Camper Van Wellness: Simple Ways to Feel Your Best on the Road

If you’ve ever dreamed of taking a camper van down the Florida coast, let me tell you—the sunrises are stunning, the sea breeze is healing, and the simplicity of the road can restore your body and soul. 

My husband and I recently took a two-week trip from St. Petersburg to Key West in a cozy Winnebago Pocket Solis, and one thing I knew for sure: I wanted to feel well the whole way. That meant prioritizing daily movement like hikes along the beach, eating nutritious meals, and bringing along a few wellness staples to keep our energy up and our skin protected. 

In this article, I'm highlighting two of my favorite travel companions: Young Living’s Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 and NingXia Red. These two staples helped me embrace camper van life with vitality, energy, and confidence.   


Why Reef-Safe Sunscreen Matters

Florida beaches are some of the most beautiful in the world, but many sunscreens contain chemicals that can harm coral reefs. Young Living’s  Young Living’s Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 is reef-safe, meaning it protects your skin without polluting the ocean. It’s free of harsh chemicals like oxybenzone and octinoxate and instead uses naturally derived zinc oxide to provide broad-spectrum protection. 

What I loved most about this sunscreen? It went on smoothly (no ghostly white cast!), didn’t irritate my sensitive skin, and stayed on through sweat and sun.  Whether I was boating through mangroves or reading by the water, I knew my skin was protected and nourished with natural botanicals like raspberry seed oil and aloe.


NingXia Red: My Daily Energy Boost

Long drives, salty air, and new routines can leave us feeling depleted. I brought a stash of  NingXia Red with me and drank one every morning before our adventures began. This antioxidant-rich drink is made from wolfberries (also known as goji berries) and is packed with vitamin C, essential oils, and superfruit extracts to support immune function and boost energy.*  For me, NingXia Red is more than just a supplement—it's a daily ritual. I felt clearer, more energized, and ready to enjoy each new stop with curiosity and joy. Whether we were hiking at Bahia Honda State Park or watching the sunset from our camp chairs, I felt fueled and vibrant.


Final Thoughts

Wellness on the road doesn’t have to be complicated. A few intentional choices can make your trip more enjoyable and leave you feeling healthier when you return home. If you’re planning a camper van getaway, don’t forget your reef-safe sunscreen and a box of NingXia Red!  They were two small additions that made a big difference.
