9. The assembly according to claim 8 , wherein said lid shield has a first edge, a second edge, a topmost surface and a bottommost surface, said bottommost surface of said lid shield resting against said upper surface of said lid thermochromic member, each of said first edge and said second edge of said lid shield being bonded to said top surface of said lid.
10. A heat reactive toilet seat assembly for changing colors from a user's body heat for novelty purposes, said assembly comprising:
a toilet seat including a thermochromic element thereby facilitating said toilet seat to change colors based on temperature, said toilet seat being hingedly coupled to a toilet having a user of the toilet sitting thereon wherein said toilet seat is configured to be in thermal communication with the user for changing colors based on the user's body temperature in the convention of a mood ring, said toilet seat comprising:
a ring having a top surface and a bottom surface, said bottom surface facing a rim of the toilet when said toilet seat is lowered;
said thermochromic element being a ring thermochromic member being positioned on said top surface of said ring wherein said ring thermochromic member is configured to be in thermal communication with the user when the user sits on said ring, said ring thermochromic member being comprised of a thermochromic material thereby facilitating said ring thermochromic member to change color based on temperature, said ring thermochromic member extending around a full circumference of said ring, said ring thermochromic member having a lower surface and an upper surface, said lower surface being bonded to said top surface of said ring, said lower surface substantially covering said top surface, said upper surface being convexly arcuate with respect to said lower surface; and
a ring shield being positioned over said ring thermochromic member, said ring shield being comprised of a translucent material thereby facilitating said ring thermochromic member to be visible through said ring shield, said ring shield being comprised of a thermally conductive material thereby facilitating thermal communication between said ring thenuochromic member and the user when the user sits on said ring, said ring shield having a first edge, a second edge, a topmost surface and a bottommost surface, said bottommost surface resting against said upper surface of said ring thermochromic member, each of said first edge and said second edge being bonded to said top surface of said ring; and
