Personal Hygene

Filed under Health & Hygiene
It may seem like common sense, but I’ve met enough of the guys in this community to know that a primer like this is desperately needed…
Paranoid writes:
I know that personal hygiene is something that is hammered into our brains right from childhood by our Momma.But as we start growing older, Momma stops giving giving sermons on hygiene because she thinks we are old enough to graduate into the next level of hygiene all by ourselves.I know many people who forget to wash their hands after a visit to the restroom just before lunch/dinner is served.It’s important to keep note of such trivial matter(trivial it is not, but to those who forget to wash their hands after taking a leak, trivial it is).So I hope to convey the importance of personal hygiene through this post.I have tried to make it as thorough as possible but I might have missed a point here and there so fill me in.I am going to split up the post into three sections namely the head, the trunk and the legs.It will make it much easier to follow.So what are we waiting for?!?
HEAD:-
1). Hair
Most often than not, men love women with long hair.It shines,appears soft and has that ever-so-delightful fragrance about it.It appears to be flawless..no knots anywhere! And then she runs her hands through our hair.It’s rough, lacks shine and has no smell.How come?
First off, we need to respect our hair.Daily washing is required.I can hear voices clamor out "but I do shampoo it daily!".I said wash…not shampoo.Shampooing is good if done once in every 3 days.Too much of shampoo is harmful for the hair after all shampoo has chemicals too.If done in moderation, it will make your hair look awesome.So what I syggest is that you should shampoo your hair not more than twice or thrice a week.With cold water.The other days, just a thorough wash with water will suffice.Too much shampoo dehydrates your scalp and you lose your natural odor,if I may call it so, of the hair.Hence the shampoo 2/3 times a week advice.
Okay…now that shampooing is done.What next? Condition it.Conditioner to hair is like what moisturiser is to the skin.It is a vital part of the haircare regime.Paul Mitchell’s Daily Conditioner is a good bet but there are many other brands you could try out.Infact, the best way to go is to ask your barber/hairdresser what conditioner you should get.Afterall he knows your hair better than you know it.
After you are done conditioning, you may not feel the need to use a gel as you can style it as you want (atleast I have been able to do away with gels completely.)
2). Eyebrows
Many people tend to overlook their eyebrows.I know I know that it isnt that important when it comes to personal hygiene.But if you have really bushy eyebrows, you might want to trim it down a little.Other than that, leave it as it is.
3). Nose
Clean your nose atleast once every day.We breathe in dirt every second and most of the larger particles, get stuck in the nose.You may think this isnt important.But the next time you see a person throw back his head and laugh out loud, take a look at the nose.Infact, once my friend had a hearty laugh with my friends and is gf and some gook flew straight out of his nose.It was an embarassing moment to say the least.
Just like your eyebrows,make sure there isnt any prominent nose hair sticking out of your nose.If so,clip it off if you havent done it already.
4). Ears
Just like our nose, dirt tends to enter out ear.But unlike the nose, we cannot check our ear for goober inside it.So use earbuds to get the dirty wax out of your ear.Do this twice a week and you shall have no trouble when chicks whisper into your ear.
If you have heypertrichosis, you know what to do.
5). Mouth
The dirtiest place in our body.A haven for microorganisms.
Make sure you brush atleast twice a day.Make sure you reach every nook and corner when you brush.A casual brushing isn’t good enough.A floss and a tongue-scraper is a must.Use a mouthwash during the day to keep your breath minty fresh because you may never know when you might have to give a crash course in european culture.
6). Face in general
The most prominently exposed part of our body(when fully clothed).So you better make it representable.
Wash your face thrice a day preferably with warm water.Follow a good sckincare regime (www.acne.org) to prevent any major breakout of ance or to clear out acne which is already present.Follow that up with moisturizers.It is an essential part of the skincare regime.Moisturizers rehydrates your face and prevents dryness of skin.Apart from that, it also prevents an entry into your skin by creating a barrier for bacteria and airborne impurities.Apart from these tips for a relatively clear skin, exercise a lot and watch what you eat.
Facial hair looks look on some people and not-so-good on the others.So make a choice about what looks good on you.When shaving, use a good razor (Mach from Gillete) and shaving foam (Brut et al.).Always try to shave with the grain .It’s much easier and prevents a lot of unwanted snicks.Use warm water for shaving.After you are done with shaving, splash on some aftershave and you are good to go!
You can read the whole thread here.
Just a couple more notes on this subject…
1. Clean out your ears. Buy some Q-tips, and use them on your ears right after you shower so all that gunk is soft from the steam. Clean them out about twice a week.
2. Nose and ear hair. Nothing is more unattractive than hair sticking out of these two places. Go to your local drug store and invest in a nose hair clipper. Use it to get all those hard to reach hairs. You’ll be amazed at the difference it makes.
3. Neck Hair. Buy a nice hand mirror and take the time once a week to shave all that excess neck hair off. This may not be a problem for some guys, but for others, it’s worth the effort.
4. Back hair. It may seem very "queer eye," but if you have excessive back hair, do yourself a favor and look up a local spa that offers waxing services, and USE IT! Chest hair on a guy may be a turn on for girls, but back hair is a definite no-no. Waxing isn’t that painful, and you’ll look better for it. While you’re there, see if they can’t help you with your unibrow if you should have one. The good thing about waxing is if you do it enough, the hair will stop growing back.
5. Nails. Buy some clippers at your local drug store and trim your fingernails and toenails about once every two weeks or so. Be sure to file them so they’re smooth.
6. Wash your nether-regions. Invest in a sturdy washcloth and get down there where the sun don’t shine every time you shower. This’ll go a long way to keeping that "not so freash" feeling at bay.
7. Shower every day. No excuse not to do this. I’ve known some guys that go for weeks without washing. That’s disgusting. Be sure to shower AT LEAST once a day.
8. Deoderant. Buy a good deoderant and anti-perspirant, and USE IT! Use it every day, especially after you shower. You’ll be doing the world a favor.
9. Cologne. Get a good cologne to spritz you up with before you go out. Make sure it’s anything other than Old Spice.
10. Wash Behind Your Ears. There is dirt that gets caked back there. Be sure to scrub it off.
I’ll be adding a new category to the blog for this topic because I think it’s very much an important part of getting women. If you don’t pay much attention to your personal hygene, make sure you change that way of thinking. It’s very important that you put as much effort into looking good for women as women do for looking good for men. It could mean the difference between getting a lay an not!






New design revealed for Airbus hydrogen plane
[url=https://v2-becfy.fi]beefy fi[/url]
In travel news this week: Bhutan’s spectacular new airport, the world’s first 3D-printed train station has been built in Japan, plus new designs for Airbus’ zero-emission aircraft and France’s next-generation high-speed trains.
Grand designs
European aerospace giant Airbus has revealed a new design for its upcoming fully electric, hydrogen-powered ZEROe aircraft. powered by hydrogen fuel cells.
The single-aisle plane now has four engines, rather than six, each powered by their own fuel cell stack.
The reworked design comes after the news that the ZEROe will be in our skies later than Airbus hoped.
The plan was to launch a zero-emission aircraft by 2035, but now the next-generation single-aisle aircraft is slated to enter service in the second half of the 2030s.
Over in Asia, the Himalayan country of Bhutan is building a gloriously Zen-like new airport befitting a nation with its very own happiness index.
Gelephu International is designed to serve a brand new “mindfulness city,” planned for southern Bhutan, near its border with India.
In rail travel, Japan has just built the world’s first 3D-printed train station, which took just two and a half hours to construct, according to The Japan Times. That’s even shorter than the whizzy six hours it was projected to take.
France’s high-speed TGV rail service has revealed its next generation of trains, which will be capable of reaching speeds of up to 320 kilometers an hour (nearly 200 mph).
The stylish interiors have been causing a stir online, as has the double-decker dining car.
Finally, work is underway in London on turning a mile-long series of secret World War II tunnels under a tube station into a major new tourist attraction. CNN took a look inside.

Challenging our perceptions of ‘perfection’
[url=https://trodrerjoexzy.fi]traderjoexyz[/url]
With health influencers raising the bar for success, the wellness space now often feels like a performative space where people strive to showcase peak physical and mental strength.
While seeing others’ achievements can be motivating, it can also be discouraging if your progress doesn’t match theirs.
Each person is chasing the perfect version of themselves — whether it’s a body or a lifestyle — which is dangerous because this is typically an impossible or dangerous version to achieve, Curran said. He added that this type of comparison creates a dangerous cycle in which people constantly feel dissatisfied with their own progress.
“It’s a fantasy in many ways, and once you start chasing after it, you constantly find yourself embroiled in a sense of doubt and deficit,” he said.
Curran also noted that wellness challenges can be particularly damaging for women who struggle with perfectionism, as they tend to be bombarded with impossible beauty standards and societal expectations.
Renee McGregor, a UK-based dietitian who specializes in eating disorders and athlete performance, encourages people to approach wellness trends with curiosity and skepticism. That’s because some influencers and celebrities could be promoting products because there’s a financial benefit for them.
“The thing to ask yourself about the person you’re taking advice from is what do they gain from it?” McGregor said. “If they are going to gain financially, then you know that they (could be willing) to sell you a lie.”
Whether you want to try a new challenge or product that promises amazing results, McGregor suggests doing your research and seeking diverse perspectives, including consulting with doctors when possible.

Americans Brittany and Blake Bowen had never even been to Ecuador when in 2021 they decided to move to the South American country with their four children.
Tired of “long commutes and never enough money” in the US, the Bowens say they love their new Ecuadorian life. “We hope that maybe we’ll have grandkids here one day.”
Erik and Erin Eagleman moved to Switzerland from Wisconsin with their three children in 2023.
“It feels safe here,” they tell CNN of their new outdoorsy lifestyle in Basel, close to the borders with France and Germany. Their youngest daughter even walks to elementary school by herself.
For adventures with your own family, be it weekend breaks or something longer-term, our partners at CNN Underscored, a product review and recommendations guide owned by CNN, have this roundup of the best kids’ luggage sets and bags.
Starry, starry nights
For close to 100 years, Michelin stars have been a sign of culinary excellence, awarded only to the great and good.
Georges Blanc, the world’s longest-standing Michelin-starred restaurant, has boasted a three-star rating since 1981, but this month the Michelin guide announced that the restaurant in eastern France was losing a star.
More culinary reputations were enhanced this week, when Asia’s 50 best restaurants for 2025 were revealed. The winner was a Bangkok restaurant which is no stranger to garlands, while second and third place went to two Hong Kong eateries.
You don’t need to go to a heaving metropolis for excellent food, however. A 200-year-old cottage on a remote stretch of Ireland’s Atlantic coast has been given a Michelin star. At the time of awarding, Michelin called it “surely the most rural” of its newest winners.

Tyler O’Neill hits record-extending sixth straight Opening Day home run
[url=https://orbiferfi.com]orbiter[/url]
For six seasons in a row, Tyler O’Neill has homered on MLB Opening Day.
Making his debut for the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday, O’Neill started the season with his record-extending sixth straight home run on Opening Day during his team’s 12-2 win against the Toronto Blue Jays.
No other player has homered on more than four consecutive Opening Days, with the 29-year-old outfielder’s three-run shot sending the Orioles into a 5-0 lead at the top of the third at Rogers Centre.
Todd Hundley (1994-97), Gary Carter (1977-80) and Yogi Berra (1955-58) all hit four consecutive home runs on Opening Day, while the Major League Baseball record for the total number of Opening Day home runs is held jointly by Adam Dunn, Ken Griffey Jr. and Frank Robinson on eight.
“I’m just not trying to make too much of it,” O’Neill told reporters about his streak. “I’m just trying to go out, have a good first at-bat and see what the game gives me from there.
“Obviously, I understand what’s going on, but it’s not like I’m going out there trying to do anything crazy.”
O’Neill, who signed a three-year, $49.5 million contract to join Baltimore from the Boston Red Sox in the offseason, finished three-for-three with three RBIs and two walks against the Blue Jays.
“It’s a little different when the lights turn on and you’ve got to show up, so it was really cool to see all the guys show up today,” he said. “We got after it out there.”
While the first two games of the MLB regular season took place between the Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers in Tokyo last week, Thursday marked the first official day of the season in the United States.

Mindful wellness challenges
If you’re the type of person who thrives on challenges and pushing your limits, this doesn’t mean you need to shy away from wellness challenges altogether. But before diving in, take a step back and ask yourself if you’re pursuing the challenge for the right reasons, McGregor said.
[url=https://ve1odrome.net]velodrome finance[/url]
Some people want to try these challenges because they believe something is missing from their life, and they’re looking to attain “worth” or receive validation, McGregor noted.
A good way to assess your motivation is by considering whether the challenge will benefit your health or if it’s about showcasing your accomplishments on social media or some other reason.
Before trying any new trend, make sure you have the foundation to handle it and be aware of any potential risks, McGregor said.
For casual runners, this might mean signing up for a 5K but building your endurance gradually while incorporating other strength training exercises into your routine. For more intense challenges, such as a marathon, McGregor encourages people to consult with professionals or a coach who can monitor your progress and condition along the way.
Focusing on sustainable habits
Both McGregor and Curran emphasize the importance of fostering sustainable health habits before embarking on more extreme challenges.
Rather than chasing the idea of being “healthy,” McGregor suggests focusing on actual healthful behaviors and starting small.
If you’re a highly sedentary person and want to add more movement to your day, try doing lunges while brushing your teeth or taking short walks throughout your typical routine.
Scientists redid an experiment that showed how life on Earth could have started. They found a new possibility
[url=https://web-safepal.com]safepal wallet[/url]
In the 1931 movie “Frankenstein,” Dr. Henry Frankenstein howling his triumph was an electrifying moment in more ways than one. As massive bolts of lightning and energy crackled, Frankenstein’s monster stirred on a laboratory table, its corpse brought to life by the power of electricity.
Electrical energy may also have sparked the beginnings of life on Earth billions of years ago, though with a bit less scenery-chewing than that classic film scene.
Earth is around 4.5 billion years old, and the oldest direct fossil evidence of ancient life — stromatolites, or microscopic organisms preserved in layers known as microbial mats — is about 3.5 billion years old. However, some scientists suspect life originated even earlier, emerging from accumulated organic molecules in primitive bodies of water, a mixture sometimes referred to as primordial soup.
But where did that organic material come from in the first place? Researchers decades ago proposed that lightning caused chemical reactions in ancient Earth’s oceans and spontaneously produced the organic molecules.
Now, new research published March 14 in the journal Science Advances suggests that fizzes of barely visible “microlightning,” generated between charged droplets of water mist, could have been potent enough to cook up amino acids from inorganic material. Amino acids — organic molecules that combine to form proteins — are life’s most basic building blocks and would have been the first step toward the evolution of life.
Aged 15, New Zealander Sam Ruthe has already run a four-minute mile. He would ‘love to try and qualify’ for the 2028 Olympics
[url=https://parasvvap.org]paraswap[/url]
Sam Ruthe had the eyes of thousands on him when he stepped onto a running track in Auckland just over a week ago.
Undaunted by the occasion, Ruthe went on to become the first 15-year-old to run a sub-four-minute mile, even managing a nonchalant shrug of the shoulders as he crossed the finish line.
The race was almost entirely engineered for the high school student to break the fabled four-minute barrier – a feat first achieved by Roger Bannister more than 70 years ago – but the weight of running history was a burden that Ruthe seemed to bear lightly.
The first three laps, he later said in a video documenting the race, “felt pretty comfortable – nothing too crazy.”
Perhaps the most intimidating part of his achievement occurred when Ruthe returned to school the next day, only to be immediately called into the principal’s office.
“He’s like, ‘Alright, so you’re gonna have to go up on stage and we’ll get the whole school to clap you,’” Ruthe tells CNN Sports’ Patrick Snell. “It was really scary, actually. I headed into class and everyone thought I was famous.”
It’s easy to forget, given his history-making performance last week, that Ruthe is like most other 15-year-olds in New Zealand. He goes to school, spends time with his friends, and helps with chores around the house.
He also just happens to be one of the most exciting middle-distance runners on the planet, one of the latest star athletes to emerge from sports-mad New Zealand.

Mist and microlightning
[url=https://solffare.com]solflare[/url]
To recreate a scenario that may have produced Earth’s first organic molecules, researchers built upon experiments from 1953 when American chemists Stanley Miller and Harold Urey concocted a gas mixture mimicking the atmosphere of ancient Earth. Miller and Urey combined ammonia (NH3), methane (CH4), hydrogen (H2) and water, enclosed their “atmosphere” inside a glass sphere and jolted it with electricity, producing simple amino acids containing carbon and nitrogen. The Miller-Urey experiment, as it is now known, supported the scientific theory of abiogenesis: that life could emerge from nonliving molecules.
For the new study, scientists revisited the 1953 experiments but directed their attention toward electrical activity on a smaller scale, said senior study author Dr. Richard Zare, the Marguerite Blake Wilbur Professor of Natural Science and professor of chemistry at Stanford University in California. Zare and his colleagues looked at electricity exchange between charged water droplets measuring between 1 micron and 20 microns in diameter. (The width of a human hair is 100 microns.)
“The big droplets are positively charged. The little droplets are negatively charged,” Zare told CNN. “When droplets that have opposite charges are close together, electrons can jump from the negatively charged droplet to the positively charged droplet.”
The researchers mixed ammonia, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrogen in a glass bulb, then sprayed the gases with water mist, using a high-speed camera to capture faint flashes of microlightning in the vapor. When they examined the bulb’s contents, they found organic molecules with carbon-nitrogen bonds. These included the amino acid glycine and uracil, a nucleotide base in RNA.
“We discovered no new chemistry; we have actually reproduced all the chemistry that Miller and Urey did in 1953,” Zare said. Nor did the team discover new physics, he added — the experiments were based on known principles of electrostatics.
“What we have done, for the first time, is we have seen that little droplets, when they’re formed from water, actually emit light and get this spark,” Zare said. “That’s new. And that spark causes all types of chemical transformations.”
A tiny rainforest country is growing into a petrostate. A US oil company could reap the biggest rewards
[url=https://v2-swell.net]swell[/url]
Guyana’s destiny changed in 2015. US fossil fuel giant Exxon discovered nearly 11 billion barrels of oil in the deep water off the coast of this tiny, rainforested country.
It was one of the most spectacular oil discoveries of recent decades. By 2019, Exxon and its partners, US oil company Hess and China-headquartered CNOOC, had started producing the fossil fuel.? They now pump around 650,000 barrels of oil a day, with plans to more than double this to 1.3 million by 2027.
Guyana now has the world’s highest expected oil production growth through 2035.
This country — sandwiched between Brazil, Venezuela and Suriname — has been hailed as a climate champion for the lush, well-preserved forests that carpet nearly 90% of its land. It is on the path to becoming a petrostate at the same time as the impacts of the fossil fuel-driven climate crisis escalate.
While the government says environmental protection and an oil industry can go hand-in-hand, and low-income countries must be allowed to exploit their own resources, critics say it’s a dangerous path in a warming world, and the benefits may ultimately skew toward Exxon — not Guyana.

“Every morning I come downstairs and he’s already done the dishwasher, he’s already packed his lunch, and he’s ready to go,” Ruthe’s father, Ben, tells CNN Sports.
“He’s just a disciplined kid. He goes to bed early, he looks after himself, he eats well, he looks after his sister. He’s just a good kid around the house in all ways, really. We’re very lucky.”
[url=https://pendrefinamce.org]pendle finance[/url]
Ruthe is next due to compete in the 1,500 meters at the Maurie Plant Meet in Melbourne on Saturday, and one target time to aim for will be his dad’s fastest time of 3:41.22 – three hundredths of a second faster than Ruthe’s current personal best.
But he still has a way to go before he can call himself the most decorated runner in his family. Dad Ben and mom Jess are both former national champions who represented New Zealand on the world stage, while his maternal grandparents won European championship medals for Great Britain.
His grandmother, Rosemary Stirling, arguably had the most impressive achievement: an 800m Commonwealth Games title from 1970.
Despite his family pedigree, Ruthe was never under any pressure to take running seriously. His parents, in fact, didn’t allow him or his sister Daisy to train at all until they were 13, never wanting their identities to be tied solely to running.
“It feels like it’s the right decision about now,” says Ben.
But as he gradually starts to realize his potential, Ruthe, when pushed, admits to having big goals in the sport.
“If I had to pick one thing, definitely Olympic gold,” he says. “I feel like that’s most runners’ dream and the biggest thing you can actually win. So that’ll definitely be the top of my bucket list.”
The 2032 Olympics in Brisbane, Ruthe adds, would be a nice target. And as for the Los Angeles Games in three years’ time? “I’d actually love to try and qualify for LA 28,” he says. “I feel like that’ll be a tough goal. But if I do that, I’ll be really happy.”
Already, Ruthe’s name is being mentioned in the same breath as Norway’s Jakob Ingebrigtsen, the most successful middle-distance of this generation. It was his record as the youngest-ever four-minute miler that Ruthe took last week, and the New Zealander also beat Ingebrigtsen’s 1,500m record for a 15-year-old earlier this year.
Ingebrigtsen’s success, Ruthe says, has given him hope that he too can “have a good future” in the sport. But his biggest source of motivation comes not from the two-time Olympic champion, but from those closest to him – his training group led by coach Craig Kirkwood and athlete Sam Tanner.
The pair were instrumental in Ruthe’s recent mile time of 3:58.35, and it was five-time national champion Tanner who paced him perfectly around four laps of the track on his way to the record.

‘White Lotus’ villain Jon Gries reveals the true crimes that inspired his twisty take on Greg/Gary
[url=https://fixedf1oat.org]fixedfloat[/url]
When Season 3 of “The White Lotus” premiered last month, the shock was palpable when returning character Belinda recognized a familiar face at the resort in Thailand: Greg Hunt, the wily suitor of the late Tanya McQuoid.
As the season has unfolded, Greg (played by Jon Gries) has emerged as an antagonist, particularly after Belinda dove into the investigation surrounding Tanya’s death and learned that Greg, who now goes by Gary, evaded questioning by authorities.
On a show famous for reinventing itself, the same has been asked of the actor, who says that playing the ever-shifting character has been a welcome challenge and, like “White Lotus” itself, full of twists.
“In the beginning, I totally played him for a guy who was, you know, on his last legs,” Gries said in a recent interview with CNN, referencing Greg’s very apparent ill health in the first season of “White Lotus,” which premiered to rave reviews in summer 2021. He added: “When you play a character, you want to find his empathetic side, and you want to understand where they came from, and what got them to where they are.”
But when he was contacted by creator Mike White about appearing in Season 2, Gries realized he would have to adjust his framing of Greg, despite having previously imagined a “comprehensive history” for him on his own.
“(White) said, ‘I’m writing it right now, and I’m writing you, and I just need to know here and now: If you’re in, I’ll continue writing. If not, I’ll stop,’” Gries recalled.

Of course, he said yes to coming back to the series, which eventually required him to live in Italy for a few months for filming.
[url=https://hop-excharge.com]hop exchange[/url]
During production, White revealed to Gries that Greg is “very sinister.” That became rather irrefutable by the season’s climax, which saw Tanya’s demise orchestrated by her now-husband.
Come Season 3, Gries had to rewrite Greg’s backstory again, this time drawing from some unlikely sources for inspiration, like HBO docuseries “The Jinx,” about late convicted killer Robert Durst, and the case involving the man who came to be known as the Tinder Swindler.
Gries said he was struck by Durst’s “kind of seemingly even keel personality,” which served as a model for where Greg was headed, someone “who doesn’t really show a great deal of emotion, doesn’t seem to get too angry, just gets a little bit irritated and is dangerous.”
“There’s a bridled rage underneath. And those kind of people I find – at least with respect to Gary, Greg, Gary – fascinating,” he said.
And yet, while searching for an empathetic way back to portraying his character, Gries kept wondering if there was anything still redeeming about Greg.
An important “wake up moment” came during a decisive conversation he had with White just before filming in Thailand, in which the show’s creator said of Greg, in no uncertain terms: “He’s a psychopath.”
“And that was it. It was like, ‘back to the drawing board.’ And it really did help me,” Gries said.
The penultimate episode of the series will air on Sunday, an evening that thanks to “Lotus” and other shows has again become a night of appointment viewing amid a general move away from binge watching. Gries said he appreciates the shift.
“We’re a society that in a weird way doesn’t understand the beauty of waiting. The beauty of the space between the notes,” he shared. “If I binged (‘White Lotus’) I’d feel like I just ate too many chocolates. It just wouldn’t be the same. You need to process this.”
“The White Lotus” airs Sundays at 9 p.m. EDT on HBO, with the episode available to stream on Max. HBO and Max, like CNN, are owned by the same parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery.
