How Couples Can Use Feng Shui to Improve Their Relationship and the Energy of Their Home

How Couples Can Use Feng Shui to Improve Their Relationship and the Energy of Their Home

You’ve rearranged the couch a dozen times, bought the fancy scented candles, and even have matching throw pillows—yet something still feels “off” in your home. Maybe it’s not about what you have, but how it’s arranged.

Enter Feng Shui: the ancient Chinese art of energy flow that can do more than just spruce up your space—it can also breathe fresh life into your relationship. Whether you’re in a brand-new love nest or have been sharing a home (and toothpaste) for years, Feng Shui can help you create a space that supports harmony, connection, and just the right amount of sexy vibes.

Here’s how couples can use Feng Shui to improve their relationship and the overall energy of their home—without needing a degree in interior design or a truckload of crystals (though those can be fun too).


1. Clear the Clutter = Clear the Conflict

We know. Nobody likes to be told to clean up. But in Feng Shui, clutter equals blocked energy, and that stuck energy can create tension, misunderstandings, and general "Why am I so grumpy?" feelings.

Start with the bedroom (because that’s where the magic happens, right?).

  • Clear out under the bed—yes, even the suitcase from 2019.

  • Remove things that don’t serve your relationship (we’re looking at you, ex memorabilia).

  • Keep only what feels calming, romantic, and relevant to you two.

🧹 Feng Shui mantra: Less mess = less stress = more loving energy.


2. Balance the Bedroom

Your bedroom should be your love sanctuary, not an extension of your office or gym. Feng Shui promotes balance and symmetry—think “couple energy” in everything.

✨ Try this:

  • Use matching nightstands and lamps on each side of the bed to represent equality and balance.

  • Place your bed in the “command position”—facing the door but not directly in line with it.

  • Avoid mirrors facing the bed (unless you're into that, no judgment—but Feng Shui says it can invite a third party... ghosting the romance, literally).

And no TVs, please. Netflix and chill? Great. But actual sleep and connection? Better.


3. Use the Power of the “Relationship Corner”

In Feng Shui, each space has energy zones based on the Bagua Map. The back right corner of your home (from the front entrance) is your Relationship Corner.

💞 Boost the love vibes with:

  • Pairs of objects (candles, figurines, artwork of couples)

  • Pink, red, or white décor (romantic, passionate, and pure love energy)

  • A symbolic item that represents your relationship—like a framed photo or love note

Keep this space tidy, intentional, and sacred to your relationship. No dirty laundry piles here, folks.


4. Don’t Sleep With Your Work (Literally)

Feng Shui teaches that energy lingers, so having your laptop, work papers, or home office in your bedroom brings “productive” or “stressful” energy into a space meant for relaxation and intimacy.

If you have to work from your bedroom, create a separate zone with a visual divider or cover your workspace at night.

💻 Think of it like this: Your bedroom should whisper sweet nothings, not scream “Q3 earnings report.”


5. Let the Chi Flow Freely

Chi (energy) should move easily through your home—just like good communication in your relationship.

Check for blocked areas:

  • Can you walk through your space without bumping into furniture?

  • Are doorways, hallways, and windows clear and open?

  • Is the air fresh and the lighting soft and warm?

🌀 Use open space and natural light to invite calm, loving vibes into your home—and your relationship.


6. Decorate With Intention

Your home should reflect who you are as a couple, not just one person’s taste or old hand-me-downs from college. Choose décor, art, and colors that feel mutual, supportive, and inspiring.

💡 Some Feng Shui favorites for couples:

  • Art that shows love, partnership, or nature

  • Soft, cozy textiles and gentle lighting

  • A couple’s vision board or shared goals displayed intentionally

It’s not about making it Instagram-perfect. It’s about creating a soulful, shared space that supports your journey together.


7. Embrace Elemental Balance

Feng Shui is built on five elements—wood, fire, earth, metal, and water—and too much (or too little) of one can throw your energy off.

🌿 Balance ideas:

  • Add wood with plants or wooden frames for growth

  • Use fire (candles, red tones) for passion

  • Incorporate earth (clay pots, stones) for grounding

  • Include metal (sculptures, mirrors) for clarity

  • Use water (fountains, artwork with water) for emotional flow

Don’t overdo it—this isn’t a game of Pokémon. You just need a little of each to harmonize your home and heart.


Feng Shui is a Love Language

At the end of the day, Feng Shui isn’t just about moving furniture or picking the right paint color—it’s about intentionally designing a space that nurtures your connection.

It’s about making your home a reflection of your partnership: supportive, balanced, open, and filled with love.

So light that candle, fluff those pillows, and let your space support your story. Your relationship deserves good chi—and maybe a little romance along the way. 🛏️💞

Relationship Tips for Couples Who Work Together (Without Driving Each Other Crazy)

 

Working Together Couple

Relationship Tips for Couples Who Work Together (Without Driving Each Other Crazy)

They say don’t mix business with pleasure—but clearly, “they” have never worked with their significant other and actually enjoyed it. Whether you’re running a business together, working on a creative project, or just sharing the same remote work space, working with your partner can be a beautiful blend of teamwork, trust, and togetherness—or a recipe for disaster if you’re not careful.

Luckily, with a little awareness and a lot of humor, you can thrive both professionally and personally without losing your minds (or throwing office supplies at each other).

Let’s dive into some real-life relationship tips for couples who work together—and still want to cuddle at the end of the day.


1. Define Your Roles (And Respect Them)

In a healthy work relationship, just like in a romantic one, clarity is kindness. Make sure each of you knows what your role is in the business or project, and avoid stepping on each other's toes—unless it’s a playful toe-tap under the desk.

Think of it like dancing: one of you leads, the other follows—unless you’re both doing interpretive jazz hands, in which case, good luck.

🗂️ Pro tip: Write down who’s in charge of what and check in every so often to make sure it still feels fair.


2. Communication is Everything (But Not Every Minute)

Working together doesn’t mean talking 24/7. In fact, over-communicating can be just as stressful as not saying enough.

Set clear times to talk business and clear times to switch it off. Not every dinner should turn into a board meeting, and not every board meeting should turn into a debate about who left socks in the laundry.

🗣️ Pro tip: Use a shared digital calendar or app to track tasks and limit constant check-ins. Love doesn’t require micromanagement.


3. Keep the Romance Alive (No, Really)

When you're working together, it's easy for your partner to start feeling more like a coworker than a soulmate. But don’t forget: this is the person you also binge-watch Netflix with, dream with, and kiss goodnight.

Make time for non-work-related affection. Surprise each other with coffee. Slip a little love note on their laptop. Compliment their work and their butt.

💘 Pro tip: Create “no work talk” zones like your bedroom, the car, or date night dinner. Boundaries are sexy.


4. Respect Alone Time (Even If You’re in the Same Room)

Just because you’re together doesn’t mean you need to be together all day, every day. Sometimes you need to put in headphones, close your laptop, or simply take a walk solo to keep your sanity intact.

And if one of you is an early bird and the other’s a night owl? Celebrate your opposite schedules—it’s built-in personal time!

🧘 Pro tip: Schedule solo time during the week. It keeps the relationship fresh and helps you recharge your individual batteries.


5. Don’t Compete—Collaborate

You’re a team, not rival startups. Celebrate each other’s wins instead of turning everything into a quiet (or not-so-quiet) contest.

If one of you excels at something, lean into it and cheer them on. And if the other needs support, offer help—not criticism or unsolicited advice (unless it’s about better snacks in the breakroom).

🤝 Pro tip: Say things like “How can I support you on this?” instead of “You should’ve done it this way.”


6. Laugh—A Lot

Things will go wrong. Emails will be missed. Zoom meetings will freeze on unflattering facial expressions.

The secret weapon for couples who work together? A sense of humor. Laugh at the chaos, embrace the imperfections, and don’t take yourselves too seriously.

😂 Pro tip: Have a “panic dance” or silly phrase you use when things get stressful. Bonus points if it involves jazz hands.


7. Know When to Clock Out

Just because you can work all day and night doesn’t mean you should. Set office hours and stick to them. Clocking out means your relationship gets the spotlight, not the to-do list.

📅 Pro tip: Create an end-of-day ritual—like a walk, a toast, or turning off notifications—to signal, “we're done working, time to be us again.”


Build the Dream, But Protect the Team

Working with your partner can be deeply fulfilling—it allows you to grow together, dream together, and build something truly special. But it takes intention, balance, and a whole lot of communication (and coffee).

So if you’re sharing a business and a bed, give yourselves some grace. Celebrate the wins. Learn from the bumps. And above all, remember why you chose each other in the first place.

Now go be the power couple you were always meant to be—and don’t forget to high-five in the hallway like the legends you are. 💼💑

Great Places Couples Shouldn’t Miss on a Trip to New Orleans

 

Book Cover

Great Places Couples Shouldn’t Miss
on a Trip to New Orleans

New Orleans isn’t just beads and Bourbon Street (though we’re not knocking that). This soulful city is oozing with romance, charm, and just the right amount of mystery to make it the perfect couple’s getaway. Whether you're strolling hand-in-hand through the French Quarter, sharing beignets under moss-draped oaks, or dancing to live jazz in a candlelit club, New Orleans is built for love—in all its flavorful, musical, and slightly haunted glory.

So if you’re planning a romantic adventure, here are some can’t-miss spots in New Orleans for couples that go beyond the usual tourist traps.

Jackson Square – Where Romance Meets Royalty

Start your trip with a classic: Jackson Square. This historic park in the heart of the French Quarter is perfect for slow walks, sweet conversations, and people-watching while local artists paint and street musicians serenade the square.

Snap a photo in front of St. Louis Cathedral, have your tarot cards read by a fortune-teller, or just sit on a bench and soak in the vibe. It’s a magical place where love feels like it's been marinating for centuries.

Frenchmen Street – Music, Mood, and Moves

Forget the chaos of Bourbon Street (unless that’s your thing—no judgment!). Frenchmen Street is where the real music lives.

Cozy up in intimate jazz clubs like The Spotted Cat or d.b.a., grab drinks from funky bars, and dance like nobody’s watching—even if everyone is. There’s something effortlessly romantic about moving together to live music in a dimly lit bar surrounded by locals.

Cafe du Monde – Sweetness, Powdered Sugar, and Love

Yes, it’s iconic. Yes, it’s touristy. But YES, it’s still worth it. Cafe du Monde is a New Orleans rite of passage, and nothing says “romantic morning date” like sharing a plate of warm, powdery beignets and sipping chicory coffee while people pass by the open-air café.

And if you don't get powdered sugar on your partner while laughing and eating? Are you even trying?

A Carriage Ride Through the French Quarter

You can walk the French Quarter, sure. But if you want to turn up the romance, hop on a horse-drawn carriage and let someone else do the guiding while you snuggle up and learn a bit of NOLA’s spooky, steamy, and downright wild history.

It’s classic, a little cheesy (in the best way), and undeniably romantic as you ride through the cobblestone streets and gaslit alleys. Bonus points if it’s after dark.

The Garden District – Southern Charm with a Side of Swoon

Trade the wild energy of downtown for the elegant calm of the Garden District. Tree-lined streets, historic mansions, and charming architecture make this one of the most romantic spots in the city.

Take a leisurely walk, explore Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 (surprisingly atmospheric and cool), and dream about buying a Victorian house together—preferably one with a porch swing and a ghost in the attic.

Steamboat Natchez – Love on the Mississippi

Ready for some Southern Titanic vibes (without the sinking)? Board the Steamboat Natchez for a romantic cruise down the Mississippi River.

Enjoy jazz music, dinner, and scenic views of the city from the water. Whether you opt for a day cruise or an evening under the stars, it’s the kind of experience you’ll talk about long after the trip is over.

Royal Street – A Quieter Kind of Magic

Just a block over from Bourbon, Royal Street is like Bourbon’s classy older sibling. It’s filled with beautiful balconies, antique shops, street performers, and galleries that make it the perfect spot for a romantic stroll.

You might even catch a surprise street concert or two—bonus if it ends with a spontaneous slow dance in the street. (Yes, it’s cheesy. Yes, you should do it anyway.)

Crescent Park – Sunset Strolls with a View

Tucked away from the bustle of the city, Crescent Park gives you a stunning view of the river and skyline. It’s perfect for a peaceful escape with your love, especially around sunset.

Bring a blanket, a bottle of wine, and just enjoy the beauty of being together somewhere magical.

Commander’s Palace – Dress Up and Dine Out

For the ultimate romantic dinner, Commander’s Palace is the place. Located in the Garden District, this legendary restaurant offers incredible Creole cuisine, top-tier service, and that feeling of dressing up for a date night that actually means something.

Make a reservation, say “cheers,” and treat yourselves. You’re in New Orleans, after all.

Let the City Woo You Both

New Orleans is spicy, soulful, mysterious, and full of surprises—kind of like the best relationships. Whether you're clinking glasses in a jazz club, wandering down cobblestone streets, or sharing powdered-sugar kisses at Café du Monde, there's no doubt this city will charm the both of you.

So pack your bags, hold hands often, and let New Orleans do what it does best: sweep you off your feet.

How Couples Can Use Their Echo Dot to Improve Their Relationship (Yes, Alexa Can Be Your Wingwoman)

Echo Dot and Your Relationship

How Couples Can Use Their Echo Dot to Improve Their Relationship (Yes, Alexa Can Be Your Wingwoman)

Who knew that the little hockey puck on your nightstand could do more than just tell you the weather or play whale sounds at bedtime? That’s right—we’re talking about your Echo Dot, also known as Alexa, also known as the third wheel you didn’t know your relationship needed.

But instead of seeing her as just a helpful AI with a soothing voice, why not make her your relationship sidekick? From romantic playlists to dinner date reminders, Alexa is ready to serve up more love, less stress, and way more fun in your daily couple life.

Let’s break down how your Echo Dot can go from digital assistant to romance-enhancing MVP.

1. Schedule Sexy Time (Yes, Really)

Life gets busy. Between work, kids, dishes, and trying to remember where you put your actual socks, romance can fall off the to-do list. That’s where Alexa steps in like a digital Cupid with a calendar.

🗓️ “Alexa, remind us to have a date night Friday at 7 PM.
🛏️ “Alexa, schedule private time after the kids’ bedtime.” (wink wink)

She doesn’t judge. She just makes sure your “together time” happens. And hey, there’s nothing sexier than mutual calendar consent.

2. Set the Mood Like a Pro

Gone are the days of fumbling through playlists trying to find the perfect mood music. Alexa’s already ahead of you.

💡 “Alexa, dim the lights.
🎵 “Alexa, play romantic jazz.
🕯️ “Alexa, start the ‘Love Vibes’ routine.

Yes, you can actually create a routine called “Love Vibes.” It can adjust the lighting, play your favorite couple song, and even warm up your smart thermostat (because who wants chilly toes during a cuddle session?).

3. Cook Together Without the Chaos

Want to impress your partner with your cooking skills or try a new dish together? Let Alexa take the pressure off.

🧑‍🍳 “Alexa, find a recipe for chicken marsala.
🕐 “Alexa, set a 12-minute timer for the pasta.
🎶 “Alexa, play our cooking playlist.

Cooking together becomes less of a “who burned the garlic” argument and more of a flirty team-building activity. Bonus points if you end up dancing in the kitchen with flour on your faces.

4. Play Games & Quizzes Together

Echo Dots are loaded with fun, couple-friendly games that can help you learn more about each other, get a little silly, and spark great conversations.

🎲 “Alexa, open Couple’s Quiz.
💞 “Alexa, start Love Language Game.
🤣 “Alexa, play Truth or Dare.

It’s like date night, but without having to leave your couch or put on real pants.

5. Stay in Sync with Shared Lists

Alexa helps eliminate the age-old couples' feud: “Who was supposed to buy the toilet paper?”

📝 “Alexa, add chocolate and wine to our grocery list.
🧹 “Alexa, remind us to clean the guest room Sunday.

Shared lists, reminders, and calendar events make it easier to stay organized—and less likely to passive-aggressively remind each other of forgotten chores. Peace restored.

6. Wake Up and Wind Down, Together

Sync your schedules and routines to make mornings smoother and evenings more intentional.

☀️ “Alexa, wake us up with soft music and the weather.
🌙 “Alexa, play bedtime meditation.
🧘 “Alexa, start the evening wind-down routine.

It’s like having a personal assistant, spiritual coach, and romantic timekeeper all rolled into one.

7. Celebrate the Small Stuff

Alexa doesn’t just do the heavy lifting—she can help you celebrate the little moments that matter, too.

🎉 “Alexa, remind us of our monthly anniversary.
📅 “Alexa, what's a fun idea for date night tonight?
💌 “Alexa, tell us a love quote.

Use her to mark the milestones, remember the magic, and keep the good vibes going—because sometimes you do need a robot to say, “Don’t forget it’s the day you had your first pizza together.”

Final Thoughts: Alexa, the Unexpected Relationship Coach

Is Alexa going to replace therapy, candlelit dinners, or deep emotional conversations? No. But she can absolutely enhance your relationship, reduce friction, and add some spontaneous fun into your everyday life.

From managing chaos to setting the mood, your Echo Dot is the modern couple’s unsung hero. So next time you glance over at that little glowing orb, don’t just think “weather and reminders.” Think love, laughter, and playlists that make you kiss in the kitchen.

💬 Go ahead, say it with us:
“Alexa, help us fall in love—again.” 💕

The Value of a Hammock: Why Swinging in Fabric is Basically Therapy

 

Hammock Life

The Value of a Hammock:

Why Swinging in Fabric is Basically Therapy

Let’s talk about one of life’s greatest inventions—right up there with indoor plumbing, coffee, and sweatpants: the hammock. Yes, the humble, swinging fabric cocoon that has cradled humans in naps, daydreams, and deep philosophical thoughts like “Should I even go back to work today?”

Whether you're flying solo or cozied up with your partner, the hammock is less of a piece of furniture and more of a lifestyle choice. One that says, “Yes, I could be productive right now, but I’ve chosen peace.”

For Individuals: The Hammock is a Solo Sanctuary

You haven’t truly relaxed until you’ve flopped into a hammock with a good book, a cold drink, and absolutely zero plans. The solo hammock experience is like being hugged by the universe while gravity takes a coffee break.

There’s a reason people feel enlightened after spending time in a hammock. It rocks you like a baby, whispers “don’t worry about that email” in your ear, and gives you permission to unapologetically do nothing.

And yes, sometimes you’ll fall asleep mid-thought and wake up drooling—but that’s just part of the magic. That’s your brain rebooting. That’s self-care, baby.

Also, no judgment if you spend your solo hammock time pretending you’re on a tropical beach when you're actually in your backyard sandwiched between the neighbor's fence and the compost bin. That’s called imagination, and hammocks support that too.

For Couples: The Hammock is a Love Swing (Not That Kind… But Also, Maybe)

Now, enter the couples’ hammock—a test of love, balance, and mutual trust. Because let’s face it, it’s not easy to gracefully get two people into a hammock without it flipping like a pancake and launching you into the shrubbery.

But once you're both in, and nobody's been ejected? Pure. Cozy. Bliss.

There’s something intimate about lying in a hammock with your partner. You're squished together in the most loving way possible—like a burrito of love and questionable leg placement. Conversations get deeper. Laughter gets louder. Suddenly, you’re reminiscing about your first date, sharing snacks, and planning your next vacation all while swaying like two perfectly content sea otters.

It's also a prime spot for sneak-attack kisses, whispered jokes, and the occasional synchronized nap. And let’s be honest: cuddling in a hammock makes you feel like the stars themselves scheduled a private snuggle session just for the two of you.

Is it practical? Not always. Will one of you end up with a leg cramp and the other one sliding slowly toward the edge? Absolutely. But is it worth it? Without question.

The Hammock Lifestyle

Owning a hammock says something bold about you. It says, “I could sit in a chair, but why would I do that when I can lounge like a vacationing lizard?”

It’s not just a fabric sling between two trees—it's a vibe, a mood, a romantic comedy waiting to happen.

It turns any backyard, porch, or random patch of grass into a retreat. It lowers blood pressure, sparks conversations, inspires naps, and sometimes, if you’re lucky, it swings you right into the next chapter of your love story (or your latest Netflix binge).

Final Thoughts from the Fabric Throne

Whether you’re in it alone, solving life’s biggest mysteries (like “where did that other flip-flop go?”), or tangled up with your favorite person watching clouds morph into dragons, the value of a hammock can’t be overstated.

It’s peace in a pouch.
It’s intimacy on a swing.
It’s the one piece of furniture that doesn’t judge you for napping at 2 PM on a Wednesday.

So go ahead, hang that hammock. Climb in awkwardly. Stay longer than you planned. Let life sway for a while.

Because sometimes, the best thing you can do for yourself—or your relationship—is absolutely nothing… but do it from a hammock. 💤💕

All Sex Can’t Be Great Sex (And That’s Okay!)

Laughing Couple

All Sex Can’t Be Great Sex

(And That’s Okay!)

Let’s be real: not every roll in the hay is going to knock your socks off, make the Earth move, or cause you to see stars like a cartoon character who just got hit in the head with an anvil. Despite what movies, romance novels, and late-night talk shows might suggest, all sex can’t be great sex—and that’s not just normal, it’s perfectly fine.

In fact, accepting that some intimate moments will be more “meh” than “mind-blowing” might just be the key to a healthier, more realistic, and more fun sex life. So let’s dive in—laughs included.

Not Every Moment is a Cinematic Love Scene

Let’s start with the myth that every sexual encounter should look like it belongs in a slow-motion movie montage set to sultry saxophone music.

In real life? The dog is barking, someone’s phone is buzzing, and there’s a 93% chance one of you is worried about whether the laundry in the dryer is wrinkling beyond repair.

Truth Bomb:

Sometimes sex is intense and passionate. Other times, it’s sleepy, silly, or just a solid "we-checked-it-off-the-list" experience—and that’s completely okay.

“Oops Moments” Happen

Raise your hand if you’ve ever:

  • Caught a leg cramp mid-thrust
  • Fallen off the bed
  • Laughed at an awkward sound that may or may not have been the bed frame
  • Gotten interrupted by a pet or child at the worst possible moment

Exactly. Welcome to the “Not All Sex Is Great” Club. We’ve got T-shirts and snacks. (And probably an emergency bottle of lube.)

The point is, sex can be clumsy, funny, and downright weird sometimes. Laughing through it with your partner builds intimacy, even if it doesn’t build toward an award-winning climax.

Your Body (And Mind) Aren’t Always in Sync

There will be times your body says, “Let’s do this,” but your mind says, “I just ate three tacos and need a nap.”

There will also be times your mind is feeling flirty, but your body is like, “Ma’am, this is a Wendy’s.”

Hormones, stress, sleep, food, emotions, and, yes, tacos, all play a role in how good sex feels. And when everything doesalign? That’s great! But when it doesn’t? Don’t panic—it’s just part of the ride.

The “Meh” Moments Make the Magical Ones Shine

If every time you had sex it was mind-blowing, toe-curling, angels-singing-from-the-sky amazing… you wouldn’t even notice anymore.

It’s the contrast—the okay experiences, the awkward attempts, the times you both giggle and say “Well, that was something…”—that make the truly magical, soul-igniting, scream-into-the-pillow moments so memorable.

Think of it like pizza:

Even when it’s not great, it’s still pizza. 🍕

Let Go of the Pressure (Seriously)

Nothing kills the mood faster than the internal monologue of doom:

  • “Am I doing this right?”
  • “Why isn’t this better?”
  • “Shouldn’t we be having more fireworks?”
  • “Did I leave the oven on?”

Let go of the pressure for every intimate moment to be performance-level amazing. Some nights will be about connection, not perfection. And some nights will end with cuddles, not orgasms. Still a win.

Connection is the Real Star of the Show

You know what’s sexier than the perfect lighting and a 5-star performance? Being with someone who makes you feel safe, seen, and okay with the imperfect moments.

Great sex isn’t just about bodies—it’s about trust, laughter, exploration, and sometimes just holding each other after a long, exhausting day.

Embrace the Awkward, Celebrate the Awesome

Yes, you’ll have those wild, passionate nights where everything goes right and you high-five afterward like teammates who just won the championship. But you’ll also have quiet, cozy nights where the passion is replaced with connection—and others where you both say, “Let’s just try again tomorrow.”

That’s love. That’s real. That’s sexy in its own way.

So here’s to the okay sex, the strange sex, the hilarious sex, and the absolutely epic sex. They all matter. They all count. And most importantly, they all help build a relationship where intimacy is based on love, not just performance.

🔥 Now go forth, and enjoy the awkward beauty of real-life intimacy. 🔥
