Feng Shui Secrets for Diet, Fashion, Décor, and Crystals
Get ready to kickstart a vibrant and auspicious journey this Lunar New Year by supercharging your Feng Shui! While many might envision Feng Shui improvements as merely a redecoration project, the possibilities are endless – from tweaking your diet to revamping your wardrobe and harnessing the power of crystals.
And what better person to help you enhance your Feng Shui than celebrity Feng Shui speaker, Master Jacelyn Pang! Hailing from the prestigious Yuan Zhong Siu Feng Shui Consultancy, Asia’s foremost Feng Shui authority established in 1989, she is recognised as the go-to expert for igniting the positive energies of the universe. Master Jacelyn has addressed thousands at conventions and recently hosted a Zodiac Reading livestream on Shopee, providing the best Feng Shui secrets.
Below, Master Jacelyn shares some advice for the upcoming Dragon Lunar New Year and how you can achieve harmony and prosperity by aligning your diet, fashion choices and home décor, while harnessing mystical crystal auras.
Feng Shui for Your Diet
Vanilla Luxury: What dietary choices, based on Feng Shui principles, would you recommend for boosting one’s health and well-being this Dragon Year?
Master Jacelyn: In 2024 we have entered Period 9 which belongs to the Fire element, so anything RED is good. Eating more red tomatoes, red dragon fruit and even chilli padi is good for ushering in more positive energy.
Vanilla Luxury: Are there any specific foods or cooking techniques considered auspicious for this Lunar New Year? How can people incorporate them into their daily dining routines?
Master Jacelyn: When people gather, they generate greater YANG energy collectively (the masculine energy in our environment). Therefore, steamboat arrangements – especially mala-flavoured ones – and stir-fry dishes are recommended as they stimulate more such prosperous Yang frequencies.
To incorporate more fire elemental energy into your daily dining routine, you can stir-fry red bell pepper into your dishes. Cut down on your consumption of ‘colder’ food (for example sushi and salad).
Feng Shui for Fashion
Vanilla Luxury: How should one choose clothing and accessories that align with Feng Shui principles and nudge an influx of positive energy this year?
Master Jacelyn: Turn up your charm when you wear your lucky colours. The colours below are recommended for the different Zodiac signs:
Vanilla Luxury: Are there any specific colours or patterns in fashion that are recommended for the best luck or balance in 2024?
Master Jacelyn: The best colours for 2024 are red, brown and grey, and are universal for every Zodiac sign. These colours can be incorporated in diverse ways – whether big and bold, or small and understated – into your outfit, accessory or even hair colour. In terms of haircut style, we favour the pixie cut for a chic look to elevate your charismatic aura and ring in a fresh start.
Feng Shui for Home Décor
Vanilla Luxury: Can you share some Feng Shui tips for arranging furniture and décor in homes to create harmony and positivity for this year?
Master Jacelyn:
The northwest sector of your living room: Here you can place a green potted plant such as lucky bamboo or jade plant. The two plants are associated with good fortune and prosperity. They are likely to enhance your career achievements in 2024.
Avoid placing artificial flowers and plants in the Southwest corner of your home: This direction signifies your romance and relationships zone for the year, and artificial flowers can attract unwanted love temptations.
There is a shared palette of lucky colours for 2024 that resonate for every Zodiac sign: These are red, brown and grey, so place a doormat in any of these colours outside your front entrance to welcome good fortune into your house.
Vanilla Luxury: Would you recommend any specific symbolic objects or decorations that people should include in their home, to enhance their energy and fortune?
Master Jacelyn: In Period 9 of the Feng Shui cycle, which starts in 2024, the Fire element stands out prominently as the most favourable element. So any motifs that signify Fire and its applications will allude to embracing harmony and luck for the year to come. I also recommend incorporating more triangular-type ornaments (like stars) in your home decor to enhance your energy and fortune.

Feng Shui for Crystals
Vanilla Luxury: Speaking about decorations, do you have any suggestions for ways to incorporate crystals into home décor or personal accessories like bracelets, to maximise luck for this year?
Master Jacelyn: In 2024, the auspicious direction for love and relationships is towards the Southwest. If you want to enhance your love luck, you can place your Rose Quartz or Strawberry Quartz crystals in the Southwest corner of your bedroom.
To maximise serendipity, it is recommended for you to wear your crystal bracelets on the left hand.
Note: Always buy natural crystals from a reputable brand, to ensure they are well looked after, thoughtfully recommended for you, maintained and cleansed, and also to provide you with peace of mind.
Vanilla Luxury: Does it make a difference what colours you choose for your 2024 crystals, and why?
Master Jacelyn: No, all crystals have good benefits and can be worn by anyone. There is no need to pay too much attention to the colours of the crystals. Instead, you should focus on the properties and benefits of the crystals to decide if they are aligned with your ultimate goals.
Vanilla Luxury: What types of crystals do you expect will be most popular in 2024 – and any crystal combinations or pairings that might be most beneficial for harnessing the Dragon Year’s energy?
Master Jacelyn: Crackle Quartz is my recommended crystal of the year. In 2024, the 4 realms flyer star has a negative enhancer to the Tai Yang (Sun) star. This means that many individuals are at risk of slipping into low-frequency energies and will have the tendency to make careless mistakes in their jobs or academic endeavours. Traditionally, the Crackle Quartz crystal has been best known to stimulate the mind, improve focus and assist in removing negative energies from individuals – and hence is your best bet for combating these stressors.
In terms of combinations, Crackle Quartz can be paired with any crystal to amplify the surrounding crystal’s benefits. The quartz will cleanse your chakra and improve your mental agility, and when paired with any crystal, it can further enhance their efficiency – so it really depends on what you would like to manifest.
Many of these options can be explored in our crystals shop on Shopee – here we have an array of bracelets for numerous styles and preferences, plus complements to level up their qualities.
For instance, if you’re seeking greater wealth, then you can pair the Crackle Quartz with Sunstone and Citrine. If you’re looking for romance, you could try experimenting with a Rose Quartz or Strawberry Quartz combination!

Vanilla Luxury: Any advice on cleansing and recharging crystals so they stay most effective throughout the year?
Master Jacelyn: Crystals DO absorb the energies around you, so if you have been to a wake or hospital, you can consider cleansing or purifying them. Recharging of crystals is optional, and you can do it every fortnight if you please.
There are various options for cleansing your crystals:
You could place the crystal item on a clean plate or bowl, and place it near a window area where the item can get sunlight, for 24 hours. This is to let them absorb the energy of the universe and can cleanse the items of any negative vibrations.
Alternatively, you can consider using a wealth-enhancing purifying water from Yuan Zhong Siu – simply spray it on your crystals, and wipe them dry with a clean cloth to recharge. As easy as that!
One other way is to place your crystal into a Crystal Purifying Bowl – you can learn more about how it works here.
Feng Shui for the Dragon Zodiac
Vanilla Luxury: Finally, do you have particular 2024 Feng Shui advice for those born under the Dragon Zodiac?
Master Jacelyn:
Work-wise – This is the year that favours those fiery at heart! Elevate your grit and resilience to tide through the year.
Moneywise – Reduce unnecessary expenses, curb impulse spending and look out for unexpected increases in expenditures (for your household).
In general, we recommend doing more charity work and even considering blood donations to enhance your karma points.
If you’re looking for auspicious crystals; note that the Dragon Zodiac sign is offending and conflicting with the Tai Sui in 2024. Obstacles may be unavoidable. Yellow Tiger’s Eye, Clear Quartz, Aquamarine and Green Peridot are crystals we recommend and provide on Shopee to safeguard your health, remove negative energies, improve your interpersonal relationships with others and draw more happiness into your life.
