Ready for Moondust’s rapid results checklist to get you off to your winter break?
The first rule of new adventure: Bring your best health and wellness habits along on holiday!
The basics that serve you and sustain your energy and verve should not be abandoned. Remember to activate these smart habits for the fun and the health of it:
Sleep Well: Get adequate sleep. Create a bedtime routine to signal to your body that it’s time to rest, in any time zone. Avoid excessive caffeine or alcohol, and find comfortable accommodations with good noise insulation and comfortable bedding to keep your patterns positive.
Traveling to sun, sand, surf, or snow: Prioritize health on the go
Be safe in the sun and at your holiday location
Sun protection is a must in sun-drenched destinations or snowy climes. Protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
- Use Skin Protector Plus and reapply as needed.
- Wear protective clothing, such as wide-brimmed hats, long-sleeved shirts, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
- Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from within.
Special sun and snow combo tip: Protect at all altitudes. At higher altitudes, the sun’s intensity increases. Ensure adequate protection for your face, as UV rays are more potent at elevation.
Skincare counts for men and women. Consider these tips:
- Moisturization: Cold weather and dry air can impact skin hydration. Men and women would benefit from hydrating creams or facial oils to combat dryness, particularly for sensitive areas like the face and hands.
- Lip Care: Pack lip balms or moisturizing lipsticks to prevent chapping and keep lips hydrated in colder climates.
- Body Care: Use body lotions or body butters to maintain skin hydration, especially after exposure to cold or windy conditions.

Safety on the spot!
Safe travels. Research safe travel practices at your destination. This means using reputable transportation and avoiding poorly lit or isolated areas, especially when traveling solo.
Carry emergency contacts, local emergency services numbers, and have a plan in case of unexpected situations.
Situational safety is important for both men and women. Be alert and aware.
Pack essentials for your winter fun holiday:
Clothing and gear: Plan for layers adaptable to changing weather conditions. Be cozy warm or covered up and cool in snowy or sun-drenched weather.
Comfortable footwear: Comfortable and weather-appropriate footwear helps you navigate snowy or slippery terrains safely be it on mountain or sandy trails or snowy or icy conditions.
Hygiene and wellness supplies: Carry sanitary products appropriate for the duration of the trip, including extras in case of unexpected delays. Boost immunity by carrying vitamins or supplements, staying hydrated, and eating nutritious meals to ward off seasonal illnesses.
Nourish the new you
Let’s face it, dining at your destination is a highlight. While you enjoy a change of scenery, you still need to fuel your body with all the good stuff it needs and loves. Indulge in delicious local cuisine, yet maintain a balanced diet even on the go:
- Choose fresh and locally sourced fruits and vegetables as part of your meals.
- Opt for grilled or baked dishes instead of fried options.
- Stay hydrated by drinking water regularly and limiting sugary drinks.
- Pack healthy snacks like nuts, granola bars, or fruit to avoid unhealthy temptations.
- Balance your meals by including lean proteins, whole grains, and a variety of colorful vegetables.
Be active in any escape scenario you choose
Sticking with an active lifestyle while traveling contributes to your overall well-being. Here’s how you can incorporate physical activity into your travel plans:
Take advantage of the natural surroundings for activities like beach walks, hiking, or cycling. And if near water, consider snorkeling, paddle boarding, or surfing. And if by snow… shoosh down the hills on skis or snowboard.
- Explore the local area and engage in activities that bring joy and encourage appreciation of the surroundings.
- Inclement weather? Use hotel fitness centres or find fitness classes at your destination. Pack lightweight exercise equipment, such as resistance bands or a jump rope, for a quick workout in your hotel room.
