I shared this photo on my Facebook the other day. It is the mess I made while organizing and refilling my travel case(s).
I keep these few rollers in a separate pocket in my purse as well. These are the ones I tend to use daily while I'm out and about.
Traveling is another story. I admit,
for too long.
Now, I could buy a few of these cute bags,
and take them ALL with me. But then I get nervous about TSA raiding my suitcase.
So I compromise and make a few travel cases of my, and my family's, most used oils. It takes some planning and effort to turn the first picture above, into the organized items below. But it is so worth it to know I have what I need with me wherever we travel.
Here they are explained.
I bring my own
Bug spray - it is the Midwest
Sunburn spray - accidents happen
Allergy spray - did I mention my allergies?
As well as a small bottle of premixed Cold and Flu bomb in case anyone tries to get sick.
My purse pack has
Hand sanitizer
Emergency deodorant - I live in Phoenix in summer
Peppermint for nausea or heartburn
LXR for stress
Birch for injuries/pain
Respire for my asthma
Frankincense because - it's awesome and has soooo many uses. It just makes everything better
Lavender for burns, calming, healing
These few are in an easy access pocket of my purse
Headache roller - to catch any migraine as soon as I even think I may be getting one
Stress roller - travel with 4 boys, nuff said
Jeddy's - great for stress, stiff neck, tension headache
LLP - my allergies are constant
Lemon - for my water
This is my vacation kit
2 pain blends - pain is no fun and can put a wrinkle in vacation
2 stiff / sore muscle blends - we do a lot of walking/hiking on vacations. Strange beds cause stiffness too
Allergy roller for bug bites and strange rashes
Jeddy's for car rides, and more than one of us needs help with focus at times
Cold and flu roller - just in case
Digest - vacation food
Tennis elbow blend - I'm very prone to this and it make everything hard if it flares up. This blend can work well on other strained things too
empty capsules - for digest, cold and flu, or LLP if needed
I also pack a jar of my pain salve and one of healing salve. I know this seems like a lot, but it really is a comfort knowing that just because I'm on vacation doesn't mean I can't keep treating my family with natural remedies.
***I take the items that are in my purse and put them in a quart ziploc before I stand in the security line if I'm flying. The other items go in my checked bag.

Now I'm off to pack some clothes ;)!
