Q & A: any Feng Shui tips for those of us who are busy?

what are your top 3 tips for when you’re busy?

MAKE NICE. do one nice thing for your space every week until the end of the year. there is prolific opportunity to plant things around you that favor happiness. find artwork or imagery that shows the sun rising. hang a mirror on the wall to reflect and bounce light around your space, or let it reflect and double something beautiful in your life. place pops of color around you liberally, deliberately putting yourself in the way of beauty. splurge on a bundle of blooms – you are the reason to buy them, and the celebration is life!

GO FOR LOVE. our eye naturally prowls for beauty, so find something that connects you to that holy feeling of love. and keep something you love like that in every room. maybe it’s a conversation-starting accent; perhaps it’s a chunky knit throw flaunting itself on the couch; or imagine a sparkly chandelier bathing everyone in lovely light. whatever we choose, when we love it, it says we belong to this place – and that sets off energy fireworks! 

FAVOR SIMPLICITY. luxury is about what we can afford to let go of, and there is plenty of wiggle room for editing out clutter and chaos in most homes. when a space feels cramped, we leave ourselves little room for new ideas. and over-stimulation from too much stuff frays our nerves. so, get rid of anything not worth missing. by favoring simplicity, you’ll bookend your days with a palpable satisfaction – one that feels as good as it looks. xo
