Music festivals are hard on you; all that jumping around, slamming drinks and running to the next stage, and then hitting the after-after party takes a toll on you. The professional festy heads know you need a break occasionally, some downtime to sleep a little more, and give your body some time off. We’ve rounded up some essential items to help you power down and recharge on your day off.
Bougie Beach – Beach House Room Spray (Salt Lime Coconut)
It’s incredible what your sense of smell can accomplish if paired up with the right scent. The Bougie Beach team has engineered a spray so refreshing that if you close your eyes, you are immediately transported to the Caribbean and will have coconut rum on your brain. If you add a manta sleep mask and turn on the sounds of the ocean, you are halfway to paradise, baby.
Refresh your linens, your room, or yourself with the smell of a Caribbean beach, and kick off your relaxation routine at the beach, even if it’s in your apartment!
Honeydew Bamboo Sheets ($299)
A good night’s sleep is worth its weight in festival VIP passes, and Honeydew’s Bamboo bed sheets are about as close as you can get to sleeping next to a baby seal. They are soft, silky, and just the right weight for hot summer nights.
One of the standout features of these bamboo sheets is their exceptional breathability. Throughout the night, it was easy to stay cool and comfortable, which was clutch for meeting the sandman in a timely fashion. If you are a hot sleeper and get night sweats, the moisture-wicking properties of bamboo are quite effective in keeping your perspiration at bay, ensuring that you wake up refreshed and well-rested.
Another thing we love about these sheets is that they are made from bamboo, a sustainable resource known for its rapid growth and minimal water requirements, making these sheets an environmentally responsible choice.
The Honeydew Bamboo Sheets are expensive, but their durability and easy-fit design help justify the purchase, and you are worth it, right? You can also bank on the luxurious feel, breathability, and eco-friendly properties that make them stand out from traditional sheets.
Keika Charcoal Peppermint and Tea Tree Soap ($9.99)
A nice hot shower can do wonders for your body and brain, especially before taking a nap or winding down for the evening. Unwrap a bar of Keika Charcoal Peppermint and Tea Tree Soap and let the gentle lather and soothing smell calm your senses and tired muscles. The soap’s natural ingredients and commitment to a clean and eco-friendly approach are an extra plus, and they plant a tree for every bar you purchase; gotta love that.
The soap’s rich; black color comes from activated charcoal, known for its deep-cleansing properties. The blend of peppermint and tea tree provides a soothing, cooling sensation, and the aroma sends your nose into a chilled-out orbit.
Aside from getting clean, an added benefit of this type of soap is that it helps remove excess oil and impurities without leaving skin feeling dry or tight. It’s the perfect match post-pool or after not showering for a few days post-festival camping. You feel like a new human after lathering up with this stuff, and yes, we are that excited about a bar of soap.
Keika keeps things natural; the soap is free from harsh chemicals and synthetic fragrances. For those seeking a natural, environmentally-friendly soap that caters to sensitive skin, we highly recommend it.
Spalife Under Eye Patches ($8.00)
For the final step in your post-game wind-down, it’s time to pamper your puffy eyes that have been open too long. Instead of slapping cucumber slices on your lids, make the jump to gold dust, baby! Spalife’s Under Eye Patches with rejuvenating gold dust are about as SPA as you can get in your crib. Does anyone say “crib” anymore? Asking for a friend.
So after scrubbing yourself into peppermint bliss and slipping into the silky sheets, slap on some Spalife’s Under Eye Patches with Rejuvenating Gold Dust for the ultimate pampering and revitalizing experience post Burning Sand Festival, errr Dusty Man, or something like that…
We cannot scientifically validate the benefits of gold dust, but it creates a healthy glow and reduces the appearance of fine lines.
Upon application, the patches adhered comfortably without slipping or sliding around. The hydrogel material felt cool and soothing, creating a spa-like sensation. The patches were generously sized, covering a substantial area under the eyes, and the gold dust particles were visible, adding a touch of luxury to the experience.
The gold dust, in combination with other rejuvenating ingredients, provided an immediate brightening effect, reducing the appearance of puffiness and dark circles. After using them during consecutive chill sessions, we did notice that the under-eye area appeared plumper and more refreshed after each application. You get six pairs per box, so they are not expensive and an excellent addition to any recovery ritual. Stay GOLD PONYBOY/GIRL.
Eli&Elm Side Sleeper Pillow ($105+)
It’s time for lights out, and if you are a slide sleeper, the Eli & Elm Side Sleeper pillow is your game-changer. It’s all in the name, right?
The specially designed pillow helps those of us who sleep on our side, providing the perfect support by conforming to the precise contours of the head and neck. One key factor that makes this pillow so great is that you can remove the filling to achieve the perfect density and height for your tastes. You unzip the pillow, pull out the filling accordingly, and you have a customized sleeping solution.
Our closet is filled with pillows that haven’t made the cut; it’s kind of like a pillow graveyard of sorts. Now we have found the solution that checks the boxes for support and comfort, now if it would scratch our head a little to ease us to sleep.
