A Cut Above the Rest

BySusan Chan

Beautiful isn’t it? If you look very closely though, you’ll see that it’s not as flat as you thought it was…… Whoa. That’s what I said when I saw (and figured out) what exactly was Lisa Rodden’s works of art. Delicate little treasures that are not only gorgeous but spiritually moving and emotionally imbued. Her…

The Imperial Mondrian

BySusan Chan

Sunday tea at the Mondrian. Or their restaurent, Imperial No. Nine to be exact. Almost as nice as a drive to the country. Almost. The main differences are that it’s off the R train and is filled with fashionistas. The menu looked good (we only had beverages and a nibble) and most importantly the setting…

Today is official World Feng Shui Day! It’s a great day to spread the news about what you love about Feng Shui or to incorporate Feng Shui into your life. It can be as easy as setting an intention for your coming week or helping friends do something they cannot doing themselves. It’s about moving…

Minimalist Interiors

BySusan Chan

Decluttering. Minimal. Those are the buzz word going around these days especially around resolution times. Feng Shui involves placing furniture and personal belongings so that energy or Chi can move freely and optimally. I must emphasize though that the person/s using the space must feel their energy is settled, secure and happy within this environment….

BySusan Chan

Now that the western New Year has come and gone, it’s time for a second chance – Chinese New Year! This year it arrives earlier than usual on January 23rd. In order to prep for Chinese New Year, Chinese families usually do a huge cleaning, both at home and in finances. This ensures that the…

Looking for Joe?

BySusan Chan

Gone are the days of the paper “We are happy to serve you” greek coffee cups of NYC. You can definitely still find them in scattered bodegas around town, but they are definitely and sadly, going extinct. I love my occasional cup of Joe and luckily I’m finding that it’s easier and lovelier getting my…

Do you C Wonder?

BySusan Chan

I could say that for my profession, it’s important that I venture out for inspiration. I admit though that as a creative entrepreneur, I just can’t help seeking out new ideas and New York City is the mecca for that. Walking around SoHo the other day, I came across a store that I read about…

What I did this weekend

BySusan Chan

I put it off long enough. Until this weekend, I was wearing tank tops layered under flimsy jackets, with my toes turning purple from the cooler New York weather. I was one of the last opponents of autumn, squeezing out every ounce of the last days of summer. In Feng Shui, the change of seasons…

A little Color on a Grey Day

BySusan Chan

Here we go again, manic fall weather. 80 degrees and gorgeous one day, grimfully wet and grey another. Like today. Sneezing and coughing surround you. Ill humor lingers dangerously. What do you do, where do you go? First things first, make sure you are getting enough sleep and are drinking enough water. Also make sure…
