Here are a few reasons to have a pre-Valentine\u2019s declutter.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Get rid of embarassing CDs &amp; DVDs<\/h4>\n<p>We\u2019ve all got them: the CDs &amp; DVDs we loved when we were a bit younger but wouldn\u2019t dare tell our friends we enjoyed. They could be the difference between lifelong love and a disaster date, so make sure you a) hide them or b) <a href=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/start-selling\/basket-media\/\">get rid of them for good with musicMagpie<\/a>. Don\u2019t worry, we won\u2019t tell anyone you had them&#8230;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Clear space for impromptu displays of love<\/h4>\n<p>Romance can strike at any time, so you\u2019ll want to make sure you have space for impromptu displays of love, whether that\u2019s a nice cuddle on the sofa or&#8230;erm, something a bit more amorous. Either way, you don\u2019t want loads of clutter cramping your style so make sure you get rid of it!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Feng shui: it works!<\/h4>\n<p>Feng shui aims to allow energy to flow around your home in the most efficient way possible and &#8211; believe it or not &#8211; love is one such energy! Here\u2019s a handy guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/fengshui.about.com\/od\/love\/p\/quicklovecheck.htm\">feng-shui\u2019ing your home for optimum love possibilities<\/a> (spoiler: it doesn\u2019t involve having loads of stuff in your house).<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, check out <a href=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/2014\/08\/07\/the-surprisingly-easy-guide-to-feng-shui\/\">our surprisingly easy guide to Feng Shui<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>No-one likes an unclean house<\/h4>\n<p>We\u2019re an open-minded bunch here at Magpie, but we\u2019re fairly certain that most people find a messy home a turn-off; you never saw Romeo and Juliet or Ross and Rachel get it together on a bed of takeaway boxes and old DVDs, did you? Clean everything in house from top to bottom and watch your chances of romance go through the roof.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Advertise your best qualities<\/h4>\n<p>A date is essentially a job interview, except instead of trying to land a new role you\u2019re trying to land a new person to share your life with (hopefully). You want to advertise your best qualities, as you would in a job interview, and it turns out people quite like folks who are well-organised and tidy!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Declutter every day before the big one<\/h4>\n<p>So, you\u2019ve decided that decluttering before Valentine\u2019s Day is probably a good idea. How do you actually go about it? Well, we\u2019ve posted a couple of guides in the past (<a href=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/category\/decluttering\/\">all of which you can read by clicking here<\/a>) but it boils down to this: clear up a little bit every day (20 mins or so would be fine), and divide your decluttering into a room-by-room operation.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Have you got any decluttering tips to share with your fellow lovestruck readers?
