Travel Wellness Must-Haves

Sharing my wellness must-haves for travel!

Hi friends! Happy Monday! I hope that you had a great weekend and that my friends who were celebrating Easter enjoyed a beautiful holiday. We had brunch here at the house, went to see King of Kings with friends, and had dinner to celebrate Trevor’s bday with the fam. It was perfect.

Our Spring Forward challenge starts TODAY so if you’re looking for a lil wellness reset, sign up here.

For today’s post, I wanted to talk a bit about travel wellness must-haves. Some people pack super light and I’m like, “How can I cushion my mini Somavedic so it doesn’t break?”

Maybe one day I’ll be a carry-on only girl, but for now, I just have too many things I like to have with me. I tried to focus on solely the essentials for this post and included all of the wellness goodies I bring when I travel. Affiliate links are included below because many of these are products I’ve used and loved for many years. Thank you so much for supporting the blog by shopping through my links!

If you have any faves to add to the list, please leave them in the comments below!

Compression socks

These are such a gamechanger for long flights and drives. I can’t live without them because they really help with circulation and reducing swelling. I’ll also get up and walk at least every couple of hours unless I’m sleeping. I’ll wear a jumpsuit or comfy pants when I travel (no leggings) so no one can tell I’m in full grandma compression mode. These are the best.

Rest Eye masks

These are one of my can’t-live-without eye care products, but they are amazing for overall eye wellness, especially if you deal with dry eyes on flights. I use one every single morning. They help to open the oil glands and increase the oil production in your eyes, which lubricates them, and it’s super relaxing. Try them here.

Hand sanitizer

While I don’t think that we should abuse hand sanitizer, I think it’s important to have on hand when you have kids and they’re touching everything, and for traveling. There aren’t always convenient spots available to wash hands, and this is my favorite hand sanitizer, which is super gentle for skin, isn’t overly scented, and super moisturizing.

Supplement container and supplements

I always travel with supplements in. my handy little supplement container. I don’t think you should take supplements without functional testing to see what your body actually needs. I used to take a TON of supplements, but after using testing and targeted protocols, I just take a handful each day based on testing.

Here’s a link to my favorite supplement container.

For daily supplements, here are some I always include for travel: Melatonin, Daily Nutritional Support, Digestive Enzymes, Organifi greens (code FITNESSISTA), and a Binder.

Eye mask

You never know what the light situation will be like in hotels, and I also like to have an eye mask for long flights. I’ll pop in some ear plugs, add an eye mask, I’ll also take melatonin on travel days, and nighty night everyone. Vivarays makes an amaaaaazing eye mask.

Travel humidifier

One of the easiest healthy habits for my eyes and skin has een daily humidifier use.I use the full-sized version at home, but when I travel, I use this smaller travel humidifier. Airplane air is SO DRY, and it can also be helpful in hotels. Here’s the link to my favorite one (code FITNESSISTA).

SPF

I’m usually low-key on the makeup when we’re traveling, unless we’re out to dinner, but SPF is a non-negotiable every day. This is my go-to tinted SPF moisturizer. It adds a little bit of coverage with anti-aging properties and sun protection (code FITNESSISTA).

LMNT

I have an LMNT every.single.day. My favorite flavors are raspberry and citrus, and i’ll keep some packets in my carry-on and put more in my suitcase. We have them on subscription from Thrive Market.

Clearly filtered water bottle

Water always sketches me out a bit when we travel. It’s fine when we get to our destination (we’ll get large glass bottles of water to have at the hotel) but at the airport, you have the choice of water dispensers (tap water) or plastic bottles. The perfect solution: Clearly Filtered. This bottle filters out 300+ contaminants and the water tastes amazing. We also use and love their pitcher at home.

Blue light blocking glasses

When you travel, you’re surrounded by florescent and LED lights in the airport and on the plane. I love to wear my 4-in-1 glasses throughout the day, but especially the red lenses before I go to sleep. Here’s my link for the best ones (code FITNESSISTA).

Neck pillow

I’ve tried SO MANY travel neck pillows and this is my all-time fave.

I can prop it against the window and get quality sleep on the flight. Last time we went to Spain, I slept almost the entire way from Phoenix to London and landed feeling refreshed and awake!

Red light mask

This is so portable, lightweight, and easy to pack. I just make sure to cushion it so it doesn’t get crushed in the suitcase. Check it out here and use FITNESSISTA15. I use this a few times a week and notice a difference in my skin’s brightness and texture when it’s part of my routine.
