As a person who travels pretty often in my free time, I’ve developed a list of travel essentials that as strange as they sound, they work to keep me in shape, take down bloating and overall, have me ready for any bikini or gala event at a moment’s notice. These are my Must-haves to keep me feeling confident and looking my personal best, so I can focus on wonderful moments and celebrating life with my loved ones!
Face/ Eye Masks
We all feel a little tired and drained after a flight. So I always recommend a good face or eye mask to refresh tired eyes and reinvigorate your skin after traveling.
Vitamins
These are essential to keeping your energy levels up and are an integral part of your self-care. I always recommend a multi-vitamin then extra vitamin C to ensure your immune system is strong while traveling. This isn’t a must but for those of us who are about to get their menses while traveling, I highly recommend Moody Bird, as it is the best natural solution to staying calm, debloating, calming appetite and more.
LED Infrared Pad
This is the most essential of all! If you had a rough night and feel puffy in your midsection the next day, use this device to lose that bloat! Home LED infrared devices can be amazing for losing a bit of fat, de-puffing, decreasing bloat and is also powerful if you have any pain that is in need of relief.
Keep in mind, this is an electronic device. Please speak with your doctor before using devices of this nature. I do not recommend this kind of device for anyone who is pregnant, has active cancer, has a heart, kidney or liver condition without the consent of your doctor.
Probiotics
Whether it’s due to recirculated air, being in and around crowds at the airport, unsafe water, or food being unfamiliar to you, probiotics are crucial to your gut health, especially when you’re traveling.
Carb Blockers
These are a true gift. When I choose to indulge in carbohydrates in food and drink, I take a couple of these with my meals so that I can have peace of mind that my body won’t absorb all the sugar and carbohydrates I’ve consumed at that meal. This is not a reason to go overboard, as moderation is always key to maintaining your shape. However, it’s nice to indulge here and there and not have to worry about seeing all of it show up on your body when you return from your vacation.
Waist Trainer
Waist trainers are fantastic to maintain shape and if you’re in fat burning mode (as in dieting and exercising consistently), then a waist trainer will only help push those fat cells to release their matter and flush fat out of your system more effectively.
Electrolytes
Electrolytes are super important for maintaining hydration and everyone knows- hydration is key to losing weight!
Hope this helps! Happy Travels!
