Inspiration + Colour + Placement = Balance

As many of you know, I love any shade of blue from the dark petrol for the Career sector, to aqua, egg shell tones to a clear sky blue. Blue is the colour of water for Feng Shui people and it is my favourite place to be. To sit beside the beach, a lake, on a dock, winter or summer and with a blue sky, is my happy place and space. Blue is just starting to appear in French navy in the shops. Sofas, cushions and bed linen have finally changed from the dull beiges that seem to be a hang

This is a very practical Feng Shui post about the entrance to your living place which is so important and sets the energy and attraction for the Bagua map. Before you even get inside your house, apartment or living space, take a step back and look at what the exterior tells you. If there is a front garden, is it tidy and welcoming? If there is a porch, are there any broken panels or steps needing to be fixed? Does the doorbell work, is there a light for safety? If it is an apartment, you may find like us that the

It is amazing to think that this Feng Shui blog was started in 2018 and here we are near the end of 2024 of the Western calendar. It has been a lot of information over the years including changes of countries, cities and apartments along the way. One of the biggest lessons to learn is that Feng Shui isn't a miracle cure, it is about balancing what you can control and then using positive affirmations to attract positive situations.

Parks in cities around the world are called, 'green lungs', and they are so important to those with no green space, balcony or even a window. We need to value, visit and support them so all of us can

Summer gave a sigh and said farewell. Autumn has arrived with cooler air and a weaker sun in a clear blue sky.  The markets are full of colourful vegetables, mushrooms and you just know that it is time to rug up. Not being a fan of winter, it is at least mild where we live and soups beckon, pear and parsnip, butternut pumpkin and cinnamon, all with a swirl of creme fraîche.

Feng Shui can be used anywhere that you live and work in , it is not just for your living space but also for the car, the office, your desk and definitely for a business. There is a new hair salon nearby that opened up a few months ago and it is clear that business is slow. I would walk by on the way to the gym or the beach and kept noting the poor Feng Shui aspects and lack of clients, with the employees looking worried. Finally, deciding to try them out just for a basic manicure, it was quickly

Tomorrow is the start of one crazy and emotional week - the US elections, a new moon for those into astrology, changing of the clocks, changing of the seasons and anything else that may come from left of field. All we can do is hope for the best, stay in a good mood and listen to happy music.
