hello, december!
‘tis the time of year when sparkle and shine are house guests, and celebration and merry making interrupt our daily routines. so, let’s throw some simple shui in the air and make our homes bewitching and bright. you in?
TIP ONE: LET IT GLOW
glowing candles and twinkling lights are festive fun, yes? they also represent fire. and this element LOVES to celebrate connection and compassion. so, if you’re looking to feed your joie de vivre, light it up. add a couple candlesticks to your dinner time ritual this month. wrap a pile of logs with string lights and make them more dramatic. or stand in the sun and drink up an early sunset. even the smallest suggestion of light will turn yours on!
TIP TWO: GATHER YOUR PEOPLE
oh, for the LOVE of a dining room! this space is often overlooked, neglected, or replete with an identity crisis. so, if you have one, use it. simply using a room – however works best – improves our house shui. if yours happens to also have a table and chairs, host a meal. when we feed many mouths, it caters to abundance. and when we roll like that, prosperity and luck find us mighty attractive. I can already hear the wolf whistles. even better? happy faces equal happy spaces.
TIP THREE: GO FOR GOLD
gold loves money. it howls for that cha-ching energy. and under its spell, good things happen. you see, gold is metaphorical for wealth, and a little here and there adds up. so, find a few pieces of this majestic metal – gold coins, gold-ish trinkets, or even foil stamped art – and merge its delightful frequency into your space. once you start, you’ll discover it’s so much more than a metal of the moment.
TIP FOUR: DOUBLE UP
mirrors have magical qualities, especially when used wisely. everything we’ve been talking about so far can double just like that if you add a mirror to the mix. and with gold shimmering, lights flickering and smiling faces under your roof, a mirror becomes a wizard multiplying your joy. no room on the wall for a mirror? work your reflective materials instead – a shiny tea kettle on the stove or a few well-placed glass ornaments, and it’s love me two times, baby!
TIP FIVE: PLANT SMILES
if you’re not sure what to give this season, might I suggest the gift of chi? plants and fresh flowers do all sorts of fancy talking in a home, improving the quality of our well-being and harnessing ultra-replenishing energy. and when they are well taken care of, plants are the gift that keeps on giving.
need a few suggestions to awaken your creative green thumb?
if health is an issue, go for white blooms. want to give LOVE, find pink blossoms. and for those who are all about the money honey, purple buds will take them there. as for orchids – they re-calibrate career energies while also influencing family harmony. flowering branches are powerhouses when overcoming obstacles. and a magnolia wreath is equal parts sophistication and self-awareness. layer a couple meanings, and this fresh gift becomes so much more! xo
