My first large festival and I don’t think I’m going to be missing another one. The music, party and vibe was amazing. I was staying at buddy’s place really close by so didnt have to camp(Just a 30 minute walk), which probably woudn’t have to bad, but it was nice to have a pool with the heat out there.

We didn’t see all the bands but did check out Black Keys, Swedish House Mafia, M83, David Guetta, Radiohead, Calvin Harris and Dr Dre and Snoop. What a party! Pretty much spent the day chillin by the pool and around 4:30 5 head over to the show and dance dance dance until like 12:30.

I made some great new friends and tightened bonds with the ones I already had.

Found this website and am thinking about checking out some more of these festivals. http://top40.about.com/od/top10lists/tp/musicfestivals.htm

2. Put on clean socks and some shoes that you haven’t worn in a few days. Shoes take a couple days to release any moisture they have absorbed.

3. Give yourself a good shave (face or legs). This is another instant refresher. Especially if you have sensitive skin or the weather is dry. You also will look so sexy!

4. Look at any trophy, diploma, or certificate of achievement that you have earned. And if it isn’t framed and on the wall, frame it now. These are reminders of your accomplishments, and taking in your success is important to maintaining your self-esteem.

5. Remember your last (or greatest) success and think about it for sixty seconds. Taking in your success as often as possible will help you reach another and another. You can do it again.

6. Know you are the person your loved ones think you are. And yes, that goes for your dog too. Knowing that you are unconditionally loved can’t help but make you feel good about yourself.

7. Wash your car, inside and out. Your car is your horse keep it clean and be a knight (or princess).

8. Organize your closet and get rid of anything that no longer fits. Old clothes may come back into style, but you really don’t want them on hangers for the next twenty years. Donate if you can, but don’t worry to much about it.

9. Cook an awesome meal. Even if you are by yourself, though sharing it with someone you love and/or respect will make it even more nurturing.

10. Look around you, remember that you started with nothing, and know that everything you see, you created. We can all lose our feelings of self-worth, especially when something goes wrong in our world. If you have done it before, you can do it again-no matter what.
