What is great with silk flowers is that they are not needed to be replaced over a span of time.

Cycles
Cycles are important to observe: for example, the moon cycles are often used for planting, cutting hair, or beginning new projects.

ClosetsIf you don't use it, loose it! Keep your closets clean,
neat, and free of unwanted, old, or unused items. Don't
allow your closets to become chaotic or they will spread this quality of feng
shui energy throughout your home.
