CARNIVAL MUST HAVES

It's Carnival time again and we are ready to celebrate! Soon we will be parading in the streets, soaking up the good vibes in brightly coloured costumes, with drinks in hand. Bachannal is all about feeling liberated and unified as one people. In the midst of all the excitement in choosing a band and planning a showstopping outfit, some  preparations could be overlooked.  We want your experience on the road to be awesome! So here are 5 Carnival Must Haves you should consider.

Portable charger
A low-battery notification is no fun when you are trying to capture Instagram-worthy moments. With no charging port in sight, things could start looking bleak. This is where a portable charger saves your experience for future enjoyment. But ensure that it is fully charged in advance.

Tumbler
Marching all day in the sun, and drinking, can lead to heat exhaustion or dehydration. Smart revelers always have water at hand. A full tumbler of water is perhaps one of the most important things you need during carnival.

Fanny Pack
A fanny pack is a hands-free bag that you can wear around your waist. That helps you avoid carrying a bag on your shoulders or holding it. It also allows you to wine all you want without any restrictions. Because they are now popular there are plenty to choose from that best match your style or costume.

Portable Fan
Jumping to the lively sounds of the Soca music blasting, one is bound to sweat even a little. By carrying a portable fan, you can easily whip it out to feel some much-needed cool air.

Comfortable Sneakers
We get it, the heels complement the look of the costume so much better. But with all that dancing and parading you are going to wish you wore comfortable sneakers. Top Siders are also comfortable when you stay on your feet for hours. They key is to choose shoes that have soft insoles to ease the tension in your feet.

Sunscreen
The sun in the Caribbean can be very brutal. At any point when you are exposed to direct sunlight sunscreen is needed to protect your skin. At Carnival, you can't avoid the sun and its UV rays. So we recommend you wear sunscreen, perhaps reapplying every two hours.
