Festival Life
Festival season is here! As we get ready to head riverside at Rancho Del Rio for the Magic Beans Festival, Beanstalk this week, I’ve been making a list and checking it twice! As the list queen, I thought I would share my ultimate festival packing list (including some of the brand/styles I use) that will lead you to festival success!

Unless you are doing the cabin life these items will save your life at a festival!

Other MUST HAVES:
- First Aid Kit
- Trash Bags
- Dry Shampoo (Lush Cosmetics is a dream)

There you have it! This is what I would consider an ultimate gear guide to full festival success. Obviously you can dive into deeper detail as to what party must haves or extra underwear you should bring. If you don’t have enough space to bring it all, try and coordinate with your crew and divide up who is in charge of bringing what.
Lastly, remember to drink water, recycle and coordinate with your festival buddies. We want everyone out there to be SAFE and drink as much water as they can. It’s summer time and the weather is hot. Nobody likes to see that one kid that is at the medical tent or passed out in the middle of the show. Accidents happen but when it’s on the account of being irresponsible it’s a total buzz kill for.
