. Put everything you need in your bookbag the night before. This way you can concentrate on very looking good in the morning and don't have to worry about running around finding your books and homework. If you have to bring a lunch tomorrow, prepare it the night before, too. But don't put that in your backpack you can keep that in the fridge. If there's something that has to be left out (say an art project that has to finish drying), make yourself a note and leave it on top of your backpack to remind yourself in the morning that it hasn't been packed yet. Find an item that you really like such as a shirt, shoes, a belt, a necklace, or even socks. Center your outfit around that item, and piece it together to make it look good. Hang it in a special place or leave it close to your bed. When you wake up, you don't have to rush picking out an outfit in the morning. If you wear a uniform, make sure it is ironed and hung up in your closet. You do not want your clothes to look wrinkled and worn. You should get at least eight hours of sleep every night so you look good and get good grades. Plan your day out so you can get a full night of sleep. Everybody needs a different amount of sleep, but most people fall into the 7 to 10-hour category. In fact, the average teen needs a whopping 9 1/4 hours of sleep to feel rested. Aim for that number as much as possible.

Use a cheese grater to grate the soap into small flakes. For easier cleanup, hold the cheese grater over a bowl and grate the soap right into the bowl. Grating will make the soap easier to process into a powder-like substance. 10 ounces (283 g) of bar soap is roughly equivalent to two bars of soap. Ideal soaps for this recipe include castile soap, Zote laundry soap, and Fels-Naptha. Because the soap may permanently flavor your cheese grater, you may want to use a separate grater for detergent making. Transfer the soak flakes to a food processor. Pulse the soap for one to two minutes, until the flakes have been reduced to a coarse powder. The soap may flavor your food processor as well, so you may want to use a separate one for detergent versus food. If you don't have a food processor, you can add the soap flakes to the detergent as is. Don't process the washing soda and borax in the food processor, as the dust can irritate your lungs. Transfer the powdered soap to a large mixing bowl. Add the washing soda, borax, and essential oil (such as lavender or lemon). Whisk the mixture together to incorporate all the ingredients. You want a uniform powder so that each scoop will contain the same quantity of the different ingredients. Other cleaning and washing ingredients you can add to this mixture include 14 ounces (397 g) of Epsom salt, or 1 pound (454 g) of OxiClean powder. Washing soda, or sodium carbonate, is chemically similar to baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), but washing soda is an inedible alkaline powder that's used for cutting grease and cleaning. When you have finished mixing the detergent, pour the powder into a container with an airtight lid. Good containers include mason jars, clean bottles, or sealable plastic cereal containers. When it's time to do a load of laundry, add 1 tablespoon of powder to a high-efficiency washer, or 2 tablespoons to a regular washer. Because the powder contains grated bar soap, it will work best with warm and hot washes.
