Summer is here! and if you are like Al and I you have so much you want to do and things you need to do! The last thing you want is to not be awake and alert. Especially when you are doing any of your tasks.<\/p>

Driving, of course, being a task you must be mentally aware at all times, especially of everything going on around you.<\/p>

Of course there are other things you do where you need to pay attention and be alert. (You know, like when you are on the golf course or fishing!! . . . Ok, I\u2019m in summer mode!)<\/p>

Several oils not only help you stay alert and focused but may also give you the energizing boost you need to finish.<\/p>

One of the best known oils for alertness are\u00a0Rosemary<\/a>,\u00a0Grapefruit<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Peppermint<\/a>. Some others that work well\u00a0 include\u00a0Spearmint<\/a>,\u00a0Eucalyptus<\/a>,\u00a0Bergamot<\/a>,\u00a0 and other citrus.<\/p>

Give this Alertness blend a try<\/strong><\/p>

*\u00a0Juniper<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 14 drops
*\u00a0Pine<\/a>\u00a0needle \u2013 8 drops
*\u00a0Rosemary<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 8 drops<\/p>

Blend all in an amber bottles. Place several drops in any diffuser. If you are using in your car while traveling apply about 5-6 drops on your car diffusers pad. Insert into plug in. Diffuse for no longer than 20 minutes in the car.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

If diffusing in the home, you can diffuse for longer periods of time as the house has more cubic footage than the interior of any auto.<\/p>

If you don\u2019t have time to blend some oils, you might want to try one of our energizing blends.\u00a0Mint<\/a>\u00a0Energizing blend is a big favorite. Refreshing blend and Revitalizing blends may also help.<\/p>
