When life gives you lemons... decorate
And why your home needs and dash of yellow.
I loooove when the seasons change because that means the home decor in stores is also changing!
Last week I went to my local homesense, the Christmas decorations were on clearance and they were stocking the shelves with valentine’s day and spring decor. I kinda fell in love with the lemon decor items like the wreathe above! The thought of a lemon wreathe made me so happy!
Not only is hanging a wreathe on your front door a really good way to attract positive energy to your front door, adding the color yellow and lemons also has many benefits.
In Feng shui lemons represent good health and vitality. They energize a home because of the vibrant yellow color. Lemons are said to neutralize energy and they draw positive energy in.
Tip: place a bowl of 9 lemons in your kitchen for some goodluck!
9 is the number of completion in Feng Shui.
The color yellow represents health, happiness and sunshine. It is also connected to the center of the home which, according to the Bagua map is the health of the home. If your family gets sick frequently or if your home just needs a boost of fresh energy, add some yellow to the center of the home or the room you are working with. You can also place earth elements to the center. Be sure that it is always clutter free and clean.
A yellow front door not only would look so pretty, it would also attract a lot of happiness to the home. If your home is shaded by trees or faces another building that is taller than your home, I highly recommend a yellow door to replace the sunshine that could be blocked.
If you are visiting someone in the hospital or a sick friend or family member, gift a basket of lemons or some yellow flowers. It may not heal them but it will help to bring some bright energy to there home.
I also drink hot water with a lemon slice in the mornings before my coffee.
The benefits of lemon water
Aids in digestion by helping to break down food.
A great source of vitamin c
Helps to increase iron absorption and energy.
Citrus fruits can help to improve heart health.
If you are not drinking lemon water, you must add it to your morning routine!
Lemon scented room sprays and essential oils are also so fresh and can change the mood of the home.
Since lemons are good at keeping negative energy away, I had to grab these lemon candle sticks holders (below) to place in my front entrance! You can also place something similar in the dining room for a positive dining experience with family.
You can also use lemons as tool to see if the energy of your home is good or needs some work. If you have lemons that spoil quickly, check in which other ways you need to tweak the energy. You can always use the Bagua map as a guide to check your other areas. Align the bottom with entance of your home and map out your home.
Tip: If you take a lot of medications, find a secure drawer or cupboard to hide them. When we display medications on the kitchen counters we are bringing attention and making the health issues bigger by drawing attention to them.
I hope that life brings you some lemons and they bring you immense luck! 🍋
