Pink isn't just for little girls anymore. The right shade of this splashy hue can add punch, excitement and vibrancy. At the same time, pink can be a calming color because it's on the light side of red and doesn't have all that red intensity. And lest you think pink is past its prime fashion-wise, think again. Today's pink is a hot color made fresh with a hint of cherry. If you've shied away from pink in the past, it might be just the color to wake up your décor from the winter doldrums. In winter, it's easy to slip into decorating hibernation waiting for spring to infuse your home with new life, but there's no need to wait with the jazzy new shades of pink available today. And you don't have to make a major décor change; with such a vibrant hue, you only need a few touches to make a big impact. In the living room, a comfy pink throw and some throw pillows pump up the vibe in a snap. If you've some time to spare, try a coat of pink paint on a s...

It's frustrating when you become ill and annoying when finances are tight, but few things compare to the feeling of betrayal by a friend. When a friend lets you down, the feeling of shock and disappointment can be hard to bounce back from. Even the green-eyed monster of jealousy can make you feel vulnerable and disillusioned. In many countries the envy and jealousy of another is called the "evil eye." This type of attention is believed to draw energy from you and to encircle you with negative energy that can cause you loss. A good example is when someone secretly covets a pretty necklace that you're wearing, you might find the necklace breaks or that you lose it. You could also be the subject of gossip and politicking at work or in social circles. In 2012, the gossip star, the Jade 3, is in the southwest sector of relationships and women and this could put strain on women in the coming year -- especially for women who are the sole earner or family breadwinner. ...

Body's Feng Shui When we want to read our environment to learn more about our lives, feng shui helps us to understand what our environments are saying about our business success, our family, our health and our relationship happiness. What's fascinating about the study of feng shui is to see the correlation between our lives and our bodies. In addition to reading our spaces to tell us where we can improve our lives, we can also look at our bodies to gain better understanding of our lives and our happiness. Many times before we take a big step in our life - especially a step that requires our faith and courage - we become ill. Illness isn't always a sign that something's wrong; it's often a sign of growth. It's our body's way of "pulling in" and helping itself to marshal its full energy before taking on a big endeavor. To put it another way, we often break down before we break through. Start paying attention to when your body breaks down. I...

He understood the importance of proper rest and being industrious and productive during our daylight hours. There's no arguing that a good night's sleep makes you feel like you can take on the world. Having enough sleep will make you less prone to disease, more effective in your job, a more pleasant person to be around and in feng shui, more likely to have romance  and wealth. Besides the front door, the second most critical area in feng shui is the bedroom. For the foundation of good health, the bedroom that's arranged well and optimally for sleep is also the bedroom that is also arranged best for romance and has relationship enhancing qualities. Perhaps equally important, a bedroom that's arranged well preserves wealth. A bedroom that isn't often sees the occupants' fortunes drained away, and their health an...
