🎪✨ Festival season is ON — and so is the mission to survive it in one piece. Here’s your ultimate guide to staying healthy while living your best glittery life:

💧 Hydration hacks: Water > warm cider. Add electrolytes, freeze your bottles, and sip between sips.
👟 Protect your feet: Dance hard, but don’t let blisters ruin your vibe. Comfy shoes + plasters = lifesavers.
🍗 Avoid food poisoning: If it smells dodgy, it is dodgy. Trust your gut before it betrays you.
🔒 Safe s*x: Pack protection. Consent is s*xy. So is being prepared.
☀️ Sun damage: SPF is your BFF. Reapply like your skin depends on it (because it does).
🧠 Panic attack plan: Overwhelmed? Step away, breathe deep, text a mate. You’re not alone.
🎧 Protect your hearing: Earplugs = cool. Tinnitus = not.
🚽 Make sure you poo: Festival food + dehydration = constipation nation. Fibre up and don’t hold it in.
💥 Your body is your festival ticket — treat it like VIP.
👉 Tag a mate who needs this checklist and save this post for your packing prep!
