So festival season is well under way, some have already been and gone but there are still plenty more to come! This weekend Body & Soul 2015 takes place. Although I'll be working on the bar, I still plan on having fun and looking cute. (Insert sassy emoji💁🏼).
If you're like me you're a last minute packer and chances are you'll manage to forget something. So try making a list of what you need and tick it off when you have it packed. I like to group everything into what can go in my handbag, what can go in my main bag and what can go into a toiletries bag. Just make sure to double check your list to ensure you wrote everything down!
Toilteries - Minis are going to be your best friends at festivals, Boots are currently having a special offer 3 for 2 on all minis. Toothbrush & toothpaste firstly because you're definitely going to want to brush your teeth. Penneys currently have handy toothbrush cases a pack of 2 for €1.50, great idea especially for camping. Festival showers aren't the most inviting things so deodorant and dry shampoo are definitely musts. Some people like to bring different types of wipes but for the sake of space saving I don't think you can go wrong with a packet of baby wipes. They're perfect for freshening up, cleaning mucky hands, boots etc and they're even gentle enough to use to take off your makeup. Hand sanitiser is great to have in your handbag at the best of times so for festivals it's going to be at the top of the list for obvious reasons. Nurofen is a good idea for those pesky hangovers. Festivals normally mean breaking out the wellies or Docs and they can rub and end up hurting so plasters are going to be a lifesaver, better safe than sorry!
Staying connected - I think anyone who has an iPhone will agree the battery life isn't the best especially when taking pictures and videos so I picked up this Power Bank from Penneys for just €8. I'm not too sure how many charges I'll get out of it but anything is better than a dead phone at a festival. Try to conserve your phone battery by bringing a disposable camera, you might also get some pretty cool photos out of it too.
Eating - Food at festivals are notoriously expensive, which is okay for a one day festival but not so much for 3 days. Capri-Suns aren't just for kids, they're great for a frefreshing hit the morning after. Rice cakes and breakfast bars aren't they typical festival snacks but I'm trying to stay semi healthy while away. If that's not your cup of tea regular chocolate & crisps will do the job. John West make lunch packs with pasta and tuna, they don't need to be refrigerated and it's a pretty substantial meal.
Extras - Things like toilet roll and plastic bags will come in handy too. You don't want to get caught in portoloos with no tissues. Bring a couple of plastic bags too, things are going to get messy at festivals so plastic bags will come in handy for bringing home any wet mucky clothes. Also having a bin in your tent will help keep the mess to a minimum.
If anyone is heading to Body & Soul let me know who your looking forward to seeing. Remember guys stay safe and enjoy yourself.
Love,
A x
