Festival Chic

I have attended enough outdoor music festivals in the UK, Belgium and New Zealand for them to be put on despite terrible weather. Without becoming one of the countless wee girls stranded, with no friends, muddy, soaking wet in a dress and jandals on supposedly on 'one of the best nights of the year', make sure you prepare yourself.

Festival Tips:- 

1. Go with the rain, don't fight it, have fun

2. Gumboots and ponchos are a must

3. Sunscreen, water and a hat- if you are lucky with warm weather

4. Drink through it, alcohol can help!

5. Go with like-minded people

Get to know where the toilets are and any other amenities you might need like a clean bathroom, good food stalls and a meeting place for your friends.

Unfortunately a lot of concerts especially festivals, aren't held in big cities but in smaller residential areas or in the middle of the country. Cell phone towers are often jammed with the sudden large quantity of people, so don't count on the fact the you can text / ring to meet up with people. Organise meeting spots prior to going. 

Likewise, take enough cash with you and purchase gumboots and ponchos before leaving home- they often sellout and you don't want to be queuing either. If you are tenting, take loads of rubbish sacks for wet/muddy clothes or these can be even used as ponchos if you're stuck.

Have fun!

Look forward to getting clean. I love this sweet orange and tangerine soap at Lush. All profits are donated to the Sea Shepherd, anti-whaling cause in Antarctica.

Sea Shepherd Australian Director, Jeff Hansen says “During its past seven campaigns, Sea Shepherd has saved the lives of over 2,781 whales and has exposed illegal whaling activities in the Southern Ocean whale sanctuary to the entire world. Last season, 863 Whales were saved from the brutal harpoons of the whaling fleet.

“During the 1900s, the majority of soap was made from whale blubber, making the launch of Lush’s  Divine Whale soap even more significant. Lush’s strict no animal testing policy and its dedication to creating ethical, sustainable cosmetics makes us proud to stand alongside them.”                          - Lush.
