Holla, it's the Weekend! But Just in Case You're Sick Like the Rest of Us...

Do people even say that anymore, "Holla?"  Well this girl is, atleast today and I am going to completely plead the "I'm sick and can't think straight" card if  you are laughing at me right now.  ;)

I don't know about you, but this was a short work week for me, with Monday being Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and all, but still... what a week!  I am exhausted.  Deeply.  Truly.  Utterly.   I've been dancing the line of a cold all this week... semi-sore throat, stuffy nose, a little post nasal... but it hasn't taken over, yet.  I don't know if that is a good thing or not and I am too tired to decide.  What I do know is that I have been a fool because I've forgotten to add one of my favorite products to my artillery of cold defenses this past week, my mint revival essential oil.

I am fascinated with essential oils, and what I have found through research is that if you are using them to help with a headache or a cold, that it is best to use them before it turns full blown.  I am not a doctor or a medical person of any kind, but in my personal experiences, I have found that to be true, that the essential oils have worked best as I feel a symptom coming on.  So even thought I've had some symptoms for nearly a week now, cross your fingers with me that there's still EO hope for me!

Headaches, colds, sinuses... peppermint is your friend!  Mint Revival was one of the first essential oils that I purchased when Lemongrass Spa first introduced them.  It's also the one the that I use most, even when I am not sick.  It's a blend of peppermint, lavender, and rosemary... three of my favorite natural scents.  I have a diffuser next to my bed (I literally looked at it every night this week, duh!) and it is a nice relaxing scent to fall asleep to, sick or not.

Speaking of revival, I am somewhat reviving my Lemongrass Spa business hobby and we now have a featured essential oil for each month.  I don't think it's a coincidence that January's EO is none other than Mint Revival.  If you are interested or have any questions... holla back!  ;)
