Ahhh, summer: it is just upon us! Since we were kids, the thought of glorious summer went hand and hand with HOT lazy days, amusement parks, playing hard, picnics, BBQ’s and road trips. Make Summer Travel Easier With Dramamine®

For my daughter and me, summer this year kicks off by attending BlogHer for the second time. BlogHer ’17 takes place June 22-24, 2017 in Orlando, FL. We both work at a school and are counting down the days to our ultimate bonding time of uncharted territory. Neither of us have been to Florida before, so we are both a little nervous around all the “adventure” we will be experiencing. We are planning our trip for 10 days, which will include over 16 hours of travel from Portland, including a lengthy shuttle bus ride followed by HEAT, an exciting BlogHer conference weekend, HEAT, 3 days at Disney World, HEAT, and 2 days at Universal with a little HEAT to top it off. I am sure being native Oregonians – this is going to be quite a shock to our systems.

Make Summer Travel Easier With Dramamine®

I have always been prone to motion sickness, but over the years and after having children, it seems to have gotten worse. A few years back when we made our first long family road trip to Disneyland in California, I discovered Dramamine® and it was a game changer. Before, the only way I could keep it together and function was to be the driver… try doing that for 36 hours straight; it was not fun. On the way home, I broke down and told my husband I just can’t drive all the way home. I was also scared of feeling horribly sick all the way home as well. I remembered a friend mentioning she used Dramamine® during her last cruise and had zero seasickness! Oh boy, Dramamine® has changed my life!

 

So, needless to say, the first thing that will be going into my bag will be a bottle (or two!) of Dramamine®… I mean have you been on a shuttle bus?! EEK! I just discovered that Dramamine® now comes in a non-drowsy formula, Dramamine® Non-Drowsy Naturals! This will be amazing since we are West Coast girls and will already have a hard time waking up early. Plus, natural ginger is perfect for my daughter (she has a surprise in the works that has YET to be announced) 😉 If you have not heard of Dramamine® before, they’re America’s number one over-the-counter product for the treatment of motion sickness. Dramamine® Non-Drowsy Naturals delivers powerful relief from motion sickness and helps prevent nausea, dizziness, vomiting and queasiness. For best results, try taking Dramamine® Non-Drowsy Naturals 30 minutes before starting an activity or at the moment symptoms begin. It’s effective and safe to use every day of your travel and is available at most mass, drug and grocery store throughout the United States, prices range from $4.99-$7.99.

I am so excited for this mother/daughter getaway and I am making sure to be fully prepared for any motion sickness we may face from the heat, travel and amusement park rides.

 

For those of you who also suffer from motion sickness, here is a list of the seven items I always pack to help with my symptoms!

 

1   2 bottles of Dramamine® Non-Drowsy Naturals – this is a given! Prevention is key and I plan to have an amazing time!

2   Reusable water bottle – staying hydrated will help your tummy and keep dizziness to a minimum.

3   Battery operated fan – “fresh” air will help you relax whether on the plane or a shuttle bus.

4   Snacks – keep small amounts of food for snacking because an empty stomach can make nausea worse.

5   Ear buds – those who suffer from motion sickness know reading is the worst. I always make sure to download a great book or two to listen to on the plane.

6   Bandana or scarf – when feeling nauseous, a scarf or bandana can be wet down to help you cool off

7   Hair Tie – if you have long hair like me, putting my hair up in a ponytail or bun helps keep it out of my face and cools me down.

  5. I don’t typically get motion sickness, but when I do having cold air on me helps and some water and crackers.

    Thank you for the chance to win!

  10. I don’t have it but my twin daughters are beginning to get sick riding in the car. I have them watch where they are going and not play on tablets or read since it makes it worse. I need to try the dramamine for them now.

  16. I try to stay hydrated; I find that staying hydrated, keeps a good amount of the motion sickness away.

  18. I combat motion sickness by lying down and keeping my head still or trying to think about something else. If all else fails, medication could help but I have not had to use it yet.

  20. I rest my head against the seat back, to keep it still, and I do deep breathing and talk myself down.

  26. thankfully I only get motion sickness if I am a backseat passenger or if I try to read while the car is moving. Since I have started driving, I haven’t had to do either for years.

  33. The only thing that helps is using dramamine and sitting in the front. I can’t read anything or it would make it worse.

  36. I have used Dramamine ever since I was little. I have horrible motion sickness so bad that I can get it from an elevator. Dramamine helps!

  39. I have taken Dramamine before to help with motion sickness. I also try a fizzy drink, closing my eyes, and concentrating on something in the distance.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  40. I don’t really combat motion sickness other than avoiding reading while I travel since it makes me so sick. I tried Dramamine before and it put me to sleep. I haven’t tried the non-drowsy formula yet but it sounds like a keeper!

  42. I try not to read anything if in a car, because that makes me feel funny. Also, I carry gum with me and that seems to help.
    Thanks so much.

  44. I’m fortunate that I’ve never had to deal with motion sickness before. I’ve heard suggestions like keep your eye on the horizon or drink something fizzy to combat motion sickness.

  50. I don’t usually have motion sickness but my husband does. He takes dramamine which help him.

  54. I deal with motion sickness with some Chinese ginger candy. But guess I need something stronger. Gotta try this Dramamine.

  56. Luckily, I haven’t had to deal with motion sickness while traveling. If I ever do, I’ll reach for the Dramamine.

  58. I’ve had motion sickness my entire life. It wasn’t until last year that I tried Dramamine and it was amazing. I recommend it to everyone I know.

  60. I have suffered with motion sickness since I was about 12. The thing that works best for me is laying my head down on the door, or driving the car.

  68. I only suffer from motion sickness on boats and luckily I don’t do that very often. Dramamine definitely helps when I do.

  72. I’ve always used Dramamine to help with my motion sickness on long road trips!
