FRIDAY FIVE – 5 Guilt Free Benefits Of Artificial Plants In Your Home

November 7, 2013 by Melinda

1. Not enough light. It’s essential to surround yourself with that lush greenery, and there’s many a spot that doesn’t get some sun-loving!

2. They never need to be watered. Cant get any easier than that, especially if you lead a very active life and are barely home.

3. Allergies. Yep its a sad truth. People are allergic to the pollens in flowers, and certain plants and trees can be toxic for your pets & kids. Scary huh?!

4. They never die leaving your place always looking fabulous, and let’s be honest – nothing beats that.

5. Breaking away from the purist mentality of “Having to have fresh flowers & plants” is a very healthy attribute. In allows your mind to not get caught up in societies stigmas.

This here is an artificial succulent garden that I have in a corner that receives no light. I love it!

FRIDAY FIVE – 5 Easy Ways To Feng Shui Your Home

November 1, 2013 by Melinda

I’m a big believer in energy in the home. Here are some quick tips to elevate that CHI:

1. If you have any square table, place something round on top of it. This is how the chi circulates.

2. Two mirror’s should never face each other. The energy reflects off of the other, hence it doesn’t circulate.

3. Never place a desk, bed, or sofa with its back to the door. You will give your power away.

4. Always close the toilet lid when flushing the toilet. Apart from the germ factor, you would be flushing money down the toilet. And close the door!

5. De-clutter. Energy should flow freely and cannot when there is mess. Minimalism and simplistic surrounds creates great harmony which creates great chi.

If you want to learn more here’s a great book. Easy, practical and very spot on! Clear Your Clutter With Feng Shui.
