10 things I am loving | November 2025

‘tis the month that carries herself all aglow as the year winds down…and when gratitude feels like the most holy of rituals.

for me, it’s also the moment Saint Ritual is finally opening her doors – and a dream made tangible, built from years of study and story.

so.

while I’m sweeping the floors and lighting the first candles inside my ‘new home’, here’s what’s been catching my eye and inspiring me these last few weeks.

no. 1: one of a thousand examples why Feng Shui is a worthy investment and valuable fluency these days.

no. 2: Gucci gets it – red is the POWER color!

no. 3: a list of rituals that get two shui thumbs up!

no. 4: arranging flowers is a form of journaling.” be still, my heart!

no. 5: color (or the lack thereof) shapes your mood, and honestly… I think it’s one of the reason people LOVE dressing their homes for the holidays – the color, the textures, the unabashed JOY of it all quenches us!

no. 6: I say it at least once a week – Feng Shui has nothing to do with budget or brilliance. it is about making a space that blends a little beauty with the practical in a way that makes sense for YOU and who you’re becoming!

no. 7: please, please, PLEASE support artists – your home will feel even more FABULOUS and FANCY while you feel more stress free!

Saint Ritual was built on that belief. we work with small makers and even commissioned an artist to create one of the store’s signature features – because supporting art means supporting creativity itself.

no. 8: even though it is presented as ‘design’, I could easily swap out ‘design’ for Feng Shui and we’d have a quick checklist on what really matters in your home (and notice there is nothing here about the bagua!).

no. 9: “I create prayers from my fears.” thank you, Ms. Tracee Ellis Ross.

no. 10: I feel like I’ve been saying this for decades now, but beauty in your space isn’t shallow, superficial, ‘only for people with money’, a waste of resources, or a people-pleasing pursuit. it is the ultimate form of self-hospitality, friends! xo
