1. DRINK MORE WATER.  AND LESS SUGARY DRINKS.  Add 1-2 drops of Lemon to 12 ounces of water or sparkling water.  Shake well. This tastes great, reduces your cravings for sugary drinks, helps your body flush out toxins, and boosts your energy.  And this is good for the whole family. Great for mornings or instead of an afternoon coffee.

2. SHOWER LIKE YOU’RE AT A SPAFlick a few drops of Essential Oil onto each wall in your shower and your shower door/curtain.  Roll up a small hand towel, lightly soak in water, and add a few drops of Essential Oil onto the towel. Place the towel on your shower caddy, as close to head level as you can get it. Turn on your shower to the hottest and leave it running for a few seconds until the shower steams. Once the shower steams, set the temperature to your desired temperature. Ta-da, you’ve got a steam shower. Try different Essential Oils and see what you love most.  Our favorites are Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint.  (Also great here are EucalyptusREVIVE Energy, which are not included in the Basics Kit)
