Travel Friendly Self-Care Kit

For many the holidays means traveling. You’re (most likely) out of your comfort zone, away from your normal routines, and probably experiencing a bit of stress. Regardless of the health of your relationships, traveling can bring on stress.

Be prepared! Bring along items that elicit comfort, allow for self soothing, and simply feel good.

Today I share my travel self-care kit. Perfect for the holidays or anytime you are leaving the comfort of your own space. I carry most of these items with me daily.
