Did You Make Space?

BySusan Chan

Spring Spring Spring! It’s what we all are waiting for. Even me, who unabashedly admitted earlier this season that weather doesn’t affect me. Well after this endless NYC winter, it’s affecting me! In Feng Shui, the Spring season signifies New Beginnings. Think of it like a second chance at New Years! Great things can happen…

Music to Your Ears

BySusan Chan

Are you someone who listens to music while they work or cook? Or do you revel in the silence of your surroundings? We all know that music is a magical element. It has the reputation to “soothe the savage beast” as well as be an instant mood uplifter which is why we use musical elements…

Put a Spring in Your Step

BySusan Chan

There’s no denying that Spring is on the horizon. In NYC, we thought it would never come but our unusual east coast patience is paying off. Beautiful sunny days are squeezed between snow flurries and there’s no ignoring the excitement on everyone’s rush hour faces when it’s still daylight at 6pm. Hooray Daylights Savings Time!…

Who do you Love?

BySusan Chan

Happy Valentine’s Day! For some, it’s a day that has been long prepared and waited for. For others, it’s a day that can not be over quickly enough. A big reason this holiday is dreaded is a lack of a romantic partner. Yes, that is definitely what Hallmark would like for you to feel. If…

Shaking up Tradition

BySusan Chan

I’m a pretty old fashioned kind of gal. I love traditional rituals but the eccentric in me always loves to throw in a twist or two. It keeps things spicy (and what’s life without a bit of spice?) and I had the opportunity to experiment during my Chinese New Year’s celebrations. I was honored to…

No smoking please

BySusan Chan

It may be a strange thing to be talking about smoke alarms on the eve of Thanksgiving. Or maybe not. When I saw this product in a magazine recently, I was intrigued by its beauty but thought to myself, “Ok, but does it really work?” When I visited the Nest website and watched this video,…

What’s on the outside DOES count

BySusan Chan

I’m a sucker for packaging. For example, I don’t really wear fragrance because I can’t find a scent in a bottle I really like. Does a product’s packaging really make that much of a difference? In Feng Shui – YES, especially when it comes to the facade of your home or business. Too often, I…

Wellness Inside and Out

BySusan Chan

Yesterday was an amazing day. I had the opportunity to attend the “Beauty Wellness Wisdom Event” at ABC Carpet. All I have to say is Wow. I was so excited for the line up of speakers and presenters, some of who are already my heros and others who would soon become them – Kris Carr,…

Protect your Noggin

BySusan Chan

Have you gotten around yet to rent and ride a Citibike? Ok, I know the weather has been less than cooperative with its stifling jungle-like weather, but things should be cooling down hopefully this weekend. Just in time to hop on a bike! But please, please, please, remember to wear a helmet. Biking is great…
