Wellness Essentials for Travel
Gearing up to go out of town for Spring Break? Easter? Summer? While exciting and fun, travel takes us out of routine and maybe even out of our comfort zones. Whether you're jet-setting across continents or taking a weekend getaway or somewhere in between, ensuring you have the right travel essentials can make all the difference in staying healthy and energized throughout your journey.
Here are some of my favorite wellness essentials for traveling:
Water Bottle to Stay Hydrated: I love the Stanley Iceflow to keep drinks cold during long days out exploring or on the beach. It’s easy to throw in your bag, and you don’t have to worry about it leaking 😉
Sun Protectors: Be sure to pack a mineral-based sunscreen like Supergoop! Mineral Sheer Screen. Even if you are not heading to the beach or a tropical getaway, you will likely be outside exploring. If you are going to be out in the sun a lot, the Rahua Hydration Detangler and UV Barrier Spray can help hydrate and protect your hair from the sun. I also love a good hat for days when I’ll be out in the sun a little longer. Love the Summer Straw Hat at J.Crew for extra coverage and the Clare V. trucker hats for something sportier.
Supplements: Remember to take your daily medicines and supplements with you if you are currently taking any. In addition, for an immunity boost, these vitamin C packets from Cymbiotika are incredibly easy to travel with. I also like the Super Greens packets as I’m currently still battling Lyme, and this ensures I continue to promote natural detoxification even when away from my usual detoxing tools (ex. Infrared sauna, hot yoga classes, etc) and gives me a little energy boost. Always check with your doctor before adding supplements into your routine. Not everyone will need these two specific ones… they are just ones I like to help promote health even when away from home.
Sneakers: I always make sure to pack good sneakers for walking and exploring… but also look cute. I love the New Balance 327 sneakers as they are both comfortable and stylish- and also come in a ton of color options.
Facial Spray: When traveling, I often bring a travel-sized facial spray to help boost hydration when my skin is feeling a little dry. The Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Mist is my current fave.
Travel Toiletry Bag: I like to bring most of my toiletries from home so I know what I’m putting on my skin/hair/etc rather than relying on what might be stocked at the hotel. This travel cosmetic bag from Amazon is large and expands out so it is easy to find what you are looking for.
This list isn’t exhaustive, but it’s a start. Above all though, when traveling, relax and really use your leisure travel to enjoy time away, connect, de-stress, etc. Because lowering our stress, creating moments of joy, and connecting with others are essential pieces to feeling your best.
