With St. Patrick’s Day upon us, are you thinking about how you can bring a little extra luck into your life? Check out these 10 things rumored to bring good fortune to your home:
- Painted front door – The front door is considered the mouth of universal energy in feng shui and is believed to determine the energy in your home. While feng shui has many beliefs about the entryway to your home, one of the most common practices is painting your door based on the direction it faces.
- Fruit – Have you ever wondered why so many people have a bowl of lemons in their home? A bowl of citrus fruit is said to attract prosperity and positive energy into your home.

- Crickets – Ever had a pesky cricket keeping you up at night? That might be a better omen than you think. Finding a cricket in your home is believed to be a sign of good luck to come.
- Horseshoes – Some say that horseshoes bring good fortune to your home.

Either way, a horseshoe might be just what you’re looking for.
