How to Stay Lucky on Friday the 13th

Start the Day Off Right...

...by getting out of bed on the LEFT side! Yes, I said left. Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese art of creating harmony in life, links the left side of the bed with family, health, money, and power. Thus providing you with good luck should you exit your bed on that side.

Wear Your Clothes Inside Out...

...or at least one article of clothing inside out. Try your underwear and socks. Please keep in mind that this is only considered lucky if you leave them on inside out until you take them off for the day. A possible origin for this ritual comes from superstition that death and other evil spirits can not find you if your clothing is worn in a different way.

Wear Red...

...In many contries red is considered the luckiest color for days like Friday the 13th. Women: Wear bright red lipstick to prevent evil spirits from entering your body. 

Drink Your Coffee...

...with bubbles. This is especially lucky if you eat any bubbles that appear with your spoon. Whatever you do, do not stir your coffee with a fork!

Carry Your Favorite Lucky Charm...

...in your pocket. 4 leaf clover, horseshoe, lotus flower, wishbone, rabbits foot. One of the luckiest charms to carry is an acorn in your back pocket!

Carry Only 3 Keys...

...on your key chain. Carrying only 3 keys together on your keychain symbolises the unlocking of the doors to health, wealth and love.

Eat Garlic and Noodles and Spring Rolls...

...for lunch today. Egyptians believed that garlic was the luckiest of all herbs.

In China it is said that eating long noodles represent a long life and will bring you good health, but make sure you dont bite that noodle in half or cut it! That is considered bad luck, so slurp, slurp, slurp!

The spring roll is said to bring wealth and prosperity, because the color and shape are reminiscent of gold bars.

Don't Start Anything New...

...today! Whether its a job, relationship, a vacation or plant anything in your garden. Whatever you start on this unlucky day, it is bound to end badly.
