Staying Healthy While Traveling (Giveaway)

April 1, 2015 | Giveaway, health

 

I traveled twice last month, and hopped on a plane yet again last week to head to Los Angeles to run the marathon. With so much going on, I try and do my best to stay healthy and well especially while traveling.

Here are some of my best tips that will help support your immune system so you stay well:

1.) Wash hands: You would think this one would be a given, but a lot of people only wash their hands a couple of times a day. I try to wash mine whenever I think about it, or when I am walking by the sink in the kitchen. This is a great defense for keeping germs away!

2.) Don’t touch your face: This stems off of the hand washing. If you don’t wash your hands then touch your eyes or mouth, it is an easy way for germs and viruses to get into your body. Yuck! I find myself touching my mouth or rubbing my eyes often, a habit I am trying to break!

3.) Sneeze and cough into your arm: You shouldn’t sneeze/cough into your hand, because then it is so easy to touch a door handle etc. and infect other people. I always try to sneeze into a tissue or the crook of my elbow.

4.) Get sleep: When I don’t get enough sleep and am generally run down, it seems that my immune system is lower and I am more susceptible to getting sick. I aim for 7-8 hours a night, which is pretty good with a five month old baby!

5.) Take Airborne Everyday: This is a great product that not only is a multivitamin, but helps support your immune system at the same time (no separate vitamins needed!) The gummies taste great, and are packed with all kinds of nutrients. I have started to take Airborne Everyday as part of my everyday healthy habits routine to help support my immune system. You just take two gummies a day!

    I usually take my own bottle of hand soap with a pump to hotels, so that my boys are more likely to wash their hands. And hand sanitizer is a must in the travel bag.

  2. Stacey Niedzwiecki says

    I take hand sanitizer with me when I travel. And always wash my hands before I eat. If there’s no sink around, that’s where the sanitizer comes in.

  3. Stacie @ SimplySouthernStacie says

    I swear by Airborne when I travel! I take it every time before I get on a plane. My coworkers were all making fun of me, but I knew if I didn’t take it then I would surely end up sick (happens every time).

  4. Julie M says

    I have to travel twice in April. I always make sure I pick up some bottled water immediately after arriving so I can stay hydrated.

  5. Kerry Wright says

    April 1, 2015 at 6:51 am

    I definitely need to do the hand washing more. I do also carry hand sanitizer everywhere I go!

  6. Mindy @ Road Runner Girl says

    April 1, 2015 at 7:21 am

    While traveling I take vitamins, wash my hands frequently, and drink lots of water. LOVE that Everyday Airborne is in gummy form…I hate pills!

  7. Katrina says

    April 1, 2015 at 7:23 am

    I ALWAYS do Airborne when we’re flying and traveling!

  8. Rachel Hagan says

    April 1, 2015 at 8:42 am

    I always increase my vitamin C and zinc the week before I travel.

  9. Jenn @ Fairest Run of All says

    April 1, 2015 at 9:16 am

    Pound orange juice. It seems to work for me!

  10. Amanda says

    April 1, 2015 at 10:34 am

    Hand washing and hand sanitizer all the way! =)

  11. Traci says

    April 1, 2015 at 10:51 am

    I’m a germaphobe! Hand washing and hand sanitizer are my best friend. I’ve tried the other versions of Airborne but not the funnies. They sound yummy!

  12. Jeannie says

    I have typically used AIrborne tablets that dissolve in water but had no idea about the “everyday” – those look great and I’d love to try!

  13. Erin @ Her Heartland Soul says

    April 1, 2015 at 12:17 pm

    Eat healthy and sleep are my two biggest tips!

  14. Peggi Konvicka says

    April 1, 2015 at 12:20 pm

    I always try to have snacks on hand!

  15. Shelby says

    April 1, 2015 at 12:33 pm

    I guess this doesn’t apply to just travelling, but I always open public bathroom doors with a paper towel or my elbow, so I don’t touch it directly with my hand.

  16. Nina says

    April 1, 2015 at 12:33 pm

    definitely drinking a lot of water, it’s crazy how much better you feel when you’re well hydrated!

  17. crystal says

    April 1, 2015 at 12:47 pm

    Alcohol based antibacterial hand gel and lysol wipes.

  18. Lauren says

    April 1, 2015 at 1:39 pm

    Washing your hands as much as possible is always a good tip.

  19. laura says

    April 1, 2015 at 3:48 pm

    Getting enough sleep!

  20. Heather says

    April 1, 2015 at 3:51 pm

    I drink tons of water and get as much rest as possible when I’m traveling. I also make sure to eat well and try to avoid too much “road food” (restaurants and fast food) – I stop at grocery stores for salad bars and fresh fruits and vegetables!

  21. Holly E says

    April 1, 2015 at 4:05 pm

    Stay hydrated and use hand sanitizer.

  22. Sheena says

    April 1, 2015 at 5:22 pm

    I always bring electrolytes and vitamins (and extra meds, just in case) and try to drink more water when traveling.

  23. Kristy says

    April 1, 2015 at 6:24 pm

    I just bought a filtered water bottle to bring with me! I try and bring my own snacks so that I eat healthy, and drink as much water as I can on the flight/in the airport!

  24. Amanda S says

    April 2, 2015 at 7:03 am

    Airborne and Zyrtec! And drink tons of water.

    Use your sleeve to open doors.

  27. Juliana @ 4 Well Rules says

    April 2, 2015 at 2:24 pm

    the main thing I focus on is sleeping well and eating really food. i do pack meds just incase I get the sniffles

  28. HilLesha says

    April 3, 2015 at 12:11 am

    I always travel with travel-friendly hand sanitizer, such as Dr. Bronners Lavender Hand Sanitizer.

  29. Vunda V says

    April 3, 2015 at 7:02 am

I’ve had an interesting first few days of being I’ve had an interesting first few days of being in my 40’s. A bit of a nerve wracking medical week I guess you could say.

Since turning forty, I’ve been all about simple changes that help me feel strong, healthy, and confident — inside and out. 

Adding Organixx Collagen to my coffee each morning has been one of the easiest ways to support my skin, hair, and joints while juggling busy mom life. It blends right in and makes me feel like I’m doing something good for myself every single day. 

Because for me, it’s not just about looking good — it’s about feeling my best, staying active, and showing up for the people and moments that matter most. 
Radiance starts from within, and @organixxco helps make it part of my everyday routine.

I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like t I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like this has me reflecting—not just on what I’ve accomplished, but on who I’m becoming.

I’ve always been driven to achieve, to push, to prove. But lately, I’ve been learning to celebrate presence over performance, connection over perfection.

Today wasn’t about checking a box or hitting a goal—it was about pausing, feeling grateful, and eating a ridiculous amount of cake with people I love. And honestly? That feels like growth.

Here’s to 40: more aligned, more grounded, and still a little extra. 😉

Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 Big milestones always Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 

Big milestones always make me pause and ask:
What am I proud of?
What needs to shift?
Am I becoming the woman I want to be?

💡 As an Enneagram 3, I’ve always been wired to achieve — and for a long time, that meant shaping myself into whatever version I thought people would like best.

There are tables where it’s clear I’m not welcome — and that used to wreck me.
But at 40? I don’t do cliques. I don’t do shrinking or contorting to be accepted. 👀

I’ll always be kind. I’ll always be respectful. But I’m done dragging a chair to tables that were never built for me.

I’m moving over. Making space.
Creating my own table.
