Energy-Efficient Tidbit

Save some dollars on the electric bill by raising the windows both downstairs and upstairs to let in natural air on a day with pleasant temps. Turn the A/C setting up so that it doesn't kick on if the temps in the house are descent. It will save on the A/C and every little bit helps. I like the energy-efficient aspect too!

Healthy Tip of the Day

Don't forget to drop a piece of fruit into your brown bag or lunch carry-all. It's the go-to healthy bite that will give you energy and nutrition. Reach for a colorful banana, apple, peach, orange or strawberries. They all pack a healthy punch of fiber, potassium, and vitamin C.

Exercise Helps Fight Fatigue

It's Hump Day Wednesday, isn't it wonderful. How's the week going so far? The to-do list is manageable today.

I mentioned before that lots of new music comes out on Tuesdays and there are some goodies this week. For starters, Lenny Kravitz has a new album titled "Mama Said (21st Anniversary Deluxe Edition)." Plus, Eric Benet's "The One" and country superstar Alan Jackson released "Thirty Miles West." Listen to these full albums free and many more on AOL Music.

All that music is great streaming on the laptop and perfect way to help fight fatigue that starts to creep in during the day. Try to sneak in some exercises or take a yoga break in the day. Lift the dumbbells when an upbeat song comes on. Do stretching to release any muscle tension to a cool beat. If writer's block has set in, a mellow song with some yoga relaxation poses may get you back on track and clear your mind. Remember to drink plenty of water to help combat that sluggish feeling.
