping on silk are extensive. Not to mention luxurious and oh so comfortable!
Silky Kisses Pillowcases have over twenty beautiful colours to choose from, handmade ethically, from the highest-quality silk. By purchasing one, you are not only guaranteeing yourself smooth hair and a restful sleep, but you will also be helping a woman who desperately needs access to a medical procedure.
One that Charmaine Dickson knows first hand, will change their life.

Generally we recommend treating your Silky Kisses silk pillowcase with the care you’d treat your hair,
I used to wash my cases with my shampoo and hang it in the bathroom to dry to put back on that night.
Any minor creases of the fabric will drop out with the warmth of your head, or even smoothing it with warm hands, or rolling it up for a while before shoving your favourite pillow into place.
But ...truly ... as main Tester since day one I’ve experimented for years now.
Lately I admit I’ve become become less pedantic, and I tend to throw my silk cases into a delicate wash with like colours in cool or just warm water in my machine with gentle washing liquid and then hanging to dry - I’m happy with their feel and dies the job with my hair.
The life of a natural product’s colours will always be slowly diminished by a machine, over washing, and by heat and sunshine on high coloured silk, but the actual fabric will keep getting softer while having strength.
I personally like the pillowcases’ texture as they age.
Silk in this thickness is surprisingly durable, if treated gently (without heat and chemicals) it can take a lot of face planting to get old and shabby.
As you can imagine I’ve got quite a few different coloured pillows in my life, but my favourite has been Wild Ruby.
So for 8 years I’ve been treating my cases with the severity I give my t-shirts and big towels !
Someone has to do it!
The outcome is varied depending on the strength of the colour and it’s age. And the abuse it gets in life.
My oldest Wild Ruby, a strong deep pink colour, has been washed and dried in a tumble drier with my same coloured towels several times ..full on abuse..a mistake at first but in hindsight a good discovery.
So the result is lighter, old rose coloured, no bright sheen but it looks and feels as soft as polished skin.
I find that cool water keeps the sheen longer, but with a warm or cold wash by hand with soft gentle cleaning emulsion to release makeup and dribble, and then hang in shade to dry.....is the best practice for silk (and most fabrics really).
My skin loves the old rose case, and my hair particularly loves the first two years of rotating a couple of new colours when they’re changed, and washing them in my shower with my hair...or basin ...till I forget one day and it ends up in the big wash...
I’m the best person to ask this question, your message caught me in a ‘passionate about Silky Kisses’ moment :D
I’m sure you were looking for a short answer - I trust this story will help you enjoy and relax with your new pillowcase.
Washing tips can be found on the website in our Guarantee area.
www.silkpillowcases.com.au
As you can see ..I’m a bit interested in this 8 year (so far) experiment with Silky Kisses ..so I love this question ....Thank you.
I hope that helps - I know you’ll have sweet dreams on your Silky Kisses silk pillowcase XX

]]>People suffering from severe allergies and respiratory illnesses do not realise that it may be their bedding that is a contributing factor aggravating their condition. Us, as humans spend one-third of our lives in bed, making it important that our sleep experience is not only peaceful, but healthy.
Dust mites, pet dander, mould and mildew in our bedding car trigger allergic reactions. The results can be inflamed, congested, and irritated respiratory passages, as well as wheezing, watery eyes, constant sneezing, skin irritations such as eczema, and an uncomfortable sleep.
The Silky Kisses pillowcase is made from natural silk. Silk is an exceptional hypoallergenic material because it does not support dust mites as it helps by creating an effective barrier against nasty irritants and dander.
Silky Kisses pillowcases are soft, comfortable and luxurious and for people who change in temperature during the night, you can rest assured knowing your pillowcase can regulate your body temperature to alleviate any effects of night sweats and chills that can occur during menopause or when undergoing medical treatments such as chemotherapy or operations. It is all natural and breathable which prevents the accumulation of moisture. A Silky Kisses pillowcase could help people suffering from fibromyalgia to enjoy a more restful and relaxed nights sleep.
A good night's sleep affects our physical, mental, and emotional health and well being. It improves our energy levels, immune system, and memory capacity making it vitally important for everyone.
Knowing some the causes of allergies and how to reduce the conditions that create an allergy prone environment, will help you better control their effects. Using hypoallergenic material when sleeping allows you to get your 8 hours comfortably, resulting in an improved quality of life and health.
People who have asthma have airways that are very twitchy or sensitive. They may react to things that can (that is, make) asthma symptoms start. These things are aptly called, "triggers." When you are near an asthma trigger, your airways may become swollen, tighten up, and produce too much mucus. You may start to wheeze, cough, have congestion, itchy eyes, or a runny nose. It's important to find out what your asthma triggers are and figure out ways to control them.
If you, or someone you love suffers with Asthma, here are some simple ways you can begin to control dust mites, one of the main triggers for an Asthma attack:
Silk is sympathetic to our bodies needs and works in conjunction with our bodies to help us get what we really want and need - contented, deep sleep.

This dark green Deep Forest Emerald silk pillowcase brings to you “the colour of prosperity and abundance, of finance and material wealth. Prosperity gives you an emotional feeling of safety.”#27
The first recorded use of emerald as a colour name in English was in 1598, named after the gem, and since dye-makers created an enormous range of the ever popular green coloured fabrics in a variety of shades. This darker shade of emerald is a moodier deeper tone, this luxurious dark green silk fabric makes your pillow glow just like an emerald gem.
There are warm and cool colours in the spectrum of light, and green is the balance between these two.

This ivory creamy colour tends toward a very pale yellow hue, which is a joyful colour addition which warms up the cool elegance and purity of the white base colour.

Cream has a generally quiet colour energy, and can often evoke a sense of history and antiquity to your bedroom setting. Cream or ivory is a calm colour, although associated with the energy of spring it is quiet with a pleasant, understated refinement, with a rich softness and lustre.
Our cream pillowcase is un-dyed and natural, in processed mulberry silk fabric, made in a 22 momme weight charmeuse style silk which is made in Hangzhou, China, and unlike all the other 19 colours in our range (including white) which are all dyed. So if you are looking for a more organic pillow case this would be your best choice.
The off-white colour of Vanilla Shimmer is a soft neutral with the earthiness of a very light beige, which creates a peaceful ambience in your bedroom for a good nights’ sleep.
What does choosing this colour say about you?
If you favour the unifying ability of a neutral colour in your bed, and you have chosen the Vanilla Shimmer silk pillow case, you seek perfection and calm in your world.
Cream is the colour of acceptance and tolerance - you love this colour because that is your creed, or you may be looking for this in your life.
You have an innocence and lightness, and goodness about you.
The milky-white tone of Vanilla Shimmer appeals to those who actually “like to be colourful, impulsive, and idealistic risk-takers who "rely more on intuition than logic.”#34
“If you love the colour of vanilla you tend to be emotionally expressive and successful in close relationships.”#34
Vanilla lovers are refined and traditional, rich and conservative.
You have a gentle look, both in your appearance and the way you feel, with a slightly vintage feel and temperament.
If white is too sterile for you - you need more colour in your life because you are easy going and relaxed, and white is too fussy and particular for you.
And you are spontaneous and impulsive person and white is too self controlled for you.”#2
Also loving cream means that:
• You need lots of interesting things going on in your life - the simple life is too boring for you.
• You are not concerned with order and perfection in your own life - a little dust on the shelves is okay with you.
• You take life as you find it and make the most of what you have.#2
These words describe a person who chooses cream:
“Original, imaginative, joyful, happy, idealistic, creative, artistic, spiritual, optimistic, intelligent with a love of learning, you’re light and sunny, you have the energy of summer and spring, being philosophical, cheery, and hopeful, with lots of energy”.#34
If you have chosen a Silky Kisses silk pillow case in Vanilla Shimmer you are “spirited, motivated, charming and eternally young.
You are never dark or heavy, and you usually work in people professions, such as the media, entertainment or caregiving.
Those who love the colour of ivory have a “natural affinity for the young and love the outdoors, and are clever, but not interested in heavy academic debate. On the downside, they can be single-minded, do too many things at once.”#34
All these attributes and personality traits have been observed for those who chose cream, or ivory, or a Silky Kisses Vanilla Shimmer. You may not feel you fit all the descriptions but we know that you’re a beautifully soft person with a natural outlook, and a fun but relaxed attitude to life.
What can a Silky Kisses Vanilla Shimmer silk pillowcase do for you?
Choosing a cream colour indicates you may be looking for its elegance and sophisticated warm tones to evoke a sense of peaceful antiquity and calm in your bedroom.
This pillow case allows a quiet and calm energy to surround you while in your bed, and works on the growing maturity of your subconscious mind towards more acceptance and tolerance as you sleep.
If you’ve chosen a cream colour toned silk pillowcase for your bed this will set a relaxed atmosphere and a subdued neutral background for any other colours in your room.
With too much of this colour around you can develop into someone who is out of touch with reality. Think of the phrase “ivory tower” which is typically a place of refuge or seclusion from the world.#31
However you need stimulus as well as ease, so your ideal palette of soft cream in your bedroom when combined with peach or turquoise, as well as brighter scarlets, or sky blues, or darker blues and emerald greens, or pure yellows will support this glowing neutral colour.”#33
“It can also be used to lighten darker colours, without the stark contrast of using white,”#30 all helping to create a more restful place to sleep. XXX catalogue linkXXX
Sleeping on a Vanilla Shimmer silk pillow case will not only benefit your beauty of both your face and hair but also this colour brings relaxation and a peaceful sleep.
And isn’t that what you’re wishing for?

Red is the colour of fire and blood associated (on the positive side - where we dwell here at Silky Kisses) with energy, strength, power, and determination as well as passion, desire, and love.
]]>Red is the colour of fire and blood associated (on the positive side - where we dwell here at Silky Kisses) with energy, strength, power, and determination as well as passion, desire, and love.
The warmth of this positive colour associates with our most physical needs and our will to survive. It exudes a strong and powerful masculine energy which is energising and excites the emotions, motivating us to take action.
Of course in a boudoir this is encouraging and motivating. Being the colour of physical movement, the colour red awakens your physical life force. It is the colour of sexuality and can stimulate deeper and more intimate passions in us of love (actually more on the lust side of love really as pink is the colour of Love) and sex.
In classic Eastern cultures such as China red is the colour for good luck, and India it signifies purity, where the brides wear red.
In heraldry, red is used to indicate courage.
Our Scarlett Whispers silk pillowcase reflects the energy of strength, health, and vitality, enhancing your own energy while you sleep.
What does your choice of this colour say about you?
You have chosen Scarlett Whispers. It’s the colour of energy, passion, action, ambition and determination…you are probably all that and more.
You’re a dynamic personality who has a confident, sexy, and romantic nature.
Red signifies a pioneering spirit with leadership qualities, you are ambitious and have determination. You’re an proud extrovert.
We’ve also found that children are attracted to our Scarlett Whispers silk pillowcases, my research tells me that boys particularly like the warm reds, like this silk fabric (while girls prefer the cooler reds like Wild Ruby) suggesting that kids enjoy surrounding themselves in strong primary colour energy.#39
You tend to be strong-willed but you give confidence to those who are shy or lacking in will power.
“Interestingly, it's been found that a preference for the colour red increases for women when they've reached peak fertility in their menstrual cycle.”#2
Hence your choice of this red indicates that you are bold, sexually charged, and want to make a lasting impression. And why not!

This pillowcase is ideal as a positive influence for people who struggle with sexual dysfunctions, or have low self esteem, for example, because the healing energy of your own splash of red in this fabulous luminous fiery tone which inspires determination and gives courage to desire.
People who sleep in colder temperatures would benefit from sleeping with a Scarlett Whispers pillowcase because it creates thoughts of warmth and comfort. Red has the interesting phenomenon of enhancing the circulatory system.
“Studies have also found that both genders are more attracted to a person in red than any other colour. Although scientists aren't exactly sure why, they think it may have to do with the fact that when someone blushes they turn red and there's some sort of animalistic, sexual attraction there.” #12
I do believe that red in your bed enhances the colour of your skin, reflecting warmth and a healthy glow, which makes this colour a very positive attribute and companion for your sleeping pleasure.

Imagine blending freshly picked mint with a cup of cream, this is what this colour looks like. It’s fresh and soft and compelling. It would be messy to dive into but silk keeps to itself. A silk pillowcase in Mint Cream has the delicious look of green cream along with the added benefits of a beauty product and the healing energy of green.
There are warm and cool colours in the spectrum and green is the balance between these two.
There is so much green on our planet and most of us feel a sense of joy and calm viewing it in our surroundings.
In the Psychology of Colour perspective “green brings psychological and emotional rejuvenation, and possesses a soothing influence upon both mind and body. It is the great balancer of the heart and the emotions, creating equilibrium between the head and the heart.”#2
It is neither relaxing nor astringent in its impact. Green can be used for just about any condition in need of healing.
As green is also the colour of growth, the colour of spring, of renewal and rebirth it renews and restores your depleted energy.
Sleeping on green brings you peace, deep rest and comfort, the nurturing you’re seeking for a wonderful nights’ sleep.
What does your colour choice say about you?
If you have chosen a Silky Kisses’ minty green silk pillow case you are said to be refined, civilised and reputable.
You are generally a frank, community-minded person, fairly sociable but preferring peace at any price.
Favouring green indicates your love of nature, and a love of family, friends, pets and the home. It is the colour of the garden lover, the home lover and the good host.
You are generous and you love to share, but you do look for recognition, as you like to be accepted, appreciated and admired for the good you do in your life. You have a need to belong - greens are the joiners of social groups - and you are at home in any social situation because you are friendly and intelligent.
Choosing this colour describes a person who has all these fine traits: reliability, dependability, self-reliant, tactful, emotionally balanced and calm, sympathetic, compassionate, kind and loyal with a high moral sense.
You are practical, a down-to-earth person who is kind, generous and compassionate.
You strive for balance.
You are gracious and well-mannered, knowing just the right things to say and do.
You are a good citizen and like to be involved in community groups.
You are caring and nurturing to others.
You like stability and you strive for balance.
You love to learn and you are quick to understand new concepts.
With a "personality colour green you have a great need to love and to be loved, and you tend to wear your heart on your sleeve - you are an open book who doesn't hide his/her feelings.”#7
Green is the choice of either gentle and sincere people who are practical, or a down-to-earth person who is kind, generous and compassionate.
You’re a peacemaker.
If you have chosen this colour for your bed you will have at least one of these personality traits, or wish to develop these fine characteristics that the therapy of green will bring to your life while you dream.
What can sleeping on a Mint Cream silk pillowcase do for you?
Firstly the silk itself is fabulous for your skin and hair, combine this with the peaceful colour; sweet dreams are inevitable.
Secondly green relates to love and particularly self love, being the colour of the heart, and is a great healing colour.
The vibration of green energy “balances our ability to give and take unconditionally. When balanced we are able to give this love and also to love and nurture ourselves, warts and all.”#26
Green colour helps relax your muscles, nerves, and thoughts.
It cleanses and balances your energy, to give you a feeling of renewal, peace and harmony. Green connects you to unconditional love and can balance your whole being.
As ”green is the colour of balance and harmony and can, therefore, be helpful in times of stress. If one has experienced a trauma, a green silk wrapped around the shoulders can have a very therapeutic effect.”#26
“As in nature, green leaves are an indication the plant is still growing.”#27 Green is good for people who are growing through problems, just like leaves grow on a tree – you grow with it, restoring body and mind exhaustion as you sleep.
This nurturing deep mossy colour is widely used as a symbol for regrowth and rebirth, as it creates stability and endurance through difficult periods of life. People who love sleeping in a room with green feel their hearts are comforted and soothed.
It is the most restful colour for the human eye; it can improve vision. #28
The colour green helps us to see situations clearly from all sides.
“Green is the anticipation of things to come.’’#27
Green affects blood pressure and all conditions of the heart. It has both an energising effect and a moderating or soothing effect. This healing psychology has been tested, actually colour therapy has been around subliminally forever, and our ancient scientists studied and believed it, Plato wrote about it.
Test it for yourself.
While sleeping with your green pillowcase it will be “harmonising your digestion, stomach, liver, and gall area, and has a healing effect on your kidneys. The energy of green increases immunity, builds up muscles, bones and tissues, and strengthens the nervous system.”#27
Sleeping on a Silky Kisses Mint Cream silk pillowcase brings refreshing sleep with peaceful dreams.

What does choosing this colour say about you?
If you have chosen a Midnight Sapphire Silky Kisses silk pillowcase as your favourite colour you love harmony, and you’re said to be reliable, sensitive and you always make an effort to think of others. You like to keep things clean and tidy, and feel that stability is the most important aspect of your life.
Blue is the “least gender specific” colour, having equal appeal to both men and women.#8
From a Colour Psychology perspective people who choose Blue are loyal, honest and responsible.#2
You are “the helper, the rescuer, the friend in need. Your success is defined by the quality and quantity of your relationships. You are a giver, not a taker. You like to build strong trusting relationships and can become deeply hurt if that trust is betrayed.”#2
If you love Blue, as 40% of people apparently do, you can tend to be conservative and predictable.
Blue is a safe and non-threatening colour, and as the most universally liked colour of all it’s probably because it is safe and non-threatening that it’s chosen.
Change is difficult for those who like Blue. You can be inflexible when faced with new or different ideas, and you don’t like to be rushed to make decisions, however you consider, you analyse, think slowly, and then you try to make the idea fit into your own acceptable version of reality.
You are intelligent and self-reliant,#6 with a persistence and determination to succeed in whatever endeavours you decide to pursue. You have an authority about you, with integrity, and a devotional nature, but you’re not impulsive or spontaneous.#2
If you choose this Dark Blue silk fabric colour your nature tends to be reserved and quiet, you keep a certain distance, but you give calm and practical help when needed.
You are orderly and you prefer to have direction - untidiness and unpredictability overwhelms you.
Familiarity is your comfort zone, you can be nostalgic and enjoy looking back to the past.
“In the meaning of colours, Blue relates to one-to-one communication, especially communication using the voice - speaking the truth through verbal self-expression as the teacher or the public speaker.”#2
The person who likes Blue can seem to be idealistic but you aspire to higher ideals and a deeper spiritual perspective.
You exhibit an inner security and confidence, and you can be relied upon to take control and do the right thing in difficult times.
You are a person who likes a place of contemplation, and who seeks peace above everything else, and who chooses Blue knowing instinctively that it will bring that tranquility into your bed.
What can sleeping on a Midnight Sapphire silk pillowcase do for you?
The cool and soothing, dreamy and magical Dark Blue Silky Kisses silk pillowcase “creates peace and rest.”#27
If you’ve chosen this colour silk pillow case for your boudoir “you probably like to catch a lot of shut eye — and you're a cheerier person for it. ‘People with blue [in their] bedrooms get more sleep than any other colour, clocking in at seven hours and 52 minutes per night. It's not just coincidence, either. Unsurprisingly, more than half of the people with blue bedrooms said they regularly wake up feeling happy.”#32
Blue enhances the wisdom of the intellect.#2
Specialised receptors in our eyes — the same cells that inform our brain's daily rhythms — are most sensitive to the colour blue, according to Chris Idzikowski of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre.’”#32
This is useful for healing as Dr. Edwin Babbitt states in his classic, "The Principles of Light and Colour," that "The Blue Ray is one of the greatest antiseptics in the world.”#27
“Over the past decade, scientists have reported the successful use of blue light in the treatment of a wide variety of psychological problems, including addictions, eating disorders, impotence, and depression.”#8
And the research continues, but although an ancient study, (even Plato wrote about this science), Colour Therapy is still largely misunderstood and under-utilised.
I love colour so I’ve delved into the science and share it with you here for your interest and contribution.

This shimmering white silk fabric reflects light, picking up other colours in its vicinity.
White is considered a summer colour, easiest for decorating, light, and neutral and goes with everything. Our silk fabric is not acrylic satin, with its static and plastic unnaturalness, but with Mulberry silk in a weave called Charmeuse - the ultra shine is on the side you sleep on, and the underside has a crepe feel, which helps the silk pillowcase adhere to your pillow.

White is considered a summer colour, easiest for decorating, light, and neutral and goes with everything. Our silk fabric is not acrylic satin, with its static and plastic unnaturalness, but with Mulberry silk in a weave called Charmeuse - the ultra shine is on the side you sleep on, and the underside has a crepe feel, which helps the silk pillowcase adhere to your pillow.
This gorgeous white pillow case tends to reflect the colours and light around it making a glow with magical shadows.
White vibrates with the energy of new beginnings, meaning white wipes the slate clean. It’s a blank canvas that’s waiting to be painted upon. It's not normally stimulating to the senses but white opens up our minds for creating anything our creative brains can conceive.
”White is the perfect colour; for it is all colour, in perfect balance and harmony. It is the colour of the awakened spirit; the light of perfection; the light of the Christ and Buddha consciousness. It is also the Divine Light.
Just about everyone has heard of surrounding people with the "White Light of Healing and Protection." Directing white into the aura helps stimulate the person's own divine nature into healing the self”.#2
What choosing this colour says about you?
People who choose our white pillowcases are mostly organised and logical and don't have a great deal of clutter in their lives.
You are future-looking with a positive and optimistic nature.
Those who love their white bedding are known to be sensible, discreet and wise folk. You like to be impeccable with your appearance, cleanliness and in your home. So people who choose a white silk pillow case are looking to create easy flow in their worlds. You do like others to have these standards also, and you can tend to be critical about others who do not have your way of being, leading to some loneliness because of your need to be in control.
However “white is symbolic of purity, innocence and naivete, as this colour has strong connotations of youth and purity,” beautiful if you’re looking for princess bedding. “If you are an older person, your preference for white could indicate a desire for perfection and [high] ideals, maybe an attempt to recapture lost youth and freshness. It may also symbolise a desire for simplicity or a more simple life.”#3
People who love to have white in their bedding are also “really meticulous in their appearance, unlike the rest of us who would never be able to keep our whites white.
“Self-sufficiency is important to you, and your cautious and practical attitude makes you responsible and careful with money.
“White is a colour of protection and encouragement, offering a sense of peace and calm, comfort and hope”#12, something we all seek, no wonder it’s the most popular of our Silky Kisses pillow case range.
What can sleeping on a Silky Kisses Pearl Lustre silk pillowcase do for you?
This fresh colour is clean and simple and great for regeneration, providing energy and balance to our chrono-biological rhythm by stimulating the production of serotonin, a chemical created in our bodies naturally when we are balanced which regulates both sleep and the nervous system. #7
When you sleep on white silk they say your thoughts become purified. We think so too, as we have experienced surrounding ourselves with white we notice do begin to feel less cluttered and feel more refreshed.
White alleviates emotional upsets and strengthens our mind, raising our energy vibration and bringing harmony to all aspects of our life. This all helps to overcome bad habits and addictions, and also balances too much or too little male energy.
When you choose white for your bedding you seek to bring healing faster for your soul purification and protection from negativity. Sleeping on a Pearl Lustre silk pillow case can rebalance the psychological and hormonal patterns in people who suffer from seasonal depression. Our white silk pillow case offers an inner cleansing while you sleep, with the purifying of your thoughts, your emotions and, ultimately, your spirit, refreshing and strengthening your entire energy system.
How good is that?

Jade carries a “nourishing energy that supports healing, acceptance and elevation, through a recharging of your spirit, according to the psychology of colour.”#2 In nature blue is water and the sky and green is grass, trees, and other plant life - a natural, life-sustaining duo.
]]>Jade carries a “nourishing energy that supports healing, acceptance and elevation, through a recharging of your spirit, according to the psychology of colour.”#2 In nature, blue is water and the sky and green is grass, trees, and other plant life - a natural, life-sustaining duo.
The pacifying purity of our Peacock Jade silk pillowcase colour-energy counteracts chaos and agitation by broadening the flow of communication to the loved ones around you and adds a lively sophistication to your bedroom decor.
This 100% mulberry silk fabric pillowcase is a blend of blue and green having the same calming and elevating effects of each of those colours.
From blue - loyalty, faith, eternity, and immortality and from green - love, joy, abundance, youth, gladness, hope, resurrection and spring.
This vibrant colour reflects “deeper water than its brighter and paler ‘cousin’ turquoise, thus the watery names aqua and aquamarine often relate to this shade of green-blue.” #22
Jade and turquoise colours “have a sweet feminine feel,” but the Peacock Jade silk fabric colour “is a more sophisticated version of turquoise, the darker teal shades vibrate with stronger colour therapy powers of observation and perception” #2 and can be quite reflective of a discerning intellect.
What does your choice of this Teal colour say about you?
Those who love a blue-green colour and have chosen this Peacock Jade silk pillowcase are said to be “exacting, discriminating, poised and attractive.” You tend to be “sensitive, intellectual and refined, persevering and stable if rather detached. Blue-Green personalities have excellent taste, and are usually courteous and charming, capable” but you often refuse help or guidance.#13
Choosing a jade colour signifies that you are trustworthy and reliable, someone who is seeking spiritual advancement, and has strong sense of commitment.”#2
The combination of blue and green brings healing from both energy aspects: blue has the redeeming personality of loyalty, fidelity, faith, modesty, eternity, and immortality; whilst green energy brings the most healing benefits ranging from being of the heart and love, joy, abundance, hope, youth, mirth, gladness, resurrection, spring, to how green expresses into the world with being benevolent, service-oriented, and scientifically orientated.
If you have found this pillowcase appealing you could be looking for healing or balancing, subconsciously, in any of these areas.
Loving and choosing our Jade silk charmeuse pillowcase indicates that you are idealistic, faithful, and sentimental”#6 and we, at Silky Kisses, love this about you.
What can sleeping with this colour do for you?
Jade creates serenity and relaxation in your sleeping life, which then releases those negative thoughts that can spin in our heads at night, with the irritability that can come with it, so it is soothing to the mind.
This pillowcase is not satin - the plastic version of silk fabric which makes static in your bed (nothing anyone likes) - Silky Kisses make our cases from sumptuous Charmeuse style silk in 22 momme, see more here (that’s the technical version of the watery delight it gives you when you hold this material in your hands, and the astonishingly wonderful feeling of face planting into it to feel such comfort!)
Apart from the gorgeousness of the fabric the benefits of this colour are regenerative.
This blue-green, wild, glorious silk fabric has a stabilising influence on a personality, and helps to relinquish self-imposed limitations, it’s even said to provide confidence and self-assuredness.
Jade can also help with decision making as it provides aid for clear and concise thinking.
Jade is an excellent choice for healing feelings of guilt, hurt and defeatism.
A Peacock Jade colour can also “help with decision making as it provides aid for clear and concise thinking.”#23
Apparently it’s a great choice for ”people with weight issues who are stuck in self loathing, as it gives them the courage to seek help and to persevere with their goals.”#17
Jade, the deep blue-green hue often referred to as dark turquoise or teal, represents, through the psychology of colour, the recharging of spirits.
Having a Peacock Jade pillow case as your own comforting and regenerating sleeping buddy brings tranquility and focus to your subconscious mind as you sleep, enhancing wellbeing and peaceful feelings.
Visually focusing on this colour can bring feelings such as calmness or rejuvenation. This can be a helpful colour when going through times of mental or physical stress.
If you actually don’t like the colour jade, or blue-green, this says lots about you too:
You may be uncomfortable with showing compassion and empathy; you may be unwilling to share your innermost feelings; you could be quite shut off from your feelings, being stuck emotionally or creatively; and dislike any change; and organisation and order may make you uneasy.#2
If this describes you, or someone you know, and you’ve magically been drawn here to read these words, then this is the silk pillowcase for you as it will help turn around and transform these somewhat negative personality traits while you sleep.
Combining blues and greens for a natural, watery colour palette in your bedroom decor creates calm and soothes your soul.
How can it get better than that?

Having a Silky Kisses silk pillowcase in our Lemon Chiffon on your bed, with its gentle yellow tone and light intensity, brings you inspiration and positive mental dreaming because this colour energises our agility of thought and perception which helps your brain find new ways of doing things as you sleep. Yellow stimulates practical thinking, original thought, intellectual communication and self-will. It is the colour of intellectuality, resonating with the left side of the brain which seeks knowledge and willpower.
Our Lemon Chiffon is not a silk pillowcase colour that is harsh and bright, but pale, soft and comforting, with an energy for enthusiasm about life.
“Yellow is related to the ego and our sense of self worth, to how we feel about ourselves and how we are perceived by others”.#2 We are frequently seeking balance in life and yellow is the colour balancer of the mind.
Silky Kisses’ subdued yellow silk fabric creates a relaxed yellow experience which calmly uplifts your spirits and inspires a greater confidence and hopefulness within you.
The joyfulness of sleeping with this pillow case in Lemon Chiffon is easy to feel.
What does choosing this colour say about you?
If you have chosen our glorious yellow silk pillowcase, (which we call Lemon Chiffon because of its light, soft, and soothing tone) you love a challenge, and you are a particularly keen seeker of knowledge to gain a logical wisdom. You are considered a great communicator and, although constantly analysing, and you are organised and decisive, even if sometimes a bit impulsive.
You are inquisitive and practical, but not a dreamer. This doesn’t mean that you do not dream, just that, even as the happy idealist that you tend to be, you are balanced by your critical and non-emotional faculties.
“It takes a certain type of personality to prefer yellow to all the other colours. It involves a level of optimism that most people over the age of 10 just don't have. Because of this optimism, and the idealism that comes along with it, people who love yellow sometimes come off as whacky or aloof, but that's just because the moody folks are straight-up jealous”. #12 (We love this aspect of a person who loves yellow, wanting to encourage this individualisation)
“You enjoy learning and sharing your knowledge with others”.#14
You can be “the entertainer, the comic, and the clown”#16 type of personality as you are a cheerful soul with an energising personality, and people gravitate to you because you’re fun.
A person who loves yellow is logical and methodically creative, often the ideas person. You love a challenge but you are a perfectionist.
“You use your mind to achieve you goals rather than your physical energy. [However] you tend to hide your emotions, putting on a brave face in times of adversity”. #2
“Yellow is chosen by the mentally adventurous, searching for novelty and self fulfilment. Yellow usually goes with a sunny and shrewd personality, with a good business head and a strong sense of humour”.#13
“You are good at anything that involves the mind, rather than physical pursuits. Chess, crosswords, card games are yellow pursuits”.#2
All this describes a logical and wise individual who is fun to be around.
What can sleeping on a Lemon Chiffon silk pillowcase do for you?
If you have chosen Lemon Chiffon you may be unconsciously either needing help to stimulate your mental abilities, or you seek to bring fun into your life in bed. (You may also just like this colour as it makes an uplifting accent to your bedroom decor.)
It is a happiness colour which activates the left, or analytical, brain and creates excitement for life. Yellow is related to communication, so surrounding yourself in this colour helps the expression and integration of new ideas and thoughts.
Sleeping on a Lemon Chiffon silk pillow case helps with clear thinking and quick decision-making, creating a more spontaneous you.
Yellow awakens in you a greater confidence and optimism, bringing you a clarity of thought with a focus for study to more easily recall information, especially useful during exam time.
Yellow inspires the courage to express your individuality and your powerful opinions.
It helps you make decisions while you sleep.
"Surprisingly, the second-best colour for sleep is yellow. The sunny hue stimulates the nervous system, encouraging relaxation. Plus, the cheery shade creates instant coziness."#32

As a beauty therapist, my hair and skin are important to me; I like to be nicely groomed and I like to take care of myself. I can honestly say that since I have been sleeping on Silk I have noticed some remarkable differences.
For someone with such a busy life style, blowdrying and straightening my hair every morning just isn't practical;
I need to wake up and be ready to face the day whilst not looking like a rag-doll.
Sleeping on Silk reduces frizziness and tangles, allowing you to wake up looking fresh. Sleeping on silk is also great for your skin because it doesn't pull and stress to your skin, which causes unnecessary wrinkles which you may have noticed happening sleeping on some cotton cases. The soft silk allows your skin to breathe all night allowing you to wake up just as beautiful as when you went to sleep.
Silky Kisses provides the World with something that everyone can benefit from and enjoy; beautiful silk pillowcases and an opportunity to relieve the suffering of women who will never even own a pillow, and who would not even know what a pillowcase is.
Silky Kisses provides a rainbow choice of twenty vibrant and different colours, suitable for all ages and genders in a standard size pillowcase. We also ship pillowcases out all over the World.
A silk pillowcase makes a great gift and for any occasion; birthdays, Christmas, Mothers Day and Fathers day, the list goes on because everyone sleeps.
If you have difficulty choosing a colour (like I did because there’s such beautiful choices) SK also provides gift vouchers which you can purchase to allow the receiver to choose their own colour.
Who will you chose to receive this superb gift?
All of the profits made on each pillowcase go directly to The Fistula Foundation, a four star rated charity (which is the highest star rating a charity can get).
Obstetric Fistula wasn’t something I had ever heard of before working with Silky Kisses, for me this was quite embarrassing to hear about. In the westernised world a lot of us ignore the fact that there is suffering and pain going on all around us, and that may sound like ignorance but because it is all so far away it can be quite easy to ignore sometimes. But when I discovered how many hundreds of thousands of women are suffering debilitating fistulas I realised how terrible a problem it is and I’m glad to be part of a solution help even one woman at a time.
