Summarize the following:
Although it isn't always true that dangerous people look disheveled, it is an extremely common stereotype. For this reason, it's very important that you always look neat and well-groomed.  Wash your hair regularly and get it cut often so that it looks neat. Always wear clean clothes. Bathe every day to avoid smelling badly. You should also wear deodorant, and cologne/body spray/perfume if you'd like. People generally find attractive people less creepy than unattractive people. While you should not go to great lengths to change your appearance just to satisfy other people, you may want to consider taking some small steps to make yourself more attractive.  People tend to find under-eye bags creepy. If you have these, there are a variety of ways to minimize their appearance, including reducing your alcohol and sodium intake, treating your seasonal allergies, sleeping on your back, removing your makeup before bed, using sunscreen, quitting smoking, and applying a cool compress to your eyes.  Bulging eyes are also generally considered creepy. If you're a woman, try applying dark eye shadow to your lids and curling your eyelashes to help them appear less bulging. The way you dress is the aspect of your appearance that you have the most control over. Because people tend to associate anything out of the ordinary with creepiness, try to keep your clothing neutral and on-trend.  Steer clear of clothing that doesn't match or doesn't fit you well. It's also best to avoid anything that looks like it should be worn as part of a costume, like a cape. Don't wear clothing with slogans that promote violence or dehumanize women, as this may make people think you are potentially violent, and thus creepy.  There's nothing wrong with wearing clothes that express your personality, but if you're really concerned about other people thinking you're creepy, be careful about wearing anything too unique. If you're unsure whether an outfit will make you look creepy, try asking a trusted friend or relative what they think. You don't need to be extremely fashion forward to not look creepy. A simple pair of jeans and a t-shirt is usually a safe choice.

summary: Practice good hygiene. Look your best. Dress well.

Like any medical issue, the best place to start is to make sure your dog is strong and healthy. This means you need to ensure your dog is eating the right amount of good food, getting the right amount of exercise, having the least amount of stress, and getting lots and lots of love. Fleas seems to know which dogs are sick and which are healthy, and prefer the sick dogs (they taste better). Keeping your dog healthy will give your dog a better chance of not getting fleas or being able to fight them off. A mixture of 10 drops of certain essential oils in 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of olive oil can be used as a spray to help repel fleas from your dog. As with other treatments, this may not work for all dogs. If you don’t notice any changes in your dog after three to four weeks of treatment, it’s not working and its use should be discontinued.  The following essential oils can be used: cedar, tea tree, citronella, lavender, eucalyptus, and pennyroyal.[citation needed]  Note that both eucalyptus and pennyroyal are toxic to cats; cats have limited ability to cope with essential oils. If you have cats in your home, use an option that does not require essential oils. If your dog is already infested with fleas, and you’re working to remove them, give him a bath at least once every week. For washing, use either a non-insecticidal shampoo or soap, or use an unscented hypoallergenic shampoo. Shampoos and soaps with fewer additives will help prevent your dog’s skin from drying out due to the frequent baths. And make sure to completely rinse off any shampoo or soap residue from your dog. If you aren’t sure which shampoo or soap to use, consult with your veterinarian or vet tech for a recommendation. They may even sell some shampoos at the vet clinic. Use a flea comb on your dog as often as possible to check how effective your flea removal efforts have been. Focus on combing around your dog’s tail, stomach, and face. Don’t just look for adult fleas, but also look for eggs (which are tiny white dots) and feces (which are tiny black dots).  If you find anything on your dog, you can comb it off and drop it in a glass of water. The water will kill the fleas and the eggs. Note — Flea feces is composed mostly of your dog’s blood. When you drop this into water, it may turn the water a dark brown or even red colour. Do not be alarmed. This is actually a good way to confirm what you found was really flea feces. If your dog is infested with fleas, you will want to limit the areas of the house he is allowed to go. Flea eggs can very easily make their way onto fabrics and into carpets and become dormant until the perfect environment (i.e. your dog) comes along in the future. If possible, keep your dog in areas of your house with the least amount of fabrics and fibres (e.g. kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, mud room, etc.) until the flea problem is resolved.

summary: Ensure your dog is healthy. Use an olive oil and essential oil spray on your dog. Give your dog a bath at least once a week. Comb your dog every day with a flea comb. Do not allow your dog to wander the house.

Never agree to a living situation without meeting up in person first. You want to make sure there's good chemistry and the person doesn't seem unsafe or unfriendly. Meet up in a neutral location, like a coffee shop, and talk over your expectations for things like chores, bills, and so on.  If you're showing your apartment, meet up at a neutral location first before bringing over the potential roommate. It's a good idea to have a friend or family member in the apartment with you for safety. Some roommates simply aren't compatible. Think about your personal living habits and ask about the other person's habits. Make sure the two of you have a similar lifestyle so you won't clash too much.  Talk about your general lifestyle. Do you love loud music and having people over? If so, you may not hit it off with a quiet, introverted roommate. Hobbies and leisurely activities can also sometimes be an issue. For example, if your new roommate watches a lot of television, this could drive up the cable bill. Chores are a common reason roommates fight, so make sure to ask your potential roomie whether they're a neat person. You should also confess to your own cleaning habits. If you occasionally let dishes sit in the sink overnight, for example, be upfront about this.  If you're visiting an apartment to potentially move into, pay attention to whether it's clean. If you notice a lot of dust, grime, and dirty dishes, this may not be the ideal place to live. If you're having someone move in with you, ask them why they're looking for a new place. This can be a good way to identify red flags. If someone has a reasonable need to move, such as wanting to be closer to work, this is a good sign. However, people who cite things like roommate drama may be difficult to live with. Asks about a potential roommate's income and make sure it exceeds your rent and bills. You don't want to be left lending your roommate money each month for rent. In addition to a decent income, make sure their work is steady. If your roommate is working a temp job, for example, they may not be able to make rent in a few months.
summary: Meet up in person. Ask about a potential roommate's lifestyle. Learn the person's cleaning habits. Figure out why they're looking for a new place. Make sure they can cover costs.
