Moving out of a Space, Feng Shui Style

BySusan Chan

Congratulations! All that hard work has paid off. You found your new space. Time to create that To-Do List – pack boxes, change your address, order a new sofa. But hold on a sec! Before you do any of that, you want to think about what you need to do in your existing space before you close…

Finding Your Nest, Feng Shui Style

BySusan Chan

New York is a city of movers and shakers. Especially this time of year. It seems like everyone is either dreaming of moving, actively looking for a new home or just changed residences. That’s alot of chi movement. In Feng Shui, the Chinese philosophy of balance or yin/yang is of utmost importance. We don’t want anything to be…

We got a couple of Phoenixes in the House

BySusan Chan

Fast! Run over to St. John the Divine in upper Manhattan to get a glimpse of the amazing work by Chinese artist, Xu Bing. Ok you don’t really have to run. I was just so enthralled by the installation when I saw it that I want everyone to run over there too. Two phoenix sculptures…

Enter Here

BySusan Chan

I’ve always loved doors – colorful doors, quirky doors, classic doors. It doesn’t matter. Doors have a big significance in Feng Shui. Your front door is where energy enters your space (ideally) and where potential opportunities come in. It is also said that the doors of the home represent the mouths of the individuals who…

Clear Your Path for Opportunities!

BySusan Chan

I just returned from the beautiful city of New Orleans where they have curbside beauty perfected. I often forget about the charming houses until I am there again, imagining myself sipping lemonade on the veranda. For me, it’s a reminder of how important keeping the front of our homes clear and clean as well as…

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…

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…

Give and Take at the Metropolitan Museum of Art

BySusan Chan

Having been a former graphic designer, I’m was sad when I found out that The Metropolitan Museum of Art will no longer be issuing their colorful metal buttons on admission. Wasn’t it nice to guess what color it was going to be and then hearing the “clink” when you dropped it into the plastic box…
