Beauty at Camp

These two things on paper look like they should not go together.

These are 10 tips and tricks that I learnt after many summers working at overnight summer camp. Some of these might make you more comfortable, some might make you laugh.

However, I want to share my tricks of the trade with all of you. Enjoy!

1#

Paint your nails so you don’t see the dirt underneath them.

2#

Lint roller is a must have item. Lint roll the bed to get the sand and dirt out and off your bed. You will sleep more comfortably for sure.

3#

Dry shampoo will become your best friend!

4#

If you can French braid your hair, you might want to keep it your best kept secret or be pimped out by your whole cabin to do everyone’s hair.

5#

Buy BB/CC cream as foundation for your days off/travels after camp. This is a sure fire way for your foundation to match your beautifully sunkissed skin after a summer in the sun.

6#

Hats are the hottest accessory you own. They keep you sun safe, they hide your unwashed hair (and for me, they help control the frizz!)

7#

The best light you’ll ever get to shave your legs is on the cabin porch - fact!

8#

Only wear scented body spray or perfume if you want to attract all the insects. Give it a miss whilst at camp.

9#

Keep baby wipes by the side of your bed. Camp is a dirty place, wipe your feet down before getting into bed - you will thank me later.

10#

Keep scented dryer sheets in your suitcase for your non-camp clothes. It will help keep everything smelling a little fresh after two months.
