I'm not exactly experienced with festivals yet but with Oxegen just two days away I thought i'd make a post on what I'm bringing to it to keep me sane and feeling fresh(ish)!
Hand sanitiser is a MUST for me and anyone going to a festival, if you're going, you're going to get so dirty and muddy and having dirty hands is going to make the trip just so much worse! Boots have a 2 for 1 offer on hand sanitiser so I picked up Carex Hand Gel with Moisture Plus. I'm not the biggest fan of the smell but I really don't think I'll mind all that much seeing as I'll be drinking and talking with my friends too much to notice.
I'm going to bring Hand Food from Soap & Glory for my hands which I'll probably use every night when I'm relaxing, if I get time to relax. It smells so good and makes my hands feel so smooth and lovely!
I bought a small lip balm from The Handmade Soap Co. in the flavour Choco-Mint. It smells gorgeous! It tingles my lips too, so minty! I'll deffinitely be taking it, it's in a small tin and makes my lips feel so soft, it's a nice substitute to bringing a clumpy lip gloss and I can carry it in my pocket.
Batiste have a really nice range of dry shampoos, something I'll need while away, seeing as I don't plan on showering (I have two packets of baby wipes for that!) they smell lovely and they're really easy to use. I bought it in Blush, the pink one, as usual, I think it smells nicest.
I doubt I'll be putting piles of make-up on every day, because I don't usually really care, so all I'll be taking is a concealer which I'll use as a foundation, eyeliner and some mascara. I know for a fact that it'll be smudged so much I'll look like a mess at the end of the day, every day, but it's a festival, I doubt anyone cares!
I'm so excited about Oxegen, I can't think straight or type a proper blog post so for that I'm sorry.
Also, I am now seventeen!!! Happy birthday to me!!

My Festival Fashion Essentials!
I'm going to a music festival during the Summer, Oxegen which I've never been to before. I've heard both good and bad things, so I'm going to write about my -must haves- to bring with me for the four days I'll be away. Hopefully it will be less of a nightmare than I've been told it is.
The weather is supposed to be atrocious every year so I highly doubt flipflops would be an option, instead I'll be bringing my pair of black leather Dr. Martens. These boots never fail to amaze me and can keep out any form of rain or snow, I'll be over the moon to have dry feet, as damp feet become unbelievably sore and irritating, that's the last thing I want for four days away!
Denim shorts are deffinitely a must have for Oxegen for me, they're comfertable and stylish, I find jeans to be annoying because I always have to pull them up, even if they fit me perfectly, I don't have this problem with shorts, be them high waisted or low waisted. They can be teamed with tights or long socks and still look summery, even if the weather is awful.
A nice summer dress will look really good paired with boots or wellies, whichever you're bringing so I think this is a deffinite yes. They can by found in any shop, and quite cheap too, I got a lovely black strapless one for €15 in New Look so there's no excuse for not having one!!
A few nice vest tops can be put with my shorts, Primark are seling really nice ones for €4 at the moment so I'll be down there really soon!
If the weather is to be as predicted I'll deffinitely be bringing a giant, long coat with a hood to keep me reletively dry during the weekend. They look wicked left open with a dress underneath or a shirt and some shorts.
With these items even if you're covered fully in mud you will have no excuse not to look brilliant this Festival season.
