What’s in my bag? Tips to stay HEALTHY on the go!

Like every mom out there that chauffeurs her kids to and from friends, activities, runs errands, hits the gym…I’m busy. Having been a single mom for many years, I’ve learned a few tips to stay healthy on the go! I always have my MZ Wallace tote stocked in my car with essentials:

1. TENNIS SHOES: I never know when I may get a chance to workout. Sometimes I get to the school 20 mins early. I park, put on my shoes and take a quick run. Always leave a pair of sneakers in your car. They don’t allow any excuses to not burn a few extra calories.

2. My Skin Ceuticals SUNSCREEN: I live for sun protection. This one is tinted and I apply it 2-3 times per day. It’s so light.

3.PROTEIN BARS: My favorite are Zone peanut butter and Luna chocolate coconut. They seriously save me from going through drive-thrus or stopping at one of 10 donut shops that surround my house. Keep them in the car or in your purse. Your summer body will thank you.

4.BOOK or AUDIBLE: Right now I’m hooked on Kate Hudson’s pretty happy. It’s such a great perspective on taking care of your mind and body. I think she’s really great! I love to pull it out while I wait for kids at gymnastics or field hockey instead of scrolling mindlessly through Instagram.

5. TOOTHBRUSH and TOOTHPASTE: You never know when you may need a quick brush on the go. Lately I’ve been a fan of Sensodyne True White Mint Paste. Over the past few years my gum line has started to recede and this toothpaste protects against further damage. I keep both in a ziploc to avoid germs cause I’m OCD like that..:)

6. BOTTLE of WATER: I’m trying really hard to drink more water. Keeping a full bottle of water with a drop of lemon oil is my favorite.

7. I set REMINDERS in my CALENDAR with positive affirmations and an alarm to go off during times when I know I’m feeling overwhelmed. Example: school pickup. That line is insane. I know once my 3 daughters jump in the car my day is about to get loud. Some days it’s a funny quote or even a simple reminder to take 5 deep breathes or a reminder to stay present while they are telling me about their day.

Rarely does my day go as planned. Schedules change, meltdowns happen, you get stuck in traffic, etc. Keeping a bag stocked in the car really does help eliminate some of the unwanted stress that creeps up on all of us.
