How To Look Like A Million Bucks When You Go Camping

Camping can be rough since you might not have access to a blow dryer or running water. No need to fret, we tell you exactly how to look like a star even when you’re roughing it up!

Who says you have to abolish the use of cosmetics just because you’re camping?! If you are comfortable wearing cosmetics there’s absolutely nothing wrong with bringing some along with you. I would suggest bringing along a light foundation, lip gloss, an eyelash curler, waterproof mascara, moisturizer, eye shadows, eyebrow powder or pencil, blush, pretty much whatever you use on a daily basis. Don’t forget to bring chap stick too in case your lips get dried out from the cold. Pack a long a good unscented moisturizer since smells might attract animals.

Don’t listen to the folks who say you should go completely “au naturel” when going camping. If you are comfortable wearing cosmetics there’s absolutely nothing wrong with bringing some along as long as you don’t overdo it. It’s perfectly fine to bring along a light foundation, lip gloss, an eyelash curler, waterproof mascara, moisturizer, eye shadows, eyebrow powder or pencil, blush, chap stick, pretty much whatever you use on a daily basis etc. Don’t forget to bring along makeup remover cloths in order to remove your makeup at night; this is an excellent way of cleaning your face at night. Don’t bring perfumes or overly scented products as these can attract animal wild life. Bring along a very rich moisturizer in order to keep your skin soft,

Just because you’re roughing it outdoors doesn’t mean you have to out up with greasy and unkempt hair. Just bring along a bottle of “dry shampoo” with you; one that is quite good is Oscar Blandi Pronto. When your hair feels oily and dirty you apply the white powder to the roots of your hair and it works right away to absorb the oil and leaves your hair looking and smelling fabulous.

Now for all the important question; what to wear? Fitted track suits are cute while still keeping you warm and comfortable. It’s a good idea to dress in layers and wear a tank top or fitted t-shirt inside in case you get hot. Also don’t forget to bring a jacket with you in case it gets cold.

Don’t forget to bring along the real essentials too such as plenty of food and water, insect repellent, a flashlight and a cooler bag in order to keep your drinks and snacks chilled. Camping should be a great time all around. With these tips you’ll be the belle of the ball at your next camping trip!

All About The Beautiful Amazon Rainforest

There is just no place on Earth like the Amazon rainforest. This tropical jungle is just full of all types on plants and creatures that cannot be found anywhere else on earth. There are absolutely no modern amenities in this place which makes it a sight to behold.

It is thought that there are roughly 300 different species of plants in this rainforest but there are probably quite a few more that have remained undiscovered by the many scientists that have ventured here. The river that flows through the forest is the mighty Amazon and the water flow is said to be about one fifth of the whole planets water. This has given rise to the Amazon being known as the water basin of the Earth.

The local natives that live in the Amazon are a mixed race of local indigenous tribes and Europeans and are part of the Mestizo clan. These people tend to live off the local food in order to survive. Occasionally they may trek into the nearest town for supplies but mainly keep to their own land.

The rain forest is absolutely breathtaking and has atmosphere all of its very own. The dampness that surrounds the place is mainly down to the fact that it can often record up to nine feet of rainfall in a single year.

Hiking through the Amazon rain forest you cannot fail to be impressed by the sky high waterfalls that drop water as though it is straight from heaven.

There is lush green vegetation everywhere you look in this wondrous place and it certainly opens your eyes to the wonders of the environment in all its glory.

The temperature in the rain forest can be as high as 100 degrees but you can still be safely sheltered from this heat thanks to the tall trees that surround this area.

Despite the number of video reviews and photographs of the rain forest it still cannot compare to the real thing.
