As I delve deeper into the world of Feng Shui, I learn more about the energy we bring into our interiors. On the one hand, we've got sheng chi: positive energy that brings prosperity. On the other, we've got shar chi: negative energy that depletes us. Poison arrows are Feng Shui design mistakes that bring shar chi into our most sacred spaces. A poison arrow could look like anything from a narrow entryway to a sharp angle.

As the resident Sleep Editor at Homes & Gardens, I'm often asked: 'do you really need a top sheet?' I can understand your hesitation.

As the resident Sleep Editor at Homes & Gardens, I lead a team of testers to find the top mattresses available on the market.
