As I type this post, I’m currently at the airport returning from my cruise. As my mind is fresh on travel. I thought it would be good to share with you guys 5 Things You Need for a Cruise from a newbies perspective.

Immune Boosters for Cold & Flu Season

Kick-Ass Immune is a product that I initially purchased for travel. I loved this product because it could be taken without water. They recently changed the packaging (not sure if they changed the formula) and it now has to be mixed with water which I'm a little disappointed about. I will say that this was my favorite out of all of the immune boosters, and it's really fast-acting.

Herb Pharm Daily Immune Builder 
Herb Pharm Daily Immune Builder is my second favorite. Love the size of the bottle, you could actually fit it in your pocket if needed.  I typically keep this on hand with me. This has to be mixed with water. However, It's super easy to use, and it works.

Effer-C™ Elderberry Packets
I tried the Effer-C™ Elderberry Packets for the first time last year, and I was hooked. They come in Togo packets which is really handy to have on hand, and they're actually great for immune support and energy. I love the flavor of these packets, and they actually don't take that much time to mix.

Emergen-C
I started using Emergen-C almost seven years ago. It's great to keep on hand, especially for the cold and flu season. What I love about this product is that you can pretty much find it at any of your favorite stores, and you only have to mix it with water.

Natural Immune Boosters 

Garlic bread is one of my favorite things to make. I literally can eat alone or I've been known to make breakfast sandwiches on garlic bread as well. It's just so yummy! For all my bread lovers, you totally understand. This is my goto recipe and I know you're just going to love it.

Are you a fan of garlic bread?

Ingredients

For my son's last breakfast of 2019, he requested pancakes. This is the goto recipe that I've been making for years. This recipe is super simple to make and I typically always have everything on hand.
