Orange Peel Baths

As an adult studying feng shui, I learned that orange peels clear the energy of a space. It brings in yang energy, which is bright and sunny. The color is vibrant and the scent is uplifting.

Mix Up Your Salon Wall

A lot of my clients ask for a salon style wall when I am installing art in their homes. There is a balance to making it not look too cluttered and creating a specific vibe without looking contrived.
