Weekend Oily Tip! - Waking Up Early...

It happens to all of us occasionally.  Your children wake up WAY earlier than you want them to.  They don't care that it's the weekend! I have found some all natural products to help you get going and stay going through the day even though you didn't get the sleep you desired.

1.  NingXia Red - I like taking a shot (1-2 oz) of NingXia Red when I get up in the morning (or as soon as I remember and have a chance!).  Young Living states that, "NingXia Red is a whole-body nutrient infusion featuring wolfberry puree, superfruit extracts and citrus essential oils.  Its balanced ingredients will energize, fortify and revitalize the body from head to toe!"  When taken regularly, NingXia Red may help prevent against oxidative stress and it may support normal cellular function and eye health.  It's great for all ages!  My kids love it!  I even made ice pops out of NingXia Red!  I'll have to post about that soon.  Talk about a healthy summer treat!

2.  Essential Oils - Once I have a chance to change out of my pajamas, I roll on my Get Up & Go combo of Young Living Essential Oils.  My customized blend is quite invigorating and uses, Orange Essential Oil, Wintergreen Essential Oil and YL's trademarked blend En-R-Gee Essential Oil topped with a carrier oil (I have been using Castor Oil a lot lately).  I apply this combo along the Triple Warmer Meridian, on the Chakras and Organ Reflex and on the Neurovascular and Vitaflex Points for the Thyroid, Pituitary and Adrenal Glands.  Supporting the Thyroid, Pituitary and Adrenal Glands may help to give you the energy you need too!  Depending on the type of day it is, I may apply more than once.  Sometimes I use my Get Up & Go roller 2-3 times throughout the day!

3.  NingXia Nitro - When I'm starting to feel that afternoon slump, or shortly before, I'll have a tube of NingXia Nitro.  Its convenient size makes it great for on the go!  YL states, "Formulated with an exclusive blend of pure essential oils, botanical extracts, and Bioenergy D-Ribose, NingXia Nitro is a great support for body and mind. Naturally occurring caffeine helps increase athletic performance and endurance, boosts energy and provides a daily pick-me up."  This is such a better alternative to chemical & sugar laden energy drinks.  And this works too!  If drinking it straight from the tube is a bit awkward, it can be added to orange juice, or just squeezed into a small glass.

So give these a try the next time your kids force you out of bed before you're ready!  Let me know what you think!

WEEKEND OILY TIP! - STAYING ON TOP OF YOUR GAME

No one has time to be run-down as the weekend starts, let alone with a major holiday quickly approaching!!!  Here are some quick and easy things to try to start feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the tasks at hand!

In October, I posted So Now It Is Fall....  I briefly mentioned how to enhance your tea to help you feel better.  But there is more!  There is a delicious drink that is pumped full of wonderful antioxidants!  Do both to promote wellness so you're not stuck in bed or on the couch all weekend!

NingXia Red is wellness in a bottle!  The ingredients are listed below, and Wow!  There are so many fruits and essential oils which are full of goodness!  I first sampled NingXia Red when I received my Essential Oils Premium Starter Kit.  Two 1oz packets come in the PSK.  NingXia Red has a very unique taste and is a little thick.  It can be mixed into orange juice or drank out of a glass by itself or with some of your favorite essential oils added!  After a couple of months of not having NingXia Red, I finally got more, a 2-pack of bottles (shown in the picture above).  

Many people drink NingXia Red daily for the extra boost of wellness and energy! Since consuming it regularly, I have found that drinking 1-2 oz of NingXia Red daily in the early afternoon gets me through the rest of the day without crashing and feeling like I need a nap. Being a mostly stay at home mom, I've realized that by the early afternoon I'm done already! I can't have that though! There are still a lot of hours left in the day for me to be mom before I can sleep! So I have been pleasantly surprised by not having the urge to nap anymore! Honestly, I haven't changed my exercise routine (there isn't one to speak of... yet... but that's another subject...) or my nighttime sleeping habitats (still usually only getting 5-7 hours of sleep each night). I'm attributing my new found alertness and wakefulness to NingXia Red! There is no turning back now. I'm finally doing something good and healthy for my body and I like it!  

Looking back, it would have been awesome had I known about NingXia Red when I was younger.  I was always tired and falling asleep in class while in high school and college, at professional continuing education events and even work!  It was embarrassing!  The to-go packets would be perfect for these situations!  

PS. I have also heard of people drinking NingXia Red to help them feel like themselves again after a night of drinking...  I'll have to report more on that later...
