Lounge chairs, towels, sandals and a REBOOT are all you need for a day of fun in the sun!

Memorial Day has come and gone for 2012 (and boy was it hard to wake up and head back to the office yesterday!) and with it marks the (un)official entrance of summer. For many of us, Memorial Day is one of those first chances to breathe in some fresh air, spray on the sunscreen and bug repellant, and bar-b-que with friends (perhaps with a refreshing beverage in tow as well!). As we try to cram in so many activities in just one teensy weekend, it is important to note that all this extra activity and exposure can lead to increased free radicals and toxins in our bodies that our antioxidants may struggle to fight on their own.

Balancing out those Oxidative Stress levels with a REBOOT is a simple, yet effective, way to offer your body the powerful antioxidants it needs to neutralize free radicals. And don’t just take our word for it. Lora, from the blog Crazy Running Girl, wrote an awesome product review about Rebootizer and how it helped her to eliminate some excess fatigue after a particularly jam-packed Memorial Day weekend.

Just as effective as the short-term need, a monthly regimen to help cleanse the body of excess free radicals is a great way to keep your body happy, healthy and youthful. Over at the blog Master your ASSets, Carmen describes her success with the Rebootizer six-day regimen. As she describes, a lot of Rebootizer’s work is done on a cellular level and can offer many long-term benefits to your health.

If you have questions about some of the outdoor occasions that best call for a Reboot, leave us a comment in this post or ask us a question over on our Facebook or Twitter pages. We love being able to help you find the right time to Reboot!

There is no better time than the present to begin a regimen to combat excess free radicals in our bodies, as May in particular can offer many peak occurrences of Oxidative Stress. Let’s start with the overindulgence of food and drink that can occur on Cinco de Mayo or at your upcoming Mother’s Day brunch. May also harkens us to the great outdoors, where sun exposure and environmental pollutants can damage our skin and the need to fit in that summer swim suit raises cause to better manage our weight.

As she so eloquently explains today, Lori will be taking us on a tour of Rebootizer and explaining why now is the time to REBOOT, by breaking down the seven individual ingredients in Rebootizer every day this week. She will also be giving away Rebootizer product through her “Reboot[izer] Your Body Contest”, so stay glued to her site and Twitter account for more information!

We consistently offer giveaways of product and other swag on our Facebook page, so be sure to come and join our ever-growing community online. We love to hear from and interact with you!

But what are you waiting for?  Go and enter Lori’s contest today!

Happy May!

• Bring your own reusable bags to the market/store,
• Switch off tap while brushing and shaving, and
• Unplug electrical appliances when not in use.

Please visit their page to see the entire list of simple suggestions for lowering our individual carbon footprint.

Rebootizer (a 100% recyclable product) also does its part to assist in this preservation effort. Rebootizer celebrated the spirit of Earth Day by participating at Tadasana Festival along the beautiful beaches of Santa Monica, California. The festival dedicated to yoga, music, art and living a natural/organic lifestyle drew crowds from around the country and Reboot was in the mix! We encourage you to watch some of the video footage from the festival, courtesy of our partners at BigHappyDay.com,  or check out our Tadasana Festival album on our Facebook page.

Cheers to celebrating every day as Earth Day!

Laugh it up! A hearty "har har" is one of the many natural ways to relieve stress from both body and mind. Photo from Huffington Post.

April is National Stress Awareness Month and, as such, want to offer some useful tips on how to help reduce those nagging stress levels.

First, the Huffington Post put out a great article on seven different natural ways to release stress. My personal favorite among the group was to remember laugh! Laughter helps to promote the release of endorphins throughout our body which helps to relax our muscles as well. So call up a friend to rehash an old story or simply spend a few minutes watching silly cat videos on YouTube  — your body will thank you later

Next, our beautiful friends at Alignyo shared a clip from NYC-based yoga instructor Tara Stiles with a routine geared entirely towards reliving stress. The five-minute video that puts a heavy emphasis on alternate nostril breathing really helps to transition the body out from the hectic and tasking challenges of work and into the tranquility of life at home. I took Alignyo’s advice and put the video on repeat when I practiced at home last night; I was more mindful of my breathing and truly did feel many of the day’s mental stresses just disappear.

Rebootizer, too, can help to naturally relieve your body of stress and the even-more-important Oxidative Stress. As we age, our body doesn’t produce the same amount of antioxidants needed to fight excess free radicals; this condition is known as Oxidative Stress. However, by incorporating Rebootizer into our healthy lifestyles, especially when feeling the onset of stress or fatigue, the antioxidants delivered to your body combat Oxidative Stress to maintain best body performance, assist weight loss and combat early effects of aging.

So don’t stress about stress! Incorporate some of these healthy habits in your lifestyle for stress-free living.

Namaste,
Stephanie
