Feng Shui for Traveling

By Jessica Hoelzel

Feng Shui While You’re Away: Tip #3



Bring your blanky. Yes, it’s ok to admit that you have an adult version of a security blanket. Lots of us do! Whether it’s warm, soft fleece or luxurious cashmere, and provided you have the space for it, take it along as a comfort item. It will serve you well on the car ride. Or cozy up with it while reading or watching TV at the hotel. You’ll feel right at home.

For extra relaxation and aromatherapy, spritz lavender-water on your blanket. Just fill a spray bottle with filtered water and add 10 drops of lavender oil. I use Young Living’s.

Having your own blanket also serves you well if you feel the hotel blankets or bedspread might be a bit sketchy. Cover up with it, or spread it over the top of the bed as you lounge around.

If you don’t have a lot of space to pack a blanky, bring a shawl or travel-size one. You’d be able to use both of these on a plane ride too. Check out this travel blanket from Magellan’s. It even has a pouch so you can stow it away in your carry-on after the flight.

Happy Travels!

Great tip - I love this! I did bring our son's blanked on our last trip, but hadn't thought about bringing a familiar one for us.

Yep, sometimes grown-ups (or "big people" as 4-yr old Addy calls them)need something to snuggle too!
