Travel Wellness Habits

Over the summer I was in & out of the airport a lot as I traveled between Atlanta and Salt Lake City. I have always used these wellness tips in the airport because the LAST thing I need is a random cold to ruin my trip or slow down my productivity. Every time I follow through with these hacks I always stay healthy. Pin this post on Pinterest to save it for your next trip!! You'll thank yourself later!!

Prepare for the Airport

 I always start my travel prep a couple days before. If packing is on your mind, these wellness tips should be on your mind!!

• Emergen-C​
  • The Raspberry flavor is the best. Trust me on this!! Make it apart of your morning or night routine. I also love adding this to my fruit punch pre-workout to kill two birds with one stone. 
• 40 oz of cold water
  • HYDRATE!!! I down a few of these a day but if gulping water is new to you, check out THIS blog post for my best tips on drinking more water!!
• Strategically Pack Your Bag
  • There are a million packing tips I could give but my most essential is to pack your carry on bag strategically. Not the one that goes overhead but your personal item that is by your feet. If you can, bring a bag that has a ton of compartments & pockets. If you're a big tote kind of gal, no problem. Just use smaller bags to store your things. Snacks in one, earplugs & headphones in another. Make it easy for yourself so you don't spend the whole flight flustered about finding your inflight essentials. I break it down in THIS post!! You will want to read that throwback post from 2015!!
• Clean Your Waterbottle
  • This one's for me. I am BAD at remembering to clean my water bottle. If you use the same water bottle everyday like I do, be sure that you remember to clean it every few days. Don't get sick off your own germs. Yuck!!
• Skin Hydration, Creme
  • STOP with the inflight skincare!! It's actually drying out your skin more than helping it unless you are using the thickest face cream on earth. I always up the moisture in my night routine a few days before my flight. My favorite face cream is THIS one! Make sure before you head to the airport that you apply SPF. You are closer to the sun in the airplane & you cannot risk it!
• Clean Phone
  • SO many extra germs on your phone that we forget about. It's a good habit to clean your phone once a week but especially when you're preparing to travel.
• Healthy Meals
  • Fuel your body with all the vitamins & healthy proteins it needs to keep you healthy!

In Flight Precautions:

​Did you know that crews never clean the cabin?? It might look tidy, but it's NOT clean. Bring a little pack of Clorox wipes to wipe down your seat. I PROMISE you that the wipe will be black. Don't forget to sanitize your hands before touching your face, touching your phone or eating food!!

After your Travels

• Sanitize hands & phone!!!
• 40 oz of cold water
  • Flush out all the gunk by increasing your water intake.
• Emergen-C!!
  • Keep boosting your immune system by taking these your whole trip to prepare for your flight home.
• Single Cleanse Face & Moisturize with a creme
  • The FIRST thing I have to do once I arrive to my destination is wash my face & lather on the creme. I like to use a gentle cleanser & only cleanse once so my skin does't loose any more moisture. Then I lather on my favorite creme. Maybe throw on an eye creme & some thick lip balm. Don't forget SPF!!
• Add a sheet mask to night routine
  • I always pack a sheet mask or two when I'm traveling. It's a perfect pick me up for your skin. PRO TIP- I save the wrapper of my sheet mask & use it the left over product as a serum for the next few days. I hate wasting good product!!
