Family Vacations Down the shore and keeping healthy with CVS Health

We try to live a healthy lifestyle, and we were able to keep up that healthy lifestyle on the way down the shore by shopping for a few snacks before our trip and then getting snacks at CVS again while we were there. Our Family Vacations usually consist of us forgetting a ton of stuff, but like I said, CVS has us covered!

We treat ourselves with a piece of fudge (or for the baby girl doughnuts for breakfast) on the boardwalk, but otherwise, we like to snack on Gold Emblem trail mix (we LOVE the classic blend!). Of course, my daughter found the graham crackers by Gold Emblem abound™ which is ORGANIC! She ripped the box as soon as we go into the car. We have a sleeve leftover from vacation and I’m thinking we need to make a tasty recipe with them, don’t you? 🙂

By the way, she almost ate that whole doughnut! It was at a local cafe and she “had to have it”. 😉

We can count on CVS caring for our health needs whether we’re at home, or down the shore!

We received an awesome package right before our vacation and it was so helpful for our trip. From the bandages, to the melatonin! I find myself having an even harder time falling asleep on vacation.

It’s pretty crazy that CVS approached us right before our mini vacation to Wildwood, NJ. Whenever I go to Wildwood, we always forget a few things and my main stop to shop CVS in Wildwood!

This time, we forgot our toothbrushes, sunblock and ALL of my daughter’s sand toys.

When it comes to the CVS brand products, we know we can trust them!

A few of our favorites are lubricant eye drops; these are a definite must for me and Chris. We both suffered from keratitis and now we make sure our contacts are extremely clean and our eyes are always lubricated, that sounds funny, but so important! When we’re on vacation, I wear contacts more than my glasses, and my eyes get SO dry. With contacts, you need to have contact solution! CVS has their brand of that too. I keep it all in my little makeup back along with lip moisturizer, melatonin sleep chew (I need my sleep) and hand sanitizer.

Traveling with a toddler has been so much fun and quite messy, so don’t forget to get some hand sanitizer too. We get the large pump so that it’s easy for our daughter to use. I also use the stick that can easily clip to your purse, your pocket, or even your shirt.

Then sometimes hubby gets a bad migraine. He has migraine associate vertigo, so we have to make sure he treats his headaches right away! Look at the savings. 🙂

When we got down our first trip was to CVS to get all the things I forgot. I swear I visit the CVS location at least once a day when we’re there. Even if it’s for a cold water bottle. 🙂 It’s easy to forget the things you need and thankfully CVS had us covered.

I was so happy they even had our favorite sunblock; my toddler has super sensitive skin, and this is the only kind that she doesn’t break out from. Then after the sun we use CVS Health Aftersun Aloe Vera. Be sure to use your CVS ExtraCare card (or your phone number) so you can get points too!

Traveling with a toddler has been so much fun and quite messy, so don’t forget to get some hand sanitizer too. 😉 When soap and water isn’t available it’s the next best thing for sticky, icky, and fudge!
