Carol Olmsteads Top Five Feng Shui Tips to Help Break Old Habits:

1. Resolved to Improve Your Love Life? Get rid of those extra pillows, stuffed animals, and throws on your bed to make room for a lover and allow space for your relationship to grow.

2. Resolved to Find a New Relationship? Remove the dirty laundry, office work, and stacks of junk from your bedroom, especially on your night tables. Clutter in your bedroom represents a desire to escape rather than to build a relationship.
