WHAT I PACKED VS WHAT I ACTUALLY USED

So yes I bought all of these things + more (not pictured) but I honestly didn’t use it all… here’s what I did use though ↓ ↓ ↓

•Clear Backpack

•My Camera

•Portable Charger

•Foldable Blanket (Amazon)

•Sunscreen

•Handheld Fan

•Handsanitizer

•Clorox Wipes (the bathrooms were very clean but I still wiped them down before touching anything lol)

The most important thing is probably comfy shoes ! By the 2nd day my feet were absolutely dead …

Note: this was for dreamville fest 2024 , I had an amazing time and it was such a fun experience ❤️‍🔥

... Read moreAttending festivals like Dreamville can be thrilling, but packing efficiently is crucial for an enjoyable experience. The key is to bring only what's necessary to ensure comfort and convenience. First and foremost, prioritize comfort with suitable footwear; many festival-goers find that a second day can lead to sore feet if they're not adequately prepared. A pair of lightweight walking shoes can make a significant difference. Hydration is also vital. Using products like Liquid IV for hydration boosts can keep you feeling fresh throughout the event. Essentials such as portable chargers are lifesavers, as staying connected can enhance your festival experience. Consider bringing a clear backpack to comply with event regulations while ensuring easy access to your items. Additionally, personal hygiene products like hand sanitizer and Clorox wipes are excellent for maintaining cleanliness, especially in crowded environments. Sunscreen is a must to protect your skin throughout the day, and a foldable blanket can offer a comfortable spot to relax when needed. Always remember to check the festival's official list for prohibited items to avoid any inconvenience. Following these tips can lead to a memorable festival experience without the burden of excess baggage.

Protein-Packed Sweet Potato Bowl
Cottage cheese is having its moment, again, but along side ground beef and sweet potato. This is my take on its and its so good. This clocks in at 450 calories, 40 grams protein, and 33 net carbs. If you are watching carbs closely, you can do it with spaghetti squash, eggplant, or even zucchini
