Feng Shui Improves Productivity in Cube Farms!
by: Troy Doucet
When decorating work cubicles, a little knowledge of Feng Shui can go a long way.
Here are a few helpful hints that will improve your day in the cube.
By implementing these simple changes, you will immediately feel dramatic improvement to your work day.
The biggest Feng Shui problem with cubicles is that your back is to the entranceway.
You are unable to see when people approach the doorway behind you, causing a constant unsettling environment for you.
Feng Shui is about harmony of your environment, and having your back to the entranceway is a major disruption to that harmony.
Fortunately, there is a ?cure?!
To cure this problem when decorating work cubicles, place a mirror inside the cubical that reflects the entranceway behind you.
This way, you can always see who is approaching you from behind.
Even though a cubical is a very small area, it is still an office.
The rules of Feng Shui that are applied to regular sized offices (and living spaces) also apply when decorating work cubicles.
For example, you should always sit facing one of your lucky directions, and never sit facing one of your deadly directions (See www.fengshuibytroy.com to calculate your directions).
Also, in 2005, you absolutely do not want to sit facing west!
This is where the Grand Duke resides, and facing him during 2005 can cause severe financial problems.
Follow the overall directional placement of Feng Shui when placing decorative items on your desk, or on the walls of your cubicle.
Electronic items, like your computer monitor, are best placed in the West or North West.
Candles and items red in color should be kept in the South.
A small moving water feature can be placed in SE, E or North - just don't put it behind you.
The most important thing to remember when decorating work cubicles is to avoid clutter!
In such a small area this can be difficult, but it is still very important.
A cluttered desk makes for a cluttered mind.
As far as decor, keep things around you that are indicative of your business.
General business pictures and decor is appropriate, as well as a few personal family items.
Unless you are a photographer of swimsuit models, avoid racy photographs and things that are not related to work.
Appropriately decorating work cubicles is your best bet to increase your work productivity.

Home Decorating: Where Are My Surfaces?
Home Decorating: Where Are My Surfaces?
by: Keller Hawthorne
Many of you probably remember visiting your grandma's house as a child. I can still see how my grandmother had decorated her home. Every inch of surface and space was filled! The mantle, the kitchen counters, and of course the floor. She was a self-proclaimed pack-rat! When you walk into a home drowning in "stuff", it immediately bombards you and creates overwhelming vibes. So, how do we show every little nick knack we love, without going overboard?
I have a very strict rule with myself that every surface in my home should be clean and almost completely cleared. I enjoy showing off my candles, vases, and other items. However, I have learned when it becomes too much. As a teenager I had covered every inch of my dressers and desk with decorations. My bedroom had become more of a showplace then a home. My decorations were nicely placed as sort of a retail window display, but I could never...

Inexpensive Centerpiece Decorations
Inexpensive Centerpiece Decorations
by: Hana Lee
When planning a wedding, most brides focus first on the church, lining it with flowers and ribbons.

It?s good know that the centerpiece decorations at your reception can not only be inexpensive, but tasteful and original.
Try this idea and score a perfect ten for creativity when planning your centerpiece decorations. Start by buying cute small frames as you see them on sale.

The Meaning of Solstivus: The Traditional Winter Celebration
The Meaning of Solstivus: The Traditional Winter Celebration
by: R. Paul Wilson
Arg shivered as he finished the last of the boiled weasel skin he brought for his lunch.
His daily hunt had taken him to the end of the Tall Deer creek-bed.
No luck, so far, no game at all.
He turned back down the valley, not looking forward to his evening meal of the rotting wolverine meat in the bottom of the cellar.
His wife Erg and the kids would be disappointed to have no new game.
He knew she would probably just sink deeper into her despair.
The snowfalls and increasing darkness each day had left her unable to cope.
She kept the kids in the hut with her under the furs.
She spoke of slow death and hopelessness.
They were all getting thin and weak.
But every day it seemed he still felt a core sense of hope.
He felt optimistic and self-confident.
As he...

Tips For Accessorizing Your Home
Tips For Accessorizing Your Home
by: Sintilia Miecevole
Accessorizing your home is a very important aspect in the decorating process. You can add character and beauty to a home in many ways:
Look at your home and decide what theme you want to accomplish. Is it a contemporary, country, southwest, traditional or ethic style? Look in magazines, books or the internet to find accessories you would like. Have at least one piece you treasure in every room! Purchase accessories that go with the theme and color of your room. Color choices should compliment the main color in the room.
It is recommended to group your accessories in odd numbers. Different heights and textures are also attractive. For example, a night side table can have a lamp, picture frame and small pot of flowers as a grouping.
Entry ways should be uncluttered. This area of the home is the first hint at what the rest of your home is like. A side table with your most dramatic...

Birthday party ideas for the most busy
You come home one fine evening and gosh!! You now remember that its your wife?s birthday. You run back and buy something cheap and celebrate your wife?s birthday as if it?s a duty and not a celebration.
And you know it?s not the way to celebrate the birthday of the most important person in your life.
When you think about your wife?s birthday there are only 3 things I can say.
PLAN. PLAN. PLAN.
As Mr. Jim Rohn says that such a birthday party is not woven well.
