Secrets to harmonize your home

Brittney MacDonald
Life & Style Editor

Are you feeling stressed,
anxious, or unhappy? Well,
put down the valium and start
thinking about a more natural
path of aligning your energies
with the universe around you.
Hailing from the spiritual
epicentre of ancient China,
feng shui seeks to harmonize
you with your living or working
space. It’s simply a matter of
redecoration and you could find
your house radiating a calm
and peaceful aura that will help
erase those frazzled nerves.

The secret behind feng
shui is the idea that what you
surround yourself with affects
your spiritual being and mood,
therefore, if there’s chaos in
your home—dust, dirty laundry,
things out of place—that
external chaos will be reflected
back on your internal being,
making you anxious or unhappy.
But it’s not enough to keep your
home in tip-top shape. In order
to get the full experience you
need to forget all you know about
home décor, and start aligning
your furniture in a way that
will allow the energy of your
house to flow in the right way.

Hot dog varieties

Where to get your dog around the Lower Mainland

The hot dog is one of
everyone's favourite foods. It is
juicy and moist and you can find
it in your local supermarket and
in stadiums and arenas in the
Lower Mainland. But what is
the best hot dog? I went around
the Lower Mainland to find out
which hot dogs are juicy and
have a lot of flavour. For this
experiment, the store bought
hot dogs are put in Wonder
Hot Dog Buns and all of them
have ketchup on top of them.

Schneider’s Wieners: The
local Canadian company’s hot
dogs are high quality and locally
made. They have a chicken
taste and they are very moist.
Although they are not very juicy,
the ketchup puts more flavour
in it. It is very chewy and the
hot dog bun makes it chewier.

If you like a moist hot dog that
does not have a lot of flavour,
this is the hot dog to get.

Maple Leaf Wieners: These
hot dogs are very delicious. The
product looks like what a hot
dog should be. It has a lot of
flavour because it is very juicy
and it is soft, and the hot dog

To do this you can start
with a few simple rules.

Any workspace must be
either facing or in sight of a
door. This creates a position
of power that will help you be
more productive. So whether
you are cutting coupons or
prepping dinner, keep a door
in sight to ensure speed and
success. Let’s face it though, you
probably won't be able to see
a door if you're at the stove or
reprimanding your children—
that’s why you need mirrors! As
long as a door is visible, you won't
lose your position of power, so
the reflective surface of a mirror

fits well in the hot dog bun.
These hot dogs taste very great
and you will eat a lot of them.
Fletcher’s Wieners: This
company not only makes bacon,
but also hot dogs! These hot dogs
are very big and they are the
size of a sausage. It has a hickory
smoke taste which means that it
tastes like it was barbequed. You
may have to open your mouth
very wide to eat this hot dog.
Capilano Stadium
Concession Stand Hot Dog: This
hot dog is one of the best hot
dogs in the Lower Mainland.
The juicy taste of it is very rich,
and you can watch it rolling in

home is inviting, because
nothing is better than nature.
To harmonize your marriage,
make sure everything in the
bedroom is symmetrical—
anything less reflects that
there is an emotional void or
disconnect between you and
your husband. If you have
architectural issues that prevent
your bedroom from being
perfectly symmetrical, such
as windows, closets, or other
features; try to duplicate them
with mirrors or wardrobes.
Doing so will create a spiritual
equality between you and that
special man in your life.

never outside your line of sight.
Installing mirrored accent walls
will not only make your home
look modern and chic, but it will
also be great for your feng shui.
Too much modernism will
off set your energy, so be sure
that no room in your house
is without at least a touch of
warmth. Whites and metallics
give off a cold energy that
could dampen your mood, so
accent them with warm hues
like yellow, orange, red, and
brown. Alternatively, using
only earth-tones in your décor
palette will ensure that your
