A Beautiful Women's Guide To Camping

Maintaining cleanliness and appearance can be a challenge when camping out in the great outdoors but don't let that stop you from being just as gorgeous as ever. You needn't sacrifice your captivating allure. You can and should feel and look at your best for the duration of the entire camping trip. It is possible to stay clean and beautiful while roasting and toasting over the campfire. Whether it is your first time camping or you have grown up in back-country keeping yourself at your best becomes a challenge when many of the amenities that you have become accustom to are unavailable. Luckily there are many products and habits that can keep you clean, polished and a delight to the senses. Feeling comfortable and confident, you are sure to have the best time possible. So, let's get started.

Step One: The first thing you want to do is create your own unique checklist of beauty and hygiene essentials. Creating a checklist makes packing a breeze. Forgetting one important beauty essential can effect the entire trip. Use this checklist below as a guide to creating your own list.

• Toilet paper
• Q-tips
• Mouth rinse
• Deodorant (You might want a water proof deodorant.)
• Breath spray
• Water (for washing face, etc.)
• Face spritzer (Purchase a spritzer or make your own. Water mixed with a few drops of coconut or peppermint oil in a spray bottle is quick and works very well.)
• Eye drops
• Insect repellent
• Make-up (Keeping make-up to a minimal is strongly suggested. Less is more, especially while camping. You want to look as natural as possible.)

• Salt Water in Spray bottle (for wavy, beach hair) Mix water with a little bit of salt into an empty, clean spray bottle. Spray in dry hair and scrunch with hands. No hairspray is necessary. The saltwater holds the look in place.)

Step Two: Choose your wardrobe and accessories carefully. This is a big key to keeping you feeling and looking your best. You want to layer your clothing. This is both fashionable and efficient when dealing with changing climates. Make choices that are comfortable, practical and of course very cute and stylish.

Step Three: Bring a book or something to do while camping. Bring a hammock. When you are relaxed or focused you look very beautiful. You could take a camera and take lots of pictures of the trees, bees, flowers and anything else that captures your attention or your heart. Create a photo journal of the entire trip. After all you will look amazing so why not. Try doing some night photography. This can be a lot of fun. Having fun will really allow your beauty to light-up even the darkest of corners.

Closing Notes: Keep your checklist and add to it during your trip. You could think of something that you wish you would have brought. There is always next time. Chances are that you will camp again. Most importantly remember that camping should be fun so don't stress if you break a nail or run out of mascara. True beauty comes from within. If your want your beauty to radiate and attract find something to be joyful about and smile, smile, smile.
