This past week was the wonderful day of the month where that magazine shows up in our mailbox. This week's cover? "Energize Your Life." Complete with a big orange flower. My thought was, "Alright!! I could ALWAYS use simple, easy, doable tips to get a little boost!" The one thing I have read so far that am implementing is the scent of citrus in the morning (or peppermint anytime). My new, FABULOUS face soap smells like grapefruit, and I make a conscious effort to take a big wiff in my shower in the morning. Oh yes, it's energizing for sure! 
My second thought? "They've had this before!! And I kept it!!" I went to the back room, the dreaded, packed, messy back room, and went to exactly the place I thought it was. And there it was. In all its citrus, orange glory! This article gives many tips, and the only one of which I actually used was the stretching in the morning. Dr. Oz suggested that a while back, too, in a show I saw when I was on maternity leave. There's nothing like taking a few minutes to really wake up your stiff muscles. The current Real Simple issue organizes it by time, so you can use certain tips in the morning/lunchtime/afternoon slump/etc....And even at night to tell you how to direct your energy so that you fall into a more productive sleep.But one tip from each article ain't gonna fly. So I WILL read them, and slowly implement things I want to, though I think one at a time is best. And hopefully, I'll remember to share my findings with you! I kept last year's orange fruit cover in hopes of implementing more. Now with both of them glaring me in the face on my nightstand, I hope to follow through better this time!
