DOs & DONTs for a FESTIVAL

Hello everyone, since I'm not attending Coachella I decided to still dress in a festival attire and share some of my own tips on the DOs and DONTs when you go to a festival. For those of you who #love festivals, you probably already have a feeling of what the list might look like but for those of you who have never been to one, take a peek at it! Over the past 1-2 years I've attended New York City EDC, New York City Ezoo, Mob Decent Brooklyn and Life In Color festivals. I know that some of you might distinguish these festivals as "raves" but to me they're all just festivals. You get to dress in a way that makes you, YOU, you get to sip on some sweet drinks and you get to dance                                                                      while seeing artists that you love!  

                                                                             
                                                                                  DOs

• Wear comfortable clothes, even though rompers are complicated to use the bathroom in, they're the easiest to dance in! 
• Bring sunglasses and/or hat! 
• Sunscreen is a must as well, you don't want to get burned. 
• Make sure you have cash, the thirst is real!!! 
• Bring at least one portable charger! You're going to take lots of pictures and videos! You will not want to take time away from having fun to delete stuff on your phone so you can have space. 
• THIS IS SO IMPORTANT: WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES PLEASE. Sneakers, flats or boots. Don't wear sandals, don't do it to yourself =x
• As for girls, bring your "monthly" essentials. You never know if your time of the month will appear. 
• Wear all kinds of fun accessories, people love seeing you dressed fashionable! 

DONTs

• Don't wear heels, that's a little crazy. You will not feel comfortable at all and you will have your life for that day, literally! 
• Don't accept anything from strangers, especially a drink or even "juice". You do not know what they have in that drink.
• Don't bring a LARGE BAG, you will not want to hold it and it's hard to dance while holding a large purse. 
• Don't get drunk, seriously! I mean drink as much as you can. Have a limit. You don't want to end up acting like a fool and/or annoy your friends. 
• Don't go there with an attitude, everyone who enjoys attending these festivals are lovable people :) PEACE UNITY AND LOVE <3
