Talk to the socially awkward, the most popular, and anyone else you can. Provide a firm handshake. Meet everyone you can, and try your best to remember their names. People feel obligated to learn your name if you are already calling them by their first name. Acclimate to local customs when talking to new people. The more they feel similar to you, the more likely they are to remember you. Whether you dress a certain way, have a catchphrase, or market yourself in a memorable manner, it's important for your name to be easily recalled. Stand out from the crowd by being intriguing and unique, but not weird. Try a few of the following examples or use them as potential inspiration: Wear vibrant bow ties with your outfits. Saturate the market with the same billboard. Get an 800 number that spells out something easy to remember. Maybe something like 1-800-INS-URES is available? This is a low cost per person contact method for potential customers, as well as a nice way to keep in contact with your current client base. Managing customer relationships can facilitate new clients seeing a business they may not be aware of, and your current clients are reminded you're always there. Some people simply like to talk on the phone instead of receiving postcards, going to businesses, or getting emails. Be cautious, however, and invest in leads before you start trying out this cheap, sometimes effective sales method. Without leads you could have a much lower success rate than you normally would. Be sure to keep track of who you've called. There is no better way to annoy someone, even a potential customer, than to call them multiple times when they've already heard your pitch. Find a way to connect over the phone. Listen for contextual clues and relate to what they know. Do research before calling. Look for social medial profiles or business websites before making the call, and you'll likely understand the other person better.

The idea is to let the new dog explore the house for 10 minutes and leave his scent around while the old dog is kept caged and out of sight. Then the dogs are swapped around, so the old dog is free around the house and picks up the scent of the new dog without encountering him. Do not let the two dogs see each other or they may get off on the wrong foot. It is important for them to get used to each other's scents before they have any face to face interaction. Place a toy or blanket in each dog's cage and give them a chance to play with it or snuggle with it. This allows the object to absorb the dog's scent. After the dogs have had a chance to play with or snuggle their toys and/or blankets, swap them. Remove the toys from the cages and put them into opposite cages. For example, take the puppy's blanket and toys and put them into the existing dog's cage. Do the same with the existing dog's toys and blanket. Allow the dogs some more time to get used to each other's scents.

One-sentence summary -- Put both dogs in separate cages in different rooms of your home. Give each dog a toy or blanket and let them have a chance to play with it. Swap toys and blankets to give them a chance to smell each other.

If you want to add a bit of sweetness to your tea, try adding a small spoonful of honey. Honey has antifungal, antibacterial, and antimicrobial properties. It can potentially boost your health as well as sweetening your tea. Honey is very sweet, so a little goes a long way. Add only a small teaspoon of honey to a cup of tea. If you dislike sweetening your tea too much, consider adding milk. Milk can add a mild, creamy flavor that is somewhat sweet. However, it will not make your tea too sugary. Just make sure not to use milk if you're lactose intolerant. Some people find milk helps them fall asleep. While the truth of this claim is unclear, if milk has helped you sleep in the past, it may help you fall asleep when mixed with chamomile tea. Sugar can add a lot of calories to tea unnecessarily. If you want to sweeten your tea, but do not want the extra calories found in sugar, opt for artificial sweeteners. Something like stevia, sold in most supermarkets, can be used to sweeten tea. For a healthy option to sweeten your tea, go for fruit. Try adding a few slices of apple or a few blueberries to your tea. You can also add something like fruit juice to add a little sweetness to your tea. If you're trying to cut back on sugar, make sure to avoid juices with added sugar.

It is common for people transitioning their hair to go ahead and do the big chop - that is, cutting off all the relaxed hair, leaving a short amount of new growth near the scalp. This is certainly the best option for creating healthy growth, but not everyone wants their hair to be less than an inch long. If you're bold enough to try a new look, the big chop is an excellent choice for immediately getting rid of all your relaxed hair, creating an immediate full transition to natural hair. Relaxers are permanent, so whatever parts of your hair that have been in contact with a relaxer will never grow back naturally. Therefore, at some point in time your hair must be cut off to above the demarcation line. If you're not willing to go for the big chop, the next step is to do regular trims of your hair. Start by cutting off a few inches of your hair, and then once a month cut off - an inch of hair. Over time you'll have removed all of the damaged, relaxed hair to above the demarcation line, allowing your natural hair to grow more strongly. The first couple inches of new, natural growth can appear strange when juxtaposed next to your relaxed hair. In order to avoid damaging it further with tight styles, use accessories to hide your curly roots. Headbands and head scarves are popular options for hiding your roots while allowing the rest of your hair to show through. Although tight cornrows can cause breakage, using loose cornrows, braids, and twists are a great way to add interest to your hair without damaging it. The most manageable transitioning hairstyles are box braids and Senegalese twists. These hairstyles include little to no hair manipulation and they give a lot of hair protection since the extension hair is covering your real hair. Mastering each style can be tricky, so spend some time finding which works best with your hair and personal stylistic preferences. The most important thing is to keep whatever style you use very loose, so as to avoid stressing the strands of hair. Your hair is most fragile at the demarcation line, so be particularly gentle when styling it around this point. Many women can vouch for the importance of owning a good hair gel, pomade, or spray; with the right products, you can cover up even the most unsightly of hair styles. Sort through your styling products, and try using them (rather than a tight style with clips or elastic bands) to style your hair. You may like the results better, and it will be safer and more gentle on your fragile hair as well. Although it can be tricky not to, the more you touch and style your hair, the more likely it is to break and become frizzy. Try not to brush your hair too often, and avoid styles that put strain on your scalp. If you do brush your hair, start from the bottom and work your way up using a comb (not a brush).
