Article: Stick a travel-size pack of tissues in your purse or luggage. This is the next closest thing to toilet paper. You know that cardboard tube that's still hanging up on the roll when all the toilet paper is gone? Start peeling the layers of paper off it until you have enough to wipe with. Wet it at the sink to make it soft and comfortable. Flush when done. Although popular among the Romans, this method is no longer considered a great idea. Sponges pick up filth and bacteria quickly, so you'd better know where the sponge has been. After you're done, submerge the sponge in diluted bleach, any product containing quaternary ammonium, or boiling water. Take it out after five minutes.

Carry around a tissue pack. Prepare the cardboard paper roll. Wipe with a sponge.
Article: An important step in overcoming your shyness is practicing with other people to increase your comfort with conversations.  There are many scenarios in which you can interact with strangers in a pleasant and pressure free environment to develop your social confidence.  Approach customer service associates at retail stores to ask for help finding something or to ask an opinion on a product. Say hi to cashiers when cashing out at the grocery store and ask them how their day has been going. Be polite but be brief.  The intention is not to strike up a long lasting conversation but rather to develop experience interacting with people you don’t already know. Once you have strengthened your social skills through brief conversations with strangers, you can move on to having interactions with other people that aren’t necessarily the girl you like.  By starting with other people, the pressure won’t be as great as you don’t need to worry about the possibility of rejection.  Approach people at work or in social occasions that aren’t the girl you like so you can get practice making conversation with people. Comment on something to engage people in conversation.  Try approaching someone at a party and saying, “do you know who plays this song?  I really like it.” Approach someone at work or school to discuss a recent assignment and steer the conversation toward more personal matters.  Try saying something like, “I was going to start working on that last night but then I got caught up in a great show about dolphins.” Practicing conversations in low pressure environments can help you overcome the fear of rejection and get more comfortable talking to people. Regardless of who you are talking to, smiling can make you seem friendlier and more personable.  Making occasional eye contact can demonstrate your confidence, but avoid making prolonged eye contact as that can be unnerving to some people.  Practice smiling and looking people in the eye when you introduce yourself.  It may be difficult at first but doing so can make you seem friendly and confident, which are both things girls often find attractive. Smiling can also serve to make you feel better about the situation that you’re in.  Studies have shown that smiling alters the chemicals in your brain to make you feel happier and more confident.

Practice by talking to people in stores. Move on to small interactions. Smile and make eye contact.
Article: As soon as you get your French bulldog, make your dog part of your family and household. Don't feel like you need to shield it from noisy activities or energetic family members. Just make sure the activity or noise is non-threatening. For example, don't tease your new dog by chasing it with a broom or vacuum. This will cause it to fear the noise or you. Your French bulldog should be comfortable with riding in vehicles. This way, if you ever need to take it to the vet, your dog won't be traumatized. Riding in a car will also introduce your dog to street sights and sounds from the car window. To keep you and your dog safe, your dog should be secured in a harness or carrier while you're driving. Just remember not to take your dog along in the car if it's a very hot or humid day. Dogs can die if left in a hot car, even if left alone for only a few minutes. Choose a dog park so your dog can practice playing with other dogs and interacting with humans. Playing at the park is also a good chance for your dog to burn off some energy. Just be sure that your dog has had its first two distemper vaccines before taking it to a dog park. To prevent dog fighting and keep control over your dog, keep it on a leash. You should try to expose your dog to as many different dogs, people, and sights and sounds as you can. If you feel like your dog needs more interaction, consider signing it up for a socialization or obedience class. Your French bulldog will get personal time with other humans and dogs while getting important training. You can find dog classes at local community centers, through 4-H clubs, or pet shops. You can also ask your vet to recommend socialization classes.
