Festivals - The Essentials + A Festival Cocktail Recipe.

In my eyes if you are going to a festival this Summer and worrying about what clothes to wear, what make-up to take and what accessories to go in your hair - YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG! 

Let's face it you are either going to be a sweaty mess or a rained on mess (depending on our great British weather) so whatever you look like really doesn't matter in the end as festival are mean't to be about the music, the atmosphere and fun - it's not a catwalk.

The amazing team at Cardiff's St.Davids have provided me with the most essential festival pack to keep you going for the whole weekend:

The Festival Essentials:
Wind-Up LED Light - to find your tent after one-to-many.
Boots Lipsalve - don't let 'em dry out!
Batiste Dry Shampoo - Forget about washing your hair - this is the MOST essential.
Carex Hand Gel - get rid of the gross.
Boots Handy Wipes - I'd probably take way more than 12 but again this is a must.
Hawaiian Tropic SPF Lip Gloss - keep shinin' in the sun.
(Bag - c/o H&M)

10L "Water" (see: Alohol) Holder - A must have to keep you hydrated BIG time.
 Festival Cocktail:

3 Bottles of Cava
1/2 Bottle of Cointreau
1 1/2 Bottles of Fresh Orange Juice
1/2 Bottle of Citrus Squash
1 Whole (sliced) Orange
1 Whole (sliced) Lemon

Leave to stew for a couple hours and there you have a fresh festival cocktail!

What is YOUR festival essential (minus the tent obviously!)?

Pink Port Punch Recipe

This Friday Marks & Spencer in Cardiff St.Davids offered me a cocktail recipe to try out using some goodies - will I ever turn down free alcohol - NO! But really on a serious note M&S is awesome for food and they have a focus on picnics this Summer. They are running treasure hunts across the country with clues via their Twitter feed (@marksandspencer) where you can win a picnic in your city for 4 people on the day!
For those who are around they are doing the Cardiff one on Saturday 29th June.

Cocktail Ingredients:
Pink Port - 50cl
Prosecco - 75cl
Lemonade - 1ltr
Pomegranate Juice - 1ltr
Top off with Raspberries.
(I didn't follow this completely I put way more booze in than it says to oops!)

The punch was so lush, it got me tipsy anyway ;)

What are your fave cocktails/cocktail recipes?
