So it’s the end of the work day, and you are staring at the clock watching the seconds tick by, but you still have a few things to get done and after work you have to stop at the store, get gas, deal with pets, spouses and children etc…, just reach for peppermint when you need a little jolt of energy. It can be peppermint candy, peppermint tea and my favorite – peppermint essential oil.  Just inhaling peppermint targets certain areas in the brain that say, “Wake up and take notice.” I like to keep a little plastic bag with a peppermint oil saturated cotton ball inside it. I will open it and take a big whiff. It gives me about an hour to two where I can get things done. It’s better than coffee! So stock up on peppermint tea bags, peppermint candies & peppermint essential oil that can be left in an office drawer or a purse or pocket. It’s a “Mintalicious,” healthy way to go, go, go!
