After a long, cold winter our energy levels may be lacking. These 6 quick pick-me ups will help boost your energy level in no time!
- Take a quick walk- the sunlight increases the production of serotonins, which lifts your mood!
- Take a 3-minute time-out. Find a quiet corner, close your eyes and meditate or pray to get yourself refocused.
- Turn off the TV or computer an hour before heading off to bed (how many of you mom bloggers do that?!)
- Carry nuts with you for a healthy snack on-the-go! Brazil nuts have magnesium that helps convert sugar to energy.
- Drink your water! Dehydration is a major cause of fatigue
- Smell more citrus! Citrus oils are known for their invigorating scent. Lemon, lime, orange and grapefruit can give you an instant pick-me-up whenever you feel lethargic or run down
For the best citrus-infused body products to help lift your energy level, Daily Makeover gives us a list of their favorites:

Thanks for the tips. I am going to have to try these ideas.
Number 3 is very very hard to do, unfortunately.
Thanks for the savvy tips! I work with 24Savvy.com and I’m always looking for ideas. We feature, One Product Three Savvy Ways and we are discussing baby wipes this week.
Given Use: Wiping the delicate, soiled bums, hands, and faces of our Wee Savvies
Alt Use 1: Remove makeup spills, food spills, sunscreen, and bronzing lotions from clothes and swimsuits
Alt Use 2: Remove sticky, tricky build up from jars and tubes like nail polish, glue, honey, and maple syrup
Alt Use 3: Remove scuffs, scratches and stains from shoes and give them a nice polishing before heading into that interview/date/business meeting.
