Sunday mornings may start out lazy, but by the time afternoon rolls around, I always feel like it is time to get back on track. Creating a simple routine helps me make sure I have all my duckies in a row, from clean gym clothes packed in my gym bag to a meal plan for the week with steel cut oats started for breakfast. I love ending my weekend with a nice relaxing soak in the tub, which helps me sleep better so I start my upcoming week refreshed and ready to go.

Do you have a Sunday evening ritual or a routine to help you get ready for the upcoming week? Or perhaps you wait until Monday morning? Please tell me how you get your life in order after a hectic weekend in the comments section below.

I'm sure you can agree that after a romp in the sheets, you always feel happier and more relaxed. Aside from those emotional benefits, check out WebMD's list of 10 health benefits of sex.

1. Relieves Stress: The calming effect of sex has a positive impact on your blood pressure.
2. Boosts Immunity: Did you know that having sex once or twice a week has been shown to increase the levels of the antibody immunoglobulin A (IgA). This is responsible for helping you fight against infections such as colds.
3. Burns Calories: A half hour of sex burns 85 calories. That beats going to the gym, huh?
4. Improves Cardiovascular Health: For guys, having sex two or more times a week reduces their risk of a fatal heart attack.
5. Boosts Self-Esteem: Having sex makes people feel better about themselves. If a person already has a good self-esteem, having sex raises it even more.

I'm all for anything that can eliminate allergies, but don't tease me. This Lifemax Sneezer Beam claims it can vaporize your sneezing, congestion, and runny noses with light. All you do is plug your nostrils with these mini light sabers light beam rods and the photons supposedly inhibit the cells that release histamines, which protect the body against allergens such as dust, dander, and pollen but that the body over produces when you have an allergy. It'd be amazing if this Sneezer Beam could stop the histamine and prevent runny noses and congestion, but I don't believe it works. This device kind of reminds me of the rhino horn neti pot, but the neti post is no hoax since it actually works.

If you suffer from allergies, I'm sure you're willing to try anything at this point. Too bad the manufacturer says treatment involves three minutes of this light therapy, three times a day for a month until you start seeing results. I've never tried this Sneezer Beam but it sounds a little too cosmic for my taste. I think I'll save my $60.
