From the Editor

hello dear reader!

I hope this finds you and your loved ones doing well.

Some of you may know that last month was my milestone birthday. And while I am not one who brags about celebrating it, this one I felt I needed to. The reason I did it is because I am beyond grateful. And when we are truly grateful, we should let the world know. The more you are grateful for what you have the more you will have to be grateful for, said Zig Ziglar.

So, I am grateful for all the amazing people in my life, those who share the joys, and laughter either over the phone, at cocktail hour, or at a delicious meal. I am grateful for living - for being alive and healthy, and for being here in this moment in time. Life is a wonder and the unknown can be scary but also wondrous. I am grateful for the hurdles, the sorrows, and the experiences that made me stronger, wiser and more connected to life and the people around me. I am grateful for Mother Nature and its wonders - the animals, the sky, the sun, the stars, the seas and all that surrounds them. I'm grateful for adventures near and far - for they open up fascinating worlds. I'm grateful for those who support me and my business, in whichever capacity they can.

I am also grateful for you for taking the time to read this letter.

Cheers to gratitude!

Till next issue,

Six Ways to Create Balance at Home Home is the sacred, nourishing place that gives us shelter. It is the cherished place that allows us to replenish and restore, and create lasting memories. Keeping the energy in your home balanced has great benefits.

Feng Shui is an ancient practice that uses energy - good ones of course - to harmonize individuals and the spaces they live in. It means wind-water and its principle relates to the belief we are connected to and flowing with the environment around us. It aims to help us create harmony in spaces and in life.

Those who believe in the power of energy will benefit from the following tips: Clear the entry - as the first room into your home, the entrance needs to be uncluttered, free of dirt, and well-lit.

Make sure to keep this area in order, always inviting and spacious. This goes for the outside of the front door as well.

This will welcome energy to come in.

Clean the windows - in Feng Shui, the windows are the eyes of the home.

They need to be cleaned regularly to allow sunshine and light in, making the home more vibrant and colorful. In turn, 3 | Riche Home & Lifestyle

you’ll see the vibrancy of nature around your home with more clarity.

Clear your path - ensure your path throughout your home is never obstructed. It allows you and energy to flow in your daily path. Anything that is obstructive (jammed drawers or closet, a door that is hard to close or open, etc..) is bad Feng Shui for your home. Clear it.

Always have plants - green, vibrant plants will always keep you connected to the wonderful energy of nature. They will fill your home with fresh energy.

Be clutter-free - this also applies to the entire home, not only the front door.

Getting rid of what is no longer necessary anywhere in your home gives room for something new to come into your life.

Show gratitude - love the home you live in by showing gratitude. Always keep it clean and organized. Feel free to literally thank your home for what it gives you.

In Feng Shui, energy is always flowing to benefit you. Allowing space for it to flow abundantly will bring more balance to your life.

Interior Styling Tip Adding color to neutral toned spaces

If you have neutral furnishings and would like to spice up your space with pops of color, use one color or some colors from a favorite item (artwork, rug, pillows, etc...) to bring extra pizzazz to your space. Accessories are relatively inexpensive and easy to change.
