It Works Essential Oils

It Works has just introduced a brand new product: Essential Oil blends!  Just in time for the holidays, get ready to BOOM, CHILL, DEFEND, and CLEAR with the It Works! Essential Oils!

Ready to meet them?

• BOOM: Are you ready to GO!? The holidays aren’t going to wait for you! There’s decorations to put up, presents to buy, turkeys to stuff! And that’s all on top of the carpools to run, meetings to attend, and a business to build! You gotta be ready to bring your BOOM! Good thing you’ve got me! With a blend of invigorating spearmint and a fresh burst of citrus—including notes of tangy grapefruit, zesty lemon, and the sweetness of orange, tangerine, and mandarin—you’ll be positively energized with just one whiff! Grab life by the BOOM and Lezgo!

• CHILL: I know you have a lot on your plate this holiday season, and you need the energy to get it all done. That’s why you have my buddy, BOOM, to help keep you going. But you gotta have balance in life. You have to step away from all that holiday madness, sit back, relax, and just chill. That’s my department. You’ll be ready to release, rebalance, and reconnect with the aroma of calm and clean lavender, earthy clary sage, tangy grapefruit, and exotic copaiba. Just chill—you got this!
• DEFEND: Are you ready to gear up and DEFEND? It’s the holiday season, and that means they’re gonna throw everything they got at you—at the mall, in the grocery store, at the kids’ Christmas pageant! Good thing you have me—the protector, the fighter, the defensive lineman to keep you strong this holiday season! With a blend of rosemary, zesty lemon, and the rich spiciness of cinnamon and clove, get ready to gear up and DEFEND!
• CLEAR: I know how crazy the holidays can get. That’s why you need a focused, level-headed, organizer who can help you bring it all back to the basics and keep your mind clear. Hence my name—CLEAR! With a clearing blend of two eucalyptus oils, stimulating peppermint, elevating myrtle, peppery elemi, and the freshness of cypress oil, I’ll help bring everything into crisp, clear focus. Life is so much better when everything is clear, so clarify your thoughts and just breathe!

A hugely exciting thing about with our new #essentialoils: the plug is a USB, meaning you can take it anywhere! Need to #chill in rush hour traffic? Diffuse our CHILL in your car!

30 Days of Gratitude (the #GratitudeAdventure)

 At the beginning of the month, It Works challenged all of its distributors to begin a month of gratitude.  Each day, we focus not on what we don't have, but on what we are grateful for.  It can be a huge change in the way we see the world.  I encourage you to join us on the #GratitudeAdventure.  I am sure that you, like me, will appreciate the chance to focus on the many blessings you have.

You can participate in the challenge however you wish.  I am taking time each day to reflect on what I am grateful for.  Others are creating gratitude journals, making art, creating a photo album... as I said, whatever helps you focus on gratitude is the right way to participate.

Each day, as we focus on what we are thankful for, we change the way we look at things.  This can be a very powerful experience.  I have a friend who wrote in a gratitude journal for a month long exercise - that was 10 years ago, she still writes nearly every day.

#Summer Fresh Start

I have had some big changes in my life - New House, home renovation, and a new job!  In transition (a lot longer than expected), I lived in a home filled with boxes (which included all my pots and pans - oops!), and no room for using the ballet barre.  It was also super time consuming and draining.  I found these very good excuses to allow my wellness program (healthy eating and regular physical activity) to fly straight out the windows.

Well, I still have quite a few boxes - the home renovation is not yet done... but it's summer, and it is time to kick myself back into gear.  I am super excited, because I know (from past experience) that with a few adjustments I will be getting better sleep, feel more comfortable in my skin (and my clothing!), and be healthier (less likely to catch the next cold my family tries to share!).

Why #ItWorks?

Why do I do this crazy wrap thing? 

For me, it is all about wellness. When I am healthier, I feel so much better in my skin.

I know that my immune system works better, so I get sick less, so I get to do more of what I want to do. I also feel like I sleep better and have more energy throughout the day. 

And with the better balance this helps bring to my life, I really am happier. -not because I am skinnier when I get more exercise and eat better, but because when I have that balance, I have the energy and time and focus on the people and activities I want to focus on; I don't burn all of my energy just getting through the work day. 

It Works gives me the opportunity not only to increase my own wellness, but to help others meet their wellness goals as well. It is an amazing job, and I love it. 

I am happy to share details with you if you are interested. Send me a message to wellnessgirl.itworks@gmail.com for information.

#Happiness #Challenge

Happy people are healthier people - so I strongly encourage you to find something fun to do, not just today, but on an on-going basis. 

"A review of more than 160 studies of human and animal subjects has found "clear and compelling evidence" that -- all else being equal -- happy people tend to live longer and experience better health than their unhappy peers" ("Happiness improves health and lengthens life, review finds", Science Daily).  Studies found that a positive outlook and general mental health allows one to cope with stress better, and can lower the risk of coronary incident. 

Did you know, noticing your happiness will also increase your happiness?  There was a craze going around recently - #100happydays that was a challenge to be happy for 100 days in a row.  If you have not taken the challenge, I encourage you to try, it is a great experience.


In fact, I am challenging you, for the rest of the month of April to find something to be happy about or something to be grateful for every day.  I encourage you to share those things with your friends and family, either verbally, or through social media.  If you're up for a bigger challenge, for for a full 100 days.

#Yoga in the #Park

Recently my friend Ashley introduced me to a wonderful new idea - Yoga in the Park!  Here in Sacramento, a yoga class taught by an expert yoga instructor from a local studio is offered for free in McKinley Park (near the Rose Garden) at 9:00 am.  In the cold months, they migrate to a near-by building.

I checked it out, and something similar is offered in many cities across America (so if you don't live in Sacramento, hit the internet and search for your city's version). 

Yoga is a great way to stay active and flexible in a life long way.  It is all levels (and so is the class on Saturdays in Sacramento) - which means that you should take the class at your current skill level.  People who currently have low levels of physical activity and or flexibility should start at a beginner class.  In an all-levels class, this means that when the instructor offers modifications for beginners, you should do them - otherwise you risk strain or injury.

#Family #Dinner Night

When I was young, my family had dinner together every night unless someone was out of town.  Once in a while, dinner was late because of a soccer game, or babysitting, or a meeting, but even on those nights, we came together at the kitchen table and had a family meal. 

The experts tell us that the multitude of programs we enroll our children in, and the extreme business of American life today may not be good for us.  They also say that stability is.  I find that although I didn't appreciate them for the gift they were at the time, I am enormously thankful for the gift of time that my parents gave my sister and I each night. 

I find that although I am adult and single now, I have created my own version of family dinner night.  A couple of friends come over on the same night each week.  I begin cooking as they arrive, and we share all the important details of our lives, just as my family did around the dinner table.  Often, they will help me cook, which my sister and I used to do when we were growing up (and is how we learned to cook). 

I think a lot of family values are shared in the family dinner night.  My sister and I learned that family is important; that it should be prioritized over the other things in our lives.  We learned about healthy eating and about cooking.  We learned about politics and religion though family discussion, but also about forming our own thoughts and opinions, because our parents believed that we should have them.

#Office #Workouts

A friend asked for a way to "fit in" more fitness/work out time. 

Today I'm going to give us a couple of videos that together will give you a good workout which you can do without ever leaving your office.  If you choose to do only part of the workout, that is totally okay, choose your target area(s). 

5 Minute Arms:

This 5 minute video requires no equipment.  It is designed to help you work your shoulders and arms. I love this video, because it totally kicks my butt whenever I do it (which is NOT every day, unfortunately).  

5-Minute Office Friendly Workout:

5-Minute Office Friendly Workout- This video offers some great all-over exercises you can do at the office.  If you want to adopt it as your regular routine, you will want to invest in an exercise band.

#Spring into #Action - Shake up your #Wellness Plan

I am always more motivated about whatever fitness or wellness program I am working when I have a team/friends/family working it with me.  That's what I love about social media - it is a way to have a support group no matter what.

I have a group of friends that work with me on wellness via Facebook - we all stay connected, and we post questions, ideas, support whenever we wish.  I try to post at least three to four times a week (recipes, workout ideas, tips from health experts...), but others in the group are awesome.  I have a friend who is doing four 5K runs this year with her family!  Another living in New York just purchased a bike for her main source of transportation, and is sharing her journey with all of us.

If you're interested in joining this great group, send me a message and I'll get you hooked up.  Or, you can start your own group (in person or via social media).  The purpose for me is to have someone who knows that I am on a journey and will check in on me to make sure I'm sticking with it, and I can do the same for them.

#Taco Thursday - #Healthy #Meal

by Thea Mangels

Taco salad was a big favorite in my house growing up.  It's really easy, and quick.  The actual salad ingredients changed a lot from salad to salad, the part that was always the same was the home-made taco salad dressing.  That was what really made the salad.

Salad:

• Lettuce - green and/or red leaf with some iceberg mixed in if you like
• You can also use cabbage red or green.  Or even broccoli slaw for some added crunch and nutrition.
• Sweet onion - either red or texas sweet
• Tomato
• Black beans if you have then, or kidney if you wish (rinse the beans before adding them
• Ground chicken, turkey, or LEAN beef - cooked with taco seasoning, or with cumin and garlic

Dressing:

• 1 bunch cilantro, coarsely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1/2 jalapeno (or all of it if not too spicey)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• juice from one or two lemons
• 1/4 cup oil
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 packet sweetener (splenda)

Prep:

Put all ingredients in a blender and give it a whirl.
