Q: Just because there is a pause in the conversation doesn't mean it has to be awkward. Perhaps the person is thinking before responding or maybe there is simply a natural pause. Take this opportunity to connect in other ways such as by making eye contact or just being present with the person. Silence doesn't have to be awkward. It can be filled in other ways besides words. For example, if someone has shared something difficult with you, perhaps a family member is ill, instead of trying to find the right words, give them a hug. This shows that you care and can say even more than words. Sharing silence with someone when they don't have anything else to say, is also a good way to allow them space for an emotional response. There is generally something that caused the awkward silence. If you recognize the cause, you can more easily fill the silence. Maybe someone said something that made the other party uncomfortable. Maybe you have vastly different views about something and are avoiding conflict. Maybe you just don't have that much in common to talk about. Depending on the situation, you can respond accordingly and move forward. If you said something that made the other person uncomfortable, you can simply apologize by saying something like, "I'm sorry, that was out of place." Then move the conversation in a new direction. If you don't have much in common with the other person and have exhausted your shared interests, the silence might be telling you that it's time to leave. Excuse yourself gracefully by saying something such as, "I have to go drive Donny to football now. Take care." This works best when the conversation has been halted by somebody saying something embarrassing, rude, or untimely. For example, if you are going on and on about how much you hate chess and the other person then says, "Oh, it's my favorite game. I'm actually a grandmaster." You could say something like, "Well I guess we won't be chess partners anytime soon!" Then change the subject to an area of common ground. You could ask what other games they like. Or if you're talking with a friend and telling them about your great date last night, and they respond with the date they're having tonight, and you discover that you're both dating the same person, the silence will be so thick you could cut it with a knife. Simply say "Awkward!" in a funny voice to diffuse the tension. If you decide you enjoy the person you're talking with, but for whatever reason the conversation has stalled, suggest something you can do together. For example, if you're at a party it could be as simple as becoming the ad hoc greeting committee for new arrivals, or you could volunteer to be the bartenders for a little while. Maybe even create a signature cocktail and name it after the two of you! If you are on a date or one-on-one with someone, suggest a walk, or a snowball fight, or some other activity you can both do at the moment. Focusing on something other than your conversation partner is a sure way to make them uncomfortable and add to the awkwardness. For example, don't take out your phone and start checking for messages. Not only will they feel unimportant, but they might even leave! Find productive ways to deal with silence that involve both of you. If you really feel the need to look at your phone, you can involve the other person by showing them a short video clip or sharing a song with them. This can spark a new conversation. If conversation is not happening for whatever reason and you're in a situation that permits, smile and say "Please excuse me," and walk away. Find a friend to talk to or simply walk outside and get some fresh air. If you're on a date and simply aren't connecting with the person, call it a night. Say something like, "Well, I really should get going. I have a lot I need to get done tonight, but thanks for dinner."
A: Accept the silence. Identify the source. Acknowledge the moment. Find an activity. Avoid awkward behaviors. Know when to quit.

Q: your skin and pat it dry. Wet your skin with warm water and gently rub it with a brush, gentle scrubber, or exfoliating product, such as an exfoliating cleanser. Rinse your skin with cool water and then pat it dry. Exfoliating will remove dead skin cells that would otherwise clog your razor. Dip your clean fingers into a jar of pure coconut oil and then rub your fingers together. The heat and friction of your fingers will soften the oil, making it easy to spread on the skin you're planning to shave. Let the oil sit on your skin for a few minutes before you begin to shave. If you're shaving your face or armpits, you'll only need a coin-sized amount of coconut oil. You'll need more to shave your legs, especially if the skin is very dry. Although you could shave with just the pure coconut oil on your skin, you'll get a smoother shave if you apply moisturizing shaving cream. Spread or brush a thick layer of the cream evenly over your skin. If you're shaving short hairs, you may want to skip the shaving cream since pure coconut oil will be enough to moisturize the fine hairs. the hair with a sharp razor. Rinse your razor with clean water every few strokes, so the razor doesn't clog with hairs or coconut oil. If you find it difficult to rinse the razor, fill a cup with water. Then dip and shake the razor a little to loosen the hairs. Although you can gently wipe your skin with your hands as you rinse, avoid rubbing the skin vigorously. This will irritate the skin and make it appear red. Once you've rinsed the skin with water, take a soft cloth and gently pat the skin dry. Ensure that any little hairs are completely rinsed away before you towel dry. Shaving can dry out your skin, even if you moisturize before you begin. To hydrate your skin and protect it, spread a little more pure coconut oil in a thin layer over the smooth skin. Keep rubbing your skin until the coconut oil is absorbed and no longer feels greasy.
