SUMMER TRAVEL SURVIVAL KIT: Mom-Tested Essentials You Can't Leave Home Without

 
 
 
 

When you’re prepared, you have way more fun.

Summer is here, and if you're anything like me, your calendar is packed with road trips, family visits, and maybe even a beach getaway. While these adventures are exciting, they can also throw our routines—and our family's wellness—into chaos.

I remember one trip where one kid was busy having a meltdown from lack of sleep, another complained of a tummy ache after every meal, and I was constantly swatting away mosquitoes. It was supposed to be a relaxing vacation, but I came home more exhausted than when I left.

That's when I discovered a few doTERRA products that became my travel MVPs. They've turned our trips from stressful to smooth, and I just had to share them with you.

DIGESTZEN SOFTGELS:
Your tummy's travel buddy.

Ever tried new foods on vacation and ended up regretting it? Been there. DigestZen Softgels have been a game-changer for us. They're a blend of essential oils like Ginger, Peppermint, and Fennel that support healthy digestion. I keep a few in my purse, and they're perfect for those unexpected tummy troubles.

Why I love them:

  • Convenient: Easy to pack and take on the go.

  • Effective: Helps ease occasional stomach discomfort.

  • Natural: A blend of pure essential oils without synthetic additives.

SERENITY SOFTGELS:
Sweet dreams anywhere.

Sleeping in a new place can be tough, especially for the kids. Serenity Softgels combine Lavender and L-Theanine to promote relaxation and restful sleep. I love these for myself, and take one every night, even at home, to get the deepest most restful sleep. But they're also great for kids when we're settling into a new environment, and it makes bedtime so much smoother.

Why I love them:

  • Non-habit forming: Safe for regular use.

  • Calming: Helps reduce feelings of stress and anxiety.

  • Restful sleep: Supports a good night's sleep without grogginess.

TERRASHIELD SPRAY:
Bug off, naturally.

Nothing ruins outdoor fun like pesky mosquitoes. TerraShield is a natural insect repellent that actually works. It's a blend of essential oils like Ylang Ylang and Cedarwood, and it smells so much better than those chemical sprays.

Why I love it:

  • Safe: Gentle on the skin, even for kids.

  • Effective: Keeps bugs at bay during our outdoor adventures.

  • Pleasant scent: No harsh chemical smell.

 
 

These three products have become staples in our travel bag. They address the common issues we face on the road: digestive discomfort, sleep disturbances, and insect bites. With them, I feel more prepared and less stressed, which means I can actually enjoy our vacations.

As moms, we juggle so much, and vacations should be a time to unwind, not add more stress. By having these natural solutions on hand, we can ensure our family's well-being and truly make the most of our time together.
