November gently beckons us to immerse in tranquility, offering it as a respite between the summer's excitement and the holiday season's frenzy. It's a perfect opportunity to nurture your body, especially if you're navigating perimenopause or feeling overwhelmed by life's demands. Embrace the season with nourishing habits like savoring warm soups, relishing roasted vegetables, and indulging in good fats, which are crucial for hormonal balance. Complement your diet with essentials like a daily shot of NingXia Red for vitality and Mineral Essence for adrenal support. As the weather cools, fortifying your immune and hormonal systems with Young Living favorites like Thieves, R.C., and Progessence Plus can sustain your wellbeing. Protect your peace amidst the seasonal clamor by creating moments of calm with diffused oils and mindful breathing. November's gentle rhythm invites you to reset and embrace timeless wellness practices.

When I travel, I keep things simple, intentional, and full of peace. No bulky suitcases, no extra baggage — just one large backpack and one smaller that can be connected to the bigger one for easy carrying. That’s it. Traveling light keeps me grounded, stress-free, and ready to truly enjoy the journey.
🌿 Wellness Comes With Me
Even on the road, my wellness routine stays with me. It’s what helps me feel my best, no matter where I am.
Here’s what always goes in my bag:
- Daily Hormone Essentials – for balance and steady energy
- Whole Body Cleanse & Liver Tone – gentle support for detox and vitality
- NingXia Red packets – easy to pack and a must-have for daily wellness
- Thieves Spray – perfect for cleaning surfaces naturally
- Refillable water bottle – hydration is key to staying well
- Essential oils I use every single day for my current wellness goals — these change depending on what I’m working on (like emotional balance, sleep support, or energy).
Some always make the cut, though:- Stress Away – for calm on the go
- Lavender – for rest and relaxation
- Peppermint – for focus or travel fatigue
- Thieves – for immune support
- Frankincense – for grounding and emotional peace
These oils and supplements are my “wellness toolkit,” and I never travel without them.
👖 My Simple Capsule Wardrobe
Packing light keeps things effortless and comfortable — without sacrificing style. Everything I pack can mix and match.
Here’s my go-to formula:
- Walking shoes – worn for travel days
- Slip-on shoes – easy for evenings or quick changes
- Two sweatshirts – one to wear, one to pack
- A few favorite t-shirts – simple, comfy, and versatile
- One pair of jeans to wear and one to pack
- One or two nicer tops – for dinners or photos
- A light jacket or wrap – in case it gets chilly
- Minimal accessories – practical and meaningful, not bulky
Everything fits neatly in my big backpack, with room to spare.
🧘♀️ For Peace & Presence
My smaller backpack holds the things that keep me centered and organized — because peace of mind is just as important as packing cubes.
- My rosary – for prayer and quiet reflection
- Journal + pen – for gratitude and notes along the way
- Phone charger + battery pack
- A few healthy snacks – almonds, protein bar, or jerky
- Travel wallet – ID, cards, and essentials all together
- Ear buds– for watching movies on the plane
- Neck Pillow – for comfort because I normally fly redeye
💫 Final Thoughts
Traveling light is about freedom — the kind that lets you show up fully where you are, without the stress or clutter. With a few wellness essentials, cozy clothes, and a peaceful heart, you can stay well and joyful wherever the road takes you.
✨ Pack light. Stay well. Keep your peace.
