Hello, everyone.
I welcome you to my blog. Personal hygiene is something many people took for granted while growing up as kids, and they grew up to regret making such a grievous mistake. Those days as kids, I had friends that had to be dragged to the bathroom before they took a bath, and it was a flex back then, but now they wish they took personal hygiene more seriously and avoided the drama they have to deal with as adults. One thing with not smelling nice or having bad breath is that no one will tell you; it takes a lot for a person to open up and tell you instead they try to avoid you and only talk in your absence.
Smelling nice is actually one of the many ways anyone can give back to the community; not smelling nice might not inconvenience the one smelling but will definitely inconvenience people around them, making them feel uncomfortable and gasping for fresh air since the bad odor has contaminated the one in the surrounding area. Nobody likes to breathe in bad air, which simply means that nobody would want to hang around a person that does not smell nice, and it is annoying when those with these issues are the ones that love to hang around people, touch them, and love body contact, not knowing that they are inconveniencing the other person.
When you smell nice, you are not just doing it for yourself but for the community at large. You benefit from smelling nice because you can take pride in it, while the community will benefit from having the opportunity to breathe fresh air and not feel uncomfortable or struggle to get fresh air the moment you step in. People avoid people who don't smell nice for mental health. There are people who don't smell nice, and theirs is on another level; you feel like you are getting suffocated the moment they step, and some from miles away you can already smell them. In public places, you will come across different people; some will leave you wishing you came with an oxygen mask, while others will leave you wanting them to stay a little longer so you can keep perceiving how nice they smell.
I take my personal hygiene seriously, which is one way I ensure that I smell nice: regular baths, good deodorants, and perfume that leaves one smelling nice all day long. The best way to deal with people who don't smell nice is either to avoid them, as not so many people will understand when you tell them instead they want to pick a fight or they feel insulted. You can only be bold enough to tell them the truth when you know they will not take it wrongly or when you two are close enough, as not everyone will take a message like this lightly, especially people without understanding. Opening up to a person about how bad they smell is quite risky, so the best way is to avoid and greet from afar for your own good and theirs as well.
