Washing your hair too soon will shorten the life of your keratin treatment. If you can wait a week before getting your hair wet, even better! Try using a dry shampoo if the lack of lathering your locks is bothering you. Avoid using any ponytail holders such as elastics or even hair clips, if possible. Try a fabric bandanna if you want to keep your hair out of your face. Using hair ties or clips may cause a crease in your hair. However, this may not be the case if you wear a hair tie loosely. Your keratin treatment may last longer if you avoid styling or drying your hair with heat. Wash your hair sparingly as needed with shampoo only (skip conditioner). Use a sulfate-free shampoo.

Disney allows you to search for available rooms at all of the Walt Disney World Resort hotels for the dates of your stay. Because you'll be staying at a hotel inside the park, you can cut down the price of travel to/from and combine your room with food vouchers for a reduced rate. The hotels vary by price, but you can filter your search to prefer the cheaper options. To do this, go to http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/ and then click on the link that says, "Try the Vacation Package Guide". On the Vacation Package Guide page, you will see four different categories (Vacation Pace, Hotel Experience, Dining Style, Things to Do) with options to choose from. To filter for cheaper hotels, drag the tab for Hotel Experience over to "Basic" (as opposed to "Luxurious"). You can also use the "Budget" tab to set your budget for the entire trip to the low end of the spectrum. This will cause Disney to find cheaper options for all of the different categories. Alternatively, you can find the cheaper options on the Disney website by clicking "Places to Stay" at the top of the homepage and then selecting "Disney Value Resort Hotels" on the next page. This will take you to a list of the cheapest Disney hotels, and offers a "Compare" feature so that you can view them side-by-side. It is almost guaranteed that you will find cheaper rooms at hotels outside the park than you will inside. If the atmosphere of the park hotel isn't a primary goal, you should try searching for local hotels that will have discounted prices. Look for hotels that are close enough to the park that you don't end up using the money you saved on transportation expenses. Try searching in these areas: Disney Main gate - Celebration West Disney Area Sea World - Int'l Drive - Convention Center Downtown Disney - Lake Buena Vista

Set a specific bedtime for yourself that is eight hours before your alarm normally goes off. Continue this bedtime ritual for several weeks (including weekends). Over time you will start getting a good understanding of your body's natural sleep requirements. Keep a notebook next to the bed where you can log each day when you fell asleep, how easily you fell asleep, whether you woke up before your alarm went off or not - notate any and all information about your sleep/wake cycle. After establishing your natural sleep patterns, you can start training your body to wake up earlier, since you'll know how much sleep your body naturally wants. Our bodies make and secrete into our bloodstream a hormone called melatonin, which stimulates sleep and controls sleep/wake cycles. Melatonin supplements are available to buy over the counter at almost all pharmacies and grocery stores (look in the vitamins and supplements section). To help reset your body's clock, try taking a low dose of melatonin (0.5 to 1.0 milligrams) approximately five hours before bedtime for several days in a row. After a few days of this, your body will reset its internal clock, allowing you to get to sleep earlier and also wake up earlier the next day. Melatonin supplements are generally considered safe for everyone, but always consult your physician before adding a new supplement to your daily intake, especially if you have any serious health conditions or take other medications. Instead of making a drastic change overnight, this method will ease you into being a morning person. Determine what your new wake up time will be and set that as your goal. Keep your current wake up time, and start waking up earlier by one minute each day. Your body's internal clock will begin to naturally reset itself. For some, this method might seem too slow. However, keep in mind that the least jarring and most successful sleep schedule changes happen slowly and gradually. If you want waking up earlier to become habitual for you, maintaining the same schedule on the weekend that you do during the week is a must! The continued repetition of a consistent sleep schedule will ensure that the habit of waking up earlier is established within your body's internal clock. Studies show that having a specific sleep schedule during the week and sleeping later on the weekend to recover can actually cause a person to feel tired and jet-lagged once the new week begins. This throws off all of the progress you made during the week!
