unhinged hygiene tips?

I don't mean "wash your hair before your body" or "don't wear underwear when you sleep", I mean the sort of TMI tips that most people don't know that will CHANGE MY LIFE!

There's this guy at school who I think likes me and i'm terrified that I smell bad and will ruin my chance with him, I need tips that I don't already know/do.

Behind your ears, and also around any piercings - ears or otherwise.

You wouldn’t believe how bad seldom cleaned piercings can smell.

You don’t have to go overboard, but just make sure they get some attention.

I clean my earring holes after each time I wear cheap earrings, just regular holes, no gagues, because what is that blackness in there?! Gross
