body lotionSometimes I have what I call one of those days. On one of those days I tend to lack energy and feel rather insipid.  I am the kind of person who fights negativity with a proactive approach so when I am having a bad day where I feel sluggish and lack energy I try to do something about it. One of the things that I do to restore my energy levels is to have a tepid shower to get my blood pumping. I use a loofah and scrub my skin with a citrusy shower gel. When I get out of the shower I apply a body lotion that contains fruity citrus fragrance notes. I massage my skin with the fruity body lotion to encourage better blood circulation. I also take the time to inhale the citrus fragrance notes in the attempt to energize myself. I have been doing this since I read an article about the refreshing and invigorating properties of citrus essential oils.  Scrubbing and massaging my skin with shower gel and body lotion that smells like citrus fruit definitely seems to help me feel more positive and energetic so that I can get more done.
