After a busy day roughing it in the wild, away from the luxuries of that Hilton Hotel in the big cities, us glamping queens need to take off our tiara's and climb into our sleepy sacks. Of course, we do not need to have a crappy sleep, we need to settle into our plush oasis, as though we were in the big city close to the nail bar and coffee shops. Anyway, a girl can dream can't she?
We must adapt or climb into our cars and dash off to the Big City Hilton. Calm your nerves – I got you!
Padded Paradise
Upgrade your inflatable bed with a luxurious memory foam mattress topper. This will fit snugly onto the mattress and give you a sleep experience fit for any queen. My suggestion is that when that little Amazon van delivers your topper to your home, do not take it out the wrapper or disturb it in any way. Put it right in your own car and wait to unpack it at the campsite. If your sleeping partner knows you plan to take it with you after you open it, you may end up phoning a friend to help you bury the body. Glamping Queen, Listen to me – I have experience.
Plush Pillows Galore
Surround yourself with an assortment of soft and fluffy pillows, creating a cozy nest to rest your weary head. Pillows go everywhere. You can never have too many pillows. You need some for pretty sake, but you also need some for between the knees, under the knees, under the feet because you don't want to rest your oil massaged feet onto those luxury sheets. Who knows, if you have the inclination after a busy day, you may want one under your… lower back.
Snuggle-Worthy Bedding
Ditch the plain sleeping bag darling, and opt for Egytian Cotton high-thread-count sheets (no wrinkle of course) and a fluffy duvet to transform your sleep space into a heavenly oasis. My favorite duvets are the ones that come from Ikea – you can get light weight to heavy down duvets – just get one that makes you feel like you are in the Hilton and you will be just fine.
Twinkle Twinkle Little Lights
Hang twinkling fairy lights or string lights near your tent to create a dreamy ambiance and a whimsical atmosphere. If you need to be camping with bugs and all, at least you can have some dreamy little lights guiding you to sleepland. You also can't see the bugs in the dark when you need to go and wee. I mean if you were in the Hilton you would not need fairy lights, but it's so dark when you camping and you need to feel like there are street lights somewhere, right? If you order lights that are solar powered, be sure to put the solar panel where it gets some sun – else you are not going to have the right affect. 🙂
Portable Bedside Table
Add a small bedside table next to your bed, complete with cup holders and compartments to keep your cell phone, hair brush, breath freshener and tiara within arm's reach. If you can't find a decent one – just bring your own bedside table from home. If it fits in your own car, you can take it.
Aromatherapy Adventure
Infuse your sleeping oasis with calming scents by using a travel-sized essential oil diffuser or scented sachets. If you must be out in nature at least it can smell nice and help you relax somewhat in this rather unusual environment. I wonder why people give up the comforts of home to live in a tent and still have to pay to do that? It must have something to do with Men are from Mars book.
VIP Wake-Up Calls
Start your day with style by setting up a portable espresso machine or a personal barista and barista station right next to your plush oasis, ensuring your mornings are filled with caffeinated bliss.:)
