When talking to someone who believes in God, don't spend the entire conversation waiting to argue your point of view. Instead, be present for the conversation by listening actively and constructively. When someone tells you something, paraphrase what they just said to show you understand. Ask questions to move the conversation forward, instead of letting it stall out. Be empathetic and acknowledge the other person's feelings. Sometimes, different people have different definitions of what God actually is. Before you engage in a conversation with someone who believes in God, make sure you're both defining God in the same way. Ask the person you're talking with to clarify what their God entails before getting into a theological discussion. Check in at different points in the conversation to make sure you're still on the same page. This will prevent you from arguing over one another. Regardless of how persuasive your argument is, the person you're talking with is probably not going to leave the conversation an atheist. Treat your conversation like a religious exploration and you may both leave having learned something new. Ask questions that challenge your partner's beliefs, but do so because you're interested, not because you're trying to trip them up. If the other person makes a good point, tell them. Learning about God should not be a competition.

The chemicals in many antibacterial sprays, furniture polishes, and cleaning wipes can irritate your skin and nails. When shopping for cleaning products, choose natural or non-irritating formulas. Avoid products with ammonia, hydrochloric acid, sodium hypochlorite, or lye. If you find yourself biting or tearing at your nails, then this is a likely cause of at least some of the damage. Make a decision to end these behaviors and follow through by coating your nails in an unpleasant taste, such as lemon juice. There are also nail polishes that are designed to dissuade you from biting. Nail biting can happen in your sleep. To prevent this, put socks or mittens on your hands before you go to bed. If you feel as if your nail biting is crossing the line into a compulsion, talk with a mental health professional. Look for biotin pills or multivitamins in the health or medical areas of most stores. Taken daily these pills will start to strengthen your nail beds. This is a slow process, but will result in nails that can withstand rougher treatment without breaking or tearing. Expect to take biotin for at least 4-6 months. Make sure that your diet contains many foods with the vitamins A, B, C, and E. These vitamins will help to build up your nails and cuticles. Foods, such as olive oil and eggs, or a good multivitamin can give you these nutrients. Also, make sure to drink at least eight glasses of water a day to prevent dehydration and brittle nail beds an dry cuticles. The main ingredient in most nail polish removers, acetone, can easily eat through your nail beds if not used properly. Only apply the minimum amount needed when removing your polish and place the remover on a cotton swab, not directly on your nail. If your nails are damaged, then it is a good idea to go to a professional for any polishing or new nail applications. Tell the technician about the problems that you've been having and ask for their treatment suggestions. If offered, go for hand massage as well as it will increase blood flow to the area and stimulate healing. A hand and nail massage with coconut oil, or any oil, is even better as it moisturizes the nail bed. New nail growth takes anywhere from 3-6 months. So, expect to wait that long until you see clear improvements with your nails. Resist the urge to speed up the process by trying out aggressive treatments, as they may cause more harm than good.

Check this by making sure the end of the shoulder pads (the seams) end where your shoulders end under the jacket. If you are buying a three button suit the middle button should not fall below your belly button. If it's a two button suit the top button should not fall below your belly button. If you put your arms at your side, your knuckles should be roughly even with the bottom of your suit jacket. Check that the length of the sleeves is right. The sleeves of your suit jacket should sit at base of your thumb (where your thumb meets your wrist). The button up shirt under your suit jacket should be visible. You should have roughly 1/4th to about 12 inch (1.3cm) of shirt's cuff peeking out from the sleeves. Slip your hand into your lapel. If you hand is flat, it should slip in easily. If you put your fist into your lapel, the highest button on your jacket should pull. There should be roughly one inch of "break" at the bottom of your pants (where the end of your pants fall on your shoes). There are three options to the size of your "break." Full break is when the hem hits the top of the shoe's soles. This is a fashion forward look. Half break or medium break is when the hem hits roughly halfway down the back of the shoes. This is a traditional look. No break is when the hem ends right before top of your shoes. This is a casual look.
