    Personal Hygiene Hacks for Music Festivals

    Music festivals are generally messy, and the shower lines can get really long, but keeping clean and staying fresh is an essential part of enjoying a festival. I’d like to list some of my new favorite personal hygiene products that I’m using this festival season.

    Wipes of any kind are super handy at festivals, but these two wipes are my favorite. The sanitizing hand wipes have a refreshing smell that helps you feel extra clean and the eucalyptus helps cool you down. Carpe is a great deodorant brand and I know several people that swear by it. Their underarm wipes are great for a mid-day refresh before heading out for the night-time fun.

    This all natural, aluminum free and plastic free deodorant balm is a unisex deodorant that actually works! I personally love the cedar and eucalyptus scent. I also find having tissues handy is clutch at a festival. These “snap & go” containers keep the tissues dry in the rain and each tissue is easy to remove individually.

    Brushing your teeth and washing your face at the beginning and end of each festival day is super important. Brushing your teeth helps keep bacteria from developing in your mouth and can help keep your immune system strong. I love these compressed towels because they are disposable and you can easily wash your face with a fresh towel every time.

    Festivals can be overwhelming for every sensory input. Its important to remember to once in a while find a dark, quiet corner, and mentally rest. But sometimes getting in the right relaxing headspace can be difficult at a festival with so much noise. Thats why I like using aromatherapy to help me decompress from the world around me and it helps me when I’m feeling over stimulated.

  • Best Scrubs to Scrub Out 2020

    Best Scrubs to Scrub Out 2020

    I think everyone is excited to see the year 2020 gone for good! Here is my list of my favorite scrubs so you can scrub and wash away 2020.

    The grown alchemist face scrub that is on the corse side, but feels more gentle than the Jack Black and the Clara sea Scrubs. It has a nice smell, and it’s one of my empty items this month.

     

     

    The grounded coffee Scrubs is another scrub that is on the corse side and I love this one because its 100% completely all natural. I have two “flavors” for different Skin concerns. One has tea tree oil in it for clearing blemishes and the other has vitamin C for fading dark spots.

    The Jack Black scrub with peppermint oil is one that my x-boyfriend used to use a lot (along with Neutrogena’s Hyloronic acid face moisturizer) He loved this scrub because its corse and has the refreshing feel of peppermint oil. the old version used menthol, which he liked better than the peppermint oil, but he still liked using the newer version.

  • World Mental Health Day

    In honor of world mental health day, I just wanted to let everyone out there who is struggling that you are not alone. I’ve had issues with my own mental health since the time I was 16. It took me a couple of years to finally get the cocktail of medications that I’m on just right to keep me stable. I never take happiness for granted, but I do have less extremes ups and downs now.

    I was in a verbally abusive, gaslighting and manipulative, relationship with someone who turned into a different person while we were dating for 5 years. I’m here to tell you it gets better, you just need to take that first step and get out! I’ve been seeing someone new for the past 2 years and I honestly can say I’ve never been happier. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

    If you aren’t feeling well, reach out. People care about you, but are sometimes so distracted by the problems that affect them they can’t see your pain. Reach out to those around you, trust me they will want to help.

  • Picnic in Prospect Park

    For Labor Day weekend, I decided to plan a little picnic in Prospect Park. I already have all this gear that I usually use every year at Jazz Age Lawn Party, but that was obviously cancelled this year. I think most people are still acting fairly cautious because only one of my friends ended up coming. But we still had a great time and it was really nice to see a friend in person for once!
