- Hi, I'm Parris with a bonus Saturday review video,
because I'm still driving home
this Saturday from Palm Springs.
Today, though, it's Deming, New Mexico to Austin, Texas,
about 10 hours, and just had lunch,
so this is a good time to see if there's something
that can sorta pick me up and return my focus
and concentration.
I'm not sleepy, I slept well last night,
if you're driving and you're sleepy,
the best thing to do is to pull over and sleep,
because that's how you'll get refreshed,
but to sorta sharpen myself back up and focus on driving,
going to try out this essential oil roll-on,
this is from the folks at Nature's Truth,
and it is a clarity concentration and centering.
Now, this is different from other essential oils
in that you don't put it in a diffuser, and breathe it,
in a car, it's a little harder to do,
this is a roll-on, you do get some inhalation of it
by rolling it on to the back of your neck, on your wrists,
you also put it on the soles of your feet,
and you get some absorption that way,
and I'll try one more spot that I learned
from one of our viewers that worked really well
with a similar roll-on essential oil
that was to help go to sleep, and it actually did,
once I put it in the right place.
But I'll follow the instructions for this one first.
Now, this little roll-on tube of this goes for about $8,
and I'll put a link to it down below this video.
It contains, it's in a base of sunflower seed oil,
and then within that, there is lavender, which surprises me,
'cause that seems like a sleepy oil to me.
Also peppermint, which is a good one to wake up,
and rosemary, which I think will make me
wanna eat something.
Let's see.
There's how big the tube is.
This is not for young children
or people with different conditions,
make sure you read the box before using it.
Also, meets those requirements.
I still never know if you're supposed to shake them up
before you use them.
Let's see what it smells like.
(grunts)
I need the strength essential oil,
before I can open this one.
There should be a roll-on ball.
It's a little different than the other brand,
this has a clear plastic deodorant roll-on looking ball,
the other one was like a metal ball.
Woo, peppermint!
Yeah!
Alright, back of the neck and on the wrists first.
Think peppermint might burn a little, but.
Feeling a little tingling.
Ooh!
That's a nice smell.
That's definitely a refreshing smell.
Hope my back of my neck stops tingling shortly,
I'm gonna put a little on the soles of my feet,
so I can get the absorption going on.
That's not me, that's a truck over there on the highway.
Okay, soles of the feet, don't be ticklish!
Woo, so much smell, of peppermint.
I think, they don't say, but I assume
you're supposed to put your socks back on,
like when you do when you're sick and you put on
the Vick's menthol rub, you put it inside the shirt
and put the shirt on, you put it on your feet,
you put socks on, 'cause you want it to,
I don't know, sorta concentrate in there against the skin.
There's one foot.
Oh!
(coughs)
I'm getting diffusion going on, thanks to my foot, I think.
It's really up and in here now, oh!
One more foot to go.
Maybe put it everywhere else you want first, your feet last.
(inhales deeply)
Aah, okay.
I'm feeling more awake.
It's a amazing transformation,
I was really feeling just kinda blah
in a real low-energy mode, and this has changed it,
just the smell of it.
Ah!
Some yerba mate too would help.
Now, what I learned from one our viewers, Darcy,
she mentioned behind the ears is a place that you get
really fast absorption.
When I did the behind-the-ears with the Sleep and Slumber,
I was trying to go to sleep staying in the hotel room,
when I just put it on the usual spots,
I felt relaxed but not sleepy,
but when I took her advice and put it behind my ears,
where there's some gland there, apparently,
I was knocked out in five minutes, so let's see.
The weird thing was, after a couple minutes
after putting it behind my ears,
I could taste it in my mouth.
Let's see if there's a repeat of that.
I imagine it was getting absorbed
and brought through the blood supply around my mouth,
and somehow, it actually got to the taste buds.
I don't know if things can work that way.
Ooh, tingling!
It's gotta be that peppermint oil.
I'd like to taste peppermint.
Do I?
I can't tell now if it's the smell
or I actually have a little taste of peppermint
on my tongue.
I think it's just the smell.
Okay, well that's easy, that's easy to apply and to use,
and it's really had a profound effect on me, I can feel it,
that I'm far more focused, what am I exactly?
I'm three things, according to the box,
I have clarity, concentration, and centering,
and I would say it definitely has me focused,
so I'll do a much better job paying attention
driving down the road, so.
I will do an update on Twitter,
possibly as a little Twitter live feed,
little Twitter, live Twitter video.
Yo, I need more!
I don't know if it's through Periscope
or Twitter does it separately now,
but I did one earlier, and I will do a followup
when I get back to Austin in a few hours' time,
probably like six hours' time.
I may apply this as needed along the way,
and I'll let you know where I thought this really did help,
but so far, it really is a good pick-me-up.
