Suffering from Anxiety and Emotional Stress? LXR (Liquid Xanax) Blend to the Rescue!

I have always struggled with anxiety. Even in childhood, I was deemed a "worry wart" long before I knew what that was. I can remember being so scared to go to school, I would cry and cry until my mom could talk me down from my anxiety filled moment. In first grade, I would bring a photo of my mom, my stuffed Ernie doll and my two baby blankets (people blanket and lion blanket) to school with me every day. They helped me get by. Luckily, I had a very understanding 1st grade teacher (Mrs. Goldner).

But, now that I'm an adult, it's not so easy, or accepted, to carry around a picture of my mom, Ernie doll and baby blanket. Yah know? I have always taken a lot on at one time. For instance, right now, I have a full time job, I'm taking 4 college courses, I make and sell jewelry on Etsy (www.etsy.com/shop/CurlysOwlParliament), I operate this blog, and I have a husband and son to care for. Things are always very busy for me!

Anxiety comes in many forms. For me, its the feeling of being overwhelmed. I get shaky and feel like I'm about to erupt with tears. I feel like I am on this huge adrenaline rush that won't end. What's helped me emencly is HerbaLife's 'Relax Now' supplement. It's an all natural, high quality supplement that can be taken once or twice a day to, well...RELAX! I take one each morning. I have noticed a HUGE difference in my mood. Sure, I still feel anxious, but it's tolerable now. I also discovered a Spark Naturals blend called LXR. It got it's name from being a natural form of Xanax for all us herbal lovin' ladies sufferin' from anxiety and such.... so, it's called Liquid Xanax, or LXR. This blend was specifically designed for people with Emotional Stress, Anxiety and Depression. Ding Ding Ding! I had to try it for my anxiety!

Now, LXR Blend hasn't been available as an individual essential oil until....TODAY! Seriously, like 3 minutes ago, it was released as an individual oil to purchase from Spark Naturals, instead of only being available in the Spark Naturals Sanity Saver Kit. 


Here is what you will need to get started with applying LXR DAILY (use it daily for best results):

Topical Application:

• Roller bottle
• Fractionated Coconut Oil
• LXR Blend

Fill the roller bottle half full with fractionated coconut oil. Then, fill the rest of the roller bottle with LXR Blend. Replace the cover of the roller bottle and gently shake. Apply daily to the bottom of your feet and toes and to the back of your next near your brain stem (very base of your skull).

    
Diffusing in the Air:

• Aromatherapy Diffuser
• LXR Blend

Fill the diffuser with the indicated amount of water. Drip 3-6 drops of LXR Blend into the Aromatherapy Diffuser and turn it on. Allow to run throughout the day. 

It's time to get relief from your depression, stress and anxiety! Try LXR Blend!!! IT WORKS!

The Amazing Marjoram: How to Use this Underappreciated Essential Oil

For my first post in February, I want to focus on Marjoram Essential Oil....which also happens to be Spark Naturals Oil of the Month in their "Oil of the Month Club."

The Spark Naturals Oil of the Month Club is the best value out there! All of the oils are 15ml bottles and are shipped to you once a month on the same date you ordered the product. So, if I join the Spark Naturals Oil of the Month Club today (February 1st) my next Oil of the Month would be shipped to me on March 1st, then April 1st....you get the idea.

It costs just $15.99 a month...INCLUDING shipping and tax! This is an awesome way to collect great oils at a discounted price!

Not ready to commit to a monthly essential oil? No problem! You can order Marjoram Essential Oil all on it's own by clicking on the links within this blog post. Get it? Click on "Marjoram Essential Oil" and it will bring you to Marjoram Essential Oil on the Spark Naturals website. NICE!
