SHÙMÙ

Dining spaces are such an important part of the house, it’s where we share our food with friends and family and we should pay attention to it specially right now.

In the past few months with this difficult situation we are all going through, I have been noticing that this part of the home is very busy, meals all the time, studies and work, and all sorts of stuff over the dining table.

So in order to achieve the best energy flow in this space and giving it due importance, here’s what we can do:

• keep the table free from clutter;
• use fresh fruit for the table center;
• place a big mirror in that area, for Feng Shui experts it represents multiplying food and family prosperity;
• use that area for meals mostly, sometimes we tend to eat more in the kitchen;
• keep this space clean and sparkle;
• a good lighting is crucial;
• last but not least, stay away from television when you are having your meals, don’t let children play with iPads and games at the table, keep your telephones out and don’t answer calls or check notifications. All of this are disturbing items for a healthy meal.

Remember, meals and memories are made here, make them the best.🧡

Exemplifying- Limonium sinuatum – a Sea Lavender species knowned due to the characteristics of its flowers and leaves that are the most suitable for obtaining dried flowers and cut flowers, and also in addition to ornamental plant pots.
This happens because the flowers remain with color and without falling for a long time even without water, but in terms of energy are empty and not alive, only its colors can give us a good visual feeling, but that’s it.
This stagnant energy of dry flowers and leaves is often placed in another stagnant room or part of the house, and instead of bringing that energy up it will do the opposite.
For this matters, and for most of Feng Shui specialists, I usually don’t advice having them at home, specially the ones we can’t see like hidden inside books, boxes and oftentimes inside drawers, if no longer as scents then you should take it out.
But if you really like them and for some reason you cannot have live plants instead, use only if the purpose is to bring some visual detail or nice fragrance and make sure they are placed somewhere visible,just like any piece of decor you love. 💜

Remodeling kitchens can be really challenging like this before and after. In this case, all of the cabinets doors and drawers were in a bad shape but most of the inside structure was still good so in order to save money, time and resources we should always evaluate whether some things are still in a good condition before destroying everything.
A functional and clean kitchen is really important for Feng Shui experts, not only is associated with our health, happiness, and wealth but also, because of the stove, which represents the fire element in your home. Always keep in mind that having a messy kitchen with to much objects in counter tops might create a negative energy in your space, which might cause impact in the health of family members.

If you have an outdoor space, please consider it as another important room of your house, these spaces are often neglected and if this type of energy is present in your outdoor living spaces, that can completely ruin the good interior vibes you’ve been achieving.

So here are just a few simple advices:

• clear your space from clutter like old and rusty furniture that are useless, dead plants, tools, sports items, etc;
• create a relaxing corner with comfy pillows, where you can chill, read or even take a nap;
• Boundaries and natural fencing are important to keep your privacy and most of all bad energy,pollution and noise away from your home. A natural fence could be a row of shrubs or trees along your outdoor space but you can also install an artificial fence and decorate it;
• Here is where you can use and abuse plants but choose wisely and according to your availability, they are also living beings and need care and attention, specially in hot summer;
• always have some shadow and even if it only fits a small table, place one for breakfast, a snack or these days even working on the computer.

And most of all, enjoy your outdoor space!💚

Yes certainly, both are about earth energy, transformation, cycles, changing our old habits and ways of living for achieving wellbeing, but in this case our action has direct impact for all of us globally.
If you’re committed to a green lifestyle, you may already be composting but for the ones who didn’t have the chance yet, did you know the world dumps a massive 2.12 billion tons of waste every year?

When we compost, we are keeping that waste out of the landfill and transforming it into something that’s good for the environment, and not bad. Composting sequesters carbon in the soil (rather than putting it in the air by incinerating waste) and limits methane by keeping waste out of landfills. Currently, 95% of compostable waste goes to landfills or is incinerated.
Home composting involves people collecting their food waste in bins. From there, we can either take the food waste to a local composting collection site ( farmers markets or websites like @sharewaste) or compost the waste ourselves and then use it in our own garden.
