Autumn invites us to remember that truth.  There is a time to grow, a time to flourish, and a time to gather the fruits of what we’ve sown.  As the fields turn golden and the air cools, we’re called to pause and ask ourselves:  What am I harvesting from within?

Have you ever noticed how much energy we pour into designing our homes, our careers, our relationships… and yet, how rarely we stop to design our lives?

There are times when life just feels heavy.  When the headlines bring more worry than hope, when personal challenges stack one on top of the other, or when even the smallest tasks feel like uphill climbs.  It can leave us feeling stretched thin.  We’ve all had these feelings.  In those moments, resilience becomes more than a concept; it is the steady ground we return to. 

There’s something magical about the shift into fall.

The light softens, mornings turn crisp, and the trees remind us that letting go can be beautiful. While summer often pulls us outward—into activity, social connection, and expansion—fall is the gentle call inward. It’s a season of reflection and renewal, inviting us to slow down, simplify, and prepare our homes and lives for the months ahead.

When people hear the word Feng Shui, they often dismiss it as mystical or “woo woo”.  But in reality, Feng Shui is an ancient practice that is surprisingly practical, and has been growing in popularity in the West over the last 20 years. 

At Santamita, we believe transformation isn’t just about what you do — it’s about how you live. 

In our first blog, we introduced our philosophy: life design meets lifestyle transformation. In our second blog post, we explored what it means to live in a world where the 100-year life is becoming the norm — and why designing for longevity is about more than just years, it’s about making those years meaningful.

Now, we turn to a piece of the puzzle most people overlook - your home. 

“Children born today are more likely than not to live to 100”.

This isn’t some far-off prediction — it could soon be our reality. Yet, most of our systems, from education to retirement, were built for a time when lives typically lasted only 60–70 years. 

If we’re going to live decades longer, we need to ask ourselves some key questions.

Santamita began with a simple idea: the spaces we live in are a reflection of the lives we lead. 

What started as a small interior design and home décor shop in a coastal town just north of Puerto Vallarta, has grown into a lifestyle brand that blends life design, intentional living, and holistic transformation.
