Your Work Desk Needs These Feng Shui and Aromatherapy Ideas Jan 30, 2023

Show notes

If you’re someone who spends a lot of time at your work desk, it makes sense that you would want your desk to be set up in the most supportive, creative, and prosperous way.

Of course, you want to consider the ergonomics of your desk so you can feel comfortable and keep your neck, back, and wrist pain at bay while working.

But this conversation is not about the ergonomics of your desk – it’s about the energy of your desk and workspace. Specifically, energy that’s created by employing feng shui and aromatherapy.

First, I talk with feng shui expert Amanda Gibby Peters about using feng shui when setting up your work desk.

Then, I talk with aromatherapist Amy Galper about how to use therapeutic essential oils at our desk.

At the end of this episode, you’ll have some concrete ideas to try when setting up your desk so you can create the most positive, supportive, and dare I say lovely energy while working.

Being Home With the Head of Editorial & Creative at Google Shopping (Aya Kanai) Jan 23, 2023

Show notes

Today on the show we have Aya Kanai, Head of Editorial and Creative for Google Shopping.

Did you know that people shop with Google more than 1 billion times per day?

This is one of the many reasons why I was thrilled to talk with Aya (formerly an editor/director in fashion and beauty) because she has an inside look at shopping trends and habits for 2023 in the home decor and design space, and beyond. It’s interesting to hear what people are searching for right now – and what’s important to them when deciding where they want to put their money (especially for Gen Z and Gen Alpha).

In this conversation, Aya offers insight on the Google shopping experience, including Google’s tools and filters such as 3D imagery and AR. Doesn’t the idea of taking 3D imagery of furniture and putting it in your space to see how it looks in your home or backyard before you buy sound so helpful?

Aya shares some personal thoughts on her own home, including her decor style; what she can’t live without and what brings her great joy when she’s at home; and what she loves most about New York City.

Aya and I agree that how we shop for ourselves – what we choose to put in our homes or on our bodies – is not just about buying things to amass stuff; it’s about purchasing products that help express who we are in the world. Every shopping decision we make is an opportunity to create, support, and tell our personal stories.

Show notes

Today on the Being Home With Hunker podcast we have Teri Fisher, a co-founder of Spoon Fork Bacon.

If you’re into recipes and cooking and food inspo, chances are you’re familiar with Spoon Fork Bacon. It’s a site created by Teri and Jenny Park, offering easy recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner … and beyond.

In this podcast conversation, food is a main topic. Teri shares the recipes that their audience have loved the most, she also shares the recipes that people are usually searching for every January, and the ingredients that she thinks will be trending in 2023.

We also talk about how we can set up a kitchen to make it feel more efficient – and Teri has a lot of opinions on this, thankfully!

She also shares her must-have kitchen tools, the best pans to have, and her favorite kitchen appliance staples.

Oh, and you won’t want to miss her go-to recipe at home. I suspect you might try making it this week.

Being Home With The AstroTwins and 2023 Astrology (Ophira Edut) Jan 09, 2023

Show notes

Today on the Being Home With Hunker podcast we have Ophira Edut, one half of the AstroTwins.

As they say, their mission is to keep “bringing the stars down to earth,” interpreting ancient wisdom with a practical twist.

In this conversation we talk about how this new year is a year of restructuring – and she explains the two big astrological events that are happening in the first quarter of the year.

She shares how the Law of Attraction is making a comeback this year – where the thoughts that we have will show up quickly and will materialize in the physical universe. So, do your vision boards everyone!

We discuss the Day of the Miracles – which day in 2023 has the overall energy of hope. Probably a good day to mark your calendar if you’re thinking of launching something new.

Also, on the home front, you’re thinking about moving, or want to sell your home, Ophi divulges the months when not to do it this year. She also talks about the best months for organizing your finances and getting any home repairs done.

And we talk Feng Shui Astrology: How we can work with the element that’s specific to our birth year to help support us in our homes – and how each element has its own style.
