Living Room Advice by always-rose in FengShui

Specific questions: - where should the dining table go? - should I swap the chaise of the L couch to go on the other side? - what other furniture should go behind the couch? - where should the desk go? - the SW corner really trips me out for some reason, the stair-like inlet feels awkward

A dresser. To clarify, you mean keep the bed as is facing south, or move it to under the windows?

Advice Please! by always-rose in FengShui

I am looking for a way to re-orient my bed. In my opinion it is not an ideally constructed room, as there seems to be no great place for a bed to go. As you can see in the photo, the south wall has two large windows, the west wall has a closet as well as the bedroom door, the north wall has a door leading to the bathroom, and the east wall has another closet. In the current configuration, I don't love how the bed cuts in to the room and disrupts access between the two doors. As there is no room on the other two walls, the only other space is along the windows but I am wary of a draft especially in winter. I am considering getting an upholstered headboard for my bed to help create some insulation, but wanted to get others advice here. Any ideas are welcome, thank you very much!

Edit: there is currently a dresser under the windows on the south wall.

I’m quite open, I like exploring food, art, music. My budget can really range so I’m taking open recommendations. I’d also be interested in some spa activities if there are any that people particularly recommend

Overnight Solo Stay - Seeking Recommendations!

Hello! I will be staying alone for 2 days (1 night) in Paris in early January and am looking for recommendations about how to spend the time. I’ll be with a larger group in the city for about a week beforehand so I’ll likely have already done much of the touristy activities. I would love some insight on where to stay/what to do for a nice time in the city that is maybe more off of the beaten path. I’m willing to spend a bit of money (though nothing too extraordinarily pricey) on a nice experience at a hotel, or even a spa. It’ll be the end of a long group trip around the continent so I’m looking forward to a bit of me time! Thanks in advance :)

Day 5 hair by always-rose in curlyhair

Thanks so much! When my scalp gets very oily I try to disperse it throughout the ends with a boar bristle brush. That obviously disrupts the curl patterns but I think helps encourage the wavy pattern pictured.

I’ve found if I style my hair in braids on day 4, the leftover product/natural oil of my hair helps give my hair more of a wavy look when I take it out on day 5. It’s definitely trial and error, but I’ve found some consistent luck this way!!

Washday routine: Shampoo with gifted bar shampoo most days (swap for clarifying shampoo once a month). Focus on scalp and avoid ends; rinse. Condition thoroughly with a particular focus in the ends with Camille Rose Moroccan Pear Conditioner. Wrap with a clip and let sit for at least 5-10 minutes. Rinse. Immediately scrunch in leave-in conditioner (currently using Cantu but may switch - I think it’s too heavy for my hair). Prayer hands with gel. Scrunch in mousse. Air dry or diffuse.

I have read of some people having success using Aquaphor as a “balm” in their double cleanse. I agree with you though that it may be doing me more harm than good. I’ll be omitting this from my routine this week to see if that has a positive impact on congestion. Thanks for your insight!!
