Nope!
I'm not a morning person. I've tried hard to be... I've had plenty of years working jobs that started before the sun came up and even then... peeling my eyes open and willing myself into getting up and out of the bed by the 10th alarm round was a regular awful occurrence. Plus having babies basically equates to about 5 years of rising with the sun. So you'd think I'd be a morning Pro... but nope. Still not happening. I'd just accepted that it won't come natural to me to wake up singing and skipping like a Disney Princess... Mine would look more like frazzled hair, pillow crease marks across my face, and a general "everyone just shhhhhhh until I have some coffee" demeanor. Since Young Living came into my life though..... Woooo! When I get out the tried and true oils for "pep in your step".... I'm up and ready to tackle anything... the laundry pile the size of my 8 year old... moving couches to sweep & mop, crushing it at business tasks, you name it! I know having energy & clearing the brain fog or shaking off the sleepiness can be tough for lots of you too, so I'm excited to share some of my go-to products!
Here's my Fab 4!
Ningxia Nitro
Boosts energy without the crash
Promotes mental alertness
Enhances athletic performance and endurance
I take a Nitro shot before teaching a class, having a meeting, on a day that I'm really dragging, or before a work out. My hubby Dennis' favorite is as a natural Pre-Work Out. He's had some of the best workouts ever after his Nitro.
Take a shot of Nitro when your early-morning routine demands alertness and a quick start to the day—especially after a restless night’s sleep!*
Keep Nitro on hand to help you stay your sharpest through the workday.*
Store Nitro in your gym bag for a boost during your workout.*
Energize during all-day outdoor adventures. You can store Nitro on the boat, in your daypack, or in your ski jacket.*
Pack Nitro while travelling to help you stay alert and upbeat during all-day walking, sightseeing, and tours.*
What's in it? Proprietary Nitro™ Energy blend: D-Ribose, Green tea extract, Mulberry leaf extract, Korean ginseng extract, Choline (as Choline bitartrate), Proprietary Nitro Alert™ oil blend: Vanilla planifolia (Vanilla)† oil, Chocolate oil, Yerba mate oil, Mentha spicata (Spearmint)† oil, Mentha piperita (Peppermint)† oil, Myristica fragrans (Nutmeg)† oil, Piper nigrum (Black Pepper)† oil, Wolfberry seed oil.

Grapefruit
Increase in energy
Promotes mental alertness
Metabolism support
Mood Booster
I could go on & on! This oil is one that I go through regularly. It's part of my daily routine & when I forget it, I notice! I enjoy the extra energy, the clearer mind, & have been using it in my 60 Day Challenge as part of my fitness regimen. It's inexpensive & so incredible!
Use it as a dietary supplement: 2-3 drops in your Ningxia Red shot, a shot of water, or a veggie capsule.
Use 2-3 drops in your diffuser or in the palms of your hands for a really bright & uplifting scent that also provides a great "pick me up".
Peppermint
Peppermint is another go to oil in our household! In fact, I never leave home without it! I love it for its cooling effect when I'm tired, overheated, experiencing stomach troubles, or on my the back of my neck, behind my ears, and on my temples when I wake up with tension or discomfort from sleeping poorly, bad posture at the computer, or forgetting to wear my glasses.
For a quick boost of alertness:
I'll inhale it straight from the bottle, usually 3-5 times.
Diffuse 2-3 drops with Grapefruit EO.
Rub 1-2 drops on back of neck (wise to dilute with a carrier oil if you're not used to Peppermint EO, have sensitive skin or might be uncomfortable with the "icy hot" kind of feeling.)
En-r-gee
Improves energy
Promotes mental alertness
Promotes healthy circulation
This one speaks for itself!
Best ways to use this incredible oil include:
Rub 1-2 drops on back of neck & ears.
Diffuse 2-3 drops or inhale deeply from bottle 3-5 times.
What's in it?: Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), juniper (Juniperus osteosperma and J. scopulorum), lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus), nutmeg (Myristica fragrans), Idaho balsam fir (Abies balsamea), clove (Syzygium aromaticum), and black pepper (Piper nigrum).
