Article: Before you go to bed, decide what you will wear tomorrow. This will keep you from digging through your closet, trying on a bunch of clothes, and making a mess. Once you make a choice, lay out the shoes, accessories, and anything else you plan to wear. Check the weather and your schedule to make sure your outfit is appropriate. Do you have an important meeting the next day? Is it going to be hot and humid or rainy? Sleep is important for your mental and physical health. Try to get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep each night. While you are sleeping, blood flow to your skin increases. Adequate sleep will keep your eyes from being puffy and keep you from waking up with dull skin. It's important for you to develop a regular sleeping schedule. Over time, not getting enough sleep causes your skin to age and makes you more prone to wrinkles. Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase. These materials are less drying for your skin and will keep you from waking up with creases on your face. Some people may need more than 9 hours of sleep of night or less than 7 hours of sleep a night. Adjust the time based on your needs and how you feel when you wake up in the morning. Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine because they can keep you awake or disrupt your natural sleep cycle. Try not to nap too close to your bedtime or you will have difficulty falling and staying asleep. Your skin is comprised primarily of water and needs to be hydrated from both the inside and outside. If you do not drink enough water, your skin can become dry and flaky. Aim for 8 glasses of water a day to keep your skin hydrated and looking healthy. Moisturize your skin after a bath, shower, and when you wash your hands. Your skin absorbs moisture best when it is damp. Always wash your face before you go to bed. During the day, your skin is exposed to pollution, dirt, sweat, and bacteria. Washing your face at night will remove all of the day's gunk from your face. Going to bed with a dirty face can cause an acne breakout and leave you with dull looking skin in the morning. Everyone should wash their face at night, but this is particularly important if you wear makeup. Sleeping in makeup can clog your pores and lead to breakouts. Nighttime is a great time to moisturize your skin. Although you are sleeping, your body is still working to repair your tissues. The increased blood flow you experience when you sleep helps your skin better absorb the moisture that you apply to your skin. This is the time to use heavier, thicker moisturizers. Moisturizers are best when applied to clean, slightly damp skin. Try to do this after you bathe and wash your face for the night. Sleeping in a bun is good way to have good hair day when you wake up. If you have longer hair, put your hair in a ponytail and wrap it into a twist. When you wake up in the morning, you will have soft waves in your hair. If your hair is not long enough for one ponytail, try doing little mini-buns all over your head for the same effect. Tie the ponytails loosely to prevent creases in your hair. If you shower at night, you can braid your wet hair to add some texture. You can also wash your hair at night and apply dry shampoo in the morning if you have oily hair. If you are prone to frizzy hair, wrap your hair with a silk scarf or sleep on a silk pillowcase.

Article: Place petroleum jelly (such as Vaseline) and your mint extract or oil into a glass dish or jar. Ensure that the container is microwave safe and will allow you to mix the ingredients in it easily. Use pure peppermint extract or pure peppermint essential oil, or another type of mint like spearmint if you prefer. Add this in a few drops at a time, as you will only need a small amount to scent and flavor the lip balm, and too much can create a burning sensation. Determine the quantity of ingredients to use based on the size of your container or the amount you're going to make. If you're only filling one small lip balm pot or tube, you may only need about a tablespoon. Add a little color to your lips while also hydrating them by adding tint to your lip balm. Scrape off the top of a lipstick you don't use and add it to your petroleum jelly and mint extract or oil. You can also scrape a small amount of eyeshadow, blush, or another pigmented beauty product into your lip balm to create color. Food coloring or another edible dye will also work to color the lip balm, but note that even one drop will be a very concentrated color if you're only making a small quantity of lip balm. Place your glass container with the petroleum jelly, mint extract/oil, and tint (if using) into a microwave. Heat for about two minutes, or until completely melted, then stir. Microwaves vary, so use your best judgment when heating your ingredients. It may take more or less time to melt the lip balm, but you want it to be fully liquid so it's easy to pour. Stir with a wooden chopstick, stir stick, or another utensil that will not melt in the hot liquid and that you can easily dispose of or clean afterwards. Use oven mitts to remove the container from the microwave, and be very careful with the hot contents. Children should have an adult complete this step.

Article: Serving underhand, crouch your body down as if you were going to bump. Have your right foot slightly in front of left. Make sure you're not standing up straight. Say you are right handed. Hold the ball out in front of you in your left hand. Pick a patch on the ball to hit. Make your right hand into a fist. Swing your arm back to shoulder height, and propel it forward like a pendulum. Some people prefer to hit it on the part of their arm where they bump it, because it can give more control, but it doesn't give as much power. Do what works best for you. Crouch, aim, and propel. That was easy, right? Make sure you don't bounce, throw the ball before, then hit it (you'll take out a ceiling light). You just need to hold onto it.
