Cocktail time
It really is as easy as keep it simple and have fun. Where you put your stuff is less important than how you feel. If you have been stressing out the entire week before hand, practically killed yourself cleaning your space, spent more money that you have on nice wine and food – my gut tells me it is not going to be very much fun. Feng Shui looks to keep the energy flow going smoothly. If your energy is stressed out – it’s not going to flow no matter how “perfect” your space is.
If you feel relaxed and are happy – it will be a great party!!
Try this for your next holiday event:
1. Serve no more than 3 food items and 3 drinks. (People actually do not like too many choices anyway – so why bother?)
2. Hire a housekeeper, local teenager, or pay your own kids to clean the house for you.
3. Decorate with simple things – a few ornaments in a bowl – a sprig of holly on the table – a few pinecones on the table.
4. Take time to look spiffy so you feel great.
5. Play upbeat, fun music. (A Jackson 5 Christmas is a great choice!)
6. Light candles. (Everyone looks better in candlelight – and they have the magical ability to make a room look very inviting)
7. Laugh at yourself when you begin to feel stressed out – “oh look – there I go being human and feeling stress again.”
8. Enjoy!
