I'm Anjie Cho, and this is how to create inspirational wall decor.

In feng shui, I often suggest that my clients place some inspirational wall decor above their desk or located as one of the first things that you would see when coming into your home. To create your own inspirational wall decor you'll need a few things: a picture frame, your computer, a printer and some unique paper that you like.

First things first, select an inspirational quote of words. I've selected this quote from the writer Joseph Campbell, "Follow Your Bliss". There are websites out there that can help you create a word cloud like this. You can search online for word cloud and find a website that will help you generate one just like this. Select a quote you love or meaningful words to have on your inspirational wall art. Words have great impact on this.

So use your computer, print out your quote of words, put it on a nice paper that you like, open up the back of the frame, pop in the art, use tape if you need to and then you've created your own inspirational wall art.

It's so beneficial and positive to spend the time to make your own inspirational wall decor. Not only will it be personal to you it will motivate you to improve your life.

De-Stress Your Closet: Feng Shui Style

featured May 1 on Savor

When I tell my clients to de-clutter their closets, what I’m really saying is “create some space in your life.” Feng shui principles encourage us to peek into those dark closets to begin to shift the energy in our spaces. This releases stale, blocked energy and welcomes in new, vibrant life energy.

As we’re moving into the warmer weather months, this is a great time to de-clutter your closets. I have three feng shui tips to help you to make some space in your closet and consequently, your life.

Donate

If they haven’t seen daylight in the last three years, it’s time to donate the clothing, accessories or shoes. Pay special attention to the items that fall into the categories of “does not fit anymore” or “never worn before.” If it doesn’t fit you anymore, whether it’s too small or too big, you’re holding onto blocked energy.

This often translates to holding onto weight. If you really want to release weight, let go of some of the clothing that’s holding you back. Then there are those outfits that looked good on the rack but are still hanging in your closet with price tags. Let them go, too!

I'm Anjie Cho, and this is a natural way to clean salt from suede shoes with vinegar.

During snowy winter months, the salt used to melt snow can leave white patches on our suede shoes. This is my favorite pair of shoes, and sadly I walked out one day in the snow and now look at them. But there's a natural way to clean salt stains from suede shoes with vinegar. You'll just need some common household items, cotton balls, a rag, an old toothbrush and of course white vinegar.

White vinegar is a great all-around natural non-toxic cleaning alternative for everything from cleaning windows, as a laundry booster, and as I'll show you, for cleaning the salt from your shoes. The acidic acid in the vinegar dissolves the salt deposits without damaging the suede. In fact, this also works with leather.

Before you start, be sure to test a small area of the shoe, like the tongue. If that test area dries fine, you're good to go.

First step, dilute the vinegar in equal parts water.

Next step, dip the toothbrush or any nylon bristle brush into the solution and gently loosen the salt from the shoe. Then if required, use a cotton ball or a rag to blot. Now let the shoe air dry.

Check if the stains are gone. If not, repeat the steps. It may take a couple tries. Amazingly, the salt stains are gone and you don't have to worry about the salt on your suede shoes anymore.

Use vinegar as a natural and eco-friendly way to clean the salt from your shoes.
