It's that time of year when we set our clocks back and enjoy an extra hour of sleep! At least ideally we do… but life doesn't always go as planned. Here are a few helpful tips for you and yours to keep you happy, healthy and thriving as the time change settles in!

The week of the time change…

  • Consider moving your bedtime routine up by 15-30 minutes (especially for your children if you feel that the change will strongly affect their routines).
    • Add 5 drops Lavender or Peace & Calming to a large handful of epsom salts for a calming bath.
    • Who doesn't love a foot massage? Rub the feet of little ones with Lavender or SleepyIze essential oil and coconut oil or V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex to help them wind down.
    • Roll Tranquil or Rutavala on the bottom of your feet. For even more support, use the CBD Calm Roller.
    • Fill diffusers with sleepy blends (see below!)
  • Make sure to keep with your daily health routines like taking supplements and using your oils consistently!

The night before the time change…

  • Follow the same bedtime routine outlined above. All these little steps add up to lots of great support!
  • Support healthy sleep with a KidScents Unwind packet for the little ones and an ImmuPro or Sleep Essence tablet for the adults.
  • Fill your diffuser with calming blends:
    • Peace & Calming + Lavender
    • Lavender, Cedarwood + Northern Lights Black Spruce
    • Dream Catcher + Tangerine
    • Patchouli, Tangerine, Lavender + Frankincense
    • Vetiver, Cedarwood, Lavender + Tangerine
    • KidPower + Lavender
  • Set your clocks back one hour!

The morning of the time change…

  • Roll EndoFlex over your thyroid (front of the throat) and over your adrenals (lower back) to support health hormone levels that can get a little off during times of stress
  • Make sure you take your Super B! Two tablets with breakfast for natural energy.
  • Two words: NingXia Red. Give your morning (or afternoon!) a pick me up with 2-4 ounces of NingXia Red. Option to mix up a fun mocktail! (If you have kids go ahead and make one for them too… they always steal ours!)
    • 2-4 oz NingXia Red
    • 1 can sparkling water or 1 can NingXia Zyng
    • Healthy splash organic kombucha
    • 1 tsp Golden Turmeric powder
    • 1 packet NingXia Nitro
    • Lots of crushed ice
  • Apply Peppermint to the back of the neck and on the temples (make sure to avoid the eyes) to help focus and sharpen the mind. If you need some support focusing, try KidScent GeneYus as well!
  • Grab a NingXia Nitro packet for mental clarity!
  • Fire up your diffuser with some energizing, uplifting blends:
    • Peppermint, Raven/RC + Lemon
    • Rosemary, Grapefruit, Bergamot + Lime
    • PanAway, Spearmint + Lemon
    • Joy + Peppermint
    • Rosemary, Peppermint + Lemon
    • Tangerine, Grapefruit, Lime, Bergamot

  • Also remember to give yourself (and your loved ones) grace today and these next few days as you adjust to the shift in your schedules.

The night of the time change…

  • Follow the same healthy sleep routines outlined above. ImmuPro is a great choice, especially if you're feeling extra tired and run down!
