Good day, people of Hive! Welcome to my blog. Today's topic is from Hive-naija. So let's dive into it.
Why Smelling Nice Matters.
Smelling nice or good is an important part of taking good care of our body or selves. Smelling nice isn't just about looking clean; it's about how we feel and how we make others feel. When we smell nice, we feel more confident and positive. It also helps us make a good impression on others, whether we're at work, school, or hanging out with our friends.
On the other hand, if someone around us smells bad, it can make us feel uncomfortable because of the odor. Our sense of smell is so strong that we can smell anything around us, and a strong body odour can distract people and even make them avoid being close to such person by distancing themselves. That's why it's important to pay more attention to how we smell so that people won't be avoiding us.

How to handle people who smell terrible.
(1) If we notice that someone is smelling bad, the best thing to do is keep quiet, because if we talk, the person would be embarrassed or it would be an insult to that person.
(2) If it's a close friend or someone we trust, we might want to tell them how they are smelling. For example, if you guys are alone together, you can tell him/her gently, "Hey, I noticed a strong smell lately, so I thought you'd know.".
(3) If such a person is a good friend of yours and you guys have a close relationship, you could just say it as a joke to lighten the situation. For example, "Do you use locust bean water to bathe?" Make sure it's a joke and not in a mean way.
Tips to always smell nice.

There are a lot of ways to smell nice and good.
(1) We should always stay clean and fresh, and we should take a shower every day by using warm water and soap.
(2) After showering, we must apply deodorant to be able to smell good so that it would prevent us from sweating.
(4) We must always wear clean clothes, especially our undergarments.
There was a friend of mine in my secondary school days who loved wearing pants for two days without washing them, and if I tell her that it's not good that what she's doing can cause body odour for her, she will tell me it's not my pants, so I should shut up.
(5) A little bit of perfume can help us smell even nicer.
(6) Lastly, the most important one is that we must brush our teeth at least twice a day, because bad breath can just as distracting as body odour.
There's this one of my coursemates who is a lady that smells bad. I don't know whether she doesn't use to use roll-on or perfume, or whether she always packs her dirty clothes and cleans them together. I don't know. Anytime she comes to school, the odour is so strong that most of my coursemates don't want to sit besides her, and if they want to address her, they will say the smelling girl that has bad odour.
In conclusion, smelling nice is an important part of personal care that everyone should take seriously. It impacts how we feel about ourselves and how others see us.
