If you’ve been around here a while, you know of my love of travel. And traveling with oils is also my fave!! I’m always up for a quick trip or a cross country move or trans Pacific move…ok, well those were in my younger days, but I digress! haha
But I sooooo LOVE to travel!!! I’m pretty good at packing by now with all the traveling we’ve done over the years. I’ve figured out all the hacks and tricks…like using packing cubes for shoving all the shiz!!!
I’m often asked by my oily friends how I pack my oils and diffuser for trips. It’s actually really simple. I’ve used several different kinds of bags but I now have this AWESOME Young Living one and it’s the BEST!!
First of all, if you’re flying, you can absolutely take your oils with you!! I put mine that I will need for my flight in my carry on in a ziploc bag and have never had a problem with them. If I’m checking a bag, I simply make sure the lids are on tight and also put them in a ziploc bag just in case there is any leaking. As for my diffuser, I make sure there are lots of soft clothes around it followed by more structured items like shoes to offer a little protection.
If it’s a road trip, I just make sure that I keep it all together and this cute new carrying case is simply the BEST!!!!! It also makes traveling with oils a no brainer!
If you are a YL member, you can get it in our 2020 Holiday Launch, if you are not a member, you can snag it as a starter kit as soon as it launches next week…around the 9th-ish. 🙂
With so many of us preparing to travel over the upcoming holidays, here are my TOP TEN FAVES oils that I never leave home without!!!
1~Lavender: All the sleep support
2~Thieves: All the immune support…stay away travel germs
3~Peace & Calming: For those stressful airport days or for navigating the interstates with all the other holiday travelers.
4~Peppermint: Soooo great for the icky, nauseous feelings when I fly or ride in the car
5~Frankincense: For pampering the face due to all the weary travel days
6~Stress Away: Ummm…family time may call for this one. 🙂
7~Joy: To help keep a joyful heart
8~Lemon: For keeping your alert during your travels and to refresh that bottle of water while you’re trying to stay hydrated
9~Deep Relief Roll On: For all the pains in the neck…not from family…but from schlepping the bags and kids
10~RC: This supports the respiratory system…great for the sniffles and icks that may accompany holiday travel.
I pray you’ll find some peace and support with these oils as you prepare for this holiday season. But know that traveling with oils does not have to be hard. In fact it’s quite easy! I think we are all so ready for these next two months…for the joy, for the happiness, for the songs, for the gifts, for family time, and for the reminders of the true meanings of why we celebrate.
May these oils bless your family as they have blessed ours…and may your travels be safe and oily!
