Q: This is the best way to get rid of any dirt, sweat, and/or germs that your body may have accumulated throughout the day, and prevents hygiene-related diseases. As a plus, showering daily helps you feel, look, and smell your best throughout the day. Use a loofah, sponge, or hand towel to gently scrub your entire body, removing dead skin cells and dirt. Remember to replace these items regularly as they can easily harbor bacteria. If you don't want to wash your hair every day, then invest in a shower cap and wash your body with soap and water. If you don't have time to shower, then use a hand towel to rinse your face, underarms, and genitals at the end of the day. Remember that the skin on your face is more sensitive than on other parts of your body. You can either use your face cleanser in the shower or wash your face separately at the sink. Avoid using hot water as this will make your skin irritated and flaky. Take your skin type into account when choosing a face cleaner. If you have very dry skin, avoid products that has high alcohol content, as this will further dry out your skin. If you have very sensitive skin, opt for hypo-allergenic products that contain less harsh chemicals. If you wear a lot of makeup, find a cleanser that also specializes in removing makeup. Otherwise, buy a separate makeup remover and remove all makeup before washing your face at the end of the day. Regular tooth-brushing and flossing helps prevent gum disease, which has been linked to other illnesses elsewhere in the body like heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. It is especially important to brush teeth after eating sweets or acidic foods that cause tooth erosion. To keep your gums extra strong, carry around a travel-sized toothbrush and toothpaste and brush your teeth in between meals. Floss your teeth every night to prevent the gum disease gingivitis. Antiperspirant helps control excessive sweat, while deodorant covers up unpleasant body odor caused by sweat. Consider using a natural, aluminum-free deodorant to reduce potential health risks associated with conventional deodorants. If you choose not to wear deodorant on a daily basis, then consider wearing it on the days when you plan on sweating excessively, or for special occasions. Apply deodorant before playing sports, going to the gym, or attending a formal occasion. If you don't wear deodorant, then rinse your underarms with soap and water throughout the day to remove unpleasant odor. In general, shirts should be washed after every use, while pants and shorts can be worn a few times before they require washing. Use your best judgment to determine how often to wash your clothes. Remove any stains from your clothing before wearing them. Iron out wrinkles, and use a lint-remover to remove unwanted lint and hair from clothing. Whether you're trying to grow your hair out or prefer to keep it short, trimming it will keep hair healthy, get rid of split ends, and give an overall cleaner, healthier appearance. Not only will this keep your hands and feet looking their best, it will prevent hangnails, breakage, and other potential damage to your nails. Short nails can't trap dirt under them the way long nails do. How often you clip your fingernails will depend on your personal desired length. To decide, take into account what you use your hands for on a daily basis. If you spend a lot of time typing on a computer or playing the piano, for example, short nails are probably the best option for you. If you prefer longer nails, that's fine too, but be sure to trim them every so often to prevent breakage. Use an orange stick to remove dirt from underneath the fingernails to prevent bacterial infections.
A: Shower daily. Choose a daily face cleanser. Brush your teeth every morning and evening. Wear deodorant. Wash your clothes after wearing them. Trim your hair every 4-8 weeks. Clip your fingernails and toenails regularly.

Q: Once Windows loads, you will be told that Windows will automatically configure your display. Click OK to start the configuration. Your screen will flash a couple times, and then you will be asked if you can read the box that appears. If your computer is connected to the internet, select your connection type. Press Next to continue. If connected to the Internet, Select "Activate Now." Windows will connect to the activation server and automatically authenticate your copy of Windows. If you haven't entered your Product Key yet, you will need to enter it now. After the Activation Process, a window will appear allowing you to select the users for the computer. Enter your name, and the names of others who will be using the machine. Press Next to continue. You will now be looking at the default Windows XP Desktop. Congratulations! There are a few things that you should probably do now that you have Windows up and running: Install any drivers that you need to for your computer's hardware. Install an antivirus program if you are connected to the internet. Set your BIOS to boot from the hard drive again instead of the CD.
A: Set your display preferences. Set your connection preferences. Activate your copy of Windows. Create Users. Start using Windows.

Q: Boundaries are important in any type of relationship. Enforcing boundaries with a friend can be challenging, but it will ultimately benefit you and help you build stronger friendships. If your friend can't respect your boundaries, it may be time to distance yourself from them. A few ways you can set boundaries include: Letting your friend know that you will not tolerate gossip or belittling speech about you to others. Saying "no" if your friend insists on talking about something personal or gossiping about others in front of you. Setting consequences for when your friend violates your boundaries (e.g., "If you keep talking about me behind my back, I will not spend time with you anymore."). If you've talked to your friend and they're making an effort to change their ways, give them a few weeks or months before making any big decisions about the friendship. Your friend may be trying to change a lifelong habit of blurting things out when they don't mean to, for example. If your friend does slip up, remind them that they agreed not to gossip to or about you. If they apologize and immediately correct their behavior, that's a good sign that they are trying to improve. Make sure your friend knows that what you are telling them is private and for no one else to know, if you are intent on sharing personal information with them. You may find out that you can't trust them, but at least they won't be able to claim that they "didn't know it was a secret." If your friend can't stop gossiping and it's causing you significant stress, then it might be best to go your separate ways. Try keeping them as an acquaintance at first, to see if spending less time around them alleviates the problem. If things don't improve, tell them that you cannot be friends with someone that you cannot trust.
A:
Create and maintain healthy friendship boundaries. Give them time to improve. Be explicit when you want your friend to keep something a secret. Consider ending the friendship.
