Breath

Assuming everyone does the basic brush at least once a day and use mouth wash.. I just want to throw my 2 cents in. You know how, if you leave good in the refrigerator it eventually starts to smell? Well, your toothbrush doesn't really get into certain areas well so there are places where little chunks of food might get stuck.. And if it stays there for awhile, it is going to cause your breath to smell. So flossing is important.

Also, if you feel like you need more help. Take a shot of Apple Cider Vinegar every morning. It supposedly helps kill the bacteria that causes bad breath.

Keep floss in your desk, at work. After lunch, get in the habit of using the floss. Always keep Altoids around.

This shouldn't be hard. Take a shower at least once a day and use deodorant. Some people might need something a little extra. You can also put lotion on your face, hands, arms and legs.. It keeps your skin moisturized and it usually has a nice scent. If you use cologne, I suggest spraying it so that you get half the spray on you. You don't want people to smell you coming and you don't want to get in a room and then BAM people smell the strong smell of whatever you have on. You want it to be just enough where people will smell it if they are close to you. And not everyone should wear cologne, make sure your nature scent mixes with whatever cologne you wear.

Body Hair

I recommend shaving under your arms, especially in the summer. When you sweat, it gets all into your hair and if you are not aware... And you take a quick shower, you can still have some of that sweat smell linger. And a hairy chest isn't cool anymore.. For those who are not aware.
