How To Feng Shui Your Home: Learn How To Attract Positive Energy Into Your Home With These Tips.
It's during times like this one must take good care of themselves and surroundings. We are all restricted on a lot lately and the last thing you need is to be stuck in a home that feels negative and toxic, this is a topic I tend to talk about a lot lately especially because we are all having to be at home more.
Our homes should be a place we love, where we enjoy waking up and coming back home to. If you want to breathe more life into your living space by creating a happy, healthy and welcoming environment, then there's no better place to start than with the principles of feng shui, and in a nutshell, Its principles maintain that we live in harmony with our environment.
Homes are a reflection of those that live in it. If any part is missing, neglected or has negative energy then this is reflected in the life of its occupant. We have to take care of our homes the same way we take care of ourselves. Your home can drastically affect your mood. When we're seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling, and tasting things we like, we feel good and healthy, but when we're surrounded by things that are aesthetically displeasing or trigger painful memories, we feel bad. I am here to tell you that it's possible to bring more positivity into your life simply by rearranging your living space.
Ensure that furniture for the living room is in proportion to space. Do not block any doors with furniture and position the main sofa against a wall this sets the tone for the other aspects of the living room. Additional Tip- To activate wealth energy in your home, place a lamp in the corner of the room (diagonally opposite the room door), there are certain plants that help attract positive energy and abundance into the home, I will do a post on this soon.
Use Essential Oils
Essential oils are one of my all-time favourite ways to increase positive energy in any space.
Essential oils are one of my all-time favourite ways to increase positive energy in any space.
Essential oils are used for many things including- reducing stress, boosting mood, alleviating anxiety and depression, increasing focus and concentration, and promoting peaceful sleep. I would recommend using a diffuser as this will add that extra push the oil needs to exude beautiful fragrance around your home, I use diffusers in every corner of my home and sometimes I add my homemade oils to attract a very powerful and positive vibe into my home.

However here are five oils that I recommend and their uses:
Lavender soothes and calms you. It promotes a sense of well-being and reduces stress.
Sweet orange supports a positive mood. It’s a very uplifting oil that also inspires creativity.
Ylang Ylang calms and relaxes you. It can help reduce feelings of anger.
Bergamont alleviates anxiety, fatigue, and stress.
Frankincense promotes focus and concentration. It also helps balance emotions.
These are only some of the many essential oils that can bring positive energy and peace to your home, there are many more oils out there with different uses, experiment to figure out which ones work best for you.
Declutter Your Surrounding
Clutter is stressful. I can’t stand seeing piles of stuff everywhere, and I definitely cannot function on a messy desk. However, I know it’s easy to let things pile up around the house, especially during the week when you’re tired after work and all, So, use this period to start decluttering your home and get rid of things you don’t need. You’ll probably be surprised by how much you can eliminate to help organize your living space.
Decorate your home with things that make you happy. Wall decorations with cute sayings like “Live, Laugh, Love,” “Live Your Dream,” or other inspiring quotes add positive vibes to any room. Decorate your home using your favourite Colours. Colour is a powerful influencer, and the way we feel when we see a colour we dislike can affect us physically and emotionally, We may suddenly feel exhausted, anxious, or angry and have no idea what is causing this, but unbeknownst to you, it might be a colour in your surrounding that is triggering these feelings, you may have known you hated a colour but didn’t realize the colour was actually adding to your anxiety, this is something that also happened to me a while back that is why I have always loved the colour white as it represents (Pure, Bright, Protection, Healing, Positivity) and all my walls are painted in White.
On the flip side, putting up art, decorations and furniture that are your favourite colour or complementary colours can keep you feeling positive.
Lastly, Make Your Bed
Growing up I am sure your parents annoyed you when they nagged you about tidying up your room/bed/wardrobe etc, but a well-made bed really can help you feel ready to start your day and go to sleep peacefully at night, having an organized environment sets the tone for the day.
Give it a try today, you’ll be amazed at its power, especially when you walk into the bedroom at the end of the day, and it looks inviting and comfy. You just can’t wait to jump into bed at night and get a good night’s sleep.
I do hope these tips have been helpful in some way, please leave comments below on how you attract positive energy into your own home and also check out my next post below.
Interior Design : My Passion Is Harmonising Your Home And Living Space To Suit Your Needs.[Photos]
I want today’s post to be slightly different and thought it would be fun to share some home decor ideas and inspiration from the place where I feel most comfortable.
Your home is your own lair, the resting place and private sanctuary where you can hide away from the world and relax.
Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, and do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.
I have also learned the art of DECLUTTERING and DOWNSIZING which has developed into a passion of mine and love to help and teach people to organize their homes to function and look the best they can to suit their own individual lifestyles.
So if you’re decorating, re-decorating, renovating, downsizing, or just revitalizing any part of your home and want friendly professional advice, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s talk! - contact@lindaobella.com

Lifestyle: Tips On How To Take Outstanding Photos For Your Social Media Platform.
Many people have the best phones and gadgets but still do not know how to take a proper photo but it's through no fault of theirs, to achieve a beautiful picture it's not entirely up to the kind of phone you use or the price of the product- It's about Angle, Perspective. Taking an image, freezing a moment, reveals how rich reality truly is.
People usually think they need to have the latest phones, items and gadgets to take a good picture, they see other people's pages on IG and start feeling bad about what they have rather than feel inspired and look at things from another perspective, I remember several times I have seen a photo on IG and I will be like "Omgosh so beautiful" but I don't have that item, therefore, I may not be able to create this exact same picture but I do have other little items I could use and then change the concept to suit my environment, Page Vibe and something that is to my liking.
Sometimes when I add up the price of what's in my photograph the total amount is nothing more than £50, so it's all about - The Angle, The Vision, The Passion and The Motive.
You may have heard the saying, "It's the little things that count." It also applies to photography. Close-up images that capture small, intricate, and delicate details can make for really compelling visual content. Keep an eye out for textures and patterns like peeling paint, a gravel road, or a tile tabletop.
Take advantage of the sources of natural light you can find, even after dark. This gives you a chance to play with shadows, Sometimes, using your camera's flash can improve a photo — but rarely does it do so at night.
In already well-lit spaces, however, a flash can help to soften some dark shadows behind or beneath your main subject.
Don't be afraid to edit your photos ( Even a soft edit goes a long way).
play around with filters, Composing and taking your smartphone photo is just the first step to making it visually compelling. Editing your photos is the next step — and a very critical one, at that. Filters can be a valuable photographic tool.
I can't stress enough the importance of "Lighting" when trying to achieve the perfect photo. Light is one of the biggest photography factors. Too much light and your object end up looking washed out. Too little and the dark photo doesn’t grab your audience’s attention. When you’re doing brand photography, you want to understand how light affects the location you usually shoot in.
Early morning and sunset sun usually tend to cast the softest glow. An afternoon sun’s harsh rays often blow out a photo’s white parts. If you know how the sun and lights behave in your space, then it’ll be easier to plan the photoshoot, When I feel motivated to take a photo for my blog or IG, I check the weather and the light outside, if it's - A grey weather (I don't even bother lol) and even if I go for it, It's not a bright coloured photo, maybe something to post on story feed.
Photography is the story I fail to put into words, In photography, there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality. To me, Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever, It remembers the little things, long after you have forgotten everything that is why when taking a photo appreciate and enjoy that moment.
Many people think it's just a simple act when one brings out a camera to take pictures. Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures.
Like this lovely quote I love from- The Late Karl Lagerfeld - What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.”
