*she doesnt brush her teeth, only mouth washes..
*she will wear the same pair of pants for 2 weeks in a row (but she has like 10 pairs of pants)

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
This is what I would do.
About the body odor: go shopping with her. Buy deodorant and say something like "I love this kind. It makes your skin really smooth! You should try it!" - that way you aren't coming out and telling her that she has body odor.
About the teeth: invite her to spend the night at your house. When you're getting ready for bed, you'll see that she isnt brushing her teeth and that shes only using mouthwash. Say something like "If I were you, I would start brushing my teeth. Mouthwash is okay but when I went to the dentist I learned that it isnt very good for your teeth if you just use mouthwash because you need to completely clean your teeth."
About the jeans: while she is at your house, let her try on some of your clothes and when she trys on your jeans, say something like "You can borrow them. You should wear them to school tomorrow. You have a lot of jeans but you don't wear all of them. You should mix it up a bit!"
About working out: work out with her, then get a healthy snack and offer her some. Say "I used to eat icecream and other stuff after excercising but it sort of cancels out all of the progress I made that day with excercising."
Hope I helped. If you need anything else, leave it in my inbox.

Well you could just drop little hints... like
"such-and-such deodarant is the best!"
Or something like that..... and if that doesnt work just if your sleeping over be like come with me, arent you going to brush your teeth? Stuff like that... and about the clothes thing. When she's wearing a certain pair of jeans be like "I love those ______ pants you have!!! You should wear them tomorrow" stuff like that. And about the ice cream and the working out.... I wouldnt mention that people are sensitive about their wieght.

Have a sleepover one night and say lets go do some make overs, let her do it to you too so she doesnt feel like your trying to be like controlling or anything, and just mention you have this great deodorant she should try, and say why dont u wear your other pants... they look soo cut on you, just what ever you tell her try not to be blunt about it! take it from my experinces, hope i helped xoxo tara

Talk to her but be nice when you do.Tell her that the things she does isn't healthy and when she gets older it could turn into bad health problems.Just talk to her!

Wow. That's a tough one. You really need to say something as nicely as you can without hurting her feelings. My guess is she just hasn't been taught very well. Maybe you could try doing a "make over" on her just for fun. While doing it say encouraging things. Like maybe...this is the best deodorant. Guys really love the smell of this perfume. It smells really good on you. This toothpaste is great...have you tried it. Why don't you wear these pants and this shirt together tomorrow, theses the nest day...Explain how eating ice cream is undoing all those calories she just worked so hard to burn off. Use your imagination. Try to make her feel really good about the changes you make in your makeover. Bring some make up along and experiment yourself so she doesn't feel picked on. Hope it helps. Sorry I rambled on. :)
