Article: Realizing you may not be able to make a rent payment can be extremely stressful, but do your best to stay calm. Try your best not to reach out to your landlord right when your rent is due since they may not be able to offer you as many options. Instead, talk to them immediately so you can inform them about your current financial situation and how coronavirus has affected you. You may also send texts or a physical letter to your landlord if you don't want to use email. You can either use a letter from your employer about their coronavirus policy or your past few paychecks as proof of any financial difficulties. If you're part of an industry that was forced to close, such as retail or entertainment, providing your proof of employment may be enough. Attach copies of the documents to your email so your landlord can look over them and recognize that you've genuinely been affected. Avoid trying to negotiate your rent if you haven't been affected by coronavirus and can still afford to pay it in full. Even if you can't make your full rent payment, let your landlord know how much you'd be able to comfortably pay. That way, your landlord will see that you're still trying to work with them and they may be more willing to negotiate or waive your payment. Just be sure to leave enough money for yourself so you can still afford groceries, medication, or any other essential products you'll need. For example, you may say, "I'm sorry I can't make the full rent payment for next month since my job has been shut down for 2 weeks due to coronavirus. I can still cover $1,200 though, so would we be able to make that work out?" If you don't have enough money to make a large rent payment, see if your landlord will accept smaller payments over a set period of time. Choose a regular payment amount that you can comfortably afford and let your landlord know how long you plan on taking to pay it back. If you come to an agreement, make sure you make your payments on time to show that you're reliable. For example, if you have to pay $1,200 USD for rent, you may instead offer to pay $300 USD every month for the next 4 months or even $200 USD for the next 6 months. You will still have to make your future rent payments in full and on time unless you also negotiate for them. Your landlord may ask you to pay an extra percentage as interest if you split your payment between months. For example, if your rent is $1,200 USD and your landlord wants 10% extra as interest, then you'll pay a total of $1,320 USD. If you've made payments on time in the past or have had a good rental history, mention it in your email so your landlord sees that you're usually very dependable. While being a good tenant doesn't necessarily mean you'll get a break on your rent, it may help convince your landlord to help you out so you keep renting from them. For example, you could say, "I've rented from you for 2 years without receiving any complaints, and I have made all my past payments on time so you can tell that I'm usually reliable. Since we had to leave work so suddenly due to coronavirus, I hope you can understand why I'm asking you to accept a partial payment for this month." Have an open line of communication with your landlord about your financial situation throughout the month so you both can plan accordingly. If you get another job or are able to go back to work, let them know if you still need to follow the payment plan you agreed on. If you're still having trouble trying to meet rent, tell your landlord as soon as you can to see if they can offer any additional assistance.

Article: While some things will vary depending on your body type and personal style, you'll need to stick to some basics to avoid scaring most men away. Wear deodorant. Some men are lucky enough to have fewer sweat glands and may not need to use deodorant on a daily basis. However, most do. Reapply deodorant as needed, especially in warm weather or after exercise. Shower at least once a day. Use soap and water to rinse away dirt, dead skin, and bacterial buildup. Some people with fine or oily hair may need to shampoo daily, but most only need to wash their hair a few times a week or even less. Just don't go more than 14 days without a shampoo. Keep your nails clean and free from dirt. Your nails can be any length, shape, or color you prefer. If your nails are longer, buff out breaks with a nail file to keep them from snagging on hair and clothing. Facial hair grows at different rates between men. However, most men who shave do so each morning. Even if you sport a full beard, you will need to shape it to look sharp. Shave or pluck away stray hairs on your face or below your neckline. While stubble is currently popular, avoid growing it out too far to avoid looking unkempt. Smooth, healthy skin has universal appeal. Keep yours looking its best. This doesn't mean you have to go overboard with lotions and creams. There are, however, some basics you should cover. Moisturize after you shower. Hydrated skin reduces the appearance of wrinkles. Protect your skin from the sun. Sun damage can cause premature aging in your skin. Wear a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or above.

Article: Doing so will help you evaluate which foods are causing you particular digestive problems. Different foods are triggers for different people, but pay special attention to common gas-causing foods such as beans, peas, whole grains, cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, asparagus, and onions. If dairy products are causing you problems, try replacing regular dairy products with lactose-free milk or other calcium-rich foods. You may also try consuming dairy products with active cultures such as yogurt or kefir. These cultures aid in digestion. Avoid consuming fried or fatty foods or artificial sweeteners. Consider adding a fermented food such as kimchee or sauerkraut to your diet. The beneficial bacteria in these foods can aid in digestion. Keep in mind that you won't want to eliminate all gas-causing foods from your diet. Consuming adequate fiber and a variety of nutrient-rich foods is vital during pregnancy and helps prevent constipation, which is another big problem in pregnancy. Noting which foods cause you the greatest problems, however, will help you plan your diet. You may opt, for example, to avoid problem foods when out in public or before an important meeting. Staying hydrated will help you eliminate constipation, which can cause additional gas and bloating. Drink from a glass without using a straw to ensure you avoid sucking in excess air. Minimize your consumption of carbonated drinks to avoid ingesting gas bubbles. While you need to consume additional food overall during pregnancy, your slower digestive system may not be able to tolerate as much food at one time as it used to. Smaller, more frequent meals will help you ensure your digestive system does not become overloaded. A majority of gas is produced when bacteria in your large intestine break down food that has not been digested thoroughly by the enzymes in your stomach. Breaking down your food by chewing will lessen the load on your intestinal bacteria and reduce your gas production. Although foods that contain fiber may cause you to produce more gas, they will also help to ensure that you have regular bowel movements, which may help with gas. Maintaining good bowel health during pregnancy is also important to avoid constipation. Make sure to include some god sources of fiber in your diet, like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Aim for 25 to 30 grams of fiber every day to help prevent constipation and promote regular bowel movements.

Keep a food diary to track the foods you eat daily. Drink plenty of water. Eat smaller meals more frequently. Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly. Get 25 to 30 grams of fiber daily for regular bowel movements.
