Honestly, is there a worse time to get sick then when you’re on vacation?

All you want is to enjoy your trip and make the most of your time. And then, boom! A cold. Or worse. You’re away from the comforts of your home, more effort is needed just to get simple remedies, and visiting the doctor you’re familiar with isn’t an option. It has happened to all of us.

On the bright side, there are precautions we can take to reduce our chances of getting sick while traveling. I used to come home sick after every single trip, without fail. After I started doing these things, I almost never spend the last few days of my trip coughing and sneezing, and then confined to my bed for several days after getting home.

Here are my top ten tips on how to not get sick while traveling!

We’ll likely be wearing face masks for a long time. Might as well figure out ways to actually enjoy it.

And even after this is all over, you’ll probably still find me wearing my masks from time to time. I know, that’s hard to imagine coming from someone who was born in the USA and who 2 months ago believed masks belonged exclusively to healthcare workers and painters.

I sewed some of my own homemade masks in early April when masks became a requirement where I live. But they just didn’t fit right. The shape wasn’t right for my face and the masks were constantly sliding down. And therefore I was constantly readjusting and touching and defeating the purpose of wearing the mask at all. I decided I wanted to be cheap and live with my homemade masks for the few weeks they would be necessary. But that “a few weeks” assumption quickly went out the window (it’s more like a whole year now,) and so I felt it was time to invest in some masks that didn’t make me miserable. I took a chance on these, and I am glad I did!

Sick Day Routine — Feel better physically & mentally

Sick Day Routine -- Feel better physically & mentally

Everybody’s been in this predicament. You need a sick day routine.

Long story short, I went to a food festival last weekend, never mind the fact that it was windy, rainy, and quite chilly for Hawaii’s standards. I be like, “I never get sick.”

Yeah, well, you can see how that turned out.

I’m one whose brain never stops turning, even when my body is retaliating against me. So while I was lying on the couch, barely able to keep my eyelids from drooping and obstructing my view of the TV, my mind was twirling through space with all ideas for new content… many of which never made it to a piece of paper because my hand wouldn’t cooperate, but that’s another story.

The one that stuck, (go figure,) was the idea to do my version of a sick day routine, although it’s not really a routine in the sense that you have to do these things in a particular order.

This is what I do when I have an entire day to relax and focus on myself. I may not be 100% back to my normal self after just one day, but doing these things really helps me to feel like I can tackle the world again much quicker.

Let’s get started with my comfortable-at-home sick day routine!
