If you’ve seen my previous post you’ll know all the beauty products you’ll need to make yourself look at least presentable during your stay, but here is a bunch of other products you’ll need to survive!
Of course the mains ones are a tent and sleeping bag, otherwise you’ll be sleeping out in the cold and although under the stars is a lovely thought, I’d rather be warm. I’d recommend bringing at least a couple of torches with you with spare batteries if you need them; you can also bring glowsticks, in total I have 2 torches, 2 glowsticks and a hybrid glowstick/torch, very handy.
Essentials, will include a First Aid Kit, incase of any small emergencies you can solve them yourself. Ear plugs and an eye mask are also brilliant, there will probably be a lot of noise going on when you want to sleep and the sun shining through in the morning can ruin your lovely sleep, so these are my recommendations, definitely.
A Water Bottle is also a good item, you can fill it up at the free taps on site and having it on you all day will stop you getting dehydrated. The bottle I have has a clip so it can attach to your jeans or rucksack and a even has a filter. [I’ve just realised I didn’t photograph it]
Anti Bacterial Hand Gel is a must I have the Cuticura branded one, but there are plenty out there. Bringing your own toilet roll would is a good idea, especially if they run out! SPF yes please, if you don’t want that pale skin to burn, Nivea Moisturising Sun Spray SPF 30 is my choice. A good tip for a towel – towels take up tons of room in your rucksack so instead of bringing your favourite Disney beach towel, think again and buy a micro-fibre towel, you can pick them up in your local outdoor store, they come in different sizes and colours, dry very quickly and easily pack away.
Remember your outside and at night the bugs do bite. You can buy small sprays of Insect Repellent and Bite Relief, but also you can buy these bigger bottles of Avon Skin do Soft which is a dry oil spray which keeps the bugs away in the first place, smells good too.
I brought a disposable travel toothbrush, which came with a little toothpaste but as I am there for a week this just won’t do me so you can buy little travel size of these and all other products too. I also have a small eco size deodorant, which you can also use as a body spray if you start to smell.
Hayfever if you suffer from this like me this is a must have to bring, otherwise you will not survive the trip. I’m bringing eye drops, nasal spray and hay fever tablets along with tissues!!! I’m also bringing some Ibuprofen, cause the sun and music may give you headaches, but I’m sure it will be fine.
And along with your clothes, that’s it – I think. So good luck and I hope you enjoy yourself at your festival as much as I do at mine.
Love
