Summer time means BBQ’s, sun tan lotion straw hats and music festivals!
Brenda and I have been to a fair few including Witness 2002 - my very first music festival. We all pitched up in a field at Fairyhouse Racecourse. A fantastic group of friends together for one hell of a party.The sun was shining and the mood was electric. Fun fair rides, cold beers and ice cream.The Chemical Brothers and 2 Many DJ’s. Our best friend Jay was in his element that weekend.Watching Basement Jaxx in a muddy field as the sun went down will always be a treasured memory of mine.

Of course there is that less glamorous side to festivals. Overflowing toilets, queues and a lack of showers. A weekend of no hot water, mirrors or a hair dryer can prove tricky!
Here are some of my essential festival buys so you can enjoy the atmosphere without worrying about looking and smelling your best...well they will help at least!
Pocket size sun cream sun protection in one easy application
Antiseptic hand wash gel ...for those toilet trips!
Soap and Glory mini's are a perfect size for your make up bag.Try the body cleanser and lotion all in one, smells delicious!
24hr Max Factor False Lash Mascara really does last that long and more!
Rimmel Sunshimmer 3 in 1 a perfect way to stay looking bronzed all day. You can use this on your face, body and even as an eyeshadow. Handy!
Dorothy P’s sunnies really stylish but inexpensive incase you lose them
Havaiana's summer print wellies are bright and funky and will keep your feet mud free
River Island light weight parka easy to pack in and so handy for those chilly walks back to your tent at night to continue the party!

I wish I had thought of some of these...I remember smelling of cucumber thanks to cheap face wipes from Dunnes Stores - for better value.
Do you have any Festival Tips you can share?

ReplyDeleteI've had to buy one...I needed another snood/scarf to add to the collection! Mr Dyson will need another truck for my stuff at this rate. When I was writing it,I had grin from ear to ear! We had such craic, remember Eric went missing for ages and came back covered in mud wearing a Tutu?!x
