The Pretty Girl Advantage
On January second, 2022, my friends and I stood outside the Versace Mansion on South Beach. I couldn’t figure out why everyone was taking photos in front of the grandeur place. I was unaware that Versace himself died on the exact spot. Or that there’s a whole Netflix documentary about it. I choose to spend my time reading a biography about Gandhi and not watching a documentary about a billionaire.

Tarot vs. Oracle
Tarot is viewed as a relatively "mystical" way of learning about your future... or at least that is how it is portrayed in a lot of media. Tarot is a deck of 78 cards with different meanings. Although many readers let their intuition lead them in understanding the symbolism in the cards more than the outlined descriptions, the general themes do hold strong no matter the deck you purchase or read.

How To Keep Going Through A Crisis
At times of crisis, it doesn’t matter how well regulated your emotions are, what your spiritual practice is, how often you meditate, dissociate from your emotions or think positively. It’s going to feel like life has knocked you onto your arse and is giving you a good kicking. Rest assured, you will find a strength that you didn’t know you had but I’m not going to pretend that it’s going to be easy.

How To Trust The Process When It Feels Like You're Working Hard and Getting Nowhere
Are you a hard worker but getting nowhere? Do you feel like the harder you work, the more things seem to slip through your fingers? Do you sometimes feel as though life is playing some kind of joke on you, and that the cards are stacked against you in every game? Maybe it’s time to start trusting the process. To thrive in any situation and achieve success, we must learn to trust the process. When we trust the process, we see every experience as a stepping stone toward our ultimate goal. We know that everything happens for a reason, and that even if something feels unfair at the time, it’s all part of a bigger plan. Trusting the process means believing that although things may not be going according to plan right now, everything will work out for the best in the long run.

The symbolism of two koi: The stories and thoughts behind our painting《The romantic love》
Koi in the water are not only beautiful, but they are also treasures of feng shui. They blend the aura of heaven and earth and carry the pride of water. The ancients believed that good Feng Shui can store wind, store "Qi"（氣）, and get water. "Qi" is circulating all the time. It is easy to be blown away by the wind and break the balance of the cycle. But it stops when it meets water. Therefore, water can make the circulation of "Qi" smooth, that is, it can keep people's luck. The koi mascot in the water can regulate the flow of "Qi" and maintain the aura between heaven and earth.

Labels, Why You Should Hate them?
Labels, we call them. All of us need to be defined it seems. Health labels, social labels, school labels. We are taught at a very young age that words define us. We are supposed to think that it's okay if people see you a certain way. That it should be acceptable.

Authentic Living:
In this post, I’m going to break down what ‘living authentically’ even means, and how we can move towards this way of living so that we feel we can just be ourselves without having to change who we are to please others or keep parts of ourselves hidden away.
