“I’m leaving, on a jet plane, I don’t know when I’ll be back again.” Something tells me the writer of that song didn’t get a round trip ticket. Probably didn’t have to put anything in a quart size bag either. ;) I’ve found I need a couple comfort items on planes, just so I’m ready to fly. Thieves Hand Sanitizer I mentioned before? They are on my carry on or purse, guaranteed. Germs don’t disappear at a certain altitude. Plus, airports get a lot of traffic in the. A lot of people. So many people. If it was feasible to get a whole Thieves mist shower over me while I traveled, I would do that. Unfortunately, that’s “not possible” or something. So, the hand sanitizer will do. The thieves spray is good for cleaning down any and every surface.
I always like to have the Thieves Hard Lozenges in my purse to offer a quick convenient, low-calorie way to comfort dry and itchy throats.
I don forget to bring a bottle of Peppermint for a few reasons. It’s good in case any of the airport food upsets my stomach, because DiGize is a really powerful aroma that might draw more complaints than a minty fresh aroma. It’s also good for sniffing straight from the bottle for motion sickness or if you’re trying to stay alert and get some work done on the flight. You can bring other oils too.
If you’re gonna sleep? Valor or Peace & Calming maybe even some Stress-Away are good options.
Also, if you’re going somewhere where you need those travel size shampoos and conditioners and body washes and you want something that shows your love for YL, they make a Bon Voyage Package that’s all about being able to travel with your YL products. If you travel a lot, it’s definitely worth looking into!

It would be nice to have a bottle of wine with you when you go to work, but for some reason that’s frowned upon.
That’s okay though, the oils got us covered. I like to make a custom roller blend for work. Mainly for focus but also motivation and to stay energized. 8-10 drops of Clarity with 4-5 drops of Peppermint, then fill the rest of the roller bottle with carrier oil and roll that behind your ears and on your wrists before work and at lunch time.
Focused. Energized. Motivated to stay on task. Your boss will want 20 of you and they might even ask for their own roller. ;)
And since lunch is always up in the air at work – takeout, fast food, or brought from home? No one ever knows. I like to keep AlkaLime Sticks in my desk so I can mix it with water and either settle an upset stomach or keep the pH balance right so it doesn’t get upset. Plus, it’s got a mild, pleasant flavor and helps me stay hydrated more, because let’s be honest, we don’t always remember to drink water at work. AlkaLime is refreshing too, so it’s a win all around.

In Your Car
There are days where it feels like we live in our car.
Always something to do.
Always going somewhere.
Even when I love driving, it can still take it out of you. Road trips or long car rides to work can get the stomach feeling a little upset. Especially if you get more people in the car. Being packed in like sardines changes everything. And if you’ve got kids, you know the struggles.
Remember that Stress Away Roll-On in your purse? Use it. For stressful things in the car and rush hour traffic.
I like a good car diffuser too. AromaEase in the car diffuser is a nice mix of invigorating and lifting spirits and also keeping nausea and motion sickness at bay.
If you don’t have a car diffuser, there’s the old trick of folding up a paper towel or napkin and putting a few drops of the oil on it and then wedging it into the car’s air vents. I love little hacks like that.
Oh, I also can’t be in the car for more than 5 minutes without having something to drink. Instead of grabbing a soda or energy drink, or drinking just plain water, I like to keep those Spearmint Tangerine Vitality Drops + Energy. Natural energy and so tasty. I’ve always got my water bottle with me, so just a squeeze in and a quick shake and I’m good to go.
If you really need the hydration, the regular Vitality Drops have electrolytes, so grab the bottle you need before leaving the house so you can have it handy.

Camping is such a special experience, especially with family. Fresh air. Disconnecting from technology.
Bugs. Well, maybe not the bugs part.
But I like to be uber prepared for camping. All the sleeping bags tightly rolled and ready. Snacks and more snacks. Easy meals. And my camping bin and backpack look like a small store with anything and everything we’ll need.
Let’s talk about the Young Living things to make sure to have for the great outdoors.
Insect Repellent Wipes: because bugs.
Lavender: burns, scrapes, sneaky pollen. Plus, if anyone gets anxious from scary sounds in the woods, this can help calm them.
Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50: the mean sun.
LavaDerm After Sun Spray: because sometimes I forget to reapply the Mineral Sunscreen.
These are normal things I always have with me like DiGize or TummyGize for stomach issues, but I also let your family pick their favorite sleep oils at the moment to bring along. my favorite is peace& calming, but KidScents Sleepylize would be great to have on hand.
Always prepared.

This one can be a little trickier, depending on the school or class setting, but being prepared for school?
It’s a must!!!
Grab your kiddo’s bookbag and find the space for a few things to make it all easier for them. It’s all about finding the right focus oil for your kid. Whether that means popping a roller top onto a bottle of Brain Power or getting the GeneYus Roll-On (this is prediluted, so it’s perfect for kiddos), just swipe it behind the ears and on the temples and wrists for extra focus and staying alert.
It’s really helpful on test days.
Plus, because germs, keep one of the small bottles of Thieves Hand Sanitizers in that book bag and keep your hands clean.
Keep your kiddo prepared to do their best and have a great day at school!
