TIME TO PACK YOUR RAVE BAG

I am a big fan of weekender bags. I have always liked having them, but since I started going to events for two or three days, I have really fallen in love with these babies. Packing your rave gear is always enough of a struggle without having to lug around a giant suitcase, which is why weekender bags are so perfect. You get enough space to comfortably put a few days worth of outfits without feeling like you are packing for a year-long voyage, and their smaller size also limits you and stops you from bringing non-essentials with you, which if you are an over packer like me, also has its benefits.

I figured this would be a good companion to the rave bae article (which if you haven’t read you should go check it out), because let’s face it, festivals tend to be one of those weird places where you let go of inhibition and are often kind of sequestered in a place with a bunch of strangers (some of who are super hot) for a few days with zero cell service, so things are going to happen.

Snow Globe 2018 is almost here, and it’s time to make sure you have everything you need to rock the night away without freezing your butt off the entire time. There has been a lot of snow on the ground in Lake Tahoe, so we all need to be ready for a cold one. Though we still have a few days left before we all need to get in our cars, trains, or planes and head up to Tahoe, it is essential to make sure you have everything you need ready to go so that you don’t end up forgetting something important on the way out.

At a festival, it helps to have something that can be spotted over a long distance, easily and quickly. In the lead up to Snow Globe, my friends and I decided that we were going to make a totem so that we could find one another in the crowd. I wanted to share a little about our experience and some ideas to make sure your totem is not only super cool but easy to stop across a large crowd.

A few weeks ago Electric Forest tickets went on sale, and within the first few hours were gone entirely, much to the irritation of thousands of people who had wanted to have their shot at going to this amazing event in the summer. Scrolling through the comments on the Electric Forrest Instagram after the sell out was incredibly illuminating. There were hundreds of comments left by people who were unable to get a ticket, and one thing was obvious: they were pissed. So, I decided to put together a few little tips to ensure that this never happens to you again,

YOU SHOULD BE BRINGING PERFUME TO RAVES

YOU SHOULD BE BRINGING PERFUME TO RAVES

You should be bringing perfume with you to raves (and clubs) for one obvious reason: it can get kind of smelly. Yes, hopefully, everyone is wearing deodorant, but even then it is pretty hard not to get a little stinky. Hours of sweating because of dancing to amazing music and walking around to see all of the cool installations and photo ops can make even the most sweat proof outfits a little grow. This is where having perfume on hand is a wonderful idea.

Raving is a lot of work. You need to make sure that you give your body what it needs beforehand and not just after if you want to recover well the next day. I know it can be hard to force yourself to eat a filling meal especially if you are like me and lose your appetite when you are excited. No matter what you end up deciding to eat please make sure that it has enough protein, carbs, and healthy fats to keep you going.
