Hi Everyone!
As we celebrate Father’s Day…here are some Feng Shui Entertaining tips for your Father’s Day get-togethers:
l Any BBQs should feature ingredients from sources that are local or that you know where they came from. Nothing beats fresh fruits/veggies from a local farmer’s market or your own garden! Make sure any meat is free-range and steroid free.
l Colors in your design scheme should come from the FAMILY and CREATIVITY/KIDS area of the Bagua. Family is WOOD related and corresponds with the color GREEN. The CREATIVITY/KIDS area is METAL related and corresponds with the color WHITE/METALLICS. (A problem occurs here as in Feng Shui terms metal chops down wood-so add the WATER element here as a “mitigating element”. Add BLUE/BLACK). So your color scheme is GREEN, WHITE/METALLICS and BLUE/BLACK. Shapes are CIRCLE/metal (plates), RECTANGLE/wood and FREE-FLOWING LINES/water (bunting/blankets).
l To help your event be more GREEN and eco-friendly, get your plates and flatware from CORE (www.coresales.com). Products are bio-degradable and innovative-you can actually EAT the plate when you’re done!
l Need to keep your drinks cold? How about using the e-Cooler (www.e-cooler.com). These are eco-friendly container made from natural and biodegradable resources. Just fill with ice and go!
l Stumped as to what to serve for dessert? Check out this new company called RawCreations, featuring organic raw and vegan desserts. (www.raw-creations.com). Desserts are gluten and wheat free, no processed sugars or added sodium. Menu includes: cookies, cakes, brownies, tarts and macaroons.
