Midnight Windows for Lunar Luck: A Feng Shui Ritual to Start the Year

The Homes & Gardens piece explains a Lunar New Year tradition of opening at least one window and the front door at midnight to release stagnant energy and invite auspicious qi, a Feng Shui practice believed to bring health, wealth and harmony in the Year of the Fire Horse (2026). Experts advise preparing the space by cleaning entryways, turning on lights, and creating a gentle cross‑breeze by opening a window opposite the door for a brief period (about 1–3 minutes in winter, up to 5–10 minutes in milder weather). The piece also notes the psychological benefit of rituals for a fresh start and sense of control, plus practical cautions about security and décor or “lucky” buys to celebrate the occasion.

Maximizing Food Consumption Through Fridge Feng Shui

Behavioral scientist Jiaying Zhao suggests "feng shui-ing" your fridge to reduce food waste. By rearranging your food so that the most perishable items are most visible, you are more likely to remember to eat them before they spoil. Zhao recommends putting perishables in the doors and durable items in the drawers, using the "first in, first out" principle to prioritize older items. This small change in refrigerator organization can have a significant impact on reducing food waste, which contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and is costly for households.
