Wake up before you go-go

If the weather in your area is anything like the weather in mine, spring slipped in and then slipped out again. It certainly makes it tough to get out of bed, with days of sunshine turned to gloomy clouds and sprinkling rain. What keeps me awake through the morning monotony of hit the alarm, shower, get dressed, breakfast, makeup, check email? You probably say, "caffeine!" But quite the contrary. A good aromatherapy shower gel is what gives me a kick.

Think I'm joking? The potent essential oil powers of a natural body wash from Nature's Basin will give you an a.m. boost. Organic aromatherapeutic oils like Canadian fir and lemongrass provide an invigorating, eco-friendly surge as you shower. Canadian fir is balsam fir, and it's a bit sweeter than the average forest scent. The fresh aroma grounds and uplifts you at the same time, releasing blocked energy. Lemongrass is originally from India, and is one of the top selling essential oils in the world for its nerve-soothing, stress-releasing scent.

Give Pangea Canadian Pine and White Sage Body Wash or Awaken Body Wash from Erbaviva a try, and just think, you might even be able to quit that coffee!
