Feng shui? Please. Try feng cliche.

If one more person gives you a shoot of bamboo, they’re going to meet a most unfortunate fate. (Especially since your current stash has brought you nothing but fruit flies.)

Instead of genuflecting in front of the woody tropical grass for luck, maybe it’s time you tried wearing it.

We mean, of course, Marnie Rocks’s Sour Stix. The elegantly simple bamboo bracelets are wrapped halfway around with a vibrantly colored silk ribbon (in hues like yellow, orange, and aqua blue). Wear one when your health needs improving, two whenever you want prosperity, or slip them all on for inner peace and tranquility. A few of the hollow stems on your wrist are a stylish way to keep your inner chi in check.

Because bamboo stuck in stones may wreck havoc on your home.

But Stix will never hurt you.
