A road trip or weekend excursion can be healthy and stress-free if you pack the right things. Here's what you should consider bringing to feel good when you're out of your routine.
Straight From a Wellness Guru:
Caleigh Rykiss (@caleighfit) knows a thing or two about making the most of life, starting with her business. BOLO is a boxing-focused gym in Toronto that also includes a work space, coffee shop, and even a hair salon. We caught up with this multi-tasking guru about her favourite on-the-go essentials — and then added a few BH picks for a healthy weekend getaway. (Psst: Here are more expert tips for healthy living.)
Accessible Travel Beauty Case
“I am always on the go and often do my makeup in an Uber, so having a makeup bag that expands into a flat surface is a must.”
Love and Lore Triplet Pouch, $25, indigo.ca
Pack All and Pack Light
“Don’t sacrifice items! Instead, pack something that isn’t cumber-some but meets your needs. I like portioned deodorant wipes – I’ll carry one, use it a few times and then toss it when I’m done.” (Also, check out these travel-friendly beauty products.)
EO Deodorant Wipes (6 Wipes), $6, well.ca
Stay Organized with a Laundry Bag
“Keeping a laundry bag is key. You don’t want to be cross-contaminating wet, dirty clothes with clean ones.”

Turn Off Your Phone
Amp up your wellness getaway with a digital detox. You can take a ‘gram break and still capture memories with an Instax. (See if you could benefit from a digital detox.)

Pack a Cozy Combo
Keep cozy while expanding your brain power. A good book and comfy reading socks make for the ultimate lazy Sunday duo. (Psst: Check out the books you need to read to call yourself a book-lover.)
