There’s nothing worse than waking up on a busy day and just not being able to keep your eyes open. But instead of reaching for that sugar-filled energy drink, take a look at these all-natural ways to kick-start your day. And who knows, you might just become a morning person…

Sleeping with your curtains open
Sleeping with your curtains open will set you up perfectly for an easy wake-up, as the sunrise will wake you up naturally – rather than being jolted awake by your alarm. Starting your day with the sunrise allows your body to wake up when you’re fully rested rather than jerking you out of a deep sleep with an alarm tone. Obviously, we can’t all just sleep as late as we’d like, so still set an alarm just in case you’re in extra deep sleep.
Misting your face
As soon as you wake up in the morning, give your face a spritz with a face mist. We all know how quickly a splash of cold water on the face can wake us up, so by keeping a mist on your bedside table so you can roll over and re-energise before you have time to even think ‘just five more minutes…’.

Essential oil diffuser
Before you hop in for your morning shower, set up your diffuser with an energising essential oil to get yourself in an upbeat mood for the day ahead. There are essential oils suited to every situation, so seek out ones with refreshing and stimulating ingredients. Oil Garden Energy Boost Essential Oil Blend is formulated with sweet orange, lemon, grapefruit, bergamot and lemongrass to stimulate the senses, making it perfect for a morning pick me up.

Shower time
The temptation to have a hot shower to wake you up in the morning is real, but it’s also counter-productive. A cold shower (or a least a slightly cooler shower) will increase circulation, increase alertness and won’t dry out your skin like a scorching hot one does. Another thing to take your shower to the next level is a zesty smelling soap to energise the senses. One like Pure Essense Fresh Citrus and Moss Body Bar will be perfectly scented to invigorate and get you ready to take on the day.

An energy supplement
If you find it especially hard to switch on in the mornings, it could be time to consider an energy supplement. Supplements like Abeeco Supabee for Energy are formulated with Siberian ginseng, ashwagandha and rhodiola tosea to help fight fatigue, reduce cortisol levels in the body, and improve brain function including mood, memory and concentration – all the things you need to take on a busy day.

A beauty smoothie
The ultimate health-conscious, busy-girl breakfast is a fruit and veggie-packed smoothie that you can take on the go. We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so packing it full of healthy fruits and veggies will leave us feeling satisfied and energised until lunch. Adding some collagen powder is a great finishing touch to your daily smoothie, formulated to optimise the health of your skin and hair.

Not bad of an idea. I should implement this in my daily routine.
I hate sleeping with the curtains open. Have to have it very dark.
Awesome tips!! A spritz of a face mist in the morning actually does give me a little pick me up.

My name is MICHEAL RACHEL. When I read a testimony online on how DR DAVID the great and most powerful spell caster helped to bring back Divorce husband or wife EX LOVER. I was wondering how this can be true, Because many have failed me in the past without any result from them. I just let the post pass by and move on to the forum. To my notice under again, Some person posted and said tested and trusted spell caster. After reading through the mail it was this same man DR DAVID she was talking about. So I have no other option than to really check up how he works. I was totally devastated when my beloved husband left me. It was like my entire world vanishing into sorrow and pain. I know it sounds weird but out of all the spell casters I contacted, he was the only one to give me that impression of being so true and trustful. More than his words, He brought my husband back and he made all my wishes come true. He is now loyal, pays attention to me, he offers me flowers every Sunday, and we often go out at the cinema and the restaurant. My husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promised never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. My family are living together happily again.. I will be forever thankful for turning my life from hell to heaven! I believe those who need help should get to him for help. May God continue to use you to save broken relationships.
