Things to Pack to Monmouth (Part 1)

Heimerich and I will be going to the Battle of Monmouth. 
Usually I put packing things into categories... kind of like this: 

- Reenacting Clothes/Things
- Modern Clothes
-My make up, etc

While the Reenacting clothes part will be a completely dedicated post, this one I'll just briefly mention what I bring to for a reenactment weekend. Some number 1 items are drier sheets and baking soda... Drier sheets are to keep insects and mosquitos away, and the baking soda is meant to deter ants away from our tent. Instead of being smart and bringing items like bug spray relief, because Heimerich and i are in our 20s, a pack of beer or 2 will be a lot more useful in the long run. 

As for modern clothes, I'll bring 2 outfits. Depending on my mood when we visit the camp on the set up day, Friday, I will show up in normal clothes-- this is a lot better to wear when driving. A bathing suit is an awesome thing to bring because there is a shower!  I bring at least 3 bras because no one wants to sit around in disgusting summer worn clothes.

If planning on drinking massive quantities of beer, I will bring some snacks specifically for Heimerich and I to steer the "drunkshies" away. There will also be massive quantities of water.

As for my side of things, being very face conscience and girly, I like to hug the modern feminine side of things throughout the weekend. Simple things like not being able to live without some sort of chapstick. I will bring all of my over night face things, like Queen Juliep's Mint mask, something to put on my face to keep oil away until morning. Bobby pins are a plenty... my favorite hair brush... and a very good toner. My face will break out if I do not take care of it at an event. An easy way to avoid this is to use a toner, at least for me.
