Q: Many people prefer to use natural deodorant. For some it is about avoiding artificial ingredients that they can't pronounce; for others it is a desire not to interfere with the body's natural sweating process. Whatever your reason, there are many natural choices on the market. As with all products, people find natural deodorant to be of varying levels of efficacy. You'll have to experiment to find what works for you. However, many people find that roll-ons and sprays work better than sticks. You will not find natural antiperspirant. Plant oils and extracts have been proven to have antimicrobial effects. These oils can be combined with other readily accessible ingredients. Try combining solids like beeswax, cocoa butter, or shea butter with oils including thyme, rosemary, or lavender. Baking soda is also a common ingredient in homemade deodorant. While wanting to smell nice is not a new phenomenon, it was not easy to convince American consumers to buy deodorant. Keep in mind that companies' business depends on convincing you that you stink! There is actually a single gene that controls whether or not you have the chemical that bacteria like to feed on, causing smelly sweat. If you don't have this gene, you don't need deodorant. Short of coding your DNA, you can get an idea of whether you have this gene or not by looking at your earwax, which is controlled by the same gene. If it's dry and flaky, you likely do not produce stinky sweat. Of course, no one needs deodorant for health reasons. It's not something you need to spend money on just because everyone else does.
A: Explore natural brands. Make your own. Experiment to see if you really need deodorant.

Q: Although it may not always be the case, a broad vocabulary doesn't necessarily equate to a strong vocabulary. When it comes to sounding eloquent, less is more. A wordy explanation is not more eloquent than a simple and clear explanation, if they both accomplish the same thing. Don't add in extra vocab words to sound more intelligent. Make attempts to learn new vocabulary whenever possible, but when you're speaking, stick to words you know. One of the least eloquent things you can do is misuse a large vocabulary word, or combine too many large vocabulary words and leave your listener confused. When applicable, make allusions to things that help explain a thought or idea, or that will otherwise give the listener a better idea of what you're trying to say. References to pop culture, classic literature and art, and historical people and events are all incredibly helpful and give you an added air of intelligence. Nothing sounds less professional and eloquent than filling up silences and spaces between words with filler words like "um," "like," "so," and "yeah". Make a conscious effort not to fill up your speeches with these words, and don't feel like you must insert words into every empty space. If it is helpful, think through exactly what you're going to say before you say it so that you don't fall back on these fillers. You could have the most eloquent speech in the world prepared, but if you can't properly enunciate the words in them, your listeners will end up confused and in the dark. Take the necessary time to pronounce each word in your sentence correctly, minimizing an accent if necessary. If you have particular trouble with proper enunciation, hire a voice/speaking coach to help you pronounce words properly. One of the common issues people have with speaking, is they end up grasping for words, leaving an awkward pause in their speech, and then they seem unprepared. Beat this by becoming familiar with a list of popular transitions and popular adjectives. If you do forget what you were going to say, it won't take you as long to supply a word when you can refer to these mental lists. Common (and eloquent) transitions include furthermore, additionally, moreover, in particular, nevertheless, and despite. Common (and eloquent) adjectives will vary based on what you're talking about, but may include gorgeous, disgusted, absurd, tasteful, resonant, brief, pleasant, and lovely. In order to prevent stumbling over your thoughts and jumping straight into speech, think about what you're going to say before you say it. Similar to writing a response, thinking in advance will give you time to formulate exactly what you're going to say and how you're going to say it. Just be careful that you don't script yourself so much that you sound fake or accidentally leave out important words.
A: Stick with clear and succinct vocabulary. Use what you know. Make helpful references. Don't use filler words. Enunciate each word. Familiarize yourself with transitions and adjectives. Formulate your sentence in advance.

Q: A puppy under three months will be easier to train to get used to a vehicle than an older dog. The best way to overcome fear of your car is to avoid it in the first place with early training. Before you take any trips with your puppy, introduce him to the car so that he can grow accustomed to it. Especially in the summer, make sure the car is running so you can keep it cool. This will also help your dog grow accustomed to the sound of the motor. To help your puppy get comfortable: Place a bed on the seat so your dog is comfortable and doesn't slip on the upholstery. Feed you your puppy meals in the car. Give your dogs treats, such as a stuffed KONG or bone to chew on. Always travel with your dog restrained for his safety. When introducing your dog to the car, it is important that he wear the same restraint he will when traveling, or go in a carrier if that is how you will transport him. If using a harness, you can practice putting it on in your home before trying it in the car. Give your dog lots of treats when you put it on, then take it off. Gradually increase the amount of time he wears it, eventually giving him a bone or chew toy to play with while in the harness. If using a crate, you should crate train your dog before trying the crate in the car. Dogs often suffer from motion sickness during their first few car rides, so you'll want to keep your puppies first trips short. Start with just going in and out of the driveway and gradually build up to more. For the first 2-3 days, just back out of the driveway or drive a few feet down the street, then return to you parking place. Do this once or twice a day. Next, try driving around the block for a couple of days. Move on to a five minute drive. As long as your dog shows no signs of anxiety panting, trembling, whining, cowering, or drooling you can slowly increase the lengthy of trips over several weeks. If you only use the car to take your dog to the vet, your dog is not going to like the car. Especially when you dog is a puppy, try to have most car trips end somewhere fun, like the park, the hiking trail, a pet store, a friend's house, or a dog park. If your dog is anticipating the destination, he won't mind the drive so much. Especially for bigger breeds, teaching your dog to get in and out by himself will save you a lot of back pain when he is full grown. Getting In Pick a command word like "in" for entering the car. If necessary, use treats to lure your dog into the car at first. Be sure to use the command word as your dog enters, so he starts to associate the word with the action. Getting Out Pick a command word like "out". It is very important to teach you dog to wait to leave the car until asked. Teach your dog "wait" at home. Have your dog wait in the car, then get out on command. Practice with a leash on at first, to be sure your dog won't run off.
A:
Familiarize your puppy with the vehicle as early as possible. Teach your puppy that the car is a fun place. Get your puppy accustomed to being restrained in either a crate or under a harness for travel. Start with short rides. Take your dog to places he likes. Have your dog get in and out of the car by himself as soon as he can.
