What to pack for a healthy holiday season

Because the holidays can disrupt even the healthiest routines.

Your wellness survival kit for parties and travel Between the parties, travel stress, rich food, and a completely upside-down schedule, it's so easy for healthy habits to slip during the holidays. But getting out and having fun need not be at odds with your wellness goals. Two of the biggest challenges are sleeping in unfamiliar places and staying properly hydrated while you're constantly on the move. Here's what to pack to tackle both: For better sleep anywhere: 😴 Alaska Bear Sleep Mask: This silky sleep mask blocks out light during flights or car rides, helping you fall asleep with ease, no matter where you are. Available in a range of stylish patterns and colors. 🌊 Dreamegg White Noise Machine: With 24 soothing sounds, including white noise and 10 nature-inspired sounds, this compact, lightweight machine is great for traveling. Create a calming sleep environment in almost any hotel or guest room. For staying hydrated on the move: 💧 Hydro Cell Water Bottle: A durable stainless steel bottle with a straw and an airtight vacuum seal to prevent annoying leaks in your bag. It keeps liquids cold for up to 24 hours or hot for up to 8 hours. Bold colors and fun designs can make it harder to forget when you dash out the door. ⚡ Nuun Sport Hydration: Each tube contains 10 electrolyte tablets formulated with sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and chloride. These help your body absorb and retain water, keeping you properly hydrated no matter how hectic things get. These are just a few of the holiday wellness essentials we've chosen. Check out our full list, including vetted fitness apps that let you squeeze in a workout almost anywhere (a relative's living room, a hotel suite, or even a quiet airport corner), plus probiotics and soothing teas to keep your gut happy into the New Year and beyond.
