Nutrition Items to Support Immunity
I love warm lemon water. Especially in the morning. We go through lemons so fast in my house.
Lemons, 5 lbs
I love slicing ginger and pouring hot water over it. I also like using it in my juicer. 
Organic Ginger Root, 2 lbs
I love turmeric for juicing. It’s also great to slice up with hot water poured over it. I add a little bit of black pepper to activate it. 
Fresh Yellow Turmeric Root - 1lb
Sprays and Drink Packets
I always have this in my flight attendant bag, if I ever feel a sniffle or a sore throat coming on, I start using this immediately. I feel like it wards off illness!
Beekeeper's Naturals Nasal Spray with Propolis
I am the biggest advocate for handwashing, but sometimes I just have to use a hand sanitizer, this is the one I have in my bag. 
Touchland
These are so tasty, and a great electrolyte boost. Great for working out and travel.
Lemon Lime Twist
I got this as a gift from a passenger on a flight once. They taste great, and have a immune support!
Liquid I.V. Hydration + Immune Wild Berry 14ct
Teas and Water Add-Ins
I love having this tea at home and with me on flight attendant work trips. Being on the road so much means I’m exposed to a lot of different germs, so I need any immune boosting products I can get.
Traditional Medicinals Organic Lemon Echinacea
My mom put me onto this, I put the recommended dosage in some water with lemon on a consistent basis. I’ll double up if I feel illness coming on.
NutriBiotic GSE 2 Oz Liquid Grapefruit Seed Extract
I love this on the road because it really helps me get a good nights sleep. And if I want to stay healthy: good, consistent sleep is a must!
Magnesi-Om
Go-To Supplements
I love Thorne vitamins, and vitamin D is a must. Especially for me, I live in Wisconsin with long winters, so I definitely need the vitamin D.

Juicing Essentials
I’ve been using this juicer for three years, it’s held up great. I mostly use it now for immunity shots. My favorite is orange, apple, lemon, ginger, black pepper.

Medicated Faves
If I do get sick, I love having this. Such a tried and true way to break up congestion. 
VapoRub™ Cough Suppressant and Topical Analgesic Medicated Ointment
These were once given to me as a gift when I was working. And they are such a game changer, such a great way to handle congestion when you’re sick.

Travel Must-Haves
Staying hydrated is a must. I like traveling with my own water bottle so I can use the refill stations at the airports and hotels. 
Pink
When I became a flight attendant, someone told me that a travel humidifier was a must. They weren’t wrong, that dry cabin air stays with you even when you get to your hotel room at the end of the day.
Homedics Portable Ultrasonic Humidifier with Night-Light and Aromatherapy Sage
These are definitely a splurge, but when it comes to disinfecting, I prefer to use something a little bit more natural than a typical Clorox wipe. These are great for airplane tray tables, or high-touch items in hotel rooms. 
Mini All Purpose Wipes
Cosmetics
This Chapstick is great anytime, but I especially love it when I’m battling a cold

Probably my all-time favorite lip balm for dry lips.
