Don't throw away those orange and grapefruit peels...

throw some in a little dish and give them a twist during the day to release the wonderful citrus aroma.  Sniffing citrus scents helps release stress and can give you a boost in the afternoon if you're feeling tired. 



Tea tree oil also works wonders for an added boost in energy but many people don't like the medicinal smell.  I love it (but then I also love the smell of oil paint and WD-40)  and will often put just a drop on my left wrist so I can have occasional whiffs during the day.

Hi Adrienne...I could definitely go with orange or lemon peels. Tea tree oil? Uh uh. Don't care for it. Even used it on my gums after someone suggested it. Yuuuuuuccccccckkkkkk. But it's supposed to have some pretty amazing healing properties. Take care. Susan

And don't you think that is why we are bestowed with citrus when we need its properties the most? Love this info and while I knew the dynamic, it was great to be reminded!
